Hi Prosecutor Blackquill,

You asked to see my see my sketch of you so here it is! Specifically it's just just a half-body of you in Link's champion shirt from Breath of the Wild. I was gonna add the Master Sword but I realized I didn't want to draw your right hand sooo.... I left it out. Probably never gonna finish it but it was fun!

(Was also gonna add Taka but got distracted and forgot)

-Sun

Sun,

Thank you for sharing with me. As I suspected, I do indeed look fine dressed this way. Your art skill is a fine thing as well, and I encourage you to continue. If you need inspiration, I have some ideas, but draw what you like. It will become terribly dull otherwise.

-Simon Blackquill

Dear Simon and Bobby,

how do I get over a broken heart?

There was someone very dear to me, but they don't want to talk to me anymore. I'm not taking it well.

Do you have any advice?

My anonymous friend,

You are facing a rough time. There is no clear and easy answer, and it can be unclear how to proceed. Sometimes the gap can be bridged, but not always. It is best to respect their wishes, as hounding them will only push them farther away.

Turn instead to those who love you in return. Take the time to grieve, as while the person lives, the relationship has passed. Speak to those who are close to you, and consider finding ways you can spend time with them. I know from personal experience that denying yourself the chance to mourn will hurt you further in the future, but wallowing will offer no peace. Seek instead to continue your life, but do not claim it is the same as before. A new hobby may help, as well as time with your other friends and family.

Know that the pain is not forever. While you will likely miss their presence for as long as you cared for them, you will heal as well. The emotions will change, and while you think of them again, you will not be alone. To hurt greatly is the price of loving deeply, and this, too, will pass.

Regretfully,

-Simon Blackquill

Dear, Just reader,

I don't know that I can advise you as well as Prosecutor Blackquill can, but you are not alone. Life is full of meetings and partings, and while they may no longer wish to be part of your life, there are others who do.

Be safe, be well!

Métis Cykes

Reader,

Hm. Métis, like the group of people in Canada who are mixed Indigenous and European in ancestry?

I will admit I am unware of that portion of Cykes-sama's history, but It is certainly possible. She had lived north previously, and while I believe she has some Japanese ancestry, I.....do not actually know that as a fact. I do know she has lived in Canada, so it may indeed be the case.

If you have, in fact, just misspelled her name, then know it does not contain a written accent.

Curious,

-Simon Blackquill

I gave Metis Cykes an oversized blunt, sorry if she codes more robots to be homocidal.

I am unconcerned. Aura was the more homicidal of the two, and she has chilled slightly.

Does that mean you should have done so? Nay. Will there be death wrought? Not likely.

Disappointed,

-Simon Blackquill

Apologies for the lengthy delay in responses, readers, life has been quite busy of late. I will get to the last few asks in my inbox soon.

That said, it has come to my attention we are on the tail end of a so-called blackbright week, and am curious how the lot of you see us.

As such, I must open Pandora's Box, and answer any questions any of you have about our relationship to eachother.

With apprehension,

-Simon Blackquill

Sooo....... Simon, do you and Bobby ever go out to dinner with each other? Any favorite spots?

Tired reader,

After working cases together it is common for us to share a meal, the alternative of both fending for ourselves seems...rather pointless. Especially as Fool-bright seems incapable of sitting down with just himself.

Our tastes in food, however, do not match. I have a particular fondness for noodle shops, sushi, and certain barbecues. He on the other hand, prefers hot dogs. He considers himself quite the expert on hot dogs stands in the LA area, in fact.

Thankfully, both of us can be convinced to let the other choose on occasion, though we do tend too much towards burgers in my opinion.

Hungry,

-Simon Blackquill

hey simon! what would you say is your favorite thing about bobby? he certainly has a lot of great qualities, but which do you find most endearing?

Cheeriest Reader,

He certainly has a lot of qualities. His amazingly straightforward sense of justice, his voice that carries, possibly for miles, his willingness to drop anything to assist another....

Hm. I thought it would be easier to pick out the endearing from the annoying...

I think his perseverance would have to be the one, however. I told him repeatedly not to waste his time attempting to 'reform' me, and he never once took that advice into account. After his experience with that spy, he has maintained a sunny disposition, despite the circumstances and the long term effects... His emotions are wild, yet he never seems to let anything get him down for long..

