---

[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!]

[Kaneda is captivated by those puppy dog eyes....sweating, even

maybe if he just ignores him]

Huuuh...it sure is a lovely day out here! Yup. The breeze and shit.

[bruiserprincess]

Robot dogs are good too. One of my friends at home has a robot dinosaur.

[She says it so casually. While taking Pess's hint to pet his whole body.]

What's his name?

C

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu is totally going to play with the surprise doge. He's been running into a lot lately, first Zwei and now Pess. He'll tilt his head to the side at the lone stick dropped at his feet and with a rather solemn look he will throw it far out into the grass field of the gardens.

Kousetsu looks so serious about it, you have to wonder if he's actually playing fetch at all. ]

[flaredo]

No prob-- oh hey, is this the dog you were talking about?

[ Logical guess, really, even as Zwei prances over to say hello. ]

[majinken]

[stahn's just got that natural way about him. but that's fine, he doesn't mind the dog slobber at all. he's actually pretty quick to just sit right there on there on the ground and give pess free rein to just... jump around and give doggy kisses.

stahn's having a good old time with it, laughing even as he continues the casual line of conversation with edgeworth.]

It's pretty weird, isn't it? I thought there'd be more animals around here! [non-robot ones, he means, obviously. animals are totally his jam.]

[prosecutory]

[There has been an influx of real actual dogs lately, which is always a good thing. Anyway, Pess is so happy that he leaps into the air before running after the stick.

When he comes back, however, he is pursued by this man, jogging alongside his dog and curious as to who had started a game of fetch with Pess. When Edgeworth sees Kousetsu and how Pess dutifully brings him the stick, he nods. There's the mystery stick thrower. One of those...sword people?]

Good afternoon.

[usefulanalysis]

[Well! Consider Ema surprised! Doggy running up to her and hopping up onto her legs! She grins and reaches down to ruffle his head, quite happy for that.]

Why hello there!

[When Edgeworth appears and calms the pup down, Ema looks up at him with stars in her eyes.]

You have a dog?!

[prosecutory]

Hello, Tadashi.

[Meeting a new friend, that's what Demo's been doing. Pess gets off Edgeworth and starts barking excitedly at Demo, jumping around, wanting to play.]

And...this is Pess, my pet dog from home.

[prosecutory]

[Pess is also having a good time. His master should get out more often!]

There are, outside the colony...although they're much stranger and some are less likely to kill us than greet us.

[prosecutory]

[So she's from that kind of world? Edgeworth brushes that aside; he's already used to people coming from all sorts of worlds, including worlds with robot dinosaurs presumably more intricate than those toys in stores.]

His name is Pess.

[He's amused, watching his pet hit it off right away with the girl.]

[prosecutory]

[Pess lies down in the grass, tail switching from side to side, looking up expectantly. He even gives a believable little whine.

Throw the stick, Kaneda. Throw the stick.]

[prosecutory]

[Pess continues jumping up all over England, absolutely ecstatic. If he could speak, he would be saying the same thing as the fairy.

All that commotion soon wake Edgeworth, and he blearily stumbles out of his room to see what has gotten everyone into a tizzy. He's still too groggy to think about where his roommate has been, so when he joins the scene, he's rubbing his eyes and clad in pale pink pajamas.]

What's going - [He yawns, and squints before switching on the nearest light.] Arthur...?

[prosecutory]

[Pess is panting and from the look on his face, he's itching for more ruffling even though he has decided to sit quietly at Edgeworth's command.]

Yes, I do. I've had him for years now.

[bropane]

[ he lights up and smiles when tadashi is introduced to pess. what a cute guy! he even bends down to pat the dog. ]

Nice to meet you, Pess!

[ and he waits... and waits... then blinks. ]

Oh, right. Not a CYbuddy. Can't talk.

[ and he laughs. meanwhile, demo sits next to his owner. ]

[unionjackoff]

[England is just trying desperately to keep Pess quiet, but it looks like he's too late. Edgeworth is already awake, and England almost pales when he turns on the light]

Y-y-yes? [he responds, his firmly keeping the dog at bay] It's me! Sorry to wake you.

[prosecutory]

[He has gotten too used to life here in Cerealia.]

[Pess wags his tail happily, looking up at Tadashi. Sweet, head pat!]

It's clear that he's happy to meet you too, in any case.

[prosecutory]

[Pess calms down at England's touch, thankfully. This time. He sits obediently on the floor, watching the two men expectantly.

Brain power loading, 20...21...bam, 100%.]

Wh - where have you been?!

[Boom. There it goes. The bulb over his head brightens at last and his brain is in full throttle despite being sleepy moments ago.]

[unionjackoff]

[there it was! England better come up with a good excuse. the moment he starts thinking of telling Edgeworth where he's actually been, his throat starts to feel tight. weird.

the fairy perches beside Pess, also curious, and England holds up his hands in a placating manner] ...I know, I know. I should have sent you a message. But. I've been staying at a friend's house.

[..........really, England? that's the best you could do? that just opens you up for more questions!]

[bropane]

And I guess Demo's introduced himself?

[ he looks at his dog and he nods excitedly. okay, cool. ]

Good to see actual animals around here.

[usefulanalysis]

Gosh! He's so cute, Mister Edgeworth! Is it...okay if I pet him?

[He doesn't seem like a mean dog, but it is better to ask permission!]

[majinken]

That's not really the same though, right? There's not really anything like dogs or cats, or even...

[wait a sec. he pauses from playing with pess for a second as a realization hits.] If there aren't any animals, how do we have milk, cheese, and meat? Or... wool...

[how does that work?]

[undaunts]

Awwww, this must be Pess!

Hi, Pess, nice to meet you!

[NEW DOGS.]

[cresthopes]

[Hey, don't judge him! He just misses his brother a lot!

But as Takeru looked down at Pess and his CYBuddy, Patamon just giggled]

What about me huh? Don't tell me you forgot about dear old Patamon!

[sayonaradumbass]

[NO HELP

ITS BUTT IS WIGGLING??? AND HE'S WHINING?? HES WINNING

FUCK]

Dammit...

[jerkily, reluctantly, with an attitude, he picks up a stick and tosses it as far as he can]

c!

[thatdamnknight]

[the last thing flynn expected while out on patrol today is something running over to him and dropping a ball at his feet. a dog? and not a cybuddy, but an actual dog? how rare. he smiles as he picks up the ball. having a dog himself (if one a bit more unorthodox than this one due to being large and blue and capable of wielding a dagger) means understanding what it is this one wants. no pleading puppy eyes necessary!]

All right, but just until your owner comes for you.

[and chances are that they will soon. people in a world without any actual animals aren't likely to just abandon them. if no one comes soon then flynn'll attempt to locate the owner himself. for now, though, he tosses that ball and plays with the pooch. a little fun sounds nice and can't hurt.]
