Rumble scratches his head and glances at the sky.
"Yeah, I suppose, at least to be on the safe side. I dunno how the weather will turn out to be later, but from what I'm seeing, the cold ain't gonna let up anytime soon."
The two yordles enter the workshop, immediately swarmed by the warmth of Rumble's heating system. Rumble takes off his overcoat and hat and plops down on a chair.
"Whew! This is more like it. Now I'm glad to be back here, heh heh."

Teemo enters the building, sighing at the warmth. He loosens his thin scarf and slips off his boots, flexing his little toes. The scout carefully makes his way over to Rumble's location, awkwardly glancing around for a second before scanning the floor and uneasily smiling at his friend.
"Well, I don't want to sound picky or anything, but maybe we should clean up in here first? It should make building a television or something a bit easier."

Rumble glances around the workshop. Sure enough, his workshop was a huge mess... as usual. He looks back at Teemo and shrugs.
"Yeah, why not. I'll put my contraptions in a separate room and organize my tools, and you can pick up the screws and bolts and put them in that blue bin over there." Rumble points towards a bin sitting next to a table piled with blueprints. "After that, we'll see where to go from there."

Teemo blinks and then nods, smiling as he turns to the mess on the floor. Carefully scanning every inch of it, his eyes slowly narrow, mind closing in on his single task. In his head he's calculating the most efficient approach to the matter at hand, and in seconds he's come to a decision.
"Alright, let's do this."
Immediately the scout is rolling nut after bolt after screw into separate corners of the room, springing from one point of the room to another. If it weren't for the dead serious expression on his face, it would look like he was playing an amusing game of pool by himself. After a good ten minutes, there were several piles made up of specific parts, each perfectly sorted out. Teemo wipes his hands together in accomplishment and steps into the other room after swiping the empty blue bin off of the table.
"So... I know you said to just throw everything into this bin, but I thought maybe you'd like me to organize things a bit. Got any more of these bins lying around I could use?"

Unlike Teemo, Rumble liked taking his time during cleaning. He was still casually putting away and organizing his tools onto his tool shelves before Teemo called him over.
Rumble turned around and saw the organized piles. His eyes widened in surprise, and Rumble looked at Teemo, then at the piles again.
"Holy fudge, you work really fast."
Rumble steps closer to the piles to examine them. He was obviously very impressed, given by how long he stared at them and how wide his eyes were. "And they're all in really neat piles, too..." He turned to Teemo and grinned. "Heh, maybe I should start hiring you as a housekeeper around here!" he chuckles. "'Course, I'm only kidding. Anyways, the reason I told you to put them all in one bin is 'cause I thought organizing them would be too difficult of a task... but guess I was wrong! Hold on a minute."
Rumble walks towards a drawer and opens it. He takes out several smaller bins, each one colored and labeled differently. "Right, just put those piles into these bins accordingly, and when you're done, um..." Rumble scratched his chin for a while before continuing. "Well, I'm almost done with my job too, so we'll see what to do from then when we're finished."

Teemo nods to his friend, smiling at the praise with his hands behind his back in the at ease position. When he's given his next objective, the scout salutes Rumble and takes the bins proudly. As soon as the mechanic is back in his room, he starts working again, filling the bins up properly. This process took a bit longer, even though it was a much simpler task. Eventually all of the bins have been filled with the appropriate parts, and Teemo arranges them neatly on the table. Fifteen minutes had passed now since he'd started filling them. The captain nods at his work, then heads over to Rumble's quarters and knocks twice, standing proudly at attention. For the entirety of his working period, Teemo's eyes had been squinted and tilted inwards in their typical, semi-angry manner. Now, however, pleasurable thoughts began to cross his mind again and his eyes tilted outwards in a happy, peaceful, and admittedly cute way, highly contrasting his previous expression despite the slight change.

Rumble comes out and glances at the bins. He notices that they're organized perfectly, and he smiles with satisfaction. "Nice job, Tee. I'm already done organizing the tools, and, um..." He takes one more glance around the room before continuing. "Well, I don't think there's much else to clean, so we can move on with something else."
Rumble notices Teemo's pleasant mood, and he wonders what's on Teemo's mind. Rumble raises a hand and waves it in front of Teemo's face. "Hey, Teemo, ya with me, bud? Ya look like you're thinking about something else, man."
Post by The Swift Scout on Feb 27, 2013 6:55:49 GMT -5
Teemo blinks several times and his frown fades. "Huh? Oh, I was just thinking about later. Nothing to worry about." The scout smiles again and turns back to the workshop behind him. "So, wanna get started on that television? I might be good at cleaning, but building machines is definitely not my forte..."
He chuckles lightly and steps out of the way for Rumble to get through.

Rumble puts on his gloves and fastens on his goggles, already prepping himself up for the task. "Heh, chill your pants, Tee! I'm just getting started," he chuckles.
Rumble walks towards the table and opens up the bins. He takes out some metal parts and several electrical components for the television and immediately begins to assemble them together. "This ain't gonna be some huge television I'm building, unless you want it to be," Rumble hollers out. "So the process should just take 10 minutes or so."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Feb 27, 2013 9:09:49 GMT -5
Rumble doesn't respond, for he's already completely engrossed in his work. His hands were moving deftly, assembling the parts together with a very quick manner and grabbing extra parts whenever needed.
10 minutes pass before Rumble takes out a glass panel and inserts it into the complete tube television. He takes off his gloves and rubs his hand together before speaking.
"Well, here it is. I know it ain't the greatest television ever... but it was easy to make and that's all that matters," Rumble stated, glancing at the tube television. "Wanna take it to the bedroom? Might be pretty heavy to carry, though."
Post by The Swift Scout on Feb 27, 2013 9:28:53 GMT -5
Teemo tilts his head to the side for a second before smirking and nodding. "Yeah, that looks like it'd be pretty heavy even for a mechanic like you, working with your arms every day. We might be able to get it in there together, though. Got a place to put it?"
He hops up from his seat and scuttles over to the television, ready to help carry it whenever they get going.

"Yeah, hold on a minute."
Rumble enters his bedroom and clears his table. He places the various objects onto a different, smaller table in the room, then walks back towards the main workshop room.
"Alright, there's a nice empty table to put the television on," he states. Rumble puts his arms under the television, ready to carry it. "Alright, let's heave this thing there!"
Post by The Swift Scout on Feb 27, 2013 9:42:21 GMT -5
Teemo nods, bending down and helping his friend lift the big machine off the floor. Slowly they work it into the bedroom, but with a little struggle they manage to get it in there nice and safely. The scout wipes his hands together and puts them on his hips in accomplishment.
"Well that looks about right. Question is, what kind of movies does it play?"
