"the one and only," if there's any shock over being quasi-recognized (and there is), he doesn't show it. instead, he simply cocks his head at her tirade with a knowing smirk.

she's right, though-- the crime rate's sky high. most of it isn't worth the effort -- he'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise -- but if his world's prosecutors are starting to crack down on it, someone has to bite back.

"glad we're in agreement, at least. chances are, we'll both be left with a whole lot of nothing if we leave the evidence up to these bozos," as if on cue, the guard who'd ousted furina slips, stumbles, and...! splashes face-first into a puddle. sigh. 

"while it's, uh... nice to be on an even playing field, how about we make sure this field's checked thoroughly first?" he'll trust her to fill in the blanks (his one hint being a sneaky, sidelong glance at a gap in the fence, just in case), "i'm game if you are."

[hydrofloraison]

💧 On paper it didn't feel like a win to team up with a defense attorney. It was highly likely they would end up on opposing sides of the courtroom, but that silly pride that prosecutors tended to let corrupt them was something Furina had been attempting to shake in recent years.

"Loathed as I am to admit it, if I don't find a way onto that crime scene I won't be able to trust any of the evidence that ends up on my desk." She was tapping her foot impatiently while thinking things through.

The woman checked out for a moment. She was listening to what he was saying, but the implications didn't really click until he asked her if she was game. "...Eh? Are you actually suggestion we sneak in? Do you not think they'll jail us or worse if we're caught?"

Uzi wants to try food. Obviously, as a Worker Drone she never needed to eat or drink- no, she never needed to eat anything. And while eating has a whole host of gross side effects, it would be silly to not at least try it. 'Cuz humans love eating so it must be fun, right? Or something?

She is staring, and she knows it, and she isn't particularly ashamed either. When the pale-haired woman finally speaks, Uzi's eyes are still focused on the marshmallows. "I haven't, actually. It's- how should I put it? Never really came up."

She finally looks up, eyes now fixed on the woman. Is this staring too closely? It's odd to see so clearly, without a HUD in the way. "Listen, this might sound weird, but I have an important question. What's good... food."

Phrasing? She shakes her head. "W-wait, redo. If you could recommend any food to someone, what's your choice?"

[hydrofloraison]

💧 "Marshmallows "never really came up"? Okay." It was such a weird statement that the prosecutor didn't really know what to do with it. That was only the tip of the iceberg in the end, because the crow continued on with an even more ludicrous statement. "What's good... food?"

Even though Uzi had tried to backpedal, Furina was already making a scrunched up face of confusion at her. "You have eaten food before, right?" She was able to read through the lines well enough. That wasn't a question you'd ask, at least in that way out of the gate, if you'd never eaten before.

"Things typically die when they don't eat. So how could that be possible?"

[lethalitisms]

Something strange has been happening to the people in this city. He remembers the last time he'd been caught in such a mess; he was turned into a vampire. And that wasn't really much fun, when his shit sleep schedule stuck. The symbiote could somewhat sniff it, something similar to that time when they'd fought the poisons, but it doesn't seem like there are any new people around. More like, the people already here had changed. What the hell is going on?

「 We don't like this, 」 the symbiote very helpfully supplied, and Eddie put his finger to his chin in agreement. Whatever was happening, it wasn't like there was a venomized Dr. Strange to consult. And, not to mention, he'd probably be a little condescending about it too. "Maybe it's not so bad? Y'know, more like . . . your average Tuesday in New York. It'll probably be fixed in a few weeks. Like usual. We just gotta sit tight and--"

"Hey!" He hadn't really noticed how long they'd been standing there, having their private little conversation. The symbiote laughs in his mind, and Eddie is very obviously annoyed, wiping the water off his face. She's right, but did she have to use a water gun on them? He takes a step just to the side, making the staircase clear of their own obstruction, and scowls at her. "There. You happy?"

[hydrofloraison]

💧 To be fair, most people wouldn't respond kindly to suddenly being splashed by water. It just wasn't a pleasant thing to have happen to you in general, much less out of the blue. Still, she wasn't a very big fan of his attitude over the whole thing. ...Even though it was basically her fault. Furina frowned but stopped short of scolding him further.

"If you were that out of it, then is something bothering you perchance?" She leaned in, twirling her water gun with her finger expertly. Maybe it didn't come off that way, but she was trying to be empathetic. It was something she was poor at, but she was working on it!