....I seem to need a moment. Continue sending questions, pay me no mind.

Surprisingly emotional,

-Simon Blackquill

This one is for Detective Fulbright!

When you became a detective, were you prepared for the crazed justice system, like when Prosecutor Blackquill was arrested and the whole thing with the trial and getting him back to his job, or were you not prepared at all?

Oh! another for me! how exciting!!

Apologies for the delays, friends! life just doesn't stand still, does it?

Now then, Fine dads,

Was I ready? No. I thought I was, mind!

I had done very well in police academy, and I was not the only officer in my family so I figured I had already heard it all....oh, how wrong I was!

Nothing could have prepared me for meeting Prosecutor Blackquill, for having my sense of Justice challenged, for all that ugliness afterwards, or the shock of coming back and finding both how much and how little has actually changed...we're roommates now, and I got my beloved dog, Rover! he's a great help.

Nothing could have prepared me, I don't think. It would have been nice to have had a warning, but...that's not really how life happens somtimes, is it?

All in all, regrets aside, I'm glad I'm here.

I really hope this answered your question, thank you for asking!

In Justice We Trust!

-Bobby Fulbright

Any ideas on what costume you might be wearing this year? That is, if you intend to wear a costume for spooky celebrations

Oh! What an exciting ask!

Well, fine slimes, Yes, I do intend to dress up, and I've been thinking Simon might too! I suggested Jessie and James, but he said he wasn't interested in dying his hair red. Pity, that...

I think I'll go as Colombo instead! He's great, and so charming, I just worry people will see my coat and think I'm going as Gumshoe instead. Still, I think it will work!

In Justice We Trust!

-Bobby Fulbright

So this is what Fulbright meant when he said I must check the computer. Hm.

As for my costume, I believe the orange jumpsuits you can pick up at Walmart are in poor taste. As such, I will be wearing one of those. I imagine I shall cause some nervous energy at the Prosecutor's Halloween party.

Something to look forward to, at least.

Quietly,

-Simon Blackquill

Prosecutor Blackquill,

We all know Hallow's Eve is a time of mischief. I often think of when a good joke goes too far - any words on how you'd handle this, whether the reciever or the dealer of these pranks? What delinquincy did you normally get up to in your youth, or any year since?

Well wishes to you and your sister Aura this month, ~A Man With Too Many Plastic Skeletons In His Backyard

Weary Skeleton man,

It depends on the nature of the prank, of course. If someone tampered with your food without your knowledge, for example, that would be reason to fight, especially if it endangers you in some manner.

Hiding someone's car keys so they are late to work on the other hand, well that calls for escalation.

Excuse me, I must be off before the fool returns.

Have a Merry Hallows Eve, add some real skeletons to contrast the plastic.

Full of mischief,

-Simon Blackquill

Im so sorry everyone! I had planned to post sooner, but I was so busy helping Nana, but here are some holiday highlights thus far!

Simon met everyone, and played a round of pit! Great fun!

He hit it off with one of the younger cousins, Jared. Dresses all in black and wears a lot of skulls. No idea what they talk about, only that he's been following Simon around like a little lost chick.

Simon fell soundly asleep right after having four helpings of pie, poor soul, people just kept handing him more! Normally he's so good at saying no, I don't know what happened!

Seemed to hit it off with great uncle Marmot too! They sat outside a couple of feet away from the main group. No idea if either of them spoke, but Marmot offered him a beer so you know he likes him.

Lectured Aunt Goldie about how to care for a parrot properly. Apparently she was doing it all wrong!

Cousin Eddie showed up, with his wife, and it turns out he invited his Girlfriend as well. There was quite a fight about it, and I'm deeply ashamed to say some people are taking bets on when the divorce is coming. He expected us to help him prevent them from finding out about each other! I mean, really!

Oh and Aunt Mineya put her foot in it again. Simon was quite upset about it, and I just about saw red myself. If we weren't separated I don't know what I would have done, but it wouldn't have been pretty, I'll tell you that!

Oh, but there's no point getting worked up about it now. We're going to be here a little longer and then we'll head back, and as always the inbox is open!

Happy Holidays! In Justice We Trust!

