Hey, I'm Gilda... I think.
See, I died a little while ago. Not sure how, or why. I don't even know who I am. I'm not even entirely sure "Gilda" is really my name.
But there is something I do know. I'm dead, and I lost my memory. And now, somepony else is going to lose their life, and there's nothing I can do about it. Or can I...?
Something about this situation is pushing me to save this pony. But there's the problem of my apparent death. I'm told I have these "ghost tricks"... But they can't be real, can they?
Whatever the case is, all I know is that I must save this pony. It feels like she knows what happened to me. I want to know.
Who am I? Why did I die? Who killed me?
Well, with the power of the Ghost Tricks, I'm sure nothing could go wrong... right?
This night is looking to be a long one. I'd better piece together my memories and possess the truth before the trail runs cold.
I guess it's time to become a Phantom Detective for one night.

Well, interesting concept and I loved me some Ghost Trick so Ill keep an eye on this one. Although Gilda doesn't sound very Gilda in this so far. Having her be a bit more reluctant to help to start out with would help I think, but then again based on how the game went....

I thought I'd explore a bit and try to write about characters I give less attention to.
... Yeah, I'm just a rookie Gilda writer, in case it wasn't obvious enough.
That said, I'm no expert on Gilda. But I'm trying my best at it. 'Sides, to address the reluctance to help issue (or lack thereof), I was kind of trying for a "move it or lose it" situation, and she goes for the "move it" option because... Well, she was kinda on a timer at that moment, and we had this talking flower pushing her to help. Kinda like Sissel was by Ray.
Though I suppose I could have done the pre-Flora monologue a bit better. You're right, it just doesn't fit Gilda's personality. But in my defense... she's got ghost amnesia, she probably didn't remember her dislike of ponies. Even I'm not sure at this point.
However, who's to say it's the real Gilda yet, in the first place?
Only time will tell.

Yeah, I know how the game went, but I would suggest watching the episode shes shows up in and at least getting her dialog a bit more Gilda, because at the very least the soul is familiar with Guilda.

Good idea. I'll put that on my to-do list.
Gotta say, though, it might invoke early installment weirdness once I get her character down.
1663704
Given the kinda situation it is that could work.
1663791
That's a good point, sir.
I will be keeping a close eye on this, rest assured.
Wow, I'm working on a story like this!

Yeah, but I started to work on it when I did not finish the game. And now I finished it, so the first few chapters will be how I thought the game would finish.
Gilda working with Derpy? A hero and villian working together? You have my attettion
I'll be awaiting more. And Derpy is my favorite pony in the entire series.....ALL HAIL DERPY HOOVES!!!!
Well, this is indeed interesting. I'll watch your progress.

looks pretty interesting.
This makes me more interested in playing ghost trick. My friend keeps telling it's awesome but hadn't had a reason to play it ever since i learned it wasn't all that great respecting to AAPW/AJ

It's worth trying, honestly. Even though it's similar to Ace Attorney in some ways, it's different enough to be something all it's own. I recommend giving it a shot, at least.
So... How did I do?
Good, good, only that the "before death" scenes are a little to short. In my opinion anyway, yet it's still good

The "4 Minutes Before Death" scenes aren't meant to be very long, however, their appeal will improve as the story develops. I'm starting simple, then going more complex as time goes by. Kind of what the source material did, as well. It worked differently, though, because it was actually a game.
