#apolluke swap luke!! I am still figuring out his mental voice so this entire piece is VERY subject to change but it’s HERE. first draft

[detective-piplup]

I need to know if Luke's cool and epic moment involves case 4-1 fun (in which he solves a crime but is then out of a job for it XD )

it SURE DAMN DOES. this is shorter bc im still working on this lol (and i just remembered the transcripts) but like it’s absolutely case 4-1 “fun”. I’ve accidentally started writing the entire thing but this was the 4am first draft

“Gotcha, Ms. Orly.”

Luke felt himself grin triumphantly as the conwoman sputtered, shocked.

Finally. 

Finally, he’d get to use these eyes of his for a purpose.

He leaned back, crossing his arms as he felt the courtroom’s stares bore into him. “I’m not sure if you’re aware, but you’ve got a bad habit of touching the back of your neck.”

“My… neck?” She froze, going pale for a few moments before recovering all the bite she had before. “And- well, so what if I do?!”

To Luke’s side, Kristoph hummed. “Yes, so what indeed, Triton? I hadn’t noticed anything odd about that myself.”

Luke was sure his face was about split in half, that his chest was going to burst open with pride and excitement. “If that was all there was to it, it would be fine. But the thing is, Ms. Orly, it’s not a normal nervous habit. It only happens when you talk about the moment of the crime.” He paused, taking a second not to sound so damn excited while he spoke. This was a murder trial, there was no reason to sound like this was the best day of his life.