-Bobby Fulbright

i call my grandma ‘nana’ too! my thanksgiving was a lot less chaotic though, the most eventful thing that happened was me losing really badly at nana pong (beer pong but with a muffin tin)

Feeling Reader,

Is this a common choice for addressing ones grandmother? I was never particularly close to mine, or much of my family for that matter, and am thus curious as to how many names for the relationship there are.

I hope, uneventful as it was, it was a pleasant one. I had never experienced thanksgiving before, and was totally unprepared for the chaos that awaited me. I should probably have surmised that Fulbrights family would tend towards loudness, but as I knew he was an only child, I did not expect the sheer number of relatives there, as no family gathering in my life has seemed so full.

Despite this, I must admit that I had some of the better pies of my life, and uncle Marmot (surely not his birth name) seemed it be a kindred spirit. And, 'Nana' Fulbright, as she has asked to be called, did set aside a room for guests to step out into if they needed space. I was not even the only one who used it. it was a thoughtful inclusion.

I hope that, uneventful as it may have been, it was a pleasant Holiday for you as well. I have full confidence that you shall best the others at Nana pong next chance you get. Do the rules change in other ways besides the muffin tin? It certainly would reduce waste if plastic cups are removed from the equation. Or is it common to use other washable dishes? Such questions have never crossed my mind before now.

Exhausted,

-Simon Blackquill

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Are you excited? I certainly am! I'm headed to my Nana's for Christmas, and after some begging, pleading and compromising, both Simon and that little yellow lawyer are coming with me!!

Im quite excited for it, and can't wait to see who else will be there!

Do you all have any holiday traditions?

In Justice We Trust!

-Bobby Fulbright

hey you two!! how were your holidays?

Oh hello, fine CheeseCake!

It's so good to be posting again, though I am a little sad we didn't get to these sooner, it's already mid-to-late-march!

They were splendid!

My Nana made Simon a sweater, let me tell you getting his measurements for her was a chore! he was SO insistent that she didn't need to do anything of the sort. No matter!

I was a little sad he didn't want to come with me to Christmas, as he had promised to spend it with the little yellow lawyer, but then when i was talking to her she commented how fun it sounded, so I invited her as well, and they both came! I mentioned cousin Eddie when we were catching up about thanksgiving, and his horrid decision to bring both his wife and his girlfriend, who did NOT know about each other, well, they both came to Christmas as well, and spoke to each other but firmly avoided him. Well reasoned, in my opinion. The divorce is pending, I believe. New years was much quieter by contrast. a lot of things were happening in some of our friends lives, but nothing that hasn't worked itself out.

How is your year getting along?

In Justice we Trust!

-Bobby Fulbright

Greetings to you, Prosecutor Blackquill,

i believe that a good friend of mine has been ghosting (that means that they've stopped communicating with me suddenly) me for the past 3 weeks but i don't know why? There were no arguments or fights happening prior to their disappearance, and I thought I was being a good friend to them too. I know I should probably let them go, but I really cherish our friendship and i don't want it to end. I've composed a sensitive response telling them I would like to see how they are doing, but I'm not sure if i should send it to their phone number (where i still don't get responses) or their discord (where they are active, but i don't want to bother them and make it worse). Should I even send over the message, and if so, which platform should it go?

Thanks for reading my message,

-z

Lonely Reader,

First, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I hope you are well.

If you are fully unaware of any wrong doing on your part, then it is possible that the fault does not lie with you, though I would not assume this to be the case, people will sometimes disappear without disclosing why. I personally cut off both Aura and Athena when I was imprisoned, refusing to respond to their letters, though it was not due to their own actions.

If you truly wish to rekindle a relationship with this person, then this is what I would recommend.

reread your message, seeing if it is at all self-deprecating. If so, edit those portions. It would not wrong of you to ask what has caused this, but It would be wrong of you to assume the worst and attempt to fling yourself down because you hope they will see this as regret, or because you subconsciously think it will make them pity you. While many do indeed feel this is the right thing to do, often it is anxiety speaking and not reality. it often contributes to the other feeling they have to reassure you, not that you are taking their feelings in to consideration.

Instead, keep it short and sensitive. I will not ask that you send me the message you have composed already, only that you read it carefully. Express that you miss speaking with them, and are sorry not to have heard from them. ask if something is wrong, and let them know you would like to make amends if this is so.

