@revcnite  II Starter Call

(Wright … so, we’re to face in court again. Are you still seething about the penalty I dealt to you last time? I expect your mentor is.)

(Undoubtedly, you’ll be on your guard around me, in or out of court. I don’t regret what I’ve done, however. You chose your path, and I chose mine.)

“Surprised, Prosecutor Wright? Coincidence or no, we’re to be each other’s opponents again. I can only hope you’re prepared.”

[vervolgd]

The prosecutor widened his heterochromatic eyes when he saw Edgeworth standing there, unsure how to even feel anymore. He had already lost once, and now, he’s worried he’s about to lose twice and have his mentor rain hell down upon himself.

(“Oh god... Edgeworth... this can’t be happening, can it?”) He panicked mentally, but he had to play calm and not seem suspicious. 

“I... I suppose this is a mere coincidence we are facing off as rivals again, yes. You should know I’m prepared.”

“Yes, he has a daughter called Trucy. He does have two subordinates called Apollo and Athena… is that so impossible to believe?”

“………………” He just holds a hand to his forehead, feeling like he only grew more confused in the end. “I think I need to go lay down. This is making my brain hurt. Please just throw me a punchline and say today’s Opposite Day or something.” 

[vervolgd]

“...Was that what I was meant to do? Because I thought stating the truth was actually the wiser thing to do.” He was just confused about why the attorney couldn’t exactly believe what he was saying. He was speaking English, right?

[daddliestlawyer]

vervolgd:

“Some do, but that is very unlikely.” He replied calmly, arms folded as he looked to the side slightly.

“I don’t have any children… Edgeworth does have a daughter called Trucy, however.”

“You don’t? I see….W-W-W-Wait, wait, hold the phone: HE has a daughter? Named Trucy??? … What’s next, you’re going to tell me he’s a defense attorney with two employees named Apollo and Athena?“

[vervolgd]

“Yes, he has a daughter called Trucy. He does have two subordinates called Apollo and Athena... is that so impossible to believe?”

[daddliestlawyer]

vervolgd:

“I’m not your long lost brother, no. Why would someone name their children the same name… furthermore, my parents are deceased.”

“S-Some families do that, I think….wait, they are? Oh, nevermind then…” Both of Phoenix’s parents were still alive, so while the two were a Phoenix Wright, they were extremely different both in lifestyle and character.

“Even with the same name, we still really are different, huh…say, do you also have a daughter…named Trucy?”

[vervolgd]

“Some do, but that is very unlikely.” He replied calmly, arms folded as he looked to the side slightly.

“I don’t have any children... Edgeworth does have a daughter called Trucy, however.”

❝ Why yes, everything is perfectly fine. Why do you ask? ❞ He says as he’s lying flat on the floor face-down.

“Yes, lying on the ground, face-down, is perfectly fine.” Retorts the ever loving partner. “What is wrong this time, Edgeworth?”

He rolls his eyes, but keeps his face planted into the carpet, sighing. ❝ Nothing you need to be concerned about. Don’t let me take you away from your work. ❞ He mumbles, starting to feel the carpet marking into his forehead. 

[vervolgd]

Phoenix sighed as he gently tapped his partner’s shoulder with his foot. “This is highly unhygienic right now, Edgeworth. Just, get up and actually talk to me like I’m your husband.”

“I doubt we’re even meant to be each other. Sure, our name is rare, but it’s still possible to be the same person, but have different ways in life.”

“I-I guess that’s true, seeing as how you have the completely opposite profession as me. Umm…you sure you’re not my long-lost younger brother or something…?” 

[vervolgd]

“I’m not your long lost brother, no. Why would someone name their children the same name... furthermore, my parents are deceased.”

“Listen, it may not look like it, I’m not even 30 yet, but I am the chief prosecutor. Do I have to go show my badge around like a bloody baboon to make you believe me?!”

“I’m older than you??? But if you’re supposed to be me, I don’t remember looking this when I was younger…n-no, you don’t have to do that, I’ll believe you, I’ll believe you!!”

[vervolgd]

“I doubt we’re even meant to be each other. Sure, our name is rare, but it’s still possible to be the same person, but have different ways in life.”

“I mean exactly what I said. Why would I pull some kind of prank with Edgeworth when he’s happily doing his job as a defense attorney?”

“…Okay, now I know you’re trying to pull my leg. He’s the chief prosecutor, not…whoever you’re supposed to be. I mean, last time I checked, he was.” 

[vervolgd]

“Listen, it may not look like it, I’m not even 30 yet, but I am the chief prosecutor. Do I have to go show my badge around like a bloody baboon to make you believe me?!”

[daddliestlawyer]

@vervolgd

“……..What do you mean ‘why am I defense lawyer?’ I should be asking YOU why you’re apparently the ‘Chief Prosecutor’ with the exact same name as me: are you in cahoots with Edgeworth and trying to play some kind of prank on me?” 

[vervolgd]

“I mean exactly what I said. Why would I pull some kind of prank with Edgeworth when he’s happily doing his job as a defense attorney?”

[vervolgd]

Do men and women try to flirt with you a lot? :3c

“I guess they try… but that’s about it.”

