PAYNE: There... Just finished some paperwork, and I can break for lunch. ? ? ? Where are we going to eat, Winston? UTHER: Hello, cousin. PAYNE: Uther!? UTHER: I told you I was coming, didn't I? PAYNE: I didn't know it would be so soon. UTHER: I wanted to get out of the country before I started being recognized from the newspapers. I lost to that new defense attorney. That... that... PAYNE: Rookie? UTHER: ...Yes. My perfect guilty record, ruined! So I left Ireland to get a fresh start in America. ? ? ? The darkness that manifests in you prosecutors' hearts in seeking such a ridiculous record... UTHER: Who's there!? ? ? ?: I've been sent to this office looking for Prosecutor Payne. PAYNE: W-what do you want with me what did I do!? UTHER: You're going to have to be more specific and give us some reasons. ? ? ?: Who are you. UTHER: You should introduce yourself first, seeing as you're illegally entering the office of a public prosecutor. ANZAM: I am Anzam. I have been sent by Dr. James Lupe to get a prosecutor for a case. PAYNE: Big wolf guy! UTHER: I'll take your case, Mr. Anzam. I am Prosecutor Uther Payne. Let's go, Winston. PAYNE: Why me!? UTHER: Because you're almost certainly the one they're actually looking for. Let's go. Examine UTHER: (Winston has this window, but it's completely blocked by a billboard for a children's show...)PAYNE: That's the Steel Samurai, defender of Neo Olde Tokyo! UTHER: Don't tell me you watch the show. PAYNE: Of course! I've heard Edgeworth watches it, and I have to be caught up with all the trends and fads in this office! Examine UTHER: Not much work on this desk, is there...? PAYNE: Hey! Don't look at- UTHER: "A letter of apology to the court, for breaking down into tears and screaming 'rookie' repeatedly after my last trial." PAYNE: ... UTHER: ... Examine PAYNE: I see you noticed my little diorama. UTHER: What is... why... what. PAYNE: When I finally beat Phoenix Wright, I will sell this commemorative playset! UTHER: ...Why is the judge Santa Claus!? PAYNE: Well, I don't know yet what judge I'll have for my winning trial, do I? UTHER: (I really think we need to stop discussing this. Immediately.)Talk to ANZAM: You seem to think that I have something to say to you. Examine UTHER: (Time to leave?){Yes} ((Go to next part)) {No} ((Stay in this part)) July 10, 2010 1:30 PM NST Icy Taco HotelPAYNE: What just happened what was that I'm scared are you going to eat me I want my mommy- UTHER: Be quiet for a second so he can explain. ANZAM: Thank you, Uther Payne. As I already told you, you're here for a case. However, you can probably guess based on my appearance and your mode of travel... This is not an ordinary world. PAYNE: A different world!? UTHER: I can handle it. I was looking for a change of scene. ANZAM: Well... try handling this. ANZAM: The defendant is Andrea "Bluegoff" Bluestone. She is James Lupe's girlfriend. UTHER: He sent you to find someone to prosecute his girlfriend? ANZAM: He said that Winston Payne is almost certain to lose, but his direct orders were only to find Prosecutor Payne, which could refer to you. PAYNE: H-hey! UTHER: So you want me to lose? ANZAM: Correction: I don't care. James' relationship with Andrea is hindering our plans. UTHER: What is she accused of? ANZAM: I can only assume murder. This is an appeal, she already received the death penalty. UTHER: So she's getting an appeal when she's on death row? ANZAM: You misunderstand me. She has already been executed. PAYNES: What!? ANZAM: Death... means nothing in this world. Andrea is going to be revived soon, and James wishes to have a trial for her. UTHER: I... see. PAYNE: I don't! ANZAM: You needn't worry, then. You won't be taking the case. Now go, Winston Payne. James Lupe is in the main area of the suburb right now. UTHER: I'll be staying here. Even if the good doctor finds out that I'm the prosecution, he can think I'm just like Winston. ANZAM: That may be wise. Good luck, Paynes. Examine UTHER: Locked! I wonder if there's some secret way to open it... UTHER: Open to Prosecutor Uther Payne, infernal door! UTHER: ... Oh, I see, that button there opens the door. Examine UTHER: That... is a large couch. I wonder what kind of people they get at this hotel... I've seen the wolf man, but... Examine UTHER: Let's see what's on the television... This channel is on commercial, but I can still learn about their culture this way... UTHER: Manly Cereal? Who would ever buy- No, I shouldn't tempt fate, otherwise Winston will come back with ten boxes of the stuff. UTHER: Bettyming's Burgers, though? Other than the... somewhat strange... commercial, it seems to be a respectable business. ? ? ?: I CAN SEE YOUUTHER: What the-!? ? ? ?: WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BURGERSUTHER: Not anymore! Examine UTHER: Ugh. I've still got a little jet lag from the flight. {Take a nap before Winston gets back.} ((Move on to next part.)) {Keep looking around the room.} ((Stay in this part.)) Later 9:45 PM NST Icy Taco HotelUTHER: Welcome back, Winston. Did you have fun? PAYNE: Mrrph... UTHER: Long day? PAYNE: I don't understand why they kept hitting me... UTHER: ... Do you have any information on the case? PAYNE: They've made their plans to revive her... they need to get her from a dimension called Hammerspace, apparently... UTHER: Do you know who the defense is? PAYNE: He's a sock... UTHER: I'm sorry, I don't know American slang too well... What does that mean? PAYNE: He's an actual living sock puppet... Can I sleep now...? UTHER: ... Sure. But first, can you mark on my map where the police department is? PAYNE: Here you go. Oh, one last thing... UTHER: Oh? PAYNE: Before she was executed... the defendant already pled guilty. UTHER: What!? PAYNE: Zzzzzz... UTHER: (Winston did a lot of research for me... But we'll have to head to the police department after the revival to hear what they say.)

