Because we're not finished yet!
RaindrpsOnRoses
And our opening cutscene is... weird.
go тo вread
yes
RaindrpsOnRoses
I kept waiting for it to be revealed as a movie or TV show, but...
RaindrpsOnRoses
Well, this IS apparently about a time-traveling bride...
RaindrpsOnRoses
And mysterious dirigibles and steampunky time machines? Did we take a left turn into the Professor Layton series?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Also, of course Larry has to show up in the cryptic flashback stills. Because Larry.
RaindrpsOnRoses
.......Larry.
RaindrpsOnRoses
What the fuck are you wearing?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Well, that's about on par for Larry's romantic luck.
RaindrpsOnRoses
What was the name of that airline Edgeworth took in Investigations? I'm pretty sure it wasn't Rainbull, but it'd be a nice little callback if they mention it, at least.
quarter trauma
iFly!
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh, that's right! Thanks! 
RaindrpsOnRoses
I was wondering what was up with the little heart-shaped angel things all over Larry's jacket.
RaindrpsOnRoses
"Cupiglet" actually sounds kinda cute.
RaindrpsOnRoses
And here comes the time travel plot!
RaindrpsOnRoses
Yeah, can't say I blame you, Nick.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Yaaaay, we're gonna be arrested for harboring fugitives~
RaindrpsOnRoses
that a megaphone's feedback I heard right before they started yelling at us?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Mike Meekins didn't get his job as a cop back, did he?
RaindrpsOnRoses
And Ema gives no fucks.
RaindrpsOnRoses
...Larry... /siiiigh
RaindrpsOnRoses
Awww, I'm glad to see Charley's doing well.
RaindrpsOnRoses
omg she has Usagi's bangs.
RaindrpsOnRoses
The only real "spoilers" I have about this case are that it's apparently a huge ship tease/saltfest for Phoenix and Edgeworth...
RaindrpsOnRoses
...And that this girl is nuts.
RaindrpsOnRoses
I've seen her crying into her frying pan (so I guess it's not a DRYing pan anymore, eh? Eh?) on my friend's game...
RaindrpsOnRoses
And the frying pan just came out.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Yup, there we go.
RaindrpsOnRoses
(I first heard the waterworks and thought it was pouring down rain in the game before my friend showed me what was happening.)
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh look, there's an itty bitty Triforce in the center of the pendant! /dork
RaindrpsOnRoses
And now even Larry's getting in on the finger pointing!
RaindrpsOnRoses
"Larry, don't make me send you to time out."
RaindrpsOnRoses
Bye, Larry.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hi, Larry.
RaindrpsOnRoses
And a familiar red sports car enters the scene!
RaindrpsOnRoses
...Maya?!
RaindrpsOnRoses
And NOW Edgeworth comes in.
RaindrpsOnRoses
I... don't really see how Simon would have been cowed into refusing the case.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Klavier, I can maybe see as refusing to prosecute against such a delicate flower? Maybe?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Still don't know what he's up to, though I did see that he's in one of the Asinine Attorney DLCs...
RaindrpsOnRoses
And the "time machine" is our murder weapon?
RaindrpsOnRoses
That's a sweet explanation though, that it'll bring the couple back to the memory of their wedding day every time they see it.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Wonder what the "secret mechanism" is all about...
RaindrpsOnRoses
Also, if the victim was clubbed to death, shouldn't there be blood splatter on the murderer? That dress looked awfully pristine to me...
RaindrpsOnRoses
And no, I don't think the fact that the lady wearing it is a maid counts.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Okay, back to Ace Attorney to take my mind off of current events.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hee, pegamoo.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hey, maybe there's two pegabulls because this is the reception hall for a gay wedding? How many halls does this airship have?
RaindrpsOnRoses
/siiigh/ Really, Nick? You have to wonder who the business card wallet belongs to?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Okay, now that he's gotten a good look at it, he recognizes it. Whew.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hm. Is this Sorin? He's pretty cute...
RaindrpsOnRoses
(Alas, I keep thinking of the last time a maid (or at least a girl who dressed like one) fell in love with the young master she worked for in this franchise.)
