52: The Aftermath

[samuraiprosecutor]

Thanks to my idiot brother, my dog seems to have developed a taste for alcohol. Though I suppose additional thanks are due to those of you who left the remains of your beverages within easy reach. Sigi's walk this morning was certainly an eventful one.

Your idiot brother? Is that some kind of affectionate insult?

[attorneyatlol]

...wait, he gave your dog beer? Is that safe?

[samuraiprosecutor]

It's hardly intended to be affectionate.

As safe as it is for any other animal, apparently, and it produces much the same effect. It took Sigi over an hour to sober up.

Aw, a little beer never hurt anyone. Besides, I had to keep him quiet!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Perhaps the beer didn't hurt him, but I'm sure the dozen times he walked into large, immovable objects did.

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Pfft.. What, you let him out of his cage while he was drunk!? What kinda irresponsible pet owner are you?

[timey_wimey]

Brother?!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Unfortunately.

But wait, I thought that it was Larry... who...

Oh, don't tell me you're affected too, Edgeworth.

Someone gave Sigi alcohol?! That's terrible!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Indeed. The responsible party deserves to be chastised severely. ...Perhaps you can aid me in doing so.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Yes! I would love to help you with that, Mr. Edgeworth! People should know better than to give animals something like that!

What?! Someone fed your dog alcohol?! Who?!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Larry Butz. I believe you've met.

[aguyyoucantrust.livejournal.com]

Oh, that guy, huh? You know, sir, that doesn't really surprise me, for some rea -

Wait. Um, didn't you say that your brother did it, sir?

Hehe, Edgeworth, your dog's a lightweight! Larry only put a little--

[tourmalinefey.livejournal.com]

Wait, brother?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Most are, when exposed to alcohol for the first time. Especially those that weigh only 70lbs.

Brother. You weren't aware?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

So I'm not the only one he got smashed, huh?

[samuraiprosecutor]

You had a choice in the matter. Despite the hand Larry played in it, you got yourself 'smashed.'

Sigi, on the other hand, was an innocent victim.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I wouldn't have if-- Larry's the one who--

...

I hate it when you're right.

[glowy-brows.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but that is just a little bit funny. But I don't recommend getting your dog drunk on a regular basis.

Don't look at me! I finished off everything I drank and put the glasses in the dishwasher! Mom taught me if you make a mess, you clean it up.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Sigi didn't seem to find it at all amusing. ...And I didn't get him drunk. The fault for that lies entirely on Larry.

If only my brother had learned the same lesson.
