[The video starts by showing a tired young man, sitting in a rather plain bedroom. His hair's a little messed up, and he's still wearing the clothes he arrived in, a blue coat draped over his usual red suit.]

I should be trying to sleep, but I don't think I can. Not after everything that's happened today. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

I'm Apollo Justice, and... I don't want to be here. There's not much else I can say about it. I was in the middle of an important investigation, and being kidnapped to- to wherever this is, and given weird powers by a bunch of military guys, wasn't exactly on my agenda! I'd just like to thank whoever had this bright idea, or whatever cosmic force decided it'd be funny to keep me from finding out the truth-!

[He squeezes his eyes shut and takes a deep breath, sounding a little calmer when he continues,] ... Okay. I'm fine. Tomorrow, I'll try to get my bearings and find out more about this place. It's not like I have much of a choice.

Apollo...?

[ Asked in the way someone with familiarity with him might... except she doesn't know him. She's only heard of him. ]

audio

[nomorepantiesplz]

Uh, yeah, that's my name. I know it's a little weird. [Except that's not a voice he recognizes, despite the tone.] Sorry, do I know you?

[yatagarasu]

An investigation? Are you a detective?

[Someone didn't catch the defense attorney badge. Must be the fault of your blue coat, Polly.]

[video]

[nomorepantiesplz]

No, not quite. I'm a defense attorney. You could say it was an independent investigation.

[ Phoenix is still up working on the investigation into the recent crime sprees when he hears the broadcast, so his appearance is actually somewhat tidy. ]

Apollo. [ So casually: ] I was wondering if you'd show up.

video

[nomorepantiesplz]

M-Mr. Wright?!

[And just like that, Apollo's getting frantic.]

Why are you here? I thought you were in court! Or you should've been earlier, did you- how did the trial go?!

Video - Private to Phoenix (on Apollo's own post, wut of it)

[everylittlething]

Daddy? Something's wrong with Apollo. I can tell.

[selfequipped]

Hey there, Apollo. I'm Kate.

[There's a pause, and then she launches into the real reason why she's commenting here.]

I was dragged away from an investigation, too. I've been assured that time doesn't pass back home, and there's some science that backs that up. Of course, there's a kid who'll tell you differently, so that might not reassure you at all.

Still, I think there's a good chance of that being true, so things might be all right.

My best recommendation is that you try to adjust to being here as best as you can in the meantime.

[nomorepantiesplz]

It doesn't...? [Now even Apollo's hair is sagging in relief.]

I can't say that makes much sense to me, but if you're right... that would make a big difference. I don't have any time to waste with this one.

voice

[highhealplz]

I know the feeling. They couldn't even wait for a break in the action, right? [ he laughs a little ] Well, welcome to a whole new world!

voice

[nomorepantiesplz]

For what that's worth. It's not like I needed a new fantastic point of view.

[video]

[chiefdefense]

Well that's a superhero name if ever I heard of one. Nice to meet you, Apollo.

[video]

[nomorepantiesplz]

Please don't rub it in. I don't have the slightest interest in all the heroing stuff I keep hearing about.

[everylittlething]

Eeeeeeeeee! Apollo! It's you!

I missed you!

[everylittlething]

[In her excitement she almost doesn't notice, but Trucy catches on by the look on his face.]

Are you okay? What's wrong?

[kirisutegomen]

[ Blackquill understands what it's like to be pulled away from important matters at home, but he wouldn't be Blackquill if he actually showed his sympathy. ]

Justice-dono.Yet another familiar face.

video

[nomorepantiesplz]

Prosecutor Blackquill...?

You're the last person I expected to see here. Are they trying to abduct every single lawyer in LA?

voice;

[reptiledysfunction]

I wouldn't know much about investigations, but if you have any questions about this place, feel free to ask me anything.

voice;

[nomorepantiesplz]

I do have a lot of questions, but the one I'm most concerned with right now is if anyone's been able to go back home.

audio;

[dragony]

Whether it's some cosmic force, or something else, whatever it is that's responsible won't care about your investigation, or anything else important to you.

[ The words themselves may be callous, but her tone isn't nearly so cruel. If anything, she sounds sympathetic. ]

Try not to take it too personally, if you can.

audio;

[nomorepantiesplz]

Great. So is it doing all of this for the entertainment value?

[video]

[glassinine]

Wright's protege. A pleasure to meet you.

[video]

[nomorepantiesplz]

Uh. Yeah, I guess protege is the right word. Sorry, do I know you...?

audio;

[notdaredevil]

Your last name is really Justice?

[This doesn't seem like real life.]

Sorry to hear about your investigation. I wouldn't look to cosmic forces as the culprit for an interruption. I think it's much more mundane that that.

audio;

[nomorepantiesplz]

It is, believe it or not.

This is pretty extreme to be quite that mundane, but I haven't ruled it out yet. If there is someone responsible, I can't promise I won't hit them. Or let the air out of their tires.

[beenwaitinglong]

[Exactly how many wayward little lawyers and teenagers has that idiot Trite Wright taken under his wing in the future?

The kid seems decent enough though. Not that that spares him from the obligatory theatrics from this weirdo.]

Well now... another of the Wright fledglings, are you? Ha...!

Welcome to Heropa, Mr. Justice.

Video

[nomorepantiesplz]

[This is definitely the strangest person to reply so far. Apollo has no idea what the hardware on this guy's face is supposed to be, but he's tactful enough to not mention it. Yet.]

I wouldn't exactly call myself a fledgling, Mr...?

[lyingheart]

[ Such assurance in tracking down the truth. He says investigation, and she thinks, what kind of profession goes along with that, if not police work. Kind of amusing, with a name like Justice. ]

The truth will still be out there when you return. Or so I'm made to understand.

[nomorepantiesplz]

That's what I've been told, but it's still frustrating. If it wasn't for that little detail... well, I'm not comfortable with being left out of something so important.

video

[psychup]

Apollo! I thought I heard a familiar grumpy voice --

[She responds to the video with a bright grin; whether or not he's forgotten her as Mr. Wright and Trucy, she's thrilled to see him.

It's only after she replies that she notices what he's wearing.]

Oh!

[nomorepantiesplz]

Hi, Athena. The others all said you were here.