Phoenix remained unphased, he had to, as he watched his mentor carefully. Heterochromatic eyes were narrowed at his comment about Edgeworth, almost tempted to counter it with the real reason, but that was irrelevant to what bombshell von Karma dropped on him.

“Wh-What…?! But the double jeopardy should of kicked in! I refuse to prosecute him, not again! You may be my mentor and ‘adoptive father’, but you are never controlling me again! You hear me?! Edgeworth will defend him… and Cindy Stone’s true killer will be found!”

Manfred foresaw those arguments, for he knew his pupil would attempt to absolve that audacious defendant. He crossed his arms, almost nonchalantly. He couldn’t care less for what logic Wright brought forth; it was unworthy of his attention. He’d already figured out its counter long before venturing speaking with him.

“Double jeopardy is only applicable if no bias was found on either side. Your siding with Miles Edgeworth proved to be your undoing. Think on this, Wright.”

“You’ve a second chance to prosecutor Ms. Stone’s true killer. I’ve more evidence that incriminates the accused. I believe it to be of use to you, the prosecution.”

[vervolgd]

The student gripped his wrist as he looked away, a soft growl leaving the back of his throat. Why did this have to turn out this way? His hands are tied, he either goes back to this retrial... or he holds out that someone else will take the case off his hands. The latter was ideal, but knowing his so called ‘mentor’, that wouldn’t happen in any reality.

“...Why. Why are you going as far as to make me go against both Edgeworth and Larry. They’re the only friends I had, and like my life, you stole them from me by taking me away. I’m nothing like you, and I never will be. I can play the act, but I’ll never become as devious and as cruel as you, sir.”

[vervolgd]

"You called, sir? I'm a little busy right now..." - Ema

“Oh… if you’re busy, Detective I won’t keep you. I’m sorry, I thought I could ask if you had some evidence for me, but if you’re busy on something else, I’ll go get it myself.”

His heart stopped for a brief moment when his mentor entered his office. Something wasn’t right, he knew it. Then it hit him, that trial, von Karma was observing it… and something told Phoenix he wasn’t going to get away with losing his perfect win record. He had to think - and fast - to save himself from his mentor’s wrath.

“I was expecting someone else, sir.”

“But what I did, I did for the sake of… well… my own sake. Just like you have your perfect win record, which in itself is rather foolish, my sake is to protect innocent people… at least… that’s what I’ve found to be the true pursuit of a prosecutor… I do not need your judgmental gaze on my change in path, and I do not need your righteous bullshit.”

Manfred clenched his teeth, then bared them in the manner of a predator facing down prey. So, it’s come to this, has it? Wright was audacious enough to stray from the von Karma path, and, therefore, his pretenses needed righting. Thankfully, Manfred had all that he needed to ensure the verdict was handled properly this time. 

“Were you expecting that insipid defense attorney, Miles Edgeworth, to enter through the door?”

“It did not escape me that the two of you were acting as a coherent duo. Did you think I neglected that your arguments towards the defendant’s guilt were especially weak? That is why I ordered a retrial, Wright.” The bared teeth turned into a rather wicked smile. “A retrial for one Larry Butz, in which he will most assuredly be found guilty for the murder of Ms. Cindy Block.”

[vervolgd]

Phoenix remained unphased, he had to, as he watched his mentor carefully. Heterochromatic eyes were narrowed at his comment about Edgeworth, almost tempted to counter it with the real reason, but that was irrelevant to what bombshell von Karma dropped on him.

@chaotic-lawful-objections you know who this is for ;D

It had been about a week since the trial ended, and he aided Edgeworth in saving Larry from a certain death sentence. Despite being fully aware of the situation that he had put himself and undoubtedly now at the mercy of his mentor, Phoenix didn’t really care. He knew he did what was right, and what was beneficial for the two.

He sat in his office, a hand running through his hair as he sighed. Working on the case file for his childhood friend’s trial was something else. Not tiring as in exhaustion, but rather, emotionally tiring. After leaving it for so long, he was tempted to simply file it incomplete, but that would not settle right. He grabbed a pen, and began working on his notes… until a knock on the door occurred. He raised an eyebrow and looked up, coughing before he spoke.

“Yes…? The door is unlocked. You can come in.”

Manfred needed no invitation, but he awaited until he received the acknowledgement from his pupil. He’d watched the awry trial, and had concluded Phoenix had lent his aid to the defense. By those grounds, he had insisted on a retrial. A biased prosecutor made for an unbalanced verdict. If Phoenix so thought he could get his friend off the hook, he had another thing coming.

In this, Manfred shoved open the door and crossed the threshold with a confident swagger. He was delighted to drop the bomb, although the expression he face now bore was that of patent disappointment. He glowered at his student, his eyes gleaming intimidatingly.

“Hmph. I doubted that you’d have had the audacity to lock the door, Phoenix Wright.”

“I hear you intentionally flubbed the trial I assigned you to. You broke your perfect streak, against the von Karma creed. A truly pathetic spectacle, is it not?”

[vervolgd]

His heart stopped for a brief moment when his mentor entered his office. Something wasn’t right, he knew it. Then it hit him, that trial, von Karma was observing it... and something told Phoenix he wasn’t going to get away with losing his perfect win record. He had to think - and fast - to save himself from his mentor’s wrath.

“I was expecting someone else, sir.”