Send it, and then, let go. No amount of pushing afterwards will make them desire to speak with you. either they wish to, or they do not. Do not assume you will recive an answer, but leave the door open in case they desire to contact you.

We can not know if this will work, especially when you are uncertain why they have cut you off to begin with. Eventually, you must move onwards.

Regardless of how this shakes out, I wish you well.

Still disconnected,

-Simon Blackquill.

Dear Detective Fulbright,

Do you know any of your ancestors in the year 1600?

Hello!

hmm.....No, I don't believe so...though I'd love to learn about them! it sounds interesting! Prosecutor Blackquill was just telling me that it was an important year in Japanese history, apparently it was the start of the...Edo period? I think?

I've no idea what my ancestors were up to at the time though. I've never managed to trace my family tree past when the Fulbrights reached America. an eternal mystery!

-Bobby Fulbright

bobby what would u do if u met your clone?

Anonymous reader.

This question is not going to reach Fulbright. While he has not met a true clone of himself, he has met the closest thing currently possible, which is to say, another man wearing his face and his voice.

The results were traumatic. He was held captive for an unclear amount of time. Unclear because by the time he was freed, his sense of time was so completely shot he could not tell us exactly when he had been replaced. There is a theorized timeline of events, but we may never be certain.

As such, another person may be better suited to your query, even if it is a simple "what if".

Completely Calm

-Simon Blackquill

Hahaha! Zvarri! The truth has once again been elegantly revealed to me! You are a detective, are you not? And you watch after a jailbird prosecutor…

You claim to stand for justice? tut tut, you have a lot to learn if you ever wish to be an Ace Detective like moi. Don’t be discouraged, for there is always time to learn and grow.

Just don’t for a second think that you can hold a candle to my investigative prowess and quick wit!

-Luke Atmey, Ace Detective

Wh-

....oh.

..But I do stand for justice! I do! Someone has to work with Prosecutor Blackquill, to leave him alone would not be just!

Maybe I don't have your investigative powers, or your quick wit, but I do stand for justice! Maybe someday I'll be a greater detective, and maybe someday you will too!

Simon, mind if I talk about some things I learnt in forensics that a little strange. It relates to psychology if it helps interest you.

Reader,

If you have a question regarding psychology, I would be happy to discuss it with you. Likewise, if you have questions regarding forensics, I would be less invested then detective Skye, certainly, but not opposed to speaking with you regardless.

Is this a question? your candor makes it seem as though you wish merely to speak, and I've no capability to halt you in your efforts. wither or not I will reply will depend on if it is something I feel the need to speak on, besides being joined by other unanswered letters in the postbox, some of whom I do indeed intend to reply to, though life in its frustrating complexity has halted the effort for now.

Regardless, you are welcome to send your queries, if queries you have.

Mildly interested,

-Simon Blackquill

Well, here goes nothing.

When it comes to psychology in criminology, it’s seen as group evidence, not individuals evidence. It’s like a shoe print, not a blood sample. This means that any hint towards this type of persons psyche can belong to any number of people. Which means, without proper thought, the paper would have been useless. So this means the phantom did all that killing for nothing.

Ah, I see where you are coming from with this.

Reader, you are correct, the report alone would never have been enough. which is why when I spent seven long years teasing the underground, I did not clarify what exactly I had. even as far as psychological reports go, It was based on the smallest snippet of information, not a complete view of the man at all. I framed it as more evidence then was actually there, and the key to finding him, as it was the only evidence available.

it took seven damn years to tease him out, waiting for him to take the bait.

Even then, he was satisfied to let me be executed, ensuring my silence, and collecting-destroying-the moon rock, which unbeknownst to anyone, had the much more damning blood samples on it.

as for why he killed Cykes-sama in the first place, I assume it was because of his own paranoia, and the possibility of being compromised, lacking the facts. As far as my understanding of the situation goes, his mysterious organization was interested in the rocket, not her. He may have believed she uncovered more then she did. He may have feared if left alone she would. his identity was not something he could take great risks with, as seen when he was cornered in the courthouse.

By the time she died, I already had the report, little good did it do.

I hope this is...enlightening, I suppose.

I need a drink.