July 11, 2010 10:30 PM NST Icy Taco HotelUTHER: Welcome back, Winston. It's late, did something happen-? PAYNE: It's Armageddon out there! It was practically a war! UTHER: ... I think we should go to the police department. PAYNE: That may be a good idea... UTHER: Let's go. July 11, 2010 11 PM NST Outside the TTPDUTHER: ... "Closed due to Armageddon. Sorry for the inconvenience." PAYNE: They're probably investigating back at the Icy Taco. UTHER: ... Fine. Can we just go start investigating somewhere? July 11, 2010 11:30 PM NST Ravaged BattlefieldUTHER: Finally, a police officer. Excuse me, sir- ? ? ?: 'Ey there. Who might you be? UTHER: Prosecutor Uther Payne, in charge of the Bluestone case. Who might you be? SMOKEY: Bluegoff's case? Didn't know there was one. Anyway, most call me Smokey. UTHER: Andrea Bluestone will be getting a retrial, from what I've heard. SMOKEY: I think you've heard wrong, then. We aren't too worried about Bluegoff when we've got exploding demon midgets to deal with. UTHER: ... (What.)PAYNE: Maybe we should do some investigation on this? UTHER: I suppose... ~Begin Investigation~ PAYNE: Yes, Uther? UTHER: What's all this about Armageddon? PAYNE: I don't really understand it myself... The Writers are a group of people with connections to different people from the suburb. They can roll dice to summon them... which sometimes include dangerous criminals. UTHER: !? PAYNE: Those dice summoned someone named Nightmare, someone named Evilworth, and an evil spirit who sounded extremely familiar... UTHER: I see... PAYNE: Nightmare was destroyed, but the other two got away. UTHER: Do you notice anything, Winston? PAYNE: Well, there's that gigantic patch of scorched land! And that sword! UTHER: Good. Your glasses are working well. I was hoping for something beyond the obvious, but okay. UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge, a symbol that I am a professional. PAYNE: Badge buddies! I think mine is shinier than yours. UTHER: ... (Presenting my badge to another prosecutor isn't very productive...)PAYNE: Hey, that's me! I look pretty handsome in this. I don't know why the ladies are all over Edgeworth instead of me! UTHER: Uh... PAYNE: Sorry, what were you going to ask? UTHER: I can't remember... It probably wasn't important... UTHER: What do you think of this Anzam guy? PAYNE: I just... get a sense of evil from him. UTHER: Good... so it isn't just me. UTHER: Have you found out anything more about the defendant? PAYNE: I met her boyfriend, that Doctor Lupe guy. Plus, like I said, she turned herself in the first time. It would take an absolute rookie to lose this! UTHER: (Have you forgotten that the doctor specifically requested you for the task of losing?)UTHER: So, this guy is from the local police? PAYNE: There's at least one detective from Los Angeles here too, and he didn't even know about the Tabloid Town Police Department. UTHER: Odd... I wonder how that's possible. SMOKEY: 'Ey there. UTHER: So, tell me about your police department. PAYNE: One of the detectives from Los Angeles didn't even know it existed! SMOKEY: That means we're doing a good job, eh? Staying out of trouble. UTHER: Isn't trouble where policemen are supposed to be!? SMOKEY: Why should we be, if you chaps from L.A. are handling the criminals for us? UTHER: ... (I hate to say it, but he has a point...) Armageddon?UTHER: What's this talk about Armageddon? SMOKEY: Well, I've heard these crazy theories about some stuff that'll go down in 2012- UTHER: I meant today! SMOKEY: Oh. Well that midget Nightmare, copycat Evilworth, and floating voice redfont all showed up causin' trouble. Here we gotta clean up the mess from when Nightmare exploded. UTHER: Exploded!? SMOKEY: Yeah. 'E got stabbed with a holy sword and burst into flames. UTHER: (I think I need to ask more about this Nightmare guy.)Nightmare?UTHER: Tell me what you know about this "Nightmare". SMOKEY: Have you ever heard the phrase that "big things come in small packages"? UTHER: Yeah...? SMOKEY: Well, it wouldn't matter to 'im how big a package was, he'd try to destroy it. UTHER: (I think Smokey lost his metaphor there...)SMOKEY: You two met Hunter Frost? PAYNE: The defense attorney? SMOKEY: That'd be the one. Nightmare came out of one of his dreams, claimin' to be Doc Lupe. O'course, Doc isn't a blond midget with nightmare powers. UTHER: Nightmare powers!? SMOKEY: He can transform into anything from a dream. Or he could, before he exploded. Apparently Frost got that holy sword in a dream too, and Amidimaru used it to finish off the little demon. UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge. SMOKEY: So? UTHER: So, it means I'm a professional! SMOKEY: Those badges are a dime a dozen around here. UTHER: ... (So much for respect for the law...)UTHER: What do you know about Anzam? SMOKEY: Anzam? He's in Doc Lupe's pack. He's what you'd call a Heartless. UTHER: Heartless!? SMOKEY: Somethin' like if you lose your heart to the darkness, the darkness forms a Heartless. Anzam can control darkness, so don't get on his bad side. UTHER: ... UTHER: What can you tell me about the defendant- SMOKEY: I'm telling you, there's no case. Poke around here if you want, but I'm not worried about Blues right now. UTHER: Tell me about yourself. SMOKEY: Not much to tell, I'm not too important. SMOKEY: I can't tell you much about them. Examine UTHER: So this is that "holy sword"? PAYNE: That made Nightmare explode, yeah. UTHER: (I can't say I believe that, but it seems an important piece of evidence.)~Holy Sword added to the Court Record!~ Examine UTHER: So this is where Nightmare... PAYNE: Exploded, yes. UTHER: ... (This world does not make one bit of sense.)~Nightmare's Burn added to the Court Record!~ ~~~~~ UTHER: Well, I think that's all the investigation we need to... huh!? PAYNE: There's a portal opening up! UTHER: Let's check it out. Examine UTHER: Whoa! UTHER: What's going on!? ? ? ?: Who... killed... me... UTHER: Who are you!? ? ? ?: Don't you know...? NIGHTMARE: My name... is Nightmare. My memory is a bit... broken... I'll tell you what I remember... But you have to fill in the gaps...

