RP POST: The Perils of Personal Ads

He doesn't want to take the responses, but he knows they're coming.

Well, he thinks he knows. Maybe he'll get lucky and nobody will respond at all. But Phoenix somehow doubts he's that lucky, to be honest. With his luck it's going to be some crazy person with a gun, or who is an assassin in their home dimension, or thinks the color green is really funny. Or who jumps straight to sex. That seems to be common in the Nexus.

He sits in his office, tapping his fingers nervously. Phew. He wishes he could find whoever posted that thing.

((Feel free to post responses to the personal ad here! Poor Phoenix.))

"Well, it's more like the prosecution can interact officially with the police, and the defense kind of has to grab the scraps sometimes." He sighs. "It's hard being the one who has to defend the 'bad guy'."

"Okay, a lot, if you're not used to it." He shrugs. "I sort of am. Work with a spirit medium, actually. It's pretty interesting."

"That's... I'm sorry, but that's really weird."

"Oh? You do a lot of murder cases?"

"Huh. Wish things weren't weird for you, then." He chuckles nervously. Oh dear. Um.

He nods. "Yeah, though she's not used for that. She's a legal aide, actually. Long story. But yeah, I'm a criminal defense attorney."

"Legal aide? She channels dead lawyers to advise you?"

[wright-idea.livejournal.com]

"Er, no, she's just a legal aide. That's all." Well okay, she summons ONE dead lawyer. But that's only under duress, and at any rate he's not about to mention that on a first meetin.
