asgardeventide | Performance 001 [Video/Action]

[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.

[He almost screams, but then Trucy mentions she's adopted. So he just sighs instead.]

Okay, uh...Trucy, right? When did Nick adopt you?

[Because he sure as hell doesn't know about any kids of Nick's, adopted or not.]

[She nods at being called Trucy.]

7 years ago. It was right around the time you just started out as a painter again after breaking up with M... Michi... Machi... Miharu? Miharu!

Dude, that's... She literally just dumped me when I ended up here.

I didn't know Nick was thinkin' about adopting a kid... [He's genuinely surprised, although he does think Nick would make a good father. At least, out of the three of them...]

Well, it just sort of happened, he didn't plan on adopting me. It was fate! [That smile is not reaching her eyes.]

Oh! What happened?

[He's excited to finally be hearing more about future!Phoenix.]

[She just sort of stiffens at that. That wasn't exactly a good time for either of them, but she knows he has no way of knowing that.] We met after one of his cases. I was missing my Daddy so he took me in. [Now she has to figure out how to tell Larry Phoenix got disbarred--because he handled that so well the first time.]

[He smiles after hearing her explanation.] That sounds like something Nick would do. He's a good guy. Real good guy.

[That said, he rubs the back of his head like he usually does.] Sorry for freakin' out at you, Trucy. Timelines are really weird here.

Daddy's the best. [Aaand she's back to normal.]

It's okay, it's not every day one of your friends suddenly gets a daughter, Uncle Larry! ...It's okay that I call you Uncle Larry, right?

[Trucy's cheerfulness is contagious.]

Yeah, s'fine! I mean, if I let you in your timeline, why wouldn't I now? [He grins.] I like the idea of having a "niece" anyway.

[She tries.]

It's really good to see you again, Uncle Larry! What house are you in?

And it's nice to meet you! You'll have to tell me all about the future sometime.

I'm in the Freya house. What about you?

Of course! I wonder if there are Samurai Dogs here that we can eat while we talk...

I'm in Loki.

I've even got my own fair share of stories. Me and Nick had some awesome times back in the day. [Stop acting like you're old, Larry.] Y'know, I've looked around, and I haven't seen any! I was thinkin' of trying to make some myself since I'm so used to it.

Lokiii... [He tries to picture the map of Asgard.] I think that's straight across the city from Freya's district. We'll make it work, though!

[That's right, tell Phoenix's embarrassing secrets to his daughter. That's the best part of unclehood.] Your stories are always the best, Uncle Larry. And if you make some, I'll be your first customer.

We can always pick a place in the middle when we meet up. If not, I'm a young, healthy girl who drinks her milk like she's told--I can walk to the Freya district.

[He will tell all the embarrassing secrets!] I hope they aren't all repeats. [He laughs lightly after that. Despite the initial shock of Trucy's appearance and the reveal of her identity, Larry is warming up to her fast.]

Meeting up in the middle works. I'm perfectly capable of moving these old bones myself. [Larry you are 25. 25.]

[Uh oh, Edgeworth, Larry might beat you out for best Uncle.] Even if it is, you never tell them the same way twice. [It's her disarming personality, Larry.]

Don't worry, I would visit you in the hospital if you broke a hip. [Clearly you are over the hill, Larry.]

Hah, you know me too well, Trucy. [Disarming indeed. How can Larry not like her?]

Wow, I like how you say it so nonchalantly. But I better not be breakin' my hip any time soon.

Well I do have 7 years on you, after all... But you'll know me in no time! [If he was a communist he wouldn't like her.]

You better not! [She laughs.] It was just a what-if.
