In the name of my spiky hair and pointy finger I will punish you! – Let’s play Phoenix Wright

Phoenix: …


”I-I’m sorry!”

"I didn’t mean to trouble you…”

Phoenix: No, it’s okay. It’s true, I guess.
Feenie, confidence is key! Prove her wrong! Or at least we have to do something.

Phoenix: But… at the same time, I can’t just sit and watch! When I think of the person who did this to Mia…


”…”

Let’s ask her about herself…

Phoenix: There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you… What’s with that outfit?


”This is what all acolytes wear. It’s my uniform, you could say.”

Phoenix: A-acolytes? Like people in religious training? What is it you do?


"Oh! It’s nothing strange, really!"

"I’m a spirit medium.”
Oh! That’s neat, I guess. Whatever that is.


”… In training.”
Oh…

Phoenix: A s-spirit medium? (I’m pretty sure that qualifies as strange.)
That’s relatively, Feenie. I didn’t react on her clothes at all, being used to Japanese and games and whatnot.

…but isn’t this an attorney game? What the heck will a spirit medium have to say in this game?

Anyway, we ask her some more about spirit mediums.

Phoenix: So you’re an acolyte. A, er, medium-in-training.


”That’s right. The Fey family, especially the women, have always been very sensitive to the spirit world."
Hah, because of the DA LP I instantly got a bad feeling.

Phoenix: Wait a second, you said the “Fey Family”? So, Mia was into this stuff too?


"Of course! She left the mountain to "follow her career," she said.”

”Her powers were first-class, too!”

Phoenix: (I… I had no idea.)
It’s weird, I agree. Usually I get a picture of people like, well, Maya, when it’s about spirit and mediums and shit. I would never think Mia had anything to do with stuff like that. Considering how much bullshits that's connected to that, you kind of lose a bit of respect for her? She's still awesome, nothing could change that, but at the same time...

Phoenix: Wait…! So you’re a real, honest-to-goodness spirit medium? With E.S.P. and all that?


"Yes. … In training."

Phoenix: Well, can’t you contact Mia’s spirit, then? We can just ask her who killed her!


”I-I’m sorry… I’m still in training. I couldn’t do something on that level…"

Phoenix: (Hmm… I thought that would be too easy.)
My thoughts exactly.

Now, could you talk about the day of the murder…


”Let’s see… that morning, I got a call from my sister. She wanted me to hold onto a piece of evidence for an upcoming trial. That clock shaped like “The Thinker.”
It sure is making it’s rounds.

Phoenix: How could that have been evidence in a case?


”Um, right, she said something about that…”

”…”

”I remember!”

”Do you want to hear it in her own voice? I’m pretty sure out conversation is on my cell phone."

Phoenix: You recorded it!


"Yeah! I forgot how to delete those things.”


Phoenix: Let’s hear it!


”Right! Oh!”

”I just remembered: that detective took my cell phone. Sorry.”

Phoenix: Oh, right. (Of course…) Next time I see detective Gumshoe I’ll ask him for it.


”I’ll write you a note so you don’t forget, okay?”


Maya’s Memo added to the Court Record.


"… Um…!"

Phoenix: Huh? Something the matter?


”Um… I was wondering, could I ask you for a favor? This is the address of a famous lawyer. My sister gave me this a long time ago. She said if I was ever in trouble, I should call him.”

”And, well, I’m in trouble. Do you think you could go ask him to represent me?"
Well, since you don’t want us as your lawyer, at least we can get you one.


”Thank you so much!”

"I have no one else to turn to…”

Phoenix: …? Say, what about your parents?


”…”

…


”…”

…


”…”

Phoenix: I… I see. Don’t worry, leave it to me.


”Thank you! The trial’s tomorrow… at 10:00.”

Phoenix: W-what!? Tomorrow!? What if this guy refuses!?


”They told me that if I don’t find one, the state will pick an attorney to defend me.»

Phoenix: When will that happen?


”They’re giving me until 4:00 this afternoon.”

Phoenix: (And visiting hours are almost up… I’d better hurry!) Right, I’ll be right back!

Posthumous burn. Thanks, Mia XD

Mediums, huh? That's... one way to become a lawyer, certainly.

Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence, Mia.

Anyway, I love the Phoenix Wright games and will definitely be watching this closely. I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to the courtroom insanity that happens throughout the game (Or games, if you decide to do the rest).

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying this!

I'm still not sure, I really want to do all of them but I certainly won't be making a fuss if someone else picks one up for a LP :)

I would still do my own LP.

Aw, Maya is adorable :3

Sir Gumshoe has finally arrived! That means he is near also. This case is very fun <3

"Plus, I basically just have him dust the office while wearing a maid's uniform, so you might want to wait until I've actually started teaching him law. I'll probably get around to it in a few years." Poor Phoenix: lawyerblocked! From beyond the grave!

But yay, Gumshoe! Already exhibiting the stellar deductive capacity which will characterize the police force throughout this entire series, I see.

Oh, I noticed as I was about to leave that “The day of the crime” box haven’t been checked, so I’ll just go through that one before, making it the last update today (from my POV).



Phoenix: Could you tell me about the day of the murder? Sorry… I know it must be hard.
"No, it’s okay. All I’ve been doing the last few hours is talking about it. I’ve kind of gotten used to it…”

“Let’s see… that morning, I got a call from my sister. She wanted me to hold on to a piece of evidence for an upcoming trial.

Phoenix: (That’s "The Thinker" clock that Larry made. It practically qualifies as a serial murderer by now.)
/hollow laughter

Phoenix: So then, when did you arrive at the office?

