This isn't right. Not that background music for one's everyday life is a typical occurrence, mind you. But this, this music is Not Right. That's with capital letters, by the way, to underscore the not right-ness of the situation.

Now I don't think whatever's playing this background music would just suddenly switch to rather threatening tones without reason. So I have to think that perhaps something is coming.

Maybe several somethings. Maybe a flock, or a fleet, or a similarly alliterative name for a group of Somethings. That's with another capital, because I don't think this is just a something, this is a Something.

Which leaves the question, just what is this Something and how do we stop it? Questions. Plural.

Well, aren't we all lucky.

There's a Doctor in the house.

How are we going to do that?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No idea. I tend to figure these things out as I go along.

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

What kind of doctor are you exactly?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I'm the Doctor.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

The doctor of what?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Everything.

Right. I should probably get back to figuring out what this "something" is. It was [weird] nice talking to you, um, sorry what was your name?

[8|||||]

I already told you, I'm the Doctor. [geez Apollo pay attention]

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

Your name is your occupation?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

[Fortunately, Apollo has a very strict rule against teasing people about their names. He doesn't like it when people do it to him, after all.]

That makes it easy to remember, I guess.

I'm Apollo Justice, and my name isn't my occupation.

[well, if one wanted to be technical, justice sort of was his occupation :|b]

Apollo Justice?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That's a brilliant name, 'Apollo Justice'. Fantastic.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

[Well, only half of his name is his occupation.]

[Look, he's kind of flustered.] Oh, um, t-thanks.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[True enough.]

So, Apollo, tell me what you make of this whole music thing.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

[Slowly:] It's pretty strange. When I asked around about what happened last time, nobody mentioned anything about the music changing. Even if you've learned to block out the music, it would be hard not to notice a change. So it's possible that this change in music is something new. I also find it strange that I can't find the source of the music. Plus the music is always the same volume no matter where you go.

As for what it means...I don't have a clue. That's what I've been trying to figure out. If it is something that's never happened before, it could be an important clue.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...Oh, I like how you think.

Myself, I think this rather foreboding change in music is something of a precursor. A warning, even.

What the real question we should worry over is what we're being warned about.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

If someone went to these lengths to warn us, I'd say we should probably worry.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No need to worry. I'm here.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

But I thought you said you didn't have a plan.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I never start out with a plan. Things work out.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

...I think I'll keep worrying. Just in case.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. I'll be working this little mess out.

[video]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that.
