Still Chen's Day Out! =^_^=

[Chaore]

> Sigh.
> Fast-forward.

You sigh.

Eventually, you reach the other side of the river. You're escorted to a building after being relieved from Saki's care. You're given a single visit to determine a lawyer.

S' a shame Marisa still hates you, apparently she studied law.

[Kasu]

> Examine possible lawyers.

[Chaore]

> Examine possible lawyers.

You do not see any Possible Lawyers! So you can't really examine them.

[Serela]

>So basically, we're picking anyone we want to be our lawyer and who will agree to do so?
>Ponder how good of a lawyer Wriggle or Yamame might be. I'd say Patchy, but she can't leave the library, can she?

[Kasu]

> The only option would pretty much be Wriggle wouldn't it?
> Ask for Wriggle to represent you.

[OkashiiKisei]

> Though Wriggle might still be a bit cross about the whole gender joke... We didn't have any such problems with Yamame (yet). On the other hand, Wriggle knows us better, and has a slightly more powerful political position. We'll just go for Wriggle.

Pretty much.

You ponder how good of a lawyer Yamame might be. She has been underground for most of her life, you're not even sure if she'd know the basic above ground laws.

Wriggle however, rules above ground. She probably has to pull out a law once or twice a day. Though most are probably her own...

Patchouli however, is the patch of god damn ouli. She has the books Marisa started on, and she probably taught Marisa what wasn't in the books. She could probably lick anyone on this side of the river without even using the word 'evidence'. She did say she left for a while before, and you're fairly certain she could reach the netherworld. Just not move on.

You choose Wriggle. I mean why the hell not? She already has the suit, after all.

[Kasu]

> "Well, lets do this."

[Serela]

Patchouli however, is the patch of god damn ouli. She has the books Marisa started on, and she probably taught Marisa what wasn't in the books. She could probably lick anyone on this side of the river without even using the word 'evidence'.

>If it isn't too late to do so, can we change our choice to Patchy then? D:
>If not, Wriggle isn't a bad choice, lets go!

[Chaore]

> "Well, lets do this."

>If it isn't too late to do so, can we change our choice to Patchy then? D:
>If not, Wriggle isn't a bad choice, lets go!

It is too late, sadly. You tell the Shinigami you're ready, and-

You are WRIGGLE NIGHTBUG. You are the acting QUEEN OF THE FOREST OF MAGIC. You are also no lawyer.

You have, regardless, been asked to defend CHEN YAKUMO. At her request, no less. You have to wonder what this girl has gotten herself into. Trouble with the Shinigami before death is unreal.

None the less, an actual trial. You're pretty sure something is amiss here, and if you could, you'd get it out of the shinigami.

Regardless, You are currently in the COURT LOBBY. The shinigami have told you Chen will be out soon. You'll have some choice words for her when she comes out.

[Kasu]

FIGHTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!
> "FFFFFFFFFFFF-"

[Serela]

You are also no lawyer.

>FFFFFFFFFF
>Wait for Chen to come out.

[Kasu]

> "DAMMIT CHEN!  WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

[Chen]

>RAEG
Or rage.

[Spidere]

> Check for any Social Links we may have with Chen.

[Chaore]

FIGHTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!
> "FFFFFFFFFFFF-"

>Fightest, Fightest, Tasukete Fightest~

You let the full grasp of the situation hit you. You barely manage to hold in an obscenity.

>FFFFFFFFFF
>Wait for Chen to come out.

You let it sink in a bit more before Chen comes out. She looks no worse for the wear than before.

> "DAMMIT CHEN!  WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

You let her have it, of course. She meeps and covers her head. "I don't know!"

>RAEG
Or rage.

You are already raging!

> Check for any Social Links we may have with Chen.

You gave up that Persona crap ages ago.

You maxed her social link, anyway.

>Your Inventory Contains:
>Stylish as all hell Suit
You had this imported from China. Don't ask how.
>Lawyer's Badge
You borrowed this from Marisa, you're sure she won't mind.
>Kicking Boots
These boots were made for kicking, and that is just what they'll do.

> I shouldn't need to tell ya she is pissed, do I?

You are a woman, and just because you hate dresses does not make you any less of one!

[Serela]

You are a woman, and just because you hate dresses does not make you any less of one!

>Yes it does
>Ask Chen if there is anything we should know before this case starts
>Afterwards, wait for it to start.

[Chaore]

>Yes it does
>Ask Chen if there is anything we should know before this case starts
>Afterwards, wait for it to start.

You calm down after a bit and ask Chen what you should know before the case starts.

"Uhm... I have absolutely no idea! I just came to the Sanzu River and they asked me to get in the boat..."

You have a bad feeling what this may be about. You heard they'd been getting more touchy about people just walking up to the River, but...

To start a trial over it?

[Serela]

>Wriggle learns a lesson:If you walk up to the Sanzu River, you die. No questions asked.

[Chen]

> Facepalm.

[Chaore]

>Wriggle learns a lesson:If you walk up to the Sanzu River, you die. No questions asked.

You're not quite sure if Chen is dead yet. But you do think this MAY be the route of the issue.

> Facepalm.

You employ the manner of expressing yourself in the most adequate manner. You face palm.

Chen looks confused. "Uh...did I say something bad?"

[Serela]

>"Well we should find out exactly what this is about after the case starts, at least..."

[Kasu]

> Clear your head.
> Take a few deep breaths.
> Take a seat.

[OkashiiKisei]

So Wriggle is no lawyer....and Patchouli could've come here all along and is apparently Phoenix Wright's ancestor....
I think I'll join everyone else now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E29iOPSxF94&feature=fvw

[Chaore]

>"Well we should find out exactly what this is about after the case starts, at least..."

You try and brighten up the situation. Chen nods.

> Clear your head.
> Take a few deep breaths.
> Take a seat.

You try to completely compose yourself again. It works marginally well. You're sure Marisa once said that making crap up and looking good was most of the job of a lawyer.

> Try and ask the several Shinigami about the case.
> If you get no answer from them, brace yourself, comfort Chen, and face the Yamas.

You try and ask a few Shinigami. They chuckle. "Oh, You'll love this case. Remember, her life IS on the line."

You comfort Chen on the imminent death that may come. She seems to need it, poor girl.

[Spidere]

> "Chen. Please. This is likely about the incident. What happened during that time, you can tell me anything. I won't get mad. We were friends for too long for me to abandon you now. Did Yukari force you to help her? Or something like that? Please Chen, you need to help me help you."

[Kasu]

> Fast-forward to case.
> Rub temples.
> "This has been one hell of a day for both of us."

[Chaore]

> "Chen. Please. This is likely about the incident. What happened during that time, you can tell me anything. I won't get mad. We were friends for too long for me to abandon you now. Did Yukari force you to help her? Or something like that? Please Chen, you need to help me help you."

You weren't there for most of it, but you have a good feeling this is what it IS about. You ask Chen what she knows.

Chen nods and begins, her voice shaking every now and then. "Well.. I think SHE did use her control over me to get me to help... A...and I specifically killed Reimu, Nazrin, Meiling, and Byakuren... t...thats all I can remember."

You really have to be worried about her mental health, currently, if shes having such issues...

> Fast-forward to case.
> Rub temples.
> "This has been one hell of a day for both of us."

You fast forward to the defense stand. You rub your temple, make your statement, and take a look at the prosecution.

Your opponent is unexpected, to take the least.

The prosecution is headed by LYRICA PRISMRIVER. While she is wearing a blouse and skirt unlike her band outfit, she manages to keep her trademark colors with a white skirt, red tie, and black blouse. You have no idea why she is hear, but this could be the lucky break you needed!