~TESTIMONY~ What I Remember... NIGHTMARE: Earlier today, I believe... NIGHTMARE: Evilworth and... redfont showed up to the Taco, along with myself. NIGHTMARE: I was attacked by someone, but I can't remember who... ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ NIGHTMARE: Earlier today, I believe... UTHER: This is what people are referring to as the Armageddon, correct? NIGHTMARE: I can imagine so, but I can't tell you for sure... NIGHTMARE: Evilworth and... redfont showed up to the Taco, along with myself. UTHER: Redfont? NIGHTMARE: I believe the name she gave was... Melissa Foster. NIGHTMARE: I was attacked by someone, but I can't remember who... UTHER: You can't remember at all? NIGHTMARE: That's what you need to fill in, prosecutor. NIGHTMARE: That... doesn't seem RIGHT. UTHER: (Argh! That hurt! Did he just attack me!?)NIGHTMARE: I was attacked by someone, but I can't remember who... PRESENT PROFILE: Amidimaru Oshiro UTHER: I've been told who attacked you. NIGHTMARE: Oh...? UTHER: Amidimaru. NIGHTMARE: That's right... It's coming back to me now... ~TESTIMONY~ Amidimaru Oshiro NIGHTMARE: Amidimaru was one of the last characters to be summoned... NIGHTMARE: Hunter was tossing his dice like crazy, trying to find somebody useful. NIGHTMARE: I know there was something special about the sword, but I can't remember what... ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ NIGHTMARE: Amidimaru was one of the last characters to be summoned... UTHER: Summoned? NIGHTMARE: With the dice. The Writers can summon us with their magic dice. Haven't you heard already? NIGHTMARE: Hunter was tossing his dice like crazy, trying to find somebody useful. UTHER: Useful? NIGHTMARE: To finish me off. He wasn't going to do it himself. NIGHTMARE: I know there was something special about the sword, but I can't remember what... UTHER: Something special? NIGHTMARE: Yes... can you tell me what it was? NIGHTMARE: I know there was something special about the sword, but I can't remember what... Present: Holy Sword UTHER: I happen to have the sword in question with me. NIGHTMARE: Oh? UTHER: From what I understand, both you and it came from dreams of Hunter Frost. On top of that, this sword is supposedly holy. NIGHTMARE: Good job, good job... There's only one thing I'm curious about now... ~TESTIMONY~ One Last Thing NIGHTMARE: Amidimaru Oshiro stabbed me with the holy sword, I know that much. NIGHTMARE: I remember though, as I was dying... NIGHTMARE: ...something unusual happened. But I can't remember what it was... ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ NIGHTMARE: Amidimaru Oshiro stabbed me with the holy sword, I know that much. UTHER: You do remember that now? NIGHTMARE: I remember it like it was yesterday. Problem is, it was earlier today. NIGHTMARE: I remember though, as I was dying... UTHER: ... NIGHTMARE: Can't think of what to ask, Prosecutor? I know it's unusual to speak to a dead man. NIGHTMARE: ...something unusual happened. But I can't remember what it was... UTHER: Something unusual? NIGHTMARE: Yes... can you think of anything like that? NIGHTMARE: ...something unusual happened. But I can't remember what it was... Present: Nightmare's Burn UTHER: I know what you're talking about. NIGHTMARE: Do you? UTHER: Apparently you... exploded. NIGHTMARE: Ah... That's right. The sword caused me to burst into flames. So, Prosecutor, do you know what this cross-examination led you to prove? UTHER: Excuse me? NIGHTMARE: I was murdered by some crazed vigilante. You have plenty of witnesses, plenty of evidence. UTHER: ! NIGHTMARE: Find my murderer, you know his name: Amidimaru Oshiro. PAYNE: Uther!? What happened!? Y-you just vanished! UTHER: No problem, new lead, new case. We're going to go find and arrest the murderer of Nightmare: Amidimaru Oshiro. SMOKEY: That's a good one, spikes. Arrest a ghost for the murder of a thought, good idea. UTHER: It's a murder nonetheless. SMOKEY: Death is cheap here. Just ask a dead man, you'll find 'em all around. UTHER: Maybe I will. Thank you for your cooperation, officer. ~To Be Continued~

July 12, 2010 12:00 AM NST Edge of the Icy TacoUTHER: I'm beginning to think that this place is completely insane. ? ? ?: Get away from me! ? ? ?: COME BACKPAYNE: What was your first clue? UTHER: Well, the thing we can do is treat this place like an asylum, and study the habits of the patients. ? ? ?: I can help, I'm really patient! And you can prescribe me all the drugs you want, doctor! PAYNE: A ghost! MOON: I'm Keith Moon! UTHER: (Wasn't he the drummer for The Who?) It looks like we've found our first patient. ~Begin Investigation~ PAYNE: Yes, Uther? UTHER: Notice anything, Winston? PAYNE: Other than the ghost? I think that guy who ran by dropped something. PAYNE: Are you sure you're qualified to diagnose these people as insane? UTHER: It was more or less a metaphor. Everyone has habits that can be spotted, whether they be visual habits or speech habits. I'll demonstrate on... Mr. Moon. UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge, a symbol that I am a professional. PAYNE: Badge buddies! I think mine is shinier than yours. UTHER: ... (Presenting my badge to another prosecutor isn't very productive...)PAYNE: Ack! Get that thing away from me! I don't want to explode! UTHER: Unless you're an evil being of some sort, I find that highly unlikely! (Besides, I'm not quite frustrated enough yet to stab you with a sword.)PAYNE: Looks like Nightmare got burned! UTHER: That was useless, idiotic, and uncalled for. PAYNE: Hey, that's me! I look pretty handsome in this. I don't know why the ladies are all over Edgeworth instead of me! UTHER: Uh... PAYNE: Sorry, what were you going to ask? UTHER: I can't remember... It probably wasn't important... UTHER: What do you think of this Anzam guy? PAYNE: I just... get a sense of evil from him. UTHER: Good... so it isn't just me.

