((Interesting.))

As the sunlight shone on her face through the glass window in her room, Trucy stretched and got up, wearing her blue pajamas. Hearing her stomach grumble, she headed to the kitchen for breakfast. She saw Zeth in the kitchen as well, his phone in hand, and with a curiously serious expression on his face. "Morning, Uncle Zeth," she said with a smile, trying to brighten up his mood as she went to toast some bread. Getting the butter, she asked, "What's wrong? Who are you calling?"

Glancing behind him and spotting Trucy Wright, Phoenix's chirpy daughter, Zeth grinned. Turning to fully face her, and sitting on the table, Zeth continued to hold the phone to his ear and nodded,

"I have a suspicious article here," Zeth started softly, covering the speaker end of his phone with his hand, "You follow much art, Trucy?"

[Osterzone. I'm getting nostalgic now. XDD And Snackoos! That's so adorable! ^.^]

Karmi rushes into the kitchen with her hands on her ears. She was in the living room a few seconds ago to greet her boss, but since she isn't a fan of most "modern music," she quickly moved to the one place where it can't reach: the kitchen.

"Morning, guys!" she greeted, instantly opening the freezer and stuffing as many ice cubes as she can into a glass. "What's up, Zeth? Playing Sudoku or something?" she inquired, pouring herself a generous amount of orange juice.

((I know- isn't it TOTALLY ironic? XD ))

"Something like that," Zeth responded, listening to the ring tone while he waited for Ema to answer her phone. Watching Karmi pour the glass of orange juice, Zeth walked over, and as Karmi put down the bottle of orange juice, Zeth picked up the glass and gave it a short sip. Making a face, Zeth scrunched his nose up at the juice, "Bah- That's concentrate orange juice. How of earth can you and Wright drink that stuff. It's full of sugar and food colouring."

Putting the glass back down on the counter, Zeth leant on the sill beside Karmi and shrugged, "I'm not sure what it means, but the gallery across town is hosting a heap of works from this dead artist guy Osterzone, but something doesn't smell right about it." Glancing aside, Zeth hummed, "There's a gallery a few states along which are ALSO hosting Osterzones' artworks, and both galleries are boasting having the same prized piece of art, 'The angel star'. Now either one gallery has a phoney, or there's something fishy up. I'm just contacting Ema now about it."

Karmi shakes her glass a bit, willing the ice to melt into the juice faster. "Ah, The Angel Star? Yeah; I've seen it a couple of times downtown. What? Even a monkey like me can appreciate art. But anyway, that's really weird. One of them's probably a fake or something. I hope Ema picks up soon," she said, taking a big gulp and enjoying it. "You know, there is a reason why I put in so much ice," she teased.

Zeth raised a brow with a slight smirk, "You've seen it a few times? Then I better bring my seasoned expert with me when I go an see it. Reckon you remember much about the painting? There's been a few paint over jobs in this area lately, and I'm not sure if maybe the one in this area is the fake. It's being hosted at that swept up gallery in town. I know for a FACT that gallery has mafia connections. Whether I can tag them with this or not is entirely up to what we can find."

"The Mafia? Well, that's not good," Karmi remarked, most likely underestimating the gravity and size of the problem. "But I'm in. I'm not too quick to trust my memory but I'll do what I can. Who knows? Visiting the painting again might jog a few things."

Karmi could smell something slightly burning and dashed off to Trucy to salvage the toast.

((Awesome. I've a cunning idea not to keep Zeth waiting~ I'll contact Ema though.))

As the insistent ringing of Ema's phone didn't seem to want to abate any time soon, Klavier decided to be gentlemanly for a change, reaching over Ema's body blindly to his bedside table to retrieve the phone. Wearily squinting at the caller ID, he propped his soft purple pillow up against the headboard and sat up before pressing the green button on Ema's phone. He would probably be hit later for an invasion of privacy, but he honestly preferred that to an irate morning Ema.

"Good morning, Herr Gant," Klavier said, voice slightly hoarse, but still charming, from sleep. He took the phone away from his ear briefly to check the time, noting that it wasn't too early for Ema. Nonetheless, he returned it to his ear. "Can we help you?" he said, using his other hand to gently shake Ema's shoulder.

The alarm went off, although Pearl Fey had no need of it, being as she'd been awake since five- a relic from her childhood spent in Kurain. Pearl had thought she would stay in the village for her whole life, so it was still a surprise every morning to find herself, at the age of sixteen, waking up in an apartment in the city.

