Look too hard and you might get your nose stuck, little furball.

[rrbando_rambo]

[He reached almost mechanically to cup his nose beneath the palms of his hands. A sheepish chuckle came next.]

Aww, who you callin' a furball? I don't stick my nose anywhere it don't belong. [His nose, as you might guess, was his pride and joy.]

Heeey, you wouldn't happen to be one of them big robots Oswald mentioned wouldya?

[sweet_riiiiims]

No, really? Me? A giant mech?

[Something as small and sensitive as you deserves all the snark.]

[rrbando_rambo]

[Fortunately Dale was no stranger to the concept of sarcasm, embodied in his friend and self-proclaimed brother Chip. So he trolled right back.]

Well what else could you be? I ain't santa claus and you aren't toy-sized like me.
Any ol' dummy can see you're spiffier than a swiss army knife.

[He appended the last statement in case the big guy wasn't receptive to being on the receiving end of sarcasm. Flattery usually worked well.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

[Man you know how to stroke his ego, you might live just yet.]

And more equipped, too.

[Wanna see his rotary saw?]

[rrbando_rambo]

[Rotary saw and all, Dale thought Knockout was swell.]

Wow, Neato! What else can ya do?

[aand cue the adorable tail wag.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

Just about anything your standard bot can't do.

Solder, drill, buff, upgrade, slice-and-dice, and my favorite is a little shock therapy.

[rrbando_rambo]

Cool! Seems,er...effective!

Sounds like you've had to hurt someone in your line of work.

[Bot be warned, Dale was a good guy through and through. Anything that sounded so harsh was the last thing on his mind.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

More like improved their looks~

I'm a cosmetic surgeon through-and-through.

[rrbando_rambo]

“Huh?” He stifled back a snicker but the beginnings of a smile were evident.

“If you’re a cosmetic surgeon, does that mean you work at some kinna robot salon? Or are ya one of them repo types?”

[sweet_riiiiims]

My office is more rustic, but you get the point. I dabble in both~

And just what is your...occupation?

[rrbando_rambo]

A robot who had other occupations besides fighting crime, or villainy which could be the case. This was one instance where Dale’s knowledge of comic book conventions didn’t apply.

“I’m just glad I’m not made of machinery. I’d hate to be on the other end of your buzzsaw, big guy.”

As far as his own occupation, the chipmunk knew it by heart.

“I’m a Rescue Ranger! We help people.”

Knockout could certainly make out the kind intentions in his voice. That and the cloyingly sweet smile that Dale wore more often then not.
