Ace Attorney (I'll come up with a real name eventually) [RPG]

[The Truth]

"An ugly corpse and an ugly drunkard beside it."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

"Is there anything else about the scene that you can recall?" Annabeth asked, trying to think of more questions to ask.

[The Truth]

"No, I saw no need to contemplate such ugliness. I called the police at once. Ugliness should be a crime."


(Pike): "And what time was this?"

(Diddet): "I'd say it was at about 6:30 AM."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Annabeth frowned slightly, as she looked back to the autopsy report.
Well, that time matches... Annabeth thought, as she considered what had been said already.
"How do you know the accused was drunk?" Annabeth queried.

[The Truth]

"I'd often seen that disgusting oaf shambling through the park at all hours."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

"But how does that correspond to the actual scene? Do you have proof that he was drunk on the night in question?"

[The Truth]

"W-well, no, but why else would he be passed out by the-"


(??): "OBJESCHION!"
A very drunk man shoved Ian Diddet off the stand. "Hesh right! I wash drunked!"
(Diddet): "You vile PIG! How dare you presume to touch me! Bailiff! Get this disgusting creature off the stand!"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

"..." Annabeth did nothing but stare as she saw what happened.
... This guy... He does want to be found innocent right?

[The Truth]

The drunk turned to Payne. "I've been frameed! The aliensh want my brainsh!"
(Payne): "In that case, they'll be quite disappointed."
The bailiff dragged the drunk off the stand.

(Pike): *whispering* "By the way...newbies often get cases where the defendant is basically already found guilty."

"Great, would've been nice to know that earlier..." Annabeth mumbled, but then frowned.
"Mr. Diddet, could you tell me if you saw the flowers in this crime scene when you were there?"

[The Truth]

"Humph. I'll have you know that as the gardener, it is my sacred duty to monitor the flowers! I must preserve the beauty of the park, after all!"

(Pike): "Answer the question, Mr. Diddet!"

Diddet glared at Pike. "I'll not be pushed around by a bunch of ugly neanderthals like you. But fine. No, I didn't see the white flower there. It must have blown in from a nearby flower patch afterward."

(Pike): "Ms Annabeth? I think now might be a good time for an objection. Something in your evidence contradicts his statement."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

"OBJECTION!" Annabeth yelled out, as she pointed a finger at Diddet.
"This white flower couldn't have blown from a nearby flower patch, because the only colour of flowers there are yellow and red."

[The Truth]

Diddet shook her head. "I see your brain is as useless as you are ugly. You think those are the only two flower patches in the park?"

(Judge): "Hm. I suppose there could be a white flower patch nearby. Ms. Valentine, I'm afraid I'll have to penalize you."

(Pike): "Annabeth, look at the photo more carefully. If there were strong winds, then something in the picture doesn't fit."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

Annabeth frowned at the picture for a moment, and then looked up with a smile.
"OBJECTION!" Annabeth said, and then seemed triumphant.
"If there were heavy winds that day; then why are the flower beds still intact?

[The Truth]

Diddet stumbled back. "We-well, maybe something-that is, if the wind wasn't that strong-"

(Pike): "Which is it? Was the wind strong enough to break a flower stalk, or wasn't it?"

(Diddet): "It-er-"

(Pike): "Your honor, the flower did NOT simply happen to blow onto the blood. It was placed there deliberately!"

(Payne): "EYAAAERRRRGGGGGHGHH!"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

Annabeth nodded, as she looked over to Pike with a smile.
"Nice catch, sorry about my messup."

[The Truth]

"Eeh, we all make mistakes. Can't simply throw out the fishing rod just because your first catch was a boot. Now then...if someone put the flower there, I think a good question is why?"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

Annabeth smiled, the guy was definitely cooler than she initially thought. She wondered about that, though, and thought for a moment.
"My first guess would be a calling card of sorts, but..."

[The Truth]

"Very good. Now, what sort of person leaves a calling card...and why?"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Annabeth==-

"Hmm..." Annabeth frowned at that.
"My theory is that it was obviously the true killer who left it behind... But I'm not sure about the why." Annabeth admitted, as that was the confusing part.
