 [The feed opens and, hey, look who's finally made it to Cherrygrove! Phoenix looks pretty disheveled, really. His Pokemon aren't with him, either.]

Er. Hello, uh, anyone who's getting this! This is...Cherrygrove, right? I just got here, and, uh. What do I DO, now, exactly? [He scratches the back oh his head sheepishly.] I mean, Butch and Lady are

Don't worry, that Gyarados happened in Violet.

[cheapblusuits]

Nothing that says it couldn't happen anywhere else, either. [Good job Kay you've given him a phobia of Pokemon Centers. AHAHA.]

[video]

[yattagarasu]

Handle your Pokéballs veeeery carefully and you should be fine. [ she tends to do that to people. ]

[cheapblusuits]

Not that either Butch or Lady seem to want to STAY in their Pokeballs, but thanks all the same. [He chuckles, albeit a bit nervously.]

[Well, there he is, Phoenix Wright, "Ace Attorney", his hair just as spiky as it was before Shelly popped up in Johto.

... Remember when Shelly told him he'd be willing to make him his successor? He wasn't kidding. But yeah, have a creepy old man walking up to you.]

Ah, Mr. Wright.

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[He hears Shelly call his name and he turns towards the voice, looking a bit confused for a second before he remembers the nice old man he talked to on his first day here.]

--ah! It's Mr. Doe, right? [He grins, oh my god SO HAPPY HE'S FINALLY RUN INTO SOMEONE.] And here I'd thought I'd NEVER see anyone else here. It's, uh...it's nice to meet you? Even if I kind of already have, in your case. A-ahaha... [But regardless, he holds out a hand for Shelly to shake, all full of smiles and obliviousness.]

[shellderkillder]

[How uncharacteristically affable for a lawyer... Sigh. Of course, that is only because this Phoenix hasn't met him yet. But, if they are to travel together... He'll tell him the truth eventually. Hopefully in a manner that doesn't break the time-space continuum.

He shakes Phoenix's hand with a warm smile.] How have you been doing?

[cheapblusuits]

[Yeah, and he's also going to have to deal with suddenly acquiring a daughter he hasn't met yet. And Edgeworth. Poor Phoenix.]

Er, pretty well, I guess? I got attacked by a Sentret, but it's only a flesh wound, really. [He grins, holding up his other hand, where you can see two teeny bite marks in between his forefinger and thumb.] And...well, other than that, it's been pretty mellow so far. Thank god.

How about you? Have you been in Cherrygrove all this time?

[foolishwren]

I worked at the Center while I was there.

It's boring as hell and you have to dress in the grossest pink scrubs ever, but it pays pretty well at least.

[cheapblusuits]

...good thing I decided to work at the inn, then. [He's so phobic of Pokemon Centers that the thought of WORKING there makes him shiver.]

[...oh wait, who is this girl again he has no idea.] Er, have we met? I'm Phoenix. Phoenix Wright.

[foolishwren]

... Yeeeeah, I don't think pink's your color. No offense or anything.

And uh-- oh. I guess we haven't! Heather Mason. Nice to meetcha. [She's totally lost track by this point of who's new and who's not.]

[cheapblusuits]

It...isn't, huh. [Especially considering how he knows someone who tends to wear a shade of aforementioned color and does NOT want to be associated with him, oh christ--]

Well, er. It's nice to meet you, as well, Ms. Mason. [Grins, albeit a bit nervously.]

[action]

[magical_logic]

[What a coincidence, guess who's finally leaving Cherrygrove! And desperately trying not to get spotted doing so.]

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[....AHAHA OH CHRIST this is not going to end well at all. Because unfortunetly for you, Phoenix can recognize that offensive shade of magenta wine red anywhere.

...and, well, he. Freezes. A bit shocked, really, considering how he's supposed to be kind of dead and all. After a few moments, though...]

Edgeworth?!

[action]

[magical_logic]

[Edgeworth stops dead in his tracks. He knew he should've left last night, but the prospect of sleeping in a real bed one last time before the long trip to Violet had seemed so very worth it at the time. Now, though, he's not so sure of that.

He turns to face Phoenix slowly, though he avoids directly looking at him.]

...Wright.

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[...okay, really, all he can do is gape. I mean, how else is he supposed to react? He has no idea.]

You're...I thought you'd gone off and died. [He doesn't sound angry (yet), just...utterly stunned.]
