Reflecting on 3Step plot.

[rrbando_rambo]

Gee, thanks for having me, mun. I gotta wonder though, you got some rose colored glasses on or somethin'? You saw how many heroes there are in Paradise. I'm not one of them! I-I'm no hero! At least I don't think I am.

Naw, shucks, you're too kind. I'll give it mah best shot, as long as you believe in me I'll be the best Ranger I've ever been. I just hope I don't have to go it alone. I really work better as a team.

OHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD <3

[a_budget_issue]

... Be glad you couldn't hear the noise my mun just made when she saw you. It was really loud and annoying.

^_^ <3

[rrbando_rambo]

Uh, heh. Sorry mister. She scared of me or somethin'?

[a_budget_issue]

Nah, the opposite. She loves ya, apparently.

[rrbando_rambo]

Really!? I mean... yeeaaah, I knew that. It's great to hear from my fans.

[Behind pretending to have expected this, he was admittedly flattered that he had an admirer.]

My mun just asked if I was your mun's favorite too. o.O

[a_budget_issue]

Don't be ridiculous, I'm my mun's favorite.

... Unless ya meant out of your show, in which case she says it's a tie between you an' Chip.

[gamblingwithdistortion]

Small creature, if your heart yearns for the title of hero so be it! Heroes come in many forms, do not fret to add to the tally.

<3 This means so much coming from Centaur Man!

[rrbando_rambo]

WOW, do ya think so? [The robot's appearance intrigued him, and managed to instill him with a considerable amount of courage.] Yeah! I sure would love to be up there with all my friends doin' hero stuff like they do. I'd do anything for the team, but if I don't prove myself no one will take me seriously. What would Chip do? [The last sentence he had drawn more inward to himself than anything, but the fact remained that he was trying to fill his brother's shoes. Everyone looked up to Chip as a hero and a leader.]

[gamblingwithdistortion]

Proving oneself aye, is a task I can related to. My advice, try not to tackle situations you are unfit for, otherwise your peers will not think too highly of you. Instead find where your niche is in the group and work up. Pick on the weaknesses of the fellow heroes and see what your strong points can contribute to them.

[rrbando_rambo]

Dale was all ears, engrossed in the centaur's advice. It was like hearing his mentor speak, the retired police dog at the station. "Got it! Find my niche, contribute my strong points. Well, I'll try..." He shuffled around a bit. Recent events in Paradise had left him wounded physically, but he was still geared for a resistance mission he was going to be a part of. While he did want to participate he couldn't help but be afraid; it was going to be a warzone and he was still working on steeling his nerves. "Do you ever get scared?" Right now, Dale was looking a lot less confident than he had before.

[gamblingwithdistortion]

Ah little creature, the emotion of feeling scared is a natural reaction, even for a big centaur like myself. Plenty of times I have felt the pang of fear. In battle and off.

[hungeringthunder]

[There's a sickly looking mage staring hungrily at you, Dale.]

[rrbando_rambo]

Er, hi?

[He tried a friendly smile and wave, albeit while he was backing away slowly. Playing cute and cuddly animal usually rescued him from being a snack. That, or running.]

[hungeringthunder]

Don't go...

I'm just...so hungry...

[rrbando_rambo]

[Dale fished through his pockets to find something; it was the Rangerly thing to do. He responded with a peanut kernel, his very favorite snack, and held it up to the hungry mage, looking a little hesitant, but intent.]

Here ya go!

[Certainly the kernel was a snack for even the chipmunk but it was the thought that counted.]

[hungeringthunder]

[She stares flatly at Dale. With her appetite, a peanut kernel isn't even going to begin to sate her hunger.]

Don't tease me.

[sweetestdisposition]

Oh no, not you!

Admit it Donald, you're happy to see him. XD

[rrbando_rambo]

[Dale is smiling from ear to ear.]

HEEEEEY I remember you! [All the fond memories of eating Donald's food come rushing back for the sake of this thread. Canon and continuity be damned.]

You're the duck with the big fanny!

He's... glad it's just one of you two this time? That's kind of the same, right? ;)

[sweetestdisposition]

WAK! Why, you little... I don't have a big fanny!

Oh just you wait, I'm trying to coax Chip-mun out of hiding. >:D This is a happy reunion!

[rrbando_rambo]

[Donald gets all of Dale's tail wags.]

Aw it's okay big guy, think of alll the fires you can warm your bum on this winter with some maplewood!

[Dale chuckled. He was sorta hoping Donald would invite him over the enjoy a roaring fire with in the dead of December.]

OH MY GOODNESS A CHIP TOO AAHH THAT WOULD BE THE BEST

[sweetestdisposition]

Until you show up to ruin it, that is...

[not_onyourside]

Eef eet ees any consolation you are zhe best secret agent ever een my employ.

[Also the only one, but hey, who's he to judge?]

<3 Hello! It is good to see you again~ ^_^

[rrbando_rambo]

[Dale is wagging his tail in sheer elation.]

CHIEF! Do you want me to report? Or do you have something for me?

[Betraying his constant wiggling was the expression of soldierly responsiveness that came over him.]

You too! <3

[not_onyourside]

Non, you do not need to report. Zhere ees not much I can do, being no longer een zhat place. I assume you are still striving against zhe recent onslaught?

:3 Is RED Spy going to have a home?

[rrbando_rambo]

You got home safe? I'll let the others know if ya did.

[He continued his report.]

The rest of your team is in a bunker off the beaten road. The shopkeepers are all monsters now, but the bunker is safe. The monsters move in patrols and catch civilians after dark, but now the abductions happen whenever they see us. The dungeon where they're keeping resistance members as prisoners is rigged; I can't get in without alerting higher security. It looks really grim chief, but it's my secret agent's honor to follow in your footsteps.

[He proceeded to cross his heart and salute in a gestural oath to his chief who was surely worlds away by now.]

Not for a while. Too bust. /le sadness

[not_onyourside]

Ah oui. Safe and sound and none zhe worse for wear.

Hmm.. Eet will be difficult to break eento such a place eef even someone as small as yourself cannot get een. But perhaps zhere are ways of releasing prisoners wezzout besieging zhe place. Perhaps zhe resistance should take hostages and negotiate a trade.
