Wisptober Day 2 : Jester
" As he coaxes you into the throne room, the peculiar jester seems…Overjoyed at the thought of someone ruling the kingdom once more.”
What is a jester without a ruler?;)

I got a banger ace attorney au for y’all AGAIN: A TWIST on your average ROYAL!AU
ok so basically 👏
Royalty au where everything is the same but phoenix has been trying to figure himself out bc he's with a traveling minstrel show with acting and puppets etc. never rlly knows his real fam
the travelers are sent to perform for king gregory edgeworth and his family, as well as the von karmas and the feys while they talk about diplomatic procedures in the kingdom of japanifornia. (idk wip name for the kingdom i hate this game /j)
i think Larry is a peasant or like a runaway from a rich noble who stole some [object] (not on purpose) from the king by joining phoenix's band bc phoenix was like "ur so funny bro u shud join us!"
but unfortuneately phoenix gets accused of stealing bc larry happened to steal [insert smth here] of miles edgeworth the prince. the band abandons phoenix to get beheaded/punished (idk i might just make it public humiliation bc it would be funny if he just had to apologize but idk its medieval he could be getting his hand cut off for stealing or smth) except larry who stays behind to try and help his bro.
but before everyone can suggest a punishment, miles (and eventually larry) defends phoenix. and the rest is history.
phoenix and larry then decide to live in the castle bc gregory was like "that was so sweet aww u guys can stay here"
so yay yippee friendship hooray!
but then gregory edgeworth is assassinated and no one knows how it happened. Miles belives its his fault (i'll figure out why later) larry and phoenix are kicked out of the castle and the feys take them in.
phoenix and larry live in kurain for a bit and have fun but feen misses miles and so does larry but he's not as insane lol
then phoenix gets into trouble with a witch (Dahlia) and Mia Fey, a runaway princess of kurain turned fighter/knight/Rebellion leader, rescues him! YAY MIA! (Godot is her right hand man, Lana is the royal guard so forbidden love on every end yay)
so being inspired; he decides to become a knight to the von karmas to get into the castle and see miles and save him from whatever fate has befallen him and the kingdom bc the kingdom is slowly going to shit since Greg’s death.
BUT THEN! When he becomes a Knight, he learns that Edgeworth and The Von Karmas are complete ASSHOLES.
No matter what Phoenix does, nothing gets through to Miles and Mia is like “We told u so, bro :/“
(MVK is the royal advisor who is disney villain evil)
So! Upon finding out that von karma/miles edgeworth are tyrants, phoenix doesn't feel right serving the kingdom in that way, especially after mia is murdered as well and the new princess, Maya is to be executed for her murder.
so phoenix drops being a knight and he becomes the only person who can possibly stand up to king miles:
Phoenix becomes the COURT JESTER!
Court Jesters weren’t just there to make people/the king laugh, they also had an obligation to the people and to the king to point out any flaws within the way they rule the kingdom. They were basically tasked with critiquing / criticizing the way the rulers of the kingdom rule the kingdom through the guise of humor.
And also like. C’mon. The pun is RIGHT THERE. /COURT/ JESTER. also it’s just fun to make fun of phoenix wright

I was part of a clown troupe whose gimmick was doing overblown court trials. We were called the Court Jesters.

"What's a Zen?" he said.
The Fool's bells tinkled as he sorted through his cards. Without thinking, he said: "Oh, a sub-sect of the Turnwise Klatch philosophical system of Sumtin, noted for its simple austerity and the offer of personal tranquillity and wholeness achieved through meditation and breathing techniques; an interesting aspect is the asking of apparently nonsensical questions in order to widen the doors of perception."
"How's that again?" said the cook suspiciously. [...]
The Fool hesitated with a card in his hand, suppressed his panic and thought quickly.
"I'faith, nuncle," he squeaked, "thou't more full of questions than a martlebury is of mizzensails."
The cook relaxed.
Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters
