In the courts of the near future, all defense attorneys come with built in superpowers. Athena's happens to be the ability to hear emotions, which she is able to evaluate with the help of her robotic necklace, Widget.
I'll be asking for your permission for two separate things - whether it's all right for Athena to pick up on the emotions your character is feeling in ordinary conversation, and also whether it would be all right for her to use Widget to look at those emotions more closely.
I'll need to explain in some detail how each ability works. This post explains some game mechanics from Dual Destinies, but there are no major spoilers.
( Hearing Emotions )
( The Mood Matrix )
To sum up, I'll assume Athena can hear emotions you include in your action tags unless you tell me otherwise, but unless you opt-in, I'll ask before I do anything major with it.
The Mood Matrix I will never use without permission, but I am always up for plotting with it.
Thanks!

Thanks for helping us so much, even if you're too scary and smart for all us humans! I have an important new request for you. I don't know if you realized this, but some people here can be idiots! The biggest ones are Apollo and Prosecutor Gavin. But I don't really want to see anything happen to them, either. If you could help, and be on bad decision patrol for me, that would mean a lot.
Cari saluti,
Athena

I wanted to write you something, but this feels so weird! I hope you don't mind if I just talk about something other than the idea of dying or that kind of upsetting thing. I really do want to say how much I admire what you do! No matter which lawyers you work for, or make your sidekick, I think you're the one who has the right ideas.
When I was younger, someone told me that, that I had the right kind of ideas and passion to achieve what I wanted to do. And it's funny, but I had never considered that before, not really. It's easy to think you don't have all that much to say that anyone wants to hear, but that's not true. Definitely not in your case! I hope you'll be really really loud!
Please take care of Apollo and Prosecutor Gavin, okay?
Hasta la vista!
Athena

I suppose we all have to think of things like this, right? Who we want to say goodbye to, and who it is you didn't say everything you would want to. I don't know how to write a letter like this. I don't want to think of my friends sad over these words someday, but I also know how, when someone's gone, you might miss knowing what they're thinking, too.
I'm rambling now! All I really meant is that I'm glad I got to meet you. You're so smart and brave, you're really an inspiration to me! In fact, I'm a little jealous, because I've tried most of my life to be as brave as you are, but you're just one of those people who you know really feels it, deep down. You're going to do amazing things for your country, so please get home safe.
Cuidate,
Athena
week 8 trial; conversation with seabass
Jul. 24th, 2014 06:36 pm[Once they've closed the door behind them in Kaoru's room, before they begin searching, she stops and shows Sebastian a conversation in her notebook. She also drops the goofy grin and looks a lot more serious.]
He's trying to keep your name out of it, even though if I'd had five guesses I wouldn't need four of them.
What he did was really stupid, but I'm confident Apollo isn't the killer.

week 8; note to Apollo
Jul. 24th, 2014 06:00 pmI understand why you don't want to say, but now that we know something like this happened, you do realize we can't rule out the possibility the killer knew and was trying to frame you?
So, we need a name. To me or to Prosecutor Gavin.

I'm so bad at these things! I wasn't going to write anything, because it's just depressing. And embarrassing if I don't die! Though I guess if you're reading this, I'm either dead or you're a giant snoop. The point is that, I have absolutely no idea what to write or what to say. I've never been very good at saying goodbye. But maybe the point is just to say something, even if it's sort of stupid, or not very meaningful.
You're embarrassing, and your lines are cheesy, and your songs are even worse. I don't know why anyone would ever listen to your band. We both know you know how to button a shirt. Plus, you're a prosecutor, even if you're one of the nice ones. I don't know why I even talk to you. I really had fun being your friend, though.
Please get home. That's all anyone ever says in these, and it's not like it's that easy, is it? And what am I even going to do about it if you don't. Still, please do it. I really really want you to.
Alles Liebe,
Athena