“It was around 9:00.”


“The lights were off and… I could smell blood.”


“Th-then I found her. My sister…”

Phoenix: Thanks, Maya. That’s all I need to hear for now.

Not so! Mia's breasts improve ANY image.

...I'm pretty sure this is my first post. I should probably be ashamed of myself.

Welcome to the forum :D


Feelreallyhonoredyoumadeyourfirstpostinherebrbdyingofhappiness

Welcome to the Forum! I'm pretty sure my first post was ranting about how great it was to mix Hakuoki with old style RPGs. We all have our points of fascination XD

Indeed. Mine ended up being about romance in Pokemon games...

Anyway, as a relatively new person myself, I'd definitely like to welcome you to the forums, lilychick!

Awww, thanks for all the welcomes! :-D

I've been lurking on and off for a while, but I couldn't resist finally posting because I absolutely love the AA series; they're my favorite games. I'm really enjoying the LP so far, Amaranthine!

Soooo... I was thinking of starting an LP on the Phoenix Wright games but as i'm searching the forum i found this LP. After getting permission from Amaranthine, who said that life is keeping her busy at the moment, i will attempt to continue this LP from the point she left off. Today i'm starting the game and as soon as i reach the part she stopped at i will be updating this thread with my own gameplay. I am playing the game blind and for that reason i haven't read the first 5 pages of this LP. Everyone is free to comment on further steps of the game with the request that you apply the spoiler tags when needed :D

EDIT: read the first 5 pages but ignored everything tagged as spoilers.

Excellent. I definitely approve and I'm glad Amaranthine does too. I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the game!

Yes! A Pheonix Wright Game! Have all of my loves and kisses!

I'll be looking forward to see how this goes!

Ok sorry it took so long to update. Between my post from last night, when i started the game (i started it around 1am) and my easily distracted nature (i blame all the threads i have on watch that kept giving me alerts! >.>) and watching Arakawa under the bridge and taking a 4h nap and going to work, i finally got caught up to the game.

After the conversation with Maya we can't do anything (well we can randomly decide to investigate or show Maya the Court Record but there is nothing to be gained) besides leaving to either the Fey & Co. Law Offices (where the murder took place) or the Grossberg Law Office (the lawyer Maya asked us to contact). From this point on all my personal comments will be in ITALIC just to try and prevent confusion from what the ingame replies are and what my comments are :) If you guys prefer it some other way let me know!



So i chose to go see the lawyer Maya asked me to contact and:



... What can possibly be more important when Maya needs you!? Don't worry Maya! I'll be your lawyer <3

So since fancy pants wasn't at his office i decide to go to back to Mia's office and try to find something useful.



... Figures it's full of cops. How am i supposed to nap find clues with them around.



(Oh @#$% one of them saw me... so much for my casual undetectedness)
Hmm are you addressing me by any chance?

This is a crime scene, pal! No trespassing!

Well pal this is also MY office if you don't mind! How long are you going to hog it? (shhh i know it's Mia's office... (/sob) but i work here too dammit!)... Wait i know you!!! AND YOU KNOW ME!

Umm... Sorry, don't i know you from somewhere?

We met last night... i kinda got the vibe that you were an idiot very busy man though so no surprise you don't remember me but if you'd check the front page of every newspaper you probably would recognize me!


Wait, you're that Butz guy, aren't you.

.... You sir are a moron... I AM HIS LAWYER DAMMIT!!!! You know the genius that proved Larry Butz's innocence AND did your job by finding the real culprit all in the same court session???

Phoenix: No, no, Phoenix Wright. (How could anyone mistake me for Larry!?)

Ah, guess i got the wrong name, Mr. Wright. Sorry 'bout that.

That's okay i can read the sheer incompetence in that dumb look on your face and i hope i don't have to deal with your stupidity very often! Yes yes honest mistake n.n

That Butz guy, he was a killer! And you're no killer! Right?

.... Since you're a cop and all do you happen to have a gun? Oh you do? How awesome! Have you ever tried to look through the end the bullet comes out as you shoot? No? You should totally try it right now! I promise you will have the most enlightening experience ever!

Phoenix: (He WAS proven innocent...)



... How am i supposed to remember an insignificant piece of garbage like you?

Phoenix: Um... Gumtree, was it? Detective Gumtree?

G-Gumtree...?

Yes that's what i said... but i didn't stutter.

Gum doesn't grow on trees, pal!

... We DEFINITELY are not pals God if you exist please take him to your side! What not even you could put up with his severe incompetence? Understandable...

And I'm the one in charge here so don't push your luck!

YOU are the one in charge? @#$%!! How does an idiot like you get to be in charge :c

Phoenix: (Whatever you say, Detective...)

Anyway, get the name right.

Well aren't you jolly go happy. You really got over that one fast...

And don't go calling me "Dick"...

Ok Dic... I mean.. uhm... Mushroom! Detective Mushroom! Mhm mhm that's what i'll call you from now on n.n (hopefully i never meet you again after i get outta this office!)

Police: Hey, Dick! Get over here!

Woah!!!!! THANK YOU SCORPION!!

Y-Yes, sir! B-Be right there!



BwahahahahahHAHhauaha... now that's what i call PAWNED!!!!

Ummm... ahem!

Weren't you supposed to make like a magic trick and disappear?

You're her lawyer, right, pal?

You shall address her as Miss Fey! ... And yes i am her lawyer what about it?

If you got business here, you'd better do it quick!

Phoenix: (Whew! He thinks I'm Maya's lawyer...!)

