Come one and all to Gotham

[blindingtrust]

Here is where everyone can find the place where Ivy met Phoenix for their date. Actually they might find her here too with a large dog on a leash. The dog looks to be a cross between a Saint Bernard and a German Shepard and is sniffing around. Of course it can't pick up on Phoenix's scent here. Too many people have been here. But Ivy brought her dog along just in case not many people appeared to investigate the missing defense lawyer. In all honestly she isn't sure what to expect.

But the city seems dark. Oppressing. And it holds many secrets and clues if someone is willing to look for them. Get ready folks, because this will prove to be an adventure.

Novak winces. Expensive gizmo and little lizard voice in his ear is nice. LOUD LI PINPOINT VOICE IS BAD. "Hi, Li.. oh, that's good. What is a magatama? .. Tell me later. Either way, I have .. er.. half of Phoenix's pinpoint? Looks kind of banged up. Or a lot of banged up. I think I may be correct in saying Nok probaly dragged Phoenix across town." Frown. ".. 'We'? Weren't you searching alone?"

"Oeee. Where did you find it? I called Edgeworth in because, um..." he pauses in thought and then says, very quietly, "I don't have a spine."

"That's okay." Novak nods to the pinpoint, though this is kind of ineffectual as Li is probaly across town. "Not having a spine is totally acceptable as long as you don't have to work for me." He can probaly hear the grin this time, though. "Anyway... I"m on..." He glances up, and directions are fed to him. "Baker and 48th. Where are you?"

[clever--fool.livejournal.com]

"Couch Street, I think, somewhere between 49th and 50th." Not too far away, but still an oddly long distance. "Geez, how did his PINpoint get all the way over there?" he mutters.

He turns and talks to someone out of range of the PIN's microphone - presumably Edgeworth, and then says to Novak, "Okay. We'll look over here for a little while longer and then head in that direction."

Novak murmurs something outside of Li's range back, then frowns. "That's ..four blocks. Not.. that much, but I'd say it'd might be rough if you weren't in walking shape." He frowns at this. "You want me to come over there, or are you going to come here? I think - if Edgeworth is with you, then we need to tell.. Mia and Otto? about our discoveries."

[clever--fool.livejournal.com]

Li nods, a gesture which is entirely ineffectual when communicating by 'phone'. At least Novak can rest assured that he's not the only one stupid enough to do that.

"Okay. We'll call Mia, you call Otto? And we'll go over there because Edgeworth already agreed to that and I don't want to annoy him more than I already have by changing my mind."

"Well it's good to know I'm not the only one annoying Edgeworth." A small chuckle. "Alright, head over. I'll chill and eat something." Oreos in pockets = best idea ever, by the way. "see you in a few."

He hangs up on Li and calls Otto. "Sir Octavius?"

It only takes a second for the man on the other end of the phone to pick up and respond. Even though Ock has probably been waiting for some kind of news from the Gotham investigators, his voice still comes out in a cranky snarl.

"What is it, Novak? Have you found something significant?"

[nthelizard.livejournal.com]

"Hey, one ring. That's pretty good. Anyway... yeah. Li found Phoenix's.. uh, Magatama, I think it's called - that stone thing on his bow when he's Sailor Objection? And I found.. uh, half of his pinpoint. They're four blocks away from eachother, so... clearly, they've been on the move. I don't know if you can do some sort of technological trace thingamabob, but ... you wanna see this stuff? speaking of, what're you doin'?"

[octopus-hubris.livejournal.com]

Novak can practically see Otto's frown. "You were fortunate to find any trace of him, then... your discovery would definitely explain why he wasn't responding to phone calls.

"I've been working on a photon weapon designed to emu- forget it, I'll explain later. You're hoping that I might be able to trace Phoenix's location through the rest of his PINpoint? It's a long shot, and there's no guarantee that he has the rest of it on him, but..."

He pauses thoughtfully, then adds, "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to at least see what you've uncovered."

[nthelizard.livejournal.com]

"A weapon that shoots EMUS? okay, that's cool. .. sorry." Pause, laughter. "Dude, you are the technobrain of the rescue group. Just do what you can, okay? and explain it to me in simplest terms, with no complex atomic formulas. We'll probaly head back to .. the Nexus, or some other meeting point and discuss our findings."

[octopus-hubris.livejournal.com]

"Alright, then... I'll see if there's a way to locate Phoenix's PINpoint by remote, and call you back once I know if it is impossible or if I've actually had some kind of success in determining his location on Earth. Phone me if you or the others have found anything more concrete."

"Will do!"

A few moments later, Li rounds the corner with Edgeworth in tow. He is blissfully unaware of how Edgeworth's conversation with Mia ended and, though it was mentioned to him that she'd be tagging along, he has no idea of the implications of such.

Besides, he's got more important things to worry about.

"Novak!" He doesn't want to quite yell, so he says this once he is within normal speaking distance. "Anything new?"
