okay you know what. this has delayed me by an entire two days in writing the apolluke fic (should really come up with an acronym or something) so I have to outsource the question

riddle me this! I don’t know what detective to have on the case.

my first thought was ema! but, the fic’s in 2028 and I know that we’re retconning SoJ’s 2028 events but she’s 100% gotten her promotion to a forensic scientist by this point and I refuse to believe she hasnt. she DESERVES.

and I adore ema as a character but honest to god despite finishing my Apollo Justice playthrough recently could NOT get a grasp on her personality?? she’s just kinda very moody and as funny as it is, that isn’t very present on SoJ from what I’ve seen (don’t own a copy and still watching the game) but she is more likely, I just have no will to write her yet nor the confidence.

the thing is?? I don’t really have other options. because we’re post DD so no Fulbright and as much as I am the biggest Gumshoe fan to walk the earth iii think he isn’t gonna work here. I could always do an OC and that is my second option if I can’t figure out how the hell I’m gonna write Ema but I do have the OCs for this case worked out and there’s no space for the detective to be really case relative. a new detective would be so fun to write though and honest to god I already have plenty ocs that can do that legwork

sorry to yell here about this!! this was. um. super long and also ema Skye appreciation I adore her but I dont know if I can’t write her she’s delayed me by days already and I hope to have this up by Monday (my time) . On the other hand if I do plan to make more casefics/side fics for the Apolluke Penpal Cinematic Universe, a dedicated detective could be fun but would require introducing to the audience

Ooohh yeah I hear ya there. Figuring out a solid Detective for a case is a bit tricky, especially when it comes to Ema. She seems like a normal, easy character on the outset (how hard can it really be to write a jaded once bright-eyed lover of all things forensic sciences?? She's a nerd to boot, should be easy!), but lots of difficulties once you get into the weeds. (She's jaded, but in a similar way to Hobohodou. She hates Klavier Gavin with a passion. She's excited for her job but she's stuck with all these damn fussy boys!) (SoJ is pretty excellent for her character, love to see her though my poor dear goes through some of it ;w; ;;; ) I, too, love her, though, so no worries, I love hearing the take on her!! =w=

A new detective would be cool to see, tbh!! I'm all for Ace Attorney OCs (I have my own and all lol) (Prosecutor, his Mortician siblings, and their twin Detective buds) (duality is a theme I lean into a lot hahaha), so if it works better like that, then go for it! Could also like, make Kay the Detective if you prefer a familiar face, I know popular fanon is that she's Detective by the AJ era.

A wild chaotic third option, force Luke to fill the Detective role lmao-- (/I am removed for being too chaotic)

Brandon pushes a keyboard he was trying to fix away from him as he heard his phone go off on the table behind him. He turned around and picked up his phone, grinning at it like the goof that he actually was.

Ezra’s job was simple to say the least, he had no qualms with a permanent position at a desk investigating the calls of illegal magic. From spells cast in front of muggles to illegal curses thrown by criminals, he collected as much information as possible for either their prosecution or claim to innocence. Owls were sent detailing their crimes and depositions set. Most days, it all became very mindless. Ezra only having to put in longer hours when covering for the minor transgressions of Death Eaters, or investigate extremely violate cases. Rarely, would an official letter been undeliverable but in such a case, an Auror would be dispatched to track down the assailant. This particular case was a heavy file, clasped in Ezra’s hands as he personally delivered it to Frank Longbottom. A woman with no foreseen alliance who among the cheers and celebration of the holidays, the Ministry’s busiest time of year, had frivolously cast hexes and curses in front and on muggles during a weeklong bender. Now, she’d disappeared, perhaps avoiding persecution. “Mornin’ Frank.” Knuckles rapped against the wood grain of the Auror’s desk. A friend he’d surprisingly come to find endearing. “I’ve got a case for you if you’re available. I’d rather you handle it than Jones; he’d take three times longer to close it.”

☾ "We're closing in ten minutes," Youngmin called out when he heard another customer in the store, a small hint of annoyance in his voice.  He didn't mind people spending a lot of time in his shop, but not when he was supposed to be going home.  Pausing from straightening out his little area with crystals and succulents, he gave the newcomer a long glance before smiling widely.  "Well, aren't you adorable?" He leaned over the display counter between them with his chin in his hand.  "I don’t have any appointments scheduled, but you've got to let me do your birth chart."
