#hyaciiintho | Phoenix Wright

[lcstkey]

@hyaciiintho sent ✿ ; For Sel & Phoenix, but also for Sel & Nahyutah?? c: SEND “ ✿ ” FOR 2 HEADCANONS FOR OUR MUSES’ RELATIONSHIP.

Phoenix Wright

As an employee to the Night-Light Reads book shop, Selena is actually more likely to remember a customer's literary preferences than their names. On that note, Phoenix would have picked up plenty of magic books, fictional and trick book, for Trucy and law books and the occasional plant book for himself.

Phoenix would likely encounter red psyche-locks if he were to bring up why she became detective. If he were to connect them to the Night Light Reads fire and the car accident that took her sister and father, they would break and she'd confirm his suspicions. It does not guarantee that she'd accept his assistance and would need time to warm up to the idea.

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi

When they worked together on cases, Nahyuta treated her well as she worked hard with their cases. After one particularly grueling case, he once chanced on Detective Wolfsong asleep at her desk whilst her laptop screen showed a singular long typo in progress on her report.

Selena intended to keep silent about her ghost whispering ability out of respect for the Kingdom of Khura'in's, and in extension, Nahyuta's, religious and spiritual beliefs. While in Khura'in, her ability drained her as there is a large amount of lingering spiritual activity in the kingdom and it overwhelmed her. Despite doing her best to stay awake, she fell asleep during Nahyuta's eight hour sermons on numerous occasions.

[lcstkey]

Hearing that Trucy has been doing well, the detective smiles. While it has been a long while, Selena is happy hearing the update that she had grown up and is performing her own magic shows. The smile falters as the attorney mentions the magic books.

Trucy has always been an enthusiastic reader, Detective Wolfsong remembers fondly, but her smile fades when hearing the condolences and the memories of the fire and the crash fill her mind. Drawing in a shaky breath, she tries to resume the conversation, intending to move it away.

"Thank you," The detective answers then forces a smile as she switches it back, "I'll have to try to catch one of Trucy's shows one of these days then."

So she decided to talk to him. Surprising, to say the least, though perhaps it shouldn't in it entirety. After all, there had been some pretty good memories, mostly ones involving TRUCY and her boundless energy. Speaking of, it seemed she would be the continued leading connection between them good. He was hoping to get a bit more information over what had happened, tactfully, of course.

"She's been great, actually. I'm glad you remembered her." Because OF COURSE she did. Trucy was unforgettable, but perhaps he was biased as the girl's father. "She's been working hard to honor the Gramarye legacy, and it seems everyone's taken notice. As they should. I think all those books on magic you helped her with really gave her some unique ideas." And there it was, the slip of a reference to their first meeting, a CASUAL mention of the core of the matter.

His expression was apologetic then, not quite an act, considering he truly was sympathetic to her situation.

"Speaking of... I heard what had happened. You have my condolences."

"I love you." //Phoenix ♡♡♡♡

     ‹ Three words. Those three words were spoken more often lately, words that Shuuji had to learn how to say; he had never been allowed to love before, allowed to be loved. He had spent so long in the shadows that when the sun was made to shine upon him in the form of Phoenix's heart, it baffled him for a time. It was strange, almost intimidating, and yet something he found himself craving until he finally found the courage to return those words and say them for himself. ›

     ‹ Then, it was a matter of forgetting he could say them until there were gentle nudges to remind him he held that privilege. Sometimes written, often spoken, but every single word every time was brimming with genuine love. Unfiltered, unfettered. Today was no different; they were spoken so casually, but with no less adoration than before and certainly no less than those to come later, and it made Shuuji's lips turn up into a brighter smile. ›

     ‹ His koibito. His world. The warmth that cast away the cold shadows that once clung to Shuuji's soul. Phoenix meant more to him than three words could ever express, no matter how many times they were spoken. So today, he clasped Phoenix's hands within his own and pulled them closer until their palms cradled Shuuji's cheeks, held there to feel the warmth that rapidly crept forth from within. ›

    ❝ You make the sun feel pale and cold in comparison to your bright, unfailing warmth. The stars shimmer for you, in the hopes they would ever compare to the sparkle in your eyes. No language this world has ever known or will ever know can ever capture how I feel about you, Phoenix. ❞

     ‹ Slowly one of Phoenix's palms would be adjusted until it rest partially over Shuuji's lips, a soft kiss pressed to the skin as a single tear broke free from the corner of his eye and quickly tumbled down his cheek. Yet his face beamed with joy, overwhelmed perhaps by his own thoughts. ›

