[SCENE START] INT. WRIGHT ANYTHING AGENCY - DAY A pile of case files sits neglected on PHOENIX WRIGHT's desk. Instead, he's engrossed in his Nintendo Switch, a determined look on his face. Around him, the rest of the gang lounge on mismatched furniture, their attention equally captivated. PHOENIX: (clicking furiously) Gah! This constellation is trickier than a case with a surprise witness! MAYA: (peering over his shoulder) Maybe you need a little channeling to connect those stars, Nick! MIA: (leaning in next to Maya) Or perhaps you should try a different approach, Phoenix. Remember, the truth always lies hidden in plain sight. PEARL: (tugging on Mia's sleeve) What's that, Miss Mia? It looks pretty! MIA: (smiling) It's a puzzle game, Pearl. We're trying to make pictures with the stars. GUMSHOE: (munching on a burger) Yeah, it's pretty chill, pal. Reminds me of staking out a suspect, only with less rain and more sparkles. EDGEWORTH: (sipping tea) I find the minimalist aesthetic quite pleasing. A welcome change from the chaos of the courtroom. LARRY: (beaming) It's like, totally rad, dude! Reminds me of that time I got lost in the planetarium with that cute astronomer chick. MAGGEY: (giggling) Larry, you get lost everywhere. EMA: (tapping on her 3DS) This game is alright, I guess. But I prefer something with a bit more...scientific rigor. LANA: (nodding in agreement) Agreed. It's a bit too simplistic for my taste. BIKINI: (twirling her hair) Well, I think it's cute! And the music is super relaxing. IRIS: (smiling sweetly) It's a nice way to unwind after a long day of studying the law. DESIREE: (smirking) Perhaps it could help us come up with new defense strategies. After all, every case is a puzzle waiting to be solved. GODOT: (sipping his coffee dramatically) This game lacks the bitter sting of justice, but it does have a certain...aromatic appeal. ATHENA: (eyes sparkling) It's like a mood matrix for the soul! All those twinkling stars make me feel so happy! APOLLO: (crossing his arms) It's alright, I suppose. But I'd rather be jamming out on my guitar. TRUCY: (clapping excitedly) It's so cute! We should totally make a magic trick out of it! JAKE MARSHALL: (bursting through the door, breathless) Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, but I was just arresting a guy for illegal possession of... wait, what are you all doing? PHOENIX: (grinning) We're playing Catch the Stars: Japan, Jake! Wanna join? JAKE: (eyes lighting up) Heck yeah! I love puzzles! DHURKE SAHDMADHI: (appearing out of nowhere) A gathering of legal minds engaged in such trivial pursuits? I must investigate this phenomenon. MOE THE CLOWN: (popping out from behind Dhurke) And Moe loves fun! Can Moe play too? KLAVIER GAVIN: (striding into the room, guitar case in hand) Vell, vell, vell, what's this? Has the mighty Phoenix Wright traded his courtroom battles for a game of connect-the-dots? LAMOIROIR: (emerging from a puff of smoke) My, what a lovely gathering! Perhaps a touch of magic could enhance this celestial puzzle game? FRANZISKA VON KARMA: (marching in, whip cracking) Foolishness! This is a waste of time! We should be sharpening our legal skills, not playing childish games! Everyone stares at Franziska in surprise, then bursts into laughter. [SCENE END] [LATER] INT. WRIGHT ANYTHING AGENCY - NIGHT The gang is gathered around Phoenix's laptop, reading Steam reviews for Catch the Stars. PHOENIX: (groaning) Oh no! It doesn't have cloud saves! What if we lose all our progress? MAYA: (gasps) That would be a fate worse than a guilty verdict! GUMSHOE: (patting Phoenix on the back) Don't worry, pal. I'll keep a backup save on my trusty floppy disk. Everyone stares at Gumshoe in disbelief. EDGEWORTH: (sighs) I suppose we'll have to take precautions. This game may be relaxing, but the lack of cloud saves is a serious oversight. MOE: (juggling floppy disks) Don't worry, friends! Moe will make sure your saves are safe! Moe accidentally throws a floppy disk out the window. FRANZISKA: (smirks) Idiocy! Even a clown is more responsible than you fools! KLAVIER: (strumming his guitar) Don't fret, mein freund. We'll just have to rock on and make sure we don't lose our progress... LAMOIROIR: (waving her hand) Fear not, my friends! I shall weave a spell to protect your progress from the clutches of oblivion! With a flourish, Lamiroir casts a spell, causing the Switch to glow with a mystical aura. EVERYONE: (cheering) Hooray for Lamiroir!

[VISUAL: Aqua excitedly tapping the screen, accidentally flooding the virtual sky] MEGUMIN (singing with explosive enthusiasm, staff held high): Where's the boom, the fiery light?

Bound and captured, what delight In this starry, moonlit night [VISUAL: Darkness gazing at the screen, a blissful smile on her face. The cat mascot playfully swats at her with its paw] KAZUMA (singing, exasperated but with a hint of amusement): Save my ears, oh please, I beg From this chaos, I need a leg! Darkness, less S&M, more stars Your fantasies are scarring us, by Mars! [VISUAL: The group huddled together, laughing and playing. Even Kazuma cracks a smile. The cat mascot purrs contentedly, oblivious to the chaos] [On-screen text: CATch the Stars: Japan. Now on Steam. Embrace the chaos, connect the stars] [VIDEO END] [/I]