PAYNE: There's at least one detective from Los Angeles here too, and he didn't even know about the Tabloid Town Police Department. UTHER: Odd... I wonder how that's possible. UTHER: This is our murderer. PAYNE: Doesn't it seem wrong to go after someone for destroying an evil being? UTHER: We can't let vigilante justice take the place of the courts. UTHER: Our victim. PAYNE: He hardly seems like an innocent victim to me! UTHER: Who can you truly say is innocent, Prosecutor Payne? UTHER: This... man is claiming to be Keith Moon? PAYNE: Who? UTHER: Exactly. PAYNE: Wait... huh? I don't understand... MOON: Are you a backwards carrot? UTHER: Now we must begin looking for habits. PAYNE: How do we do that? UTHER: First, we must find a pattern in his actions. An unusual expression or speech pattern when they are talking about a specific subject. When we've established that, we can connect that to his other statements to figure things out. PAYNE: I... think I get it? UTHER: Let's go through two of his statements and I'll show you what I mean. Keith MoonUTHER: So... you say that you're Keith Moon. MOON: Yeah, drummer for The Who. UTHER: ...Wouldn't you be dead, then? MOON: Yep. UTHER: So... how are you here. MOON: ... Bettyming summoned me. She's my Writer. oh god she can see me now can't sheUTHER: ... I see. I think. MOON: and so can sheAmidimaru OshiroUTHER: We're investigating Amidimaru Oshiro. Do you know him? MOON: Oh yeah, we're best pals, he always used to play "die you tripped out idiot" with me. UTHER: ...So how do you know Mr. Oshiro? MOON: I went to go live with The Lupe Pack at one point. Doc gave me a job. UTHER: At one point? MOON: ... Bettyming kicked me out. please stop looking at me like thatUTHER: ... (I can see why.)~~~ PAYNE: Now what. UTHER: Well, I've noticed a specific habit he has when talking about a specific person. First, find one of the statements where this habit is shown. Then, press the Sanity Menu button. Keith MoonMOON: ... Bettyming summoned me. She's my Writer. oh god she can see me now can't sheUTHER: (Now... is this a visual or speech habit?)UTHER: Now, I just need to find another statement that fits. (Choose any other statement)PAYNE: I don't notice a pattern there. UTHER: I guess I was mistaken. {Speech}UTHER: Now, I just need to find another statement that fits. PAYNE: I don't notice a pattern there. UTHER: I guess I was mistaken. Amidimaru OshiroMOON: ... Bettyming kicked me out. please stop looking at me like thatUTHER: Mr. Moon seems to have a speech habit when he is talking about... PAYNE: I don't notice a pattern there. UTHER: I guess I was mistaken. PRESENT PROFILE: Bettyming UTHER: Mr. Moon! MOON: Captain Crunch! UTHER: You seem to have an odd habit when you talk about your Writer, Bettyming. MOON: if you think about her SHE CAN SEE YOUUTHER: And that, Winston, is how you find a habit. PAYNE: How is that helpful? UTHER: Let's investigate a little, then talk to him again. We might get some interesting reactions out of the evidence. ~~~~~ Examine UTHER: It almost looks like this tree has a face, but it's probably just one of those decorations. PAYNE: Are you sure? I think I just heard it snoring! Examine UTHER: Hmm, what's this? PAYNE: A business card? UTHER: "Lupe Pack Mercenary and World Conquerers, Doctor James Lupe, M.D.: Medical Doctor Without Hippocratic Oath." PAYNE: That's... that's certainly... UTHER: ...Odd. ~Lupe Pack Business Card added to the Court Record!~ MOON: Are you a backwards carrot? UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge. It is a symbol that I am a professional. MOON: It's so shiny... Can I have it? UTHER: Of course not! This is an important possession! MOON: But we love each other! The Man can't tear us apart now! UTHER: ... ~Prosecutor's Badge married to Keith Moon!~ MOON: This is a really nice gift! UTHER: It's not for you! MOON: Hey, look, it's Doc's demon puppy. UTHER: (I'd agree with the demon part... not so much the puppy part.)MOON: Isn't that Doc's girlfriend? She was Blues and I played rock, I think that's why we didn't get along. UTHER: ... (What.)MOON: We're best pals, he always used to play "die you tripped out idiot" with me. UTHER: ... You told us that already. MOON: Do you have any Brain Bleach on you that I could drink? UTHER: What. MOON: HEY LOOK IT'S DOC UTHER: Not it isn't! MOON: But... but... he said he was Doc... MOON: HOW'D YOU TRAP ME IN THERE UTHER: ...Huh? MOON: Don't worry me, I'll save me! UTHER: Give me that back! MOON: PUT THAT AWAY SHE CAN SEE YOUUTHER: ...Right. Forgot. ...Sorry. (Wait, why am I apologizing!?)MOON: I probably knew them at some point but Brain Bleach makes it hard to remember things. PRESENT: Lupe Pack Business CardMOON: Yeah, I was in the Lupe Pack once. MOON: Doc said he lost count of how many times I destroyed Lupe Manor, but he fired me when I offered to help him with his maths. MOON: I saw Doc run by just now being chased by... oh gosh I don't want to say her name but she can probably see me anywayUTHER: We've already established your habit, Mr. Moon. MOON: Habit? I'm a drummer, not a nun! UTHER: The one chasing Doctor Lupe... was your Writer, Bettyming! MOON: WHOAYOUMUSTBEAMAGICPSYCHICSPARKLYFAIRYMAN PAYNE: Uther... how was that helpful? UTHER: Well... It wasn't, but it demonstrates how habits can reveal more information. Including in the cross-examination of witnesses. PAYNE: I see!UTHER: Mr. Moon! Testify- MOON: Testify!? I swear I didn't blow up those toilets! UTHER: ... Tell me what you know about The Lupe Pack. MOON: Oh, okay.

