Pretty much everyone agrees that it'd be fun for a case where Apollo defends Klavier, as a parallel to 1-4, and giving Klavier closure and development

It's a classic, however, consider flipping it, just for fun. After AA4, Apollo gets arrested, and the only person he trusts enough to help him is Klavier, because he doesn't trust anyone really, and the closest person he knows to a defense lawyer is Phoenix, who he has a,,,, rocky relationship with, and who is still disbarred. There's a bit of a parallel with 3-5, where Phoenix asks Edgeworth to take his place in court, it fits with the 1-4 parallel, and it matches with Apollos trust issues.

Trucys could still be a weird girl, we'd inevitably get interactions with Phoenix, and we'd get to see the difference between Klaviers inner monologues and his mask.

#and idk maybe the prosecutor could be edgeworth because he has also broken the rules and shown up on the wrong side of the courtroom #and maybe trucy and apollo find out about thalassa #it wouldnt fit well with aa5-6 but who cares #idk itd be a wacky little adventure that if done right could provide closure #i think i like the classic 'apollo defends klav' better but y'know #ace attorney #aa #aa4 spoliers #Apollo Justice #klavier gavin

oh yeah i hate this btw. lmao:

#so she didnt know phoenix had a daughter but she knew kristoph well enough to imitate his voice and parallel his sprites? #cool cool cool aha *explodes* #ema skye #kristoph gavin #ace attorney apollo justice #it's the. implications of it. the idea that phoenix wasnt talking to her and she got assigned to the prosecutor who took him down #and then she has to work with /another/ gavin but this one is. nice. strange maybe but nice. #and the only other person around who seems to fully be on phoenix's side. his one real ally aside from her and one he actually talks to. #her relationship with apollo shows that she's willing to cooperate with DAs so long as they're connected to phoenix and kristoph was #so she probably had no qualms helping him. i wonder how much info about him he got from her and how much he used her #all while exchanging them for little hints about how phoenix was doing and what he was doing and if he was all right #i wonder if she passed the pin phoenix wears in his beanie through kristoph. just to remind him she was still there if he ever needed her #aa4 explain ANYTHING about kristoph challenge (impossible) #im pretty sure she got it from him too? no one else around her really crosses their arms like that. #phoenix doesnt klavier doesnt lana definitely doesnt... mayyyyybe edgeworth? but he tends to tuck his left hand under which is opposite #and the way she folds her arms in the investigation games is different. there she DOES tuck her left hand out of sight like edgeworth #so it's like she did imitate him a little at one point and kristoph somehow overwrote that. like he overwrites miles's place in nick's life #ahaaaa anyway im so normal about them

[blueskittlesart]

i am an athena cykes defender forever and ever until the day i die but god. somewhere out there there is a universe where apollo justice got actual follow through and it kills me that i am not living in it

#sorry. i am replaying apollo justice. and it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. #kills me that we never get any real answers about kristoph obv but its not even just that #klavier as a rival was so interesting. because hes basically already at the state that you're trying to get all the other prosecutors in th #series to in terms of winning vs truth. hes really well rounded as a prosecutor in a way that you as the player arent used to #and that was an interesting departure from the formula for aa in general but then they slapped him with a whole DIFFERENT problem #with kristoph and phoenix. and then they just. do not resolve it whatsoever. #even though apollo is literally right there as a perfect little avenue for resolution. and i KNOW that they WOULD HAVE resolved it #if only they would have MADE THE SECOND GODDAMN GAME #PLUS the secondary conflict of systemic injustice within the system and phoenix's role in that. TRUCY. #god fuck ace attorney why are you so good and so bad at the same time #what we really should have gotten is an apollo justice duology and THEN an athena cykes solo game #where apollo shows up exclusively as a background character and athena actually gets to be the playable attorney in more than 2 cases. #ugh. whatever #personal