    ❝ I love you too. Those words feel so underwhelming for what I mean, but they'll have to suffice. ❞

    ❝ Then I'm doing things correctly. ❞

     ‹ It had been a troublingly long week; both of them had become wrapped up in tense cases, pushed to their limits to make their respective breakthroughs and close them out on the right note. This was the first time in what felt like forever they were able to collapse on the couch together, Phoenix atop of Shuuji with their foreheads gently pressed together. It was just idle chatter, but those words were not missed when Phoenix had uttered them in such an exhausted yet delighted way. It made Shuuji smile softly, his own sleepiness catching up swiftly to him. ›

    ❝ I'm just one man, but if I could give you the world, I would. If I could pluck the stars from the sky for you to hold, I would. Alas, a divinity I am not — just a humble man who wishes to make you the happiest person alive. I'll just have to settle for doing my best for you every single day, being there when the weight on your shoulder is too much to bear alone, and lifting you up until you feel as light as a feather again. I made that promise before, I don't ever intend to break it. ❞

     ‹ This little heartfelt rambling ended with a small kiss to Phoenix's cheek, the other pulled in closer until their bodies had practically fit together like two perfect puzzle pieces, not an inch of space left to worry about. ›

    ❝ I think... we should take a nap together. I've missed this... ❞

[lcstkey]

With her flashlight still pointed at the shuttered windows, Detective Wolfsong stood quietly as the other officers directed the others to remain seated and calm. Feeling her heart pound, she took a deep breath.

Umbra must be so scared right now. Selena thinks to herself, worried for her elderly pup left alone at her apartment, He's either hiding under the bed or his plushie mountain. I'll need to spoil him when I get back.

She looks over at Wright, noticing him typing up at his phone, and recalls that Trucy must either be home alone or perhaps with a coworker. The detective hopes it's the latter.

As he mentions that no one should be wandering alone, Detective Wolfsong reluctantly agrees with a nod but her mind wanders to their situation.

Was this blackout and activation of the security measure the really the fault of the storm? She wonders, pulling out her radio with her free hand to call in the head of security. Hearing nothing but silence and the sneering from the stands, she finds herself irritated.

"Oi. This case has yet to be finished," Detective Wolfsong chimes in, sounding very cross as she turns to the stands as her voice carried throughout the court room, "I suggest you lot keep your wagging tongues to yourselves, you hear? Save the fiction for the books and try not to skip to the end. No one likes being spoiled of any ending."

Feeling pleased with the sudden silence, Selena smiles but it quickly disappears as Wright asked if anyone had gotten hold of the head of security. She shakes her head but remembered that they were standing in the dark so it's unlikely anyone would be able to see any gestures.

"No, he isn't answering the radio." Detective Wolfsong answers, pointing her light at the door, "We'll need to check the security office and the generators down in the basement to see if aught's amiss."

As the shutters slammed down with FINALITY, the Judge was the first to let out a shriek of alarm. Multiple officers spurred into action then, directing the forming crowd of people to remain seated and calm. Such directions were easier said than done, considering the strange predicament they currently found themselves in.

TRAPPED in a court house with a potential murderer in their midst. Phoenix didn't like the sound of that at all.

Fingers tapped the buttons on his phone, quickly finding one familiar name before he shot off a rapid message Trucy's way to let her know he would be otherwise OCCUPIED for the night. She at least deserved to know she wouldn't need to wait up for him, despite knowing full well that she would regardless. If he could soothe her nerves a bit, however, he would... though, there was hardly anything to find RELAXING from his situation.

"I don't think anyone should be going off on their own." He stated, something all of those in authority agreed upon. There were some who tried to argue against the lock down, but once the very real threat of being locked inside with a murderer came to light, it seemed all too quickly did they start to quiet and WHISPER amongst themselves, sneering at his poor client all the while.

It wasn't them they should be fearing... but the so called WITNESS. He didn't have the exact evidence for that just yet, though.

"If the shutters activated, there must be something going on with the security." He mused aloud, his gaze narrowing in growing suspicion and increasing WORRY. "This sort of thing doesn't just happen..." The building was one of the most secure he knew. For it to suddenly be thrown into a lock down, of all things... it spoke VOLUMES of something more sinister brewing under the surface.

