There's a slow beating sound running through the air the dancers jump and jive to the beat of a taiko drum
They jump and dash across the stage dipping and diving with grace and ease
Then for the grand finale as the main performer is tossed into the air then silence until the stage lights come crashing down crushing her duet partner in the process
Screams ring throughout the crowd as people are thrown into a panic
Fo Pas Ace Attorney Case 1-2: A Rhythmic Turnabout
Our Cast
Fo Pas: A young and upcoming attorney who believes in truth and justice above all else, can never seem to look tidy
Yung Un: Fo Pas's mentor and associate runs the law firm
Spring Rain: Fo Pas's childhood friend and first client, currently living alone due to the death of her mother
>December 27th Un Law Offices
>1:00 PM
(Well it's official there is literally nothing for me to do)
It's been two weeks since your first case and noone has called in, I suppose it's to be expected when some attorney's are out there defending professional actors while all you did was stop some supossed business man.
Yung: What's wrong Pas? You seem dissapointed.
It's just that we haven't gotten a case in weeks, I thought that if you if you solved cases you got business from people wanting help
Yung: Haha! It's not that easy, you don't just become a successful lawyer right out of the gate!
Yeah whatever, I guess you're right
Yung: Aw chin up, I'm sure we'll get a client soon enough
*knock knock*
Yung: Look! there's someone now!
As I get up to reach the door It swings open slamming my nose in the process
OW!!
Rain: Fo! I want to Ohmygoshi'msosorryididn'tmeantohityouinthenosepleaseforgiveme
Rainy, please clam down it's fine, what is it that you want? You don't need defending again do you?
Rain: What? O-oh no! Actually, I came here to apply for a Job!
...You what?
Welcome to Ace Attorney Quest! This is the story of Fo Pas and up and coming attorney who became a lawyer in order to put criminals in their place!
Last time we helped our friend Spring Rain get aqquited in the case concerning the death of her mother November
Now she has just showed up in the office asking for a job well first things first,
>What do you ask her?
>>976613
Ask why she wants to work here
>>976615
What a second Rain, why on earth would you want to work here? Do you even have an legal experience?
Rain: Well no, but after you helped me in court I feel like I have to pay you back in some way!
You...
>Agree
>Respectfully decline
>Other (What else?)
>>976618
>Agree
Why not?
I'm sure she can be helpful
Just as a notice there will be wrong and right answers in this quest just like there are wrong and right answers in Ace Attorney

>>976619
I mean sure, why not?
(Wait! What am I thinking?! I haven't asked Mr. Yung Un!)
A-actually hold that thought for a second Spring
Rain: O-oh okay!
>>976631woops
What do you do now?
>Respectfully decline
>Other(What else?)
>>976636
>Other(What else?)
Convince the boss to let her work.
>>976781
This
The good thing about having a quest that noone cares about is breaks in between replies:^)

