Part 39: Episode 3, Prologue: Super Slayer Samurai

Fighting robots! Who's the victim? Who's the killer? Who's the client? Let's find out!

Music: Silence

Video: Episode 3 Prologue

The pale moon in the sky cries for your blood!

Music: The Steel Samurai

For it will be the last moon you ever see!

We've completely switched genres and I am here for it.

Is this even a murder? Or did we just stumble into an anime fight scene?

One has fallen... but who? Only the moon knows!

I really should have seen that coming.

Music: Silence

It's a month later, and we're the ones running the place now.

Was the intro just Maya and Phoenix watching an anime together? That's quite the switch from the last two episodes.

Music: The Steel Samurai

Whoa! Stop waving that broom around!

^{Sound: Light Bulb}

Ah, it was just Maya watching the show.

Of course I'm here!

What was that surreal show you were watching?

Young...? Like, how young?

(Maya is 17.)

Then what the heck are YOU doing getting all excited!?

That's....a long way from 10.

Hey! Don't talk to me like I'm your grandpa or something. I'm only 24 myself.

I think that's the first time I've seen his age confirmed. That's practically ancient in anime years.

Maya's changing expressions faster than Gumshoe here. I'm still trying to figure out how watching an anime robot fighting show is going to play into a murder case.

I really worry about kids these days.

Gramps!

Okay, Phoenix, now you really are sounding like an old grandpa.

I guess...

Wish we had some clients!

You'd think winning two high-profile murder cases - in a land with almost no "not guilty" verdicts - would raise Phoenix's profile a bit, but maybe that last trial has scared away potential clients.

Music: Silence

Mia's murder was the talk of the town for some time...

How am I going to pay the rent this month?

I'm sure some big client is just around the corner!

Hmph.

Grumpy grandpa Phoenix.

Two days later, if you weren't paying attention earlier.

There's the sound of a phone ringing three times here, but it seems to be a concatenation of random beep files put together rather than its own effect. You can probably imagine it.

*beep*

H-hello? This is Phoenix.

Maya's a trouble magnet, isn't she?

Maya? What? It's still early...

Finally, a lead on a case!

Huh? You mean the guy on that show?

Yes!

...

Umm...

Isn't that what he's supposed to do?

Yeah, on TV!

Yeah, on TV.

He skewered a villain with his Samurai Spear!

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Just come to the office, quick! Please, Nick!

Music: Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme

The actor Will Powers was arrested yesterday. Powers plays the lead role

in the popular kid's show "The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo."

He was arrested on suspicion of murder.

His body was found still inside the Evil Magistrate costume.

The "Samurai Spear" was also found stuck through the body.

After the last episode, I could use a case that is as silly as this one is shaping up to be.
