WARNINGS: Discussion of domestic abuse in open trial prompt and one closed prompt
The Trial of Enji Todoroki [OPEN]
[ Enji Todoroki, a famous retired actor was arrested on charges of domestic abuse. The media went wild and court reporters fight for seats every day of the trial. Photographers and camera man sit out on the courthouse steps or in the hallways if possible in hopes of getting a shot of Mr. Todoroki and his lawyers. The internet is wild with arguments among fans, and as the trial proceeds and days pass it doesn't look like the chaos surrounding the case will cease. ]
A. [ The judge had declared a recess for lunch and after some extra effort and a roundabout route Matt had reached one of the nearby restaurants. He's sitting now alone now and eating in silence, his bag tucked into the small booth seat next to him. At one point he puts his fork down and takes his glasses off so he can run a hand over his face. There are bags under his eyes that one might notice if they get a glance before he puts the shades back on.
It would be easy for someone to slip into the booth across from him if they wanted to... ]
B. [ His closing argument had gone well, he had reminded the jury of the medical evidence and the testimony given by the defendant's son. The defense had offered counter points and again tried to paint their client as a good man one last time before the jury left to vote. With all the press surrounding this case the air feels thick and heavy in the courtroom when the foreman stands to announce the verdict. Everyone there might have been holding their breath.
Guilty. The room erupts in noise that drowns out the full list of charges as they're read and the judge has to bang the gavel. It barely takes a minute for the news to reach out of the courtroom.
Matt takes his time putting his papers away, knowing tv reporters might tackle him for a statement if he steps out immediately. People crowd around the doors and start filing out. Now is as good a time as any to approach ADA Murdock if you were seated in the courtroom. ]
Liar liar plants for hire! [OPEN, WILDCARD]
[ Matt had been able to hear the pulses of everyone around him for months now but in the past week or so he had started to take notice of the sudden change of pace that some people's hearts would take in the middle of what seemed like calm conversation. That was when he realized he was witnessing lies. Some big, some small, some white, some of terrible intent.
Of course now that he had noticed this lies began to stand out like a loud ringing every time that he heard one. ]

Trial Prep for Shouto [closed]
Thanks for coming. You're right on time.
[ He offers Shouto a handshake as he reaches him. The door behind Shouto closes, leaving them alone to speak freely.]
As I recall we've spoken before on the app. Possibly elsewhere. [ Matt please. ] Your classmate, Mary Yaoyorozu, lives with me, she's my niece.
no subject
Yeah. Once or twice, I think.
... I didn't know you knew Mary.

[ Matt gestures towards one of the chairs in front of his desk as he takes a seat in the other. ]
no subject
[Shouto takes the chair as he's gestured towards it.
sorry for being rude, matt.]
How do you know where stuff is?
no subject
[ He chuckles when Shouto asks as he walks around his desk and settles into his chair. ]
Well this is my own office, I have the location of things memorized the same way you can probably wander around your own room in the dark. Everything else involves feeling, like tapping with the cane I walk with.
[ Or the humidity in the air inside a dragon's mouth. You know, the usual! ]

McDonald's! McDonald's! for Baren [closed]
no subject
Yeah, yeah, I'll be over tonight. Stop complaining, I'll bring him - make sure you pick a really scary movie so that he regrets it, okay? Oh! And get some of those pop up snakes so we can hide it in the popcorn.
[ . . . hm.
Yes, that's Baren. He turns off his phone call and moves to do one full swivel in the chair he's sitting in - but then manages to notice the company close by.]
Oh.
Hey, man. [baren holds out a container of french fries and - ] Want one?
no subject
Oh uh. Thanks...
[ He thinks twice about calling him by name. Does Baren really definitely recognize him? Or is he just being friendly to the guy sitting nearby? ]
no subject
Sure.
Is eavesdropping a hobby of yours?

Who moi? for Cleo [closed]
Hey.
[ He doesn't say her name, not sure she'd take it well that he knows her scent now. It was easy to tell apart from other people thanks to the whole... well, cat resemblance. ]
no subject
[Cleo is... Well, she's in a great mood lately. She passed the police academy, despite February's everything, and now she's a full-fledged member of the force. She's in her uniform, and it's enough to boost her mood and confidence.]
How are you doing?
no subject
[ He finds a mug in the cabinet and fills it. ]
How have you been? Tired of getting called "the rookie" constantly?
no subject
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. And not at all, I'm just waiting to show up everyone else.

