All right. I think I get the general idea of what's going on. There's some sort of war going on, and a bunch of people got pulled in here to help fight it by... going back in time and fixing things to get rid of the enemy this place is fighting right now?

... I guess that makes sense.

(No it doesn't. This is unbelievable. It sounds good for a movie plot but it can't be real life. I never signed up for this...)

Anyway, this is like a webcam, right? I don't know how many people can actually see this, but -- er -- my name is Phoenix Wright. I'm a lawyer. [It totally matters here. It makes him slightly more comfortable now that that's out of his mouth. Yes! He is a lawyer, everyone. He scratches the back of his head for a second.]

Does anyone know a girl named Maya? She's about this tall [he steps back from the table he set the tablet on to demonstrate "really short"] and wears purple robes and her hair looks like this. [an interesting demonstration of a topknot.] If anyone knows her, please tell her I'm looking for her.

Or if you see this, Maya! Tell me where you are and I'll come get you!

(Please respond, Maya, please be able to figure out how to use this thing!)

U-uh, I don't know. I guess that depends on what you want me to do.

I'm glad I was able to find you, though.

How about burgers? I've got a lot to explain, you know, and I can't just do it on an empty stomach!

Yeah, you were really freaking out.

action!

[thebluepawn]

I was worried, okay?

I think I found some money in the room, so if it's okay to use... I can get you burgers.

action!

[acemedium]

If you keep worrying so much, all your spiky hair's gonna fall out! [But there's a grateful tinge to her teasing smirk]

It's probably yours, then. [Wow, no argument.] Okay, and then we can start with the explaining!

action!

[thebluepawn]

Are you sure? I don't want to be accused of stealing -- augh.

Fine, let's go!

[Don't have traumatic lunch money flashbacks, Nick] Would this adorable face lie to you?

[And Maya starts off, leading him easily. There's an extra little bounce in her step; she might be happier about this than she should be]

action!

[thebluepawn]

... No, I don't think so?

[He wouldn't call Maya a liar, not even jokingly. As Maya leads him, he casts one last worried look at the room he was in before shutting the door behind him (that wallet in his pocket) and following her, trotting to catch up and walk beside her.]

How are you, Maya?

action!

[acemedium]

You better not think so! [Slight pout, here]

[She nearly quickens her pace to speed off to eat first thing... but manages to contain herself to keeping in step with him]

I'm hungry! The question is, how are you? This is all weird to you, isn't it?

action!

[thebluepawn]

Honestly i'm kind of worried. I mean, this isn't anywhere close to home, is it? And Edgeworth said it's not even close to the present year.

action!

[acemedium]

Nah, we're in the future and stuff. And in the British future!

.... Wait... You talked to Mr. Edgeworth?

action!

[thebluepawn]

Huh? Yeah, I saw him talking on that tablet thing, and he even came over to explain things to me.

action!

[acemedium]

[....]

What did he tell you? And... what did you think?

action!

[thebluepawn]

Well, he told me this is futuristic post-apocalyptic England, that we're in a war... and that there were people from home here, like you! And honestly it, um. I'm still trying to process it.

action!

[acemedium]

And then you freaked out on the network to find me? [She appreciates it, really.]

It's a lot to take in at first.... Did he say anything else?

action!

[thebluepawn]

I was looking for you before he even told me, actually. But he's the one who told me there were other people...

He really just explained why we're here.
