[ the non-surprise party, which of course means trucy would give him a surprise party ]

Hmmm. Yeah, I get the feeling he'd be happy either way, though.

[ A GIANT LIE ]

Well, which would you prefer? If it were me, I'd like a surprise party, and I'm pretty sure Daddy would be happy either way. Mr. Gavin would be happy as long as he was the center of attention, and Uncle Miles would haaaaate a surprise party.

He is like, super anti-surprises. It's hilarious.

[Her?]

[There was a notable delay on Iris' end, because she had to stop and think about it. No one had really ever...asked her that question before, and while Sister Bikini had always taken great care to make sure she was honored on her birthday, surprise parties had always been out of the question, given their living situation.]

I'm not sure, actually. I suppose as long as I get to spend time with the people precious to me, it wouldn't matter.

[Being the center of a lot of attention, though? No, thank you. She would never have even posed for that picture if Sister Bikini hadn't insisted.]

[...although...]

Mr. Edgeworth is a very reserved person. I can understand that, and do think it should be respected.

[ HMMM. Well, if she isn't SURE, clearly that's free reign to do whatever Trucy wants to do. And since she prefers surprise parties, she will just recommend that.

...Plus lunch with Dad to get Iris out of the way while they set up, although the reason is really more like "go on a daaaaaaaaate already". ]

Yeah, I wouldn't throw him a surprise party - people should be happy on their birthdays! We could always throw him a surprise party on like, an entirely different day for the purpose of annoying him or something.

I'm joking, but.

Soooo how are you settling in? Have you made any good friends?

[...well, if it was just a small surprise, she might not mind so much...maybe...]

I have, actually. I think I'm even almost starting to get used to those games.

[ It won't be anything on Klavier's party...probably more lowkey, but with Everyone Iris Cares About there, since that's the only thing she said she specifically wanted.

SPEAKING OF... ]

Ooooh, what are their names? I wonder how many of them I know!

ViViD DOES get easier as you go, a little! We should totally do a group game together sometime, too.

You want me to list all of them? I'm...not sure I could. I mean, there was Miss Rei, of course. She grew up in a similar life as I did, so it was nice to meet someone with that in common. And little Takeru, of course. He's a sweet boy. And Alice. And Mr. Kaneda. And that one point...the one who always looks so sad all the time. Heero. And that strange boy who knew about possession... [Merlin]

Oh, and of course, there's all the people from the same world as us, but from different points in time.

Oooh, Rei! I was her secret santa. :) I should really tell her about that someday...

I haven't met too many of the others, though. I'll add them to my meet these people list!!!

Our timelines need a chart or something, honestly!

Secret Santa? You should. They're all very nice people. It is very confusing. I still don't understand why we were all brought here from such different points in time.

Yep! Back in December Weiss ran a Secret Santa...I signed up and got Rei, so I gave her a music player. It had Mr. Gavin's hits on it!!

Me either...honestly, I'm glad Daddy and I are at the same timeline point. It'd be kind of terrible if he didn't remember adopting me. Oooh, or if Polly didn't remember me...! That just gives me the shivers.

You are very lucky. I'm glad for you.

[Even if it meant a few complications on her end.]

Hey, do you ever get your nails done?

What do you mean?

[ she attaches a file ]

Painted or whatever! I have a lot of nail polish if you want to come hang out anytime.

[Give her some time to access said file and then look over the picture.]

How pretty! No, I've never had that before. Do you know how to paint those designs?

Yeah!! Those are mine right now. :) I can do flowers for you too? I only got to start using lip gloss after my birthday here, but Daddy never had any objections to nail polish, so I've been using that for aaaaaaages.

[ apparently phoenix wright has some objections to other types of makeup in the vicinity of his daughter? ]

[Don't ask Iris; she hardly ever wore any makeup, herself.]

Sure! I would love to come over and spend some time with you like that. Or you can come here. Whatever's easier for you.

I'm fine either way!! Would today be good for you, or another day?

Today would be fine. I only have work in the morning and will be home just before lunch.

In that case, just come over here! I'll make you lunch and nail-painting can happen after! You can tell me stories about college-aged Daddy?

Alright. Though, are you sure you want to hear them? Most of them might not seem very interesting to anyone but us.

Of course I am! Stories about the people I love are allllllways interesting. Especially if they're funny and I can bring them up at hilarious times. Please tell me all the funny ones!

I'll try.

See you later!! :) Just ring the bell when you get here, ok?

ok