She hadn't expected to enjoy working as Zeth Gant's assistant at first but soon Pearl had discovered that she liked answering phones and filing paperwork and accompanying Zeth around in his investigations. And today being an ordinary day, she was keen to get along with her secretarial duties as soon as possible.

Remembering that an art gallery had rung to leave a message for Zeth the previous day, she picked up her cell phone (an odd invention that she'd only just gotten used to using) and punched in his number. Frowning as she was informed that the phone was engaged, Pearl tried the next in command, Ema Skye, only to find that her phone was too.

There was only one thing for it. Pearl gathered up her backpack which she always used to carry her work supplies and left the apartment. If there was one place she could count on Zeth turning up sooner or later, it was Mr. Nick's house. Reaching the front door in record time (Pearl was one very fast teenager), she rang the bell and waited for an answer.

((Long post is long =) I added the bit about the gallery to give Pearls an excuse to go over- maybe Zeth rang the gallery to inquire about the painting? If that doesn't fit, I'm fine to edit ^_^ ))

Trucy looked at the newspaper Zeth was holding, and nodded. "I think I've seen this before...The Angel Star, huh?" she said, listening to their conversation. She forgot about her toast as she listened, but got a plate as she saw Karmi heading to the toaster, as the bread was slightly singed. "Thanks, Karmi," she said with a slight smile. "I guess I'll have to eat burnt toast for now, but at least it's really crispy!"

Trucy then heard the doorbell ring, and placing the plate on the kitchen counter, she dashed to the door to answer. Opening it, she found Pearl, who was now Zeth's present secretary, waiting at the door. "Good morning, Pearly!" she greeted her, with her signature smile. "That's the earliest you've gotten here! Come on in, Uncle Zeth's at the kitchen."

"Oh, hi, Trucy!" Pearl smiled as the cheerful magician answered the door. "I guess I am a little early- I have a message I need to give to Mr. Zeth. It's probably nothing important but I was awake anyway so I thought I'd come over. That's what a good secretary does, right?"
She stepped through the door into the lounge and yes, she could indeed see Zeth on the phone (which, Pearl realised, was why she hadn't been able to reach him earlier) and settled down on a chair to wait for him to finish.

Seeing as Pearl had to wait until Zeth finished his call, Trucy decided to make her comfortable. She reached across the table for the slightly burnt pieces of bread, and handing Pearl one, she said, "Here, have a piece of toast while you're waiting. Um, sorry it's a bit burnt, I kind of forgot to get it out of the toaster. Good thing Karmi got it before it got all burnt."

She then poured two glasses of milk and handed her one. "I'll go check on Daddy first, you can eat while Uncle Zeth's still calling, okay?" she said, and smiled as she headed to the living room, where Phoenix was watching the latest Double O Ninja episode. "Morning, Daddy!" she greeted with a hug. "Watching TV again, huh? Well, why don't you eat breakfast first? Uncle Zeth, Karmi and Pearly are there, too, so why not come and join us?"

((XD Lots of RP XD OK, time to get down to business :hobohodo: ))

"Oh, morning, Sunshine!" Phoenix grinned as Trucy leapt up and gave him a hug. Sweeping her around so she was sitting on his lap, Phoenix seemed unusually positive this morning, even though he usually wasn't too good with mornings, "You're looking happy this morning, as usual!"

"Watching TV again, huh? Well, why don't you eat breakfast first? Uncle Zeth, Karmi and Pearly are there, too, so why not come and join us?" Trucy asked, as Phoenix turned down the volume of the TV. Giving Trucy a surprised look, he couldn't help a chuckle.

"Oh, really? Everyone is here early today! The company is turning into a Wright little family with the extra branch added and me going for my badge!" Chuckling to himself, Phoenix turned off the TV, and got comfortable, "I've already had some breakfast- I'm having my first break from studying. What's up though? Is Zeth and Karmi starting to organise parties here also now?"


In the kitchen, Zeth listened to the dial tone for a moment longer before the smooth... yet morning voice of Klavier Gavin answered him. Not the response he was expecting.