Once more did lightning crack and thunder BOOMED from beyond the windows, shaking the building in its wake ominously. Phoenix only hoped that his daughter was okay being home alone in the middle of the storm, or that Athena had stayed behind and opted not to venture back home in the middle of it all. Then again, perhaps he had other more immediate things to be concerned over, such as the reason why the courthouse was suddenly PLUNGED into darkness.

"Is anyone able to get a hold of head security?" He questioned then. "I think the best thing to do is start there."

"You look beautiful." //Phoenix ♡♡

     [ Words of Warmth || Speaking Sweetly » Accepting ]

     ‹ It was a lazy morning, and Shuuji had taken some time to sleep in for a bit. Rare were the days he chose to do so, typically always up and getting some mild exercise and a shower in before Phoenix would even begin to stir. His hair was only loosely still in the ponytail from the night before, only a simple t-shirt and boxer-briefs to speak of for attire, so to hear those words caused him to very briefly pause. It was such a visible freeze, the cup of coffee just inches from his bottom lip and his other hand rested on the side of a small bowl. ›

     ‹ Beautiful. To be called beautiful... Across his eyes, a flash of warmth would take over for just a moment. Just those words alone touched something deep within his heart that he didn't think words alone could do — and it left him lacking any to reply with for a short time after. Once the surprise wore off though he'd set his mug down and turn to Phoenix, that sweetness present now in every inch of his face. ›

    ❝ ... The truest beauty here is your heart, koibito. I... ❞ ‹ A heartfelt sigh cut him off suddenly, a hand rose to his chest to still his breathing for a moment. Then with a laugh he would beam a lopsided grin and exhale with a delighted, playful tone. › ❝ Y-You can't just say such wonderful things so suddenly! I wasn't ready! ❞

[kodapi]

"I knew I could count on you." //Phoenix ♡

     [ Words of Warmth || Speaking Sweetly » Accepting ]

    ❝ What would I be if I couldn't support you where it mattered, mh? ❞ ‹ Shuuji would offer a coffee to Phoenix as the attorney departed the courtroom, fresh off of closing out another case with a not guilty verdict. While Shuuji had not been called as a witness today, he did manage to work some parts of the case freelance for Phoenix's sake and uncovered a crucial piece of evidence at the last critical moment. It felt good to interject before the verdict was handed down, but it felt even better to watch the Turnabout King work his magic with it. ›

    ❝ You were equally as wonderful today, koibito. I didn't have a single doubt for a moment. ❞

     ‹ It was then that Shuuji would carefully put some of his weight on Phoenix's side when the other was braced upright, his head left to loll a bit on the attorney's shoulder. There was no denying he was exhausted after running around for over 24 hours straight to wrap things up, but the relief on his face spoke volumes of what it meant to him. A sleepy mumble reverberated in his chest for a moment before he moved to claim Phoenix's free hand in one of his own, the ungloved prosthetic's digits cautious to wrap around the sensitive skin without pinching any part of it. ›

    ❝ You must be starving. Let's go get you something from a favourite joint of yours — or, if you want, I can pamper you a bit today with something homemade. Your decision, my dear. ❞

[kodapi]

         [✎] to [ @hyaciiintho || Phoenix Wright ]

     ‹ The local police needed extra bodies on hand today — Shuuji could barely catch the why before panicked voices demanded everyone to get to their assignments. A high-profile murder was what he managed to get from all the commotion, which would explain why they had him, a private investigator, being the muscle at the entrance to the complex. Absolutely no one allowed in unless they have business here, he was told. Turn away any defense attorneys. Harsh, but that was what was necessary under the current system they operated in. ›

     ‹ This particular command seemed to be done in order to ensure that certain details did not get leaked or misconstrued, concern amongst the police detectives that some evidence was rather confidential and to wildly lay claim to it and use it would cause more harm than good. It was a good thing they mobilized so soon then, because not even the second he set foot in front of the gate he was already body-blocking nosy reporters who were scrambling to make their way in. A few feet behind him stood another member of his team, a sharp-eyed older man with four pistols on full display alongside his other gear as a warning to any who thought themselves cute enough to try and shove past. It would deter most... though he knew from experience that some would still try. ›

     ‹ The other civilians would then step back a bit, though they still kept the gate crowded enough that Shuuji only had a brief moment to realize someone was pushed into his shoulder, a new face amongst the chattering crowds. In response, the detective tensed his body and pushed back on whoever was trying to get past him, eyes shifted to their face now. ›

    ❝ Whoa whoa! Hold on there, I can't let you in here. Firm orders from the police, ❞ ‹ Shuuji spoke up. If they had business they would make mention of it on their own accord he knew, so it became a matter of waiting for the reply and assessing their intent from there. ›

[lcstkey]

Selena remembered him.