Jul. 22nd, 2014 02:07 pmApollo,
You don't owe me anything, but I would be very grateful if you would help me with this. That person we both know was depending on me, but I know you'll be able to do what I couldn't, now that I'm finally able to face everything. You can deliver my confession, to the extent that it will help. So, I'm relying on you to survive this, you know!
As for your friend, I'm so sorry, Apollo. I know you want answers more than anything, and I wanted to give you some. But this whole mess might never have happened if I had just been able to accept the truth in the first place. So the truth is that I have no idea what happened that day. I really do hope that you manage to find what you're looking for, and I believe you can do it! You're an amazing defense attorney, and I have absolute faith in you.
Au revoir,
Athena

week 5 - post trial
Jul. 5th, 2014 11:10 pmWho: Klavier and Athena
Where: Klavier's dumb room
When: Saturday at about 1 AM
What: Dumb
[After the trial, she can't really stop thinking about Prosecutor Gavin. She wasn't really able to express how much what he did meant to her, and to everyone, and she knows he's hurting. But she also knows his type, the way he likes to carry himself, and that he seems like the kind of person who wants to be in private when he's upset. At the same time, she doesn't think he should have to be alone.
So she waits a suitable amount of time (without considering that maybe he's asleep) and then goes through Maribelle's room, out onto her porch, and climb on over to Prosecutor Gavin's porch with a purse full of snacks! She just assumes he won't open the main door without checking. Anyway it's the middle of the night and this is actually sort of precarious, so. Knocking on the porch door.]

Where: Klavier's room
[Athena is actually in the Phoenix wing area to talk to Maribelle, though she has to wait by the wing entrance for another Phoenix-winger to let her in. Once she's done talking to Maribelle, though, she goes over to Prosecutor Gavin's door and knocks.]
It's Athena! Are you there?

week 3; post-trial
Jun. 22nd, 2014 10:21 amWho: Athena and Maribelle
When: Friday evening
Where: Maribelle's Room
[It's a few hours after the trial when she's stopped feeling upset enough to think things through, and her mistakes from earlier start to come back to her. She was a little unnecessarily harsh on Apollo and Prosecutor Gavin, and maybe that wasn't okay. But even more so, she was a little harsh to Maribelle - accusing her only to make Pekoyama seem less guilty, and then telling her off when she was upset about it even though clearly she was only worried about the situation.
So she takes the time to go over to the Phoenix Wing; someone else can let her in, but she goes to knock on Maribelle's door.]

week two; spain and athena
Jun. 15th, 2014 11:13 pmWhen: Week Two, Sunday Evening
Where: Griffin wing, Spain's room
[Athena waits until after the ball on Sunday to stop by Spain's room. She's in somewhat better spirits, and more ready for a serious conversation. She's also, less befitting for a serious conversation, still half-dressed in a pirate costume, though she at least ditched the hat.
She waits until she hears him go back to his room, and then knocks on the door.]

Day Fourteen
Apr. 15th, 2014 09:26 pm[After discovering Widget destroyed in the hot springs, she grabs the pieces from Klavier and goes running. She's not really sure where she's planning on going; she just feels like something inside her is going to explode and she needs to get away from everyone. There's nowhere to be alone in this awful place; the hotsprings bathroom is too close, the bedrooms and infirmary are too far.
She winds up running into the aquarium, bolting as far for the back as she can. As she finally nears the back, she collapses to the ground. She's telling herself what she always is when she thinks it's too much - calm down, get a hold of yourself, Athena, breathe, it's going to be okay - but this time it isn't working. It's not going to be okay.
She holds the broken remains of the necklace to her chest and starts to cry, at first still trying to hold back her tears, but after a few moments, not even bothering anymore.]

I really could use a little fresh air, but I also think we should speak privately.

private conversation; day five
Mar. 30th, 2014 12:31 pm[After the trial, Athena leaves very abruptly, off to go spend some time by herself and collect her thoughts. Kuzuryuu's death left her feeling afraid and helpless, but once she's had a little bit of time to think, she's only angry.
That's the mood she seems to be in, at least, when she goes to find Prosecutor Gavin.]
I need to talk to you.