[astrohaterz]

hi lawyer fans here is something from awhile ago involving a fancase i was working on for an alternate post-7yrs timeline. i will put a cut here because i dont know how interesting it is to anyone else <3

basically the gavinners were in the middle of working on a steel samurai musical that has had nothing but trouble befall it and that was all BEFORE daryan’s arrest. sad for them. but good for miles! because he has spent the last 7 years working on a bill regarding prison reform after his adventures in aai2 instead of doing whatever it is the post-aa4 retcon canon is. he’s been trying to get klavier to use his star power to sponsor it but the problem is that klavier has no interest in reforming anything. (especially since he’s very image conscious and he feels like sponsoring a prison reform bill after his brother has been even more thoroughly imprisoned+sentenced to death? whatever happens to him? (however bills like this work? i am not versed in law) would make it look like he was only doing it for his brother. don’t be mistaken, though. he is in a police-themed band that has police recruitment posters in their dressing room. he does not need any persuasion to be Tough On Crime)

however now that daryan’s arrest has revealed Some Trouble Afoot In The Criminal Justice System on top of the very bad steel samurai musical, klavier is desperate for a good bit of PR to give him control over the situation again and phoenix (stagehand on the steel samurai musical in his spare time. he is a theatre guy! he’s gotta do something! it can’t all be nights at the inventory and practicing your mysterious beanie-shadowed faces in the mirror) has arranged for him and miles to talk this out and klavier can put up a nice instagram photo showing he has talked to at least one person about Making Things Better Somehow to put his fans at ease again. all that has to happen is for miles to absolutely not go berserk about how bad the steel samurai musical is. you’ll never believe what happens next!

#digital #sketch #is that a tag i have? apparently it is? well ill use it i suppose! #not tagging this because it is just kind of a fun thing i have fun thinking about. #klavier's catchphrase is the name of a u2 album and u2 were involved in spiderman turn off the dark so thats kind of #where im at. theres a lot more to it i was kind of developing it in my free time but really im not a writer #and its just more a collection of notes and doodles that i rotate in my head sometimes. for fun #a world where the aa games come to conclusions that arent just 'well put the right people in power and it will be fine' #the thing about--this is fun. this is my art blog so you havent seen how i feel about aa's politics as much. thats so fun. i hate them a bit #drives me up a wall. do not be mistaken though i love analyzing it like this i love thinking about it this deeply its fun to me sincerely #if you read all that thanks for doing that. sorry if its muddled also. like i said im not a writer just someone who feels strongly. #i dont have much new to share so ive just been posting older things sorry </3 hopefully this is Something #you know. well! thanks for your time (powerpoint slide animation that reveals im no longer here)

see i dunno if i have the art skills TM to draw all my alters like. in general. but now that i think about it maybe i’m able to draw our eyes :O bc everyone in our system has diff eyes and eye shapes too and i think im decent at drawing those!!! :D

#nightmare.system #this is inspired b/c one of the ways we can tell fronts is by physical trait differences right #well some of us don't like looking in the mirror to tell that because it makes us uncomfortable #so the way that we know if klavier is close to front is if we can feel really bright blue eyes. like if we feel like we have those #which has made me think. what about everyone else's eyes? #i know mine & klav's exactly. i know the shape of dahlia's but i can't tell the color. rory and nightshade not sure #could be fun though! ooh maybe i do it while i watch peggle :D

[readymades2002]

finding it interesting that so many people interpret the gavinners as a boy band...i’m not at all invested in the gavinners but they 100% read as like, u2 to me. people taking klav’s position in a band to go “i’m going to examine music fandom and the detachment of self an idol might have” is...well its not BAD i think there’s interesting things to say with that but to be fully honest i just do not see klav or the gavinners as being the vehicle for that conversation at all given that the gavinners barely exist and also, again, whether you want to chalk it up to the passage of time changing how he’s read or not, his catchphrase is taken from a u2 album title and the way he’s described and his band operates (the affected accent, the lipstick, the way it is a rock band and not a boy band) reads much more like...idk. its a lot more oasis than boy band to me

#its because people want to connect to klavier and find it easier to do through this lens. i know that #maybe i read the run off the dark book too much but the idea of klav as someone who is like #going on stage giving these speeches going 'coexist <3' while in his personal life shunning people for plugging in the wrong amp #something about it feels more like him than just going 'well he's an idol'. i dont understand that at all #he is performing constantly yeah and i suppose the idol idea dovetails with that nicely but also #there are more types of dynamics and characters than just ones you personally find relatable i guess? #klav more than any other character ive seen feels like he's being used as a kind of projection screen and its. well! #i don't understand it. to say the least #i think he's an interesting character for sure but interpretation of him seems a lot more like #'haha blonde bi b*mbo guy with emotional issues' and 1) LOADED thing for a bi character and he is pretty canonically bi #and 2) its just not right...it just isnt..... #turnabout autism

[u3pxx]

thinking about my gavin parents earlier. specifically, karsten gavin and the way he loves klavier.

