I got online to ask for a world-hop to work, but you know... I think I'll crawl into the fort and go back to sleep instead. It's a lot warmer in there.

I hope everyone's having a good morning!

Because a bus capable of dropping one off at a specified location and time did not exist, Phoenix was--as usual--a bit early when he arrived at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Although he'd seen the structure from a distance on several occasions, this was the first time he'd ever been in the theatre's forecourt, so he took advantage of his spare time by admiring the architecture and browsing the hand and foot prints in the cement. There were several names he recognized, most notably Hollywood greats like Clark Gable and Elizabeth Taylor. While he was never what one might consider star-struck, he had to admit that there was a sort of excitement to standing in a square of cement where someone like Marilyn Monroe had left her mark on the city forever. (Albeit a tiny mark, he mused, examining his own hand and comparing it to the considerably smaller print below.)

He really wished he'd brought his camera.

As ironic as it is, I think this Friday the 13th might be the best day I've had in a while.

What does everybody want for Christmas?

Yes, I do realize I made an FST only three days ago, but what can I say? When you're driving a car for over four hours straight, you get ideas. :|

This FST is a little different than most. Instead of collecting songs that reminded me of Phoenix/Edgeworth by various artists, I stuck with songs sung by Frank Sinatra. I have a couple reasons for this, the first of which is that my Phoenix is a huge Sinatra fan, and secondly--about a year ago--he shared that fact with Edgeworth, who has since become a closet fan himself. Not only is that something they unknowingly share with one another, but Sinatra's music just seems to fit them, and in my mind, they could easily fit into the era when Sinatra was at the height of his popularity.

Anyway, I know the fact that all the songs are sung by the same person might be a deterrent, but if you happen download it, I hope you enjoy. :) The cover art was edited from some lovely fanart by Wan-Con, whose site has long been defunct. 8(

All righty, this is my second go at a Phoenix Wright FST, and I have to say I'm much more pleased with this one than I ever was with my last one (I like to pretend it doesn't exist, sshh). Normally, I'd give explanations for why I chose each song, but the truth of it is they're all about standing up in the face of adversity, cherishing your friends, and helping others, so I figured the snippets of lyrics themselves would be self-explanatory.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

It really could happen to anybody at any time, couldn't it...

[WELCOME TO COURTROOM #3, THE SAFE HAVEN FOR THE ACE ATTORNEY CAST]

[Please grab the nearest weapon or blunt object and begin beating the life out of those undead brain-eaters.]

((OOC: I figured we could use a spam post for what's going on in the courtroom during the Zombie Invasion™. Taking place immediately after this post, I'm assuming Klavier, Ema, and Trucy are already inside, and Phoenix is just arriving with Pearl after running away from Bus!Zombies. :|b))

[ring ring, pick up the phone~]

Of all the viruses to repeat...

I just hope it doesn't have the same ramifications as last time.



((OOC: Still as slow as molasses, but I'll be trying to catch up today!))

Is it really self-righteous and arrogant to be unable to look past things you can't agree with? Where do you draw the line when it comes to tolerance?

Hey, uh... Franziska? I think there was a little problem with the invitations I sent out...

ATTENTION ACE ATTORNEY PLAYERS

I think I mentioned this to most of you. This is a general plotty post that I encourage you to track, since we're not all on at the same time. This way, if we have an idea that we'd like to get the whole AA cast involved in, we don't have to hunt each other down--we can just post it here! Plotting over AIM is still encouraged, of course; we can summarize what was talked about here for the people who might not have been involved so everyone is always on the same page.

Y/N?

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, TRACK THIS BITCH.

( WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED SO FAR )

This has to be the single strangest junk e-mail I've ever gotten.

Of the matter of snow here. Both of us have grasped
The mortal architect had brought to life,
My keyhole blows a gale
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
And beyond, the same sound of bees
A rabbit carcass in its stiffened fur.
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;

It's almost poetic.

In related news, I'm finally done catching up with all of my e-mails and voice mails. I never thought it'd take so long to get through two months of backlog, but I guess you don't realize how much stuff you get until it all piles up. At least I don't have to worry about it anymore...

