In a hastily rented cottage on the coast of France, Miles Edgeworth drafts letters from beyond the grave, trying to articulate the muddled thoughts that led to a rashly written note and a sudden disappearing act. On the other side of the sea, Phoenix Wright lapses into his old habit of writing letters to a childhood friend who isn’t listening, trying to piece together theories with minimal evidence, as is his specialty. Neither aware of each other’s struggle to understand the events that forced them apart—both entirely out of reach.
(This is a playthrough of a hack of a hackof dancynrew’s letter writing TTRPG, Beyond Reach. Play proceeds through letters written by each player, interrupted by a collaborative dream sequence halfway through the playthrough. Each player is unable to read the others’s letters until the end of the game. Edgeworth was played by Stars (starsshine77), and Phoenix was played by Charlie (fixationstn).)
[images are a series of drawings of miles and phoenix dancing. in the first, miles tugs phoenix along as if in invitation; in the second, phoenix pulls miles toward him clumsily, and they both laugh as they trip around; in the third, they appear to be dancing the lindy hop with some competence; they’ve shed their suit jackets and are grinning unabashedly. in the final, phoenix has caught miles in a half dip, and they are blushing as they gaze at each other in wonder, as if just recognising something that’s been with them all along.]
So I don’t know if people keep up with my art, but a month or so back I posted art regarding dancer outfits. Yeah it’s made a comeback baby. Set in a FE-esque setting, the WAA works as a band of mercenaries. However, they’re also performers around the time of festivals. Edgeworth is a mage serving under the king and Kay is still his thieving sidekick. I spent the whole afternoon making this with several interruptions.
