re: recent images for AA5

[perceiving]

Your running theories are pirate, fashion victim, and Gurren Lagann cosplay?

I don't think I'm even going to dignify that with a response.

(I don't even watch anime.)

Based on the available information, it's far more likely that you were caught in the explosion.

[perceiving]

(Mr. Edgeworth probably has the worst bedside manner of anyone I've ever met.

No, wait, his is probably the best, sadly.)

What explosion?

[truthsnomiracle]

The one around which the first case of the upcoming game revolves, which occurs in the courthouse itself.

[perceiving]

I make it back into the courtroom only to get blown up and turned into a pirate cosplayer fashion victim.

Wonderful.

[truthsnomiracle]

If it's any consolation, many doubted that you would be allowed an appearance at all. This almost certainly cements your role as more than a mere cameo.

[crownless]

Congrats, dude! You've got anime bandages now. That obviously means you're gonna do something badass in this game. Trust me, I know this.

[perceiving]

How exactly do you know this?

[crownless]

TV teaches you a lot of things.

[perceiving]

TV is nothing like reality.

Defense attorneys actually get paid on TV.

[crownless]

Ouch. Maybe you should consider taking on a second job--just to pay the bills, y'know?

[magicalwright]

You look really cool, Polly! [ The praise! The pride in him! ] It's like the sunglasses guy said, bandages mean you've done something heroic!

[perceiving]

I don't know, Trucy. It sounds like it was an accident.

...well, considering my life it probably wasn't exactly an accident.

[magicalwright]

You might still have done something! Maybe the explosion happened and then you raced back inside to save someone!

You think it might not be an accident? Who'd want to do that?!

[perceiving]

I've made a lot of enemies. Assuming it was even meant for me.

Seriously, courthouses are supposed to be safe.

[magicalwright]

With who?! Maybe you should talk to Wocky about getting some protection...

I suppose cases can never just go smoothly...

[firstrate]

How... fortunate to see that you're fine and well, Justice.

[perceiving]

(Gulp. Of all the "friendly faces"...)

Somehow I don't think "fortunate" is the word you're looking for, Mr. Gavin.

[firstrate]

Now, why wouldn't I find it fortunate to see my pupil live to see antoher game, even with slightly damaged sense of style?

[And apparently other minor injuries, but they don't matter as much.]

[perceiving]

I would list the possible reasons, Mr. Gavin, but you're a smart man.

As for my sense of style... well, not all of it is my doing.

[The bandages bode ill.]

[firstrate]

[He chuckles and adjusts his glasses ever so slightly.] I'm glad you still recognise that much.

However I have to say that the most glaring fashion statements seem to be of your own choice. Not wearing a jacket properly and leaving long strips of bandages hanging... I was living under the impression that I had taught you better than that.

[eurorockaccent]

[ There are so many words he could use in this situation. Too many, even. Ach, what to say, what yo say... ]

When might the debut album be coming out, Herr Forehead? Or whatever might your title be after the promotion?

[ To stop here will be such a pity, give him something more to chew on, Polly. ]

[perceiving]

Debut what? Fashion choices aside, I'm pretty sure I'm still a lawyer.

(Probably.)

[eurorockaccent]

Oh, was I mistaken? The new you resembles one of those so-called musicians, who rely more on their appearance than their actual "skills".

[ Though neither of those options would prove fruitful for Polly, most likely. ]

[perceiving]

[OH IT'S ON, KLAVIER.]

What part of being covered in bandages and wearing a jacket screams "musician?" Or "bad musician?"

[eurorockaccent]

[ HIT ME, BABY. ]

How funny of you to mention screaming; it might actually be the one style in music business where you could make a name for yourself. In that case those clothes would make a perfect fit.
