BackSet: [Sweating] I have no idea what you're talking about! I don't know anything about an update!
Player: Oh really? Then you also don't know anything about this!

BackSet: [Damaged] Ah!

Okay, okay, fine! You win! You broke my Psyche-Lock!

Okay so I changed my mind about things. I've replaced Robin Newman on the cover with Franziska because, to be honest, I don't really want to use Robin and Franziska's more fun.

Case 2

Turnabout Renaissance

June 24
Renaissance Faire - Main Street

Cyrus: (Well, here I am. Now where are Sheena and Maggey?)
(Sheena appears wearing a fancy princess-esque dress instead of her normal outfit.)
Sheena: [Pleased] There you are. I’ve been waiting for an hour.
Cyrus: An hour? But the faire only just opened up!
Sheena: I like to arrive early.
Cyrus: (That’s really early.)
Sheena: Now where’s Maggey?
Maggey: [Angry] Sorry I’m late, sir! I almost ran into a telephone pole!
Cyrus: You’re not late. Sheena was just super early.
Maggey: Thank goodness.
Cyrus: So, Sheena, where to first?
Sheena: [Thinking] Well, the story teller’s at 5 and the dungeon tour is at 6. But more importantly, Jousting is at 4.But for now, I guess we just wander around.
Maggey: According to this pamphlet they gave me, there’s an opening ceremony. We could go see that.
Cyrus: Sounds nea- wait a minute. Do you hear that?
???: I still don’t understand why you asked me to bring you here. You can go by yourself
Maggey: [Thinking] I don’t hear anything, sir.
???: I wanted it to be the three of us. Just like old times, you know.
Cyrus: You guys go on ahead. I need to check something out.
???: ……….
Sheena: Alright. See you later. Remember, if you can’t find us in an hour, we’ll be at the jousting arena.
(Sheena and Maggey run off)
Cyrus: (Okay, I know that voice. I’ve watched the trial videos, but why would he be here?)

Cutscene

“Speaking of old times,” Maya said. “I think I saw a noodle stand somewhere around here.”

Maya began to rush off. But before she could make it too far, she rammed right into somebody. A certain green haired defense attorney.

“Sorry!” She shouted.

“I knew it.” Cyrus said, slowly picking himself up off the ground. “I knew it was you.”

“Uh… what do you mean?” Maya asked. “Do I know you?”

“You’re Maya Fey.” Cyrus said. “Which means…” Cyrus turned and pointed at one of the other two people with Maya, a blue suited, spikey haired defense attorney. “You must be Phoenix Wright!” There was a fanboyish glint in his eyes.

Cutscene

Cyrus: I can’t believe it! You’re really Phoenix Wright!
Phoenix: [Disheartened] ……….
Cyrus: You’re the best defense attorney ever! You’re the one who took down Manfred Von Karma and Cross-Examined a parrot!
Phoenix: [Disheartened] …………….
Phoenix: Er… if you don’t mind me asking… who exactly are you?
Cyrus: Oh! Sorry! I forgot to introduce myself!
Cyrus: My name is Cyrus Falks. I’m a defense attorney too. It’s an honor to meet you.
Maya: [Pleased] What about me? Is it an honor to meet me?
Cyrus: Yes, it is!
Cyrus: And it’s also an honor to meet Ms. Pearl Fey.
Pearl: [Embarrassed] Really, does that mean I’m famous?
Cyrus: You are in certain legal circles, at least.
Cyrus: I’ve read every case file and watched every trial video pertaining to you, Mr. Wright. You’re my hero!
Phoenix: [Abashed] Really?
Cyrus: I should probably get going, though.
Cyrus: I’d ask for your autograph but that seems a bit presumptuous.
Phoenix: [Abashed] Yeah, a bit…
Maya: [Pleased] I’ll give you my autograph!
Cyrus: Really! Awesome! Thank you, Ms. Fey!

[Maya’s Autograph added to Court Record]

[It’s Maya Fey’s autograph. Not as good as an autograph from Phoenix Wright but still pretty great.]

