The Turnabout Voicetest

[bewrightback]

This is a voice test for Phoenix Wright of Ace Attorney fame! Feel free to throw people here.

Some general guidelines:

-I'm primarily testing him with a Dual Destinies canon point. I still am welcoming of a few prompts for earlier time periods and possibly AUs, though, as long as they don't dominate. (Except that I don't think I can brain Hobo!Phoenix at this time)
-Nothing really explicitly shippy; I don't think I even have any shipping preferences with him just yet. But general fluff is fine.
-I'm not exactly sure about specific kinds of scenarios I'd like to play beyond one: working to unlock someone's Psych-Locks? And maybe emotional canon talks.
-Feel free to plunder the Random Scenario Meme for ideas (Leaving out sex of course)? I also welcome generic jamjar scenarios and text message threads.

Court is now in session!

[So you just moved there to have a good time and you're honestly feeling so attacked right now...

The Magatama's glowing, and Phoenix indicates it; it's an educational experience for Athena, after all. And then he begins to use it, as he talks calmly to Athena.]

Miss. You say that you didn't know anyone at that school. But is that really true?

[psycholawgy]

[ Well, this was it.

She's already seen Phoenix in action with the Magatama, and he was using it on her, no less. But still, she didn't know much about it to just shrug it off like it was a normal thing. It makes her slightly tense, but that wasn't going to be enough pressure to crack her. She continues on with the act. ]

Of course it's true. Everyone here is a total stranger!

[bewrightback]

Every last person? I'm sorry, but I'm finding it hard to believe that this person [He presents a photo of the stranger.] was a stranger to you.

[psycholawgy]

[ Lets out a sharp gasp, and her face gets filled with despair. That was sooo not her ex-boyfriend. ]

What- How did you know about him?

[psycholawgy]

[ That was one lie revealed, and her secret seems to be slightly clearer now. One psychlock breaks.

She won't give up, though. That wasn't enough to make her spill. ]

I mean, whatever! He's just an acquaintance. We aren't connected in any way.

[bewrightback]

Just an acquaintance? Normally, I'd take your word for that. But it's hard for me to do that when it contrasts with the evidence.

For example... Why was he found in your dorm room?

[psycholawgy]

((I'm dumb and totally missed the "stranger" there, OOPS. I had thought of a different character :/b I'll KEEP TRUCKING WITH THIS BS CASE ANYWAY!!))


You tell me! I wouldn't invite a stranger to my room. Maybe my roommate asked him to come over. I don't know.

Besides, what evidence do you have that I know him? Nothing!

[ It's not like you have a picture of us together or anything! Or do you. ]

[bewrightback]

[I did actually mean to say victim up there I have no idea what's going on but trucking on anyway?!]

Actually, Miss, concerning what you just said... what would you call this? [He presents the photo of her with the 'stranger' or victim or whoever!]

[psycholawgy]

How did you get that?!

[ Another psychlock breaks. ]

That was a picture taken four years ago. And we've lost contact since then! I never want to talk to that guy, especially after he dumped me!

[bewrightback]

It was found on the victim's person.

[He taps the photograph.]

It looks like this picture is helping us get a cleared "picture" of what happened. Even if you don't want to talk to him now, you've just admitted that you do have a connection. And a romantic one at that.

[psycholawgy]

Are you on my side, or what? You said you were going to defend me, but you're just like the cops!

[ She crosses her arms and looks away. ]

And you're right about that. I don't want to talk to him. So why would I make him go to my room? Answer me what, Mr. Hairgel!

[bewrightback]

[This should be a vital part. I have to show Athena how important it is to earn a client's trust, even when they aren't happy about an outcome.]

I do intend to defend you, Miss X. But I can't defend you with lies. These are all holes that the prosecution could dig into as well, and that would only make things worse. The only way I can truly defend you is by knowing the truth.

[He tries to look sincerely towards her, regardless of whether she's still turned away.]

And I think I have an idea of why he was there. It has to do with this, didn't it. [And he presents the ring.]
