I.
Juniper and Professor Courte meet at the teacher’s room to go over some preliminary details regarding the mock trial and school festival.
The professor tells her that she’s just sent her emails inviting both Phoenix Wright and Klavier Gavin as their esteemed guests for the event, fingers crossed.
Juniper can definitely understand Mr Wright as a choice, with his notoriety in the legal world and his recent–quite bizarre–return. His office is also located not too far from the school, so transportation or anything like that shouldn’t be much of a problem to him.
Prosecutor Gavin strikes her as an interesting choice, though. Mr Wright is well-known to the legal world, but Prosecutor Gavin is well-known to practically the entire world. She’s acquainted enough with his band, the Gavinners, and even if they’ve broken up, she can’t imagine that he has all the time in the world to come to some law academy’s school festival.
Professor Courte apparently catches all this pondering from just Juniper’s face, somehow, addressing her with a small smile.
She enlightens Juniper with the reason she thinks there’s a high probability that he’ll say yes: he happens to be an alumni of the academy.
This is news to Juniper. So is the fact that he was the one to start the tradition of a festival and performances alongside their mock trial in the first place. She’s grateful for the history lesson.
As such, It would be nice to have him back, Professor Courte concludes. For the trial and the performance.
And here she smiles so warmly at the thought that Juniper thinks he, a prosecutor course alumni, must have some sort of personal connection to her professor, the head of the judge course.
She can’t imagine what that might be. But she has high hopes now, for the (self-proclaimed) “rockstar prosecutor” Klavier Gavin. Anyone who can catch the attention of Professor Constance Courte like this must have been an excellent student while at school, and must be quite successful in their career in the present.
It might be nice to get to know him. Juniper is excited now to make small talk with him while escorting him around the school–if he says yes, that is.
For now, her meeting with the professor is over, and she needs to get going and outline her plan to gather and create all the evidence she needs for her mock trial script.
II.
Klavier receives an email notification while sitting at his desk, after just having gotten back from his lunch break. He stifles a bit of a chuckle at his phone, impressed with how someone’s managed to get ahold of his personal email to ask him to do a gig, presumably.
His smirk drops when he taps on the notification and gets a clear view of the sender, though.
Professor Constance Courte… his old mentor…
He skims over the email that his mentor sent him, and realises that she’s asking him for quite a lot, really. A lecture, a mock trial, a seminar, and a performance? It’ll be a lot on his plate if he chooses to accept the invitation.
But what kind of protege would he be if he didn’t? Klavier couldn’t be more honored that his alma mater is willing to put this much trust in him. Not to mention, he’ll definitely get to showcase both the “rockstar” and “prosecutor” parts of his (self-proclaimed) title to the current active students. It’s as good an opportunity as any.
He pulls up the email on his computer now to read it over again, catch any details before he starts typing a response. He reels in one that piques his interest; A student representative will be chosen to sing alongside you.
What a great proposition. Him, an alumnus, being on stage with a student, a junior, a possible future successor…
(“Rockstar prosecutor” the second? Or maybe “rockstar lawyer”? “Rockstar judge”?)
Either way, he’s excited now to accept the invite and start preparing for this whole ordeal. How grateful he is that Professor Courte still remembers him, and reached out to him to offer him this wonderful opportunity to take a trip down memory lane.
He wonders how they will choose the student representative, and who will be chosen. He wonders how he could make a good impression on them too, whoever they’ll be. Possible future successor and all.
He really should prepare his small talk topics for if it isn’t a prosecutor course student. Well, he can do that after he gets more details, and that will only happen after he replies to the email with a resounding yes (and a tremendous amount of thanks to the professor).
