---

[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

/flails I'm so sorry this is late

[amanesuzuha]

O-oh, so that would explain why! He must have missed you until now although... does time pass in our timelines while we are here? It might have felt like nothing to him.

[She is sort of more talking to herself now, curious about the time differences and factors.]

Sorry, you can probably tell I'm a little new here and still working out everything.

[cresthopes]

You think so?

[He said before looking down at his dog and then back at Edgeworth] So does that mean I just throw a stick and he'll just get it by himself or something?

[majinken]

Right. If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me. I'll do my best.

[it is one of stahn's better traits. idiot as he may be in a lot of ways, his compassion and care for everyone around him always motivates the right choices.]

[sortileges]

[ He pauses, finally looks down at Pess a moment later. ]

That depends on what's an automatic refusal in your eyes, doesn't it?

[sayonaradumbass]

So? There's something wrong with the stick up your ass. Might wanna see a doctor, right, Fido?

[he sing-songs this as he scratches behind the ears]

[geophile]

Earth manipulation, primarily. Though she also holds enough strength in her body to demolish a truck.

[ one foot and four inches of pure STRENGTH. run and tell that. ]

I tag a lot later than this ahaha

[prosecutory]

According to the Powerpoint presentation you saw when you first arrived, our worlds have been destroyed.

[He pauses. Pess rolls over on his back as if demanding more petting.]

CERES is trying to restore them and would supposedly stabilize them at times; that's what they told me after I managed to return home. It was exactly as it was when I left it.

[What Edgeworth doesn't mention is that when he left, he was sent to a different world entirely.]

[amanesuzuha]

This is the first time I think someone has mentioned that CERES are trying to restore them, I'm glad to hear that at least. Though, at first I couldn't believe the worlds were destroyed.

I can't really explain this too well, but I sort of thought I'd know somehow. I talked to someone from my world about that, and he explained that it might happen long after anything I know about. It took a bit for that to sink in really.

Maybe I just didn't want myself to admit that... it was all really gone.

[She looks to be a little upset from talking about this, like it was her fault. Her hand moves slowly back to Pess to pet him some more to try and relax herself again but the sadness is still obvious on her face.]

[cestmagnifique]

...Then there are real world consequences for playing the game? I didn't realize.

[prosecutory]

I...I see. [He takes a bit of time to digest all this information. Not only did the dog fought, it wielded a dagger and was a...shade of blue.] I'm not familiar with that breed, or any dagger-wielding dogs for that matter.

[Yeah.]

[prosecutory]

And reward him, if he retrieves the stick.

[He nods. The positive reinforcement was key.]

[prosecutory]

I'll be sure to let you know. Thank you, Stahn. In the meantime, keep an eye out for anything strange that may happen in the future.

[Because they both know that these peaceful days will soon come to an end. Again.]

[prosecutory]

Don't hurt my dog.

[That's definitely an automatic refusal. This is one (1) icy glare, extremely cold and clearly telling anyone to not mess with Pess.]

[prosecutory]

I thought you wanted to call him Monty.

[Pess wags his tail happily, not really caring what Kaneda calls him.]

[prosecutory]

[Earth manipulation...that means earthquakes. Thank goodness she's not using her powers right now.]

How many of these creatures do you have with you?

[prosecutory]

It's just as possible that they're hiding something from us.

[Pess nudges her hand as if encouraging her to pet him.]

I returned home twice. And twice I was brought back here. I don't believe in coincidences.

[prosecutory]

[Pess starts sniffing Mitsuru's feet and walking around her.]

In a way, yes. They're quite...persuasive in making us play their games.

[majinken]

Right, I'll definitely keep an eye out!

[he gives pess a few more pets before bringing himself to his feet.] I guess I shouldn't keep you any longer, huh? I'm sure Pess want to get some more energy out!

[sortileges]

...Why would I want to hurt your dog?

[ Like really Edgeworth, he might not paint the best of impressions but he isn't an animal abuser??? ] If anything, I was helping him have a good time.

[cestmagnifique]

[ Oh, yes...hello dog. Mitsuru, for the most part, just let's the dog do as it will. She's not entirely sure how she should react. As long Pess behaves herself? ]

Indeed. The thought that it's more than just a virtual reality experience has come to mind, but how it crosses over is something new, and a little disturbing.

[sayonaradumbass]

[Kaneda is too busy cooing rather embarrassingly at Pess either way]

That could be his middle name...or his alias.

[cresthopes]

Oh then that doesn't sound like it's too bad at all! I think I can do that!

[He said before pondering to himself] But it's going to be a really good treat if he'll listen.

[buttonedup]

( Aaand now her eyebrows knit, because as loath as she is to admit it, her arms crossing over her chest as though to reinforce her frustration, she answers: )

I don't know what that means.

( Guess who was mostly confused and bewildered by the powerpoint presentation? This woman right here. )

[geophile]

[ and rock slides! you can't forget rock slides - those are awesome. ]

Here in the colony, seven. Though I have many more of them in my home world.

[amanesuzuha]

That's true, it's part of the reason why I'm going to start to take notes on things I've learned. I want to learn as much as I can about this place, so I can be prepared for whatever happens.

[She feels Pess nudging at her hand, it sort of tickled so she lets out a small giggle before she softly strokes his fur.]

I'm sure we'll reach a proper conclusion eventually.
