Disposing of a body - Day 224
Form: A ring with a brown gem (reusable)
In this memory, Simeon dons his favorite red raincoat and does the following:
- Pulls the frozen corpse of this guy out of a walk-in freezer, loading it into his kei truck.
- Under the cover of darkness, moves the body into a hot air balloon and flies up above the city so he can dump it in the ocean or something.
- Except. while he's flying he sees the FUNNIEST PLACE POSSIBLE to dump this body. It's a movie set with giant monster prints, and there's an equally giant animatronic monster head that appears to have fallen off of a nearby roof. He can't not put it there. It's just too goddamn good.
- So he dumps the body, hoping it will look like the fallen head squished the dude like a pancake, and flies off on his merry way.
What he learned:
- This is an unambiguously joyful memory
- While he does not strictly remember killing this man, he's pretty sure he did it based on how proud he feels about it
- For some reason, he thinks it's really fitting and poetic to put the body where he did, though at this moment he does not remember why
- He is so so SO happy that guy is dead. No doubt whatsoever that the man deserved it. This was not a murder. It was JUSTICE.
- Absolutely loves to fly the hot air balloon. ESPECIALLY at night. It's thrilling
Obtained Skills:
Hot air balloon piloting! (What will he even do with this?)
Making a phone call - 228
Form: Taurusaurus plushie
The Memory:
Teenaged prosecutor Eustace Winner has gone missing, oh no!! Simeon offers to help, and where does he check first? Why, the Sunshine Coluseum, where a magnificent festival is being held, complete with fireworks!
Or rather. He said that's what he was going to do. He needed to get into a crowded place so he could slip away from the search party and relocate the teenager that he kidnapped (not the same teenager). The kid is asleep (well, drugged) in a box in the back of his truck, which he drives to a nearby cold storage facility and drops off.
(As a note to anybody whose character is watching this indirectly, the kid is not actually visible at any point, since he's, y'know, in a box.)
All the while, he's listening to a feed from a bug he planted at some earlier point, which is picking up conversations of the man he promised to help earlier, the not-teenaged prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. Because he absolutely CANNOT RESIST, Simeon whips out his voice changer and calls Edgeworth to brag and make fun of him.
Crimes he confesses to during this phone call:
1. Inciting murder ("I'm the one who made big, bad Chairman Winner kill Little Miss Rosie Ringer!")
2. Previously kidnapping yet another teen for the purposes of forcing Edgeworth into action ("I 'abducted' Kay, as you put it. But why would I do that, hm? That's right — because I needed you to help me make sure Winner got caught!")
3. His in-progress kidnapping ("Sweet, innocent little Shaun is with me right now!")
What he learned:
- Seems like he's a pretty busy guy lol
- He really doesn't like the cold, but doesn't feel guilty about dumping that kid in a freezer. He's not gonna be there all that long, he'll be fiiiine
- Did kidnap: Kay and Shaun. Did not kidnap: Eustace. Somebody else did that.
- He's already let Kay go; he can hear her talking with Edgeworth over the bug/phone
- He lies about this while on the phone, but the reason why he kidnapped the (current) kid is because his mother is a judge, and Simeon is trying to ensure a guilty verdict in a trial. (The defendant absolutely IS guilty, he just doesn't trust the court system).
- He likes Edgeworth but it's kinda in the way that a dog likes a chew toy

Drawing a picture
Form: Mini ouija board ("drag the planchette around the board and pick out a word that's representative of something important to you")
The Memory:
A cute little boy is making a drawing!
(Ignore the candy. This memory is after he stopped eating candy.)
He's 12. It's clear from his surroundings that he's in some kind of group living situation. And he is drawing like he's POSSESSED. This is what he draws:
He's proud of his drawing
even though he can't draw for shit, but he hides it behind some books before going out to play.And that's it. That's the whole memory.
What he learned:
- The bald man in the kimono is the one that he, in his AU, remembers as being his grandfather. He is not clear as to what their relationship is in this situation, only that his feelings toward the man are unilaterally positive.
- The guy in purple is the same guy whose body he was disposing of in his hot air balloon many years later... except that doesn't make sense, because he's pretty sure the reason he's drawing this picture at all is because he saw Grandpa kill him...?
- Which is to say, as the cute little boy is drawing his cute little picture, his cute little brain is chock full of joyfully violent thoughts. Gramps is awesome, murder is awesome. It was the coolest thing he ever saw and NEEDED to immortalize it in art.
Waking up with amnesia
Form: A teddy bear with a button, three uses
The Memory:
A small boy, around six, has been sick all night. Feverish. Delirious. Frostbite on his fingers and toes. He keeps muttering that he has to go, and his dad is waiting for him. He gibbers incoherently about candy.
(He looks like this; he's the one on the left. The other boy is also around in the periphery, in similar condition.)
When he is finally lucid, a woman asks him a lot of questions. What's your name? Who's your dad? Where do you live? Why were you outside in a blizzard?
But he can't answer those questions. He doesn't remember. He doesn't remember anything. He starts crying.
Trying to console him, the woman tells him it's Christmas and offers him a candy cane. He slaps it out of her hand.
Interrogations by Fifi Laguarde
Form: Email (can be forwarded), received day 238
The memory:
The matron of his orphanage, Miss Fifi, is the sweetest and most affectionate woman in the world... unless you make her mad. And right now, she's mad. She has been on an absolute tirade, punishing everyone for nothing, asking the kids, over and over, who sneaked out after curfew? Who set the fire? Who drew this picture?
As the kid who did all of those things, Simeon is terrified. He is certain that if he is caught, he will be killed (for what it's worth, he is absolutely correct about this). He's also hurt, because for all her flaws and fickle temper, she's the closest thing he'd ever had to a mother. And he's utterly alone; if he said so much as word to the other kids, they'd rat him out in a second just to make the abuse stop.
The last time he saw Bronco alive
Form: Squishy heart
The memory:
Meeting Miles Edgeworth 243
- Pen
- Truth/Lies
- In the detention center for killing his best friend (he didn't do it) (no really he actually didn't)
Hiring Shelly de Killer
day 249
theme: stories
- meets scary man
- lies and lies and lies
- pays him (where did you even get enough money to hire Shelly de Freaking Killer, Simeon???)
- heh what a sucker
Almost freezing to death
- Two six-year-olds are outside in a blizzard, on Christmas Eve. This is tiny Simeon (with his natural black hair) and his friend, the buzz-cut Bronco
- Bronco has enticed Simeon out to play, but as soon as they get out there, his demeanor changes. He threatens Simeon, binds his hands, and forces him into a car. He's crying and apologizing and it's clear that he doesn't want to do it, but is too terrified of what his father will do if he doesn't, but that doesn't make Simeon feel any better as he's shut into the car.
- Bronco's father is SUPPOSED to come and rescue them. But he doesn't. They aren't supposed to be in that car for a long time, but by the time Bronco panics and tries to escape, the car door is stuck frozen shut
- So they sit there and shiver and wait, and Simeon is scared and betrayed and pretty sure he's going to die (not part of the memory, but he very nearly does and ends up with a teensy bit of brain damage to show for it)
- And then an old man finds them while taking his dog out for a walk. Simeon remembers the face of the old man, but nothing else after that