... We ARE her lawyer... WTH don't tell me you're catching his stupidity??? ... Wait... Maya still wants fancy pants as her lawyer @#$%... WHYYYYY!??? Maya I am so much better then whoever you wanted me to talk to!!

T.T

And he's finally done barking...



NOW! How about you answer some of my questions Detective Mushroom!



Let's see what you found on Mia ( not much probably since i pocketed the most important evidence muaahahahahHAHAHAHaahahah)

Phoenix: About Ms. Fey... did you do an autopsy?

OH GOD! Please tell me he wasn't in charge of the autopsy also...




Hmm? You want to know the results, eh?

I wonder what gave you that idea...

Phoenix: ...

Feenie you read my mind <3

Now don't you look at me like that, pal!

Oh i'm sorry is my frustration, caused by your incompetence and your dumb questions in this VERY serious situation, showing?

It's no use!

I know, i know... there is no use in trying to reason with you... so about that gun trick i told you about?

She might have been your boss, but that doesn't mean you get any special treatment.

... You know i AM the defense attorney... i have the right BY LAW to see the autopsy report... idiot

Alright, alright. You can see the report, but that's all!

Glad my kind words got through to you <3



Little did he know that Feenie's eyes are like a xerox and instantly made me a copy of the report. That's why i love you Feenie <3 Now let's see what Detective Mushroom says about Maya... You better watch your mouth!

Phoenix: Um, about Maya...

Yeah I'm looking forward to the trial!

Well with that asthma attack you're having let's just hope you don't make it to the trial n.n

Sorry, pal, but this is one trial you aren't going to win!

Well what a coincidence i think you are a moron a great Detective also! n.n

Phoenix: W-Why do you say that?

The city's put Prosecutor Edgeworth on the prosecution!

.... Who?

Phoenix: (Edgeworth...)

Oh Feenie do you know him? o.o

I'm sure you know what that means, you being a lawyer and all.

... Of course Feenie knows! Right Feenie? Riiiiight? :c



Phoenix: Prosecutor Edgeworth...

That's right, pal! Mr. Miles Edgeworth himself!



.... Don't look at me Feenie... I'm not Mia... No... i won't help you cheat Feenie! WHY??? Those puppy eyes... i can't resist... Fine Feenie you win T.T



Oh now you remember Feenie... What? It says he's a gifted prosecutor and you're getting worried? ... Feenie you are not gifted like him... YOU ARE A BORN NATURAL GENIUS! Now you tell Mushroom off for trying to insinuate that you don't do your homework even though i do it for you Q_Q

Phoenix: I know him. He's a feared prosecutor. He doesn't feel pain, he doesn't feel remorse. He won't stop until he gets his "guilty" verdict.

Aww, don't talk about him that way. You make him barely sounds human!

Still, I'm afraid this pretty much decides the case.

... I'm sorry your boyfriend's not human? Of course it decides the case... Feenie will win just to embarrass your boyfriend and make you die of an asthma attack n.n

Phoenix: (So, Edgeworth is on this one... He hasn't lost a case since he became prosecutor at the incredibly young age of 20. Of course, there are rumors of back-alley deals and forged evidence... All i know for sure is that Edgeworth hates crime with an almost abnormal passion. I never imagined I'd be facing him so soon...)

Feenie... you're not really scared are you? :c He's a cheater... They don't last! Not against TRUE JUSTICE <3

It's okay, he grows on you.
Like a really stupid puppy.

No.... Tell me it's not true... I don't meet him again after i leave this office do i? Wait... no i don't even want to know Q____Q

Ok Feenie let's read that autopsy report!



Hey Feenie i have the feeling we're forgetting something...

... Feenie!!! She even wrote you a note about it. Let's ask Mushroom about her phone!



Phoenix: I was wondering... did you see Maya Fey's phone?



Phoenix: Do you think you can give it back?

Sure! I mean, wait a second, pal!

Gah and it almost worked! It was a good try Feenie :3

Tricky lawyer!

Hey! It's not Feenie's fault you're incompetent!!!



Pssst Feenie! Do this.... "LIE LIKE A DOG" n.n

Phoenix: (Okay, I can't be straight with this guy... but what should i tell him?)

Feenie... you're the brilliant lawyer here not me :c

Something the matter?

Hey Mushroom can't you see we're having a strategic meeting over here? >.>

Phoenix: Oh, no, um... T-that carrying strap on the cellphone...

This? Hmm... it says "The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo"... "The Steel Samurai"... that action hero on TV?

Neo Olde Tokyo? Who comes up with this @#$%?

Phoenix: Yeah, you see that strap is a collector's item... She... was worried it might get lost if it went to the down precinct.

Oh Feenie you dog <3 Now let's hope he buys it... ... ... who am i kidding he's gonna buy it give it back to us for free and then buy it again :3

That what she said?

Phoenix: Um. Yes.

...

Ohoho there's that dumb look on his face again... OPEN UP THE CHAMPAGNE THIS ONE IS OURS!!! n.n

Ok, pal. I wrote down all the numbers she called anyway. Here you go.

Phoenix: (Seems he didn't notice the recorded conversation...)



Are you REALLY surprised by that Feenie? n.n

Phoenix: (I guess I've asked all the questions I need to.)

Oh is that our cue to get outta here? THANK GOD! Let's never meet this "Detective" again Feenie <3

Yay, he is almost here! I love these games but I never got to play them myself even though I've seen friends play them.

