"Pfft, I don't need anyone tellin' me what to do."
Rumble chuckled and added a bit of thyme to the salmon. The pan and oil continued to sear the delicious food as Rumble added a bit more seasoning, then he turned to Jaslene to blabber on his life some more.
"Life's been fine as usual in the junkyard. Heh, it's gotten better since I found my little friend here," and Rumble grinned and gestured to the cat, who mewed and nodded. The mechanic cut off another piece of salmon and threw it at the cat, who caught it expertly with its mouth and ate it in five bites. "Yep, Scraps is an interesting fellow, but I like him. He's real smart fer a kitty and he doesn't need a collar on him. Pretty cool feline, yep."

"Scraps, bring me the kitchen tongs."
Scraps pounced away from Jaslene and hopped onto the kitchen counter. He took the tongs in his mouth and dropped it next to Rumble, then he hopped onto the mechanic's head and curled up on his moehawk. Rumble chuckled and pet the cat.
"Yeah, I get used t'the head-sittin' thing too... but this critter's pretty smart. I don't have ta worry 'bout him wandering off 'n getting lost since I know he kin take care of 'imself just fine."
Jaslene laughs and offers a little applause for the cat, shaking her head.
Smarter than yer average cat indeed. Though sittin' on someone's head is kinda... different from average too.
She smiles and looks at the cat for a moment before turning her look down to Rumble again.
So, you've had a busy time lately huh? I was wonderin'... any chance if you could show me what yer mech looks like? I've only seen it in one or two League shows unfortunately, and that doesn't really show enough detail to see how ya made stuff work.

Rumble crossed his arms and smirked at Jaslene. "So ya wanna see the ol' beauty in her glory, yes? Hah, I'll lead you to the garage so ye can marvel at her all you want to. Just don't touch 'er."
He picked up the fully cooked salmon steak and laid it on a plate. Scraps immediately sliced off a small portion using his paw and began nibbling at it. He hopped back onto the mechanic's head as soon as the yordle began walking towards the garage.
Rumble opened the door after punching in a lock combination and turned on the light switches. There, Tristy glimmered and shined as the room brightened up more and more.
Well, it would be glimmering and shining if Rumble had bothered to clean it in the past month.
"Well, there's my pride 'n work. Ain't she a beauty?" he remarked.
Jaslene chuckles a bit, pulling the safety goggles from her head and folding them in the chest pocket of her overalls as she follows Rumble.
Yeah yeah, it's not like I'm some grabby lil' kid ya know.
When she enters the garage, she looks up in awe, while managing to keep a somewhat calm face.
Even tho' it shows that you've not really been able to work on 'er for a while, she is quite impressive yah. I hear she can be a bit... unstable, heatin' up quite easily and all. Are ya plannin' on workin' to improve those things?
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Jul 27, 2013 17:54:36 GMT -5
"Unstable?! Ya kidding me? Tristy's the pinnacle of yordle engineering! She's never broken down from heatin' problems, she's already the best she can- ow!"
Rumble smacked and covered his right cheek which Scraps scratched a second ago, drawing a little blood. He growled quietly and glared upwards at his cat for a moment, then withdrew his hand from his cheek slowly, the fur slightly stained with the blood.
"Okay, so maybe she's got a few problems... but I'll get t'fixing 'em once I've got the time to," he grumbled. Scraps mewed and nodded at Jaslene after that.
Jaslene giggles at Scraps's antics, smiling widely.
Yup, smart lil' kitty indeed. So, if the mech overheats easily, I presume you've not been able to fit in a proper cooling system, or are you using the heat for somethin' else?
She taps her chin and looks at the mech, shuddering a bit at the massive mace in one of the arms of the machine.
Yeesh, I'd not like to get in the way o' that ball of spikes.

"Probably use the heat for somethin' else. It'd be a shame to let all that heat energy go to waste, yep."
Rumble chuckled and grins, also admiring Tristy's mace with Jaslene.
"Yep, that piston-powered mace has crushed more foes than you've ever dreamt of. It c'n squash the biggest, baddest, toughest monsters in all of Runete- Ow! That one really hurt!"
Scraps scratched the mechanic's left cheek this time, drawing a bit more blood this time. Rumble rubbed the wound with his hand, staining a little more blood with the fur. He glared upwards at his cat again, who just smiled at Jaslene.
"Gee," he grumbled, "I'm startin' to think my cat hurts more than my machine..."

"Yeah, yeah, crush 'em, flame 'em, I just use everything against 'em until I find something that works. Every time though, I only need either the piston-powered mace or the flamespitter t'take down someone, 'cause there ain't anything on this planet strong enough to stand against my Tris- Ow ow ow! Quit scratching me!"
Rumble growled and picked up his cat, who previously scratched his head twice. Scraps immediately clawed at Rumble's hands and arms, causing the mechanic to drop the cat instinctively and rub his arm, which then caused Scraps to bite and scratch his leg. Rumble yelped and tripped face-first onto the ground in front of Jaslene. Scraps walked onto the mechanic's back and onto his head, then proceeded to sit on his moehawk and mew.
Looking at what just happened between Rumble and Scraps, Jaslene stands near motionlessly for a moment. She then suddenly falls down on her behind and laughs wildly for a minute or two before calming down.
By the Mothership... Scraps, ya sure know how to make my day kitty...
She then makes her way to Rumble and pats him on the back, still chuckling a bit.
C'mon Rumble, it's just a couple o' scratches and bites, sure ya can just walk it off, or do ya need mommy to nurse ya back to health hmm?

Rumble waves around a white flag on a stick which he seemingly pulled out of thin air under himself. Scraps meows and promptly takes a large bite out of the white flag. Rumble moans something, but it's very quiet and practically impossible for Jaslene to comprehend due to the ground muffling his voice. It does sound something like Mommy... though.
The mechanic grumbles and gets to his feet, the cat still sitting on his head. "Yeah, let's get outta here before my pet decides to maul me more," he mutters. He quickly turns off the light switches in the garage and opens the door, allowing Jaslene to pass through first.
Jaslene chuckles and stands up straight, walking out of the door.
A lil' killer ain't he?
She turns aroud and looks at Rumble, patting the mechanic on the cheek.
Don't worry Rumble, he didn't ruin yer good looks at least.
She looks around the room they're at, sighing. This was an interesting day alright... and Rumble's pet was being very unusual to say the least. She'd miss a lot of things while on the trip to Piltover... and this sure gave her a lot of things to remember while there.
So, what do ya think, will you survive with Scraps? Or will the lil' kitty beat the best mechanic in Bandle City?
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Jul 29, 2013 15:27:51 GMT -5
"What, beat me? Pfft, he might be a smart kitty and he might have claws, but he's still my pet! No way I'm letting him get the best of m- Okay okay I'll stop! Quit it ooooow!"
Rumble rubbed his head with both hands as Scraps mewed and pawed at Rumble's forehead. In one of Scraps' paws was a small tuft of hair that he pulled from the mechanic's mohawk. Rumble growled and rubbed the spot where Scraps pulled out the small portion of his mohawk.
