 [Hello, Cruxians! This is your teenage girl speaking. 

The video opens up to show her sitting on one of the many 'benches' through the spaceship's giant hallways, bringing her legs up and arms around them, face almost uncomfortably close to the screen. ]

Hey everyone!

[That tone is already a little too overeager. When it's with a normal person, it's a bit odd, but something somewhat welcoming. However, with an Ace Attorney sidekick, it usually means shenanigans. How prepared are you all for shenanigans?]

Okay so like, I've been wondering something REALLY important since we got here. Yeah, yeah, we all gotta get jobs and help the fleet out.  But -who- is going to keep track of our progress? Like...space progress.

You know, like--

[Her voice clears with a soft 'ahem', sitting up rather straight and dignified.]

"Captain's Log, Day 23." 

[And cue back to normal.]

 

Stuff like that! Any takers? Because if not, I'm supremely disappointed in you. SUPREMELY.

[Oh hi there, Kay.]

Perhaps that is the type of job you'd like to do?

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

[This face. It's like the thought never even occurred to her until just now.]


...Wait. You mean I can do that? I'm not a Captain, though!


It'd just be like...Kay's log!

[hastoburnthis]

Maybe you can.

[Because why not.]

Video

[littlecrowgirl]

...Wait, me?

[It's like the thought never even occurred to her.]

[Video]

[thepoweroflove]

... How much TV do you watch?

[That doesn't answer the question at all, Marty.]

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Uh...normal amount!

[See: what every kid is going to say.]

Now it's my turn for random question! Don't you get hot in that outfit?

audio;

[fuckinstoplights]

... Is it day 23 already?

audio;

[littlecrowgirl]

Hmm? Oh, I don't know.

I just picked a number out of thin air!




...But now I'm curious.

To record of my journeys through the stars, as well as those who I travel with - were it not for my many numerous tasks that I find myself buried deep within that would be something a man of my brilliance would no doubt be able to chronicle with the greatest of detail, leaving no deed untold and no occurrence unsaid!

[... HIS Journeys? Yeah no. Kay, you may want to do everything you can to dissuade this moron. Lord knows that if he tries he'll make it all about him.]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Oh man, these two are already a dangerous duo.]


...Oh I like you. You've got the heroic adventurer's spirit!

Hey, what if I did that for you? Some kind of story time like deal, and I'll keep track of it?

[zouichi]

You want to keep a space diary?

[Star Trek references: ironically, lost on someone from the 31st century.]

My systems make a record of anything important that happens, but it sounds like you want something with more of a narrative.

[littlecrowgirl]

Space Diary...

[Those hands reach up, palms facing outward as her arms move in an arc-like motion. As if the words were right in front of her and she was reading them aloud.]

I like that. Think I can steal that one from you? Because Space Diary is too good to pass up.

...

Yeah, that sounds about right! Something we could like...turn into a movie or something! I've seen it done. All those 'based on a true story' things won't know what hit 'em!

[Video]

[ja307020]

Is this your way of volunteering?

[There are normally disks for that sort of thing, but he lost his and this place doesn't have any. It's mildly distressing, but so is Kay.]

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Well...if no one wants to take this project on, I'm up for it.


You interested, Mr. Tron?

[Video]

[authoritative]

Shouldn't the captains already be keeping logs? I was under the impression that that was part of their ship-board duty.

Though I have to admit, this is a much more... gently run ship than the ones I have studied. Also, much less troll-run. So perhaps they do things differently.

[Equius thoughtfully chews on the end of the random screwdriver he's holding, head tilted thoughtfully. Perhaps he should do a little research, hmm...]

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

I hope so, because I'm gonna want a copy of this whenever our trip is over. There's no way Mr. Edgeworth is gonna believe this unless I have something like that.


And what can I say? I like being right.

[Those moments are so rare, you don't even know.]

...

You have horns.

[Video]

[norefunds]

I don't see any point in starting that stuff up again. It's just an excuse for Star Fleet captains to brag about how their day went.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, what if you got a day to brag about how awesome being a...



whatever it is you do.

[unknowing_user]

But wouldn't this mean we have to vote on a captain to do a captain's log?

[littlecrowgirl]

Good point. We need a nomination box or something.


[Kay, you're talking like this is already a thing.]

[Voice]

[crux_npcs]

Ensign Navarro here.

As far as I know, the Captains keep their own logs. I mean, if you want to keep your Space Adventure Diary, that's your thing, but they don't usually make theirs public. Unless you want to read day after day of "Sat down. Watched the stars for ten hours. Managed not to fall asleep."

[Voice]

[littlecrowgirl]

Hey, don't under-appreciate the casual-captain's-log.

They're like...the filler episodes of a show!



Except like...in real life.

[Logic.]

[video]

[edify]

If the network already records everything [he's pretty sure it's not in pink ink], I think that would be quite a log.

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Don't tempt fate, Obi-wan.]

Well yeah...but it would go off on tangents and be really distracting. You need a solid narrative--someone to take it by the reins and get us from Point A to Point Z!

A journey! A hero's destiny! Action! Adventure!

Hit the beach!

[Video]

[dragonspooker]

[Lina groans, then rolls her eyes before sighing at this kid.]

You don't just bring a bard along expecting amazing things to happen for them to make songs and stories about, that's just not how it works! That's a surefire way to set your adventure up to be totally disappointing!

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

...





I'm gonna be honest here. I didn't understand a word of what you said.


I mean, we're in space! How are amazing things NOT gonna happen?

[Video]

[tinywife]

Hi Kay!

[Have a waving Pinoko, Kay! She's missed you!]

I don't know why you couldn't keep your own logs. Pinoko is pretty sure that people around the fleet would keep their own logs anyway, but I'm pretty sure that they have better things to do than keep track of what we're all doing every moment of every day.

[At least she certainly hoped so!]

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Hey! Long time no talk, Pinoko! There's a wave in return as well.]

We should have like...some kind of collaboration! So we can take something home with us...whenever that happens.

[video]

[blight_phoenix]

Wait, so you're a captain? And here I thought the concept of children serving as officers was just a rumor people started about Atlas Corp to discredit them.

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Me? No, no. The ways of spaceships aren't my calling. That was just an example!


But I -could- do 'Great Thief's Log'. Doesn't roll quite as easily as 'Captain', though...

[video]

[mookwarrior]

uhhh, what?

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Hey, you're the guy with the desk job!

[A great thing to remember him by...]

So whattya say? Epic Log of Galactic Proportions?
