Started playing The Cosmic Turnabout!

Got through all of the prologue bit that's the lead-up to Turnabout Countdown and then played through Investigation - Day 1!

Now, before I get started, it's worth noting that a lot of the reveals in this case have already been spoiled for me. I was playing with my roommate, though, and those reveals have not, in fact, been spoiled for her so I did get to sit there smugly and knowingly while she had her mind blown which was, in my opinion, equally entertaining!

I am happy to say that Simon Blackquill is still the goat! Also highly amused by the fact that he finally actually gives an opening statement four cases into this game. Bro has not given a single shit about any other trial up to this point and I think that's so real of him.

Following logically on from there--Aura Blackquill?!?! Queen?? Has definitely committed crimes and plans to commit more of them. Also, if she's like that, no wonder Simon turned out the way he did. Woman hates lawyers--especially prosecutors, she says--meanwhile Simon's just standing there doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Kind of silly that the prosecution was trying to cover up the bomb threat through the whole prologue trial segment. I picked up on that shit right away and it took a while to actually get that part of the investigation. Also, Fulbright's singular personality trait finally becoming a point of tension! He's goofy and gimmicky, but I'm glad to finally see a little more depth given to his character.

ON THAT NOTE TOO THOUGH I MISSED YOU MAGATAMA

The way I gasped when this came up on the screen. Very excited! I feel like Phoenix's characterization is better in this case than it was in Countdown. Countdown was really weird and shaky because it confused the mentor/mentee roles between Phoenix and Athena which made the trial feel clunky and it made no sense to play as Phoenix when we were supposed to be learning Athena's gimmick. Anyway, Phoenix feels a bit more like himself here. Granted, older and still learning what it means to be a boss and a mentor, but still himself.

Finally, let's talk about Apollo. Man is going through it. I feel really bad for him, honestly. He's already not had the greatest time working for Phoenix at the Agency, is kind of sticking around because what else is he supposed to do, takes up showing Athena the ropes even though she was sprung on him last minute, and then his best friend is murdered the day he was supposed to achieve his lifelong dream of going to space. To make matters worse, one of Apollo's childhood heroes is arrested for the murder, so of course Apollo takes up the defense, but during that trial the way Apollo is struggling is very obvious. It's taking him longer to make connections, to find contradictions, and he's taking a lot of pointers from Athena. Something is wrong with his eye which is clearly bothering him, and then he gets blown up. He signs himself out against medical advice to attend Juniper's trial (Turnabout Countdown), ends up in the hospital AGAIN, signs himself out against medical advice AGAIN, and then takes a leave of absence from the Agency to conduct his own investigation into Clay's murder. I feel for him, honestly. We spent an entire game following him through one of the worst years of his life, and now the rug is pulled out from under his feet a second time, and in arguably worse circumstances. Knowing that Clay was around informs the player to the fact that Apollo must have been leaning on Clay a lot during everything with Kristoph, and now Clay is gone, a pillar of Apollo's support system completely shattered. It'd be a lot for anyone to handle, and we know Apollo doesn't have the best coping mechanisms ("I'M FINE" anyone?).

I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this case plays out. Sorry I don't have a lot of thoughts about many of the new characters thus far. I think Solomon Starbuck's haircut is funny (peak character design actually). I wish we got to examine the Space Museum (the flavor text could have been so good). I have some ideas about what else is going to come up, but there's still 5-5 ahead of me, and I'm not sure what will come up in which case. Anyway, have some baby Clay and Apollo!

big fan of this guy tbh

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