Stumbled for Kouhei [closed]
The line shifts forward right as one of the other customers was trying to squeeze by to reach the fridge and they bump into each other, sending Matt's phone toppling to the ground somewhere. ]
no subject
That is, until the clatter of a phone falling to the floor near his feet is enough to catch even Kouhei's attention, and upon picking it up and turning to the person behind him who apparently dropped it, his eyes widen just a little.]
Matt? Ah, um.... It's Kouhei, from Retrospec. Is this your phone?
[Holding it out, he gently taps it against the side of Matt's free hand, hoping not to startle him too much. It's true that they've never met in person up to this point, but having another blind friend, Kouhei's thankfully learned a learned a little about cues.]
no subject
Hey, Kouhei. It's- It's about time we ran into each other. I'm surprised we didn't meet sooner. I believe that is my phone unless that other person dropped theirs...
[ If there's any doubt the text from Matt's niece is front and center on the screen with "Matt" at the top. "Thanks Uncle Matt. By the way is he your officially your boyfriend now?" ]
no subject
I could say the same. I'm getting into the habit of leaving campus more, so this is a nice surprise. And I think only your phone--
[But as he speaks, he glances down at the screen, and quickly looks back up upon realizing that the contents of the text are rather personal.]
S-Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. But your name is on the screen, so I'm pretty sure this phone is yours....

wildcard.
No, it's fake. Maintaining a real one just for an accessory would be pretty hard, y'know? I just wanted to try something different.
[THE BIGGEST, FATTEST LIE when the "it" in question is the flower stuck permanently in her eye. It's not like she can explain that to a non-Retrospec user though. After a bit more gushing about ~*aesthetics*~ and compliments, the other girl finally leaves, and Rose tiredly jabs her fork into the slice of cake she has.]
Fucking finally. Never thought she'd leave. [While a part of her is pretty pleased at the fact that she's managed to trick more and more people into thinking this is a real fashion statement, enough that it's apparently catching on as a trend, she didn't think that'd mean having to deal with random strangers asking her about it on the street. She just wants to eat cake in peace!!]
no subject
[ Rose might not be the warmest person ever to walk the earth but he's a little surprised she's that incredibly frustrated by a stranger's compliments. ]
no subject
[ROSE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY. She's just too lazy to deal with unexpected consequences... Like people taking her seriously.]
no subject
...Rose did... Retrospec change something about you, physically?
[ Unusual accessory could easily mean Retrospec change or item that is inconveniently odd in appearance. ]
You seem stressed.
[ More than usual. ]

A.
It takes a few minutes for Derek to find Matt, but he eventually sees him walk into a nearby restaurant. Upon entering the establishment, he sees Matt take off his glasses and run his hand over his face. Wow, those were some impressive bags under his eyes. Derek new that the case Matt had been working on involving Todoroki was in important one and that the guy had some really good lawyers. But Derek was sure Matt could win the case.
Derek doesn't ask permission, and just slides into the booth across from Matt.]
Remind me to buy you a drink when this is all over. You deserve it mate.
wildcard; lmk if this is workable!
You know I always trip over my feet.
[More than just lying, the reminder of the injury to his face brings back memories of the adrenaline that came along with it, and despite his even tone his heart is definitely picking up.
Yeah, yeah, it's just impressive every time. Wouldn't think a guy like you would bruise that easy, even if all two hundred pounds of you ran into something, replies the other man.
Ren doesn't really care if his coworker believes him or not, as long as he stops prying and leaves him alone. Even with his general improvement in mood over the course of the year he's been on Retrospec, it doesn't mean he's gotten any less irritable around certain types of people. Or that all of his anger issues have gotten solved.
He mumbles dismissively if just to get away from the topic:]
I have an engine to fix. [The other man mumbles a cheery alright, whatever and steps off to take care of his own business, and Ren lets out a sharp breath, like he's holding himself back from doing something ill-advised.
Strangely enough, as that's happening, there's the sound of a metal tool lifting off of a table several feet away and flying through the air to smack into a gloved palm.]
I should make him run into a few doors.
[The sinister mumbling obviously isn't meant to be heard by anyone, but, well. He hasn't taken into account any supernatural hearing.]

Ren is the type who's determined to use whatever he has to his advantage, so he's not shy about using his powers if he doesn't think he's going to get bothered about it. He's certainly become more aware of his own surroundings thanks to a few Retrospec gifts, meaning he can get away with it without being noticed... most of the time. He's not even sure that the mundane people around him would notice if he did, but he's not entirely willing to test that while he's working.
He's alone in the garage area of the shop for the time being; today has been a slow day, so the only real repairing that needs finishing is what he's working on now. He'll enjoy the silence while it lasts, since his nosy coworker is bound to return eventually, but the other man is busy enough chatting with the other man at the front counter.]