HI SORRY. and sorry for any mistakes on the german, google translate can only take me so far DFGHDJFDGHD this was my original thought earlier that i typed into my pc during class DSFGHD

Karsten shows affection the only way he knows how (buying expensive lavish gifts) Karsten, being an absent father in many ways, doesn't pay much attention to his children's interests. Klavier becomes interested in music and wants a guitar for Christmas, he mentions this several times to Karsten as he works, over dinner, every moment he can get, really. Karsten and Karen have a fight 2 weeks before Christmas that leaves them very cold towards each other, Karin throws herself into social events/parties while Karsten flies to another place to focus on his work. The fight and their absence affect Klavier deeply, more than Kristoph who is growing more used to this. Karsten gifts Klavier an expensive piano, Klavier is disappointed and his face starts to show it. Karsten grows frustrated at this and starts to ramble “Music, right, liebchen? Didn’t you say you wanted to play?” “Well, ja, but… I wanted a…” Karsten starts frowning. “Klavier, do you have any idea how expensive this is? You don’t like it? Fine then, fine. Do you want me to throw my gift away for you, is that it?” “Of course not, papa. Klavier, what do we say?” Kristoph chimes in and nudges Klavier, whose eyes are starting to water. “[Thank you, father.]” “Oh there he is. Come, come.”

i just. thinking about piece of shit extraordinaire karsten gavin who only knows how to make problems go away with material things

i love drawing bc it compensates for the fact that i can't write DFGHDJ

Ranking the Ace Attorney main cast on whether or not I think they'd be a narc

I was making a more coherent, serious post about the different approaches to justice each of the characters have and how that is shaped by their backstory... and then I realized a funnier question is what they would do if they saw you eating a weed brownie so I made this post instead

Phoenix: In the trilogy era, yes. He trusts people, but believes that trust has to be built on pursuing justice and always accepting the harsh reality. He'd be sad about it, but a narc nonetheless. In his Beanix era he's making his money through "totally legal gambling" and on the hunt for questionably legal evidence so I have no doubt in my mind there's a pot farm under the WAA for supplemental income. He gives up his narc ways and for that I salute him

Apollo: If I were to pick a single member of this cast who is NOT invited to the rotation it would be him. He had zero hesitation throwing Kristoph to the wolves after working for him for years so I know he has absolutely zero qualms about ratting out his friends or coworkers. Loyalty means nothing in the eyes of justice and it means nothing to him. He's a narc.

Athena: She's gonna lecture you and look all sad about it, but she's no snitch. She's been through the rounds with Simon so she gets it. Having to know you hurt her feelings is enough of a punishment in her eyes

Edgeworth: He's not a narc but he IS obsessed with being right, so if you don't immediately fess up with exactly what you're doing he's going to send your stoned ass to the chess dimension and honestly I think that's worse

Franziska: Unfortunately she is a cop. Narc.

Godot: Diego-era yeah he's a narc, but after the coma? I feel like he has better things to worry about, he would just ignore you. He has some soul searching to do and some grief complexes to unlearn he doesn't have the time to be a lil snitch. Post prison I think he's stoned somewhere in Kurain and chillaxing, as is his right

Klavier: Don't let his rockstar attitude fool you he's a narc and extremely annoying about it. The gavinners tour bus is dry as hell and it's all Klavier's fault. Daryan offers him a line and he gets all uppity and says "the only LINE i want you doing is the third line in the prechorus, you keep messing up the syncopation" and that's the end of that discussion

Simon: He's been in prison so he knows what's up. Not a narc. Might glare at you until you share though

Nahyuta: He's a narc and will lecture you so long about it you're tempted to turn yourself in to get out of earshot. He also never forgets and never forgives. Datz is trying to reform him but it isn't going well

Sebastian: Yes, but I think the idea of him having to turn in someone for it would make him cry so they end up comforting him instead. Kay thinks he needs to try a weed brownie

Maya: I want you to look at me and tell me she doesn't smoke weed. Not a narc

Pearl: I think if she found out that her big sister figure smoked weed she would have a heart attack. Def a narc

Trucy: I can say with absolute certainty that if you really wanted weed she could find you a dealer faster than anyone in the cast. Trucy is a magician and has grown up around a variety of people involved with some seedier institutions, she knows better than to snitch. Has not been and will never be a narc

