Voice Testing (Post DD)

[turnsitabout]

If I can make a comeback, so can you. Just put on your best smile, and you'll be fine.

(This guy's from midway case 4, sob)

[The only warning to Simon's approach would be the soft jangle of his shackles' chain. Other than that, he's rather like a ninja.]

If you would suggest a smile to be your mun's weapon of choice, you have much to learn, Wright-dono. In order to survive in this world, one requires wit as sharp as a sword and perhaps a sword as sharp as their wit to match.

(Poor baby face!) [1/2]

[turnsitabout]

Agh!!

[turnsitabout]

....Prosecutor Blackquill. [ Did he really have to sneak up on me like that?! ]

That happens to be the advice I give to everyone in the Wright Anything Agency, and I'd say we're doing pretty well with it.

[jailbirdprosecutor]

Luck is a powerful ally, as it can protect even the most foolhardy of men from certain disaster. However, it will not last forever. I would advise you to adopt a more reliable strategy before it costs you your head.

[He pauses for a moment, placing a hand against his chin.] ... That said, I do not believe there is anyone in this world or the next who is blessed with more luck than you.

[turnsitabout]

[ That sounds like a compliment, but definitely feels like an insult. ]

I'll admit that I've been lucky, but if you think that's all I rely on, you've misjudged me.

[jailbirdprosecutor]

[It was more like a sandwich of compliment bread with insult slapped inbetween. Simon prides himself in twisting words and intent like that.]

Hmph. We shall see whether these supposed weapons are as brittle as your words.

There is no mercy in a court of law, nor is there any mercy in this forsaken haunt. Be forewarned that the test of voice may only be the calm before the storm, for muns are known to be creatures of whim.

[turnsitabout]

I think you'll be surprised by what I can do as well as what can happen in the courtroom when the search for truth is the most important thing.

And my mun and I go back to a few years ago. I trust her not to humiliate me..er..too much at least. She says she just needs to get used to my "cooler" self...whatever that means. [ Haven't I always been cool? ]

[stagewright]

You've got that right, Daddy! As long as you have a smile on, you'll make the crowds go wild! It's a performer's best trick.

Why I am just seeing this now omg so sorry

[turnsitabout]

Exactly! [ I'm glad I can always count on Trucy to back me up.. ]

Thanks Trucy. You make a much better motivational speaker than I do.

Wow is this delayed but

[cykedfists]

That's right... We'll.... all be okay.

No it's fine!

[turnsitabout]

[ Athena…she's gone through so much… ]

As long as we stick together, everything will be okay for all of us. I promise.

I don't see many Phoenixes around, much less DD time : O

[cykedfists]

That's okay. The Dark Age of Law has been overturned and things have been set right. That's what matters of course.

[The whole point in becoming a lawyer was to save Simon and with him saved now... She could call it good, but it's grown on her and she likes helping people.]

My name is Athena Cykes and I'm fine!

There's not enough AA love in general :(

[turnsitabout]

There is still a lot of work that we need to do, but you're right, we've taken a great step foward thanks to lawyers like you and Apollo.

[ Looks like Apollo's motivational saying is really helping out. Trucy and Pearls are even saying it now. ]

There really isn't... Athena's getting another home since DS closed though so that should be fun

[cykedfists]

[It didn't take long for Athena to catch onto using it. Just like she used "In Justice we trust" until they found out about Bobby's true nature. She'll never use that line again.]

Well... I'm ready for the next case whenever you are.

Why hello there! =D

[lookprofessor]

Mr. Wright!

I'm sure you can do it!

[Hey there Nick. Have a cheerfully confident looking Luke.]

OH MY GOSH <3 (1/2)

[turnsitabout]

L-Luke!?

[turnsitabout]

[ It's been so long…and he hasn't aged at all! Keep it together Phoenix, strange things do happen here…and besides, it is really great to see him. ]

You know, I'm really lucky to have friends like you who believe in me.

Hellooo! I'm Bizzy and I'm jealous you picked a game I'm not in lol

[lookprofessor]

Well of course we'd believe in you. Without you and Miss Maya we never would've figured out the mysteries of Labyrinthia!

[To Luke's eyes Nick may look a smidgen older, but it doesn't jump out at him. Tilting his head as he thought, there wasn't too much he really thought was different...]

I like your vest. It's a nice shade of blue!

[Priorities.]

Oh no!! Jump over to Empatheias too! ; u ; And I'm Linds ♥

[turnsitabout]

We couldn't have done it without you and the Professor too, you know. You were very brave when we were in Labyrinthia.

[ Phoenix is absolutely beaming right now. Luke is just as kind and optimistic as he remembers. ]

Thanks! I thought I could use a little change in my wardrobe!

Hi Linds! I can't do a game with an AC...I do Genessia because it's app and AC free!!

[lookprofessor]

Only because I had the Professor, too.

[Optimistic yes. But there is a touch of realistic in his tone, too--a change, small, but there.]

It looks...

[He tilts his head the other way, with one hand under his chin--a bit of a mimic of Layton, sure, because he's still Layton's apprentice and also a kid and emulating idols is something kids do.]

Um. It looks very sophisticated. Even more dressed up than just a suit, I mean.

[And then he pokes his hat.]

A proper gentleman should wear a hat, though.

a little yellow bird told me you're looking at empatheias! owo

[shacklebreaker]

Why tarry with such a bothersome mundane? Your encouragement is wasted; once they grow bored of you, they will only kick you to the curb again like so much blue-suited rubbish. Mundanes are skilled in little else.

Yes!! :)

[turnsitabout]

[ Geeze, thanks for the support. ]

We've been together for quite awhile now, so I don't she'd do that. [ I mean it has been four years since we've partnered up... ]

I'd love to play with a phoenix, if you do decide to apply!

[shacklebreaker]

And in all that time she hasn't grown tired of you and your antics, Wright-dono? Impressive.

I will apply! It'll be great to interact with Blackquill and Athena!

[turnsitabout]

She's the one who gets me into trouble!

And besides, even if we butt heads sometimes, we're a team. Like defense attorneys and prosecutors.

awesome! we might be getting a Fulbright too

[shacklebreaker]

Are you certain it it not you who draws trouble to yourself? [Like defending orcas in court. And cross-examining them. Seriously, what kind of "comeback" was that?]

That is all very touching, but defence attorneys and prosecutors are not partners. We are foes, destined to cross blades in the courtroom's battlefield.