"Is it anything that a curious ear could help with? I may not look it, but I'm quite attuned to the problems of the everyday person!" Except she really wasn't.

@hydrofloraison

shooed away from a crime scene yet again; funny how getting the short end of the stick transcends worldly barriers. he supposes he could just give up and investigate elsewhere... unless there's a weak spot he can sneak... through...?

oh, what's going on over there? the prosecution's getting the boot? yuri always manages to forget about that (and he always gets a damn good kick out of it, too).

"that's too bad, huh, miss prosecutor?" an easygoing gait to match easygoing, far-too-informal speech for someone of their calibers.

once close enough to lower his volume, he juts a thumb toward the bumbling detectives, "i'd trust these guys about as far as i could throw 'em," (which might be pretty far, actually, but they'd cuff him long before he can test that theory). "looks like you're fresh out of luck, though. that's gotta sting after VIP treatment back home."

[hydrofloraison]

💧 "What in the world do you think you're doing, monsieur!? I'm the prosecutor on this case! While it may be true that the legal system here is something of a farce... I still have a right to examine things!" The prosecutor really had been pulled out kicking and screaming for the most part. Furina had never been very difficult to displace if needed, and her bluster was always bark and never bite anyways.

Once the guard that had "escorted" out took off, it wasn't until she was spoken to that she seemed to compose herself again. Quite suddenly, too. "Y-You! That Brave Vesperia fellow!" She wasn't about to bring up what he'd surely just seen.

It took her a moment to clear her throat and cross her arms. "Yes, well. They're clearly so accustomed to allowing criminals to get away with whatever they want in this city. This level of pushback against any of us is to be expected." Would just any of them get dragged out kicking and screaming after sneaking in, though? No, that award went to the foolish prosecutor here.

[hydrofloraison]

@bitemedotmp3

💧 Furina, curled up into a ball with her knees raised to her chest on the bench, kept eyeing the girl sitting beside her. It wasn't as if seeing a crow girl was all that unusual to her. She was just a regular lawyer, but she'd been in the city for some time now. It was more of a self-preservation effort. The prosecutor had been snacking on some marshmallows in a pouch resting on her lap.

The girl had not so subtly been eyeing them.

"What? Have you never had a marshmallow before? They're quite cheap, you know." Furina didn't play about pasta or sweets.

[hydrofloraison]

@lethalitisms

💧 This city was full of strange folk, but Prosecutor Furina had lived here long enough by this point to more or less have become accustomed to it. But why was this man just staring off into space like that? He was blocking the way, whether he realized it or not.

But the woman had just the thing for that! She opened her briefcase and pulled out a medium sized water fun; fully loaded. And she shot him with it in the face. It shouldn't have soaked him, but it definitely would have snapped him out of it.

"Helloooo! Earth to whoever you are? The stairs are right behind you. What if a monsieur or mademoiselle needed to pass?"

ALTERNATIVE ALLEGORY

ACE ATTORNEY AU PROSECUTOR FURINA

taking inspiration from her court appearances in fontaine where she often worked as a prosecutor

she's a prosecutor from france who has been working on cases in america during the dark age of the law

she's been working to try and undo it to no avail

got her license at the age of 18 and is 22 now

notorious for her theatrics in the courtroom

carries water guns of varying size in her briefcase to splash the defense or witnesses when agitated

she's still involved in the performing arts and is a famous performer back home

she doesn't realize anything has changed

[multirosa]

"N-no! It's a derogatory insult toward young men. It's based solely on your physique, which...while I admit is quite princely, is a very rude assumption for them to make!"

[hydrofloraison]

💧 "I suppose... there's nothing wrong with being mistaken for a prince, is there? I've been mistaken for a boy plenty of times now, and it doesn't really bother me."

"I would assume you'd sooner be mistaken for a princess than I for a prince, however."

[foreverembrace]

"Yes, no, and yes." He responds to her questions in kind, thinking in his mind that it was a bit of a quirky response, but from what he had seen of the woman she was a bit quirky herself. Perhaps quirky would be the way to go.

"I'm guessing you have a list of my specialties? I have dabbled in advertisement before, beyond idol work." Work, what a funny way to phrase that.

"What kind of job?"