"WE help you?" Zeth echoed, before he realised that he meant Ema. Recomposing himself quickly as he felt a little foolish being surprised that Ema was at his house, Zeth strolled back over to the newspaper while he recollected his thoughts, "Sorry to disturb you two, I can call back later when I do a preliminary search over the site, but I think I have a lead we can follow." Pausing in thought, he wasn't sure how much he should disclose to a state prosecutor of his investigations. He was doing some sort of underhanded investigations already, going on the site to prove that the paint was or wasn't the real thing. He couldn't really start talking to any legal body till he proved that the picture was a fake in some way. Or until he got the reply call from the other gallery on the integrity of their painting. IT was a tough one.

((Up to you who has the fake then Panda :) ))

"Ah." Klavier had heard some vague mentions of Zeth's investigations, enough to know that they weren't entirely legal, so his audible hesitance made sense. "Nein, you're not disturbing anything. I'll hand you over to Ema. ...When she wakes up," he added, shaking her shoulder a little harder. Really, it wasn't that early. She must have been pretty tired. "...Is it something I shouldn't know about?" he said curiously, stretching his free arm above his head.

Pearl accepted the glass of milk and the slightly charred toast from Trucy and crunched the latter down happily. She'd never been fussy about food- toast was toast whether it was burnt or not.

She leant back in her chair and was startled to hear her phone ring. Picking it up, Pearl pressed the button to take the call and her eyes widened as the caller spoke.

"T-thank you for calling, I'll tell Mr. Gant as soon as I can....." she managed before the person on the other end hung up on her.

Deciding that the messages needed to be relayed whether Zeth was on the phone or not, she dug a pad of paper and a biro out of her backpack and moved to a spot directly in front of him where she could be clearly seen.

THE ART GALLERY CALLED. THEY SAY THEY CAN AUTHENTICATE THEIR PAINTING TOO. she wrote in neat capitals, displaying the pad to Zeth.

So both galleries say their painting is real.....

Pearl paused for a moment before writing. A CUSTODIAN WHO WORKS AT THE GALLERY CALLED TOO, JUST A MOMENT AGO. HE SAYS NEITHER OF THEM ARE REAL.

"Hang on a second, Gavin," Zeth halted, noticing Pearl's signs. Covering the speaker, he lowered the cellphone and gave Pearls a curious look, ""What makes them say that both are fake? Did they say? That could make a difference to what they're up to."

Glad to have caught Zeth's attention, Pearl lowered the pad of paper. "The man who called, he sounded kind of scared- as soon as he'd told me both of the paintings were fakes, he hung up straight away. But he said if you got Miss Ema to do a "carbon dating test" you'd find out for yourself that they weren't real...." she finished, hoping it didn't show too much that she had no idea what carbon dating was.

She remembered his having mentioned previously that both art galleries had Mafia connections and ventured a guess.

"Mr. Zeth, you know how you said Kraus Group who own the galleries has Mafia connections? Do you think that's why he hung up on me in such a hurry?"

"Mr. Zeth, you know how you said Kraus Group who own the galleries has Mafia connections? Do you think that's why he hung up on me in such a hurry?"

Zeth gave Pearls a serious expression for a moment, thinking to himself about what this all meant. Sure, he'd have to do some further investigation into it, but something didn't ring right. Picking up the cell phone to his ear, Zeth glanced at the cell phone, "My apologies, Mr Gavin. Could you tell Ema that I require her assistance when she gets up? There's a few tests I need her to do."

**Zeth would wrap up the phone call politely at this point XD **

Looking back to Pearls he closed his phone, Zeth pushed his glasses back up his nose, "That's not quite right," Zeth replied, "Kraus group owns the gallery here in Los Angeles, but not both. The other gallery is run by an art enthusiast in New York." Pausing, Zeth stroked his goatee thoughtfully, as he considered his additions, "What the informant from the local gallery? Or the New York one then?"

((Please note- I'm not from America, but Miles' Formspring profile states he's a Prosecutor in Los Angeles so I'm basing this RP in California now :) Please forgive me if I'm TOTALLY wrong with localizations. I'll correct it if I say anything wrong.))

((Don't want my posts to be too long, so I won't include what Phoenix said. And...you people are fast. :payne:))

Trucy smiled, and replied, "No, I think they were talking about some sort of duplication of this painting....The Angel Star, by Osterzone. They said something about one in New York and another in our local gallery run by the....Claus Group, I think? You'd better ask them, though." Pulling Phoenix's hand, she said, "We should go to the kitchen anyway, at least to greet all of them."

