Case 3-5 - Bridge to the Turnabout

Characters Ive met:
Sister Bikini
Sister Iris
Elise Deauxnim
Laurice Deauxnim/Larry Butz

Pearl has signed Maya up for a super special awesome spiritual training course in the mountains in February, right around that same suspicious suspension bridge where the events of the last case took place. Pearl gets to meet Elise Deauxnim, her favorite picture book author, there. We meet two nuns named Bikini and Iris - and Iris looks suspiciously like Dahlia Hawthorne with a different hair color and an accommodating, kind personality.

Larry Butz is on the scene and is learning the art of picture books from his new mentor, Elise Deauxnim - hes taken on the funky alias Laurice Deauxnim to show his devotion to his new life. After two seconds talking to him about this new life, his obsession with Sister Iris reveals that the Butz isnt so different after all.

I like the way that this particular case let you warm up to the idea - the beginning cutscene does show you that someone dies, but the story itself takes a little while to get going. Sometimes I feel like were thrown in before we even care who were dealing with - this isnt the case here.

Maya goes across the bridge to the training place, and through many errors, is abandoned there and the suspension bridge is burnt out. Elise Deauxnim has been killed, Pearl is missing, and our eyewitness is Sister Bikini. Phoenix tried to run across the bridge to be with Maya and got hospitalized for his troubles. Larry Butz calls the only person he can count on to help in this time of need - Miles Edgeworth.

We then continue by playing as Mr Edgeworth in a fun turn of events, complete with inner monologuing [Edgeworth does seem to keep more to himself than Phoenix often blurts out]. Gumshoe is overjoyed, and lets be real - so am I to finally see the guy smile! Gumshoes sprite just keeps grinning - he tells you hes tired and hungry all the time, he has to deal with salary cuts, etc. But the important thing is that Mr Edgeworth is here and thats just the best part of the day.

Mr Edgeworth does have a bit of catching up to do - he receives the Magatama from Phoenix at the hospital, and misremembers the items it reveals as Psycholocks. I dont know why I found this so funny, but I did. Probably because Miles is typically so exacting in his details. Phoenix probably mumbled and it didnt sound like our dear blue suit was in good shape in the first place, after that fall.

Edgeworth hasnt heard of Godot - I seem to recall some throwaway line about Godot being specifically recommended by Edgeworth. So thats curious. You have to talk to a number of people to try to get the truth of the matter - we also collect a variety of compliments on how nice we look and how were a handsome boy.

We reluctantly agree to stand on the other side of the courtroom and be Sister Iriss defense.

More to come tomorrow as we continue to investigate!
