Does he even know how to yell "OBJECTION!" and point?
I'll admit, the woman is acting melodramatic enough to be in an Ace Attorney game. Also the outlandish outfit.
Also, William No! Impersonating a Lawyer is probably a crime and might prevent you from ever becoming a real one!
It isn't that extreme. Practising law without a license is illegal, but lying... probably isn't.
Fake it 'til ya make it, dontcha know!
Once this chapter is finished and we have a full portrait of William as a character, we need to make a fangame of this. I'm happy to assist with writing/proofreading of dialogue. :)
Hrmph. Romantic relationships between University staff and students were, are, and always will be entirely inappropriate.
Not necessarily in my opinion :) I like to think I almost got into a relationship with the assistant in one of my classes, he was only a few years older than me. If we decided to give it a try, I'd feel obliged to change the class though, to avoid any possible bias.
bit of a leap made there!
Tell me I'm wrong.
"Where did we go wrong in his studies" sounds like mom-talk to me.
Could be, but I thought she didn't look old enough. Might be that it's me that's very old though.
Don't have to be mom-age to be the mom-friend or mom-sister (or mom-educational-advisor, or whatever).. :P
I think she just did.
No, in fact, she very carefully didn't say that they were wrong. She merely commented that their conclusion was not supported by the evidence we have to date.
they are not having a relationship.
As Chevy Chase said in "Fletch": As far as you know ...
That poor kid.
Ahh. This promises to get awkward. ^^; Especially if Vincent lies outright.
Yes, he's here to visit William. Visit death on him... if he absolutely has to. He is, however, searching for a way out of this. And you look like you're minded to help him, madam. Let's see what you can come up with together. gets out popcorn >:=)>
>Yes, he's here to visit William. Visit death on him..
By all rights I shouldn't have laughed nearly as hard as I did at this.
According to the character tags, this is Dr. Esther Flack. I'm guessing she's a teacher at the University - possibly the drama teacher...
Specializing in melodrama...
At least she did not utter the phrase "Fiddle-dee-dee!"
I think Eliza took the same class.
I dunno. Could be musical history... with a focus on Italian and Spanish opera of the C18th. Or, maybe Viennese. shrugs
Failing that, she's one of those bursars you're wise to inch carefully around. ;P
I always carry a tin of dried frog pills around just to deal with people like that. I take a few every day, just to make sure that they're still working.
Nah. Straight from Joe Green...Err, I mean Guiseppi Verdi.. Gilda, Tosca, Aida, Desdemona...
Always liked working on old Joe Green...
ah, reminds me of some of the routines from the late, great Victor Borge
Given the nature of the setting, she could be one of the magic teachers. After all, there is no small amount of overlap.

But she doesn't have pinkinh-purple text! Where is the pinkinsh-purple text?
Were you thinking of Pride or Lust?
Yes, I was.
I was wondering which Sin you had in mind. Both of them caused text that could be described as pinkish-purple.
Aren't we done with the sins?
I was confused for a minute because I thought Esther was Florrie:P
Here's hoping there's no law against this sort of thing
That dress is very... there.
She just screams "I turn out to be the mastermind behind the plot in the final quarter of the chapter"
Yeah, this whole thing just seems super staged. Starting with that "oh gracious, I do apologize".
I kind of want it to turn out she's just Like That, though.
Or at least "I think I'm the mastermind, but someone's been pulling my strings the whole time but I'm too arrogant to notice!"
Is that guard in the first panel Vincent Van Gogh?
If it weren't for the character tag, I'd suspect Dr. Flack of being "poor William" sneaking out in a visitor's outfit, a la Mr. Toad!
Yes, i know how to law
Am lawyer
I lawyer real well
Man, things would get awkward if the penalty for impersonating a lawyer is hanging.
If he's a weenie and we know it, clap your hands.
What could possibly go wrong? Looks to the last several chapters A lot apparently. Poor Vincent has no idea what he's in for. And we only have the vaguest of ideas!
Ulp. She did it, didn't she. Or she knows who did. Calling it now.
This'll end well. We can tell.
What could go wrong?
His father has to come in to hang them both,
Go ahead. Dig that hole deeper.
