---

[OPTION A: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT

Edgeworth is taking his dog out for a walk around the district. And before he can do anything, the big and very real tricolor border collie suddenly stands up on his hind legs and barks excitedly at the first person he sees (which is you, sorry). Pess may or may not brace his front paws on your thigh or any part of you he can reach, tail wagging with anticipation. It's a new friend. New friend!!! On the bright side, he's a pretty clean dog. NEW FRIEND!!!

Edgeworth doesn't care, and gasps at this public display of affection.]

Pess, no. [That firm "no" is all it takes for Pess to behave, although his tail is still wagging like crazy and he's panting and grinning as a dog would. Edgeworth sighs, shaking his head. He's quick to apologize.] I'm sorry; he enjoys meeting new people.

[Far more than his master.]

[OPTION B: SHOPPING DISTRICT

There's a cleaning robot. It's doing its business, sweeping up some debris from a nearby food stall. Suddenly, out of nowhere comes this border collie. He bounds over to the robot, starts sniffing it, and promptly raises one leg ominously over the poor thing.

What do you do, responsible citizen of Cerealia? What do you do - well, while Edgeworth hasn't caught up with his dog, anyway?]

[OPTION C: GARDENS

Pess is a pro at getting people to play with him. So while you're there, you may just find this dog walking up to you with a stick, or a ball, in his mouth. He drops this at your feet, wanting a game of fetch. If you take too long to decide what to do, he'll just sit down, tail wagging happily and staring up at you with those big pleading puppy eyes.

Edgeworth is close by. He'll be looking for his dog when Pess takes a bit too long to get back to him.]

[OPTION D: GARDENS/SHOPPING DISTRICT/RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT/POLICE DEPT.

Drop something? If you did, you might just find this dog picking it up and offering it back to you suddenly before Edgeworth can act. Yeah, I guess Edgeworth is in this prompt too. Thank his dog. And the master, maybe. THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLES...er, peoples and doge.]

[OPTION E: WILDCARD

Do you want doge somewhere else? Let me know if you want another prompt!]

Comments

[majinken]

I do too. I want to help to find out those things.

[for someone who is full of sunshine and usually seems kind of goofy... it's probab;y pretty clear that stahn has conviction about this just as much as edgeworth does.]

[sayonaradumbass]

It sucks. It sucks dick, man.

[Because the dog is innocent...sweet, sweet and innocent. Kaneda barely resists reaching down to pet him too...]

[prosecutory]

[Pess bounds away, barking happily as he chases the ball.

...whoa whoa hold the phone, Repede fought? That was not something Edgeworth expected. Personally he'd keep Pess away from that sort of thing.]

He...fought? What kind of dog was he? [If that was a dog like a German Shepherd or something, that'd probably be okay.]

[heiwana]

They cannot be trusted, that much has been made clear. But there is not much we are able to do about it.

[ It's worrisome if Kousetsu's frown is anything to go by. ]

Being at the mercy of such people is...troublesome.

[prosecutory]

I would consider it unkindness if they didn't do anything at all and left us to wander as fugitives. Or aggravated our situation.

[prosecutory]

I had to earn enough credits through ViViD first.

[Play video games, get stuff back from home.]

[prosecutory]

Hmph. [His mouth twitches in amusement. That reminds him of someone he knows, too. Maybe more than one someone.] I'll keep that in mind.

[prosecutory]

In a way. You can regain items from home if the CERES scientists manage to retrieve them.

[Or at least that's what they say.]

[bropane]

So— [ back to the dog. ] How long have you had your dog?

[ it's always interesting to hear about pets, even back at home. animals are cute, ok. ]

[sortileges]

[ He presses his lips together, jaw tensing as he tries to not laugh. Slowly, he shakes his head. ]

It doesn't have to, no.

[cresthopes]

Oh! [Pause]

Then do you think you can teach Yamutto how to play fetch? [He just wants to spend some more time with his not!brother okay?]

[undaunts]

And can we meet it?

[MINT COLORED FLYING RABBIT??? CUTE?]

[cestmagnifique]

I see...and is that a service that they normally offer? Or do you need to know someone?

[geophile]

They do. Aron has different powers than Metagross - the one that you saw in ViVid - but she's still quite capable.

[ yesssss, head rubs. she's quite cute, but could you believe that she can move and crush boulders? aron are awesome. ]

[prosecutory]

Yes, it has wings, and I'll have to ask Arthur.

[He's sure he can trust two girls with a flying talking bunny, but he has to consider England's feelings on the matter.]

[prosecutory]

What are her powers?

[Edgeworth figures she looks very strong and sturdy. Hoo boy, he's up to his thighs in creatures demanding his attention. How did it come to this.]

[prosecutory]

No, no connections are required. Just good performances in ViViD.

[prosecutory]

Five years.

[OF COURSE THEY ARE.]

And how long have you had your cat?

[Cats are better than nothing, at least.]

[prosecutory]

Then what does this test entail?

[He stares, arms folded across his chest.]

[prosecutory]

Yes, but...it's easy enough that you can do it by yourself.

[Edgeworth isn't scolding or lazy or trying to shake Takeru off. He does believe the boy can handle it on his own. Especially if it's a CYbuddy, probably less likely to fool around than a real dog.]

[prosecutory]

[And Edgeworth can see that; it's enough to make him smile, a little. He knows that look in Stahn's eyes, has seen it in the eyes of people who aren't always serious, but can be serious when it was needed.]

That's good to hear. We'll need all the help we can get.

[prosecutory]

But there is something wrong with your language.

[Pess lets Kaneda pet him while Edgeworth sniffs in disdain and shakes his head.]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth understands Kousetsu's worry and lets out a breath.]

It is. But what we can do is keep investigating and remain vigilant.

[thatdamnknight]

Fights with a dagger. Truthfully, I'm still uncertain how things lead up to him learning but he has.

[one thing lead to another and now there's a dagger-wielding dog who can steal in their party. he's pretty damn good with that dagger, too. best canine ally a guy could ever ask for.]

As for the breed, the name of it escapes me but he's a large, blue-grey dog should that help identify it.

[since, you know, large and blue dogs are that common in other worlds.]

[flaredo]

Score! He'll totally say yes.

[ WE SURVIVED A TOUR TOGETHER. ]
