Ace of Diamonds - Video

[everylittlething]

[A teenage girl with brown hair and a bright blue top hat fiddles with her communicator, pursing her lips this way and that as she adjusts the video. Once it finally seems to be working, she sets it down on the desk in front of her.]

I gotta say. That "porter" thing is a pretty neat trick. One minute I'm in L.A., then ta-da! Florida! I didn't even raise my hand to volunteer!

[Thoughtfully, she toys with the curl of hair alongside her face.]

Though you know, it's sort of irresponsible to just bring people places without asking like that. I've got a show to do tonight and all my fans are going to be disappointed when I don't show up.

I guess it is nice of them to get me a gig here too, though. I hope there's a demand for magicians.

[She hesitates a moment, then clears her throat.]

In any case! It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm Trucy Wright, professional magician and CEO of the Wright Anything Agency. I'm available for consultation if you need a little magic in your life, or at your parties.

Oh, and could someone let me know if you see my dad around? His name is Phoenix Wright. He'll be really worried about me if I don't find him soon.

[Then, under her breath...]

I hope he's around.

[enigmaestro]

You're a magician, and a CEO? This is perhaps the most honest a business executive has ever been.

[everylittlething]

That's right!

But don't worry, the only things I make disappear are props, rabbits and the occasional candy bar. Not bank accounts.

[video]

[glassinine]

Trucy?

I have been waiting for this ;-;

[everylittlething]

Oh!

[Hey! She knows that cravat anywhere!]

Uncle Miles! It's you!

VOICE.

[indenture]

Phoenix Wright? [ The name sounds familiar, although he doesn't know the guy that well. ] I don't think much of magic, but there's always a market for entertainers.

[everylittlething]

Yes, Phoenix Wright. He's a piano player. [... in a sense.]

Aww, really? But magic is great! I bet you've just never seen good magic.

[mightiswright]

[ !!

He's at work when he hears her voice over the network, and Phoenix doesn't waste a second in shooting out the door without a single word of explanation to his boss. ]

I'm here, Trucy. Where are you?

[everylittlething]

[His boss wouldn't believe him anyway.

She visibly perks up when the message comes in, a brief relieved expression crossing her face before it's replaced with a huge smile.]

Daddy! There you are!

I'm, ah- I'm at the house they said I was gonna live in. Number 4? Where are you?

[transuniversal]

Hello, Trucy. Can you do real magic?

[With great curiosity. This is an extremely important question when you've worked with Doctor Strange.]

[everylittlething]

Hello! That depends what you mean by "real" magic.

[video]

[yatagarasu]

Nice to meet'cha, Trucy! Mr. Wright's around, but I didn't know you two were running a family business.

Kay Faraday, Great Thief Yatagarasu, superhero, and all-around cheery assistant, at your service!

[everylittlething]

[Brace yourself, Heropa. You're about to get assisted.]

I'm glad to hear it. Daddy wouldn't know what to do with the office if I wasn't around. We can make it work even if our office is halfway across the country.

It's nice to meet you, Ka-

[Wait a sec...]

Great Thief Yatagrassuu?

[kirisutegomen]

[ He's seen Trucy one or twice, but he didn't know she actually worked with Phoenix. ]

I had assumed the agency's name was due to a lack of imagination from Wright-dono, rather than literal.

[everylittlething]

[Oh, hey, someone who's heard of them.]

Well, it started off as the Wright Talent Agency, but along came Polly. And since he's a lawyer, we changed the name to the Wright Anything Agency.

[... wait.]

... "Wright-dono?"

video

[aggressiveapathy]

Did he have you when he was five or something?

[everylittlething]

[The question makes Trucy laugh... clearly she's heard it before.]

No. He was 27.

[handwringing]

[Elsa doesn't like talking to people on this thing much, but the name "Phoenix Wright" catches her attention, if the fact that it was a young girl looking for her father wasn't enough.]

You're Mr. Wright's daughter?

[Not that he looked old enough for a daughter this old, but appearances can be deceiving.]

I met him, once. I'm sure he's looking for you.

[everylittlething]

[Wow, what a beautiful woman! And she knows her father?

Watch out, Elsa, you're new mommy material...]

That's right! You know my daddy?

He'll be here soon, he said he was on his way.

Video

[theblackleopard]

I was not aware Mr. Wright had a daughter. But then again, we only spoke on an occasion or two.

It is nice to meet you, Trucy. I am T'Challa, an acquaintance of your Father. You must be pretty intelligent to be a CEO at your age.

[everylittlething]

It's nice to meet you too, Mr. T'Challa! I'm kind of surprised. Daddy always ends up bragging sooner or later... it's a little embarrassing.

Actually, I've been a CEO since I was eight. I guess you could also say I'm the manager, but "CEO" just sounds more official, don't you think?

video

[attractedtodarkness]

At least you're not a lawyer

[everylittlething]

Haha, nope. I'm a little young to be a lawyer.

[Old enough to be a prosecutor in Germany, apparently, but not a lawyer. That's crazy talk.]

audio

[boobwindow]

Magician, huh? I'll keep that in mind.

Looks like your dad found you first.

[everylittlething]

That's right! A professional magician, even. So if you need any entertainment, you know who to call first!

video;

[ironbuttmonkey]

That guy has a daughter?

[What.]

[everylittlething]

[Strangely, this question seems to amuse Trucy more than anything.]

That's right, and you're looking at her!

audio;

[dragony]

They probably won't notice that you're gone.

Your audience, I mean. They'll be fine.

[everylittlething]

I sure hope not! The Wonder Bar is a popular place! It took a lot of hard work to win that performance slot, and I don't want to let them down after all these years!

Video

[foreshadower]

What an advertisement, too.

[ God, no, he actually looks a little creepy, and dated. Even his clothes are dated. ]

Although, with people who can fly, I'm not certain the demand for magic will be quite as high as it may be where you come from.

Unless your stage presence is phenomenal.

[everylittlething]

Thanks!

[Mr. Weird Really Old Suit Guy!]

Magic is way different than superpowers! But you're right... I was thinking about that earlier.

It just means I'll have to make my shows even more spectacular than usual to really wow everyone here! Even the flying people are going to be surprised.

[chiefdefense]

[Blink. Blink.]

Well it's nice to know that Phoenix has someone capable looking out for him. How are you doing, Trucy? Have you found your dad?

[everylittlething]

Yes, I found him. He's on his way to come get me right now.

[Blink. Blink.

This woman looks... familiar. But Trucy's not sure how.]

Um... who are you, again?

video

[psychup]

[Well, there's another familiar face. Maybe even one who will recognize her back? Probably not, with her luck, but that's all right. She clasps her hands happily.]

Oh, Trucy! Hi, there!

Don't worry, your dad's here, too!

[everylittlething]

[You're half right, Athena, but that probably won't stop Trucy from glomming quickly onto you in any case.]

Hi there! Yes, I think he's on his way over here right now.

[A brief pause.]

You're, um... wait, it's coming to me...
