Re: the circumstances of your arrival

[myfingerpoints]

So, let me get this straight: My world has been destroyed along with my friends and family, I'm stuck in a tower forever, and on top of that, I wake up in a room with a raging fever?

Boy, things sure are looking up for me. I can't wait...

[ryuuzaki]

[A put-upon sigh.]

Wait until you taste your first meal. Although "taste" is overstating it seriously.

[myfingerpoints]

Oh, no. Don't tell me that's part of one those, uh, "experiments" I've been hearing about.

[ryuuzaki]

I'm not sure. It's plain porridge. You'll get sick if you try to eat anything else -- the porridge might be drugged.

The experiments appear to be more extensive than that, however.

[myfingerpoints]

...great, drugged porridge.

I'm almost afraid to ask. Is there anything you can tell me about them?

[riceballed]

That's terrible!! Would you like some medicine?! I-I think I still have some!

[myfingerpoints]

A-Ah, wait, no, you see... I'm not sick yet.

[riceballed]

...Huh?

Oh, you must only be feeling the starting symptoms right now! It's still important to nip an illness in the bud. If you don't take medicine, at least try to rest.

[Completely oblivious.]

[myfingerpoints]

I guess? I mean, thank you for your concern. Really, though, I feel fine! See? Ahaha... [Flexing arms, puffing out chest, nervous laughter......]

[morphballin]

Yeah, this place is a real barrel of laughs.

[myfingerpoints]

I'm going to assume you're speaking from experience...

[morphballin]

Unfortunately.

[myfingerpoints]

So uh, hilarity aside. How is it?

[morphballin]

Well. The hilarity part was sarcasm.

I'll say this. Few days after I woke up, all hell broke loose with monsters invading the place.

Then all the floors fell out, save for one. All of us and all those monsters in one huge, open room.

[myfingerpoints]

Wow, that sounds pretty...awful. Hey, uh, I don't mean to sound rude but... monsters? Really?

[morphballin]

Yeah, really.

[What's the matter, Nick, never dealt with monsters?]

1/3

[myfingerpoints]

[Only of the metaphorical human kind!!! ;n;]

Oh...

[myfingerpoints]

[myfingerpoints]

Ooookay, then. I'll just, uh, take your word for it then.

[He totally thinks you're off your rocker, Samus.]

[morphballin]

I guess you're from one of those mundane universes without weird creatures, then?

[myfingerpoints]

Er...define "weird creatures."

[morphballin]

Well. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, so...

[Samus activates a holo-emitter, and displays a standard Space Pirate footsoldier for Phoenix.]

[myfingerpoints]

Wow, OK. Firstly, if you're suggesting that...that thing is just a "weird" creature, I'd tell you you're crazy! Which is what I'm doing right now, I guess. Secondly, yes, yes I am from one of those wonderfully mundane universes without weird creatures. I couldn't be happier.

[morphballin]

Well, there's far stranger things I've encountered in my travels. [She chuckles, shutting the image down.] Given the reactions you've been having, I figured it'd be best to go a little easy on you.

[myfingerpoints]

Really? Er, thanks. I'm sorry if that was a little rude of me. Kind of a kneejerk reaction there, huh? [uneasy laughter.]

[morphballin]

Well, given that seeing aliens isn't a usual occurrence for you, I'm willing to let it slide. [Tease tease tease.]

[myfingerpoints]

Thanks a bunch.

My name's Phoenix, by the way.

[morphballin]

Samus Aran. Nice to meet you.

[failures]

What're you talking about, Nick? I'm right here!

[myfingerpoints]

O-Oh, Larry! Er, well, you see the thing is...it hasn't happened yet? [the last part is spoke with an inclining pitch, super uneasy and unsure always......]

[failures]

So...are you saying me and Edgey and everyone else is gonna die in some kind of apocalypse or something?

At least all you have to worry about is a fever!

[myfingerpoints]

Yeah... I guess I am. Sorry? I don't really know what to do about that, if that's even a real thing. It sounds kind of outlandish.

OK, OK, you're right. I guess I hypothetically did end up getting the better end of the stick.

[misham]

Oh, Mister Wright.

[myfingerpoints]

Hello.

[long pause]




Do I...know you?

[misham]

It's Vera? You don't remember me?

[myfingerpoints]

Sorry, it's just uh, well, here let's start with this... oh boy, this is going to sound really bad, but: Were you a client of mine?

[misham]

I was a client of Apollo's...?

[myfingerpoints]

I'm sorry, who?

[what......kind of name is.....apollo anyway.......(he wonders)]

[misham]

Apollo Justice?

[myfingerpoints]

[silliest name award goes to justice!!]

Yeahhhh, no, doesn't really ring a bell. Maybe you've um, mistaken me for someone else. I'm pretty sure "Wright" is a common last name, so, I wouldn't blame you at all if that's what happened here.

[misham]

No, I remember...

You are Pheonix Wright, you came to my house about Mr. Gavin..

[myfingerpoints]

...R-Really? Oh.



Um.

So, who is this Mr. Gavin again?

[misham]

You seem weird, are you ill?

[myfingerpoints]

You know, honestly? I think I might be. Lots of weird things have been happening to me lately...

[misham]

Did you go to that funny doctor again? I don't trust him.

[myfingerpoints]

Well, I don't know if we're thinking of the same doctor, but I can definitely see why you wouldn't.

But no, I didn't, I just...I don't know. There's a lot of things going on right now, so maybe those are the reasons as to why I'm acting really weird? Sorry if I'm not really making any sense here.

[misham]

It would be very nice to see you again, I do believe I would be dead without your help.

Perhaps, it would be nice to talk about things again.
