[Within a few hours of Phoenix's return from that odd adventure, he's started to contact most of his friends to check up on them. And includes the Butz.]
Hey! Larry? Are you still here? And, alive and all?
[...Hopefully Phoenix didn't value his eardrum too much, because Larry really does yell right into his Cerevice when he hears his missing bff's voice.]
Where the hell were you?! Me and Edgey were freaking out over here 'cause all these people suddenly went missing!!
[There are two different values of "freaking out" between the two of them, though.]
[...He really doesn't like the sound of Phoenix's reply though.]
Craaaaap, I hope she turns up soon too... Her and the others! Like, seriously Nick, a bunch of people went missing. Me and Edgey haven't been able to get a hold of anyone from home until you just showed back up!
[Why was it everyone except him and Edgeworth? Why is this place so weird all the time--]
No man, it was a ton of people. Like, people were freaking out all over the place 'cause they couldn't find their friends!
[He considers trying people's phones again to make sure everything's all good. Once he's done with Phoenix, anyway. Phoenix is definitely top of the importance list along with Trucy and the others from home.]
A...field trip to a top secret place? Was it in like, CERES' HQ or something? Or was it ViViD being even more weird than normal?
Oh no... [Phoenix mutters to himself more than anything.] I'll have to look into them after this.
It definitely wasn't ViViD. [What he saw down there when Chuya tried to escape was all too real.] ...I shouldn't say much over the line. But it was like a secret lab of some sort.
A lab? That's super weird. I wonder how you ended up there, 'cause I doubt CERES would wanna throw you into a place they don't want us to know about...
[But he definitely gets that it might be a good idea to keep quiet about it on the Cerevice. Still though...]
Was it like, abandoned or were people just out for the day?
[I always get thrown off when even Larry catches onto something...]
That's a good point, Larry. And in that case, I wonder who it could be. [Well, he knows it's the mysterious robot at least, but he leaves that out for now.]
It definitely seemed abandoned and old. There were only two signs that someone had been there recently.

Is Franzy with you too?!
no subject
Good to see you too... [He says that very dryly. But don't worry, Larry; on some level, Phoenix is really glad to hear from even you.
But he sounds more alert when he mentions someone else, completely overlooking the question about his whereabouts.]
Franziska? No, I haven't seen her... She didn't go missing too, did she?!

So what even happened?! Are you okay?
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. What happened was - I got sent on a weird and dangerous field trip with a few others. To some sort of top secret place.
I'm deeply sorry this is so late ffff

Don't sweat it!
