Case 1: Turnabout Bicyle [Open]

[bewrightback]

Who: Phoenix Wright and yooooouuuuuu
When: December 18th, but the exact time/date can be toggled as need be.
Where: The casino, the gym and a few places in between.
What: Examine Phoenix's life as well as his choices.
Warnings: Nothing specific?

A. The Streets (Residental/Entertainment)

[Phoenix has constantly wound up missing out on public transportation and being late for work. So, he's managed to buy himself a fairly cheap bicycle (toast not included) and today is the day he tests it. He'll be trying to bike from the residential area over to the CERES Casino in the Entertainment District in time for work. Nevermind that this is in itself is more work than he'll ever actually do in the casino.

Find him as he cycles on by, or... maybe try to give him a hand when he accidentally winds up steering into the street and has to swerve around this weird futuristic traffic.]

B. CERES Casino

[Phoenix Wright works here as a pianist. The primary indication of this is that he's usually sitting by the piano. But you'll be hard-pressed to actually hear him playing, and if you do, you may notice it doesn't sound very good at all. But rather, he seems to be spending more of his time talking up the guests and settling in for games of poker. He'll also hail down servers to get himself some grape juice.

If you try to approach him with a piano-based question, you may just get this as your response:]

Sorry, I don't play requests.

C. CERES Gym

[You may also find him winding down with some exercise at the gym. He's changed out of his blue suit and into his more hobo-ish get-up, with sweatpants and a sweatshirt. He will spend most of his time on the treadmill... briskly moving at it's lowest setting.]

D. Wild Card?

[Run into him somewhere around the residential district, entertainment district or shopping district (Christmas shopping is a thing!). Also to note that he's currently also acting as a talent agent for CERES CGI Productions, so he'll be keeping his eyes peeled for anyone who happens to be openly displaying some kind of interesting talent.]

Comments

[bewrightback]

...What kind of evidence would even prove something like this...?

[psycholawgy]

Well, we have to think outside the box.

We shouldn't be thinking of what evidence you might have to prove that you went here on your own, rather, we should be looking for evidence that you shouldn't have.

Like... a text! [ Look at how much she's learned from you, Phoenix! ] Trucy might have texted you to prod you about going to the gym.

[bewrightback]

....

[He frowns as he fumbles with his Cerevice.]

She... she did, but that's just circumstantial! I was already set on going when she texted me!

[psycholawgy]

I think we should keep you in the detention center until you confess.

[ She is actually having fun right now. Sorry, Phoenix. ]

[bewrightback]

I think that goes against some of my rights... [She's having too much fun with this...]

[psycholawgy]

I wouldn't know. I'm not a detective.

[ Shrugs!! ]

Maybe you'll want to do some training with me some time.

[bewrightback]

That... would depend on the training. [And whether or not I'll be able to move afterwards...]

[psycholawgy]

Self-defense!

[bewrightback]

Oh... That doesn't sound so bad, actually. It won't be really hard, right?

[psycholawgy]

Of course not.

Do you want it to be?

[bewrightback]

No no, something not intensive sounds fine...

[psycholawgy]

Just as long as it'll be intense when you do it in real life!

[bewrightback]

I'm hoping that I won't have to use these moves in real life, intense or otherwise....

[psycholawgy]

I don't know.

[ She looks around warily, making sure there's nobody around to listen to them. ]

There are terrorists here, after all.

[bewrightback]

...Wait, what do you mean by terrorists?

[psycholawgy]

I don't know much about it, but there's a small faction that's against the CEO.

[bewrightback]

Of CERES? ...I can see how that could happen in a place like this. Is that all that you know about them?

[psycholawgy]

Right now? Yes, that's all. I've never really heard anything about the terrorists in the news. It was just something that a friend told me. They haven't made a move since... late October.

[bewrightback]

So it's been over a month... [He thinks it over.]

If they're quiet, that could really be either good or bad.

[psycholawgy]

It's pretty unsettling, but at the same time, it's also easy to forget. But I guess it's bad since they're still out there.

[bewrightback]

If they're still out there, then yeah. That's something to be concerned about and to keep our ears open for.

But I'm not sure about how some simple self-defense can help against terrorists... No offense, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

Simple...?

[ Phoenix clearly has something different in mind. ]
