Spoiler:
I'm not sure exactly why she put it in there, but that letter was meant for Pearl, not Dahlia. There was no need to say "burn the body" if Dahlia was to do it, because if the body was to be burned, Dahlia would already know.

Basically... We can't debate this further without us knowing who that last line was for, and for what purpose it was made...

Keep this in mind, though:
Spoiler: 3-5
After the deed was done, the orders were made for Pearl to burn the note. She wasn't told "Don't read the last page", and thus, it is greatly implied that the "Final Orders" were on that last page.

However, there is ONE question you did not address:

"How did Morgan KNOW this was going to occur for this long?"

Perhaps someone could explain how she had knowledge of such things as "The Special Course Appealing to Maya", "Misty Fey Appearing", etc.?

Spoiler: Special Course
Morgan may have told Pearl to convince Maya to take the course. Given Maya's personality, she likely jumped at the chance.


I can't explain the second part, especially considering that Misty was thought to be dead.
Spoiler:
Perhaps she referred to Maya as "The Master" and aimed that part of the letter at Dahlia rather than Pearl?


I'm glad you saw through my first question, since I was hoping someone would... Yes, I knew the answer to the first question before I asked it, but I like watching others answer my questions. :gymshoe:

Spoiler: In regards to the second one, however...
Your explanation doesn't make much sense, since it is almost canon, that Morgan and Dahlia had to explain the entire plan from the start, while in the cell together. Also, remember how Dahlia mentions that Bikini was supposed to have seen Maya dead and "Iris" there, and then she would have thought Iris had killed Maya... if Maya had been burned, that part of the plan would've failed.

I WILL, however, state that asking Dahlia to burn the corpse by letter wouldn't have done anything for Dahlia. She wanted to kill Maya in order to get revenge on Mia. There's no "Insult to Injury" that could be done by burning the body to a crisp...


At the end there, I kind've lost my remaining train of thought. Sorry, it's been happening a lot lately. :sadshoe:

Oh, haha. :yuusaku:

Spoiler:
Do you honestly think that Dahlia cared about following the plan to the letter? All that she cared about doing was killing Maya, and possibly framing Iris for some type of revenge.

Besides that, the letter had to have been placed before Morgan's arrest, and Dahlia said that Morgan wanted to kill her, possibly for the sake of the plan, so there's a possibility...


Still, I think it's just a huge plothole to be honest. :will:

Actually, I don't... if you're starting to feel a slightly cold chill right about now, you fell into my trap. :karma:

My idea is simple:

Spoiler: 3-5, 2-2, blah blah blah.
The situation presented with Dahlia following the note is completely illogical. The only one who could follow it, is Pearl... Though I believe Morgan overestimated Pearl's ability of comprehension and translation when it came down to her "Role".

Now. Morgan wanted to kill her initially. This was when they first met in the cell. Dahlia specifically says that at first, she wanted to kill HER. No plan was discussed yet, and it is most likely that Morgan had, at first, forgotten about the note, in her rage against her "Failure as a Daughter" known as Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.

However, it is likely that after she collected herself, she recalled the plan. It was a plan that Dahlia didn't have interest in, until Morgan fed Dahlia the idea of Revenge against Mia. This caused Dahlia to join her in her plan.

And you, my friend, have fallen into the trap of idioms ^_~

Spoiler: All the ones we've been talking about >.>
"to the letter" means doing something exactly the way it was planned, but does not necessarily need to refer to following something written down. So HoD's statement doesn't mean that Dahlia didn't care about following Morgan's letter, just Morgan's plan.

Anyway, this is the letter: "Channel Dahlia" + rhetoric. Pearl just misinterpreted the rhetoric as actual instructions instead of just rhetoric. Morgan might have a Kristoph-complex....

No, THIS is the letter!
Spoiler: Major Spoilers!
ImageImageImage


Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Ah... Arse moment. Anyways...

Lets consider were we stand, currently...

Spoiler: T&T Spoilers, and if you don't know that by now, *Whacks you in the head with cane*
My Stance: I believe Pearl read the note, which explained what needed to be done. However, the reason for the last page Mix-Up, was because Pearl didn't know what the words at the end meant.

