estoria | dog day afternoon [OPEN]

Who: Miles Edgeworth, his faithful canine sidekick Pess, and YOU!
When: Any day after the intro log.
Where: Errywhere, pretty much. See prompts for locations.
What: Edgeworth takes his dog around, and runs into people. Adorbs ensues.
Rating/Warning: Dog. Grumpy prosecutor being a little less grumpy.

[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!]

[ Mitsuru hesitates for a moment, before she eventually offers her hand for the dog to sniff. That is acceptable, right? ]

Despite the time I've spent here, there's still a lot I have to learn about ViViD. I'm not very experienced with video game dynamics.

[Pess can't take it anymore. He starts tailing the butterfly, nosing along on the ground after it and then leaping up when it takes off to circle.]

Pess.

[Edgeworth's tone is a warning. His voice is even but firm, and this time he doesn't have the added element of wondering what on earth that butterfly was doing. The dog halts, perking up his ears but continuing to watch the butterfly weave this way and that.]

Athena Cykes has actually compiled a document detailing the events that have happened since the very first batch of newcomers arrived.

[Athena could surely use the help.]

I've contributed some of my notes to her cause; she would appreciate help for any future incidents.

Impressive.

[His eyes are wider now.]

But admittedly, I'd...rather keep Pess away from battle, whenever possible. [Yyyyyeah. Even if it means no retrieved drool-coated items for him after a fight.]

[He has no time for this. Edgeworth makes a noise that is a cross between a sigh and a snarl. More sigh than snarl, certainly, but the snarl is there, right at the end.

Someone has reached the end of his patience.]

Tsk. This is a waste of time. [He gestures to Pess.] Come, Pess. [Then he starts walking away. The dog stares up longingly at Kaneda before trotting away behind Edgeworth.]

[Very much acceptable. Pess sniffs her hand, intrigued. Then he seems to smile before licking her fingers, sorry. Mitsuru might have time to draw her hand back when that pink tongue flashes.]

I only learned more about ViViD when I was playing for my dog. And I still have much more to learn.

[ There we go. Merlin grins stupidly when Pess' concentration breaks and turns to look at Edgeworth. ]

Even if you got it under control again, he still stopped for a minute.

Whaaaatever, Ruffles. Bye, Fido Pesscott Ravenger!

[as disappointed as he is to see the dog go, he'll move on, too. and maybe he's waving at the dog, shut up]

[ Pess, you're being a good dog. That is, until she gets that lick and Mitsuru pulls back instinctively! Goodness...she's not ready for this. ]

...I see. So your sole intentional was to retrieve this animal?

[you're so missing out on the drool goodness, edgeworth! truly an exquisite taste!]

Naturally.

[most normal and good owners wouldn't put their animal in danger willingly after all. flynn glances over toward pess with a smile. the pooch really seems the sort to try to play fetch with an enemy rather than fight them.]

He seems far more fitting to be a non-combative companion.

Athena Cykes, okay I'll do my best to keep her in mind then. I'll try to speak to her in the future if I find anything or want to ask her anything I've not spoken with you about already.

[She takes a moment to take out her cerevice and notes that name down for future reference and then puts it away again. She takes a small glance back at pess, smiles a little and gently pets his head.]

Sorry for not giving you much attention Pess! But this was important. Also [looking back at Edgeworth] Sorry if I've taken up too much of your time... you must get asked a lot by newcomers when they arrive.

[He shrugs, watching Pess. The dog is still watching the butterfly longingly and just lies down in the grass with a whine.

Ugh, he wanted to chase it.]

But that's not long enough for him to try and walk me, as you say.

[Pess doesn't mind, thankfully.]

That's quite all right. But yes, I've helped out several newcomers in the past.

[Pess stares up at her instinctively, and then blinks, looking almost...confused.]

That's correct.

[He might try to retrieve other things later on though.]

[Edgeworth nods vigorously, then smiles as he spreads his arms.]

If you earn enough credits while playing ViViD games, you could get Repede back.

[ He raises a hand to his mouth, the other hand holding his arm and winces. ]

But look at how sad he is now...

[Edgeworth sighs, his lips curling into an amused smile.]

I think I've made my point, so he should be allowed to carry on.

[Dogs will be dogs.]

[ He definitely didn't expect that outcome at all. It's visibly obvious with the look he gives him too. Edgeworth is even... smiling??? ]

You're serious?

[ What is even going on anymore... What is real... What is a lie... ]

I'm sure they were all grateful. [Even though he had said it was alright, She still seems a little nervous about taking up his time and a small grumble is heard from her stomach.]

S-sorry about that, I should probably get going for something to eat now. Looking forward to talking with you again in the future however!

[flynn smiles right back!]

He's already here, just with his other owner at the moment.

[so this world is already +1 awesome, blue dog.]

[ She does not speak dog. She needs Aigis. ]

The value of a companion cannot be measured monetarily. This must have been important to you.

I'm firm, but not heartless.

[Or is he?]

See you then, Suzuha.

[He nods; he shouldn't be keeping her for long.]

Oh? That's good to hear, then.

[Yes good. Dogs make all worlds awesome. Edgeworth kinda wants to meet this dog.]

I assume I may see him around in the future?

[Edgeworth nods solemnly.]

Indeed. Of course, the same goes for human companions, or any sort of companion.
