A wild EVENT has appeared!

LOST: The Fagsona Episode

That's right, folks. You're stranded on a small tropical island (making run-ins more likely), with the remnants of a plane lying on the beach. Your task: Survive. Maybe you'll find other stranded passengers on the shore. Maybe those huge ass coconut crabs remind you of a puzzle, professah. Maybe you'll even fine some sort of time-warping tunnel that'll teleport you right onto the S. S. Enterprise in the jungle - who knows?

Depends on the context.

[Poking around in the pile of sand, Adachi pauses, bending down and picking something up from near his feet. It's a long strip of red cloth, tapered at one end and folded into a point at the other - a tie?]

Huh. I was wondering where this went.

[He brushes the sand off of it, giving it a few good flicks for good measure, before folding it up and slipping it into his pocket. Adachi then glances up at Phoenix, a few feet away.]

Did you find anything?

[For a moment, there's no response - he just keeps rummaging until something glimmering catches his eye. A grin, and he reaches out, picking it up and blowing the sand off of it.]

Sure did.

[Considering the prehistoric age they seemed to be stuck in, there was no way this belonged here. Cavemen didn't have nice watches. (Neither did Phoenix, and judging by looks, neither did the officer.) Only, it's not quite a watch - the display is adorned with buttons rather than numbers and hands. They each have a symbol on them, and there's a small screen with what looks like an egg on displayed on it.]

Weird device.

[Stalking closer for a better look, Adachi's eyebrows raise as he catches sight of it.]

...Tamagotchi?

I think it's some thing el-

[And as he presses a button, a spur-like symbol on it, they go falling - into a strange, vortexing tunnel. Rather colorful too, twisting into itself as they whoosh through. It's actually a rather short fall, but not very gentle. They fall right on a hard ground, surrounding by tall grass.

And for the third time that day, he loses his hat.]

...Ow.

[Phoenix finds himself laying on the grass, and if it wasn't for the fall, it would've been comfy.]

[It would've been comfy if Adachi, lagging a few seconds behind, didn't land right on his middle either, but thanks for that cushion, Phoenix.]

Ack!

[Phoenix's hat comes fluttering down, the last of all to arrive, landing with a woolly flop on the top of Adachi's head, covering his eyes. The ex-detective groans, too out-of-it to understand why everything was dark all of a sudden. Of course, that doesn't mean he can't complain.]

Oww...what's that poking into my ear? I swear, if it's those cavemen again-

[He swats at the piece of grass tickling him.]

[Phoenix just runs a hand over the lower part of his face. This was turning out to be a long day. Worse than that day he got hit by a car, and had a Pink Princess marathon at the hospital. (Which, really, wasn't all that bad.) Maybe as long as days end up being when Apollo is around.]

...Mind getting off me?

[Without responding immediately, Adachi rolls off with a groan. The hat falls onto his lap as he does, and he blinks at his surroundings - a dense plain with high-grass, reaching up to eye level as he sits, and probably just below his hips if he stands. It's a vast field too - the grass rolls in waves as the breeze runs through the area. Not a human soul in sight.]

...'Not in Kansas anymore'?

It could be Kansas. I've never been.

[Phoenix stands up himself, snatching up his hat and patting off the grass. On closer look, some barren looking trees hide what seems to be a small... town, maybe? From afar, it kind of looks like those old western ghost towns. Hey, maybe there's even an old-fashioned bar where he can refill his grape juice.]

Looks like there's something, though.

[Turning in the direction Phoenix is facing, Adachi stands and takes a good look at the town. Ghost town is right - there's no smoke rising from the chimneys, and nothing coming down the road from its direction. That, added to the abandoned, untouched feel of the field they're in only makes him suspicious.

But it isn't as if they have much choice.]

...Worth a try.

[But that isn't as if he's going to let this quick-runner walk him right into some sort of death trap. He waves his hand out in front of him.]

After you.

Such a gentleman.

[He even goes in front with a bounce in his step. Phoenix digs in his pocket, pulling out that 'watch' from before, and fastening it around his wrist. Probably best not to lose it - it seemed to be a teleportation device that could quite possibly lead them back home.]

So, I still don't know your name, officer.

Adachi Tohru.

