Hmm, I was bored. Yes, that is the excuse. It's an excuse many have, so humor me…actually, no, I take that back. I did create this for a reason. My…OOC meter has been out-of-whack as of late, and I want it back in working order. That and I was curious. Oh, and keep in mind I own nothing here. ~Finalage

Ask Ace Attorney: Wright Anything Agency Edition

Well, maybe Finalage has gone mad. Hello Ace Attorney Fanatics, and welcome too…Ask Ace Attorney, as cliché as the name is…as you may have already surmised, this is one of those…"Post a question to a character.", rags that pop up every now and again, only I didn't see this type of rag here yet. So I tossed it in; how quaint of me.

Obviously, the rules for this are very simple. You review the story with a list of questions you'd like to ask this character or other, and I'll try my best to get the cast to answer you…in their typical whacky ways. Some answers may surprise you, others will be spot on, but you can be sure that the forth wall…is not only well painted but severely shattered with an assortment of large wrecking balls.

Some guidelines if you will:

1. If you wish to ask a question of a "dated" character, you must make a note of this. For example, is you wish to pose a question to the "Lawyer" Phoenix, say so, as opposed to asking the father Phoenix, or "Hobo" Phoenix, a question. The same stands true for Trucy and Ema, and I suppose Franziska, Miles Edgeworth and company.

2. Originally, I would have barred questioning from the Miles Edgeworth set of games, but now, since I have played the first. The restriction is only on the second, you know, the one with the weird floating logic chess pieces and-*further talk expunged for possible spoiler reasons*

3. Despite me being your host, there can be author cameos that will take the stage if they so desire…those will expressly PM me and discuss with me details on how their appearances will go down. Original characters of said authors are allowed to make cameos too, however…

3a. Cameos by original characters should be limited per chapter, and as per the agreement of authenticity, they should not be the target of questions, nor should they be the main focus of a chapter. The purpose of a cameo is to provide a certain atmosphere or amount of comic relief/fear for the main cast, or for promotional purposes.

4. This rag is also for requests. HOWEVER, abiding by the caps lock abuse law here…requests take a long time to fulfill. Much longer than the answering of questions do. Reason being is simple. When you ask a character a question, you are allowing them to answer in turn. Making a request requires me to pull out the old author's pen and create a whole chapter, which takes a lot more planning than the simple natural logic and personality analysis born from questions.

5. Obviously, you may ask more than one question, and of more than one character, within one post, and you can ask more questions latter on if you so desire, simply review again.

6. Unlike most Question and Answer fictions that I have seen, I like to put effort into background and character reactions, this means that the format will look more like a story than a survey, so bear with me, I do it all for qualities sake.

7. Characters retain the right to deny answering a question if they so desire, however, I won't use this as a lazy card. I'll only employ this right if I feel the question is really something that the characters themselves would refuse to answer…so don't piss them off!

Finally…your questions do not only have to get reactions from one character. You can be certain that there will be banter and interaction between those present in the "room" so be wary of that too. You wouldn't want Franziska randomly pulling out that oh so supple length of whip against another character…would you?

Actually, I take that back…you would want that, wouldn't you?

Ahh, a final side note. I, your host, am Alexander Lexicon; however, my purpose is nothing large in this piece. I am part comic relief and part mouth piece for the fool who writes this. As a cameo, I am currently breaking the rules by being the main focal point in a chapter. This is perhaps not the only time this will happen, so pardon me.

So, how do you write a request letter?

Well, here is a sample letter, with a few questions stamped on for kicks.

Test Reviewer Wrote:

Am I starting this off? That's surprising…hmmm…well; I guess I want to ask Hobo Nick a question. It's about your hat…did Trucy make that for you, or was it bought?

I guess I'll toss a question at Edgeworth too…tell me honestly, was there ever a person you were interrogating that tried to distract you…"unprofessionally"?

Looking at the letter, I already had a feeling for what was going to happen, but, the first question was innocent enough so…I let the letter hang slackly on the tips of my fingers. Indicating my head in Phoenix's direction, I tossed him the scrap, which he caught and dutifully read; he was sprawled lazily on his own couch, in control.

"Ha. Well-"

I had to still his mouth here, pointing to the offending piece of technology near me. The man operating it moved closer, and I glared at him. He'd already had me bang my forehead on that demonic microphone of his twice, I didn't need another round.

"Into the camera if you will; Mr. Wright."

The man took a quick glance to make sure his daughter wasn't present before he gave a smirk at the lens.

"Right…well yeah. Trucy made this hat for me when she was about…well, not quite ten. She was really excited to give it to me, if I remember right…it was for Father's day you see, and she had been jumping around like some kind of Texas bean all day. I could tell instantly she made it for herself, after all, I've never seen anything like it in the stores near, and the sewing was bunched in some places…but hey, that made it all the warmer…we have a kind of promise behind it, so I don't like taking it off much, if you don't mind."

"No one said they did, Mr. Wright."

"Yo. Edgeworth, catch."

Phoenix threw the letter, but Edgeworth, who had been absorbed in something else, looked up a bit too late.

"Catch what Wright-gah! Wright! This is…one of those things…already? May I pass this reading?"

"Better take the harmless ones first Edgeworth; you'll need to save that refusal of yours for something really hairy…"

"Wright, I have better things to do than answer some silly fan mail-"

"Right now, Edgeworth? We've got nothing better to do. Might as well answer the question. It isn't all that bad."

"…Was there ever a person you were interrogating that tried to distract you…"unprofessionally"…?"

"Yep."

"You mean besides the usual fare of…"…characters…" I have to deal with?"

Phoenix looked off out into space for the span of a few seconds. Edgeworth wasn't amused.

"Wright."

"The question doesn't specify Edgeworth."

"I demand a specification!"

"You're being unreasonable Edgeworth…besides; you can't squeeze testimony out of a piece of paper. Interpret."

In truth, Edgeworth didn't even want to be in this room at the moment, let alone answering questions about his life. Still, Wright was correct, so Edgeworth…interpreted. His arms folded across his chest and his eyes shut for a few seconds while his finger tapped out a beat against his elbow. He spoke in this manner to the open air; the cameraman had to go to him.

"Well of course there were people who, during interrogation, tried to distract me unprofessionally, not the least of which was Calisto Yew, what with her habit of pointing a loaded gun at somebody when I corner her…twice! First myself and then Kay, quite unprofessional, wouldn't you say, Wright?"

"… I think the question meant something else, but I suppose you're right…and I did say interpret. Way to take the snake's route there, Edgeworth..."

+-~E~-+

Well, there is no guarantee that each question will receive such emphasis (may be more, may be less), but to be sure, I'm not going to have characters answer you in a blank space.

Oh, on a side note, I will have my next chapter in my other Ace Attorney fiction up soon, I'm just dissatisfied with OOC'ness, and thus, this was born to give me a more rooted understanding of the character's I am trying to portray. I think Edgeworth is off here, but hey, I'm trying to fine tune my knowledge of how characters act here, so they are going to be off while I adjust. ~Finalage
