daisy_the_mage1 | A new one because why not?

[ As disorganized as he might look, and as loud as things may seem--in which he respectfully will be, thankfully, turning his amplifier off--Klavier gives him a genuine, relaxed smile. A tug of his hair, and he lets it go with a slight chuckle. It seems, at least, that the younger prosecutor is genuine. That much can be ascertained. Indeed, he had helped Apollo put Kristoph, the properly guilty party, behind bars for good. And then a member of his band had turned out to be part of a smuggling operation, all for money... well. He's had a bit of a rough time lately, but it only gave him more reason to happily throw himself into his work instead.

Case in point: this case. He stands, placing the guitar aside. He doesn't bother addressing the silly nickname he's christened the poor man with. Duh, neck ruffles. ]

I would, indeed, be Klavier Gavin. Prosecutor, former leader of the Gavinners. ... But shouldn't we eschew the stiff formalities? I could do the whole, "and you're Miles Edgeworth, one of the most talented prosecutors in our fair city", but really--it feels far too stifling to me if we're going to be working together, ja? I have a feeling the truth here is going to be a little buried, though--what a mess this one is! Looks to me like Fräulein Truth had a really late night partying and muddied herself up. I guess we'll just need to help her with that hangover until she's ready to tell us what actually happened.

I couldn't visit the scene myself. Didn't want to go making things any worse.

[ Seriously, the last thing they needed was, say, a gaggle of fans outside the police's crimescene. ]

.....Just 'Mr. Edgeworth' will do, Mr. Gavin. [Sorry, Klavier. He doesn't know you very well yet. Although he agrees about the 'one of the most talented prosecutors' bit. No need for fluffy praise.]

Indeed. We have quite a mystery killer on our hands. The victim being found in her closet having been dead for several days, for one. There were no signs of a struggle in her home, nor anything to indicate that her home had been broken into.

The victim's stepbrother is currently in possession of the other key and has been taken in for questioning. Currently, he is our prime suspect and the police are convinced that he is the true criminal. However, something does not quite fit with this theory....

[ WHOOPS sorry he doesn't care. But out of professional courtesy he'll probably not worry about that right now. He thinks this over, though--he's been looking the autopsy report over. Edgeworth was right: something about this left a sour taste in his mouth. ]

Hm... so she had to have known whoever did it, then. Is that the angle they're going for? I suppose it's sensible, except we're lacking a motive on his part. We won't know until they're done questioning him, but if there was a third key, or if she may have been expecting company that wasn't him, it doesn't rule out the possibility of a third party.

... In fact, the entire motive is rather lacking right now, for my taste. Was there even anything he could gain from killing her? Having a key does not automatically unlock a box of guilt, ja?

[ Oh, sure, he could see it--but what's the truth of this mystery? That's the thing he wants to know. ]

Indeed.

Nevertheless, while I cannot think of a possible motive for the prime suspect to murder his own sister, I questioned him about the number of keys for the house, and....well, he seemed a little agitated. I cannot help but feel that he must be hiding something.

Not only that, but there was something a little.....well, let's say odd about the whole scene of the crime. However, I cannot quite place exactly what it is yet...

I suppose, Mr. Gavin, you'd better come and inspect the victim's house yourself. I would be quite happy to accompany you. [Why not? Miles Edgeworth is interested to see how Klavier Gavin works, anyway. ~~And it sure is more productive than messing around with the guitar~~]

[ ... Groan. Edgeworth, he might not presently be focusing on much else (well, he's not touring at the moment, at least), but do you know how many paparazzi follow him on a daily basis?

Klavier sighs dramatically, hand leaving his belt's loop to tug his bangs and release them. Old habit. ]

[ ... But he doesn't lose his usual smile, even so. Let him just grab his rather... er, INTERESTING keychain... ]

... You would suggest that, wouldn't you? I was hoping with the Fräulein Detective on the case, this would go a bit more smoothly... luck really isn't on my side with this one, but then, I hate leaving things to chance. Chance is the game of love and talentless musicians! If you want me to go, who am I to say no, Herr Frills?

[ And so he makes for the door, once he has his things, making sure Edgeworth is following before he locks up. One button turns all that equipment off and arms a security system. Huh. ]

The traffic is going to be terrible--it'll be quicker if we take my ride. The sooner the better, really... but ach, don't say I didn't warn you: you're going to encounter more than some traffic with me.

[The groan hasn't slipped by him, Klavier. :|] Forgive me, Mr. Gavin, but as far as I am aware, you are the prosecutor of this case, not me. While I am perfectly happy to be of some assistance and I don't doubt Detective Skye's abilities, I would have expected you to have visited the crime scene yourself [Guess which female detective complained about you, Klavier? :D].

Anyway, let me know once you're ready and we'll be on our way. [No point in further chiding the guy - he's agreed to come.

