[Not too long ago, a monstrous tsunami toppled the colony of Cerealia and left the city in ruins. Today…. the city is still in ruins. Watch your step! Hopefully you weren’t headed anywhere important today because--]

You there! Where do you think you’re going?!

[-- you’re about to be dragged into something much bigger than getting a sandwich or your CyBuddy’s hair appointment.

You’ve been spotted by Natalia and you are about to get an earful.]

---

Once Natalia gives the spiel to whatever poor bystander was walking about, they’re given a hardhat along with their instructions. Then they’re set off to work and they have quite the range of places that they can see to attend to.

I » THE RUBBLE The Residential District took the hardest toll after the tsunami. Where a block of apartments once stood, there’s now only rubble and ruin – as well as fallen pieces of the platform that had just added salt to the wound. Those in this area will be given face masks as well, to accommodate for the dust, and are tasked with moving the rubble over to a sectioned off area that will be considered a new scrapyard. Take a look at the fallen tech if you’d like, just be careful not to exhaust yourselves too much!

II » THE SCHOOL Plenty of the water has receded from the school area, but it would appear that the remains of flooding are still in effect. Try not to turn the halls into a slip and slide just yet! Even though the whiteboards beg to be written on, you’re obviously here to do work…. right? Well, there’s probably something about visiting a school that can make people itch to feel young again anyway.

III » THE APARTMENTS What apartments remained have a high chance of dealing with water damage, especially those on the bottom flowers. They’re just begging to be revamped. Maybe you even find an empty one that you like and decide to claim it for yourself! Aside from that, Natalia’s left paints upon paints for a mural on the outside of the building if you feel like doing some benevolent vandalism. Please don’t draw any genitalia.

IV » THE SKYBRIDGES High above the city, others are still put to work. The standing building in the residential district (and those that are eventually rebuilt) need a more convenient way of movement, Natalia’s decided. So here’s where people are building sky bridges to connect the apartments – but for the love of god, watch your step up there or else we’ll be dealing with cleaning you up off the cement too.

V » THE GYM The once magnificent place for GAINS and and PROTEIN and BROSEPHS honing one’s strength and maintaining the temple of one’s body unfortunately caved in during the disaster. Entirely. The place is another pile of rubble and rock, but if nothing else, exercise equipment has been ordered and people who hopefully know their way around a gym have been placed in charge of restoring the gym to its former glory. It’s like its own workout just to fix it!

VI » THE SANCTUARY Hidden away in the Residential District, there’s a new, nondescript building. Upon even stepping into the premises, you’re asked to leave your CereVice at the door. However once you’re determined unbugged by CERES, there’s much hustle and bustle in here. Wire work is being done to maintain generators, tests are being run, and then there are some people making sure that the curtains match the color scheme of the couches. At least there’s apparently a buffet provided inside for all volunteers! Chill during your break time. You’ve earned it.

[He sighs.]

I guess...

You know, the only time I ever actually defended him was my very first trial. All those other times, he was just a witness.

[psycholawgy]

Woah! Deja vu, much?

I defended Junie, and it was my first case, too! We're like, one and the same, boss! Protectors of best friends!

[bewrightback]

...

Huh. I never thought about it that way. When you put it like that, I guess it does connect. [Except that Juniper is a lot more fragrant.]

I'm not sure if I'd call Larry my best, best friend, but... childhood friends, definitely.

[psycholawgy]

Seriously?

[ there's a look of disbelief on her face as she starts poking her earring. ]

What about Mr. Edgeworth? Is he your best friend?

[bewrightback]

Edgeworth? [He pauses in thought for a moment.]

I think that he could count, yeah. But we're rivals, too, so it's kind of weird.

[psycholawgy]

Just like Simon and I!

Boss, we really have a connection going on here!

[ except athena thinks that phoenix doesn't kiss edgeworth or anything, so... ]

[bewrightback]

I... wouldn't go that far, Athena. I think we have enough connections as it is...

[And it's bad enough that Aura thought we were an item!]

[psycholawgy]

Don't ruin the moment, boss!

[bewrightback]

Alright, fine. As teacher and student, we're connected and whatnot.

[psycholawgy]

It's like I'm totally following in your footsteps!

[bewrightback]

Just make sure not to blindly present evidence if you don't know anything about it. And if you get an assistant, you have to increase your budget to account for their appetite.

[psycholawgy]

You pay for Apollo's wages, so I don't need to worry about a thing when he's my co-counsel.

So... thanks, boss!

[bewrightback]

You're welcome... I guess.

Er... How's that for a lesson?

[psycholawgy]

Better than Professor Means, that's for sure.

[bewrightback]

Well... That bar is so low that I'd be very concerned about myself if I wasn't!

But you're a great student, Athena. You've already learned most of what I have to teach.

[psycholawgy]

One year's definitely not enough! I'm sure there's lots more I have to learn from you.

[bewrightback]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Athena. I'll keep you updated if any nrw lessons come to mind.

[psycholawgy]

Looking forward to it!

Maybe someday, I can get a student, too. You know, Miss Mia taught me some stuff a few weeks ago, too.

[bewrightback]

She did? [His smile gets warmer.] I'm really glad to hear that, and that you two are getting along well. She has even more tricks up her sleeve than me, after all.

And I know you'll make a great teacher someday too, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

I did teach Mr. Edgeworth judo. I'm sure I can teach fledgling lawyers what I know, too!

[bewrightback]

So you're... raising a generation of judo lawyers?

[What a bright future we face...]

[psycholawgy]

Lawyers who can fend for themselves when annoying policemen won't let them in the crime scene!

[ that's probably even worse. . . ]

[bewrightback]

Athena, maybe we should give you a lesson on assault-related laws...

[psycholawgy]

Not needed! [ PEACE. ] I know what I'm doing.

[bewrightback]

So you know that you could be arrested for flipping an officer... [Probably for flipping one off, too.]