~TESTIMONY~ Loopy Lupe Loop Loop-de-Loops! What Was I Talking About Again? MOON: The Lupe Pack has seven members! I think. I can usually count to seven. MOON: Doc is the leader, and he always wears a big white coat. MOON: Amidimaru is a ghost, like me, and we were best buddies! MOON: Anzam was Doc's demon puppy. MOON: Rijkard was always making bets against me. He underestimated me. MOON: Nero always let me borrow his motorcycle. MOON: Block never let me touch his fun weapons, though. MOON: I dunno much about Umbreon, since she was never there. MOON: Doc's girlfriend was there a lot, too... Purplescoff? ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ MOON: The Lupe Pack has seven members! I think. I can usually count to seven. UTHER: Seven members? MOON: All across the sky~ UTHER: (Well wasn't that useful.)MOON: Doc is the leader, and he always wears a big white coat. UTHER: A white coat? MOON: He says it's a coincidence that he looks like those people who used to try and drag me away. UTHER: I... see. MOON: Aren't you supposed to shout that? MOON: Amidimaru is a ghost, like me, and we were best buddies! UTHER: Let me guess, you two played "die you tripped out idiot". MOON: HOW DID YOU KNOW UTHER: You told me so every single time I asked you about Amidimaru! MOON: Anzam was Doc's demon puppy. UTHER: ... "Demon puppy"? MOON: I don't think he liked me. ... Or anyone else. UTHER: I kind of got that impression myself... MOON: Rijkard was always making bets against me. He underestimated me. UTHER: "Underestimated you"? MOON: He said stuff like... "I bet Keith isn't going to try to destroy the house again after that!" UTHER: ... MOON: Nero always let me borrow his motorcycle. UTHER: He let you borrow it? MOON: He didn't try to stop me! UTHER: ... MOON: ... He wasn't able to stop me! MOON: Block never let me touch his fun weapons, though. UTHER: I'm hardly surprised at that! MOON: Don't worry, though, I can always get some dynamite. UTHER: That worries me considerably! MOON: I dunno much about Umbreon, since she was never there. UTHER: Umbreon? MOON: Doc's Pokémon. UTHER: (The doctor plays video games?)MOON: Doc's girlfriend was there a lot, too... Purplescoff? UTHER: ... "Purplescoff"!? MOON: It might have been Greensnark. I don't know. So many colors, man~ UTHER: (For my sanity's sake I'm going to assume that the last thing he said was related to the name confusion.)UTHER: This clearly proves you wrong! MOON: OH MY GOSH YOU'RE RIGHT PAYNE: Uther... that doesn't prove anything. UTHER: ...I guess you're right. MOON: Play him off, me! UTHER: I know your habit, Keith Moon, and it shows the truth of your statement! MOON: Whoa! Really!? What was I saying!? PAYNE: Uther... that has nothing to do with his habit. UTHER: This is my first time trying this strategy, I suppose... MOON: Play him off, me! MOON: Doc's girlfriend was there a lot, too... Purplescoff? PRESENT PROFILE: Bluegoff UTHER: I'm afraid you're mistaken on the name, Mr. Moon. MOON: I am!? What is my real name, then!? UTHER: ...I meant that you were mistaken on the name of Doctor Lupe's girlfriend. MOON: Aw man. I thought I had a cool secret name or something. UTHER: Her name is Andrea "Bluegoff" Bluestone. MOON: I knew it was one of those color things. Can I leave now? UTHER: Not yet. I'd like to hear more about what specifically happened when you were staying with Doctor Lupe. ~TESTIMONY~ Best Roommates Ever MOON: Patton, Orwell, Huxley, and... Bettyming stop looking at me all wanted me to move out. MOON: They wanted me gone so much that Doc and I had the same Writer for a little bit! MOON: Doc didn't let me get to my goal of destroying his house 100 times, though. MOON: Eventually Doc kicked me out too, and here I am! ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ MOON: Patton, Orwell, Huxley, and... Bettyming stop looking at me all wanted me to move out. UTHER: More ghosts? MOON: Nah. Patton, Orwell, and Huxley were robots. UTHER: (I'm not sure which one is more ridiculous.)MOON: They wanted me gone so much that Doc and I had the same Writer for a little bit! UTHER: The same Writer? MOON: Yep! UTHER: (There's something odd about this statement, but I can't figure out what...)MOON: Doc didn't let me get to my goal of destroying his house 100 times, though. UTHER: ... I wonder why. MOON: IT'S BECAUSE HE LIKES TO CRUSH PEOPLE'S DREEEAAAAMS UTHER: ... No, I don't think that was it. MOON: Eventually Doc kicked me out too, and here I am! UTHER: In the forest? MOON: Ghosts don't need a fancy place to stay, and the hotel doesn't let me stay there anymore. UTHER: (I'm not surprised.)MOON: They wanted me gone so much that Doc and I had the same Writer for a little bit! UTHER: I noticed something interesting about that statement. PAYNE: Uther, his habit wasn't in that statement. UTHER: That's exactly what I noticed, despite the fact that we've established that whenever he talks about his Writer, Bettyming- MOON: SHE CAN SEE YOUUTHER: Which means... When you said you and Doc had the same Writer, you were talking about somebody else! MOON: You're good! Doc and I were both written by Hunter Frost for a little bit. UTHER: Tell me more about this "Hunter Frost", please. ~TESTIMONY~ Hunter! MOON: It was pretty fun being with Hunter's characters. It was easier to run Awesomelaska. MOON: Hunter let me stay with Doc during that time. MOON: Eventually, though, Hunter gave me back. MOON: I can't remember what his job was... I think it involved waving around something shiny and saying he was a professional? ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ MOON: It was pretty fun being with Hunter's characters. It was easier to run Awesomelaska. UTHER: Awesomelaska? MOON: Glitchio and I used to have our own country. UTHER: ... MOON: That was before the civil war, though... MOON: Hunter let me stay with Doc during that time. UTHER: What did the doctor say to that? MOON: He was speechless with joy! UTHER: (For some reason, I doubt that was joy.)MOON: Eventually, though, Hunter gave me back. UTHER: To Bettyming? MOON: WOULD YOU STOP SAYING HER NAMEUTHER: ... MOON: I can't remember what his job was... I think it involved waving around something shiny and saying he was a professional? UTHER: What kind of job would require that? PAYNE: I have a feeling you should know, Uther... MOON: I can't remember what his job was... I think it involved waving around something shiny and saying he was a professional? PRESENT: Prosecutor's Badge UTHER: I think I have an idea of what you're talking about. MOON: Cool. UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge. It is a symbol that I am a professional. MOON: YOU DID IT PERFECTLY except he had a round gold one. UTHER: That means Hunter Frost is a defense attorney. Well, Winston? PAYNE: Well what? UTHER: We can probably find his office pretty easily and we can go there tomorrow. I have a plan. ~To Be Continued~

July 12, 2010 4:00 PM NST Frost & Co. Law OfficesPAYNE: Where are we going with this...? UTHER: You'll see. ? ? ?: The Paynes? Wasn't expecting that... UTHER: How did you know who I was!? HUNTER: Let me introduce myself. I am Hunter Frost. I know you because I am your Writer. HUNTER: However... we have a problem. We weren't supposed to meet yet... Though these things usually sort themselves out. UTHER: I... see? HUNTER: Once that catchphrase of yours gets better known, you probably won't want to say it as much, oddly enough. UTHER: ... Do you mind if I take a look around? I'll return with a search warrant if necessary. HUNTER: You're working with things you don't understand, but okay. ~BEGIN INVESTIGATION~ PAYNE: Yes, Uther? UTHER: Notice anything, Winston? PAYNE: No, because you haven't told me what we're doing here. I suppose you could check the filing cabinet for... whatever you're looking for? UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge, a symbol that I am a professional. PAYNE: Badge buddies! I think mine is shinier than yours. UTHER: ... (Presenting my badge to another prosecutor isn't very productive...)PAYNE: Ack! Get that thing away from me! I don't want to explode! UTHER: Unless you're an evil being of some sort, I find that highly unlikely! (Besides, I'm not quite frustrated enough yet to stab you with a sword.)PAYNE: Looks like Nightmare got burned! UTHER: That was useless, idiotic, and uncalled for. UTHER: What do you think of this? PAYNE: I don't think I'd trust that guy as a doctor... UTHER: I don't think that's his main job, no... PAYNE: Hey, that's me! I look pretty handsome in this. I don't know why the ladies are all over Edgeworth instead of me! UTHER: Uh... PAYNE: Sorry, what were you going to ask? UTHER: I can't remember... It probably wasn't important... UTHER: What do you think of this Anzam guy? PAYNE: I just... get a sense of evil from him. UTHER: Good... so it isn't just me. UTHER: Have you found out anything more about the defendant? PAYNE: I met her boyfriend, that Doctor Lupe guy. Plus, like I said, she turned herself in the first time. It would take an absolute rookie to lose this! UTHER: (Have you forgotten that the doctor specifically requested you for the task of losing?)UTHER: So, this guy is from the local police? PAYNE: There's at least one detective from Los Angeles here too, and he didn't even know about the Tabloid Town Police Department. UTHER: Odd... I wonder how that's possible. UTHER: This is our murderer. PAYNE: Doesn't it seem wrong to go after someone for destroying an evil being? UTHER: We can't let vigilante justice take the place of the courts. UTHER: Our victim. PAYNE: He hardly seems like an innocent victim to me! UTHER: Who can you truly say is innocent, Prosecutor Payne? UTHER: This... man is claiming to be Keith Moon? PAYNE: Who? UTHER: Exactly. PAYNE: Wait... huh? I don't understand... UTHER: Doctor Lupe is the leader of both Anzam and Amidimaru, it seems... PAYNE: He doesn't look like your average mob boss, though... UTHER: Looks can be decieving. He's in charge of a pack of wolves, after all... PAYNE: I still don't know what you're planning. UTHER: I'm sure that the evidence we find will speak for itself. HUNTER: Hi Uther. Armageddon?UTHER: What do you know about the event yesterday that was referred to as an Armageddon? HUNTER: ... There's something on my desk you might find useful, Uther. UTHER: This is my Prosecutor's Badge. It is a symbol that I am a professional. HUNTER: My professional symbol is over there on my desk. UTHER: ... (There is no way that this kid is really a defense attorney... is there?)HUNTER: Where did you get that!? UTHER: I picked it up during my investigation. HUNTER: I think you know a bit too much... HUNTER: An end as dramatic as he was. Probably did it intentionally. UTHER: (That's odd... Nightmare didn't even remember at first.)HUNTER: Doc tried to recruit you? I'm surprised. UTHER: Actually, he dropped this. HUNTER: What was he getting attacked by this time? A