3. Classy Turnabout: Day 1 Investigation P1 (1/2)

wow, i didn't expect to have a favorite already, thank you jckgwk. i wanted to let you know that it will be slow updates as i'm writing and editing this myself. i'd also like to say that although it's marked as comedy i don't want it to be straight comedy, i still want to tell a story.

i still don't own any of this, but i can dream.

detention center visitor's room

i see phoenix look at me curiously before asking his question. "why did you ask me? i'm just a rookie after all, haven't even been a lawyer for half a year yet. if you're as popular as maya says then you could get a lawyer with much more experience than me, but you sought me out, why?"

oh… i didn't think of that, it's still the first game, way too soon for him to be considered an ace attorney. what can i say that sounds believable, well i know the future and that you always win, that'll go over well, i can all-

"because… i'm an esper."

what…

why...

why did i say that! ok, calm down nico and just tell them… wait, i can't talk, why can't i talk?

phoenix reacts about as well as i expected him to, utter disbelief. "ok… now why did you really ask for me?"

i once again find myself speaking against my will as i leaned forward and lock my fingers together. "i already told you mr. wright, i am an esper."

"do you expect me to believe that?" ya me, do you expect him to believe that.

"and the existence of the kurain spirit channeling technique is any more believable? you've seen the proof with your own eyes mr. wright, i know you have, the supernatural is, in some forms, real." i did not see myself coming up with that argument, also why can't i control what i say?

phoenix visibly deflated. "yea, i suppose i have, but to just say you're an esper like that is-"

"the truth i assure you, i would never lie about this." i would totally lie about this. "i know things mr. wright, about people and what they hide from the world. i can see a person and know things about them i've never had a chance to learn, like that ms. fey here is a burger addict with a knack for getting in trouble, and taking things that don't belong to her." ok now i'm just saying things i learned from the game.

sed burger addict's jaw practically hit the floor, "wow! you really are an esper. do nick, do nick!" no thank you, that's edgeworth's job.

"you also use your childish nature to hide how much pain you still feel inside, both over your sister's death and your still missing mother."

"what! how do you-"

thankfully, she's cut off by phoenix. "ok, so let's say you are an esper, what does that have to do with me?"

at this point i let out a another laugh. why the hell am i laughing so much. "it has everything to do with you mr. wright, the reason i asked you is because i know you can prove me not guilty, anyone else and i will most assuredly be declared guilty, and the true killer will go free."

phoenix's pov

well that wasn't what i expected. "understatement of the century there phoenix." it was strange, i ask nico why he wanted to hire me and suddenly he changes his whole demeanor and drops being an esper on me. i want to tell him he's nuts but…

after i calm maya down, she's still fangirling, i turn to nico. "as crazy as it sounds, i believe you, for now at least. i'll take the case." after i say that maya starts cheering and nico straightens up. "after all, if what you're saying is true then it's not fair to say no."

nico then smiles and unclasps his hands. "thank you mr. wright, i assume you have questions and i'll happily tell you what i know."

i guess i should start with the victim. "tell me about leon kuwata."

"leon was my roommate, one of the reasons they they arrested me was because the crime scene was in our dorm building. he was the star of the baseball team but never really cared for it."

"he didn't like baseball?"

"not at all, he wanted to be a musician, kept bothering the music professor to give him extra lessons. said the only reason he kept playing was so he could attend on a scholarship."

after this maya decided to add her two cents. "that's right, you always said you wondered why he's so skilled if he never practices."

hmm… i'll need to talk to this professor when we go to the crime scene, for now i still need to ask some questions.

"where were you when the murder was taking place?"

"i was doing a live-stream, play some games, sing some songs and read some fan fictions for my picky penguins. i was on camera until about midnight."

live-stream added to court record

"by the way, that reminds me, why do you have a camera with you? from what maya said you don't do vlogs, and how did you get that past the guards?"

"oh this?" he says while pulling his camera back out. "with all that's happening i thought it was a good idea to keep my penguins updated."

"and the guards?"

"i think a guy could

ing a filled champagne glass and a watch-phone in here and the guards wouldn't bat an eye."

"actually i could to, wait, watch-phone?"