How it Works: Pearl Fey is young, and wouldn't understand words like "Vengeance" and "Fruition", along with the ones we already know about. Also, Pearl Fey was GIVEN the note, and there is nothing on the second page that specifically tells Pearl that the last page's contents are for Dahlia.

How it DOESN'T work: The time Morgan had to PLAN all this, coincides with some of the Canon Timeline, and although it has been explained into a solid situation, it's still unproven. Also, "Fires" is one of the words on the final page, and since Pearl knows what a "Hearth" is, she has most likely dealt with fire in the past as well, which causes confusion on that particular words' mistranslation, not to mention that she burned the letter in an incinerator, so once again, she should know about fire, as if the Fey Manor Incinerator wouldn't be enough experience...

Your Stance: The final page was meant for Dahlia. However, Dahlia was concerned with the PLAN, and not the details, so it is unlikely that she would've read the plan's instructions.

How it works: Well, she didn't exactly FOLLOW the instructions regardless, right? Also, she only cares about herself, and no one else. She wouldn't care about following the instructions on the last page!

How it doesn't: Well, they DID plan everything Dahlia was supposed to do in that cell, so the idea that Dahlia had instructions in the letter as well is slim at best. Also, the last page requests Pearl to burn the letter afterwards. Because of this, it makes it incredibly unlikely Dahlia was supposed to obey the final page's orders.


And YAY! I'M KNOWN! :gymshoe:

I don't know if "Your" refers to me or HoD, but if it's me, that's not correct. Nothing in the letter was meant for Dahlia. "burn the" was referring to the letter, not the body. As we've already discussed, Morgan and Dahlia discussed the plan in person, so there was no need for Morgan to write it down for her.

Wait wait wait wait wait

Spoiler: 3-5
Wrestle, the letter WAS intended to bring about Maya's death. Maya was to become the Master of Kurain, and Morgan wanted her dead so Pearl would take over. There IS no way she could have been talking about Misty. Misty had vanished and clearly had no intention of coming back. Morgan's objective always was, in 2-2 and 3-5 to get rid of Maya who she perceived as the only thing standing between Pearl and the Masterhood.

As for Steel Samurai's point, well it's not really a contradiction per se. Perhaps Morgan knew it was a long shot, but since she was ging to be arrested anyway, it was her only chance. If Dahlia hadn't agreed to help her after death, then Morgan wouldn't ever have told Pearl about the letter and nothing would have happened. She'd just have to have given up. No worse for her than NOT making a plan at all, see?

Man, does all this debate make me feel stupid. :ini: I can barely follow any of this.

But I will say this, and I'm not sure if it even has to do with anything that hasn't already been established, but...

Spoiler:
I think the 'gravely roast...' sentence was just saying that 'we're going to get back at her', like, metaphorically, not literally 'burn the body'. And the 'burn the...' that got cut off I think we can pretty much prove said 'letter' after it. The fact that the letter is partly burned kinda testifies to that fact, doesn't it? And also, if Pearl knew that bodies were going to be burned in this plan, she wouldn't have gone through with it. All she knew was she was supposed to channel Dahlia. And I think a couple of people established pretty well that part of the letter couldn't have been meant for Dahlia.


*ahem* Again, sorry if all of that was irrelevant. XD

And then what would "Gravely Roast" refer to? One of the former arguments was that the final lines simply meant to "Kill Her"... "Gravely Roast the Master in the fires of Hades" is... going a bit "Far" for such an awkward translation, y'know what I mean? Like, if it said something such as "May her soul be tormented eternally in the fires of Hades", Alright, I'd concede the point, but by saying "Gravely Roast" in the sentence insists a given order, a "command" if you will, and not something that is metaphorical in any way.

Alright, I'm amazed NO ONE caught me on this point yet, so I'm just going to blurt it out now:

Spoiler: 2-2, and nothing else!
How would Morgan have even known to place a letter somewhere for Pearl to read a year later? Previously, she had no confidence in Phoenix's abilities as a Lawyer, and the moment she had been taken away by Police was when she approached the stand as a witness. She couldn't have gone back home since that moment... While the argument of "She's very careful" might apply, given the amount of insults to his abilities, the probability of it is quite reduced.