rabbit, a ferret, a kitten? UTHER: Bettyming. HUNTER: Poor guy. HUNTER: Your cousin was an interesting character to bring in. UTHER: He is quite the interesting character, all right... HUNTER: Not quite the sense I meant, but it's easier than explaining. HUNTER: Out of all the villainous groups you could have encountered, the Lupe Pack was probably the safest. UTHER: What other villainous groups are there? HUNTER: It is not yet time for you to know, unfortunately... HUNTER: ......... You will learn more about Nightmare in due time. UTHER: That's not very helpful. Armageddon?HUNTER: ... There's something on my desk you might find useful, Uther. UTHER: (Now... is this a visual or speech habit?){Speech}UTHER: Now, I just need to find another statement that fits. PRESENT: Holy SwordHUNTER: I think you know a bit too much... PRESENT PROFILE: Anzam, Amidimaru Oshiro, or Doctor LupeHUNTER: It is not yet time for you to know, unfortunately... PRESENT PROFILE: NightmareHUNTER: ......... You will learn more about Nightmare in due time. UTHER: Mr. Frost. When you try to hide something from me, you... [spoiler={Stutter} {Look nervous}] PAYNE: I don't notice a pattern there. UTHER: I guess I was mistaken.[/spoiler] {Take long pauses}UTHER: You have long pauses when you try to hide information from me! HUNTER: Do some investigation, and you'll see why I'm hiding information. Examine UTHER: You have a pet bird? HUNTER: Yeah, that's Slothy. Weewoos are quite intelligent birds, you'll probably encounter a lot of people here who have them, whether to carry messages or just as pets. UTHER: What's he sitting on...? HUNTER: That's my staff. I'm an ice mage. UTHER: (For a second I almost forgot that everyone in this world was completely out of their minds.)Examine HUNTER: This is my Attorney's Badge. It is a symbol that I am a professional. UTHER: ... (Something seems backward about this.)Examine HUNTER: That will be more useful after you find my habit. Examine after finding habitHUNTER: This is my magatama. It shows me when people are hiding things from me. UTHER: How? HUNTER: Take it, and you'll see. ~Magatama handed to Uther~ HUNTER: You said I was keeping secrets...? UTHER: !? HUNTER: When you see these locks on a Writer, there's a good reason for that. Writers have a limited ability to see future events, if they are to record them. However, they cannot speak of the events, lest the future change for the worse. UTHER: ... I... I see... Examine UTHER: A filing cabinet. Perfect. HUNTER: It doesn't matter if you get a search warrant or not, you won't be able to open the middle drawer. UTHER: "Story plans"...? HUNTER: You may check the "character files" in the bottom drawer. AnzamFull name: Species: Darigan Lupe, turned into a Heartless Description: A member of the Lupe Pack, a criminal organization. Has many dark powers and no sympathy. Be extremely cautious. Amidimaru OshiroFull Name: Amidimaru Oshiro Species: Ghost Lupe, formerly Blue Lupe Description: A member of the Lupe Pack, a criminal organization. A samurai killed by a bounty hunter approximately 500 years ago for the crime of murder. Dr. LupeFull Name: Doctor James Fenrir Lupe, M.D. Species: Human with lycanthropy Description: The leader of the Lupe Pack, a criminal organization. A doctor who has no qualms about saving a life, taking a life, or restoring a life. NightmareFull Name: Species: Dream being? Description: An attempted doppelganger of Doctor Lupe that appeared in a dream. Has power to transform into anything from a dream. Highly destructive and dangerous. Full Name: Winston Payne Species: Human Description: A pathetic prosecutor from the Ace Attorney universe who thinks far too highly of himself and considers everyone else to be rookies. PAYNE: Hey! Full Name: Keith Moon's Ghost Species: Ghost (formerly human) Description: A drunk drummer on drugs who was temporarily my character. UTHER: No files... HUNTER: If they're not my character, I don't have their files. ~~~~~ UTHER: Well, Mr. Frost, I think I have all the evidence I need. Due to your powers, you have control over the criminal organization known as the Lupe Pack, and previously over Nightmare, so... UTHER: I am here to arrest you for their crimes! How do you plea? HUNTER: My response to you will take some time, so bear with me for a moment... ~To Be Continued~

~TESTIMONY~ What. HUNTER: First of all... What. HUNTER: Second of all, how do you think I'm responsible? HUNTER: It isn't as though I have a way to control the Pack or Nightmare. HUNTER: Your logic is pretty faulty. ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ HUNTER: First of all... What. UTHER: I'm asking the questions, Frost. HUNTER: Yes, and your questions make no sense, so I must ask... what. HUNTER: Second of all, how do you think I'm responsible? UTHER: You're responsible because you could stop these crimes! HUNTER: ...You're insane, aren't you. HUNTER: Your logic is pretty faulty. UTHER: I think your logic is faulty! HUNTER: Did Bettyming get to you? UTHER: This evidence proves you're guilty and you know it! HUNTER: That doesn't prove anything. UTHER: I need to take a deep breath and calm down...)HUNTER: It isn't as though I have a way to control the Pack or Nightmare. PressUTHER: Oh, are you sure you have no control over them? Nothing? HUNTER: It... isn't as if I have some tool to control them or something. UTHER: A-ha! Your habit! PAYNE: Uther... are you okay...? UTHER: The truth is that, to