Kay: Will help you shoplift. Not a narc

Gumshoe: A narc on principle, but would feel really bad about it and would probably let you off with a warning if you started crying or acting upset because I think he's a softie. He's not unreasonable

Ema: If you think she has even the tiniest sliver of respect for cops you're lying to yourself. Not a narc and will actively help you evade police out of principle. A homie, honestly

Fulbright: Not only is he a narc but he definitely runs the DARE program at the local highschool and is printed on half the posters they put up in the precinct. I'm also like 80% sure he doesn't actually know how weed works

bff brunch gossip

ID under the cut

[ID: A seven-panel comic with flat colors. It shows a scene between Apollo Justice and Clay Terran from Ace Attorney, chatting with each other in a café. The walls of the café are light green, with light brown wooden booths, grey-brown seat cushions, and brown flooring. The tables are a darker brown wood and have blue vases with white and red flowers at each. There are paintings on the wall behind Apollo and Clay, who are sitting across from each other. Both have a white mug of coffee. Apollo is wearing blue jeans and a red v-neck shirt, while Clay wears a light blue overshirt over a grey shirt, khaki shorts, his black GYAXA visor, and black fingerless gloves. Panel 1: A full-body shot of Apollo and Clay, their booth, and the surrounding booths at the café. Both are leaning forward to rest their elbows on the table. Apollo has his arms crossed in front of him, and says, “So Klavier’s been talking about getting a cat.” Clay, holding his mug and propping his chin up with his other hand, replies, “Oh, really? Cool!” Panel 2: A shot of Apollo from the waist up, across the table. He glances to the side with an expression of minor embarrassment, blushing slightly. He says, “yeah, well. the thing is, I’m like…” Panel 3: Apollo leans forward, now looking at Clay and blushing more strongly as he finishes, “80% sure he’s trying to bait me into moving in??” He looks slightly aggravated. He gestures vaguely with one hand. Out-of-frame, Clay goes, “OHHH.” Panel 4: A shot of Clay from the waist up, across the table. He is leaning back in his seat, elbows still on the table, as he holds the hand that was on his chin half in front of his mouth to hide his smile. His eyebrows are raised. He says, “you think he’s hinting he wants YOUR cat around 24/7.” Apollo replies, “Right.” Clay says, “Aww, cute!” Panel 5: A waist-up shot of Clay and Apollo facing each other across the table. Apollo leans forward, elbows still on the table as he rubs the back of his neck and one of his cheeks, sheepish and blushing, but smiling with his eyes closed. He says, “Cute. Sure.” Clay also leans forward toward him, dropping his hand from his face as he says, “I mean, you’re gonna do it, yeah?” Apollo says, “yeah, yeah. it’s just…” Panel 6: A shot of Apollo from waist up, across the table. He gestures with one hand and has his chin propped on the other, half-hiding his own smile. He is still blushing. He asks, “morally speaking, would it be wrong to call his bluff,” Panel 7: A shot of Clay and Apollo, looking from behind Apollo’s shoulder to Clay across from him. Apollo, grinning, finishes, “and not move in until after he gets another—“ Clay erupts into laughter, banging on the table with one hand. Apollo says, “Clay—Clay I’m serious!!” /End ID]

Ok so basically I think Daphne Blake (of Scooby Doo fame) should have a minor in fashion design and a major in Law. She's studying to be an attorney

#rando thoughtz #this is from an in depth convo with my friends (one being a fellow scooby enjoyer) abt how we would approach a modern scooby doo reboot #and were like. 1) lets make them college students thats way better than having them be high school students #and we're like well of course Daphne would study fashion #but my brain was like ''ok. so shes klavier g core what if . she studied law'' #if he can be a rockstar and a prosecutor SHE can be a fashion designer and attorney. both at the same time #i know this makes her v similar to elle woods and i would not be lying that i was thinking of her during this moment #but the key differences between them are deffo there #like for one daphne is doing both law and fashion (and didnt rlly need convincing to go for law she was already into it from the start) #and other thing daphne is more jock in comparison she is A Biker and very athletic. she does martial arts #AND third which i think is most important is that daphne is more of a mean girl #BUT I NEED TO BE SPECIFIC ON THIS #elle tends to be much more nice and kind even when shes playing dumb #Daphne does not do that #shes a lot more visibly assertive and tends to snap at ppl if she feels its right to #and when she plays dumb she's more goading abt it like #shes not like ''oh! haha is this low viscosity rayon? And top loop stitching?'' #NO daphne is like Daphne is ''Low viscosity nylon? I won't accept anything less. It also has the top loop stitching of course?'' #like literally baiting them more just to go ''lol syke i played you for a FOOL'' #she is more mean about it #BUT do not get her wrong she is actually a nice person & very good friend #its just she does not have mercy if u face her as an opponent #and thats why daphne is the ace attorn- #oh my god i also forgot to mention the importance of her being in law shes the one that knows all the legal shit for ghe Mystery gang #she knows all the legal parameters. invaluable knowledge for the team