Maya: [Angry] Hey! What’s that supposed to mean!
Cyrus: Oh! Look at the time I’ve gotta go meet up with Maggey and Sheena!

June 24
Renaissance Faire - Jousting Arena

Sheena: [Pleased] You made it! And just in time, too!
Cyrus: Where’s Maggey?
Sheena: Oh. She went off to the bathroom.
Cyrus: I hope she doesn’t miss the show.
Sheena: Me too. Come on, let’s go get seated!

Cutscene

Cyrus and Sheena sat down on the benches next to the arena. They had both got the VIP ticket so they got to sit on benches covered by a roof, keeping the sun out of their eyes. The announcer, a young man, trotted out atop a horse.

“Ladies and gentlemen!” He shouted. “Boys and girls! Children of all ages! Yada yada! You know the drill! Who’s ready to watch some jousting!”

The crowd, including Cyrus and Sheena, cheered.

“Let’s meet our contestants!” The announcer shouted. “First off, in the silver corner we have the Silver Blur, the Speedster herself, Dame Sonia Knight!”

Half the stadium cheered while the other half booed. This lasted for about a minute before the crowd calmed down and noticed that Dame Sonic Knight had not appeared yet.

The announcer looked just as confused as everyone else. “Er… I said, Dame Sonia Knight!” Noone showed up. Just then, there was a scream. A very familiar scream. It was coming from backstage.

“Maggey!” Cyrus and Sheena shouted.

Cyrus and Sheena went running towards the backstage area. As he ran he saw that Mr. Wright, Maya Fey, and Pearl Fey were also running towards the backstage area from the opposite VIP benches. Both groups arrived backstage to see Maggey standing over a dead body, fearful.

Cutscene

June 25
Detention Center

Cyrus: (As soon as the police saw Maggey standing over the dead body they arrested her on suspicion of murder.)
Cyrus: (They had her in questioning all day yesterday so I didn’t get a chance to talk to her.)
Phoenix: [Thinking] ………….
Cyrus: Oh! Mr. Wright! What are you doing here?
Phoenix: [Surprised] Ah!
Phoenix: Don’t scare me like that!
Cyrus: Oh… sorry.
Phoenix: [Abashed] Er… if you don’t mind me asking… who are you?
Cyrus: I’m Cyrus Falks. We met briefly yesterday.
Phoenix: [Thinking] Oh, you’re that attorney. The one who got Maya’s autograph.
Cyrus: Yep. Anyway, you didn’t answer my question, what are you doing here?
Phoenix: Well, I’m here to ask Maggey to let me defend her.
Phoenix: What are you doing here?
Cyrus: I’m… uh… here to do the same thing.
Cyrus: She’s my co-council so I figure I have a responsibility to help her out.
Phoenix: [Surprised] She’s your co-council?
Cyrus: Yeah. Is that surprising?
Phoenix: Well, last I heard she was working at a car wash.
Cyrus: Huh. From car washer to co-council. That’s a pretty big leap.
Phoenix: You’re telling me.
(Maggey appears)
Cyrus: Oh! Maggey! How long have you been there!
Maggey: [Salute] Not too long, sir.
Cyrus: You look rather chipper for someone who’s in a detention center.
Maggey: Oh I’m used to it.
Maggey: This is my fourth time being accused for murder.
Cyrus: Wait... what!?
Cyrus: Your fourth time!
Maggey: [Sad] Yeah. Though, it’s been nine years since the last time it happened.

{Defending You}

The Murder

Maggey: [Angry] I didn’t kill anyone, sirs! I swear!
Cyrus: Calm down Maggey. Neither me nor Mr. Wright are saying you did.
Cyrus: Right, Mr. Wright.
Phoenix: That’s right. Neither of us believe you did it.
Maggey: Thank you.
Maggey: [Sad] Sigh I can’t believe this happened again.
Maggey: And just when I thought I finally shed my Goddess of Misfortune nickname and became just an “unlucky person.”
Cyrus: Goddess of Misfortune?
Maggey: Yes. That’s what people always call me. I have rotten luck.
Maggey: Ever since I fell from the ninth story floor of an apartment building when I was 6 months old and, well, Mr. Wright knows the rest.

