#interaction: simon ft. apollo

[myriaed]

@carp3diems liked simon's sc // for apollo!!

❝ i'd ask if you're havin' an issue trackin' someone down but considering... ya know... what we are i'm guessing that ain't what you're here for. ❞ simon had temporarily settle down in town, giving himself a break from the hussle and bussle of new york city. his private investigator business was still picking up, mostly word of mouth in a town like this, but business was good. he was surprised to sense another werewolf walk into his office. ❝ this ain't some 'you're on our pack's land' dispute thing is it? ❞

ok last post for now. IN LIGHT OF CAPCOM SAYING A FEW NEW GAMES WOULD BE OUT BY MARCH 2023. these are my top 10 IDEAL ace attorney games ranked in no particular order by how bad i want them to be real. this will be a long post so it's under the cut. spoiler for basically every ace attorney game

Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney (Investigations). Simon gets to be her weird little girl and they make funny banter about random people in that way you can only have with a bruncle/neister bff relationship. This game is ideal because it's like a kind cat owner who has a very mean cat that they keep promising won't bite you but the cat has not only already bitten you but also summoned a fully grown hawk to attack you. Simply fantastic game material. This is also ideal because Athena would get to be the head of her own game for once.

Ema Skye: Ace Detective (Investigations). In addition to the last post, I am so incredibly fond of the original idea for the investigations series to be about Ema. Let Ema have Kay as an assistant, or maybe Klavier. Lana gets to cameo and take on the Beanix in AA4 role where she shows up to give some cryptic advice and then disappears.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney 2. I cannot get enough of this game. Please give me more. I love it so uncontrollably much. 10/10 best game of the century. Please give Apollo an actually coherent arc involving what happened with Kristoph and the setup involving the black psyche locks instead of a game that was Still Just About Phoenix All Along, Actually. Apollo Justice is such an incredible setup for a second trilogy that just... fails to deliver. Please follow through with these ideas. The no-spoiler rule has been the WORST thing to happen to the Ace Attorney franchise. Phoenix is an afterthought in this game.

Sholmes and Mikotoba: Reminiscence. I really want a game just about their escapades. I have not even played DGS yet I am so fascinated with these two and their history. It doesn't even have to be a full game, just like a DLC case or two. If this already exists please let me know but don't spoil me as I'll be liveblogging my playthrough of DGS and DGS2 I believe.

Sebastian Gets His Own Thing Because I Like Him: The Game. Speaks for itself. I really really like Sebastian.

The Prosecutors Office: The Game. I am desperate to see everybody interacting in one confined space while the Paynes stand there silently, unnoticed. Ideally, this will be in the art style of Investigations with overworld pixel sprites. It will be fully comedic. I can only survive off of fanfiction for so long.

Mia Fey: Ace Attorney. Here's the unsurprising entry. I would like to see more of Mia and Diego's relationship and would really like to see Feenie co-counsel. I think Lana should be the prosecutor because Mia has two hands and she is a bisexual girlboss. Lanamiego trueness. Lana and Diego do not get along but in the funny way.

Jailbreak. I really want a small story (fits better as dlc, probably) about the main villains in prison. I do understand that this is unrealistic and entirely inspired by fanart I've seen, but look me in the eyes and tell me it has absolutely no comedic potential. Exactly. It'd be hilarious. Kristoph and Matt Engarde would NOT get along and I live to see the day they inevitably strangle each other while Dahlia laughs from the corner, timeline be damned. Ft. Simon cameo where he looks wildly unimpressed by everything happening around him.

Trucy Wright: Magician for Hire. I love the idea of Phoenix being wildly supportive of his daughter's dreams, and I also really want Trucy to be able to express how she actually feels about the Gramaryes. She deserves better than the treatment the games give her. I think that she, Kay, and Ema should get to be the second-coming of the Yatagarasu.

Franziska von Karma: INTERPOL. I really want a game about Franziska, Lang, Interpol, and most importantly, please give us a Colias cameo. You don't understand. Colias Palaeno showed up for one case in one game and I somehow found him the funniest little man ever. I want a Colias cameo. Franziska also deserves to be able to lead her own game, as she has been trapped in Capcom's basement for too long. Lang is her weird little girl. Third DeLites cameo! I love the DeLites.

There we have it, my AA game ideas. I know NONE of these will become real, but a guy can dream. Thanks for reading!

simon is glad for the privacy his office affords them both to speak openly and candidly without worry. it's still something he's working on being used to when it comes to being around other weres. knowing exactly what and who he was dealing with made the interaction easier anyway, and he'd developed quite the sense of smell that helped in that department. the previously fully human part of his brain still got overwhelmed by it sometimes. "are hunters something you contend with often around here or...?" if so, he'd have to do a little more recon, get a feel for some of the more tactical response plans he needed to have in the back of his mind. better safe than sorry. "shouldn't be. i'm just saying i'm not gonna come out that way unless that's where a trail leads me. it likely won't have anything to do with you and yours unless you're into sketchy shit, and even then, unless someone's paying me to tail one of your pack, i don't see having a reason to. i'd just appreciate being allowed to do my job so i can have a roof over my head and food on my table."

apollo visibly relaxed when the other didn't fight him on this little drop in. some others in the past hadn't taken too lightly to apollo just checking around. making sure beacon hills was staying safe the way he and his brother had made it. the werewolf did not think that he had the energy to deal with any more supernatural drama right now. "no, just the ones i can sense are like us. no need to worry about humans   . . .   not unless they're hunters," he said, shrugging and crossing his arms. now that he was positive that the other wouldn't do anything, apollo could sleep easier at night. be more content with the fact there's a new person like him running around the town. "and why would i need to get in your way? unless you need me to be doing that."