Uh, Maraich? I don't think I can accept those gold pieces you gave me...

Far be it from me to think the community might be a little lenient after the past couple months, but this whole waking-up-and-finding-out-you've-missed-a-few-days-of-your-life deal is getting kind of old. I guess I should at least take comfort in the fact that I can attribute it to something this time, even if the details are a little fuzzy...

Any idea what that one was about?

( OOC Note )

[ring ring; pick up the phone, Edgeworth]



((OOC: Post-dated to tomorrow afternoon!))

Okay, I'm going to do something a little different here. Because Phoenix is, canonically, the type of person to keep notes on people, I'm going to make a file for myself that contains all the details he's learned about other characters so I don't keep forgetting them. I actually ran into this problem the other day, and I don't want to have to try to come up with an IC excuse for why he's forgotten/disregarded some information when he shouldn't have. SO. What I want you to do iiisss...

COMMENT HERE, AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK PHOENIX SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS

In return, I ask that you to tell me if what I say meshes with what you think he should know about them, and, if applicable, let me know if I've forgotten anything. I'd really appreciate it! Maybe this will allow me to make more profiles in the future! 8D

♥

ETA: Also, this can apply to any characters, even ones Phoenix hasn't spoken to. He won't know much about them, of course, but he would probably make note of whatever information they've made publicly available, if he happened to see it. :3

ETA 2: And I'm sorry for the lack of tags. I was gone most of the day, and I'm not really feeling well now, so I'll pick things back up tomorrow. <3

...That was a little too close.

I'm ready to give you an answer, ShinRa.

Comment with a 5 + 1 list and I'll write a drabble about it! Include the name of the characters, the ship (if applicable), and a general rating to go along with it.

I only have Phoenix (attorney_at_lol) right now, but feel free to ask for any of the characters I've played, if you know them.

Disclaimer: I apologize in advance if I don't follow through with these. I never know what my free time is going to be like these days, and I'm not much of a drabbler, anyway. >_>;;

So, I talked to the apartment manager...



((OOC: Backdated to last Saturday, August 29th))

...Can anyone tell me what's going on? Was there another virus? Did I... do something last night?



((OOC: Backdated to this morning, about 9:30 AM his time. All responses are assumed to be a couple hours after his phone call with Edgeworth, after he's calmed down a bit. :|b))

It’s just a dream.

Like a mantra, Phoenix repeats the words in his head, distractedly pacing the small area behind his desk, fueled by a buzzing, nervous energy. His gaze remains determinedly forward, looking out the windows at the darkened hotel across the street, or determinedly on the floor, examining the wear and tear of the carpet, or determinedly on the ceiling, where the evidence of last year’s roof leak has taken the form of unsightly water stains; the tan patterns resemble faces, he notices, barely inches apart. He pauses, blinks at them, and promptly looks away.

His gaze remains determinedly anywhere that isn’t his computer monitor, because the image of Edgeworth leaning close, his lips only centimeters from brushing against the lips of Phoenix’s dream counterpart, is still burned on the screen, right where Phoenix, in a panic, had paused the video. He catches himself glancing at it and quickly shakes his head, but the image is already burned in his mind. It has been for the past several minutes.

He knows he shouldn’t have watched it. A few of the dreams he’d seen before felt terribly private, almost as if the community had hand-picked the worst, most personal, most soul-baring dreams to put up for everyone else’s viewing pleasure (he wouldn’t be surprised to find out that was the case), and he told himself he wasn’t going to watch anymore… but Edgeworth is his friend, and Phoenix is, by nature, a curious man. It’s a nature that tends to get the best of him at times, sure, but he makes an effort to live without regrets, at least.

( Only now he’s kind of afraid he might regret this. )



((OOC: In reference to this post. Aside from whatever conversation Phoenix is going to have with Edgeworth, this will be the last you see of Phoenix for a long time, as he's going to ~disappear for a while~, thus beginning my real hiatus. 8D

Love you all~! ♥))
