[The feed ends almost as soon as it begins. Only a flicker of video is shown before it cuts out.

However, it goes in and out several times, and each time it shows a brown-haired man in a bright orange blazer with an awestruck expression on his face. He seems to be pressing several buttons on his screen at once, saying something that's hard to make out since he keeps cutting the feed out. In reality, this idiot has probably made several little video embeds on accident.]

Ho-- [click] he hec-- [click] does this th-- [click] work?! ... Ah?

[Finally, the feed is stable. The man grins, triumphant that he got it to work.]

Finally! Man, this thing is so cool! I never thought I'd get to touch a real holographic screen in my lifetime. This stuff is only in sci-fi movies back home!

Anyway, the name's Larry Butz, and I'm stayin' in the Freya House from now on. Y'know, the house that's practically full of girls? Yeah, that one. [He looks especially proud of this.] Nice to meet you guys, and stuff.

But my main reason for this post was I wanted to ask you guys something. What do you do for fun around here? I saw some kind of "comfort house" on the way to the welcome hall and that looks promising, but what else is there here? Any clubs or something like that?

[Is it obvious enough that this guy lost his map? And what about that "mission" they're supposed to be on? This man has other priorities.

He looks thoughtful for a moment, as if he's trying to figure out how to end this ridiculous post.]

So, uh, yeah. Thanks!

When I need to. And, even though the natives are currently harmless, we can't say the same for those who have arrived with us.

[A beat.]

What did Franziska say?

[video]

[failures]

Yeah, we're all not exactly lifeless zombies.

She said you guys have been here for weeks...when I just saw you a week ago.

[video]

[prosecutory]

She's correct. Time...flows differently here. I take it you last saw us during the case at the embassy?

[video]

[failures]

Yeah. So we get to deal with time paradoxes too? Add another crazy thing to figure out to the list!

[video]

[prosecutory]

Yes.

[Larry was most likely going to be dealing with time paradoxes very soon if he met Apollo Justice. Again, Miles frowns; not out of annoyance, but...it's hard to tell. Frustration? Exasperation again? Disbelief?

Should he tell Larry about what he had heard about Phoenix? He had kept everything Apollo had told him to himself so far...]

[video]

[failures]

Whaaat a place this is.

[Out of annoyance or not, Edgeworth is still frowning and Larry is going to comment on it.

Jokingly,]

C'mon Edgey, stop acting like you're not happy to see me. You know you missed me.

[video]

[prosecutory]

Well, I certainly missed the solitude that comes with not having you around to attract trouble.

[video]

[failures]

Wh-Who says I'm going to attract trouble here?!

Edgey, I'm hurt.

[video]

[prosecutory]

I do, because you have proven time and again that whenever something smells, it is, without a shadow of a doubt, the Butz!

[video]

[failures]

Come on man, cut me some slack! Like ninety percent of the time it wasn't even my fault!

[He's likely overstating that, but he doesn't care.]

[video]

[prosecutory]

Perhaps not, but you still manage to contribute to these messes!

[video] 1/2

[failures]

I-It's not like I try to... [sniffle]

[video]

[failures]

Besides, you'd have no excitement in your life without me in it!

[video]

[prosecutory]

[You don't even need to try, Larry.]

You bring far too much "excitement".

[video]

[failures]

Well you're just gonna half to deal with it, 'cause I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

[video]

[prosecutory]

[At least not until the gods decide that they no longer need you to breathe life back into this city.]

Just...be careful. If you recall, each of us has been given powers related to our Houses.

[Please, please DON'T CAUSE TROUBLE WITH YOUR POWER WHATEVER IT MAY BE it is usually one of two.]

[video]

[failures]

[Wow, rude!]

... Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Edgey, what house are you even in? And what's your power?

[video]

[prosecutory]

Odin.

...

My power is ice magic.

[video]

[failures]

... Wow, that's really fitting.

[At least the last part is. He has no idea what Odin is like.]

Maybe now you'll be able to actually freeze people with your icy glare!

[video]

[prosecutory]

[What. He frowns, and answers dryly:]

No, Larry, I can't.

[video]

[failures]

But have you tried?

[video]

[prosecutory]

I can only freeze things I touch, and I am not about to try it with anyone - or anything alive, for that matter.

[What he doesn't know is that once he hits level 3, he'll be able to freeze living things.]

[video]

[failures]

Pfft, figures. [He's totally devising ways to take advantage of Edgeworth's ability though.] I don't think I'll get to test my power any time soon either.

[video]

[prosecutory]

[HE IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL ICE CUBE MAN, LARRY.]

...You already know what your power is?

[This early? Wait...Freya House. He may have used it by accident. On some poor suspecting lady.]

[video]

[failures]

[YES HE IS.]

Well yeah. The maid said something about having to kiss someone to use it. I dunno what it actually does, but I'm not about to randomly test it on someone. I like my body being in tact, thanks.
