Phoenix "Dork Age of the Law" Wright ([personal profile] bewrightback) wrote in [community profile] estoria2015-05-08 03:48 pm

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!]

[!!!] [clamps her hands down through the arm-holes before he can lift it off] [scuttling back a little bit as she gets up to yell at him]

Let go of my box! What'd it ever do to you?!

I'll admit that the idiocy of it is giving me something of a headache. How does that sound?

[Needs to be a bit more casual if one is to hide in it.]

Kahk-kahk-kahk-kahk! You're a real piece of work, you know that? If you don't like it, don't look at it! Simple as that!

[She was so worked up, she didn't even start to consider that she'd heard his voice before.]

For someone who notices the small details of everything, that's an impossible task to assign. How about you just not be anti-social?

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Kahk-kahk! Listen to this guy! Who died and made you Box King?

I'll be as anti- or pro-social as I want!

Is that so? Are you sure there isn't a way I can persuade you?

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
None! Absolutely, no way! No how! Nothing will change my mind!

... [pause]

...wait. What is it you want me to do, exactly? Kahk-kahk-kahk...

Not wear a box at a party, for one. And probably work on your memory.

Kahk-kahk-kahk-kahk! Not wear a box?! You might as well ask me to walk around without my head screwed on, or with my hands and feet chopped off!

And my memory's perfect! What gave you any doubts?

I refuse to believe that a cardboard box is required for you to continue living. Which is what would happen without a head in case that wasn't part of your knowledge.

Sss, sss, sss! A chicken may run around with its head cut-off for a little while, but it wouldn't be much of a life.

Anyway, that's a no-go idea!

[Shaking his head with a sigh.]

Fine, it's your choice if you willingly want people to think you're weird.
cardboard_journalism: (boxing-mode)

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sss, sss, sss. I think I'd rather be "weird" then give into demands from a guy I just met who touched my box without permission!

These things aren't cheap, you know. You scuff it, I send you the bill! Boy will you regret it then!

I could make you a new one for entirely free. Even a steel box, if needed.

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
--Steel? ...I dunno if you noticed, but I'm not talking out of my belly-button here. I don't even break five feet in height! No way could I carry a steel box around.

[Easy Myriam, being short had its advantages...]

Though, just for reference... how much would you want for a normal box? Made of corrugated cardboard?
swordboning: (pic#8713735)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-05-11 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing, because it's useless and you can find corrugated cardboard almost anywhere. For such a simple shape, I'd waste almost no mana.

Sss, sss, sss! Reverse psychology will get you nowhere.

Very well! I want one box, with the exact dimensions as the one I'm wearing. It must be a white color. The front side, relative, call the side I've got pointed at you right now the 'front' must be white in color, with canary yellow triangle shapes on the right and left sides. They must taper at the edges like the lapel of a jacket. In the upper middle there should be a blue circle with white markings for eyes and a smile in a "smiley face" shape.

I see. The classic test. Do you want it done in front of you or do I need to go to another room?
cardboard_journalism: (sweat-mode)

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...What? Either way is fine! As long as I get a box, I'm happy.

[Shrugging his shoulders and huffing.

Then holding out his hand. Of course, the requested box appears in his hand and he tosses it at her.

It's magic, he ain't got to explain shit.]

[SO MUCH AWE]

[pokes it a little to test if it's sturdy and real and how she asked: all good?]

[All good.

Archer does not hand out shoddy materials. Even if cardboard boxes are shoddy to begin with.]

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-05-11 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, thanks! ...I guess I owe you, now. Sss, sss.

Sss, sss, sss. Sorry to just take it and run, but I've got to deliver this right away!

[and, folding the box so she can carry it] [she'll immediately head in Athena's direction of he doesn't stop her]

[No.

No, this is going to be ridiculously amusing. Definitely just going to watch the entire thing.]
