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!

[Phoenix winces as he overhears the phone call. Alas, poor Gumshoe, we hardly knew ye.]

I'll make a note of that. [He flatly accepts his phone.] When I figure out where my charger went off to...

So... How was Gumshoe?

[This is just awkward. He can't concentrate on any of his work with this scary person on his desk.]

[iwhipthefool]

[She frowns, even more displeased at Phoenix's admission.]

Buy a new one.

[Heck, she'll buy him a new one. Imperfect things annoy her and having a phone at that low of a charge is actually irking her more than she wants to admit.]

As for the fool, he made a most satisfying attempt at apologizing before I cut him off. He'll be back at the office presently, I expect.

...

If he wants to keep his job.

[Not Here]

[paybent]

[Muffled sobs echo from the distance.]

[iwhipthefool]

[Cry all you want, Gumshoe. Her files and dry cleaning better be at her desk when she gets back!!!]

[bewrightback]

[You'd think at this point in his revolving door of having a job, Detective Gumshoe wouldn't be phased by this kind of threat anymore.]

Can you at least reward him if he's back in a timely manner? I think I read a book recently on the effects of positive reinforcement on scruffy detectives...

[But as he thinks over her advice on the cell phone charger, he suddenly voices his problem.]

Hold it! Just because the charger's missing doesn't mean I should buy a new one entirely. [He slams his hands on the desk.] Because if the original turns up later, it will have been a waste of money!

[iwhipthefool]

[She was going to answer the suggestion, but that Hold it! just put her in an entirely different mood. The logic of wasting money is one that isn't lost on her - it just hadn't occurred to her - and so she grimaces at the turn.

She has to think fast, but she snaps the whip in her hands and then points at Phoenix.]

Objection! It isn't a waste of money if you buy a better charger! One that cannot be lost by fools unable to keep track of even simple things, for example!

[Ha! That. Oh dud. She was going to send one to him, but now if she sends it, it'll be obvious it was from her. Darn it!]

And as for the detective, his reward is keeping his job.

[bewrightback]

[He winces at the whip-snap, but then he points back at her.]

Objection! The quality of a charger won't effect someone's ability to lose it, regardless of whether or not they're fools! And losing that... would mean even more money down the drain!

...And are you sure you can't raise the bar just a little for the poor guy? [With the way Edgeworth cuts his checks, he feels extra bad for the guy when Franziska's in town.]
