I need a little advice...

Thanks to Mr. Edgeworth's party, I have a bit of extra money to throw around and buy something special for myself. After thinking on it and seeing a few journals around here, I've decided that I want to get a pet!

My only problem is that I've never had any real pets before (pet rocks don't count, right sir?), and I'm not

You should get a turtle, pal! They're kinda cute and easy to take care of, so they'd make a great first pet!

And you can't really ask for something more durable than an animal that can hide inside a shell, right?

[miles_distant]

Hah. It looks like we had the same idea, Detective.

[unlucky_byrde]

A turtle, sir?

But they are so cute! You really think I could take care of one properly?

[officerscruffy]

Sure ya could! My parents had a turtle when I was a kid, it's really not that hard! Ya just gotta pay attention to it and make sure it's healthy, that's all!

[miles_distant]

Durable...? The only pet I could think of that could be considered durable is a turtle.

[unlucky_byrde]

I don't know anything about turtles, sir, but if both you and Detective Gumshoe think that is a good pet for me, I'll look into it!

Do you know anything about turtles, Mr. Edgeworth?

[miles_distant]

Not particularly, but looking into it online, it perhaps is a larger commitment than I thought. Apparently amphibians take quite a lot of effort to take care of and turtles live for quite a long time... I would ask a professional about it, rather than me.

There's always another option. I don't know much about cats, but they're supposed to be quite self-sufficient, if your difficulty is having time to care for an animal. I'm really not sure I know what you meant by durable.

[unlucky_byrde]

A cat, sir? Hmm, I don't know if I could handle a cat, but then again I really don't know much about them either. Looking online is probably a really good idea!

And by durable I mean something that won't be affected by my bad luck! Like, the last plant I got... I really didn't know it was possible to over water a plant, sir. Does that still make it my fault..?

Oh lá lá, Mademoiselle Maggey! Naturellement, I would recommend la lovely penguin. Zey are trés adorable and smart! And you can dress zem up to look la fantastique, non?

[unlucky_byrde]

...

A penguin, sir?

[la_pretty_girl]

Oui, oui!

Do you not like penguins, Maggey? I promise, zey are trés magnifique!

[unlucky_byrde]

Well, a penguin would be a pretty interesting pet, but I don't think it would like living in my freezer.

And I don't know if that would be in my price range, sir. Wouldn't that be really expensive just to get one?

[just_robes]

I would recommend a cat, Miss Byrde. I used to own one myself... I could never find him when there was trouble. They are quite good at staying out of the way.

[unlucky_byrde]

Really? That sounds great, sir! I think a cat is really up high on the list now!

[autodidakt]

You were at Mr. Edgeworth's party as well? I'm afraid I missed you there.

I've always been very fond of pet birds myself. They require as much care as any other pet, but are a bit more easily contained.

[unlucky_byrde]

Oh, I must have missed you too, sir! Maggey Byrde.

I was dressed up as Robin there. Maybe I met you in costume..?

[autodidakt]

I don't believe so... I was dressed Mask de Masque. I think I would have remembered running into any vigilantes.

My name is Kristoph Gavin, and I'm a defense attorney.

[unlucky_byrde]

Wow! Mask de Masque? I definitely didn't see you there, sir, but I bet your costume was amazing!

I work as a waitress at the Rusty Gust Saloon.

A defense attorney, sir? Do you know Mr. Phoenix Wright?