control them, you can use... UTHER: You use money! You pay them! HUNTER: According to my contract, all my money belongs to Jakie. Try again. UTHER: You use the power of your magatama to control them! HUNTER: You weren't paying attention, were you. It only shows the truth, it doesn't control people. {Dice}UTHER: The dice! That's what summoned Nightmare in the first place! HUNTER: Is that what you're getting at? UTHER: ... Yes? HUNTER: I guess I should have known, but... ~TESTIMONY~ The Dice HUNTER: I'm sure you're aware of what dice are, right? Multiple sided rolling things? HUNTER: Dice choose a result at random. Nightmare was one option, The Lupe Pack is others, and those are overwhelmed by other options. HUNTER: The crime is Nightmare's, not mine, and he's gone. HUNTER: I'm honestly not sure who would give you the idea of somebody being guilty in the first place. ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ HUNTER: I'm sure you're aware of what dice are, right? Multiple sided rolling things? UTHER: Do you mean to insult my intelligence, Mr. Frost!? HUNTER: Yes, yes I do. UTHER: ... HUNTER: Dice choose a result at random. Nightmare was one option, The Lupe Pack is others, and those are overwhelmed by other options. UTHER: Even if the odds are in your favor, it is still a gamble! HUNTER: Gambling isn't illegal, Uther Payne. HUNTER: The crime is Nightmare's, not mine, and he's gone. UTHER: But you summoned him! HUNTER: Chaos from a villain... an inevitability. He would have come eventually at some point. HUNTER: I'm honestly not sure who would give you the idea of somebody being guilty in the first place. UTHER: Guilty! You're all guilty! The system is guilty! This world is guilty! HUNTER: This world is guilty? Can I take that as a confession, Mr. Payne? UTHER: Of course not! HUNTER: I'm honestly not sure who would give you the idea of somebody being guilty in the first place. PRESENT PROFILE: NightmareUTHER: I think you might find my next answer quite interesting. HUNTER: Don't worry, I've found this whole encounter quite interesting. UTHER: I heard it... from one of the victims. UTHER: Nightmare himself! HUNTER: What!? ? ? ?: Don't believe him, Hunter...? Come to the Abandoned Battlefield and see...July 12, 2010 4:30 PM NST Ravaged BattlefieldHUNTER: Nightmare! UTHER: The portal! NIGHTMARE: Welcome back... HUNTER: Now, Uther, we'll see a real cross-examination. NIGHTMARE: Defending Amidimaru, are you? HUNTER: Defending myself, I've been accused of your crimes. NIGHTMARE: I guess that's logical... UTHER: One statement from Nightmare, that's all you get. No unneeded objections. HUNTER: That's all I need, Mr. Payne. ~TESTIMONY~ Frost's Chance in... NIGHTMARE: After all, Writers control characters, fact. NIGHTMARE: You think I wanted to show up? As if. NIGHTMARE: I ask you to tell me one character who showed up without the Writer wanting. ~CROSS-EXAMINATION~ HUNTER: (Only one statement! I can't waste time pressing! I need to present evidence!)UTHER: That was your wasted statement, Frost! You lose! NIGHTMARE: I ask you to tell me one character who showed up without the Writer wanting. PRESENT PROFILE: NightmareHUNTER: Sorry... Nightmare... you both underestimate and overestimate Writer powers! NIGHTMARE: What!? HUNTER: I'm sure this looks familiar? NIGHTMARE: You're going to need more proof than that to prove I showed up without you wanting me to! I don't think that's going to work. Anyway, dice roll time again, since Umbreon seems to have wandered off. [30] GAH DREW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN TRYING TO SUMMON THE THREE YOU'VE SUMMONED MY MOST DANGEROUS CHARACTER! : Goooood evening everyone! C:< HUNTER: Didn't seem too happy there. NIGHTMARE: Grr... that's... : Who the heck are you? *throws dice at Nightmare's head* [19][24] : Sensei! Why is he here? Dialogue Tree: Better question, why am I here!? Perhaps I shall introduce myself.*tries to prevent* asdfjlk; I ruined everthing x____x; HUNTER: Or Drew, when Evilworth showed up! NIGHTMARE: No solid... no solid proof! HOLY-! : Ooh, followed by a 666 dice roll. How interesting! … >__> *Rolls again* [6][12][9] …………… FFFFFFF— NOOOOOOOOOO What's wrong?!NOT HERInteresting, I seem to recall something about dice rolls being "irrevocable"…? Uh-oh.HUNTER: Are the Ambassador's sentiments clear enough...? NIGHTMARE: ... NIGHTMARE: THIS! IS! NOT! THE! END! HUNTER! FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST! HUNTER: Well, that was certainly... UTHER: Horrible. PAYNE: What now? HUNTER: Well, we weren't supposed to meet yet, but- UTHER: James Lupe! DR. LUPE: Is she gone? ? ?: WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ME...BETTYMING: I CAN SEE YOUALL: AGH! BETTYMING: HOW ABOUT SOME BRAIN BLEACHAUGUST 28, 2010 Icy Taco PubUTHER: I didn't remember that until recently. DR. LUPE: Neither... neither did I... *hic* Why'dja have to remind me... PAYNE: I feel like we're forgetting something that should probably be here... PAYNE: Hmm... I don't think that's it, it was probably nothing... MOON: DOC, HIT IT! DR. LUPE: Hit wha-? MOON and PAYNE: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU, WHO WHO, WHO WHO~ UTHER: (...Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.)UTHER: (Thus ended my first and final case outside of my world. This is why I don't take cases anymore. Now that we've got that out of the way, it's time to tell you about some others from my world who ended up in Neopia...)
