The Forgotten Turnabout, cont.

Disappointingly the body doesnt look like Kay, so we can cross "Kay actually did die," "she has a twin," and "was cloned" off the theory list. In a kismetic turn of fate, the body just happens to be in the PICs meeting room, where Edgeworth was scheduled to be tarred and feathered. Maybe Kay came here to try and help Edgeworth and something happened? Karin is here, with yet another fugly AAI character: Karins grandma Bonnie Young. "Fugly" is maybe a bit too harsh. Shes not too bad compared to Delicia, but she still looks like a wrinkly turd of a person. But hey, we finally meet the AA-verses coroner. I wonder if shes been the one messing up our autopsy reports for all these years? She at least has fun gimmicks, like bonking Karin on the head occasionally. Also, I'm happy to see that the "Dye-Young hospital" was more than just a throwaway gag.

I wrote down this bit of dialogue because it was so good: during our investigation, Edgeworth asks Kay if she remembers anything about Gumshoe. She replies that Edgeworth just now was getting on Gumshoes case. Gumshoe replies that this isnt a memory, this is just a part of his pleasant daily life. Something I didn't like was Gumshoe's Monty Python reference soon after this, where he name drops the Knights who say "Nee." A bit too Working Designs for my taste.

Just as Im about to dip my toes into a giant pool of blood at the crime scene, my queen, Franziska, finally graces us with her presence. Franzy is an underrated AA character imo. She kind of sucked in JFA, but ever since she's been great, with some of my favorite animations. Big fan of the finger-wag. One thing I completely forgot from AAI was that Franzy was in charge of Interpol's smuggling ring case and was flying around the world, so I appreciated the tasteful exposition here.

While post-JFA Franzy is pretty good, she does get a bit whip crazy. Maybe she does it a bit too much for my taste, but there are some choice moments like when she tells Gumshoe Try harder, worthless whipbait. Well, I hope this doesnt awaken something in me.

"Nu-Kay" is wearing a white pantsuit and boasting three holes in the chest, probably from the nearby candelabra. She also has weird burns, a security card, a mens jacket, white gloves (not on her hands) and Kays notebook from the last game. The bad news is that it appears that Kays corsage was ripped from the jacket of Nu-Kay. Oh great. Kays done and pulled a Maya on us, hasnt she.

FYI: a googled for a neat comic strip of Franziska to open this post, but then I saw a bunch of Franzy/Edgey shipping art, along with fan-art of "modern day Franziska," that disturbed me. My fault.