[hydrofloraison]

💧 It took her a moment to connect his responses to the questions she had asked, but she was pretty sure he was down for the job considering his follow-up question. Ivan certainly had the air of someone from the world of performance arts. It was a bit of a relief. "Bien! Let us be on our way, then!"

Evidently there was no time to dillydally. Furina was planning on explaining on the way and was already out of the agency's front door.

"It's a live performance to promote a book release. You'll only need to perform one act... or song in this case, I suppose. It pays moderately well, but they mentioned a bonus depending on crowd reaction."

[ellysiland]

❝ can you imagine a giant seahorse?? a giant ridable one, if uhm... ❞ the sinner was going to try again. what was it again?? the first name, L.L. knew she was going to struggle with so let's try the second. ❝ chev... chevalmarin?? wait a second... french?? ah, never mind. continuing, if chevalmarin would be happy with being ridden?? ❞ L.L. realized that she was going on a little bit of a tangent, where her words left her lips without processing through her mind, but she hoped it would be fine.

❝ there are some places with large bodies of water where i'm from but i never got to visit them. ❞ mainly due to her being stuck in her bathtub. maybe she should have asked the chief to take her out on a trip?? maybe next time. it was introduction time!! regina of all waters though, that sounded impressive!! ❝ i'm L.L.!! uhm … island owner of elysiland?? former island owner?? anyhow, it's really nice to meet you, miss furina!! ❞

[hydrofloraison]

💧 "To mount like a horse, you mean? I suppose it does have horse in the name, but I'd fear placing too much of a burden on its back. I'm not sure if they're shaped for mounting..." Maybe if they were properly trained for it? But she couldn't imagine riding her own. "French... I suppose that's what the language is called elsewhere, but it's the language of Fontaine in my own realm." It wasn't the first time she had heard that, but she didn't even know what Frenchland or whatever was.

L.L. wasn't a conventional name, but she had never heard of anyone else named "Furina" before either. Then again, Fontainians probably didn't want to name their children after their reigning Archon. "Ah, so you've owned property? Was there some reason you were drawn to the owning an isle of all places?" Was that relevant to anything?

[ellysiland]

so. the basic answer was time. eventually, L.L. would be able to summon MANTY. but time would mean she would have to stay here; wouldn't going home be the fastest way for everything to go back to normal?? lips were pursed for a second before the blue-haired woman shook her head; later. she shouldn't be depressed about it, not now. focus on something else. like the seahorse.

❝ you would live manty. it's adorable!! oh, can … surin … mmm … your friend grow in size?? manty can!! when i get them back, we can go for a ride on it!! ❞ was it obvious L.L. was changing the subject, trying to focus on something a little more light—hearted??

[hydrofloraison]

💧 "Grow in size... Hm, I can't say I've ever tried." The thought had never occurred to her, either. Furina based her Hydro friends off of characters in a story that she loved. That was why they had such interesting names, and it seemed her new friend struggled with the seahorse's own name.

"Manty" was a much more manageable name, to be fair.

"But I'd be very interested in riding them if that's the case! The nation I come from is one overflowing with water, and even I was known as the Regina of All Waters once! Ah, but that brings me to my name. Furina! It's a pleasure to meet you, mademoiselle!" She ended with a polite bow.

Spring is finally over, time to hit the waves! 🐳

Happy birthday Furina! 🥹🐳🌊

[thatlazybones]

Happy birthday Fufuu 🩵🩵

[ellysiland]

adorable!! absolutely adorable!! what lovely shades of blue, a floating seahorse!! ❝ oh, she is absolutely stunning!! she reminds me of manty!! ah, manty's my best friend!! it's a manta ray and ... maybe just a little smaller than your friend here. ❞ oh how L.L. missed her oldest friend. while she is doing ... better, so to speak, without her helper, there were days where it was only a tad bit tougher to do, what would be considered, normal things. ❝ could i ask, how?? ❞

how could the sinner get MANTY back??

[hydrofloraison]

💧 The touching tale of a manta ray caught Furina's attention. She was something of a lover for all things aquatic, which was fitting of a woman from Fontaine where the underwater was thoroughly explored by its natives. "Is that so? I'd love to meet them if given the opportunity!"

"How? Well, she's a product of my powers, I suppose. Unless you meant how did I have her returned, but it was just because I regained some power. I suppose that isn't a very helpful explanation... But these things seem to come with time."
