Manfred von Karma: take 2 [5/5]
First Person (entry type):
--tch. To think that I have been degraded to using this...mechanical tomfoolery to speak my mind. An utter disgrace.
...however, I suppose it can be tolerable for the purpose I wish to use it for. After all, a...face-to-face confrontation would not exactly be applicable to a man in my position. I'm sure you know that better than anyone else, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Rather foolish of you to think that you'd be rid of me quite yet, with your charming charades and ridiculous naivete that I will thoroughly enjoy crushing beneath my feet.
...of course, I would not want to rush. This can be saved for another time.
For now, I wish to extend my greetings to all those I may have held contact with before my...incarceration. I do hope our interactions from this point onward prove to be more meaningful and consist of less nonsense dither than they did before. And to those I have not communicated with before and who wish to engage me in conversation...while I will not discourage you from doing so, be aware that I will not tolerate meaningless talk of personal matters or the like. If you have something you wish to say to me, get on with it and spare me the dramatics. I am a busy man.
Third Person: [Set in the aftermath of his trial against Gregory.]
A penalty. A penalty.
He felt his hands quiver and, with a low growl of fury, he lashed out and slammed his fist into the courthouse wall, feeling a dull pain lace up his arm but he ignored it, it wasn't important. No, what was important here was that Gregory Edgeworth was going to pay.
"Foolishness," he muttered, taking slow, drudging steps down the hall towards the building's exit, letting his arm fall down to rest heavily at his side. His fists were clenching, unclenching. Clenching, unclenching. "I am Manfred von Karma. I am perfect, I cannot--I WILL not let myself be sullied by that man--"
...but if he were to be honest with himself, he already was. The Chief Prosecutor had already filed the paperwork for his penalty. It was a dirty word, coiling like black smoke and he waved a hand in front of his face, grinding his teeth in an effort to shoo it away, however intangible it may be. It was dirty. He felt unclean, soiled, blackened by this penalty that draped itself over his shoulders like a cloak, and somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he wasn't thinking clearly, but damn it all if he wasn't listening to that nagging voice at moment.
Everything he'd worked for for twenty five years. A perfect record. Granted, his record itself remained intact. But that little black mark...
Oh, he would get him. He would cover Gregory Edgeworth in black marks of his own, grind him into the ground like the bug that he was and watch him writhe in pain and scream for mercy but, no, Manfred von Karma was too perfect to have the concept of mercy--
--and then the lights went out and the ground shook beneath his feet.