[Yeah; the North American and European localizations state that the games occurred in Los Angeles, California.]

Karmi had already finished her juice and kept herself busy by sucking on an ice cube as she observed the exchanges between Zeth and Pearl. This is getting more fascinating--if not more frustrating--by the minute.

Pausing, Zeth stroked his goatee thoughtfully, as he considered his additions, "What the informant from the local gallery? Or the New York one then?"

"Well, what's our next move? No use wasting our time so I guess we'll start with the one closer to home," Karmi suggested. She heaved herself off the counter she was sitting on. "So, there's more than one possibility here..." she trailed off, adopting a similar pose as Zeth as she tried to enumerate all that they've gathered so far. "One is real and one is fake? Or both are fake? Is it even possible that both are real?" She paused, finally crunching the ice cube in her mouth and swallowing it. "There is another possibility here, though, and it'll make things even more complicated.

"Suppose both are fake. Where's the real one, then? Could it be hidden? Like something else was painted over it? So, Zeth, what's our objective now? To prove which gallery has a fake or a real one? Or to find The Angel Star?"

((Sorry Angel- I tried to keep Phoenix in time with you, but conversations away from Trucy x Phoenix's one can't be dictated by their conversation ^^; If it helps, you can walk into a conversation and 'listen' to it for a while as long as it doesn't contradict what they're RPing, which I'm about to do. ))

((Phoenix's house can be based off my other RP's house if it works

Spoiler: Map
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/arkillian/STB-1.jpg


Donno where Apollo's office and Zeth's office is. Maybe they camp out somewhere?))

Phoenix hummed, glancing at the kitchen door thoughtfully. He shouldn't get too involved with Zeth's business, but even though Zeth was careful, he also tended to walk a fine line with legality in his cases. He didn't want him to slip up under his name. Looking back at Trucy tugging his hand, Phoenix gave her a smile and messed up her hair a little playfully,

"The Kraus Group is a honest business company that HAPPENS to own alot of the big name businesses in the area, Trucy. Try not to take everything he says so seriously. Zeth hasn't got a shred of proof that legally proves anything. Zeth is basing his assumption of knowing a few family members. I hardly think that automatically makes the whole company a crook," Sitting upright, Phoenix held onto both of her hands and gave her a serious look, "He's got good intentions, Trucy, but don't get tied up with what he's doing too much, ok? It may seem like fun, but he's doing ALOT of guess work, and if he's wrong in his hunches, I don't want you involved with the consequences."

Getting up to his feet, Phoenix continued to hold his daughter's hand as they walked to the kitchen, watching The discussion in the kitchen for a while, watching Karmi do her analysis. Waiting till she was done, Phoenix walked up to the group and poured himself some orange juice.

"I think you're all jumping to some board conclusions- even you see that, right Zeth?" Phoenix stated, pointing to the news article, "Have you looked at the paintings in detail up close? What if they are BOTH originals? What's to say that your painting doesn't have a sister painting? They may both have the same name, but it's the title of the pair which is known- not the individual paintings names."

"Yeah," Zeth replied, "I considered that. Some works of art come in pairs, and it's not uncommon for paintings to be the same. Why wouldn't they travel in pairs in the road show though?"

((Heheh... plot devices are starting to become activated :) ))

Karmi was quite pleased that her boss showed interest in their discussion.

"Good point, though I also wonder why they aren't together, as Zeth said. If I take both statements into account, another possibility comes up: both are real but are of different versions. Phoenix, you were an art major before, so you must've heard of Virgin of the Rocks. There were two versions done, and one is in the Louvre and the other in London. The Angel Star may be a similar case.

"Something still bothers me, though..." She crossed her arms and gave Zeth and Phoenix a serious glance. "What was that phone call Pearl got? The man on the other line--what was he scared of?"

((Things are getting interesting now. I like it. :franny: ))

Trucy nodded as Phoenix explained the situation. "Alright," she replied, "if you want me not to get too involved, I won't. But I can at least hang around, until Polly needs me, right?" Then Phoenix got up and they both proceeded to the kitchen. Deciding to listen to their conversation, Trucy sat down and drank her milk. "I sure wish we could have all days as interesting as this," she thought, "but Apollo's always busy with something. Where exactly is Apollo right now, anyway?" She pondered on this, as Zeth, Karmi and Phoenix continued their discussion.