{Defending You}

Defending You

Cyrus: Maggey, I know I’m not as experienced as Mr. Wright, and I’d perfectly understand if you chose him instead, but... I’d like to defend you.
Phoenix: [Disheartened] Are you giving her puppy dog eyes?
Cyrus: What? No!
Maggey: [Thinking] ...
Maggey: [Determined] Mr. Falks, sir. It would be great to have you as my defense attorney.
Maggey: I’ll file a request right away!
Cyrus: Really? Great!
(Maggey leaves to go file a report)
Cyrus: Uh… Mr. Wright. I’d like to ask a favor.
Cyrus: Could you take care of the investigation for me?
Cyrus: I know I just agreed to defend Maggey and I should really do it myself but there are some important things I have to do regarding this case.
Cyrus: Please.
Phoenix: [Disheartened] ……….
Phoenix: I’ll do it.

June 25
Renaissance Faire - Main Street

Phoenix: (Well, here we are.)
Phoenix: (It’s so empty. If I wasn’t there myself it would be hard to believe that there had been hundreds of people milling around.)
Maya: [Pleased] Hey Nick, look!
Maya: That ramen stand is still there!
Maya: We should get some.
Phoenix: Maya, we can’t do that, that’s stealing!
Maya: [Angry] So! You steal things all the time!
Phoenix: That’s not stealing that’s… collecting… evidence.
Phoenix: Anyway, we better get going to the crime scene.

Phoenix: Hey Detective. Haven’t seen you in a while.
Gumshoe: [Angry] Never mind that, what are you doing here, Pal!

Detective Gumshoe

Phoenix: So what are you doing here, Detective?
Gumshoe: What do you mean, Pal?
Phoenix: Well, I thought you were Chief of Detectives now.
Gumshoe: [Sad] Well, I am, but we’re pretty short staffed right now.
Gumshoe: What with Detective Skye being overseas with Prosecutor Sahdmadhi, Detective Fulbright actually being dead, and every other detective being busy.
Gumshoe: Plus I have a personal investment in this case.
Gumshoe: [Sad] That’s my wife on trial, you know.
Phoenix: Wait…
Maya: [Surprised] Whaaaat!
Phoenix: You and Maggey got married!
Phoenix: Why am I only just hearing this now!
Gumshoe: [Rubbing back of Neck] Well, I sent you a wedding invite but you never RSVPed.
Phoenix: Oh. Uh… I think Trucy might have used that for a magic trick.

The Murder

Phoenix: Can you tell us about the murder, Detective?
Gumshoe: [Confident] I’ll tell you everything I know!
Gumshoe: [Sad] Actually, I don’t know all that much.
Gumshoe: The best I can do is give you the autopsy report.

[Knight’s Autopsy Report Added to the Court Record]

[On June 24th at 3:50 PM Sonia Knight was stabbed once through the chest. Victim died 5 minutes after being stabbed.]

Gumshoe: Oh yeah, and we didn’t find any prints on the murder weapon.
Phoenix: Thanks Detective.
Phoenix: What about the crime scene?
Gumshoe: We’re pretty much finished up there so you should be able to enter.
Gumshoe: [Looking to side] I wouldn’t expect to find much if I were you, though.
Gumshoe: We basically stripped it bare.
Phoenix: Thanks a bunch, Detective.
Gumshoe: No problem, Pal! Just help get Maggey a Not Guilty verdict.

Phoenix: So that’s where they keep the horses.
Maya: You think I can pet one?

Phoenix: Detective Gumshoe said they didn’t find any prints on the weapon.
Phoenix: I wonder why.

Phoenix: Maybe. But that raises the question of why they arrested Maggey.
Phoenix: She wasn’t wearing gloves, was she?
