[Anyone who might walk past or into the library may notice a strange scene. First of all, it looks like a huge fight took place. Then, they may notice the dead body of the fake Phoenix Wright lying face-down on the ground. And then they may notice Edgeworth assuming the fetal position a few feet away from the body, trembling. Don't try to get him to talk for now; he won't speak. But he could use some help.]

[Patrolling along, Ed & Co. stumble upon the scene.]

What the hell happened here!?

[Georik checks Phoenix's pulse, and rolls him over to check breathing]

He's dead.

[Then Edgeworth, tend to living, he moves next to him, slowly enough not to spook him]

Councilor Edgeworth?

You would think this is the perfect time for Guybrush to ruin the mood.

For once, he fails at this.


...oh geez...

...Shit, that's-

[Zazie looks pointedly at the ground, away from "Phoenix"'s corpse. He remembers that guy, even if they'd hardly spoken when meeting.]

...You were his best friend, weren't you, Counselor?

Do you... need a hand?

(he blinks, realizing something)

Or some good news?

["Okay. Okay. You've seen death before Ed. You can handle this. Just...focus on logic. Logic is safe"]

We need to figure out what happened here. Did the councilor fight and kill this Wright guy? That's what it looks like.

(Josh shakes his head)

No, can't be. That's what I meant about the good news - this isn't Wright.

Georik - this rooms reeks of hellfire. Can Thou smell this, Thy senses must be sensitive enough to pick it up by now.

[Georik flinches when he realized that indeed he could smell it, but he swallowed, and moved closer]

Let's get you out of here - This is no place for anyone to sit. Then we will have all the time in the multiverse if you need it.

[He moves to catch Edgeworth]

You can use me as a support if you feel you cannot stand on your own. We are here for you in whatever means.

[While it is awkward for him to do considering their height difference, he complies]

[Zazie gives a small sigh of relief when he hears it wasn't actually Phoenix, but it's still a tense atmosphere. With no clue how to really investigate such a crime scene, he instead goes to Edgeworth and crouches down to speak with him.]

Hey.

Zazie, if you please - can you help me take him to Morrison's office?

Date: 2010-09-07 07:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ao-to-cats.livejournal.com
...Yeah. Sure.

[He goes to Edgeworth's side, ready to support him as needed.]

Thank you.

And none shall harm thee while thou do these foolish acts of charity.

Do not expect me to thank you, Devil.

Do you know that for sure? His brain could have been messed with somehow to make him act different from normal.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to make this public... I ran some tests. This isn't the real Phoenix Wright - and the real Phoenix Wright is somewhere on this plane. And you can thank Ka----ouncilor Hagino for cluing me in.

Do you know how the ANIMa works?

You can't normally manifest two weapons from one person. I'll put it that way.

You ALSO can't normally manifest someone who's not on the plane.

Ah, clever. Could we set you up with some guards somewhere, then, so you can confirm people's identities?

[Once Edgeworth was successfully escorted to Morrison's office, Georik returns, holding a throwing knife in his hand with the manner of a practiced hand before placing it back under his coat]

My apologies to interrupt, but for our status report:

Councilor Edgeworth is now in safe hands - but I dare not press him for what happened in his present emotional state. If we want the truth, we will have to seek it ourselves.

What an amusing jest - having those words falling from thy lips.

[There's a slight twitch, as if from a tension headache, as he pulls his gloves on]

Shall we get ready?

Date: 2010-09-07 08:00 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] bittervictor.livejournal.com
Yeah. Yeah, let's.

Ed has the measure of it - if we can keep an ANIMa powered up, and have Pilots try to manifest the quislings AND the real people, we have a way of confirming who's a fake and who isn't.

. . .

[Enter a solemn-looking boy who, limping in, glances around the scene.]

This is where he was caught . . . ? Do you . . . mind if I help? I can find things of importance with my Reveal . . .

((In other words, do you mind if Ivan jumps into the investigation topic?))

With your "Reveal"?

((Sure))

It's a type of Psynergy I can use based on my psychic powers. . . . Please watch carefully for anything out of the ordinary.

Um. And thank you . . .
