Riddle 021: Angel Aftermath

[questionauthority]

[Well, Edward's back from Westport, and he's definitely a little worse for the wear. This hasn't exactly been a very fun couple of days for him. As soon as he gets home, he shrugs off his coat, hangs his hat and his cane on the rack, and makes his way to the phone.]

[Public Call, standard filters in play]

This is Edward Nigma. I'm... back from Westport. I haven't heard too many things about what happened here in my absence, but I can't imagine it was very pleasant. Those of you in my Ethics class will no doubt be relieved to hear that I'm canceling tomorrow's class. Perhaps I might cancel a few classes next week as well, if I'm not fully recovered by then.

Your assignment for this weekend is to write a page or so on... Hmm. "What do you feel is the worst decision you've ever made?" ...that'll work. You can just leave them on my desk at school, if you wish; I'll collect them and grade them over the weekend.

[Private Call, filtered to the Legion of Doom]

I trust you're well, ladies and gentlemen?

...I'll be honest with you. This angel business has caused a major setback in our plans. If possible, I’d like to call another meeting to order at some point within the next two weeks. As an organization... we need to give ourselves more structure.

As for our meeting place? Well, I won’t hesitate to admit that my basement was not a Grade-A rendezvous point for our location. Still... I’d say I’m smart enough to have already found a much better spot. I’m a real class act, after all. Aren’t I?

[Action, for the Death House. Susan, Slugger, Terezi, or anyone else who may have crashed there during the angel takeover, feel free to run into Edward as he does his best to recuperate. He takes a shower and shaves his face, then comes downstairs in warm, clean clothes to make himself a massive lunch.]

Mr Nigma? Do you mean the worst one here, or anywhere?

[Eating an apple in your kitchen. Need new locks bro.]

Your riddles need a little work.

[Slugger has heard the phone call -- both the filtered and unfiltered halves -- due mostly to the fact that he has been standing behind Edward for the duration of the call, silently observing him. When Eward turns around, he will find his not!son staring up at him with much fascination.]

...Westport.

[Make with the details.]

Oh. You're back.

. . .

Making a mess already?

If you're not showing up, that means we don't have to either, right?

[The male voice is soft, low, and cool; there's little emotion in it. L has stayed out of the traumatic happenings around town since his arrival, instead opting to try to find his feet through observation of this new situation. Rin advised him to speak to Nigma, and while it's not the most promising lead, he can't afford to throw it away without following through on it.]

Mr. Nigma. You've chosen an interesting topic, hm?

[Someday socklessliving might have all the good icons and a paid account with editing capabilities, but this is not that day. This is not that day!]

Westport? You were in Westport? Was the road opened again?

[Aaaaand filtered]

Time and room number, then?