Nightshift, you're trash talking one of my favorite characters every panel! :c Poor bby~~~ -cuddles Gumshoe-

Maybe i'm doing it so you have an excuse to comfort him <3 He was asking for it anyway... not remembering someone as awesome as Feenie and trying to give my Feenie crap... I'll try to like him more... if his IQ gets over 0 :3

Feenie! I got yelled at for being mean to Mushroom Gumshoe :c Maybe i should give him a chance... detective Mush Gumshoe i'm sorry i was mean... i know you are a great detective. I hope you can forgive my harsh words and we can be friends n.n

Now let's go Feenie! Let's see if fancy pants is back at his office ye....

You all done, pal?

Yes Detective Gumshoe we are done. If you'll excuse us we need to see a lawyer... (That sounds bad on our part Feenie!)

Phoenix: Um, yes, thank you. I'll be heading out now.

Oh, wait. One more thing i wanted to mention to you. I don't suppose you're planning on talking to that witness. Anyway, you'd better not!

Look i already said i'm sorry so don't think that... Say what?

No influencing the witness with your lawyer ways, pal!

... i totally forgot about the witness... that pink chick? (She looked freaky Feenie!)

Phoenix: ...




... Feenie!!! It's ok for me to forget but you HAVE to remember these things :c

Phoenix: The... witness?


Yeah, Miss April May.

Miss April May... Is her middle name June by any chance?

I'm sorry 'bout this... But i can't tell you anything about her!

... Aww that's oki detective <3 I know, i know it's police business and you can't disclose any information on her so i won't be upset i promise n.n

Phoenix: (Well, you just told me her name. Miss May, huh??)

... Feenie NO! No more teasing detective Gumshoe! Bad Feenie! You should be thanking him you know? He did that on purpose to help you because he actually likes us <3

Phoenix: So you've sent her home already, then?

... Feenie don't push it :c

Ahah! You're trying your lawyerly tricks on me now! She's not to go outside her room until the trial!

See Feenie? He's on to you (I have to admit i'm genuinely impressed that he noticed that)

Phoenix: (So... she's still in the hotel across the way.)

OHHHHHH she's not to leave her HOTEL ROOM... well @#$% now i feel stupid i thought we'd have to search the damn town to find her.

Phoenix: I guess i should know better than to try and get a detective to leak information.

You got that right, pal!

Phoenix: (Time to pay a visit to Miss May!)

Feenie... my trolling is rubbing off on you :c That's not good! I'm trying to be being nice from now on!



Feenie said we should see the witness soooooo... We're going to Gatewater Hotel.



... Lady opening the door in your pajamas and posing as a cat won't bewitch my Feenie! Isn't that right Feenie?

Phoenix: Ummm... hi (Smooth, Wright, real smooth.)

Feenie... you disappoint me -.-

You're the lawyer, aren't you? The detective told me... He said, "Don't say nothing to that lawyer, pal" Tee Hee!

Phoenix: (Memo to self: Thank Detective Gumshoe for making my job harder.)

He told you about the witness you FORGOT about... I'd say he did you a favor -.-

Gee! This is all like something out of a movie! It's all so exciting I can hardly contain myself! Ooh! Let me go freshen up so I can look the part of the beautiful eye witness!

Phoenix: (I pity the lawyer that has to cross-examine this one.)

I pity you too Feenie... Why? Because WE are going to be Maya's lawyer!



And she's out of our way... i think. Feenie? Shall we check her room out?

Phoenix:A bottle and two glasses are on the table. Somebody must be staying with her.

Phoenix: A simple bed. It's been recently made. Nothing eye-catching here.

Phoenix: The flowers are fake as expected. I know sunflower and tulips, but that's about the extent of my floral knowledge.

Phoenix: The late summer sunlight streams through the window. There's the Fey & Co. Law Offices building, of course. You can see the inside of the room pretty clearly from here. I think it would be a little difficult to recognize a face from this distance, though.

Phoenix:(There's a screwdriver stuck in this drawer. I wonder what's inside? Let's take a look...)

Hmm now that's interesting. What's in it Feenie?

Hey! H-h-hey!!! What are you doing!? No touching! Oooh, Bad boy!

HOLY @#$% she was in the drawer??? AND WHAT WERE YOU TOUCHING FEENIE???

Y-you really shouldn't pry around in other people's rooms, now. You wouldn't want to make me upset, would you?

Phoenix:(Upset!? I thought she was going to explode for a second there! I wonder what could be inside the drawer?)

Oh thank God she just heard you prying through her drawer. I guess i misunderstood things a bit... But yeah... what could she have in there? Let's ask her some questions Feenie!

So lady who exactly are you?

Phoenix: Um, could you... just who exactly are you?

Oooh, Mr. Lawyer! Are you hitting on me?

.... IN YOUR DREAMS UGLY BARBIE!!! Feenie does not give a damn about you! n.n

Phoenix: N-n-no! Hey! I'm just doing my job here!


Tee hee! You know, you're cute when you blush.

Phoenix: (Believe me, this is the first time in my life I've blushed so much...)

I was wrong -.- Stuttering? Blushing? Feenie i had no clue your type is ditsy, flirty Barbie Q_Q

Phoenix: Um... eh heh. Right... can you just tell me what it is you do?

Well... No! Tee hee! And you had your little hopes up, didn't you!

Phoenix: (Oh boy.)

She's toying with you Feenie! :c Let's just ask her what she saw!

What did you ACTUALLY see since you didn't start yelling until Feenie picked up the phone for some reason...

Phoenix: Do you think you could tell me something? I need you to describe what you observed at the time of the incident.

Ooh. "Observe", "incident"! You sound just like a lawyer in a movies!

... She's playing dumb Feenie!

