MIDNIGHT/DAY 2 - suspicion

[ In the spirit of Ace Attorney, the game where murders happen but NO ONE ACTUALLY SEES THE ACTUAL THING EXCEPT FOR THE PERPETRATORS…

The night has ended. You might have ousted someone, but NOTHING HAPPENS. You go back to your rooms and you find some samurai dogs by your bedside. At least there's food. Better than nothing. But you feel tired. It's been a long and stressful day. Could you even sleep at that rate?

In the middle of the night, you might hear a loud thud. If you wake up (or if you were already awake) and check the hallway, you'll find a bust—or its remnants—by the mirror closer to the Hawthorne and Gavin rooms. The statue is coloured… pink? Magenta? Well, whatever.

Behind the bust is a body… a dead body. Yup, that's right.

If you approach it, you'll find the dead body of Myriam Scuttlebutt. There's no box, just the young girl. If you saw her without the guise of her box, you'll realise that she isn't wearing her school uniform. She has a green jumpsuit on. Her arms were raised and had some red markings on her wrist, as if her hands had been tied. An awl was lodged in her abdomen. Dried blood by her wound, as if the blood had seeped through from her wound.

Myriam Scuttlebutt has been taken out by the allies of the Bad Badger. You have all been warned. You should have expected this.

If you decide to do a headcount, you'll find that one team is missing. One team with two members in it. The room to the Engarde room is swinging open. Do you check it out?

Upon entering, you'll find Matt Engarde's corpse placed conveniently on a chair. You'd think it's Matt, anyway. He seems to be wearing the Nickel Samurai costume. He's seated with his head facing the ground. There's a scarf on his neck, placed rather too tightly. Did he did from strangulation…? By the chair is an open guitar case, and a vanity with a wine glass on top of it.

By the only mirror in the room is Simon Keye's body, hanging frrom the ceiling. Nearby is a coffee table, and an envelope with the police department's seal on it. Whoever opens it will read a letter that reads "proto badgr kill."

If you go back to the library, you'll find Myriam's mirror still standing, but it doesn't function as a mirror anymore. You'll find a portrait of Aristotle Means instead, like a huge picture frame. A huge X painted in red covers about half of the portrait. The same goes for Matt and Simon Keye's mirrors - except Simon's mirror also has Matt's face on it. L O L.

The other mirrors have names again… although if you count, there seems to be only ten teams now: ]

Well then I'd like to see your... warrant! Or whatever basis you're using to make these arrests!

[Sucks for Yew.]
arurests: (Speak up、pup!)

[personal profile] arurests 2015-03-04 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yew know it... ]

Go back to law school, or mafia school— I know your underground dealings, bucko. I don't need any warrants.
bewrightback: (sheepish)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well... Um... Okay! How about this? If I weren't Furio Tigre... What could I do to prove it to you?

[If it's asking the Judge to identify me, I'm doomed.]
arurests: (Randy Jackson has nothing on me.)

[personal profile] arurests 2015-03-04 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing. [ You son of a bitch. ]

Just finish this damn thing and pick out the bad badger. I don't care who comes out alive. Mr. Prosecutor can only get electrocuted so many times before he runs dry.

[ A pause. ]

There's no other man who can catch criminals as good as he does. He dies, the justice system is screwed.

[ Yeah, he's also insulting you right there. ]
bewrightback: (i think i'm listening)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
What... You don't mean Edgeworth, do you?!

[Dramatic pointing!]

How can you stand by and let that happen to him! If you're not going to help us... at least help him and Apollo!
arurests: (Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?)

[personal profile] arurests 2015-03-04 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me what to do!

[ That's another snarl and another step forward. ]

I already said I've no jurisdiction over all of this! I'm only here as a sub.

Mr. Prosecutor, and some other guy - he's noisy. Screw him. They're all held captive at some house. Lots of white walls over there. There's some girls, too. But they're quiet.

[ A beat as he takes a moment to consider if he should reveal all he knows. ]

Heard their names were Iris and Athena. That's all I know.

But what can a criminal like you do?
bewrightback: (you're a bloodbender phoenix)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
No

[He winces, just near of breaking at the thought.

Iris... Athena...]


Isn't there something... anything you can do or say? Please! Or... How many bad badgers are left? Do you know?!
arurests: (Bitchy McBitchFace.)

[personal profile] arurests 2015-03-04 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
...

... ... ... ...

I've said more than I should, Tigre. I was just sent here to handcuff some guilty parties and deliver pizza from some guy named Engarde.

You better catch these damn Bad Badgers, or else I'll personally get you if Mr. Prosecutor dies.

[ OK TIME TO EXIT BYE. ]

[He balls up his fists in a mix of despair and anger.

And he

He'll try to run at the mirror again.]

Daddy!

[ stop doing dumb things ]
bewrightback: (i sure raise a lot of objections)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Trucy, Daddy's following the Wolf Man into the mirror!

You're going to give yourself another nosebleed!!!

[ DAD ]
bewrightback: (you're a bloodbender phoenix)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
But... I have to find Iris and Athena! This is the only way!

...At least walk over and touch the mirror before you try to run through it!

[ >( ]

They're...in the same place as Apollo. And they already told us what we have to do to save them.
bewrightback: (sad now)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[...He comes to a stop and turns towards Trucy, then he looks down.]

...You're right. [And then he moves in to wrap her in a hug.]
feytality: I AM A MAYA AND WHAT IS THIS (What is this I don't even)

[personal profile] feytality 2015-03-04 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Nick!

[no seriously stop doing dumb things]
bewrightback: (volleyball but with objections)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Maya, I'm going to save you! [By running into a mirror?!]
feytality: BIGGEST PLOT TWIST OF THIS SERIES (There's walking in AAI?!)

[personal profile] feytality 2015-03-04 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
By running into a mirror? You'll break your nose for sure this time!
bewrightback: (i am not buying that)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
But... the Wolf Man made it this time! And they have Edgeworth and- and everyone!
feytality: she'll beat you up with her noodle arms (Does Maya have to smack a bitch?)

[personal profile] feytality 2015-03-04 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
He delivered pizza, of course he can travel wherever he wants! That's what pizza guys do! [LOGIC??!]

You're just a lawyer!
bewrightback: (can I just stop existing or)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[When did pizza guys start defying the laws of time and space...]

Fine. Then... Then I guess I really am stuck here. And they're stuck... somewhere else.
feytality: her hands look weird in this icon (Go! Fight! WIIIIIIN!)

[personal profile] feytality 2015-03-04 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[When they started delivering pizza!]

Right! So we find another way to get them out! But without leaping face-first.

[When Maya's calling your ideas wild and reckless, you know there's a problem]
bewrightback: (thoughtful | thoughts might not be serio)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-05 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, I won't try running into it. We're back to the drawing board in figuring out the magic mirrors.

[He sighs.]

Logic really doesn't have a place here at all... [His eyes do widen slightly as he says that at least; something does seem familiar. Abandoning logic, facing things that seemed magical... And what was the last thing Maya remembered again?]
feytality: (PLACEHOLDER 4: PLACEHOLDER RISES AGAIN)

[personal profile] feytality 2015-03-05 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
You should take Dahlia's parasol and smack it! That oughta do something!

[WHAT A HELPFUL SUGGESTION]

[Could this all be a coincidence?]


... Logic usually flies out the window when you're involved... but this is even worse than usual.
bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-05 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good idea, but let's be honest. Are any of us actually going to try to take that from her?

[He nods.]

You're right. It is even worse than usual. In fact, I can think of only one time when we faced something that was both absurd and utterly helpless... Labyrinthia.