[ind1c0lite]

(Basic context is that AU of Duel Desinties where the phantom impersonates Phoenix to get him found guilty of Clay's murder, I talk more under the cut abt it jkhlj)

-Basically meant to be a parallel to turnabout trump, cause if you can have ONE boss get found guilty of murder, why not a second one?

-OK basically: everything in DD happens normally until like- a day before clays murder, Phoenix gets yoinked by the phantom somehow (he is still alive, just being held captive), Phantom is still Fulbright, but they've decided to be silly goofy (target Phoenix and get him found guilty of murder, escape police custody and then murder phoenix and make it seem like Phoenix accidentally died while on the run, thats why they didn't kill phoenix right away unlike the real Fulbright) there is an imposter amo-

-I dont have the logistics as to how this affects solving Metis's murder, and how it effects what evidence is used n whatnot and turnabout for tomorrow as a whole, so im just going nuts HGJKHLJ

-Originally I was actually imagining this taking place during turnabout for tomorrow and I wanted that case to be apollo v klavier instead of phoenix and edgeworth and thats why klav is in here instead of Simon (I decided that Simon got badly injured and couldn't stand in court for the retrial, so klavier was asked to step in)

-The courtroom bombing still happens the same way it does normally, but Apollo decides to take up the case again instead of taking a leave, instead of like, you know, healing from the traumatic event that just happened, turnabout countdown still happens as well

-Apollo and Athena do not find out about the phantom's existence until well after this trial, so they have no idea that Phoenix could've possibly been replaced, though simon, after hearing about the trial, might be suspicious about whether or not that was the real Phoenix

-The Phantom had been not only keeping an eye on Simon for a while, but was also stalking Phoenix and Edgeworth after they both started looking into UR-1, so they were able to impersonate phoenix so well that not even his own daughter thought that anything was up (though while Trucy did find him a *little* bit off, but she figured that it might've been the bombing that caused him to act ever so slightly weird, so she didn't pay much mind to it until she heard about his confession in court and realized it might've been because he possibly, ya know, killed someone)

-it's pretty much just switching Athena being framed for murder with Phoenix, and instead of the trial ending on a cliffhanger, it continues on (probably with Klavier insisting on it) ending with soloman being found innocent and Phoenix being declared guilty

-There's a couple days inbetween the end of the cosmic turnabout and the start of turnabout for tomorrow, so Athena, Apollo and Trucy all get a little bit to process the fact that "oh god my boss/my dad killed someone" (simons execution date is pushed back a bit in this au) and they probably get to talk with Klavier and eventually a lil bit with Simon after he gets out

-Im not sure how it all winds down in turnabout for tomorrow (Phoenix escaping and being at large is basically the perfect cover for the phantom to resume being fulbright for that trial) but they do eventually realize that the phoenix who confessed wasn't the real one and now there's a search on going to find out where the real one is being held captive, hes fineeee just ready to take a week long nap and a good vacation (along with every other waa member)

-I dont have anything else to add on rn but if you want to add something or just throw in a scenario feel free to!! this idea has been bouncing around my head for like a month now and Im very happy to finally show yall it

[4ragon]

maybe a klapollo fluffy thing in which Klavier is afraid of meeting Mikeko bc he's heard that cat is a MENACE to anyone but Apollo and Mikeko just... Instantly likes him and bonds with him and that makes Apollo fall in love with Klavier even more (klav is part disney princess don't @ me)

“Alright, and you’re wearing long sleeves, right? I don’t want him scratching up your arms or anything.”

“Ja, for the last time, I am wearing a jacket.”

