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: ]

[At the risk of creating yet another time paradox (there's like ten of them already anyway), Palaeno will answer that last question with a bit more accurate detail than Larry did.]

His name is Shi-Long Lang. He is one of the most respected investigators within Interpol and one of the few remaining descendants of the House of Lang.

Mr. Paleano... So you do know him.

What was wrong with him? Does he always deliver gross pizzas?
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, he doesn't. I must admit I don't know him all too well on a personal level, but his behavior seemed... off. Then again, if what he claimed is true, I suppose he has every reason to be out of sorts.

What, about Edgeworth being in trouble? Do you think that his hands are tied as much as ours?
turnaboutcoupons: (Nervous | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Not so much his own. He said that there are four hostages in total, along with the entire Los Angeles police department.
bewrightback: (not good news)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
The entire police department? [Now he's looking very uneasy.]

From what I've heard... I did know that there were four hostages. [Apollo, Edgeworth, Iris and Athena...] But this is even worse... How is that possible?

[How does an entire police force get taken hostage? I mean, even given that most of them aren't the brightest of bulbs.]
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know... All I know is that Agent Lang said that we're lucky to even be in the confines of walls and a roof. Apparently, what's going on out there is far worse.

[It's like the whole world went topsy-turvy, which is why it stings so bad that none of them can remember how they even got here.]
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
We're the lucky ones? I don't understand. Is this all because of those- those badgers?
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Badgers, or some greater force using the badgers as their spokespeople, so to speak. Who's to say who's really behind all this?
bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
A 'greater force'... If all of this really is true, who could have the resources at their hand to capture and imprison so many people? And to do all of these things that seem impossible...
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Well, Lang insinuated he was only here because other agents 'couldn't make it', meaning his appearance isn't a personal favor to Mr. Edgeworth. Knowing that much, I find it curious that Interpol is involved at all. If this were simply a local incident, I doubt they would be.

This whole thing may have some sort of international nature to it.

[Which would explain why the Ambassador of Cohdopia would be roped into it. Other individuals here, not so much. Have you pissed off any international entities lately, Mr. Wright?]
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
International...? [He thinks over, to he last case he remembers.]

No- it can't be...!
turnaboutcoupons: (Shock)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oooh, Mr. Wright had an epiphany! That's a good sign, right?]

What can't be? Did you think of something?
bewrightback: (oh boy i done goofed)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... I'm not exactly sure! But the thing is, the last case I worked on before all of this happened... It did wind up involving an international scale.
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Was anyone else here involved with that case?
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Er... Now that you mention it, yes. Both of the Blackquills were involved, Trucy was held hostage, and three of the current hostages were working on the case... and the name of "The Phantom" also relates to that case.
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well.]

Three of the current hostages... I'm assuming that includes Mr. Edgeworth. Mr. Shields works for the Edgeworth Law Firm, so that may be another connection.
bewrightback: (oh right I have a court record)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. Edgeworth was the initial prosecutor on the case until Blackquill took over for him. ...It was a weird case.

And the two who aren't Edgeworth are - they're my employees, and they played vital roles in the defense on that trial.

Mr. Shields...? Oh, is he that uncle guy? ...Wait, did you say 'Edgeworth Law Firm'?
turnaboutcoupons: (Serious | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's right. I was rather confused by the name as well. Apparently, it belonged to Mr. Edgeworth's father. Mr. Shields is running it now, or so he claims.
bewrightback: (give this one some more thought)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-04 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? I was familiar with the name and history, but I never had the pleasure of visiting or directly dealing with it. So he must have a connection to Edgeworth too, after all. It seems that everyone here I don't know at least knows him.
turnaboutcoupons: (Default | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-04 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems so. The question is, if indeed this involves some sort of international conflict, can we use that information to our advantage at all?
bewrightback: (please go on)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-05 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how we could, beyond guessing at what caused all of this. If the entire police force is gone... Maybe there some kind of an... I don't know, invasion? Maybe whatever country that backed The Phantom has made a move...
turnaboutcoupons: (Nervous | talking)

[personal profile] turnaboutcoupons 2015-03-05 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
[An invasion? Good lord.]

If it's truly something that big, there's nothing we can do but wait for it to be solved from the outside. And, well, attempt to survive, I suppose.
