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!]

[ what tadashi drops, or in this case, intentionally throws a few feet away from him is a ball. and what comes after it is not tadashi, but a miniature st. bernard cybuddy! demo, the cybuddy, sees pess and barks at him before speaking: ]

Hello! My name is Demo.

[Well, Takeru isn't going to say no to that! In fact, with his own CyBuddy walking on right him, he just started laughing]

That's okay, I don't mind! I don't think Yamutto minds either!

[Yes, that's his dog's name]

[Molly is usually wary of strange adults. But... dog. If the dog is going to come say hi, she's going to pet him. It was only fair. And giggle at the enthusiastic greeting.]

It's okay, I like meeting new dogs.

[on the morning of the fourth, England wakes up finally. he's disoriented, doesn't even know what day it is. all he can think about are the last few moments of his life...

that's right. he was...

the first thing he needs to do is get home. ...no, the first thing he should probably do is think up the excuse he's going to tell Edgeworth when he gets back to the apartment after missing for a few days. the guy's a lawyer, he'll be able to tell if anything sounds fishy.

but England is quite certain he won't be able to tell Edgeworth anything, so... maybe he'll look convincing when he's lying? he's pretty good at that, hiding the truth.

in any case, he finds a place to wash his face before trudging home. it's still dark outside so it must be late. his CereVice still works like a key to get him into the apartment... what he wasn't expecting was the dog]

[Alice was sitting on the bench in the police station, sighing in absolute and utter boredom as she waited for Integra. Her feet were kicking back and forth and she had already finished all her homework from the Academy. She had started drawing and coloring instead. One of her colored pencils rolled away and she started to set everything aside to go get it, only Pess beat her to it.]

Oh! Why thank you so much! You're such a good dog! [She started to scratch and pet him behind the ears and smiled bright.] Ah, are you one of those doggies they use to run after nasty criminals? You must be such a brave dog!

[it doesn't matter, really, why Kaneda's in the gardens. It certainly isn't for the sightseeing or anything, or the healthy air.

Either way, when he's approached by Press, he'll stare at him for a couple of seconds, and then dutifully ignore the little guy.]

No....no, shoo...go find a girl to hump. Go on.

[ But why would anyone stop him, when there is a little black-and-gray corgi trotting over to join him gamely in whizzing on the robot.

And then there's Yang, coming to haul him away, Ruby somewhere behind her. ]

Hey--! What'll you do if you get yourself zapped doing that??

[if edgeworth hadn't said no, stahn would have been completely content to play with pess with the same level of enthusiasm.

but it's fine though, because even once he's calmed a bit, stahn will still crouch to his level, smiling and laughing a bit. excited dog can have some vigorous headpats from human-puppy incarnate himself.]

It's fine! He seems like he's really friendly. You don't see too many things like that around here! [you know, real animals. it's refreshing.]

( Cassandra has not been here very long - a week, maybe less - and she's still doing her best to get used to her new surroundings. She mislikes this place; it is too clean, too perfect on the outside not to be hiding secrets and corruption. While she's not dressed in her full armour, even in her leathers she looks somewhat out of place. She has never been one to pay much attention to fashion, but even she knew she stood out here, and she wasn't sure how comfortable she truly was with that.

She's making a mental map of the streets when her concentration is scattered by the sound of bounding paws, and before she can even turn around, or draw her sword from its sheath (a force of habit), the dog has leapt up on her, tail wagging madly.

This is no Fereldan warhound but all the same, the dog is quick to respond to his master's commands, sitting back on his haunches with not so much as a whinny, although the grin on his face makes it clear that he had his way, Cassandra's face would be covered with slobbery, canine kisses. )

It's fine. ( She says, eyes trained on the man as she slides her sword back into the scabbard, having made it a third of the way out before she had analysed the situation. ) You've trained him well.

( Despite the compliment, Cassandra still eyes the dog warily, as though at any moment something may tempt it to act out irrationally. She's never really been much of an animal person. )

[ A wild DOGE appeared!

okay, that's not how this is going to go down. it's not his first time encountering an excited dog while on a stroll with his own companion, but this little pooch seems pretty excited! steven doesn't falter when she hops up on her hind legs to paw at his thigh - on the contrairy, he'll be more than happy to give her a scratch behind the ears. ]

You're a feisty one, aren't you?

[ he'll look up when he hears a voice, and it does belong to a face that he recognizes - he fought alongside this man in ViViD back when he arrived. they had never exchanged names, but the way he holds himself intrigues steven. aron looks on as well, tilting her head curiously at dog and owner. ]

It's quite alright. As long as he's friendly, there's nothing to worry about.

[ 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. ]

[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?!

[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.]

[ Did you know that Jaune is probably the only human in Cerealia doing a job that any robot can do for less? That's right, he's a street sweeper! So what do you think he'll do when he sees doge attempting to pee on a robot that's trying to put Jaune out of business?

Encourage it. ]

T-That's right, you show them, buddy... oh, I hope it stains for a week, c'mon now... no time for stage fright...!!

[ It's not very often you get to see dogs running around. At least from what he's seen here, there aren't actually all too many animals. That's why it's such a surprise when Pess bounds over with a ball in his mouth, wagging his tail because he wants to play. Merlin does take a moment to see if he can spot the owner, but as he can't see anyone right away he decides it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun.

There's still some wariness when he takes the ball that Pess suddenly drops, but then he's flipping his hand over, palm flattening to view the ball properly. ]

After three, ready? [ He looks down at the dog, then around the gardens to make sure no one is watching, then as soon as he looks at the ball in his hand his eyes flash gold and it's floating.

That sure is a flying ball. ]

Go get it then. [ Only it's hardly going in a straight line and the poor dog may end up out of breath as he chases the ball in actual circles, or who knows, maybe he's too smart to deal with this and will just judge him for trying to make it a challenge. ]

[She gets a little bit of a fright when the dog runs up to her. She didn't expect to see Pess at all! She had just been running a bit in the gardens and then, poof dog!

She bends down towards him and goes to pet his head, before she notices the stick.]

Oh, I see. You want to play huh?

[She grabs hold of the stick, then stands up] Alright then, catch it if you can! [And she throws the stick as straight as she can in the opposite direction.]

[ The residential district is where Mitsuru has been spending most of her time. Between her living quarters and her current place of employment, it's easy enough to travel back and forth and leave herself to her thoughts. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's alone. She pays no mind to the man and his dog...that is, until it begins barking at her.

Immediately on guard, Mitsuru jumps and immediately straightens as if she's never been barked at before. ]

...!

[ Her gaze immediately falls to the unmistakably friendly face of the pooch, though Mitsuru doesn't appear to really know what to do about it. At Edgeworth's apology, Mitsuru shakes her head, just...kind of staring down. ]

...Yes, I can tell.

[ She doesn't sound unfriendly, just...awkward. ]

[ oh... what's easier for milla to handle than people? not people. so when pess does his excited NEW FRIEND!! routine, her reaction isn't to scream bloody murder and then get as far away as possible. instead, she crouches down.

... actually, she doesn't even notice edgeworth at first. it's pretty clear in the way she jumps a tad when he does speak. all she had was Cute Animal on the mind. ]

At least one of us does. [ hA... ha. she's blunt as hell and including herself in the Anti-Social Circle without shame.

as she pets pess: ] ... Long time no see.