“And long pants, right? You’re wearing jeans?”

“Nein I thought I’d try cutoffs today, they go so well with my yes I’m wearing jeans.”

“Okay, and if he tries to make a break for it, just, do not let him through the door under any circumstances, alright—”

“Herr Forehead, please, I’m already nervous enough as it is,” Klavier shot back, knuckles white around the phone. “Just…I’ll call you back if anything happens, alright?”

“Right. Okay. Good. Great. Thanks, Klav.” There was a loud bang, and some shouting in the background, and Apollo cursed. “Stupid—whatever! I’ll be there in like an hour. Or two hours. Some amount of hours.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Klavier said. The elevator dinged, and he was on Apollo’s floor. “I’ll make sure Herr Kätzchen doesn’t starve while you’re in transit.”

“Thanks. Alright, bye.”

“Tschüss.” And with that, Apollo was gone.

Leaving Klavier standing outside Apollo’s flimsy apartment door.

Klavier took a breath. Alright. It was just one cat. He could do this, right? He was already supposed to be heading to Apollo’s place today; now he was just flying solo. Not the end of the world.

Klavier fiddled with the new key on his keyring for a second, before finally slipping it into the lock. He unlocked the door slowly, and then, in one fluid motion, he pulled the door open a crack and slipped inside.

Immediately, the cat that was trying to squeeze out into the hallway sprinted away.

“Ach! Sorry, Herr Kätzchen,” Klavier said, quickly locking the door behind him. “Didn’t mean to startle you.”

No cat. Klavier glanced around. Well, no disaster so far. “Herr Kätzchen?” he tried, not expecting much. And then, with a shrug, he turned toward the kitchen.

Apollo had warned him this would happen. Mikeko was a bit shy, after all. Or, well, maybe the words had been ‘a complete bastard’ but Klavier decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. No scratching and hissing so far, so that was probably a win.

Klavier strode over to Apollo’s tiny kitchenette. Now, it wasn’t as if the place was very big, there weren’t many places the cat food could be hiding. It took a moment, but finally, Klavier found it on a bottom shelf. He swiped up the bag, turning.

There was a pair of eyes staring at him from part way out from under the couch.

Klavier froze. The cat froze. They stared at each other.

Admittedly, Klavier was a dog person, and had been for a long time. It wasn’t that he didn’t like cats, he just grew up around dogs. He knew dogs. He knew what noises and gestures a dog would make before snapping at his hands. Cats, however, were a mystery.

Said mystery just continued to stare at him. “H-Hallo, Kätzchen,” Klavier greeted, striding over toward the empty food bowl as he shook the bag of food. “Unfortunately, your normal chef is stuck in traffic on the other side of town. Hopefully I’ll do just as good of a job, ja?”

The cat crept closer as Klavier began to fill the bowl, before scurrying over as Klavier straightened up.

“There we go. Hopefully that’s enough.”

The cat ate quickly as Klavier returned the bag to its shelf. Then he sighed, cracking his back and making his way over toward the ratty couch in the middle of the room.

They were supposed to have a date night tonight, but Klavier had a feeling they would just order takeout when Apollo finally got there. Not the worst night he could’ve imagined.

A small mewl at his feet, and Klavier jumped, head snapping down. The cat was looking up at him with big eyes. Klavier froze. Was that good? Bad? Threatening? Friendly. “Kätzchen,” he greeted cautiously.

The cat mewled again.

Klavier glanced around. Was it trying to tell him something? Did he want Klavier to give him more food? Maybe he should let the cat smell his hand, that was what you did for dogs, right? “Do you need something, mein freund?” he asked, carefully holding out his hand.

The cat paused, sniffing Klavier’s hand. And then the cat lunged forward, rubbing its entire face against Klavier’s hand and making a low, rumbling sound.

Klavier froze.

“Okay, I’m home!” The door slammed shut behind Apollo as he sighed, hair drooping. “Can’t believe I had to pay for an uber in this mess. I swear, when I fix my bike chain—” And then he froze.

Klavier looked up at him, a look of wonder and panic on his face. Mikeko sat directly on Klavier’s chest, curled up and purring. “Herr Forehead is this good or bad?” he asked weakly.

“How did—wh—” Apollo gaped, mouth opening and closing. “...you little bastard, why the hell do you never want to cuddle me like that?!”

“...the cat or me?”

“Shut it.”