I like a man with a big... vocabulary.

Well i'll be damned she's trying to seduce you now!? Don't let her pajamas cloud your thinking Feenie!

Phoenix: (Umm... *gulp* Better not encourage her.)

Proud of you Feenie <3

Phoenix: Er... you know that thing that occur... um... happened the other day? The bad thing? What did you see when it happened? I don't suppose you could tell me about it? Pretty please?

...I take that back... Why are you stuttering and talking like your brain is sleeping? -.- You know she's not stupid!

Let me see.... Um, well... Dream on! If you want to know you'll just have to come to the court tomorrow, Mr. Lawyer!

Phoenix: (Oh boy.)

She's definitely not stupid and she's definitely got something to hide Feenie! I bet whatever's in that drawer would make our case!

Ask her something else Feenie! Maybe we can get at least one clue out of her.

Phoenix: I see there are two glasses on the table. Is someone staying here with you?

Oooh! What amazing powers of observation! You must be one of those famous detective, like on television!

Can i hate her? Pleeeeeeeeaaaaasssseee?

Phoenix: Oh, no, not me, I'm, er, just a lawyer!

Say, Mr. Big Detective, why don't you go look for clues... in the garbage? Hmm? Miss May doesn't like nosy little lawyers... Hmph!

OH THAT'S IT! I DON'T CARE I HATE THIS @#$%^!!!!! I hope i get to harass her in court and make her look dumber then she's pretending to be!

Phoenix: (Oh boy.)

Let's go Feenie before i punch her in the throat -.- She won't let us look in that drawer so we should just go see if fancy pants is back yet.

*Sigh* Maybe we should just take a nap on his fancy couch over there... We HAVE to talk to him since we promised Maya we will.

Phoenix: (Well, maybe I should just wait here for him to come back.)

Aww Feenie we think the same <3 .... Sometimes. HMPH!!!! -.-

???: *Ah-HHHHEM!*

Phoenix: (If that wasn't the most over-the-top clearing of the throat I've ever heard!)

Ah hah! So, you're the one they say has been looking for me?

Phoenix: Uh... y-yes, that's me! (He looks even... grander then I imagined!)

Bwahaahhaahahaahaha!! Thank you Feenie <3 I was going to say something but... MUST BEHAVE n.n

Hmm...? that badge on your collar...? Ah, so you're a lawyer, are you now?

Yes isn't it shiny? n.n Oh... is that what it means?

Phoenix: Y-yes, well... yes.

And what do you want? I'm not particularly busy these days... Please, proceed!

Not busy? Then where were you all day? Was there a line at BK? Or better yet were YOU the line at BK? ... MUST BEHAVE!

Phoenix: (Not busy...? Then how come no one could get in touch with you?)

Hmm? Something the matter? You came to see the one-and-only Marvin Grossberg, did you not? Well, here i am, boy! What do you want? Out with it!

Phoenix: Um... w-well, sir, actually, it's about Maya. Maya Fey.

...! Ah... yes. Maya Fey. Go on.

Phoenix: (Hmm? Why the strange reaction?)

A-cha-cha. I'm really quite busy here, son. I can't take cases on a day's notice! No, it's quite impossible.

What the @#$%? I thought you weren't particularly busy these days -.-

Phoenix: W-wait a second! How did you know the trial was tomorrow?

Hey that's right! How DID you know? I sure as hell didn't >.>

Urk? Ahem! A-anyway... I'm afraid it's entirely impossible for me to represent her. Sorry. End of discussion.

Phoenix: (What's going on!? He refused me before I even got a chance to ask him! What do i tell Maya...?)

What is your problem dude? Why won't you help Maya? Feenie let's ask him some questions... he seems suspicious!



Phoenix: How can you just refuse like that! Please, tell me why you won't take the case?

Hmm? Eh, ahem! Well, you see it's just... I'm busy, you see?

Busy doing what? Shading the Earth with your body? MUST BEHAAAAAAAVE!!

Phoenix: But the client is Mia Fey's sister! Mia trusted you... She knew her sister would be in good hands.

Hmm... ahem. Yes, yes, of course I know that. However! I'm sorry but, I must refuse! Sorry. Good-bye!

Phoenix: Creep. Fine. I don't have time to argue with you anyway. I'll go look elsewhere.

You tell him Feenie! And go look in a mirror you'll see Maya's lawyer <3

*grumble*... Think not.

Phoenix: Huh? Did you say something?

I think not, i said.

Phoenix: Wh-what do you mean?

I'm terribly, terribly sorry. But i'm afraid that no lawyer worth their salt will take on this particular case. Terribly sorry, m'boy.

Phoenix: Why!?

I... I cannot say... I beg your pardon, but could you leave? Now? I have nothing more to discuss with you.

Now if i hadn't seen the killer i'd think you did it... even though it's hard to imagine you belly flopping towards Mia to kill her... MUST BEHAVE!!!!!!!

Phoenix: (What's going on here!?)

Quick Feenie change the topic talk about that ugly painting behind him! Say it's awesome or something... Keep him talking.

Phoenix: That's... quite a painting.

Ahah! You noticed! It's my pride and joy! Impressive, isn't it? Well? ISN'T IT? The color of the sky! The hue of the sea! The weave of the straw hat! It's worth at least three million. I have no intention of parting with it, of course. No, I won't sell it! Not even to you!

Phoenix: (I wasn't interested...)

It's not for sale!

Phoenix: I'm not buying! (Geez)

Ok now that he's calmer ask about Mia!

Phoenix: How did you know Mia Fey...?

