Performance 003 [Video/Action]

[mybffmrhat]

[When the feed turns on, Trucy has her free arm around a very well-groomed, well-behaved golden retriever. Though she's smiling, the smile definitely doesn't meet her eyes.] Hi everyone! Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted everyone to know that Apollo Justice seems to have gone home. Normally I would have just told his friends, but I wasn't exactly sure of everyone my brother hung out with, and I didn't want to miss anyone.

[She hugs the golden retriever.] If anyone's looking for Clams, she's going to be with me, isn't that right girl?

[She goes to turn it off, only to stop at the last second.] Oh! Conan, if you're listening to this, can I talk to you? Thanks! [She really does turn it off this time.]

[ Apollo too? It's hard to lose a department member and Conan regrets that he didn't spend more time with him these last few days. If he hadn't been moping ...

Still, if anyone feels bad about this, it's Trucy. Conan swallows, making the effort to meet Trucy with the same demeanour of control that she made her announcement with.]

It's -- sad news, but I appreciate you letting us know.

What's up, Trucy-neechan?

[video]

[mybffmrhat]

[She has... lots of issues about appearing weak to other people.] Oh hey, Conan! I know with my brother gone you're down a person, so if it's okay with you can I take his place?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah -- we'd definitely welcome you, Trucy-neechan!

[video]

[mybffmrhat]

Anything he can do I can do better![Okay that's not true, but confidence is everything, right? She wants to keep everything ready for Apollo if/when he comes back.

She puts a finger to her lips.] ...Just don't tell him I said that, okay?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Your secret is safe with me!

Ne, you've met most of the department already, but do you want to take today to get ready and I'll introduce your formally as a department member tomorrow?

((except not because of flooding?))

[video]

[failures]

Apollo was your brother? [Huh. He wouldn't have guessed.

And then it hits him. Trucy's brother has gone home. That's gotta suck.]

... I'm sorry. You gonna be okay?

[video]

[mybffmrhat]

O-oh, yeah. [Crap, she forgot Apollo was still sort of secretive about that.

She nods.] He just went home. Don't worry about me, Uncle Larry, I can take care of myself.

[video]

[failures]

You sure? You know if you need anything, I'm right here.

[He's still practicing with this uncle thing, but he does worry...]

[video]

[mybffmrhat]

[Aww oh man Larry that was the right thing to say. She's smiling like crazy now.] Uncle Larry you're the best.

...Don't tell Uncle Miles, okay?

video.

[respectus]

[ apollo, huh. but it looks like the little boss's already quick on the uptake, so-- ] Guess we'll be short one pair of hands.

Didn't know he had a sister.

video.

[mybffmrhat]

Are you in the forensics department too?

We just sort of found out before he left.

video.

[respectus]

Yeah. Intern.

Short reunion.

video.

[mybffmrhat]

Well I was going to take Polly's place so you weren't short. My name's Trucy Wright, nice to meet you.

[She smiles, but it's not genuine.] We know each other back home, we just didn't know we were related.

[ video ]

[integrous]

... Huh..? [ She's staring at the dog. ] That dog was his'? I didn't even know people had pets here.

[ video ]

[mybffmrhat]

[Moves her hand so the camera to focus more on Vongole (the Golden Retriever's real name).] Well technically it was his former boss' back home, but since he's in jail for the rest of his life for murdering two people, Polly took him in. And she just showed up here around the same time I did, when a couple of people got things from home.

[ video ]

[integrous]

[ okay, okay, let's put the 'murdering two people' thing aside for now, that's what hse's telling herself-- ]

Man, I can't believe those kidnapper gods are actually letting us have pets..

[ video ]

[mybffmrhat]

[Aw, but the story of Kristoph Gavin is so much fun!]

I know Polly wasn't the only one with a dog, so maybe more people have other pets?

You still on this whole "we were kidnapped" thing?

[prosecutory]

...I see.

[Apollo was a good...well, colleague was one way to put it. Edgeworth's brow furrows, especially after he learns that the defense attorney had a sister.]

He...was your brother?

[mybffmrhat]

[She nods.] Half.

[prosecutory]

Half...Wright did not adopt him as well?

[mybffmrhat]

[Huh? Oh!] No, he just worked for me. Daddy doesn't know about mommy, let alone me and Apollo. [Actually he totally does. Surprise!]

[shellseamagic]

He's gone? [ That wasn't something Lamiroir had expected to happen. ]

[Video]

[shellseamagic]

[ Though she quickly recovers her composure, folding her arms. ] ...I really do not understand the gods' choices. But at least he is safe back home. [ Even if they're separated--now she knows how to find them. This isn't permanent.

Still, the separation hurts, and it must hurt for Trucy too. ] How are you feeling?

[Video]

[mybffmrhat]

[Ack, maybe she should have broke it to mom a bit differently?] Well, either that or he just left Clams alone, but that's not like Polly at all.

[Another somewhat fake smile.] I'm fine, mom. What about you?

[Video] ...@_@ laaaaate

[shellseamagic]

No, I think you're right. I just... [ No, she shouldn't say that. It would worry Trucy; even if it didn't, it sounds bad. ] It was a surprise.

[ She smiles a bit at 'mom', but there's no taking off the concerned cast to her expression. ] I'm all right. He has a good head on his shoulders, so there's no need to worry.
