Farewell, My Turnabout: Might Contain Deadly Amounts of Awesome
sushizuzoru once told me it felt nice to see people talking about Lana having been an awesome detective. I second her feelings here, except, you know, this time it's Shelly being awesome.
... T-That said, it's also the part that always makes me doubt my portrayal of Shelly.
I just want to say that Juan's hair looks very... touchable. Don't judge me.
Is that some stitch prejudice again? (I-I mean, uh, I love how awkward Edgeworth is~)
I'm pretty sure I didn't expect this in my first playthrough. Maybe that's why it was so awesome.
Obviously, he's only not mentioning how rude Edgeworth's tone was just to start things off in a friendly manner. :T
... I swear. It's bizarrely satisfying to see how scared everyone is.
Satisfying (is he bringing out the worst in me? Oh dear).
I'm sure I don't need to say this, but he could at least TRY to look a liiiiittle less distinctive :T;;
So... yeah. I'm not sure WHEN it was exactly that I started to like him, but I'm sure lines like these helped.
... For once, I actually asked for permission to share logs.
(16:20) Adrian:"A person who frames another is the worst kind of human being"
Worst kind of human being...
Did you really mean that.
(16:21) Shelly de Killer:...
Are you familiar with my... policy?
(16:22) Adrian:Yes, Mr. de Killer.
I am.
(16:23) Adrian:So... you admit to it.
(16:23) Shelly de Killer:Then you know that letting others be blamed for my deeds is completely unacceptable.
However... there are two points I believe you should consider. (16:26) Shelly de Killer:Firstly, I was framing you for a foul crime. While I believed my actions were justified back then, I later learned better. Mr. Engarde did not deserve my protection, and as I have said, I am deeply sorry for the slander of your name. (16:27) Shelly de Killer:Secondly, I did not even know you then. Any assumptions I might have made about you were invalid, regardless of my personal beliefs.
(16:30) Adrian:I know I shouldn't be hurting over something said so long ago... but I am. When you first contacted me again, what you said then and now feel so different. It felt just like a knife really.
(16:31) Shelly de Killer:Again, I ask you to keep in mind that I did not have full knowledge of the situation then. (16:32) Shelly de Killer:Mr. Engarde was a detestable human being and your actions were... while unnecessary, understandable.
(16:32) Adrian:I see...
(16:33) Adrian:That's all I needed to know. Sorry to bother you Mr. de Killer.
(16:35) Shelly de Killer:It's quite alright.
Though I must say... I am surprised by how much my opinion matters to you.
I was optimistic here. Really, I was. In hindsight, it was naive of me, but I thought he was going to tell the truth and everything would be fine.
And then the bomb is dropped.
Note that Shelly only lied and tried to implicate someone else after seeing Matt was under very heavy suspicion AND after nearly being caught by the police.
HELLO THERE, MORAL DILEMMAS, HAVEN'T YOU HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF TORTURING THE PLAYER YET?
"NO, NO WE HAVE NOT."
Still not pictured: Phoenix's gigantic balls.
Shelly's mood is not a good mood right now.
I'm amazed that the Judge never really gets used to it.
Can we have the exchange about Shelly's fee here? Yes, we can, because it's that awesome.
... Come on, Phoenix, what did you think people would assume?
Am I the only one who can imagine him saying that in a completely deadpan tone?
PHOENIX, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT ALREADY.
This coming from someone who believed Matt Engarde had a butler named John Doe.
And don't forget we're still very much under pressure here. Plus, while in every trial segment other than this one, the situation with Maya was just a threat in the back of your mind, here, you are talking to de Killer himself and constantly fearing that you might just rub him the wrong way.
Notes say: "- See, he's still KIND of a crappy liar :T"
... Come on. I wasn't the only one who freaking REJOICED when he finally slipped up, was I?
... I ignore it most of the time, but for some reason, it bothers me to see a radio going "...!"
Once, I made Sushi happy just by making Shelly go "OHO". But see, it's not my... thing, he really DOES do it. And if we are to believe this is an accurate representation of his facial expression at the moment, he did it while his monocle popped.
... Oh God, it literally just occurred to me that this is also a representation of what Will said previously about Shelly's face. C-CAN IT REALLY JUST FALL APART LIKE THAT?!
Wow, I'm more right than I thought I was, he really IS kind of a crappy liar. But still he must have been even more terrible when he was younger.
This has made things over at route_29 a bit difficult for me because freaking EVERYTHING in the Pokémon world is abbreviated and actually I should have Shelly find out more about than soon, HMM.
... I mean, I'm sure it will all be just manageable until he finds out Pokémon stands for Pocket Monsters.
SHELLY HAS ACHIEVED MAXIMUM LEVELS OF SCARINESS, OH GOD.
It took me a while to remember this. So I was stuck here on my first playthrough. And possibly my second.
... No, wait. Now we are at maximum levels.
I... I can't really provide any commentary here other than, well, the sound Phoenix is making.
Arrrgh, I failed to get a screenshot of Matt's smug smirk here, but it prompted a "FFFFFFFFUCK YOUUUUUU" from me.
I can't remember what I decided my first time around. And while I know now that it ultimately doesn't matter... It's still a painful decision.
(I might have edited this screenshot just a little.)
Aww, she cares. :3
MATT, YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD. SHELLY DID ALL HE COULD TO SERVE YOU WELL. >C
Ack, the missing button. I KNOW it's only supposed to be a red herring, BUT GODDAMMIT, I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT.
... I'm going to take this chance to say I got the bad ending on my first playthrough, due to sheer stupidity/tension-induced amnesia.
A-Afdsgdrhr, the wording here always makes me nervous that I might have gotten it wrong, even though I KNOW I haven't. ;;;
I-I think we can start feeling better now, guys!
... I still don't like his... "sweating" animation. Ugh.
Some people think it doesn't make sense for Shelly to have believed Phoenix so easily... But maybe all the "equipment" at Engarde's house had already set off a red flag in his head. Who knows?
Badass.
(Come on, Phoenix deserves to look this smug here.)
Now, allow me to indulge in some sadistic pleasure.
I plead not guilty even in my first playthrough because I could see the delicious breakdown coming...
... Well, I mean. I wasn't PREPARED for the face-scratching and all. That was kind of horrifying.
But goddamn, is this the most satisfying breakdown in the whole series or what?
... T-The good ending feels good. ;u;
And that's it! Mostly. I have two more asides:
This will be my first time getting this right... C-COME ON, I DON'T HAVE SHIPPING GOGGLES FOR THESE TWO, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GUESS?
Additionally, I didn't get anything from the epilogue... But it left me with a little lump in my throat once again. Sigh.
So... the doodles for 2-4? Well... I only uploaded them on DA because no normal image host would take something of this size.
I only regret not putting much effort into some answers, and nothing else.
Next time:
...
Wow, I'm done.
... T-That said, it's also the part that always makes me doubt my portrayal of Shelly.
