May 6th, 2012

It looks like there are more of us coming in again... And some of us leaving, as always. So I'd like to welcome any new Newcomers to Siren's Port. I'm Phoenix Wright, and I'm a defense attorney. Let me assure you all... This place is crazy, but you'll find something to do and some way to make it. If you need assistance, there are people who'll help -- including Wright & Co., if it, um, happens to take an unfortunate turn.

(Well, that's it. But I never really knew how to end speeches... Or rather, someone else usually capped them with a spectacular breakdown or something... Guess I'd better just turn off the feed.)

- The Reawakening of Wakerose
The Siren’s Port Historical Society announced Sunday the reopening of the famous Wakerose Manor. Located near the ocean in a beautiful cove just west of Crow’s Head Beach in Sector 5, the old and storied landmark has been fully restored and is set to reopen as the Wakerose Manor Museum. Before its restoration, no one had set foot in the manor for over 50 years.

“I’m pleased to be able to welcome the public once more to this beautiful and historic mansion,” said Susan Martin of the SPHS. “Our team of experts has worked to carefully reproduce the interior and restore the mansion grounds to what they looked like in their prime. The Wakerose Manor Museum will be an exciting chance for everyone to see what life was like for the Port elite one hundred years ago!”

About 100 years ago, the manor belonged to the Blakely family, one of the city’s most influential and famous. Most famous of the Blakelys was Willow Blakely, whose tragic love affair with the pirate Redblade is one of the Port’s most popular old legends. Willow’s story was immortalized (and fictionalized) in the best-selling romance novel By the Bloodied Ties of Her Corset, though Martin invites fans of the legend to come see the museum and see the truth about the legend.

“We all have heard about the tragedy of Willow Blakely, of course, how she fell in love with the pirate Redblade and leapt from the bluff outside the manor when she heard news of his capture. I assure you the real historical facts of the Blakely family’s downfall are much more interesting than that, though not quite as sordid,” said Martin. “The scene with the handcuffs, for instance... purely artistic license.”

There will be a reception at the museum 6:00 Sunday evening and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Everyone is welcome to attend, and all those in attendance will receive a free souvenir and a season pass to the museum.

I'm looking for a girl named Katniss Everdeen. If anyone has seen her around here, I'd like to know. It's important. I heard some things from the girl at the field, but it would be useful to hear any information about this place that other people know. Are there really many people who haven't heard of Panem? And if it's true that I could be here a while, I should find somewhere to work. If there's a bakery out there hiring, I've spent most of my life practically standing inside an oven. Cakes, cookies, muffins, anything. Decorating too, and exquisite people skills, or so I've been told.

[ Today Beato has one question, and one alone for those to reply to! She has business intentions, and ones that she will get to should the answers suffice ]

Even a mere lower class demon has something that it can claim to be skilled with. So tell me, Siren's Port-- just what talents do you hold? Unless there is nothing. However, if that is the case, how sad, how uninteresting! You will not even be able to be compared with Goats!

[ Nathan has found himself a shirt and tie, and feels a lot more like himself than he did when he arrived. He's set the NV up very carefully, framing himself against a backdrop of the city, as though he's making a political broadcast. The clear afternoon sunlight glances from a beautifully blue ocean behind the tallest of Siren's Port's buildings. ]

Reckon I've got this thing all figured out now. I understand I'm addressing all Newcomers, but I don't know how to narrow this down so I'm just talking to people who've been here longer than I have--sorry about that.

My name is Nathan Petrelli--that's Senator Petrelli. I've got a background in politics, formerly law; I was an ADA. Before that I spent some time as a pilot for the US Navy. Figure that over-qualifies me for a job down at Costco.

To that end I'm looking for someone called Raul Creed, or anyone else who can tell me about the Newcomer Political Party. Also, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on getting back into law. Reckon all those years of study have got to qualify me for something. I'll settle for anything gets me out of this rat-hole.

[ It's always a shocker when your metabolism slows, particularly when you're a Death God. Grell has been rail-thin his entire existence; but an unfortunate combination of a sedentary lifestyle (he had previously been reaping souls for a living) and a massive bout of Gluttony has left him with…

Well. You know how skinny guys, when they gain weight, stay skinny everywhere except… ]

The man of my dreams proposes, and I look like THIS~! I can't walk down the aisle looking like a pregnant bride!

Ah cruel, cruel fate!

[ His strategy, thus far, has been to stop eating entirely, subsisting on a diet of coffee and breath mints. Unsurprisingly, this has had little effect on his physique. Thus in a fit of pique, desperation, and caffeine-induced bad judgement, he is appealing to the Network: ]

How d'you lose weight in a hurry? I'll try anything!

[ And yes, this is how Grell is announcing his engagement! ]

[Live, from prison, it's Wolf! And he looks like hell!

Well, last night was the full moon, after all. The supermoon, even. So the poor little half-wolf spent the night thrashing around his cell, yelling and breaking things. The prison guard were nice enough to give him a chew rope, which he shredded to pieces and is lying all over the room... including some in Wolf's hair.]

Tomorrow is my trial. My murder trial for the murder I didn't commit.

[He lets out a weak sob and then looks up at the camera, clearing his throat. His voice is immediately collected, and he pulls out something written on a sheet of toilet paper.]

But... in the interest of settling my affairs-- I, Warren J. Wolfson, hereby do declare this my last will and testament.

All of my property, the apartment I rent and the furniture within I hereby leave to... [He swallows.] My landlord, who owns it all anyway.

All of the food in the refrigerator, I leave to the Stuck Pig, the finest barbecue restaurant in town. May something delicious be made of the tasty treats I never got to try!

And all of my suits, I hereby leave to... to anyone who can fit into them and looks good in them. Mr. Edgeworth, maybe? All yours! Take your pick! I... I had them tailooorrrrrrhrrhrrhrrhrhrrrrrrd!

[He lets out a mournful howl, then wipes his eyes.]

Ohhh, where are they with my last meal? I requested a last meal but the guard just rolled his eyes at me! YOU CALL THAT SERVICE?!

[In his fit, he shuts off the NV.]