Pearl chewed on her thumbnail pensively as she considered the strange call she'd received.

"He said he was from the LA Gallery. I thought at first maybe he was just trying to discredit the New York one, but then he said both were fake- why would he say the painting in his own gallery wasn't real?" she said, in a confused tone.

Like Mr. Zeth was always telling her, there was no substitute for experience- they'd inevitably have to check out the gallery for themselves.

"Yes," Phoenix responded to Karmi, "Da Vinci painted them about 5 years apart. They have the same subject, but they're very slightly different."

"An interesting point," Zeth grinned, crossing his arms, "I think this grants an initial investigation on the internet to see if Osterzone really DID make two paintings alike." Pearl then explained abotu her phone call, how it was the LA gallery that called, and claimed that he had the fake. Zeth's eyes lit up joyfully, "So... He called you?" Zeth asked in interest, "Like, he's ALSO a client? Our first client?" Grabbing Pearls shoulders, Zeth grinned, "You told him our rates, right? I've been starting to delve into the spare funds lately, it'd be great if we're starting to top that up again!"

Phoenix chuckled. He knew what Zeth meant- he'd keep a few grand on him so that he could gamble back a solid income again. He couldn't go over board with it though, or people wouldn't let him come back again. He may be able to make money fast, but he had to be VERY careful doing it. He imagined that earning legit money was an extremely odd thing for him.

"Alright," Trucy replied, "if you want me not to get too involved, I won't. But I can at least hang around, until Polly needs me, right?"

Phoenix thought to himself, tapping his chin as he watched Zeth, Karmi and Pearls chatting about the paintings. He admitted, it was all pretty exciting for him also. It was a bit of a shame for a cleaver mind like Trucy's to be upset that she was missing out while Apollo was doing masses of paper work. It wasn't really even a full time job for her. She just did it in between gigs.

"I'll tell you what, Trucy," Phoenix smiled, bending down to Trucy's height so he could talk quietly to her, "I want to see how Zeth handles this investigation, because I also don't want to see Pearls getting into trouble also. Karmi looks like she's joining in too which is fair enough cause I can't give her anything to do yet. How about I come along, see what's happening, we can look at some art, and do some investigation at the same time. That sound like fun?"

((We need more adults in this RP XD ))

((BTW- I haven't decided on an age for Zeth in this. In canon, he is a year older than Phoenix to match up with Damon Gant's age (Cause otherwise he was REALLY old when he had Zeth), but since this isn't canon, I can make him 27 if people want. What does everyone reckon? Mid 30s? Or Late 20s?))

Noticing Phoenix come to her, Trucy smiled as he said, "I'll tell you what, Trucy. I want to see how Zeth handles this investigation, because I also don't want to see Pearls getting into trouble also. Karmi looks like she's joining in too which is fair enough cause I can't give her anything to do yet. How about I come along, see what's happening, we can look at some art, and do some investigation at the same time. That sound like fun?"

Trucy nodded in excitement and smiled, saying, "Anything with art and investigation will be really fun! Too bad Polly can't come along, though. What's keeping him so busy anyway? It's not like he gets too many clients."
I've been away for far too long.
So long, in fact, that all of my signatures now exist behind a paywall.
Bummer.

Pearl smiled- it was hard not to be affected by Zeth's enthusiasm- and nodded. She'd been a little worried herself about Wright Investigations's lack of clients, so she was relieved, to say the least, that they'd finally got their first client.

"He wants to hire us independently, not on behalf of the gallery, so it's probably safe to say that they don't know he's called us. I....didn't have the chance to tell him our rates, but he wants to meet us as soon as we can come down to the gallery so I think we could tell him then." she finished.

