Roles
All of the greatest lawyers and their witnesses were invited to take on the case of Justin Toeburn. The accused was allegedly responsible for the murder of Molly Mayor, his co-worker. Unfortunately, due to an unrelated incident in the mailroom, court summons requests for witnesses and lawyers were either lost or destroyed. Some, however, made it to their destination.
Only 5 letters made it to their destinations. 2 Attorneys (and affiliates) and 3 Prosecutors (and affiliates) received an invitation to come to court. 8 other letters did arrive, but they were to non-important witnesses. Shame.

2 Attorneys
3 Prosecutors
8 Unimportant witnesses (Vanilla town)

Two of the following attorneys (or affiliates) received a letter of invitation, but we don't know which! Two of the following attorneys will be chosen at random.

Defense Roles
Phoenix Wright - The Truth Seeker: Finding the truth is the ultimate goal for you, Phoenix Wright. Wielding Maya's magatama, you are able to check the alignment of a player every night.

Maya Fey - The Spirit Medium: As a member of the Fey clan, you possess a great talent. As the next successor of the Kurain Channeling Technique, your abilities are almost unbelieveable to many. During night, you may summon one of two spirits to aid you.
Mia Fey:
-The spirit of your late sister, Mia Fey, known as one of the greatest attorneys to live. Her ability is so powerful that channeling her spirit will let you one-shot protect any player at night from a conviction (death).
Ms. Miney:
-The spirit of revenge. Channeling Ms. Miney will give you a one-shot conviction (kill) during at night.
You will seer red if checked with the magatama.

Miles Edgeworth - The Inheritor: After some reminiscence of your father's last case and revelation of the corrupt nature of the prosecution office, you decided to take footsteps in the path your father chose. At night, you may choose a player to take to the detention center (jail) for questioning. Your target cannot be convicted and cannot attempt to convict another player. Additionally, you may choose to make your target loved (-1 net votes) or hated (+1 net votes). Cannot exist if the prosecution version is rolled.

Trucy Wright - The Magician: It's the amazing Mr. Hat! Can one of the greatest magic tricks of all time save you again? It just may! Once this game, you may place a trap version of Mr. Hat with any player. Any players who attempt to convict (kill) your target will be instead be convicted themselves. This trap lasts one night. You cannot place the trap at your own door.

Ema Skye - The Scientist: SCIENCE! Your love for mixing science with justice lets you try out different chemical compounts. Pregame, you may select which chemical set to use. Set A will grant you Watching abilities (choose a target at night to see who visits them). Set B will grant you Tracking abilities (choose a target at night to see who they visit).



Two of the following prosecutors (or affiliates) received a letter of invitation, but we don't know which ones got their letters either! One prosecutor, Winston Payne, has RSVP'd to the case. He is simply a Vanilla Prosecutor.

Two of the following prosecutors will be chosen at random.
Prosecution Roles
Manfred von Karma - The Forger: A perfect record. A perfect case. These are the foundations of the von Karmas, and you uphold them to the highest standard. To maintain the perfect case for this new trial, you may forge evidence. During pregame, you may select a non-wolf player. That player will show up as guilty to all checks and visit every night kill scene.

Franziska von Karma - The Lasher: Your ferociousness in court is unmatched. Your enemies leave with welts and scars at the wrath of the prodigious youth of the von Karma clan. Every night, you may select a target to attack with your whip, roleblocking them.

Miles Edgeworth - The Nemesis: Your confidence in your craft allows you to gain advantages and sweet-talk the judge. Every night, including pre-game. You may select a target. Your target will have +0.1 votes the following day. If that target is lynched, you will gain powers.
-1 success: Master wolf status
-2 successes: One-shot roleblock
-3 successes: One-shot vigi
Cannot exist if the attorney version is rolled.

Matt Engarde - The Deceiver: Refreshing like a spring breeze. At least, that's what you want everyone to think about you. You are a master wolf until you make the conviction (night kill).

Kristoph Gavin - The Manipulator: A defense attorney gone corrupt, you possess the power to manpiulate others by careful planning. Once in the game, you may call up one of your connections. Your connection will enable your kill to be unblockable and untraceable.

Woman's voice: I told you! I left them in the car!

February 3rd, 9:47 AM
____District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

Apollo: My name is Apollo Justice and I believe!
(Ah, that was a good warm-up.)
Athena: ...What was that?
Apollo: Have you not heard about "Chords of Steel"?
It's my preferred voice workout. It really gets my pipes fired up!
Athena: If you insist. I'm so glad to be back in the courtroom again!
How long has it been?
Apollo: 8 months. It really took them a long time to get that courtroom repaired after the explosion.
Athena: Looks like Justice prevailed!
Apollo: Did you just make a joke using my name?
(Unbelievable.)
???: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Athena: Are you trying out your "Chords of Steel" again?
Apollo: No, it's—
???: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Athena: No, it's too whiny to be your voice.
Apollo: It's our defendant, Justin Toeburn.
Athena: Oh! Hey! I didn't see you there. Haha...
Apollo: (I guess she was so excited to be back in the courtroom that she forgot why she was here.)
Justin: Molly... *sniffle* I miss her so much!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Athena: Justin... I'm so sorry she's gone.
Apollo: You have to stay strong. We still have a trial to get through.
You're innocent, and I know it.
Justin: I can't believe they think I'd kill the woman I was in love with.
And I was just about to tell her too...
Apollo: Wait, you didn't tell her you were in love with her?
Athena: Infatuation is still love. What were you doing there at such a late hour?
Justin: I fell asleep at my desk. It was the second time this month.
Apollo: You must be a diligent worker.
Justin: No, I just felt like taking a nap.
Apollo: (Diligently clueless.)
Even though you weren't officially a couple, we can still make a case for you.
Justin: Thanks for taking my case, by the way. Everyone else was either too busy or thought I was already guilty.
Guard: The trial will be beginning in five minutes.
Athena: Don't worry. We've got your back. You wouldn't believe some of the cases we've been through.
Apollo: Well, let's get this show on the road.


February 3rd, 10:00 AM
___ _District Court
__ _Courtroom No. 2
