House 69: [Open to all]

[In the week following the riots, Miles came home to find that not only had his shared residence been raided and looted, it had also been burnt in places. He was grateful that he and his housemate had decided to vacate the property during the early days, though he had a dislocated shoulder and three cracked ribs to show for. However, it would have been far far worse if they had been caught inside while the flames were going. He counted his blessings.

Still, it was frustrating to have his home vandalized for the second time in the six months that he had lived here. He was going to have to work harder and move to a better area soon.

If he were to have any visitors they would see him attempting to clean off graffiti on the exterior of the house. There was a small pomeranian running about underfoot yapping excitedly as he worked. It was obvious that he was straining when reaching, only to stop and clutch at his torso, cursing in a loud string of colorful German.]

Please don’t give me that look!

[Was he talking to the dog? Who knew?]

_{[At least it's a happy little dog.]}

Did you want help?

_{[It's the least he can offer.]}

[milesedgelord]

[He loathed asking for help in general, but with the state he was in, it would be in his best interest to accept it.]

I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

[He looked over to his open doorway, where his housemate had left a stepladder for him to use if necessary. The problem was that it was far too heavy to drag out by himself.

Er... Would you perhaps be able to grab that ladder over there, for me?

[yelliot]

Sure, of course.

_{[It's not a terribly complicated request and seeing as Elliot offered, he sees no reason not to comply. Giving him a nod he moves to grab the ladder without hesitation, returning back to where Edgeworth is a moment later.]}

Where would you like it set?

[milesedgelord]

Thank you.

[He moved a bit so that there was space to place the stepladder in front of the graffiti.]

Right here would be perfect. I may need you to get the marking up high and I can take care of the ones down here.

I swear I don't understand the pleasure people take in trashing another's home.

[yelliot]

_{[Ask and ye shall receive, Edgeworth. Elliot wastes no time setting the ladder where he's told, making sure it's set down properly and won't be wobbly.]}

I can do that.

_{[Why not? It's not like he has anything better to do.]}

I don't understand it either. It's so uncivilized. If you have the desire to trash something, trash your own place.

[milesedgelord]

[What a helpful kid. Miles grunted slightly as he knelt down beside the ladder, beginning to scrub away at some of the marks.]

Precisely! I don't see the need to destroy someone else's private property and ransack everything, no matter how frustrated you are. Most of the people who are suffering the effects are the ones who aren't in control of anything. So what is the purpose of all of this?

Its all essentially meaningless, as well as uncivilized as you previously stated.

Have you been residing here long?