... She... worked here. A long time ago. Quite the apprentice, that one. Learned my techniques in a blink of an eye! She left one day, quite suddenly... She had a mission, you see.

Phoenix: A "mission"?

You could see it in her eyes. She followed it with a burning passion. Never looked back, that one.

So we found out nothing :c Feenie let's go give Maya the good news! What good news? Fancy pants declined so WE will be her lawyer n.n

I am liking your snarky inner commentary, too bad your protag is the universe's kicking bag, this is an Ace Atterney game afterall.

Maya you look... GAAAAAAAH /sob

Oh! You're back! Did you find the lawyer?

Phoenix: Um... well... (What do I tell her?). Well, see... (Just be honest!) I... I really don't think you should use that guy. He... didn't seem healthy. He was all skin and bones!

Bwahahahahaahah i can't believe i'm laughing in this situation... I'm sorry Maya!!! :c

... What really happened? You don't mean... He refused to help?

Phoenix: ... Urp.

I see. I've been abandoned, then.

Noooo Maya you haven't been abandoned! Feenie talk to her!



Phoenix: What about your family?

I only had my sister. My father died when i was very young. And i don't know where my mother is.

/hugs Maya Nooooooo why you doing this to me /sob

Phoenix: (Don't know...? So she could still be alive?)



Then we can try to find her Maya! Tell me about your mother.

The women in my family have been mediums for generations. They say that E.S.P. runs in our blood. About fifteen years ago, our family was involved in an... incident. There was a man, and he... he... He ruined our mother's life.

Phoenix: ("Ruined"...?)

After that, she disappeared. Several years after that, my sister announced she would "become a lawyer" and she left the mountain.

Phoenix: ... So, you live by yourself?

Yes. I've gotten used to it. Oh, also... I had to become independent or I would lose my E.S.P.

Phoenix: (I feel bad for her, all by herself up on that mountain...)



Mayaaaaaa T_T


Phoenix: So, who was this man who, um, "ruined" your mother?

About 15 years ago... there was an unusual murder case. It made quite a stir, everyone was talking about it, apparently. The police were running out of leads, and they were getting desperate...

Phoenix: Wait... they didn't use a spirit medium, did they?

The police convinced my mother to try to contact the victim.

Phoenix: Wow... So, what happened?

The case was solved... we thought.

Phoenix: You "thought"...?

The man my mother helped capture was innocent. The police's consultation with a medium had all been carried in secret, of course. But... A man found out about it and leaked it to the press. He told all the papers that my mother was a fraud, and the media jumped on it big time. She... my mother... became the laughing stock of the nation.

Phoenix: I see.

... White

Phoenix: Excuse me? White?

That was his name. My sister told me.

Phoenix: White? Hmm...

Just a little longer now before the state-appointed lawyer comes, I guess...

Phoenix: (4:00 PM. Time's up. What should i do?)



I can't believe there's even a shred of doubt in your mind Feenie!!! WE are going to defend Maya!!! n.n

Phoenix: I've made up my mind! I'm going to defend you whether you want me to or not!

! Why?



Well... you are a "bit" strange and just looking at you makes me cry knowing what you've been/are going through... REGARDLESS we can not abandon you! <3 Right Feenie?

Phoenix: ...(No one is as sad as a person without friends.I know... I've been there. A long time ago.)



Feenie? ;_; You wanna break my heart also?

Phoenix: ...(Why did i become a lawyer in the first place...?)

Aww don't be silly... you became a lawyer because you knew Larry was gonna need one! n.n

Phoenix: ...(Because someone has to look out for the people who have no one on their side.)

Oh... or that... WAIT... do you plan on getting paid? Cuz i don't feel like starving >.>

Phoenix: Maya... I won't abandon you. You can count on me.

... That's so kind of you...

Maya... could it be? You don't have faith in us? T_T

*sniff*...

No... Maya you need to be happy now... you're making me sad :c

Phoenix: Well! Let's fight this one and get you out of here!

R-right! Thank you!

Yay!!!! She finally smiles :3 You did it Feenie <3

Phoenix: (Whew, she smiled at last. She looks like an entirely different person!)

Feenie we are sooooo alike... which makes me sad cuz you seem to have no backbone :c But my trolling is rubbing of on you so maybe we'll get you a backbone also <3

Phoenix: One last question... You are innocent, right?

... Feenie did you really need to ask that? Of course she's innocent! Does she look like someone who would kill? ... don't answer that i know she looks weird >.>

Yes! And i trust you... So you trust me, too, okay?

Phoenix: It's a deal!

Awwwwwww <333
CPhoenix: (So, what next... There's something that's been bugging me...)



Phoenix: (It was when I tried to look into the drawer that she got all defensive. There has to be something in there!)

Well how about we give it another try? Let's go see if we can find out what's in that drawer! OH! wait before we do that... we got Maya's phone... we never checked that voicemail!







This will definitely help us in court! We should tell Maya n.n

Phoenix: Hey, i got your phone back.

Oh, say... Can i listen to my sister's voice?

.... @#$%

Phoenix: (Maya's eyes closed... She listened to every word with such intensity... Before long tears began to roll down her cheeks.)

OMG i'm so sorry Maya... please don't cry ;_;

Thank you.

GAH what have i done :c I'm sorry Maya!!! ;_; Let's go to that hotel again Feenie before i say something stupid and painful again T_T



Oh room service! Hi! There's these dumb blonde bimbo here in my room... any chance you can escort her out or something?