... And now to try to tackle Regy's point... assuming I CAN in my spoiler tag.

Spoiler: Take a wild guess what our topic of conversation is!
Your particular idea is damaged slightly by the fact that Pearl Fey didn't even know who "The Master" was. She assumed that "The Master" was Misty Fey... I wonder, did Morgan ever explain the situation about Maya to Pearl at ANY point in Pearl's life!? Not for nothing, but I'd think that what Morgan did there was pretty stupid... And personally, it then makes me consider her logic on all her previous actions that pertain to "Planning Ahead" if she made such a careless mistake as that one...


And to ILSM, I already argued that point in my response to Bad Player's post, so just read above. :gymshoe:

And in case you guys can't tell, I'm rather enjoying this! :will:

The line needed to be written that way so Pearl would mistake it for "gravy." There isn't really any better reason than that. :yuusaku:

Question. When did Morgan come up with this plan?

Hypothetical situation. Morgan decided to use Dahlia to kill Maya at some point between Dahlia's incarceration and Dr. Grey's request to channel Mimi. She wrote up the letter for Pearl just in case she wasn't able to give her daughter the instructions vocally for whatever reason. Then Mimi shows up at Kurain and works out the plot to kill Dr. Grey with Morgan. Since this seems like a much more reliable plan than hoping Dahlia will cooperate, Morgan sets Plan A aside and goes with the Miney channeling one. When that fails, Morgan goes back to Plan A.

Mailing it somewhere is possible, but I would think they screen mail in such places. However, Dahlia states that she was told of the plan by Morgan AFTER the woman was already in custody, when they were in the same center. While it's true Morgan had been planning to kill off Maya for quite some time, the letter she left is quite specific. She could have just assumed Dahlia would help her since it was because of Mia she had been arrested and placed on Death Row, but that strikes me as a bit sloppy, given how much she wanted her revenge. If Dahlia said no or somehow got off, the whole plan would be ruined. Plus, a lot of stuff would suggest it had all been planned out beforehand, like knowing about the "lights-out" bell and such.



So... uh... how does this still relate to anything that we've been discussing in the past few posts again? :yuusaku:

I thought Regy and I explained this well enough.

As far as the bell, Hazakurain is sort of a "branch" temple to Kurain. If they don't use the same system in Kurain, Morgan would probably at least know how "lights out" is handled in Hazakurain.

A lot of the suggestions made really don't explain anything. Dahlia states that the plan was made last month, when she and Morgan were in the same place. But Morgan wrote that letter about a year ago. Killing Misty was never part of her plan, as Misty is "dead", and she would never have guessed her sister would catch on to her plan and show up. There are a lot of details that should or could not have worked without Dahlia's help.

I'm pretty sure Dahlia said the plan "began" with her death. That's not the same as concocting it.

And no, killing Misty wasn't part of the plan. That was just a happy little suprise for Morgan.

Name: Psychic Edgeworth?
Case: 3-5

When the judge threatens to confiscate Franziska's whip, Edgeworth says he doesn't care if the prosecutor "wields a whip or drinks seventeen cups of coffee." Yet during the investigation, he reveals that he knows nothing of Godot. So how does Edgeworth know about Godot's coffee habit?

Possible explanation: He's thinking of Diego (though Diego was a defense attorney), or perhaps Gumshoe told him.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already...

We know that Ron and Dessie are married, right? So why does everyone refer to Dessie as Ms. DeLite? Surely it should be Mrs DeLite?

Calling Dessie, 'Ms. DeLite' would seem to indicate that she and Ron aren't actually married at all. :yuusaku:

also she is still being called DeLite, not her original surname so there is some indication she is married.

We know that Ron and Dessie are married, right? So why does everyone refer to Dessie as Ms. DeLite? Surely it should be Mrs DeLite?

