The Wright Talent Agency
"Hello!" Trucy said hapilly with a smile on her face. "The Wright Talent Agency. Trucy speaking how can I help you?"
"Oh!" Trucy reconised the voice as Pearl Fey, one of her best friends and spiritual sister. "Hi there Trucy..."
"What's the matter?" Trucy gasped she quick to sense that something was wrong with Pearl with the sad tone of her voice along with the muffling. "Oh, don't cry. Daddy and I will try and fix it for you."
"MYSTIC MAYA HAS GONE MISSING!" Pearl cried out. It was so loud that Trucy's father, Phoenix Wright could hear Pearl as if she was in the room. "I heard people say that her and Miss Von Karma went into the haunted karaoke bar last night but never came out. What if they're trapped? They're not dead, I can't channel either of them yet."
"Pass the phone over," Phoenix demanded as he wanted to get a hold of Trucy as soon as possible. "Pearls, don't you worry. I might not be a lawyer anymore, but I can still help you find Maya. I'll get Edgeworth and Gumshoe to help us."
"Thank you," Pearl sobbed. "Mr. Nick, you're such a gentlemen."
"Trucy and I will be coming to Kurain as soon as possible."

The Bedroom
Last night was a night that neither Franziska or Maya would ever forget for a long time. They both still had battery power on their phone, but no reception to call anybody over. Franziska felt as if she was on the edge of defeat: Naomi Nakashima was nowhere to be found and could have easilly escaped the building by now. With no reception or any sign of wifi or a computer nearby, it was safe to assume that would be no leads on her for a while.
Maya was still tucked away in bed. She had tried to wake her up but had no luck. She started by poking her gently on the shoulder three times. Maya contimued to snore gently. She tried tapping her shoulders and nothing happened. Franziska was beginning to panic and used her whip, hoping that the sharp sound would make Maya open her eyes. It didn't effect Maya in the slightest.
"Maya!" Franziska grabbed her shoulders. "Maya Fey! Wake up!" Franziska opened the covers and gasped at what she saw. Maya's legs were painted red in what Franziska assumed was blood. She looked in the mirror behind her and noticed that there wasn't an inch of blood on Franziska's clothes. "How strange!"
Suddenly the cabinet exploded and slashed Franziska's sleeves and pierced the walls like darts. Franziska's part of the bed, suddenly flipped over as another woman emerged from the gaping whole of the bed. Franziska charged at the bed and grabbed Maya away from the woman before she could grab her leg. Judging from the blood dripping from the woman's lips, she assumed that she wanted to eat Maya's leg like a chicken drumstick.
"NAOMI NAKASHIMA!" Franziska yelled. "Don't you dare harm Maya Fey!"
Dark creepy music began to play in the background as the woman sang in a husky voice as she slowly crawled over to them and started to sing. "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem. But if I know you, I know what you'll do you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream."
Maya opened her eyes with her head mushed into Franziska's chest. She yawned, oblivious to her surroundings. She stretched out her arms and said, "Morning Franziska."
"M-Morning," Franziska said. "It appears that we've found our target."
"You have indeed." Naomi bursted into a fit of giggles. She stood up and bowed before them. "My name is Naomi Nakashima, I own Seiko Karaoke. I named it after my lost sweetheart: Seiko." Her dirty face became washed with her tears as she spoke with her hands on her heart. "God rest her soul."
"What happened?" Maya asked. She tried to jump over to reach her, but Franziska pulled her back.
"Me and my friends were taken to another dimension," Naomi explained. "Seiko died in that dimension and when we returned, she was wiped from existance."
Maya gasped. "Oh Naomi... that's terrible. I'm so sorry."
Naomi smiled, but it was obviously a fake smile covering up years of heartache. "I've found a way to bring her back!"
"You have?" Maya asked.
"That's impossible."
Naomi's smile widened along with her eyes. "Come to the lab," she instructed them. "And see what's on the slab!" She giggled deeply.
"Hey!" Maya cried out. "That's from The Rocky Horror Picture Show!"
"I see you shiver in antici..." Naomi winked at both Maya and Franziska before she finished off her sentence. "...pation. But maybe the rain isn't really to blame."
"Fool!" Franziska barked. "It isn't raining outside."
"So I'll remove the cause," Naomi explained. "But not the symptom."