Phoenix: Excuse me, you are...?
It says Bellboy Feenie isn't that.... /facepalm That's right you can't see this @#$%

Ah, i beg your pardon, sir? I am the bellboy of this establishment, at your service, sir. I've just come up to deliver room service, sir.

So is that a no to escorting the blonde bimbo out?

Phoenix: Oh, right. Um... do you know where Miss May might be?

Oh yeah... come to think of it... she's not here... If only the bellboy would also be gone...

Ah, I believe our guest Miss May is currently using the, er, facilities...?

I somehow feel that you put emphasis on the fact that she's "our guest" just to insinuate that you know i don't belong here... that hurts me bellboy!

If you've no need of anything, I'll be taking my leave. Please stay as long as you like. Enjoy...

I take that back... you're clueless. Wait... enjoy? You gotta be kidding me.... @#$% NO!!!

Phoenix: Yeah... Wait... no! Hey! (Why does it seem like every time I come here, I end up embarrassing myself? Wait... now's my chance to snoop around bit!)

Ya think?

Ah, I almost forgot!

Phoenix: Gah! Y-you came back quick!

Might I ask you to inform Miss May that there is a message for her? Please tell her that Mr. White, of Bluecorp phoned.

Uh oh!!! White??? As in the guy who "ruined" Maya's mom? Is HE the killer??????

Phoenix: Oh, right.Sure.(Mr. White... of Bluecorp. Where have i heard that name?)

Really??? You don't remember? It was like 5 mins ago... Feenie you need to have way better memory for this job... i can't help you forever! :c



There you have it!!

Phoenix: ("White" was the name of the guy who ruined Maya and Mia's mother. Could it be a coincidence?)

From the @#$% that happened to us so far... i'm gonna say no it's not a coincidence... he's somehow related lol the murder!

NOTE: For Edgeworth/Judge i will have screenshots instead of sprites because i've been trying to find sprites for them and i don't like how they line up at all. I don't know how to edit them either so i would rather just post screenshots. If they have several lines in a row i will have a screenshot for the first line and then type the next ones like i do with Feenie's lines.

Ok so let's see what's in that drawer finally...



Phoenix: Now's my chance to see what's inside! ...! What do we have here!



Da @#$%??? Wait... so she was taping Mia's calls? OH! That's how the criminal knew about The Thinker... wait... so... SHE KILLED MIA??? But it didn't look like her when they showed us the crime... GAH if only you would have seen the crime with me Feenie :c

Phoenix: What would a woman like her be doing with a thing like this? There is definitely something suspicious about this "Miss May"! Why would she have something like this in the hotel room? There's a story behind all this, I know it! Alright... I'll be using this bit of evidence in tomorrow's trial, that's for sure. For Maya's sake... I'll get to this woman's bottom! Wait... I mean... you know what I mean!

... Feenie you do know that this would normally be considered theft for one but also unusable evidence right? You cannot use evidence that you didn't LEGALLY obtain... And you can't even prove you got it from her room to begin with... And what's with that choice of words? You do not want anything to do with her bottom!!!

April May: Oh, bellboy...? Still there?

Phoenix: (Uh oh, time to scram. I look forward to tangoing with you tomorrow, Miss May! In court!)



Uh oh... i guess that's about it for gathering info... Now on to the trial! Let's do this Feenie n.n



Hey i know you! Long time no see.... wait it's been like what 3 days? >.> Don't worry we'll be seeing each other a lot... (apparently... is he the only judge in the game?)



He looks fancy and all... Now see this is what i expected Grossberg to look like...



We ready yo' Honor... gonna ask us some stupid questions again like what the victim's name is? I might get emotional about it so i recommend you don't!

Phoenix: (Miles Edgeworth... I'd better not show any signs of weakness today, or he'll be on me in an instant)

Oh lord... i did not know he swings that way Feenie... Make sure you don't drop the... um... pencil?





Edgeworth: The prosecution has evidence she committed the murder... and we have a witness who saw her do it. The prosecution sees no reason to doubt the facts of this case, your Honor.

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty... You don't really have any concrete evidence you know?



Judge: Thank you, Mr Edgeworth. Let's begin then. You may call your first witness.



... Well isn't this a great start... Gumshoe we still buds right? :s

Edgeworth: Witness, please state your name and profession to the court.

Sir! My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir! I'm the detective in charge of homicides at the precinct, sir!



Edgeworth: Please describe for us the details of this murder.

Very well, sir! Let me use this floor map of the office to explain.

Gumshoe: The body was found by this window, here.

Edgeworth: And the cause of death?

Gumshoe: Loss of blood due to being struck by a blunt object, sir!

Gumshoe: The murder weapon was a statue of "The Thinker" found next to the body, sir!

It's not a statue... it's a clock... i hope the judge notices at least... i mean Gumshoe and Edgeworth have no clue but the judge should already knows this.





Phoenix: (They're still calling it a "statue"...)

I know right? The judge should have been like "kekeke i know something you don't know... that's a clock ;)"



And we got the floor plans... I wonder if we can use that to say that the pink bimbo couldn't actually see in the office..



Y-yes sir!

Edgeworth: You immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fay, who was found at the scene, correct? Can you tell me why?

Yes sir! I had hard evidence that she did it, sir!



Judge: Please testify to the court about this "hard evidence".

Did I miss something? Isn't his hard evidence just that she was there?

Oh right, that's a thing in the real world.
Bless your heart for playing this blind.

This is Gumshoe we're talking about here. We've seen he's one to... leap to conclusions. In this case, though, I think his "hard evidence" is the note written in blood that says "Maya." (It's been a while since I've played so I forgot whether that's actually the case)

I think he's referring to the note also since that's what he used as his excuse to arrest Maya that night even though both Feenie and Maya were there.

