estoria | Should Oldbag Acquaintence Be Forgot

Who: The Ace Attorney cast, any of their CR, and maybe gate-crashers?! Curious neighbors and other passersby won't be turned away.
When: January 1st
Where: The Wright apartment.
What: It's never too late for a new years party, except when it is.
Rating/Warning: Nothing out there just yet

[A new years party had been in the works for a while now. But the incidents with the Santa attacks plus time suddenly skipping ahead to January 1st had caught everyone off-guard. But Phoenix was convinced to go ahead with the party anyway. It's one way to help keep spirits high after what had happened the night before.

Invitations were dispersed amongst the group of people from their world (except for a certain elderly murderer, sorry Von Karma) and the friends they've made in Cerealia (and everyone is open to invite other people as well). Everything's happening at Phoenix and Trucy's apartment, which has some simple New Years banners set up alongside some surviving Christmas decorations. The Christmas tree is still up too, just in case... but all of the decorations and ornaments featuring Santa and his reindeer have already been destroyed.

Entertainment includes a karaoke machine which plays music normally when people aren't using it, and an assortment of food is set up, with people being free to have brought their own dishes and snacks. There is some alcohol there too, including the customary champagne, but likely the local adults will be trying to keep things down to small champagne samples; Phoenix prefers to respect his original world's drinking age, after all.

And, as they near midnight, the intention is to try to countdown to January 2nd as if it's the new year countdown!]

[And here's the force of nature that likely needled Phoenix into going ahead with the party, eying that champagne (Maya no) and otherwise bouncing around the party to greet everyone and check up on everyone else]

[What did she bring? Her appetite]

Let's hear it for a brand new year, free from time loops, Santa cyber-bullying and evil robots!

[No one is safe.]

[ Why Maya, you shouldn't have brought anything..

With Maya's speech, Athena can't help but hold up her glass. This seems like a good reason for a toast. ]

Yeah! You said it. Let's toast to it!

[And Maya's snatching up a glass of juice (she'll go for the champagne when Phoenix isn't looking!)]

Yeah! Cheers to us, the most awesome law firm ever!

We're not just a law firm. We're the Anything Agency. Hip hip, hurray!

Yeah! Hip hip, h--[--- A PAUSE.]

[Huh, she felt like this came up before, but...]

Anything Agency...?

You bet! [ She snaps her fingers. ]

Wait... Maybe it was the Fey Anything Agency before? Is that it?

Um... Well, Fey and Co, Law offices... and then Wright and Co.....

[???]

Is Nick branching out or something...?

We're also a talent agency!

[ So proud of it, too. ]

Hopefully CERES doesn't become more creative this year.

[Edgeworth can only think of what will happen next after the time loops, Santa cyber-bullying and evil robots.

...then again, evil robots seem to be a mainstay.]

From the sounds of it, it's just the same ol' haunted house effects, evil robots, and stuff trying to kill us as always!

[Maya, don't sound so cheerful about all this]

It's nothing we can't handle, anyway.

I'd rather have none of their morbid creativity at all.

[Take it from someone who's been here for y'know WAY TOO LONG.]

[Anything's better than the last places she's gotten kidnapped to, really...]

I bet that'd be too boring, even for you!

Anyway, let's just enjoy this morbid-free moment, sans killer robots and all?

[Edgeworth would rather have a few boring days after the recent fiasco, but anyway, she has a point. He breathes a resigned sigh, and tries to smile a little.]

You're right. We should be thankful that CERES hasn't disrupted the party.

[Not good enough. She grins widely at him, indicating at him to do the same]

Even CERES knows not to mess with fun, when it's already started like this! So whaddya say, Mr. Edgeworth? Let's party like there's no tomorrow!

[He doubts that CERES knows not to mess with fun, but he decides to keep that to himself.]

As long as we don't disturb the peace.

That's right, Mystic Maya! The new year will be great, I'm sure of it!

[ Whether it will actually be free from time loops, cyber-bullying and evil robots, she can't really say. But we can all hope.

Pearl will toast to that with her glass of fruit punch. ]

[Maya retrieves a glass herself (she'll try for champagne when Phoenix isn't looking), and clicks it against Pearl's]

That's the spirit, Pearly! Let's make our resolution be... "Take on the whole world!"

Even if it's an alien world we barely understand!

[ Now chug that fruit punch. ]

[Oh, it's getting chugged, alright]

With all sorts of weird timeline and alternate universe stuff going on!

Excuse me, I'd much rather the evil robots than some of the people here.

[ Shush Maya. Clearly you know nothing about the greatness of robots. ]

Why, so you can get deleted into the internet!?

[that's definitely how evil robots work]

Nothing is ever deleted from the internet, my dear.

[GASP!!!]

Are you saying the evil robots have a cyber warehouse somewhere where they keep all the hyperlinking cakes and arls?

[That's cookies and urls, Maya...]

... Sure. Why not. Let's say they're keeping these cakes and arls somewhere. Except because these cakes and arls are accessed by so many people who take a bit of it to their own cyber warehouses, it'll never disappear.

[ And that is how the internet works, ladies and gentlemen. ]

[Maya's learned so much]

I-I had no idea....... the secrets of the internet..... I've finally learned them!

We've got to save the cakes and arls!!
