A livin’, breathin’ lie detector!
Ever consiiidered joinin’ the force?
No...
No offense, but... the police get things wrong sometimes. I think it's more important to make sure that when they do, someone's standing between an innocent person and the punishment they don't deserve.
Past tense. Oh. She’s so young. Better to focus on the other topic she brought up.
"You mentioned that! How do you hear something like discord, aaanyway?"
"Weeeeeeeellll..."
"It's hard to explain! It's kind of like... Mostly in the tone of someone's voice, more than anything else, I guess. Plus, if I'm within about... ten feet or so, depending on the person's blood pressure, I can hear their heartbeat."
For a moment, he was truly, genuinely confused. Nothing he’d read had made him think that a lawyer would turn him down simply because he was guilty. Yes, definitely reminiscent of the inspector - too moral for her own good.
"You see, I am in a bit of a predicament. Up until recently, Sibyl was the only legal system this country had meaning that if you do not represent me…I likely will not get a trial at all and will simply be quietly executed. Now does that seem fair?"
For a moment, Athena seemed torn, but her face quickly turned determined. "You admitted your guilt already. That seems fair enough to me," she said disdainfully. "I warned you," she adds, then seizes Makishima by the collar and throws him in the direction of the door. "I hate people like you. You don't deserve a fair trial if you've already confessed to doing it."
"Oh? I know very little of your profession, I confess, but I did not think lawyers were ones to throw a career making case away based on…ethical qualms." He laughed, what an odd little thing, she reminded him of a certain MWPSB inspector.
"If it helps, I did none of the killing myself, I merely facilitated the desires of others."
"I'm not just any lawyer," Athena said fiercely. "I can't defend someone who's guilty. It's just not right. And neither is what you did," she added, cracking her knuckles. "Leave my office now. Go find another lawyer, you sicko. I don't care if you didn't kill anyone, you aided and abetted and that's just as terrible."
Don’t we all haaave a close friend with zero social filters!
Happens to the best of us. So the little pest is helpful, eh? Did you make him yourself?
No, my mother did.
She was an amazing, brilliant woman, and she worked really hard to make my life easier when it came to my ability. My hearing is almost painfully good sometimes, especially if there's a lot of discord in someone's heart.

"That’s quite the toy you’ve got there." He nodded at the interrupting bauble.
"So you’re the new lawyer I’ve been hearing about, one of the newest additions to Wright’s office." He fiddled with his visor. "Even in prison, I’m still granted the privilege of a newspaper."
"Yeah, he helps me out in court," she agreed. "My mother engineered him." At the memory of her mother, Athena smiled softly. "She was a very talented woman - sorry, I'm getting sidetracked."
"Yes, I'm the newest employee at the Wright Anything office," she announced proudly, adjusting her attorney's badge on her lapel slightly. "It's a great honor to work there."
Yep, him! He’s a good friend.
Nice necklace you have there. Is it— smiling?
Yep! His name is Widget. He's an AI that helps me psychoanalyze people.
"There needs to be a public face to answer for the recent riots. By turning myself in and forcing them to take me trial as opposed to the usual swift justice Sibyl deals in, perhaps the public can be a bit more enlightened as to their current…predicament."
A slow grin spread over his face, “And, I suppose there’s the fact that I was, absolutely responsible for facilitating the crimes at hand.”
Athena went pale. She had suspected as much; the voice of his heart was a cold and cruel one. Her hands curled into fists and she inhaled slowly, counting to ten, but it was no use. She stood, circling around the desk, and settled into a jiujitsu stance.
"I heard about those crimes," she said shakily. "All those people. Find yourself another lawyer, you monster. I only defend the innocent, and your hands are covered in blood! Get out, before I throw you out. Literally," she growled, pointing to the window.
"The pleasure is mine." He extended his hand, a small smile on his lips. The judicial system was still hardly an established thing and running it in tandem with Sibyl had proved to be nothing short of a nightmare. The perfect setting for a touch of chaos, Shogo assumed.
"Today I will be turning myself in to the MWPSB in a very public manner. I will need a rather good lawyer."
"Oh." She took the proffered hand. "Well, you've come to the right place," she said awkwardly, gesturing to the seat across from the desk. "Please, have a seat..." Athena seemed nervous, for some reason. "Can I ask why you'll be turning yourself in?"

"Hi! I am Athena Cykes!" the young woman said brightly, in excellent Japanese. "It is a pleasure to meet you, and welcome to the Wright Anything Japanese branch office! How can I help you?"

Hey there! I’ve spotted you talking with Fancy Dancer.
I’m Seluna, nice to meet you.
Hi, Seluna! I'm Athena. You mean Mr. Cabanela, right?
Do you ever feel like falling for someone you never thought of falling for? Without him, though you move, you're getting nowhere. Tell me, Who's in your heart now, when Leonard Cohen is singing 'Hallelujah'?
i am so good at forgetting that i have other blogs than my personal and my missy blog
i've caught up on all my replies here in record time, i'll be over on my cecil blog for a few minutes, and then i'll be bouncing around keeping up with these three for the rest of the night
like this for a starter if you'd like to rp!
“It’s the one Mr. Wright told us to research about. The murder in the apartment complex. Did you even read the files Athena?”
"Ah!!! That case! Shoot, I got completely sidetracked! I started to investigate, but then Trucy vanished this suspicious handkerchief I found into her magic panties, and we started to look for it, and then..." Athena groans. "We got so sidetracked cleaning the office and putting back all the vanished things we did find that I forgot. Quick, let me see the court record."
"Ms. Cykes, I’ve been listening to criminals lie since you were in diapers. I’d advise you to not try that on me again, even without your necklace."
"Yeah, that was probably a stupid idea. You're one of the best prosecutors in the world, after all!" Maybe she can flatter her way out of this.
Good thooought! I don’t do sarcasm.
's a waste of perfectly good opportunities to throw insults, and makes people wary of compliments. You carry that tune, girl!
Now while we’re bein’ fraaank, that device looks like the opposite of convenient!
Yeeeeeaaaah, sometimes. He really helps me out in court, and when I'm having a hard time with my hearing. I know you're not being sarcastic, because I can hear the voice of your heart. I would have known you were lying right away... I was just embarrassed. Heh. Sometimes when he blurts out what I'm thinking it messes things up, though - but I don't know what I'd do without him.

"Well well well, it seems I’ve earned the privilege of meeting with a newbie today."
"So, what do they call you Ms. Attorney-in-training?"
"Athena Cykes..."
[And I'm not sure if I -dfjgnsdfjg]
She clamps her hand over Widget quickly with a nervous grin. "Don't mind Widget, he wasn't going to say anything rude!"
