mistytpednaem | Farewell, My Turnabout: King Dickbag II (Reply)

Good God, this is a big one for an investigation segment. Then again... I guess we can see why.

There will be some direct transcribing from my notes on this first bit, because apparently I was spazzing like hell: "- s-sob Phoenix you youuuuuu (no I can't think of anything more coherent to say)"

(Later, I had some chocolate and I swear the spazzing stopped, for the most part. Chocolate, you are magical and now I vaguely want to read Prisoner of Azkaban again.)

I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that we get this incredibly important piece of information... from OLDBAG. Come to think of it, she ends up giving us crucial knowledge more than once, doesn't she? AAI-5 comes to mind...

Urge to hug Pearl is rising...

You know, I never remember who I have to speak to first here. Probably because this part of the case shook me up so hard I... can't really organise my memories coherently.

Sooo I'm going to say it now: Matt is one of my favourite AA villains.

He is also, however, completely detestable. I have a kind of love-hate relationship with him...

This is what you see when you try to show him Celeste's profile.

Just remember he says this before he pulls out the brandy (also note I still keep catching him mid-blink).

And apparently, my mind just gave up on making sense here:

"- The fact that Matt is the first person you see with FIVE psyche-locks really helps set the mood here...

... I-I am nervous now why am I nervous

... wait crap I don't have evidence Matt had anything to do with the bear I CAN'T EVEN DO THIS YET AAAAAAA

oh God and now I'm at the police department and IT'S WILL AND AAAAAAA why am I this nervous"

... Christ, what the hell?

This made me feel better.

This did not make me feel better.

Heck, this is the game's way of telling you "oh you'd better be prepared for what's coming," but I WASN'T prepared. And neither were most people, apparently.

I still haven't gotten around to rereading that one fic...

Adrian's sole lock provides a good contrast to Matt's. I... just thought I'd say that. ;;

"- ... oh Christ I don't have this yet either. THIS HUUUURTS."

... Welp.

... Oh God. This is the time.

He tried to give a fair warning, I suppose...

I... I've always wondered if he really does have a $3800 toothbrush. Seriously.

"... I MEAN HIS NAME SOUNDS SHADY. LIKE DUDE. WHOA. DUDE."

CAN I EXPRESS MY ANGER AT THE PEOPLE WHO THINK MATT LITERALLY HAS A SPLIT PERSONALITY NOW? PLEASE? BECAUSE IT REALLY GETS TO ME.

(On second thought, I really should have made brown and grey switch places, huh?)

I-I'll take this chance to say that I really wish T&T hadn't abused this music so much.

... Why, oh, why is that guard always asleep?

I'm not sure to what extent did he "fool" Adrian... but regardless, I always wonder how his meeting with Shelly went. Matt must have put up a damn good act.

*mentally shakes fist at*

This case is just... so good at subverting your expectations, that you find yourself having the same kind of internal conflict that Phoenix is having right now.

... Edgeworth is totally all "shut up I've already reached prosecutor enlightenment" on the inside, though.

AND NOW, TO FURTHER CRUSH THE PLAYER.

... I really want to make some sarcastic quip about the way he words this, but, uh. My sarcasm is failing me right now.

"L-Look, I know I'm in no position to argue right now, but would you please be a little more evil? Because the whole moral greyness in this case is kind of killing me."

"- ... Phoenix I know you're in shock but this is a dumb question"

... I did not remember he said it this way.

Now I feel even more right comparing him to James Bond.

... I missed the meow. But I think we should all lighten up a little now by imagining the face Shelly must have made after he heard it and slowly realised A CAT JUST GAVE HIM AWAY.

(Also it implies Shoe was close to him at the time he made the call, so I THINK I'M STILL RIGHT YAY.)

I... I just have to wonder how he forgot, you know, that bellboy he last saw with Maya. His face wasn't exactly unremarkable.

If Edgeworth is right and the kidnapping was planned ahead of time... well, it makes me want to go back to my question from the last post. :T

Yep, there we have it.

And now I can't help but wonder if Maya and Shelly ever really... talked to each other. I mean, it's likely that she got this info from Mia, but... I'm just wondering. ;;;
