Part 94: Episode 4, Day 2, Investigation: Monster Hunter
We're back at the detention center, hopefully to spring Maya and maybe even get some answers out of Edgeworth.
Sound: Light Bulb

They just finished the paperwork, I'm free to go.

Free at last, eh?
Sound: Whack

They were like "okay, what did you do THIS time?"

Like I was some kind of criminal! Can you believe it?

Well, they let you out in the end, didn't they?

Mmm...
Sometimes we get two sprites on a single screen of dialogue, like so.

Thank Edgeworth.

Huh?
Sound: Realization

He posted bail for you.

Said he was grateful for what you did.

...

I have to make it up to him!
Music:
Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme
Maya has nothing new to say about our evidence, but we can chat her up before we get out of here.

What do you think we should do next?

We could go to the park and look for Gourdy.

...

Still, if there are any clues out there, the park's as good a bet as any.

What do you say? Shall we head down there?

Sure!

Have you noticed anything lately?

Hmm...
Well at least this place treats their prisoners well before railroading them into executions?

I meant have you noticed anything about the case...?

(She's probably still upset about Mia. I should leave her alone.)
We got hints to go to the park, so time to go everywhere else first.
Music:
Silence

Behave yourself in the courtroom tomorrow, okay?
Sound: Realization

It's not going to be so much fun when Edgeworth refuses to pay your bail again.

...
Sound: Light Bulb

(Oh dear...)
Music:
Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme
We can talk to Maya again, with the same questions but different results.

Well, what should we do?

I think I'll let you decide what we should do. Deal?

Well? Any thoughts you want to share?

I think I'd like more time to think.

(Poor Maya, she probably thought about Mia the whole time she was in there...)
Despite wanting more time to think, Maya is in too much of a hurry to pay our evidence any attention anymore...

Don't waste time showing me things! We have to get cracking on this case!
The police department and Grossberg's office have nothing new, but we can swing right back to the detention center to check on Edgeworth.
Music:
Silence

Looks like Edgeworth is in questioning.

Let's come back later.

Guess so...
I feel like we get blocked from getting real answers out of Edgeworth at every turn...
Right, then, back to the lake I guess?

They're probably back at the precinct, working up the case against Edgeworth.

Mmm...
Ughh...
Music:
Happy People
Sound: Light Bulb

Y'all really did it today...

Wh-what did we do now?

Naw, I'm not complaining!

I realized that bein' a witness is a mighty big responsibility.

Lotta...

So, you see, I want to make it up to y'all.

"Make it up"...?
Sound: Realization
I'm not sure I want anything Lotta has to offer at this point.

Yep, I'd have to say I know exactly squat about that.

(It's painfully easy to know when something doesn't catch Lotta's interest.)
Nothing interesting there, how about the rest of our evidence?

Y'all just be sure y'all don't sneeze or nothing when you're in my part of the woods!

Right...
Yeah I'm sure the problem was it wasn't sensitive enough...

I'm glad I did that enlargement.

No kidding.

If we didn't have that, Edgeworth would be in prison now, or worse!

What, are you always on the verge of horrible failure like this!?

Umm...
Noooo, sometimes we don't have a case at all!

(Thanks for the cheerful message of support!)
Sound: Super Shock

Umm... uh... You know, I was wondering...

Yeah?

and it turns out like this enlargement did?

Y'all crazy!?
Sound: Whack
Sound: Whack

I need a picture that screams "I am Gourdy! Hear me roar!"
Maybe you should be taking videos then...

(The kind of fool that would turn a blurry picture in as evidence in a murder trial?)

(Not to mention claiming she saw something she didn't see!)
I guess we have no choice but to actually talk to her.

What did you think of the trial?
Yeah, we know.

Even though I didn't really see anything.

I'm sorry, I know I caused y'all a lot of trouble.

Yeah, I sure know that now.

Right!
Sound: Light Bulb

(You mean the FIRST time you witness a murder...)
I am
so in tune with Phoenix's snark right now.

What about Gourdy?
Music:
Silence

Right!
Sound: Damage 2

I'll get my exclusive photos and rocket to stardom!
Music:
Happy People

All right, Lotta! You go, girl!
Sound: Light Bulb

(Finish your spirit medium training first!)

Lotta, what do you mean by "making it up to us"?
Music:
Silence

Well, ya see...
Sound: Light Bulb
Sound: Realization

What!?
Sound: Stab 2

Wh-what information!?

Now we're getting to the heart of it!
Sound: Damage 2
Music:
Happy People
Sound: Realization

E-"exchange"?

Umm...

I thought this was to "
make it up to us"...?

Right!
I don't think that's how making it up to someone works...

...

What!?
Sound: Whack
Sound: Damage 2

Uh...

Hey!
Sound: Light Bulb

It's written all over her face!
Sound: Whack

I'm just the exception, okay?
Sound: Realization
So, just because Lotta matches a certain stereotype, doesn't mean
all southerners do. But that doesn't help us here, since we're dealing with Lotta...
Sound: Objection
We probably need to take the deal here.

Okay. How much?

Huh?
Sound: Light Bulb
Music:
Silence

You completely off your rocker?
Sound: Whack
Music:
Happy People
quote:
Declining the deal doesn't really change anything:
I'm sorry...
But I've no intention of dealing with you!
Nor do we have any money, anyway!
You guys make a fine team, you know that?
Sound: Realization
And I can tell you don't have any money, just look at those clothes!

Huh?
Crap, she's going to make us hunt for Gourdy for her.

Listen good--

What I need from you is information about
Gourdy!
Sound: Super Shock

B-but Gourdy doesn't... I mean, Gourdy might not exist!
Sound: Damage 2

Uh...
Sound: Whoops

I'll be keepin' watch from the car, okay?

O-okay...

Right! See y'all later!
Lotta takes off, I guess back to her campsite.

Okay, Nick, let's get hunting!
Sound: Light Bulb

H-hunting...? You don't seriously mean...

Gourdy? I sure do!
Sound: Realization

What about Edgeworth!?

(Okay... and how exactly do we search for a make-believe monster...?)

(Maybe we can find a monster myth specialist?)
I guess we'll search the park again? I'm kind of at a loss here.
....Okay that was not there a second ago, right?
