As Maya rushed out the door, Dante's jaw dropped to the floor. "...St-STELL SAMURAI MUG?!? WHERE'D THE HELL SHE GET ONE?!" :wacky-edgy:

If anyone could probably guess, Dante was a huge fan of the Steel Samurai ever since he was a kid moving into America.

"I'M GONNA BEAT SOME INFORMATION OUTTA THAT KID~!!" His cigarette flared up into nothing as he began to froth at the mouth.

He suddenly went calm. "Oh. My cigarette went out..." He pulled one out of his shirt pocket and plopped it into his mouth. "Anyone got a lighter?"

Mille slipped a lighter out of her suit pocket. "This do ya?"

Matt blinked at the prosecutor triplet slightly. Her? A lighter? Why would she have that? None of her sisters smoked...

Mille suddenly popped in without any prompting. "I usually play with it, but...it's functional."

Ethan came up to Noah's place as per the directions he was given. He walked to the door and knocked on it. Ethan took a step back as he waited for someone to answer the door.

That's right, I'm producing something. Expect something to come out of my new production studio.

"Your place is hard to find Noah!" Ethan said walking in, "Took me so long just to find this place!" he said as he set down a bag of beans he brought. "Hey Noah, I brought a very rare blend." he said getting a grinder out and pouring the beans in. " Its from a rare Perubian coffee plant that grows its beans once every 10 years." he said as the grinder stopped grinding and poured the ground beans into the perculator and waited for it. The aroma the beans gave where a very exotic flavor, one that can make any mouth water at the mear smell of it, its aroma filled the room.

"I thought you'd like it" said Ethan. "It cost me a fortune just to get, and its been a while since I had a client to defend." he said as he poured a cup of his blend into one and served a 2nd cup for Noah, "Here you go Noah." said Ethan.

Maya made her way back to Noah's house from Wright & Co. Law Offices. "I'm glad I remembered this!" she exclaimed, "I probably wouldn't have slept tonight If I didn't drink at least one drop of coffee in it." Then she pondered her last statement, "I probably wouldn't have slept with any coffee." When she finally reached the house again she went to ring the doorbell but hesitated. "I just thought up a brilliant idea!" and she ran to the side of the house.

Noah took a sip of the coffee. "...Mmm!" He took another sip. "MMMM!" He took another sip. "HOT DAMN THAT'S GOOD!!!!! The beans are obviously double roasted... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!" Noah heard something outside. "...Oh crap. Hang on, I think the back patio's coffee maker is acting up again." Noah went out the glass door near the back. He heard the noise again. "...Erm... Hello? Is someone there?" He examined the coffee maker. "Well, it SHOULD be fine... Oh, looks like SOMEONE needs a new filter!" Noah began changing the filter.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Noah has a coffee maker in every room of his house- AND A FEW ON THE OUTSIDE!

"What the... Was that... It... it can't be! ....Well, actually, it can but I don't expect it to be..." Noah turned around mid-filter replacement. "...M-Mia!! Mia, is that really you? ...Seriously, I can't tell, it's really dark." Noah went in and turned on the porch light and went back out. "...Mia, it really IS you!!!"

Dante grabbed the lighter from whoever gave it to him turned in that direction. "Hey, thanks-" He was cut off by noticing somthing that usually scares him when he does stuff he shouldn't be doing: A cravat.

"ACK! DAD, I CAN EXPLAIN--oh?" He noticed it was not a man who was wearing the cravat, but a woman. He chuckled, with a little blush "Sorry, I thought you were my dad there for a sec."

The two people who had been by the door earlier walked in. The man was wearing a cloak, and a shirt witha high colloar around his neck. The girl was wearinga shirt that went down to her wrists. The two made quite an odd couple.

The man sat down on a chair, and started playing a guitar.

The woman sat next to him and watched him play.

The man ignored Tyler, and kept playing his guitar.

The woman talked to tyler "I am Atricus ((I'm going on a detour, it's pronounced At-rick-us, BTW)), and this is my brother Alecto. He's mute."

"O-oh, I've been great! My, uh, my addiction to coffee has been keeping up. But, what about you? How's li-" Noah paused. "How's life in the fa-" He paused again. "...Treating every day like it's your la-" He paused again. "...Erm...Gee, I wonder what's on the radio!" He turned one near him on. "That's life! (That's liiii-)" He shut it off.
"...This is not going too well..."

