What: A little robot is doing some important work, but in order to get it done, we need to go knocking on some people's doors here.
Rating/Warning: N/A, will update as necessary?



[It's a nice and quiet Sunday, not a lot going on. However, if you have chosen to spend this day relaxing at home, you might be able to hear some noise--or rather, music, coming from somewhere outside of the door of your residence here:]

Put on your Sunday clothes,
There's lots of world out there!
Get out the brilliantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white in a perfumed night
Where the lights are as bright as the stars!

[Soon enough, you'll hear a knock upon your door. Upon opening it, you'll be greeted by Wall-E here, who will offer a small wave and do one of two things:

A. Attempt to roll right on past you and go straight into your house, leaving behind a large garbage bin on wheels out in the hallway. He seems to be a robot on a mission, looking around for something. Hopefully you are someone who keeps their trash somewhere out in a noticeable spot, because that's what Wall-E's here for. Otherwise, you might end up having a nosy robot starting to poke around your things when looking for your garbage can here.

or

B. He'll take a second to turn off the music playing, and then starts digging around in a container that he hoists off his back for a moment. Once he finds what he's looking for, he holds it out for you to look at: it looks like a business card that someone was nice enough to put together for him (probably after too many attempts of Plan A made it quickly apparent that he needed a different approach instead of just going into people's houses without proper explanation), stating that he's a "Door to Door Trash Compactor" and that he's here to take care of your garbage for you today.

He'll give you a moment to look at it before he then speaks.]

Traaash?

[Is it okay if he comes inside for a moment to do some cleaning? Or, barring that, if you could bring it out here and he'll take care of it for you right here outside your door?]

Oh-kay! [Wall-E nods, and off he goes to take care of the trash cans. He pauses for a moment as he looks around the inside of Edgeworth's apartment, thinking for a moment before he starts to head towards the kitchen to take care of that one first.

Edgeworth might notice, however, that instead of immediately trying to pick up the trash can and take it outside to the bin waiting, Wall-E seems curious as he tries to tilt it a little so that he can get a look inside. Is there anything noteworthy that got thrown out in your kitchen's trash can?]

[prosecutory]

[When he follows WALL-E, Edgeworth does indeed notice that he's trying to peer inside. What for? There's really nothing much in the kitchen trash can - the usual scraps and garbage from food preparation - and the only thing noteworthy is the sheer amount of tea leaves used in this household.]

...Is there a problem?

[trashcubes]

[Those sure are a lot of tea leaves, and for a moment, they do give Wall-E enough pause to consider them momentarily before he shakes his head.

Don't worry, there's not a problem here! He was just curious, that's all.

Now he's gonna try to pick up this trash can here and carry it out the front door so that he can dump the contents into the bin waiting outside. The trash can's a little taller than he is, though, so he might need a little help making sure he doesn't bump into anything on his way to the door while he's carrying it in front of him...]

[prosecutory]

[Luckily for WALL-E, Edgeworth isn't the type to overly and ostentatiously furnish his apartment. He just moves an armchair out of the way, and then strides over to the front door to open it for the robot.]

[trashcubes]

[Thank goodness for that--you would not believe how many people here keep a ton of stuff in their apartment that you have to be careful to not trip over or bump into when moving around.

The noise he makes is one of thanks as he wheels out the door with the trash. There's a bin on wheels waiting outside, which he proceeds to dump the contents of Edgeworth's trash into before bringing the empty trash can back inside and returning it to the kitchen. Next up, heading for the one in the bathroom.

Once again, Edgeworth might notice that Wall-E seems awfully curious as he peeks inside of this one too momentarily, almost like he's actively looking for something in your trash here...]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth watches the robot with mild fascination as he works, dumping out that trash. Then the prosecutor follows WALL-E into the bathroom, peering inside.

Again, nothing particularly interesting in the bathroom trash, although the discarded packaging of bathroom products are mostly on the high-end side.]

[trashcubes]

[Wow, someone's living the high life.

Alright, he'll take and do the same with this one like he did the last one, wheeling it out into the hallway and dumping the contents into the bin outside. Now all that's left is the one that Edgeworth said he was keeping under a desk in the bedroom, right?

Third verse, same as the first, as Wall-E doesn't wheel it out right away as he peers inside to see what's there. What have you got in this one?]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth basically does nothing this time except open and close the front door for WALL-E. Then he accompanies him to the bedroom. It's almost amusing, how this robot is so...curious.

This time, this particular trash bin is full of rumpled pieces of paper from writing and rewriting notes, and possibly notes for chess puzzles. There are empty ink bottles too, despite all the technology in this place for writing. And...a box that was once home to a few exquisite chocolate bonbons and the plastic from a newly opened comic book.]

[trashcubes]

Ooh... [This time Wall-E actually does reach a hand into Edgeworth's trash can, poking around at what's inside. He picks out an ink bottle, looking at it with interest, as well as the box that once held the chocolates. For some reason he's rather interested in these objects, still looking at them he starts to drag the trash can towards the door with his other hand.

Once he gets to the bin outside, he seems to be hesitating about tossing out the contents of this particular trash can, at least as far as the box and ink bottles are concerned as he reaches in to poke at them again...]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth watches, astonished at what WALL-E's doing now. To him, the box and the ink bottle are just his everyday trash, but to WALL-E, they were interesting enough to be dug out from the can. Edgeworth tails him again, making sure to open the door again, and stares at this now hesitating trash-collecting robot.

It doesn't take a great leap of logic to tell what WALL-E wants to do, considering that his attention has been on certain pieces of a prosecutor's trash.]

Do you...want to keep them?

[trashcubes]

[At the question, he seems to fidget a little nervously before giving a nod. But...]

...Oh-kay? [Would it really be okay with you if he wanted to keep some of this stuff you had thrown out?]

[prosecutory]

[As they say, one man's trash is another man's - or in this case, another robot's - treasure.]

[He nods, shrugging.]

All right, then. They're yours.
