"Oh, hello, Wright."

"Oh, hey, Edgeworth. You know what I found out a while ago and cared so little about that I didn't tell you but just remembered so I might as well tell you now?"

"What would that be, Wright?"

"They're making an opera out of the Ace Attorney games."

".... What in the.... Why?"

"I guess they must think it's a good idea or something... I don't know. To be honest, I think it sucks, especially for everybody who doesn't live in Japan and is a fan of my games. I mean, chances are they won't be allowed to tape the performance and crappy bootlegs and youtube videos will be the only option for fans outside of Japan to actually see the thing. Then having it translated or subtitled so they at least know what the hell is going on."

"Wright, don't you suppose they could be taking all that time and effort and actually catering to fans all around the world by making a manga or something?"

"Oh, they're way ahead of you, Edgeworth. They've already made one, but see it's just a bunch of random little short story doujinshis by various artists."

"...So there's no central plot to it? Or a unified style?"

"Nope.."

"Doesn't that seem kind of strange that they could make this huge opera that Rin-neechan isn't going to watch, but they couldn't even hire a decent artist and writer to put together another trial or something for the manga's story? That's about as lame as Liquid Snake's british accent."

"It sure is, Edgeworth. Needless to say, Rin-neechan is about as disappointed with Ace Attorney lately as she was with Metal Gear Solid 2."

"What was wrong with MGS2?"

"Raiden."

"Oh yeah, that's right. What a minute... why are we talking about another game series besides our own?"

"Haven't you been listening at all, Edgeworth? Rin-neechan is disappointed with the recent Ace Attorney franchise and lack of news about new games, so she's moved on to the Metal Gear games. And there's the fact that she's writing our dialogue."

"But, she dedicated five chapters of this drabble archive to celebrate the news of my game!"

"Well, yeah but, there's not going to be a trial portion to your spin-off game, Edgeworth."

"... There isn't?"

"Nope."

"Then what the hell is the point?! The trial is the where we reveal the truth! Where everything that we've gathered comes together!"

"Don't ask me, Edgeworth. I'm not making an appearance in your game at all."

"You're not?"

"Nope."

"Then who the hell is going to challenge me?!"

"No clue, Edgeworth. But don't worry, there won't be a trial portion, so it shouldn't be too hard for you. Since I won't be around to give you a hard time in court or anything. Rin-neechan will still play your game when it comes out, but don't expect her to go out of her way to play it if she's working on Metal Gear cosplays."

"What do those Metal Gear games have that ours doesn't? We've got death and some violence, suggestive themes and mild language!"

"Eye candy, Edgeworth. Eye candy, or lack thereof. Rin-neechan likes Solid Snake's muscley bod, beefy butt, and sexy voice. I mean comon, how many people can pull off a mullet and still manage to be awesome AND hot at the same time? Not many. I couldn't."

"I don't suppose I could either... so you're saying that unless the Ace Attorney franchise comes out with something that'll take Rin-neechan's attention off of watching all of the Metal Gear Solid 3 cutscenes set to the Naked camoflauge, we probably shouldn't expect anymore drabbles?"

"Pretty much. I mean, even more so now that she's got to take Organic Chemistry next semester, and has yet to play Metal Gear Solid 4 and Portable Ops a second time."

"But what about her other fanfictions? The non-drabble ones?"

"Well, being as she's got about three or four Ace Attorney fics that aren't finished that she has no idea how to end them, let's just hope she figures it out."

"I do hope so, Wright. It would be a shame to end on a note like this."

"Tell me about it. At least it's not like the Sopranos where they ended the show in mid sent-"