He frequented the numerous shelves with his young daughter in tow. The detective recalls that she was fond of every magical book, fiction and trick book, they had in stock. When the fire stole away Night-Light Reads, Selena had mistakenly believed their previous visit would be the last she'd see of them.

But, the detective had almost walked past him until his voice caught her attention. Despite trading his beanie and sweater for the bright blue suit, she still recognized him.

"It's...It has been a good while, Mr. Wright," She answers, struggling to attempt conversation, trying to figuring out what to say in this unprompted reunion, "How has Trucy been?...I've heard through the grapevine that she has her own show, a magic one, now."

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Starter Call | @lcstkey

"You look... familiar. Don't I know you from somewhere?" It was on the TIP of his tongue and yet refused to leap from the spot, the memory itching persistently at the forefront of his mind with little to no HELP. Only after a beat did the knowledge finally surface BOOKS: The Night-Light Reads bookstore he had once frequented with Trucy before it had gone up in flames. He had followed the story via papers, but the story never really settled RIGHT with him. Who knew he would be running into the Wolfsongs's daughter of all people right outside the court building, and so many years after that tragedy?

Phoenix made no move to reveal his own internal conclusions, leaving it to her to make proper introductions... should she CHOOSE to. Sometimes people didn't want to be recognized.

Sometimes people didn't WANT to open old wounds.

Phoenix understood that better than most.

[lcstkey]

Admittedly, the detective had only seen Phoenix Wright in action as a defense lawyer once before. When he used to visit the Night-Light Reads with Trucy, she wouldn't have believed that he was a top notch lawyer until he defended her younger sister in court, long before he became disbarred.

Seeing him in court today, it was as if he had never forgotten how to fiercely defend his clients. It felt different, being on the stand as a detective laying out all the details of the case to the court.

Dovin The'rgrave had been found in a locked room, stabbed in the back, with the defendant, who had been knocked unconscious and the only occupant inside with them. It was supposed to be a clear cut case.

Mr. Wright picked apart her report for inconsistencies with the evidence, something she knew he'd would try to do. He picked apart the witness' testimonies. There were moments she wondered if he was bluffing, but the way the story was matching up, it felt too strange for it not to be true.

Just as Mr. Wright had thrown in his OBJECTION, the building shook from the crack of lightning and the loud shriek from behind just as the lights went out. The detective clasped a hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing due to her frazzled nerves and the absurd timing of the blackout.

Hearing another approach, the detective straightens up and took a deep breath. I need to stay calm for everyone else...She thinks to herself and by voice, recognizes Phoenix who had pulled his phone out for light.

"Aye, that 'objection' was too well timed in my opinion," She answers, a giggle slipping out, "The back up generators should be up soon."

'Soon' did not come soon enough and they were still in the dark. Hearing the murmurs and whispers from the masses, the detective crosses her arms and frowns, brows furrowing. Humming, the detective takes out her flashlight and clicks it on.

"I'm going to go down to see what's going on with the back up generators down in the basement. I'll be back shortly." She says, "We may have to pick up where we left off on this case tomorrow if we can't get the power back on." Selena hears the judge agree with her.

When the detective was about to step out of the court room, another crack of lightning can be heard and moments after, an alarm blazes. The window shudders close down throughout the court room. Selena appears alarmed and turns her flash light toward the windows that have been closed off by metallic plating.

"What in the world...?"

Season appropriate starter call | @lcstkey

Phoenix had thrown his last OBJECTION into the wind as a final hail mary, so certain that he had found the exact piece of evidence that would finally nail the witness as the TRUE culprit behind the murder of one Dovin The'rgrave. Of course, like any and all trials he's been involved with, there had to be one inconvenience to occur that would throw the entire trial into more COMPLICATED territory: The lights went out.

There was a shriek from the audience as a loud crack of lightning shook the entire building to its core, the courtroom suddenly PLUNGED into darkness as the judge did his best to calm the masses. Phoenix's shoulders refused to relax, eyes scanning the dark as bodies shifted about, but no sure features could be made out. He did, however, recognize the familiar form of one of the detectives nearby.

"Lightning storms." He began conversationally, fetching his phone from his breast pocket and shining the light so as to provide some sort of ILLUMINATION between them. "Gotta love them, right?"
