First post, whoo!

[There's what seems to be a hobo asleep on a bench, not-so-quietly snoring. Leave him be? Bother him? Push him off? ...Give him 20 bucks?]

[Edgeworth has one better: DRAG HIM SHOPPING. But honestly, a bench? Horrible.]

Wright... Are you seriously...?

[Oh god he really is asleep. ...He taps him on the shoulder.]

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Yes, he's seriously sleeping on a bench. Unfortunately, he's learned to withstand small pokes like that when sleeping (having a loud teenage daughter and all), just mumbling and going back to snoozing.]

...mm, need more pudding...

[frilly-da.livejournal.com]

[...He taps him on the shoulder again, speaking a little more loudly this time.]

Wright? Wake up! This is really no place to be sleeping.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Alright, alright, fine. He straightens up, blinking a few times.]

...Oh. Morning, Edgeworth.

[frilly-da.livejournal.com]

...Good morning, Wright. I hope you slept well. [Saaaarcasm.]

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Very well, actually. Thanks for asking.

[Right back at'cha. ...Though he might not be joking as much as he sounds like he is.]

[frilly-da.livejournal.com]

Wright, aren't you aware you could be arrested for sleeping out here?

[Oh, wait. Weren't you also wearing the same thing last time he saw you!?]

And don't you have any other sets of clothes!?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Those noodles were so filling and this bench looked comfortable. What can I say?

[Phoenix looks down at himself as a stands up, dusting off his clothes.]

...Somewhere...

[frilly-da.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

...Wright, what would you say if I offered to accompany you on a trip to the department store? You can't go around dressed like that... It's improper.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

I see nothing wrong with it, but... if you insist.

[frilly-da.livejournal.com]

Alright. Excellent.

[Hey, that was easier than expected.]

Where would you like to go?

1/2

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Don't do a victory dance too soon, Edgeworth.]

Hm...

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Wherever's cheapest.

YOU DIDN'T SAY IT WAS CLOSED-

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[How about staring for a few seconds, before raising a leg and settling it firmly on his leg. Adachi can't even be bothered to take his hands out from his pocket, and simply shoves the hobo on the bench like that.]

Hey, you, stop mucking up public property, huh?

but of course it's not closed psssh (also lol noticing this late)

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

...

[A snort, and Phoenix just turns over and goes back to sleep.]

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[He'll give him credit where it's due - it's a pretty resilient hobo. Maybe they get thicker skin, sleeping in the streets all the time? He presses his heel in a little harder.]

I could arrest you for disturbing the peace, you know.

[Even if Adachi should be the one getting arrested for that.]

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[The hobo finally stirs, looking up groggily.]

...Mmsorry?

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[Figures. The guy looks like an unshaven bum. Adachi raises his brow, clearly looking unimpressed, and stares down.]

It's not safe to sleep in the middle of the park like that. Y'could get mugged or something.

[A pause.]

If you had something to steal.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[A casual smile, Phoenix straightening.]

I'll try to be more careful next time, officer.

[Then a tilt of his head.]

I leave my valuables at home.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[And as he has the tendency to do, Adachi just simply blurts out what he's thinking without really...well, thinking about it.]

You have valuables? Like...a shopping cart, or something?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

My shopping cart, newspaper, cardboard box... The essentials.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

Sorry, sir, but that's called littering, and that's against the law too.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Phoenix only looks more amused.]

I know all about the law, officer.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

Really?

Like how to file for unemployment benefits?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about being unemployed?
