*This is a Crash. He's sitting by a huge hole in the floor, staring up at the ceiling and sucking at one of those lovely spiked E-tanks from a hole punched in the can's side. Someone forgot that hands work better than drills for picking stuff up. The liquid energy is dribbling down his chin a little, but he doesn't seem to notice or mind.

[Because Fafnir is attracted by big booms, and explosions often mean someone interesting. Well, interesting enough.]

Tell me about it. Nothing good to beat on, either. Everyone's peaceful or just running away.

[blowingupsgud4u]

*Crash doesn't hear the entirety of Fafnir's comment. Because he's too busy staring at the guy.*

...Your armor looks funny.

[dragon_truck]

...

[He looks down at himself for a moment, thinks for a second, looks back at the robot...]

Your helmet looks funny and you're orange, and I'm not commenting on that, am I?

[blowingupsgud4u]

Why's being orange weird? You've got those shoulders like WHOA and those weird spiky things and you totally ARE commenting on it!

And the visor has a purpose, dammit!

[dragon_truck]

[He gives a shrug, and goes to give a knock on that visor.]

Orange just... Doesn't make you half as terrifying as any guy with bombs should be. And I look just fine.

[...Fine being, he's not sporting scuffed or cut or cracked armor.]

[blowingupsgud4u]

*Said visor has apparently been knocked around enough lately to be a little loose, and knocking on it sets it slightly askew. Crash makes a small noise of protest as a few strands of bright red hair spill out from under it, and attempts to set it back on straight.*

Well I don't NEED to be terrifying! So there.

[dragon_truck]

[An eyebrow raises under Fafnir's helmet, but it's not anything that can be seen, really.]

So you're orange because that way you're less threatening. I'll hand it to you, it's working alright.

[blowingupsgud4u]

Huh? Well, I dunno why I'm orange... never thought to ask the doc that. *But guess what the first thing out of his mouth is going to be the next time he sees Wily?*

Maybe you're right, though! Cause like... I don't look threatening, so then people don't expect me to be like... like... uh... *he can't seem to find the word for it, so he just hops to his feet and - opens. Or more precisely, panels and hatches and whatnot click open ALL OVER HIS ARMOR, revealing miniguns and bomb launchers and missile launchers and who knows what, and is that a giant-ass rocket launcher on his back WHERE DID IT EVEN COME FROM? But it all snaps shut and folds neatly away a moment later, leaving just a grinning, dorky-as-usual Crash.*

Like that!

[dragon_truck]

[Fafnir steps back a little, and lets out a whistle of appreciation, crossing his arms. Add to that a fanged grin, and it's pretty clear that, one, he sees nothing wrong with it, and two, he might in fact even be impressed.]

Yeah, that's definitely sneak attack territory.

[With an innocent tone, Fafnir comments.] I've got no idea why, but suddenly you're looking a lot more fun to be around.

[blowingupsgud4u]

*Crash likes this guy, he's kinda like Forte only actually NICE to him! Sort of. So far.*

Well duh! It's cause blowing stuff up is the most fun ever! And I'm the best at it and it IS TOO funnest, don't let Burner tell you otherwise!

[dragon_truck]

As long as there aren't humans around, anyway. [It's not his intention to rain on anyone's parade, it's just the way he was brought up. Well, after his waste disposal phase, anyway.]

Burner? Let me guess... "Burning things is better"?

[blowingupsgud4u]

Man, what's up with all you weird skinny people and not blowing stuff up around humans? S'not like they're going extinct or anything.

Uh-huh. It's stupid. I mean, how can burning stuff be any fun when it's just SITTING there?

[dragon_truck]

The only good thing to burn is fuel. When it's still inside something big, and leaking. ...Wait.

[Fafnir blinks, thrown a bit off-guard, and gives the walking arsenal a dubious and wary look. Things that harm humans tend to be Mavericks, in his instruction booklet.]

Not extinct? What do you call sixty thousand of them left?

[blowingupsgud4u]

Yeah, exactly! And when it makes that thing EXPLODE!

*He pauses as Fafnir gives him that Look, looking slightly confused in return. No Maverick virus here though, just Wilybot programming. It's like Maverick Lite!* Sixty thousand? No way, there's like six or seven billion of them or something!

[dragon_truck]

...I know that I don't look all that smart, but I think I'd know how many humans are left by now!

[That, or he's missed one hell of a baby-boom phenomenon inside Neo Arcadia while running after the Resistance and then Weil left right and center. Fafnir gets a distraught look for a second, oblivious to the fact that's not possible.]