Edgeworth does follow Klavier out of the door and stands in the hallway as the younger man locks up.] Hmmm.....I'm not sure which car we take would make much of a difference, to be honest. [Guess who hasn't encountered Klavier's screaming fangirls?]

[ He laughs, good-naturedly. He isn't bothered by Edgeworth's statement. ]

Ahaha! That's harsh, Frills. I'm hurt.

[ He isn't actually hurt at all. ]

Though I appreciate the advice from my senior, I'm no spring chicken, Herr Frills. I happen to be perfectly content with doing my job. It's what inevitably comes with it that I don't want happening. I suppose it really is unavoidable--well, such is life. Just keep an open mind, ja?

[ With that said, he'll just take Edgeworth to the ground floor, the garage, and... there's no car parked here. Weird. The only thing parked here is a motorcycle... wait. He sure is handing Edgeworth a helmet. And smiling. You sure are going to ride with him. Don't mind if he just gets on and unlocks his bike. ]

Justice rides, and so do I. ... And on occasion, justice also gets delayed a little. The sooner the better, and all that--as they say, time is money. Though, in our case, I think it's more "time is evidence".

[ You did say you were ready to go, Edgeworth. Sure hope you're going to stand by that statement! ]

......Ah. [A motorbike. Meaning: Higher chance of traffic accidents.]

You do know how to drive that, don't you? [YOU KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS MY FLASHY SPORTS CAR...]

Please. Safety is important to me, ja? As is getting there before they do. I thought you were all about seeing the crime scene as soon as possible! Whatever happened to that prosecutor's spirit of yours? Haben Sie keine angst, Frills! As prosecutors, our jobs are based on trust in our coworkers, are they not? You can start by trusting me.

[ Klavier? Simply grins. Helmet and all that, chop chop! ]

Unless, of course, you're afraid. In which case, I suppose I will simply have to go see what's in Pandora's Box without you, hm?

[Well, Edgeworth has heard that Klavier is actually a brilliant prosecutor. Let's hope that he is and appearances are deceiving.]

....I suppose you have a point [Except about the coward bit but he'll let that roll off his back for now.]. I don't see why we cannot take my car, though. [Besides, the seat on that bike does not look particularly.....comfortable. Then again, Edgeworth has never ridden on one before so what does he know?]

[ Cheeky. Grin. He's teasing you so badly right now, Edgeworth. ]

... Well, if you're scared, you can just be honest about it, ja? Either way, I hate keeping my main ladies waiting... that is, Fräulein Truth, and her friend, Fräulein Evidence.

[ A chuckle. Hey, he's getting on. You're either coming or you're not, Edgey. Make up your mind. ]

Time waits for no man... especially when you've got a solo coming up. I'd hate to miss my cue--there's nothing worse than that. Throws a whole performance off.

[Well, in Edgeworth's view, he is being cautious, not cowardly.

Then again, if Klavier Gavin had a reputation for crashing his bike, Miles Edgeworth probably would have heard it by now. Especially if he is famous his band and not just his career as a prosecutor.

....Klavier seems pretty insistent on taking his bike as well and Edgeworth would rather he did not travel alone in case the man decided to change his mind and go back in his office.]

....If you crash and I wind up in hospital, then I will see to it that your salary is cut by triple the number of records you have sold. Am I clear?

Now, shall we go?

[ He does give him a serious look--because he IS taking this seriously, even if his demeanor isn't the same as Edgeworth's. ]

... If you end up in the hospital, I'll be concerned about more than my salary, Herr Frills. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

[ But that's all he says before they're off. Don't worry, Edgeworth, you'll find it's not nearly as terrifying as it seems, just more windy. He follows every single traffic law, thank you, is an extremely good rider, and he also seems to know some of the odder shortcuts through the city. They're there in record time, far faster than if they'd taken a car. Klavier likes it that way. He'll happily lock his bike up and then grab the stuff from the saddlebags on the side and head into the scene. Greeted by a police officer, of course. ]

At ease.

Detective Skye is... in a rather foul mood, Sir. You might want to be careful.

... Well, when isn't she? Maybe seeing her hero with me will make her a little more cheerful. If only it were me!

[ And he doesn't waste any time getting into the crimescene proper, and he's barely closed the door before you can hear some kind of commotion outside--someone screaming, but he'll be letting the police handle that. Not his problem if there's a fangirl out there. ]

[Well, that was one.......unique ride. Thankfully, they haven't crashed into anything. Still, Miles Edgeworth thought that the day he rode a motorcycle would be the day he ate his own cravat.

Anyway, enough of that. The crime scene is more important. Edgeworth follows Klavier to the scene. Needless to say, he does not get Klavier's comment about Ema's hero.

When he hears the fangirl scream, though....]

What on earth.....?