((Personally, I picture Zeth being in his early thirties ^_^))

Ema had been lounging away on a private beach somewhere in the Carribean, where the oceans' sapphire hue could be viewed as a brilliant transluscent gem amongst golden dunes and shimmering white-crested waves. It was here Ema relaxed, her own private lab overlooking dolphins fins breaking the water, overlooking scientific paradise. Vending machines for Snackoos embedded in the sand outside, a highly respected position under her belt, some German accent purring nearing her ear---wait. German? Some noise had preceeded that, the too-recognizable Bill Nye the Science Guy theme permeating her island paradise. And wait, why was everything shaking? If she didn't try and get ahold of herself, the delicate evidence sent directly from Mr. Edgeworth would be compromised...was there an earthquake? And there, that stupid accent was getting irritatingly louder. Deciding she probably needed a nap, Ema closed her eyes, only to open them a second later to..bedsheets? PURPLE sheets?
"Klavier!" She shrieked, burrowing under those stupid, all-too fluffy covers. Stupid fop. Stupid apartment. Stupid glimmerous sheets that were just so comfortable. Why was he still talking? A blue eye cracking open, arm flailing to either smack the stupid Fopsicutor or grab the thing he was talking into [her phone, it appeared. What gave him the audacity to grab -that-?]. Groaning, Ema grabbed at the plastic device, practically snarling into it before throwing it back at Klavier, hoping it closed itself. Heaving a sigh, she burrowed back under the covers again.

Jumping at the sudden shriek by his ear, Klavier was extremely grateful for having closed the conversation off with Zeth before the phone was snatched away, grumbled into, and thrown back at him. Wincing as it struck his chest, Klavier scooped the phone up and placed it on the bedside table again before hesitantly pulling the covers away from Ema's face. Yeah, he probably should have let her wake up naturally. No doubt he would have the grumpy Ema he'd hoped to avoid.

"Rise and shine, fräulein. Herr Gant called." He paused before grinning, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and standing, stretching his arms. "He needs your scientific skill," he baited, reaching for his clothes before sauntering to his ensuite to get dressed.

((Not sure how I can jump in, but I'll try.))

Wocky was walking down the street near his house, going nowhere in particular. He just liked walking around, and besides, he was tired of his mother nagging him to clean his room.

Ever since his father became reformed from the gangster business, Wocky decided to follow suit since he really didn't want to go through what he did during his trial with that quack doctor. And her. It took him a long time to get over being betrayed by Alita, but eventually he found that it was pointless to love someone who only wanted him for his money. However, he hasn't had any luck finding another girlfriend since then. Sure, he had his eye on a few girls before, but they were either taken or uninterested.

Wocky continued to walk for a few more minutes until he stopped at a building with a sign outside the window.

Wright Investigations

He thought it sounded familiar, so he decided to walk up to the door and knock, just out of curiousity.

Gant? Uuughhh, -him-. Not the worst person's name to wake up to, but it was worth it. "Zeth," She corrected, mumbling into the pillow. "Herr Zeth." And now, much to her distaste, Ema rolled over, finding that there was no warm body for her to take out her anger on. Muttering a rather colorful string of words before curling up again, Ema prepared to go back to sleep [after throwing one of the pillows at Klavier]. But then, just as she was about to try and drift off into a land of Snackoos, she heard that magic, magic word. "He wants my..." SCIENCE? The detective hadn't gotten out of bed this fast in months, and though she ended up rolling onto the floor with a resounding groan, it was still better than waiting around. Excitement shown in her eyes as she practically speed-walked in and out of the shower [after pushing Klavier out of the ensuite] and her necessary morning routine, grabbing her customary outfit from its hanging place in that terribly foppish closet. She couldn't wear anything from yesterday, their clothes still in a mess on the floor next to the bed. Dressing quickly and jamming her purse and labcoat pockets with basic forensic equipment and Snackoos [thank goodness she'd brought her supply from home], Ema ran back to the closet, grabbing a...oh, damn. A Gavinners gym bag, thankfully not too full. Whatever clothes there were in it were now stuffed in the bottom of the closet, the thing rapidly being filled with Ema's precious forensic kits, again, brought from her apartment a few blocks away. If she was starting to move in, it was definitley showing. "Come ON, fop, we have to GO." Grumbling to herself and slinging the thing over her shoulder, Ema snatched her cell phone up again, redialing Zeth's number. If he didn't answer, there was hell to pay.

((Sorry guys- you're going to have to fit yourselves in to the story for now since this thread was originally meant to be for Wright Investigations only, but if you can weasel into the plot, I'll do my best to accommodate you :) I've never run an investigation on the fly so we'll see how crazy this gets ^^))

"He wants to hire us independently, not on behalf of the gallery, so it's probably safe to say that they don't know he's called us. I....didn't have the chance to tell him our rates, but he wants to meet us as soon as we can come down to the gallery so I think we could tell him then." Pearls replied happily, cheering Zeth up fully. This was what he was waiting for. Someone willing to pay him money for somethign he was going to do for free anyway.

