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!]

Awwww, this must be Pess!

Hi, Pess, nice to meet you!

[NEW DOGS.]

Yes, this is Pess.

[When Zwei says hello, Pess says hello right back and reverts back to cheerful mode in no time, eager to sniff and pant and yip.

New fellow dog friend!!!

Edgeworth has calmed down, at least. He's in a better mood. Dogs put him in good moods.]

And he's even cuter than you said! He must be a total chick magnet.

[ HI PUPPY.... ]

Yeah! Big, fluffy, yellow chicks must follow him around everywhere!

[...ruby no....]

[Pess prances toward Yang and Ruby, hopping up onto their legs, panting and basically begging for pets and attention MORE NEW FRIENDS!!! He is completely oblivious to the turn this conversation has taken.]

I...would prefer that he not be followed by any kind of chicks.

[Isn't that kinda weird and stalkery...]

... Well, at least the yellow and fluffy kind are cute.

[ Hello though, puppy, she's just going to rub behind your ears now. ]

Awww, Mr. Edgeworth, would you be jealous if he did?

[ARE YOU CLINGY, EDGEWORTH...]

[Ooh yes, Pess likes all that sweet rubbing, Yang. His tail starts wagging at Mach speed, he's leaning in as if telling her to please rub his neck and his back too.]

Hmph. Of course not. [Edgeworth grins, and shakes his head. He does squat to Zwei's level to pet the smaller dog.] Although I'd be concerned if he tried to take them home.

[He and England are already dealing with a dog and a mint-colored talking bunny. That's enough for an apartment.]

[ Zwei goes into a frenzy of happy barking and butt-wriggling, because who has a tail-- ATTENTION. And Yang will provide as much for Pess, yes, she'll get your back too. ]

A home full of chicks...

... That's hard to imagine with you.

... It kind of is, isn't it? But also now we know that Mr. Edgeworth is the sort of person who likes small, fluffy things, soooo.

[And, she lowers her voice conspiratorially, even as she pats Pess on the head:]

I can see it.

[Girls, what have you done, Pess won't leave you now. He's so happy that he'll just...roll over and expose his belly for them to scratch.]

What? I never said that...

[WHAT'S GOING ON.]

You have a dog and you're weak to Zwei-- small fluffy things everywhere!

[ Nailed it. ]

[She's just pointing to Yang.]

What she said.

[Duh.]

Pess isn't small.

[He's large enough for Zwei to hitch a ride on him.]

And I'm not very fond of fluffy animals smaller than Zwei. [Yeah, Edgeworth isn't the hamster type.]

So no bunnies?

[ Or chicks... aww. ]

Huh... good thing you're Zwei-sized, Zwei.

[that's said to Zwei.

Who barks happily.]

[How does he say this? He doesn't hate bunnies or any small(er) fluffy beings, but...dogs were just better.]

I just...prefer dogs over any other fluffy animal. But I wouldn't say I dislike bunnies.

In any case, I'd rather not burden my roommate with another pet.

Does your roommate not like fluffy things?

[ Because that's terrible. ]

That is a tragedy.

[Don't worry, Ruby will say it.]

He already has a fluffy thing of his own. That's all.

[Edgeworth shrugs calmly.]

Ooh, he does? What is it??

[ GO ON. ]

[YES DO TELL...she's just equally sparkly over this.]

It may sound hard to believe [And yet, so many hard-to-believe things have happened to him.] but it's a mint-colored flying rabbit.

[Well, he says it so matter-of-factly that there's no doubt.]

Okay. Does it have wings?

[ SURE WHY NOT?? ]

And can we meet it?

[MINT COLORED FLYING RABBIT??? CUTE?]