Calling Dessie, 'Ms. DeLite' would seem to indicate that she and Ron aren't actually married at all. :yuusaku:


Then there's the fact that neither of their sprites have wedding rings on... *shrugs*

No, Ms. is used for both married and unmarried women. It was consciously coined as a female title that didn't take marital status into account, replacing Miss and Mrs. It's a direct equivalent to the male Mr.

Ron wears gloves and Desiree's sprites never show her left hand, so how would you know?

I ALMOST get the feeling you're attempting to challenge me, Lady Croik...

............. Nah, I must be imagining it. :gymshoe:

Anyways, I have a perfectly reasonable argument for both. First off, for Ron: When you CAN see his gloved hands, if he was wearing a ring under the gloves, you should be able to see the impression underneath. Kind've like if you put a pebble under a blank piece of paper, y'know?

And for Desiree...

I don't see a ring on either hand, and both ring fingers are pretty easily visible here...

Maybe they have wedding toe rings? xD


Or Ron stole wedding rings for Dessie, but she can't wear them because they're stolen... :yuusaku:

You go to the police in costume as a famous thief. Would you bring your wedding ring?

Desiree, however, I can't explain.

Then you can blame the DS spriters because in her original sprites you couldn't see her left hand. I looked! :<

But making the ring visible through Ron's glove would be a difference of 2 or 3 pixels and look like a mistake, so it would be pointless to include.

Wait, you mean that extra sprites were added in for the DS version?

And also, back to the letter agrument for a minute:

Spoiler: 3-5
Wouldn't the "Gravely roast" part be some sort of rehtoric? Or something else? I think she was just writing it to show how serious this all is. Not to tell her daughter to do it.

I'd say "Suuuuuuure" but I don't want to get the BANhammer any closer to me without my cane at my side. :gymshoe:

Now, I COULD try continuing this by playing a game of "Lets look at all the Official Art!" but that would be mean... I don't mean that actually doing that would be, but because I just checked them all to see the ring, and I can't see them on any there either...

Same with adding a wedding ring to an old woman who tries chasing after much, much, MUCH younger men, but meh! (Oldbag Reference, by the way)

On oldbag the ring is very obvious because she swats her hand at you, and it's pretty clear that it's a wedding ring. But a bump on a gloved hand would just look like a bump. Plus a wedding band wouldn't necessarily show through a thick glove anyway.

In any case, even if his hands were bare and it showed he wasn't wearing a ring clearly, it still wouldn't be considered a contradiction anyway because not all couples wear rings.

First argument: Yeah. I know. If I'm not mistaken, I was the first to make that public. :nick:

Second Argument: When he clenches his fist, if there was a ring there, it would be easy to see, since unlike with an open palm, the ring would show off the uneven surface on the glove. Kind've like if you put on a latex glove, and clench your fist: Your knuckle would be much easier to see this way, for instance. However, it looks like we'll need undisputable proof to see if it would be visible.

Final Argument: Not all married couples wear rings... Huh... See, I'm also using their devotion to each other as a reason behind my argument, in that they would be proud to show off their marrital status to others!

And how would one go about doing this? Simply put, by wearing their ring proudly around their finger.

... You know, I'm getting a BIT too into this conversation/argument/debate/whatever-you'd-call-it, so I'll just stop here before I go into "Rant Mode". :gymshoe:

Or a thin one...unless we're talking something like latex surgical gloves, pretty much any glove would hide a normal wedding band, and at the size of a sprite, even a latex glove wouldn't actually show a bump - the difference would be too insignificant to show.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but in 3-3...

Why is the crime scene in Tres Bien still roped off even when the crime had been "solved" and Maggey proved guilty? Doesn't Phoenix find out about the case like a month or so later?

This is also when we see the crime scene for the very first time, right? It's not a stretch to imagine Gumshoe yelling at someone to re-tape the scene again, even before it was approved...

What IS an issue, however, is how a month later, the scene has yet to be cleaned. Pour Examplé, the coffee stain on the tablecloth is still there. Considering how tidy everything ELSE in the store is, you'd naturally assume Armstrong would have washed the tablecloth by now...