RaindrpsOnRoses
(The fact that her name was also Lauren didn't help. XD; )
RaindrpsOnRoses
Aww, model airplane pencil! I want one!
go тo вread
Same.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Nicely done putting Sorin's rambling into terms Maya would get, Nick!
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh, hello new pretty person!
RaindrpsOnRoses
...With a SOLDIER-style shoulder studded shoulder guard.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh god, it's the steampunk version of L'Belle's shoulder pad/epaulet cell phones.
RaindrpsOnRoses
...Pierce Nichody. Persnickety. Welp.
RaindrpsOnRoses
And I missed the "Doom" part of "Dumas" even when they spelled it out at first because I was too wrapped up in thinking of Dumas, the author.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh sure, head to the manor instead of investigating the rest of the airship, like the vista deck where Ellen was supposedly attacked...
RaindrpsOnRoses
A butler in a murder mystery. I am automatically wary.
RaindrpsOnRoses
...Oh no.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Cute smile, nooooooo!
RaindrpsOnRoses
And the steampunk shoulder cell phone is also a portable version of the robot repair rig we saw in the last game!
RaindrpsOnRoses
The madam wants milk tea? She doesn't happen to have giant corkscrew pigtails, does she?
RaindrpsOnRoses
Then again, the black and white doesn't really blend well with the steampunk blues, browns, and brasses...
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hmm, Pierce says that some of the extended family and himself were going to clean up the reception hall, but Ellen claimed that she was doing it on her own as her final job as a maid...
RaindrpsOnRoses
That's one gorgeous photo of the reception...
RaindrpsOnRoses
And then we find a photo of a sharp-looking lady with a very familiar pocket watch on her desk. I like the way her tie matches it, too.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Wonder if she's the part of the past Sorin is supposedly hung up on...
RaindrpsOnRoses
Judging by their hair colors, I'd bet they are/were siblings.
RaindrpsOnRoses
the pocket watch a tragic memento of Pierce's lost, star-crossed beloved?
RaindrpsOnRoses
She WAS a great lady, huh? Yeah, I'm betting she died tragically some time ago.
RaindrpsOnRoses
"Bad luck to catch the bouquet of a marriage that doesn't last"? Well, Pierce did tell us that the couple hadn't signed the marriage license yet, but still, catty.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Yup, I figured Selena was dead. :<
RaindrpsOnRoses
Maybe we should go rescue Athena from Trucy so she can give both Sorin and Pierce some therapy.
RaindrpsOnRoses
"Did you see anything that had to do with the case?
RaindrpsOnRoses
"......Scratch that. Let's start with, you weren't INVOLVED in this case, were you?"
RaindrpsOnRoses
Because when something smells...
RaindrpsOnRoses
Maya, I don't think Larry's "playing" dumb.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Psyche-Locks! I am completely shocked and surprised by their appearance.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Y'know, going back to that whole time travel thing, I'm kind of wondering if it isn't all a massive gaslighting scheme on the part of the Sprockets.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Like, someone clubbed Dumas over the head right as Ellen lost consciousness, then brought her back to that suite or whatever she woke up in and staged the reception all over again.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Skree skree, motherfuckers~
RaindrpsOnRoses
Oh, I spy those flower petals we found with Dumas's body!
RaindrpsOnRoses
And a Pegabull and Pegacow pair...
RaindrpsOnRoses
I'mma take a wild guess and say that the pterodactyl Larry saw through the cabin window was actually that model airplane hanging from the hold's ceiling.
RaindrpsOnRoses
Hey, wait a second.
RaindrpsOnRoses
If Ellen's bridal bouquet was yellow flowers, then why is she holding a white bouquet now?
RaindrpsOnRoses
(My sister had two bouquets at her wedding: one to carry down the aisle, and a separate one to throw at the reception. She ended up accidentally throwing the wrong bouquet, but oh well.)
RaindrpsOnRoses
Pffft, the frying pan clattering to the ground somewhere...
RaindrpsOnRoses
(Though I do have to wonder why an airship cabin would have an interior window, as well as an unobstructed view all the way across to the hold...)
RaindrpsOnRoses
Time for a break, then on to the next plurk for the trial!