"WARNING. DANGER WILL ROBINSON. WARNING. DANGER WILL ROBINSON. WARNING. DANGER WILL..." Zeth grinned. Finally Ema was calling him back. Must've taken Klavier a while to convince her to listen to him. Answering his cell phone, Zeth drew the phone to his ear and grinned.

"Good afternoon, Sunshine," Zeth greeted , using Phoenix's nickname for Trucy in an ironic way, "I'm taking that you didn't get much sleep last night?"

[[BEST RINGTONE EVER XDD]]]

Resisting the urge to growl yet again, Ema decided to merely glare at her phone, as if that would somehow communicate her dislike for the sweet sarcasm pouring out of its receiver. "None of your business. The fop said you needed my scientific expertise?"

"Yeah," Zeth replied, looking over at the newspaper article on the 'Angel Star' painting, "I was just reading through the local today, and noticed that an art gallery in town was featuring a particularly interesting painting in their gallery at the moment. I thought that you may want to come and see it with me." Glancing back up again, Zeth looked to the side thoughtfully, "It's called the 'Angel Star'. That ring any bells to you?"

((Sorry- I forgot to add the Wocky post))

"DING DONG!" Glancing towards the door, Phoenix halted his chat with his daughter for a moment to take note of the door.

"More potential clients perhaps?" Phoenix asked himself hopefully. It'd be nice for work to come to Apollo for once. He was a little worried that when he finally got his badge back that there wouldn't be enough work for the two of them. Walking over to the door, Phoenix opened it to see Wocky Kitikati standing there. Giving him a grin Phoenix invited him in.

"Wocky! Are you here to see Trucy? Everyone is in the kitchen if you want to say hi to her."

Hearing the doorbell, Trucy stood up, placing her now empty glass of milk on the counter. Phoenix got there first, and Trucy followed. "Oh, hi, Wocky!" she said, smiling, as usual. "Come on in! Everyone's at the kitchen. Why don't you have a snack first?" She then led the way back to the kitchen, grabbing the cookie jar and filling another glass with milk for their guest.

"Yeah, sure", Wocky responded as he walked in, "Haven't seen her in a while."

He couldn't remember the last time he saw Trucy. Wocky thought she had a style that was cool to him, and they formed a bit of a friendship.

When he saw Trucy come up he answered, "Sure..."

Angel Star? Ema took a moment to think it over, the name its own independent little card flicking across a mental catalog to try and find its match. After a while, something clicked, however faint. "I'm not going on a date with you--if there's something scientific, let's get down to it." She had heard about the painting before, ironically through the forensics unit, or rather, her incessant stalking of them. Ema liked to call it intent observation. Putting the phone down for a second to fix her hair, popping a Snackoo into her waiting mouth, Ema picked up the phone again, speaking after a long minute or three of munching. "I've heard about it, though. But I'm warning you, if you're wasting my time with unscientific baloney, I'd rather go back to bed."

Chuckling to himself, there was something satisfying about teasing Ema. He wasn't sure why. It was probably a little mean of him to not get straight to the point, but knowing he had something she wanted just made it all too easy to do.

"Now, I never said anything about a date," Zeth replied with a grin, "I wanted to go and have a look at a priceless piece of forgery for our first paying customer and wanted to know if you could come along and discreetly do some tests on it." Pausing for a moment, Zeth turned around and leaned on the table, "But if it's a date you are looking for I can arrange that too... You'll need to ask me with a 'pretty please' first however. I don't want snackoo shaped bruises on my face for the customer."

"PPFFTTT" Was Ema's long-winded reply. Pretty please? He'd get a better chance trying to win a staring competition with a rock. A date? A DATE?! First off, Ema didn't have a problem with an age difference, but Zeth was..Zeth. Genetics aside, he was hardly simmerous. "Pretty please fall into a pool of hydrochloric acid." A forgery? That certainly tickled her interests, and Ema found herself peeking into her backpack, seeing if she had the necessary equipment for dealing with art at the ready. Which she did, of course. It'd just have to take a lot more precision than normal to deal with a priceless painting---it certainly wasn't a crime scene. "I can see what field tests I can do, scientifically speaking. But, I'd have to set up a small lab kinda thing to do tests somewhere else."