Dante looked over to Noah, who was a little scattery aty the moment, but seemed to have cooled down a bit. He shrugged and then took the cigarette out of his mouth. The smoke seemed to have veiled his face for a moment, and he plopped it back into his mouth. He also noticed another medium who looked like the one from previous before, but with bigger, umm.... noticable things.

"Hm? Who's the stacked chick over there?" he mumbled to himself.

In the meantime not too far away from here, a rather iritated looking girl with short blond hair came storming twoards the house. Her abnormal acolyte medium clothes (Normally what you would expect to see is a purple jacket-like robe with a tan dress-like robe underneath. However that is Kurain style in Los Angeles.), what would happen to look like an outfit worn by a japanese priestess, swish furisously with her pace.

"Doggone it, Dante. You were supposed to be home hours ago! Now I had to hear dad rave for the whole time!" She got to the door, her violet eyes gleaming at the address to be sure she was at the right house. She rolled up her sleeves and pounded on the door.

Mille blinked a few times. "Anyone suddenly feel like doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance?"

Matt shook his head. "Wouldn't that new boy in the prosecutor's office want to?"

Mille huffed. "...I wasn't talking to you, Matthew Gilderoy Engarde..."

Matt frowned. "That's not my real full name."

Mille pouted. "I know. Let me have my victory, dangit..."

Dante could slightly recognize the pounding of the door, and to tell you right now, it wasn't pleasant.
"Do NOT open that door..." He tried to get the words out of his lips. if that was who he thought it was, it could only mean one thing: Kentucky Fried Shit.

Dante heart began to speed like one of those F1-Cars you see on one of those special races on TV.
"Oh shit... I'm fucked..." He mumbled, covered in sweat.

He could slowly hear a door click from a further distance and swing open.

"DAAAAAANTEEEE~" A rather annoyed and very angry spirit medium came storming towards Dante. He was now confronting his little sister, Ivy.

"Uh.... Hi Ivy..."

"Dante, you were supposed to home about an hour ago! What the heck are you doing?!"

Dante sarcastically started to scratch his head in ponder. "Oh gee, I believe it's a thing called 'trying to enjoy life' You should try it sometime."

"Dante, you are such a bum!! And what the heck is that weird aroma around this place?! Are you smoking stuff with other people?!?"

Atricus was indifferent to the woman.

"He has, so?" said David, making a pointn of breathing a lungful of somke at her face.

Alecto cocked one eyebrow when he saw Ivy. Then he smiled, showing a row of pointy white teeth.

Ivy scoffed at Dante, after raising an eyebrow seeing someone give off such a random smile at such a random time.

Dante just looked at her after her previous question "It's called coffee, Ivy. I'd be thinking you'd figure that out by now..."

Ivy crossed her arms "Is that scent REALLY coffee Dante, or are you just hiding drugs?"

Knowing that her sister had not heard of much until she moved in with Miles, he tipped his head upwards, mumbling in Italian "Oh sorella, te avere molto di imparare..."

Ivy glared at her older brother "You BETTER be watching you mouth, Dante..."

Dante sighed "You'd better try this stuff, Ivy." He turned his head to Noah "Hey Noah! What's the best type of coffee for a coffee newb?"

"Cocaine, why?" asked David

((Sorry for this, I juust need to do this.... SA))

"David, we aren't talking 'bout drugs." said Dante.

"Oh, right... then don't ask me. I'm slowly getting stoned heer."

Without hesitation, Dante took the nearest cup and picked out a random coffee flavor. Signaling that it was hot, he placed it into Ivy's hands. "Try it." Dante crossed his arms as Ivy stared blankly at it.

Ivy cocked her head "Coffee...?"

Dante scoffed, blowing his bangs out of his face and flopped back into his face "Look sis, just drink it. Just be careful, it's hot." :edgeworth:

Ivy glanced at Tyler, then at her brother, then at the steaming liquid as if she suspected poison in it, then at Tyler and Dante again.
Dante rolled his eyes, "Look, it's nothing like that crap you call tea, just drink it already."

Ivy shuddered, closed her eyes, and took a sip of the drink of seducing aroma.

.... Her closed eyes twitched as she continued to sip it down.

.... she continued to sip it down...

She finally let out a little belch. She covered her mouth with her sleeves, holding an empty cup before Dante. "More please? She asked innocently with half puppy eyes.

Alecto noticed a tortoise (which was actually Noah's) underneath his chair.

He moved to crush it with his heel.
