assisting 101 with donna paulsen [CLOSED]

[yatagarasu]

[Kay was excited. Donna was fun to be around, a cheery sort but also really smart. And she was an assistant, too! It couldn't hurt to learn some assistant tricks from a master...and have a shopping trip while they were at it. It was a nice day, perfect to scour shops and see where she could spend her allowance on. A thief's gotta have an appropriate wardrobe, right? Right?

So Kay skips down the pavement, eyes always on the shop windows that displayed really cool jackets, awesome scarves, and even a dress or two for when she had to accompany Mr. Edgeworth on particularly formal occasions because that's totally what a good assistant does. Then she stops in front of a store and presses her face against the glass to peer at a sleek black coat with deep pockets.]

Look, Miss Donna! That coat looks so cool - like what a secret agent would wear!

[Aren't you supposed to be a thief/assistant, Kay? Not a secret agent?]

Comments

[executiveassistant]

Of course not! Sniping the jobs of poor detectives is not my idea of fun.

You've got a special skill set to offer to Mr. Edgeworth. If you can't carve yourself out an--above all--invaluable spot for yourself, then I've misjudged you.

[yatagarasu]

Man, I really like this jacket...

[When Kay slowly takes it off, she looks as though she'll never see it again.]

Objection! I am invaluable! Without me, his work would be way boring! And I can help him recreate crime scenes with Little Thief!

[executiveassistant]

[And briskly, Donna takes it off of her hands, folding it over her arm neatly and nodding.]

Excellent. We'll consider it a down payment towards your new and improved executive assistant status.

[she takes care of the assistants she takes under her wing, okay.]

And that is exactly the sort of spirit I am looking for. Of course you're invaluable. Certainly invaluable enough for a paycheck, wouldn't you say?

[yatagarasu]

Then that's the first thing I'm gonna tell him before we work on another case!

[Kay pumps her fist into the air and even jumps up excitedly. She is already thinking of all the things she could do with a paycheck. All. The. Things.]

[executiveassistant]

Good, good. May that excitement carry you forward towards great things.

[mooooving towards the cash register to buy this lovely coat and make kay into a lovely assistant, yes.]

I think we can declare this a rather successful outing.

[yatagarasu]

[And Kay will follow her like an obedient assistant of an assistant.]

You said it! Can we do this more often? Please?

[executiveassistant]

[so very obedient. Good little assistant.

Donna just arches an eyebrow at that, smiling.]

I think that can be arranged. After all, you have to report your successes to me. I'll be waiting.

[yatagarasu]

[Kay lights up at that, already looking forward to their next lesson.]

I'll even keep a journal! I won't miss a single detail!
