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.

[perceiving]

That's good... I guess. But how are they going to fit two defense attorneys in one game? Mr. Wright's probably going to be top banana in this one.

[truthsnomiracle]

Most likely, your role will be as a witness and secondary aide -- though it is entirely possible that Wright will find himself accused of murder once more in order to enable a chance for you to defend him.

[perceiving]

It's happened before. Hopefully it won't end the same way.

(Presenting forged evidence was not the high point of my short career.)

[truthsnomiracle]

I would imagine not, or else the repetition would be rather dull, defeating the purpose of entertainment.

[perceiving]

Good point.

Er, but it could... no, Mr. Wright's too popular.

[truthsnomiracle]

I must agree that it would make little sense to go to the trouble of reinstating Wright by popular demand only to have him be the victim of the final case. Even I'm more likely for that role.

[perceiving]

I find that unlikely, Mr. Edgeworth. You're just as popular as Mr. Wright. I mean, you got two of your own games.

[Jealous? A little.]

[truthsnomiracle]

Given that my own games were explicitly produced as filler until such time as they felt it possible to have Wright star in a game once more and production halted the moment that Shu Takumi returned, I contend that my popularity is second to Wright's.

[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.

[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!

[firstrate]

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

[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]

You have a point there.

I'm not sure I even crack the top ten. I have a lot of stiff competition.

[perceiving]

How exactly do you know this?

[perceiving]

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

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

[perceiving]

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

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

[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]

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

(Probably.)

[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...