[Adachi is distracted, which is why he's giving it out so easily - or maybe he's just ceased to see a particular reason to guard it. He turns to Phoenix, pulling his eyes away from the distance he was scanning.]

And you're...

[As they pass those barren trees, Phoenix picks something off of the branch. What a random place for it. He turns to Adachi, cowboy hat on his head. (Yep, on top of his beanie.)]

Forgot already?

[That gets his attention.]

What?

[And no, he's not occasionally glancing up at that cowboy hat. That's just your imagination.]

Sheriff Phoenix Wright.

[Have a tip of the hat and everything there, Adachi.]

[Of course Adachi just thinks he's pulling his leg now. With a huff, he takes a few steps quickly, catching up and yanking that hat off.]

Gimme that.

[Forgetting that he was supposed to be using Phoenix for a shield, he barges into the town. It's abandoned, all right. The ground is parched where road used to be, and even a stereotypical tumbleweed blows past his feet. He gets the chills just standing here. A mumble:]

Great. There isn't even anybody here who can help us.

[Phoenix looks mighty disappointed that you went and took his hat there, pardner.

A shrug, and he waltzes into town right behind Adachi. It's desolate and quiet - only the sound of the wind, and a few windchimes. (Kinda eerie.) There's also a rusty old windvane that creaks now and then.]

We can just use the teleporter thing again.

[Putting the hat on his head (because he's not going to put it on Phoenix's head since the guy already has his hat, and he doesn't want to just drop it anywhere), Adachi slides a hand to his waist. The gun is still there, and the slight weight of the metal in his fingers makes him feel a little better about the uncanny quiet around here.]

You know how to work that th-

[A saloon door creaks. Adachi jumps at least a foot in the air, tripping back into Phoenix.]

Augh!

[Phoenix is calm as ever, even as he almost falls over, a hand landing on top of Adachi's head. Well, the hat, rather, but it keeps it from falling off in any case. His glance raises to the saloon in front of them.]

...Huh. There's no one there.

[Right on cue, a little old, shriveled woman peeks her head out from the door. Adachi, his own hand on the other side of his dashing cowboy hat, stares as she toddles out. "Sh-sherriff? she asks, hopefully.

It takes a few seconds for him to register that she's directing that towards him.]

...Huh? What? Me- oh! No, this is uh, his!

[Yanking the hat off, he shoves it at Phoenix's chest.]

...Oh. Never mind.

[A blink, and Phoenix settles the hat back on his head without so much as an objection. He turns to the old lady, who must have terrible vision if she doesn't see something off about their clothes.]

Sheriff Phoenix Wright at your service. What seems to be the problem, ma'am?

[And he's playing along.]

[Adachi shoots Phoenix an incredulous stare. What a con, he thinks, ironically enough.

The woman twines her hands together, looking nervous. Her eyes dart from side to side, like she's anticipating some sort of ambush any second now. "It's...it's the well, sir. People have been leaving the town since the water supply dried up, and we think there's a demon down there stopping the water from comin' up." She turns her eyes up at them, and the plea is obvious - Please fix it. "We would appreciate it if you and your sidekick could help us out."

Wait a minute.]

H-hey, hold up! Sidekick?

[I dunno, wasn't the prerequisite of being Phoenix Wright's sidekick that you had to be a cute little pre-pubescent girl?]

[Phoenix gives Adachi one of those hearty pats on the shoulder, interrupting before he can add anything else. Adachi is certainly not cute, little, pre-pubescent or a girl, but hey, Phoenix is a flexible guy, and not one to complain.]

No problem, madam. Me and my sidekick here will check it out.

[He tips his hat again.]

[Thus relieved, the little old lady toddles off.

Adachi blinks at the swinging doors for a moment before shrugging Phoenix's hand off.]

I'm not going into a well with you.

[Oh, what, because there are other people he'd go into a well with? Adachi spits out the last word like it's vile and absolutely preposterous.]

Gonna go by yourself? Pretty brave, partner.

[He gives an impressed whistle.]

[Adachi never thought he'd be making this unimpressed face - it's an expression better suited for people like Dojima-san, but there he is, making it.]

I'm not going in at all. Nuh-uh. No way.