You really like Dr Who don't you? XD I guess it's hard to have a innocent until proven guilty with a guy who's "barely human" and forges evidence to win his cases according to the rumors Feenie heard. Next update tonight when i get back from work <3

As soon as the phone call came in, I rushed to the scene! There were two people there already: The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey, and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

I immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fey!






... She also saw Feenie? Does that mean we both killed her? Wait... Detective Gumshoe please don't answer that... i'd rather keep it to just defending Maya not myself as well!



Is the judge trying to tell us something in a very subtle way Feenie? Cuz i don't get it...

Judge: Very well. Mr Wright, you may begin your cross-examination.

Phoenix: Y-yes, Your Honor! (Cross-examine what...? I couldn't see a single contradiction in that testimony...)



(Bwahahahahaha Feenie i'm sorry i caught you nappin')



(And he wakes up :D)

Phoenix: (Hey! Maya just threw something at me...)

That's because she saw you nappin' Feenie! n.n It's her life you're dooming if you don't do this right!!!



Phoenix: ("When my sister couldn't find any contradictions in a witness's testimony she would bluff it and press the witness on every detail! The witness always slips up and says something wrong... It worked lots of times!" Heh... I should have expected Maya would know some of her sister's tricks! Alright let's give this a try!)

How did she know that if she was always in the mountains? Did her sister call her and be like "so today i pressed this one guy until he slipped and said he meant to shot someone else"? I mean... she definitely didn't mention this to Feenie... wasn't she supposed to teach him?

Judge: Something the matter?

Phoenix: No, Your Honor. I'd like to begin my cross-examination!



And like Maya told us we will press... sorry buddy you're gonna have to take one for the team... or the better good... or justice... or whatever makes you forgive me <3



Phoenix: Who did you say you got a call from?

Hey pal, don't play dumb! You know who! The call was from a customer at the Gatewater Hotel, right across from the crime scene!

Phoenix: (Hmm... Okay, I pressed. Not sure it did much, though.) Right. Please continue.

There were two people there already:

HOLD IT!!!!

Phoenix: Detective Gumshoe, how long would you say it took, between you receiving the call, and your arrival at the scene of the crime?

Hmm, right... I'd say it was about three minutes.

Phoenix: Th-that's pretty fast!

Our motto this month is "quick response"! That's how I got there before the killer got away!

Edgeworth: Indeed! So, tell us who the two people you found on the scene were.


Yes sir! The defendant, Ms Maya Fey, and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix Wright.


HOLD IT!!!!

Phoenix: Are you absolutely sure it was us?

Listen pal, your dumb act will only get you so far! With her funky hippie clothes and your spiky hair? You two stand out like... like suspicious people at a crime scene!

Bwaahahahahahaahahahah that was a good one Gummy <3 Fennie he got you on that one XD

Phoenix: (Well... he does have a point about her. She is pretty unmistakable. I should pick my points to press with a little more care...)

And Feenie completely ignores the attack at his own person... Good job Feenie never let them get to you <3

I immediately arrested Ms Maya Fey.

HOLD IT!!!!

Phoenix: Why's that? What's your reason?

Why? We had a witness account describing her!


HOLD IT!!!!

Phoenix: Hold on just one second!

Y-yeah!?

Phoenix: If I heard correctly... You said you arrested her because you had "hard evidence" she did it, correct?

Huh? Did... did I say that? Me?

Phoenix: I heard you say it.

Judge: You did say it.

Edgeworth: You said it.

Lmao everyone's ganging up on poor Gumshoe XD

Phoenix: Exactly what about this suspicious woman in pink's claim was "hard evidence"?

Wh-what!? Miss May isn't suspicious, and she sure isn't pink, pal!

She is pink Gummy :p

W-well, I guess she is pink...



Judge: Do you have any more solid proof other then her claims, Detective?

Umm...

Phoenix: (Hmm... I guess pressing can have it's advantages!)

... Yes. Sorry, I got the order of things mixed up in my testimony, Your Honor Sir!



Bwahahahaah Feenie sorry but everyone has to see this face you just made XD

There was something i should have told you about first, Your Honor!



After securing the suspect, I examined the scene of the crime with my own eyes.

I found a memo written on a piece of paper next to the victim's body!

On it the word "Maya" was written clearly in blood! Lab tests show that the blood was the victim's!

How do you know it was Mia who wrote it? Even if it was her blood...



Oh that's how... Mia T_T... Wait but that still doesn't mean it was her that wrote it...

Before she died, the victim wrote the killer's name! How do you like that? That's my "hard evidence"!

Now now Gummy don't jump to conclusions... Even if it was Mia writing it (which i doubt at this point because the conversation on the phone didn't really strike me as Maya being involved in this before the crime... unless the recorded message was what i was supposed to hear since Mia knew Maya records her calls? So she was pointing me at Maya for that reason?) maybe she wrote that as a message... Maybe protect Maya? Maybe take care of Maya? Lots of possibilities here man. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!!!



Judge: Before we begin cross-examination, I have a question for you, Detective.

Y-your Honor?



Eeeek judge laying the smack down on poor Gummy :c JUDGE!!! He doesn't know any better, he's a bit... slow... Please forgive him? <3

Ah... Eh... I know. I'm real embarrassed I forgot about it, Your Honor Sir!

Judge: Try to be more careful.

Woah he said he was sorry! He's already embarrassed... making him even more embarrassed is my job won't help!!!


Judge: Very well, the defense may begin the cross-examination.
