[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.

[ Whoa, whoa. ]

Slow down. One, I don't know which trial you're referring to. Two, time works a little... differently here.

[ He moves the comm away from his ear with a wince once those Chords of Steel start up. ]

Inside voice, Apollo.
mightiswright: (sigh)

[ He sighs. ] I couldn't tell you if I wanted to.

Time works differently here... in that people can arrive from different points in time. If I had to take a guess, I'd say you're from my future. [ How else would he be taking over in court for him? ]
mightiswright: (just a piano player)

... Vera Misham.

[ He never even got to see the outcome of it, before being pulled here, but from all the little bits and pieces he's heard from the people from his future, he has a good guess. ]

It had just started.

Nope. I've been here for months.

I've heard a little from Miles Edgeworth, and Athena Cykes. They're both here, too. [ He's pretty sure Apollo would know her if she really joins their office... ]
mightiswright: (i'm a little fuzzy)

[ Phoenix works to keep a small frown off his face. Apollo seems... different than what he remembers. ]

Tell me about Mr. Starbuck and his trial. Were you and I working on it together?
mightiswright: (let me explain)

[ There's a moment of silence before he responds. There's something going on here, and he's going to going to get to the bottom of it. ]

Why did we do that?
mightiswright: (something sounds off)

[ ... Psychelocks. On Apollo. But the figurative bomb Apollo drops next is almost enough to distract him from it.

Almost. ]


What? How? Was anyone hurt? [ And more importantly, why are there psychelocks? Why would he lie about the reason for stepping out of a trial? ]

[ Who would ever think bringing in a bomb to a courtroom would be a good idea?? ]

They do that for you. [ He's still not satisfied...

He needs to learn more. ]
Was it the defendant trying to make a run for it?
mightiswright: (something sounds off)

Did they also determine why he murdered the detective?

It sounds like a complicated trial... within a trial. What was the original trial for?
mightiswright: (i'm listening)

[ Murder. It's nothing new, but there's something about the look on his face. ]

How did you come about defending him?
mightiswright: (i see)

[ For a moment, this is an all too familiar story, but just as quickly, it's gone, because Apollo is nothing like him. Thankfully. ]

Always trust in your client. It's a good lesson to take to heart. [ So if it's not about the defendant, then... ] So what was the case?
