Phoenix Wright

[Lightning and Phoenix had gone pretty much directly to Goldenrod after dropping Namine off in Cherrygrove, so Phoenix has arrived in the Big City significantly faster than he had the first time he'd tried getting here.

The video feed opens with a small Shinx curled up on a bench next to the lawyer, dozing happily, with Phoenix's Aipom perched on his lap, nibbling happily on a treat.]

I'd forgotten how big this city is. It's a little like home, at least, moreso than Violet or Cherrygrove -- but is it just me, or is it even BIGGER than it was before?

[Maybe he's just not used to the train actually running. Prin looks up from her snack, giggles up at him. Phoenix's hand comes into frame to give the Aipom some very welcome head pets.] Anyway, I was wondering what the job market here is like nowadays. Is there a demand for defense attorneys yet? It's hard to believe no one here has done anything illegal. (Or done anything illegal and gotten CAUGHT.)

[Then again, there aren't really any courts here either, huh? You might just be shit outta luck for applying your skill set here, Phoenix.]

If I have to go back to my minimum-wage college days, it's not like I mind, but -- after finally getting my badge back, I feel weird not putting it to work. So if anyone ever needs any kind of legal counsel...just give me a call.

Oh! Right. [Phoenix pans back to the snoozing Shinx, who has rolled over onto his back, little feet kicking in the air a little.] I haven't thought of a name for this guy yet. Any suggestions?

[Private audio to Killua Zoldyck:]

Hey, sorry for not getting in touch sooner! We were in a bit of a rush.

I got those flowers you wanted in Cherrygrove. Were you going to send someone to come get them, or...? I'm in Goldenrod at the moment, if that helps.
