[ phoenis is shuffling around in a large fridge in the kitchen. it wasn't there before, but he had only realized this earlier in the day. when he had taken a look inside, he noticed that it was FULL of soju - a different name for sake in another country - which was why he suggested taking ema out for a drink later that day. if nobody was drinking

Not unless you'd classify the crumbs I managed to shake out of my last bag of Snackoos this morning as "something to eat". *sits down in a chair at a table, content to, you know, kick back and watch him do all the work* ...And since when did that giant thing appear in here?

[snackoos_ftw]

*opens her mouth to ask if he's trying to get her drunk, but promptly closes it as soon as he asks that; she grabs her glass and pulls it back*

Kristoph was behind it, yes. He's the one who planted the fake evidence. *wonders if she should go into detail about Klavier's part in the scheme, but ultimately decides that drinking her soju is the better option*

[my_fingerpoints]

[furrows his eyebrows just slightly and sighs]

I guess one of the reasonable questions would "why?"... the case file I found only told me the bare-bone facts: He did this, and this, and that. No records as to what his motive was and why--

[realizes he's rambling and straightens up with a cough] Sorry about that.

[snackoos_ftw]

...Jealousy. *straightens up a bit, setting her empty glass back on the table; she ignores his apology, just going right into the facts* Kristoph was jealous, although he never directly said that while he was on the stand; the man you were defending, Zak... something or other, had originally hired Kristoph as his defense attorney. Zak challenged him to a game of poker, Kristoph lost, and then he was fired. Then, of course, you came in, and after you managed to beat Zak, you were hired to fill Kristoph's place. He was angry; the legendary Phoenix Wright won again, and this time all he had to do was to win a game of poker. *fiddles with the glass in her hand* ...He said all of this in court that day, and, well... you just don't forget hearing something like that, especially when it has to do with a friend.

[my_fingerpoints]

[cringes a little while listening to her explanation, and looks a little curious at the 'legendary phoenix wright' bit]

Jealousy? All that trouble and anger... over a client. I can't believe it; my life as a lawyer was ruined because of something so trivial.

[snackoos_ftw]

...It was bad, yes. And stupid. *slides her glass over to him, trying to get him to do anything but to just sit there looking like that* But it made you who you are--well, who you will be--, and that's... in a way, you know, you're the one who won; you just had to go through a few years of injustice in order to claim your victory. And without that incident, you probably wouldn't have changed the judicial system like you will.

[my_fingerpoints]

[perks up at that bit, and accepts the glass, even though he has his own right in front of him - empty, of course]

Yeeeah... that's right. I did win in the end, didn't I? It's funny, knowing what's going to happen in the future...

[downs the glass and makes a "kaaaaah" sound like those people do]

Oops, I drank yours.

[snackoos_ftw]

*rolls her eyes good-naturedly* You invite me out for drinks and then wind up downing mine? Where are your manners, Phoenix?

[my_fingerpoints]

My apologies, Miss Skye. Here, you can take mine then.

[pours her a glass into his empty glass and slides it across the table]

[snackoos_ftw]

Oh, you definitely sound like you're sorry, don't you? *but takes the glass with no complaints, lifting it to her lips....*

*...but then lowering it a bit* So are you happy now? Or is there anything else you need to know? Just thought I'd ask before you and I drink ourselves into oblivion.

[my_fingerpoints]

Well, let's see... [pours yet another glass for himself, and mulls over this while chewing on some almonds]

In regards to my life, I don't want to ask too many questions or know too much. I'm afraid it's going cause some weird... time... disturbance. If we ever escape from here, anyway. If they don't erase our memories or something, that would be pretty troublesome-- anyway!

Let's talk a little bit about you. What happened after you left after the SL-9 case?

[snackoos_ftw]

If we ever escape from here, I doubt we'd remember anything, but if we do... a rift in the space/time continuum does sound bad. Interesting, but bad.

...Me, huh? I knew you'd ask sooner or later. *shrugs* But there isn't that much to tell, honestly. After Lana's trial, I headed overseas to study abroad--those people really know forensics; they don't mess around--and I learned a lot over there; I had fun, as you can probably guess. I was thinking about staying, too, but there was someone back home... that I owed a lot to. So I packed my bags and headed back, only to fail the forensics exam, get stuck with detective duty, and find out that the person who I came back for had gone and gotten himself disbarred for some stupid reason, even though it turned out that it wasn't his fault. Isn't life funny sometimes?

[my_fingerpoints]

Oh, gosh. That's pretty awful. You gave up a pretty promising future for thi- oh. [turns bright red, and chuckles nervously. the drinks are starting to get to him a little, even if he isn't exactly buzzed yet]

Um, I'm sorry.

[snackoos_ftw]

*is still a drink or two behind whut, like I'M actually going to keep up with that XD, but with her lower level of tolerance, she's starting to turn a little pink, but she still feels relatively normal* It's not your fault; I actually ended up helping you whenever you did a little "private investigation" of your own, if you want to call it that, and I ended up helping Apollo, which... was helping you. *reaches for the soju herself this time, refilling her glass... and flashing him a rare smile in the process* ...I was just happy to see you again, really.

[my_fingerpoints]

[nods with a big smile on his face as well. fiddles with the glass again before downing half]

Yeah? So, you were happy to see me then, but what about now?

WOW he's smooth. XD

[snackoos_ftw]

Do you want an honest answer? Or do you want me to lie and say I'm absolutely thrilled? *hey, now, this soju stuff is starting to taste pretty good; she takes another swig, smirking a bit*
