[ It was probably all over local news and stuff and also people freaking out on social media and Tarkea stocks crashing. Rip. It's an international furniture giant though it'll survive. ]
Ahh, it's fine! No one got hurt, and a bunch of the others got to go out and really up their hero cred puttin' it out! And Taky got 'em to write the whole thing off as an electrical fire so their insurance would cover it!
[ This is not really an unusual experience for him, so he kind of leans back but it's more out of reflex. He doesn't shove Datz away or anything. But he does seem a bit flustered to get his personal space invaded!! ]
U-uh, yeah. It functions like a real one too, so it's not like, just a glass eye or anything. I can actually see out of it.
[ Straightens now that he has his New York luxury space back. ]
I don't know if they do. I work in a special department, it basically necessitated me having a prosthetic eye. Regular officers and detectives don't, even in my city.
[ Maybe you can ask Apollo about HIS special eyes though. ]
Oooh, OK, I think I gotcha. There's this other attorney who works with AJ who does some kinda... I guess she just called it analytical psychology? But anyway, it's this thing she does in court. Uses a special little doohickey to project the emotions in people's words onto a screen or something.
[ he did not have a great view of the mood matrix from his seat in the courtroom ]
Yeah, that's kinda similar to what she was doing, I think. That's interesting!
[ we're not giving dhurke a widget for an eye though so less useful in that regard ]
...Anyway! Dunno if this is permanent or not, but I was thinkin' maybe you could give me some pointers on how to use this thing! Like, y'know, how to not laser the things I try to read up close.
That... wasn't on purpose. I didn't even intend to do it...
[ He's so defeated, this really is a curse that's going to live with him forever.
That being said... how DOES he teach a person how to do this. He's had his eye for so long that it's practically second nature, except for the moments where he forgets an entire function entirely because the tutorial section of the game said so. ]
You don't have the wiring for it but I guess that's not important, since anything may as well happen here, so... assuming it's the same, it's just kind of a matter of... thinking about it, I guess? Like you're making a conscious thought to turn on the light, similar to how you can decide to consciously breathe.

[ Is this impressive (derogatory). It might be. He files this information about Reigen away. ]
That's good, but please be careful... that's exactly the reason why I never bothered really using that new function.
[ Does Datz get to do it from both eyes because he doesn't have AI-Ball lore, he's allowed. ]
no subject
[ no i'm keeping it limited to one because this man does not need dual lasers ]
no subject
Oh, uh... I have a prosthetic eye and it usually comes with some other visual stuff I can do. Not lasers.
[ His left eye ftr is grey. ]
no subject
Oooh, gotcha!
[ he's just. looking up a little too close at his eye now. ]
This is the one? It looks totally real!
no subject
U-uh, yeah. It functions like a real one too, so it's not like, just a glass eye or anything. I can actually see out of it.
no subject
Dang, that's really high tech! Wonder if that's just a your-world thing or if we've got something like that too.
no subject
Uhh... I wouldn't know, but it's not really... an open, accessible thing? At least, not yet.
You could say I got early access to especially modern technology.
It was for my job.

[ ABIS... the reality really is that he was the only one unhinged enough to actually get a perfectly good eye removed for this. ]
no subject
[ okok, have your personal space back... ]
We kinda know a few people in American law enforcement now, actually, wonder if they'd have the connections to get something like that...
[ note: ask yuty to ask that edgeworth guy if they have secret high tech police eyeballs ]
no subject
I don't know if they do. I work in a special department, it basically necessitated me having a prosthetic eye. Regular officers and detectives don't, even in my city.

no subject
[ let dhurke have an AI-ball!!! ]
What kinda department are you in anyway? Don't think I ever really asked about that.
no subject
It's a private sector called ABIS. Details are confidential unless you're involved in a case, so I can't tell you a lot about it, but...
[ He likes Datz a lot sooo... ]
It's kind of like, psychological forensics, taken to the next step.
no subject
[ he did not have a great view of the mood matrix from his seat in the courtroom ]
no subject
[ So Datz's justice system also uses doohickeys... ]
I guess it's kind of like that. We look into people's hearts... their minds, to find out the truth.
no subject
Yeah, that's kinda similar to what she was doing, I think. That's interesting!
[ we're not giving dhurke a widget for an eye though so less useful in that regard ]
...Anyway! Dunno if this is permanent or not, but I was thinkin' maybe you could give me some pointers on how to use this thing! Like, y'know, how to not laser the things I try to read up close.
And how to do the disco eye!!

no subject
Huh. All right, that seems simple enough, I guess. And that's how it works for... intensity or whatever too, huh?
no subject
The light part, not the laser part.
[ Please don't practice laser intensity on him. ]
no subject
[ attempts this...
the eye flashes! kind of faintly because he's very consciously aiming for Not Furniture Store Fire grade laser light here. ]
...Did it do it?
