[ do i know where they are? no. they are in the void until it is plot convenient for them to be elsewhere.

in the meantime, ryunosuke regards her curiously when they meet again. ]

Oh, hello, Ms. Agrece. I think I've settled in as much as anyone can.

[ ... ] Has the omamori caught your eye? I was surprised to see it with the rest of the gifts.

[disingenuous]

Please call me Roxana.

[ She holds the omamori up more, towards him even. ]

I take it you're familiar with it? I wonder if that means one of those four is from a similar place to yours.

[naruhodope]

Maybe. There's quite a lot of Japanese here.

[ a surprising amount, compared to everyone else? but even they share few similarities between them, it seems. ]

Even the architecture at the temple reminds me of home. [ ... ] If it weren't so, um... haunted, you would be able to buy charms like this there.

[disingenuous]

Oh, so it could be if the temple didn't somehow become more infested by spirits, we'd get charms instead?

[ She's not sure how much more useful that is, but then again, how much more useful is one (1) shower? ]

Is there anything else in our package that's familiar to you?

[naruhodope]

[ a little sheepishly, ]

...Actually, we'd probably have to buy them. [ not even a gift! ] But yes, they're meant to be protection charms. Or for good luck, and whatever else.

[ they could use both right now. ]

Otherwise... I've had scones before? Nothing else really stands out, I suppose.

[disingenuous]

We could use both. I don't know if this place has any kind of currency.

[ So maybe they could just take them. What's an economy? ]

It's about the same for me.

[ look at 1900 britain/japan not being too far off from mumbles fantasyland. ]

[naruhodope]

[ they could really use so many omamori right now. especially because he's going to go for asking her something, though there is a moment's pause. ]

Ms. Roxana—about where you came from. I'm sorry if this is forward, but... could it be that your profile has some sort of mistake on it?

[ why is she so villainous? hello? ]

[disingenuous]

[ Oh, he really is taking his chances, isn't? She merely smiles. ]

I don't mind. Are there any mistakes on yours?

[ Is it villainous to answer a question with a question? ]

[naruhodope]

[ sometimes you're just used to picking the probing dialogue choices. ]

...Some of it is a little superfluous. [ most of it. ] But they're not untrue, no.

[disingenuous]

It's the same for mine.

[ Hope Ryunosuke accuses her of murder someday and she dies because of it. ]

I'm not sure what some of it means.

[naruhodope]

[ stop i would never allow you to die ]

...How do you mean?

[disingenuous]

Gaslight? Gatekeep?

[ A beat. ]

I don't know how those are skills or how those are relevant to me. Perhaps I should ask Malik what those mean.

1/2

[naruhodope]

...It's probably nonsense.

[ one of his skills is just 'eating chicken.' how is that a skill. ]

[naruhodope]

[ anyway, more importantly, he straightens up with a curious look, more serious than before. ]

I don't think these descriptions paint a clear picture about anything. They don't tell someone's story. But if it's a summary... yours sounds like it was difficult.

[ there's just a lot there. ]

[disingenuous]

[ i'm going to be honest. eating chicken is the one i drew a blank on when reading his skills. i was like, where???

For a moment, she looks like she's in disbelief, and then she shakes her head. ]

You're right. Some of it is embellished, but we barely know each other.

[naruhodope]

[ laughs don't worry about it

he hums a little, scratching the back of his neck with enough guile to look a bit sheepish. ]

Sorry, am I jumping to conclusions? My job draws my eye to these things.

[disingenuous]

Is being accused of murder part of your job?

[ She smiles. It's a joke, but also.... ]

[naruhodope]

[ he looks so tired. ]

Um... well, my first client was myself, so I guess so.

[ though kazuma really held his hand through that trial. ]

[disingenuous]

[ ... She didn't think it'd be that bad, but wow, Ryunosuke. ]

Was no one available to help you?

[naruhodope]

[ it's fine, his life is comically unfortunate. meanwhile this is probably another sad ara girl with the worst backstory ever. ]

Ah, well—my friend was willing to represent me, but it was better that I took on the case...

There's plenty of people who truly don't end up with counsel, though.

[disingenuous]

[ wow, not every girl i play has a terrible backstory. Ryunosuke was created to be dunked on by virtue of being an Ace Attorney protagonist. ]

The law system of my world isn't like yours, I think, but it seems like you were successful if you went on to have more clients.

[naruhodope]

[ yeah i'm sure roxana grew up perfectly normal and is not a vampire ]

Legal systems are different wherever you look—though that's taken to the extreme here.

[ he just nods at mention of his 'success' though. his record in court is pretty solid, actually, but it's not something he'd boast about. ]

But I'm fairly sure murder is illegal everywhere. [ the way he says it—it's not the wide-eyed terror he flusters about with most days. it's not even an accusation. it's just an observation. a press, if you will. ]