Hey Mr. yung can Spring apply for a job here?
(I doubt he'll let her I mean, she doesn't have any experience, why would he let her-)
Yung: Of course, I don't see why not!
Oh okay...wait What!? Boss are you sure about this? She doesn't have any court experience!
Yung: She won't need any if she acts as your assisstant
My what?
Yung: Your assisstant! You know, a legal aid?
But I just started do I really deserve a legal aid already?
Yung: you more than proved your worth with that first trial, you didn't even need my help!
Well if that's the case, Rain, welcome to the office!
Rain: Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou! I promise I won't-
TV: This just in, one of the lead dancers in the widely popular Cirque du Lune performance died due to an onstage mishap when a stage light fell down on him crushing him to death more details are currently being investigated as we speak stay tune for more info
Yung:... well look at that, maybe you two should go scope that out?
You got it Boss! Come on Rainy!
Rain: Right!
>December 27th
>Los Angeles Arts Center
>1:45 PM
Well here we are, my lord this place is crowded
Rain: It makes sense, there was a murder recently I hope noone else was injured, n-not that I don't care about the deceased of course!
It's fine Rainy I got what you meant, maybe we should start looking around?
>Where do you want to look?
>>976876
Welcome to the investigation! In this part of the quest you ask around for clues and gather evidence for your big trial! You aren't preparing for one now though;^)
Simply answer where you want to look and information will be given to you!
>>976876
Inside the building (auditorium? Whatever it's called)
Most obvious place to enter.
And probably where the performers are at
(You should probably just list possible locations to go to. Makes it easier to keep track of things for us)
>>976876
Get inside and follow the rumours.
>>976932Got it locations only
__________________________________________
>Concession Area
>1:50
Well here we are
(This place is filled to the brim with reporters)
???: Excuse me sir!
Huh me?
???: Yes would be open for a statement regarding the death of lead stage performer Preston Former?
What? Me? I-I'm sorry but I just got here I wouldn't be of any help.
???: Uh that figures thank for wasting my time
(The reporter stalk away her pace quick and rigid)
Rain: That was sure was strange, anyway we should probably keep moving towards the inner auditorium
R-right
(Are all reporters that pushy?
>Main Stage
>1:50
???: Hold it right there pal!
Oh god what now!
In front you stood large man in a green overcoat with some patchy stubble and a bandage on his face
???: I can't let you pass through here, official police business!
Who are you supposed to be?
Gumshoe: The names Dick Gumshoe, detective from the local precinct!
(Wait a second, why would a detective be at an accidental murder?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHV9UymO5Hk
Well regardless, what do you ask him?
>His reason for being here
>What exactly Happened?
>>977030
>His reason for being here
>>977055
Hang on a second, your a detective? What is a detective doing at the scene of an accidental stage murder?
Gumshoe: I'm here investigating- I mean! I'm here uh to escort the body! Yeah that's it!
(Oh please, you don't have to be a lawyer to know that this guy is full of it)
Alright then, thank you (I'm not gonna get anything else out of him regarding this, time to move on)
What's next?
>What exactly happened?
>>977087
>What exactly happened?
>>977102
Well, can you at least tell me what's going on here ?
Gumshoe: Well alright, nothing the news won't already tell you though
(This situation doesn't seem very funny to me)
Gumshoe: During their most recent performance one of the lead performers and his partner were performing the final act, as his partner was lifted up into the air the stage lights fell downards
Gumshoe: Oddly enough his duet partner wasn't found until after the whole incident occured it's pretty suspicious pal.
(I think I get it now I should probably press on this)
>His reason for being here
>The Detective's suspicions
>The Performer's partner
>>977155
>His reason for being here
Ask him how his investigation is going.
Gumshoe is gullible enough to answer and confirm our suspicions.
>>977197
So detective let me ask you how's your investigation going detective?
Gumshoe: W-what why would I need to investigate pal, hehe...
...
Gumshoe: Oh alright pal, but don't tell anyone I told you this okay? My salary depends on it!
Gumshoe: We actually are here to escort the body but it's more than that, we suspect foul play may be involved
! Did you just say foul play?
Gumshoe: That's right pal
(Cripes, this isn't good)
>The Detective's suspicions
>The Performer's partner
>>977238
>The Detective's suspicions
>>977252
So what suspicions does the police department hold?
Rain: I think I can guess that!
Huh? Rain?
Rain: Since the partner disappeared, you guys suspect she had something to do with death right?
Gumshoe: Wow you're dead on pal although I guess that much would be obvious huh?
(In hindsight, that was pretty much the only conclusion someone could make)
Hm, well then can you tell me about his partner?
>The Performer's partner
>>977283
>The Performer's partner
>>977283
Ah yeah Preston's partner Carla Whisper. She's a fantastic gymnast and acrobat. Not to mention, drop dead gorgeous pal!
(I wouldn't know, I never watched any of the shows)
Even though she plays second fiddle to the main performer she has her own fans as well! Some even say she should be the star of the show!
If that's the case, wouldn't be kind of strange for her to risk her career like this?
Gumshoe: Well pal we are just investigating, not exactly arresting anyone just yet. Who knows? Maybe some evidence will come up to prove her innocence!
Hm... (somehow I doubt that)
Well I think I've asked everything I wanna ask, thanks for the info detective.
Gumshoe: No problem pal, but remember don't go around blabbin to everyone alright?
Don't worry my lips are sealed.
Rain: Well Fo what do we do now
I think we're done here, we should probably head on back to the office, turns out there wasn't much for us to do here.
Rain: Alright then, let's go!
_________________________________________
>Un Law Offices
>2:15 PM
Huh it looks like noones home
Rain: I wonder where Mr. Un went
TV: We interrupt your current broadcast for breaking news
I really don't like the sound of that
TV: Lead performer Preston's death was not accidental, investigation by the local police discovered that the strings holding up the stage lights had been tampered with causing the fall.
TV: Preston's co-lead was arrested as a prime suspect due to new details discovered over the course of the investigation
...
Rain: Look on the bright side, at least we're getting plenty of exercise today right
(Something tells me I'm not gonna like what I have to do next)
To Be Continued
And we're done for today, Sorry about that huge gap for the last post, nature called
I have plans to continue either tommorow or the day after tat should be the last investigation before the first trial starts
I hope all who participated enjoyed, any comments and criticism are welcome and appreciated
>>977503
Insofar it's good.
I already mentioned the locations and such so I think that's it.hopefully we find a chance to waifu Rain before it's too late
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUFWXpYJKaI
I have never seen a man start out so good and tumble so much down.

@MegaJimenez
Currently away from home though should be back into tommrow
Starting in a bit
>Detention Center
>2:45 PM
>Visiting Room
Rain: Um Fo? Why did we come straight to the detention center?
Just give it a minute
As soon as he says that a young looking woman in a pink leotard walks into the detention center with her hair done up in a bun she takes a seat in the chair behind the glass
Ms. Whisper?
Whisper: Huh? Are you the person they said wanted'a see me?
That's correct
Whisper: Well waddaya wanna know?
Rain: Huh I didn't expect her to have an accent of all things
(Me neither but that's not important at the moment)
Ms. Whisper, if it's alright with you I'd like to ask you a couple questions regarding the murder of your partner Preston Former
Whisper: Oh that's why your here huh? Fine, ask whatever you want
Fair Enough
>Hm? What should I ask her?
>What happened
>Where she was during the incident
>Her relationship with Preston
