[The funny thing is, if Apollo hadn't countered, Waver would have immediately caught himself and apologized. Maybe he'd even have felt a little bad about the whole thing.]

[But seeing an incoming punch caused reflexes and aikido training to kick in. He'd blocked and was damn near ready to throw Apollo halfway down the hall before logic interrupted.]

...What the hell are we doing?

[perceivesjustice]

[His panic flares when it turns out that his opponent is poised to mop the floor with him. He raises his arms in front of his face and cowers behind them.]

I-I don't know! It's like I don't know anything anymore!

Why the hell did you punch me?!

[fionnuisce]

Because you showed up shouting like a bloody idiot! What did you expect when everyone's on their last nerve?!

[perceivesjustice]

I wasn't shouting! I just--

[...No, that's shouting, Apollo. He lowers his head.] I mean... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-- startle anyone, or anything like that.

[fionnuisce]

I did try to knock you out, so I suppose we're fairly even.

[Shrug.]

To answer your question: Lord El-Melloi the second, Waver Velvet. I'd give you the details on this place, but at the moment my notes are completely unreadable.

[perceivesjustice]

Ah, um-- nice... to meet you, sir. I'm Apollo Justice, attorney at law.

I see. But do you have any idea about what's going on currently?

[fionnuisce]

[He gave a long-suffering sigh at that; since his little nervous breakdown Waver had tried to detach himself from the situation as much as possible. He didn't want to think about it, didn't want to rationalize or work it out.]

[But in the end he really had no choice in the matter.]

It's obvious, even if we don't want to address it. Everything we thought this place was is a carefully constructed falsehood, down to even our physical forms.

[perceivesjustice]

"Obvious", huh.

[The way he spits out that word with such contempt is a bit surprising even to his own ears. He's sick of being in the dark. There's no knowledge he can gain that will ever top experience in this tower.]

A falsehood... to trick us into forming some sense of security...?

[It's his best guess. Even though security in this tower is a hard thing to come by, having everything stripped away like this really leaves them all with nothing.]

[fionnuisce]

Obvious to anyone with control of their basic logical thinking, at least.

[waver, don't be a dick.]

It's possible. I'd go as far as to say that it's probable. But with only this much information, I don't know for sure.

[perceivesjustice]

[It's okay, he'll ignore it for now. Not that it helps his irritation any.]

After something like this happening, is there really much we can know for sure?

[fionnuisce]

To put it bluntly? Not a single damned thing.
