Apollo has already been told about his relationship with Trucy and Thalassa.

- The player can get the first conversations on day 1, after Apollo has received the phone. The second conversations happen in the middle of the second investigation, between Erlenmeyer's escape and Judge's murder, while the third ones can be had anytime after that.
- Phoenix, Trucy and Thalassa, are on holiday in Borginia, a very touristic country with lots of things to see (your speculations on Borginia can be based on 4-3, but also AAI-2). Apollo was meant to travel with them, but missed the plane because of the case, and is supposed to join them later.
Note: on day 1, Apollo tells Phoenix about the case. On day 2, after the trial, he pretends he still has a lot of work to do, even though he's not technically working on a case. On day 3, Phoenix knows about Judge's murder, since he's the one who told Apollo.
The conversations are not essential to the plot. They're here for character development, fun and a bit of fan service. The goal is to develop the interactions between Apollo and Phoenix / Trucy / Thalassa after he's learnt about his true identity. The dialogue has to feel natural and spontaneous ; don't forget this is part of a game, not a one-shot fic. It's supposed to be a somewhat realistic conversation, not a monologue, but has to be funny and witty at the same time, so the style should be more Aaron Sorkin than Dostoievski.
- The conversations with Phoenix should probably be the ones most closely related to the case, as Apollo and Phoenix are both attorneys. Apollo will be looking for advice on what to do, and Phoenix could make some references to his past cases to help him. The key point here is the sort of teacher / student, or even father / son, dynamic, between the two, with Apollo both being extremely admirative of his hero and very critical of the man he's become. But Phoenix will also talk about the fun he's having in Borginia – though with a more cynical eye than Trucy and Thalassa - perhaps making fun of Apollo.
The conversations with Trucy should be lighter and more cheerful. As excited as usual, Trucy will talk about the amazing things she's seeing in Borginia. She'll also comment on the fact that he's useless as an attorney without her as his assistant, and teasing him over his relationship with Rhea. A cute brother-sister relationship, with her annoying him on purpose but not actually wanting to hurt him, should be what you're aiming for, though both characters are still likely to be uncomfortable with the idea that they're in fact siblings, and not simply treating each other as such.
The conversations with Thalassa should be focusing on the difficulties of suddenly having to think of each other as mother and son , with a lot of awkwardness on both parts. Thalassa will try to reassure Apollo about his insecurities regarding the case, and worry about every detail of his daily life, in typically motherly fashion. Apollo will want to know as much as possible about his early childhood, his father, etc. Anecdotes about Apollo's birth are to be expected.

I don't think you are really going to like it at first, but just wait and see... xD

Phoenix/Apollo 1:
Phoenix: Hey, Apollo. How's it going?
Apollo: As good as it usually goes.
Phoenix: Ha ha, I see... Anything new?
Apollo: Not really... Things seem to be coming together piece by piece, although there are a few strange things...
Phoenix: Tell me more.
Apollo: Well, the biggest thing is that Erlenmeyer's corpse is missing.
Phoenix: You should probably look into that, then.
Apollo: I was thinking that, too.
Phoenix: Oh, and Apollo?
Apollo: Yeah?
Phoenix: Leave your message at the beep.
Apollo: Wh-What?!
Phoenix: [beep]
Apollo: ... I just have one thing to say to you, you stupid old man... OBJECTION! [click]

Phoenix/Apollo 2:
Phoenix: Hey, Apollo. What's up?
Apollo: Ah... Not much. (It had better be him this time...)
Phoenix: Oh, so you're going to be joining us soon?
Apollo: Oh! I-I mispoke, I have a ton of work to do with the case!
Phoenix: So you couldn't wrap up the case in one day?
Apollo: Y-Yeah... It got a bit crazy today. There's a few loose ends I need to look into.
Phoenix: Loose ends like...?
Apollo:W-Well, uh... I-I have a hunch that maybe this whole thing was actually a prison break!
Phoenix: A prison break?
Apollo: Yeah! They broke Erlenmeyer out of prison, but did it by framing Judge for Erlenmeyer's murder!
Phoenix: ... I don't know... That sounds a bit far-fetched. Would someone really cover up a prison break with a murder? Maybe you should rethink this theory of yours, Apollo.
Apollo: Uh... I'll see. I want to look into it a bit more.
Phoenix: All right. Who's "they"?
Apollo: Who's who?
Phoenix: You said, "They broke Erlenmeyer out of prison." Who exactly is "they"?
Apollo: A-Ah... I need to look into that, too...
Phoenix: Well, wrap up this case quickly.
Apollo: I'll try to.
Phoenix: You need to get over here already! Don't you want to see the world's largest cocoon?
Apollo: O-Of course!
Phoenix: Then I expect to see you soon! Let the oppotunity of seeing the cocoon drive you, Apollo! I mean, just think about how much poison you could make from it! Anyway, talk to you later.
Apollo: Yeah, later... [click] (...Wait, why didn't he say how much antidote could be made from the cocoon...?)


Phoenix/Apollo 3:
Phoenix: Hey, Apollo. How's it going?
Apollo: Ugh, not this again...
Phoenix: Ha ha, I see... Anything new?
Apollo: Your answering machine message isn't, at least.
Phoenix: Tell me more.
Apollo: I just wish this stupid message was shorter!
Phoenix: You should probably look into that, then.
Apollo: Yes, yes, just finish up...
Phoenix: Oh, and Apollo?
Apollo: I know, leave my message at--
Phoenix: It's me this time.
Apollo: GWAAAAH!!
Phoenix: C'mon, Apollo. You really can't hear Trucy and Thalassa in the background?
Apollo: N-No... B-But why do you keep on tricking me?!
Phoenix: Because it's fun and easy.
Apollo: Please st-stop...
Phoenix: No way!
Apollo: Mr. Wright..!
Phoenix: At least I'm being honest and not lulling you into a false sense of security.
Apollo: ...I... suppose that's true.
Phoenix: Anyway, didn't you say you had something to tell me?
Apollo: Oh yeah... (I had completely forgot!)
Phoenix: How is the case coming along?
Apollo: Strangely... It's a bit weird defending a serial killer.
Phoenix: Don't let your preconceived notions deceive you.
Apollo: There's a lot of evidence against Erlenmeyer, also...
Phoenix: Well, I'd say there was a lot of evidence against me, Wocky, Machi, Vera, and Judge. That hasn't stopped you before, has it?
Apollo: I-I know, but still, I just can't... I don't really know how to phrase it.
Phoenix: Relax. You won't do a good job either in your investigation or in court if you keep this up. Take a deep breath, and regain your conficence and composure.
Apollo: O-Okay...
Phoenix: Someone once told me that it's a lawyer's job to smile.
Apollo: S-Smile!?
Phoenix: That's right. No matter how bad it gets, you need to smile for your client until the bitter end.
Apollo: Ah... I think I understand...
Phoenix: Good. Then that means you'll resolve this case quickly and join us over here! The Borginian ocelot in their National Zoo whistles only once a month, and it's in two days! I know you wouldn't want to miss that.
Apollo: N-No... I'll try my best.
Phoenix: Great. Good luck, Polly! [click]
Apollo: (It's a lawyer's job to smile... Hm... Oh well, back to the investigation)
(If Rhea is with you, then:)
Rhea: All finished speaking with Mr. Wright?
Apollo: Yeah, all done.
Rhea: Good. Let's get back to our investigation. ...What's with the dopey grin?
Apollo: O-Oh, nothing... Let's just get back to work.


I'll try and think of something for Trucy and Thalassa. I have an idea for one conversation with Trucy, at least...
