Oh this is just priceless...
I doubt Phoenix really forgot his line of thought. He's a slick one that way.
I love what you've written here. It's great. Nice metaphor with the chess set as well.
Now if only you'd brought in more of those awkward moment jokes from the games...ah yes that would be great...
Wright: *sweating* What am I reading here?
Edgeworth: *annoyed severly* What is this rubbish?
Me: Erm...well...my, this is quite the predicament I'm in...

I just finished reading the story and to be honest, I have never seen the content that the characters come from. I have heard of it, so I thought I'd try your story. You managed to bring me deep into the story, even though I had no backstory coming in, which I felt was amazing. I really felt like we got a good feel for what Edgeworth was thinking. Nice work on the story!

Heh heh, Ema's such a fangirl!

Love it. This was extremely well written and it truly felt like an insight to Edgey's mind. You portrayed his confusion and emotional conflict well. Also, Nicky boy's reaction to the chess board was well described. Well done.
