--ooks like Pess found her present.
[Here, everyone, have a nice shot of Phoenix and Edgeworth's hotel room, which is a COMPLETE DISASTER. Complete. Disaster. Namely, there's a whole lot of wrapping paper and Pokémon and just...stuff is strewn everywhere and it USUALLY ISN'T THIS MUCH OF A MESS I SWEAR.
The Pokégear is running from where it's lying on the endtable next to the couch, so you can see Phoenix, still half-asleep on the cot he's made for himself on the couch, with a gigantic Arcanine head in his lap, and Miles, who's standing a little off to the side and who does not look amused.]
....You could have told me where you put it.
Well, I was sort of hoping to give it to her, actually. [He chuckles, reaching over to the endtable and grabbing around for the Pokégear.]
Merry Christmas. Er...there's a gift for you somewhere near the closet, but, uh...
You probably could have done that if you'd woken up at seven o'clock like I did.. I still don't know why my clock went off.... that music.
--Merry Christmas to you too, Phoenix.
[Aaaand the lawyer grins, checking the time on his Pokégear and wincing a bit. He didn't mean to sleep this late...] S-sorry. I guess I must've slept through the alarm... I do that all the time at home.
[And now, to everyone watching, guess who's finally going to focus his attention on the video feed? A still sort-of-sleepy looking Phoenix, who's giving you all a rather derpy smile. This is why you don't make video feeds when you first wake up, Phoenix.]
Merry Christmas, everyone. Er-- [He gestures towards some of the still-unopened presents, which are, presumably, the ones for Phoenix.] I didn't think I'd get so many presents... thank you to everyone who sent them. [BEAMING he is such a kid at heart sometimes, I swear...]
I still need to give everyone their presents...urk. Miles, you can watch the room for a bit, right?
[Before the kid can even reply, Phoenix is on his feet, and he clicks the video feed off.]
* [To everyone staying in Goldenrod, who's on Phoenix's
gift list! Expect a cheerful lawyer knocking on your door sometime in the early afternoon, along with his Quagsire in a Santa hat. To everyone NOT in Violet, Pidge will be making rounds...yesterday and today, actually, so you'll be recieving your presents at anytime within today.] *
[And now, a few hours later, once he's done his Santa rounds and opened his presents...here's Phoenix again, looking considerably more awake and still as cheerful as before.]
Really, everyone...thank you. I'm pretty sure I've gotten them all, er -- [He's back in his hotel room, and he gestures towards the little pile of gifts on the sofa.] There's, uh, one thing that's bugging me, though...
[He reaches over and fishes through the pile until he emerges with...a little green and yellow egg.]
It...looks like a Pokémon egg, but...who sent it, exactly?
