Hi.

This is going to sound like a strange question, but what's today's date? The last day I remember is October 11th, 2025.

Also, is there anyone else from Los Angeles, preferably from around this [inkblot] particular time period?

Thank you.

I'm not sure any of us know exactly what the date is, because there's a point made to hide those dates.

That said, given your question and time frame, I think I know people from when you're from. I live in Los Angeles myself, though the last I remember, it was late February of 2017.

We should speak at some point, I think.

I'm Miles Edgeworth. If you're from Los Angeles at that specific time, do you know either the Gavins or my...close friend, Phoenix Wright? If so, I'd like to speak with you as soon as possible.

So, we're from the same place but, uh, different years. That kind of thing seems to be happening a lot around here. Do you have any idea around what decade this is even supposed to be, though? Man, this is so weird

[another inkblot]

Yeah, I think you're right.

You mean you're THE Mi Yes, I know all three of them! I'd go into details, but this probably isn't the best place for it.

When did you want to meet?

I think it's supposed to be at some point between 2006 and 2009, though I'm not entirely sure. I'd tend to think the latter more than the former. Time tends to act very strangely here.

I see. No, this isn't the best place for getting into details, I don't think. As for meeting...are you free this evening, after we get back to the Institute? If so, I'll come by? What's your room number? (I'm in room M59, but I don't know that it's quite safe to meet there.)

I keep hearing people say things like that, but does anyone have any idea why? The only answers I'm getting have to do with time travel or alternate dimensions.

[And yet another folded-over reply.]

You mean once the night shift has started, right? I don't have any plans, no. I'm in room M97, so you're free to come by if you're able.

But...why isn't your room safe, sir?

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

It's a bit of both - which I know is hard to believe. The timelines here diverge so wildly from what they would at home, and...well. I'll try to explain that better tonight.

[folded-over note]

That's what I mean. I'll explain things in more detail later.

[mister-fine.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[folded-over note]

All right. I'll see you tonight, then, sir.

Should one of us take down some of these folded notes? Maybe our room numbers shouldn't be made public like this.

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[All of the folded notes have been taken down and are in Edgeworth's private notebooks.]
