[ The feed sputters on to one Miles Edgeworth giving the network the most confused face. ]

I woke up this morning and went outside for a walk... did the hotel in Olivine always have this wriggling piece of plywood outside its doors?

[ He pans the camera around to show a ragged-looking mascot dancing pitifully, on and on. ]

[bakaitoukid]

I-- er. Has it talked?

[miniworth]

Not yet.

[bakaitoukid]

Then maybe it's not.

[miniworth]

It could be a robot. I knew someone here who was one..

[bakaitoukid]

I've talked to a robot here, too.

... 's a weird robot.

[miniworth]

It's been dancing nonstop...

[bakaitoukid]

[just. tilts his head. stares at it some more...]

[miniworth]

[ Does the Badger change its movement pattern?

Nope. But it looks like it's crying with that lopsided eye ;;

And Miles is staring at it too. It's oddly intriguing... ]

[bakaitoukid]

We should name it.

[miniworth]

Mm..? [ He blinks. ] What should we name it?

[bakaitoukid]

I dunno. [headtilt]

Something unique!

[miniworth]

Something unique.. [ He'd never been good at names. Kaito gets an eyeful of shota thinking very, very hard. ]

[bakaitoukid]

Dancin' Mannequin.

[miniworth]

[ :|a-face. ] Isn't that.. exactly what it is put in fancy vocabulary?

[bakaitoukid]

And it rhymes!

[miniworth]

[ a beat ] Dancin' Mannequin.

[bakaitoukid]

[:D?]

[miniworth]

.......

I guess it works.

[bakaitoukid]

We can call him DM for short.

[miniworth]

[ He's nodding! ]

[bakaitoukid]

[clearing his throat to sound official]

I hereby dub you Dancin' Mannequin, DM for short! What say you about your new name?

[miniworth]

[ Miles lets DM dance for the camera. Please interpret that as an approval, Kaito. ]

[bakaitoukid]

I think he likes it.

[miniworth]

I think so too. [ He'll give it a nickname later. ]

[bakaitoukid]

[But Kaito likes his nickname :(]

I wonder how long he'll be there?
