Locations

1.TRAIN STATION - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with informational posters telling you all about where you've ended up.
2. THE BEACH - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you're probably not likely to dip your toes in.
3. THE BLACK STALLION - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don't see anyone immediately who's willing to serve you. Maybe you're meant to get it yourself.
4. THE OBELISK - The tall monolith in the center of the city marks the gathering place of many events, though right now it seems to be cold and dark.
5. THE CLOCKTOWER - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don't mind braving the narrow staircase.
6. THE COFFEE JOINT - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there's always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.
7. THE CATACOMBS - Intrepid, aren't you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you're going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.
8. THE CITY STREETS - All told, Ruby City is a lovely place, once you get past the fact that several of the buildings look derelict and on the verge of falling down. There's no harm in doing a little sightseeing.
9. THE PARK - You thought it'd be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like what we've come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There's a whole host of lovely locations to choose from in the City.

Scenarios

1. NEW ARRIVAL - Step off that train, walk down the street. People usually latch on to newcomers to try and help them out. Even if you look shy, the other residents probably won't be!
2. WATCH TALK - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don't worry, everyone feels that way on their first day. Fortunately - if the signs at the station are to believed - the watch in your pocket can be used to talk to whoever else might be here.
3. BAD WEATHER - Aw, man. Whether it's snow, or rain, or just plain cold, today was definitely the wrong day to get dumped off in a City in the middle of nowhere.
4. A RUN-IN - Maybe you weren't watching. Maybe they weren't. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?
5. HELP, IT HURTS - Clumsy, aren't you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn't so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you're in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.
6. HUNGRY - It isn't very obvious sometimes that restaurants are what they are, especially in a place like Ruby City. Where can a person go to get a bite to eat around here?
7. MISTAKEN IDENTITY - Hey, there's someone you know! --Or maybe not.
8. BEING FOLLOWED - Maybe you're just being paranoid, or maybe you've got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there's eyes on you...
9. CURRENT EVENTS - None at the moment, but feel free to look through our event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

(I hate to admit it but I think perhaps I might have cut his pay a little too much...)

[Edgeworth, sweetie, you have only just realised this D:] Don't worry, Detective. You won't have to pay, I assure you. Follow me.

[And he starts to head off. Come on, slowpoke Detective! We've got LOTS to talk about! Like how about you're in another world and shit yadda yadda yadda]

[His pay has its ups and its downs. And to be fair, sometimes it's other prosecutors who cut it, and he's not the best at making wise purchases with what he does get.]

What do you mean? You're not gonna... treat me are you, sir? Or... is it my birthday already?! Time sure flies, huh, Mr. Edgeworth? [Don't worry, he'll keep up with you at an eager trot!]

I'm doing nothing of the sort. Think of it this way: everything is free here. There is no currency in this place. [Think, Gumshoe - you will be able to widen your diet and eat things besides instant noodles! :D And live in a proper apartment. You'll still get yelled at by your boss though. D:]

[It sounds close enough to heaven for Gumshoe!]

What? Are you pulling my leg, boss? [He pauses for a moment and then claps his hands together in realization.]

I get it! It's not my birthday... It must be April Fools! And here I thought it was still March... well-played, sir! [He's so proud of you for potentially playing an April Fools prank!]

Er.....Detective, it is March. February doesn't magically skip to April in just a few days.

Edited 2015-03-01 16:43 (UTC)

Is that so? Y'know, I only check the date when it's time to file a report! So what does this mean... early April Fools?

No it's not. And are you seriously telling me that is the only time you check the date? How do you cope when you're trying to do something like pay your rent?

[Is he going to regret asking that?]

I might check a few other times... but not for the rent! I've got my own special system for that one, Boss! It's like... a kind of alarm! See, whenever the landlady starts banging on my door, then I know it's time to pay!

[Yes, yes you will.]

......

(......I shouldn't have asked.)

Er.....anyway, it looks like we have arrived..

[And he points to a shop with lots of umbrellas on display in the window.]

Try not to break anything inside. (Knowing the good detective, I fear that he might get a little overexcited.)

Edited 2015-03-02 13:09 (UTC)

[Gumshoe makes an impressed whistle as he sees the umbrellas in the window. And then he enters the store, much like a wet dog treading mud into the house.]

Gee! This place's got enough umbrellas for the whole force! You sure these are all free, sir?

Are you seriously suggesting that your own boss would play such a pointless and childish prank? [C'mon, Gumshoe, he's a jerk to you but not THAT much of a jerk!]

...N-no sir! I mean, maybe with your first ever prank and all, it'd be easy to get carried away...

[He goes into a nervous salute.]

But I believe in your word, sir!! One hundred percent!

.....

I don't know how you came to that conclusion and I seriously don't want to find out!

A-anyway, there is something more important that I need to discuss with you: what is the last thing you remember before you woke up on that train?

Well, let's see... [He takes a moment to think it over and then he smiles brightly.]

Oh, oh, I got this one! Me and Kay, we got you to take a picture with us! It was a really neat one, too. The best way to celebrate a case well-solved, if I do say so myself!

[He's all caught up in that memory that he doesn't consider the oddity of his memory jumping from that moment to his train ride.]

March Test Drive!

He and Adachi can talk together about how much their bosses tick them off!

I'm not very canon familiar but sure why not!

Ahahaha ok think Gumshoe except unlike Gumshoe Adachi isn't a nice person.

Ah well isn' that nice!

April Fools? Oh Gumshoe, sweetie...

It's just too good to be true!

Sadly it is most of the time for the poor guy. ;_;

Oh well. He has his days!
