Performance 001 [Video/Action]

[mybffmrhat]

[The video turns on as a teenage girl, wearing a blue silk cape held together by a diamond-shaped clasp and black dress, red neck scarf and baby blue silk hat stares intently a a piece of paper in her opposite hand. Looking up, she notices that hey, pushing the button actually did something! Her surprise quickly turns to delight, and she breaks into a huge smile.]

Well this certainly isn't the Wonder Bar, but one place is as good as another right? After all, a performer's gotta be quick on their toes! I just wish however took me would have asked first, I would have said yes...

Anyway, this letter and the lady that gave it to me are right about one thing--this place definitely needs more color, so let me help liven things up! My name is Trucy Wright, magician and CEO of the Wright Anything Agency and once I find a place to perform, I'll start up my famous magic act in this Asgard place! Please come see me!

[She looks around her surroundings, then adds:] I guess the lions are one way to liven things up. Not my first choice, but I like it.

[Apollo does still (sort of, secretly) think Mr. Wright is the coolest, even though he is annoying at virtually all times, so that thought doesn't occur to him.]

Just be careful with it.

I can show you to your house. I know where it is. It's further into the district. [He'll just guide her away from that nightclub, while being careful of the lions. What has his life become?] And let me know if you have any other questions about this place.

[And the last few sentences got retconned away to Trucy being excited "Uncle Miles" is here too.]

I'm a professional.

[She'll be following you without complaint.] When did you get here?

[attorneyatloud]

[Yay, Uncle Miles! Apollo probably did not expect yet was ultimately not surprised by the informal title Trucy gave to the impressive Mr. Edgeworth.]

I know. You are. [He smiles at this. Trucy being here does make him feel better, in spite of his worry.] I bet you can use it in your act somehow. Not that you need it.

I've been here more than a month now. [He pauses, blinks.] It feels like longer, somehow. But a month's long enough to be stuck in this weird place.

[Hey if you're family, things become very informal fast. Remember, Polly <3?]

Don't forget! [She smiles back at him. Maybe it's because she's got 7 years worth of training on how to make people feel better?] Maybe I can finally master levitation... and it would be real too!

But Polly, I just saw you yesterday....

[attorneyatloud]

[That is true...]

How could I forget? You're the greatest, right? [As far as he's concerned, she is. Not that he knows a lot about magicians.] If anyone can do it, I bet you can. [And that could be why, but also, it makes him feel less lonely.]

Yesterday? Really? But that's impossible. I know I've been here that long. I remember coming here. I was on my way to work, and suddenly I appeared in that castle. [He'd almost fallen off his bike in his shock.]

[mybffmrhat]

I knew there was a reason I liked you. [Her smile could light up Asgard.] You should use your fire magic stuff in my show. Maybe light hoops on fire then jump through them!

I know it was yesterday. I wonder if time works weird here.

[attorneyatloud]

Oh, well, it's just the truth!

[Apollo believes in supporting her talent. However, Trucy's plan is starting to sound alarming already, quite frankly.]

Hoops? I... I don't know about that. I don't think I'm cut out for show business. Too--showy.

[He nods.] There are people from all different times and worlds here, so it makes sense that it would.

[mybffmrhat]

[More beaming.]

That's just stage fright talking. It's really no different than being in court--except you don't have another person's life on the line when your performing. [...Usually.]

Really? What kinds of people? [She met a few while waiting, but she's real good at playing dumb.]
