( Upon being thrusted into the compatibility booth, Edgeworth assesses his options and decides that the simplest way to both gather information and escape is to simply go along with the ridiculous game. By the time the second player is unceremoniously dumped in alongside him, Edgeworth already has his hand place against the panel, eager to get started.
He wonders what categories he will be presented with first. )

( After a couple of interactions with those who have been adversely affected by the fountain, Edgeworth has heightening suspicions when it comes to flowing chocolate. While he doesn't have enough decisive evidence to make a bigger deal of what he is happening, he will warn anyone who is eyeing off. )
I believe that the fountain might be poisoned.
( It's fortunate that he's never had much of a sweet tooth, because he can't believe this place has managed to ruin chocolate. )

( Edgeworth certainly has some feedback to offer regarding Kay's attempted whispering, but restrains himself for now. Time to focus on the matter at hand. Which...
He finds himself scrutinising the fountain again. )
You're seriously suggesting we allow people to drink from it and see what happens?

( Edgeworth pauses for a moment, tossing up between horse and dog. Dogs are, of course, loyal companions, appreciated by many, but horses are useful and efficient beasts, and this is what ultimately drives Edgeworth's decision to select horse.
He's disappointed to see his choice is incorrect, making a skeptical noise and a sidelong disbelieving glance when the woman's answer is revealed.
Their final selection of items for the first round appears on the screen:
stars, moon, sky. )

( Edgeworth scoffs. )
I simply value efficiency.
( He looks over the list of items, quickly selecting 'sun' as his preferred option because it is more difficult (although, unfortunately, nowhere near impossible) for criminals to operate in the daylight.
The next three items for the first round flash onto the screen:
blue, green, red.
Edgeworth doesn't even know why this carnival game even bothers asking this question. Red is obviously the best color. )

[Kerra looks at it for a moment, and then decides to push Stars.
It's what she'd pick. Being someone more at home in the stars than in any single sky. She'd been born on a moon, but that wasn't really where her heart belonged.]

We don't have forensic guys to analyze the chocolate, Mr. Edgeworth!
[But now that he mentions it, he has a point. Kay jumps back onto her feet, nearly upsetting a platter of octopus balls. She manages to steady it before a single ball can fall to the floor.]
Or...we could just ask around for people who've been eating the chocolate?

( It is true: their resources are seriously limited. Startled slightly by Kay's close call with the octopus balls, he rolls his shoulders. )
Witness statements are as good a place as any to begin. I've already talked with several people who have been afflicted.

Yes, sure. Ready when you are...
[Hand at the ready, she waits for the first category.
The questions are Doggy, Missionary, or Cowgirl/Boy.
And that makes her blink...]
...Uh...

Yeah? What'd they say?
[She's still behind the table, so she slowly tries to inch away and back to where Edgeworth is.]

Well, I can't complain about that. In any case...
[...you know, he's going to look at the options and then look at Edgeworth's outfit...]
Oh, I think we're going to have to disagree on this one.
[it's gotta be blue. ~water tribe~.]

( Edgeworth feels a flush crawl up his neck and all the way to the tip of his ears; they feel like they're burning. He hopes he doesn't sound as flustered as he is when he speaks: )
Ah. Hm. That is... certainly a personal question.
( He frowns as he attempts to make himself feel less awkward. )
We do not have to continue if you are uncomfortable.
( They'll find another way out of this booth, octopi be damned. )

( Well there's no accounting for taste. Edgeworth feels he makes his color preferences very clear indeed.
Finally, the third trio of options pop up:
cat, dog, bird.
Ah, another easy question. Edgeworth doesn't even have to hesitate before selecting 'dog'. )

It's fine. I don't really mind.
[It's not like she's a stranger to sex, though she can see he's uncomfortable, and won't press anything.]
Just caught me off guard. But...we can both just press the same thing. Skip the question?

Hm... well, it'd be nice to have pets in general, I think.
[...he's admittedly gonna go for bird though because he can at least put bird feeders outside his nice fancy apartment back home...]

( It says something about Edgeworth as a person that cheating hadn't even crossed his mind as a potential option. This is just a silly game that he didn't even want to participate in, so what is the harm... ?)
Yes, let's try that. Which option are we selecting?
Yes, let's try that. Which option are we selecting?
Cow Girl/Boy? It's the most...egalitarian?
[She thinks. That's definitely not a name she's familiar with. Actually none of these are.]

[Kay stops once she's back within comfortable conversational distance of Edgeworth and squints at him.]
Are you sure that isn't puppy love or a sudden crush or something?

Did you have any back home?
( At least that's a sentiment they can both agree on!
However, it's at this moment that their results from the first round flash onto the screen, and even though this is a silly game Edgeworth absolutely does not care about, he's disappointed nonetheless to see they've scored 0/3. )
We'll need to work harder on the second round, I see.

[She does the same. It...doesn't buzz or freak out. Just begins to queue up the next question.]
Bets on it being something bizarre again?

Yeah...
[She doesn't actually know what these are. Since space person. But she can accept it.]
I'll pick apple. that sounds fine and safe.
