Noodle Pack 6: What has Gumshoe been up to now?

[derp_detective]

 [The sounds of carpentry can be heard around Mitchell Road. Specifically from the house at 1449. The small garage beside it is open, and Missile, the ever faithful dog, is laying down in the shade of the door's slight overhang. Inside of course is a figure dress for the task at hand as he pares down a large bit of plywood with hand tools. Nearby

[And here comes his biffle to see what's up! Have a Kay hovering at the entrance to the garage, already leaning down and rubbing Missile's tummy as she watches.]

"Hey, Detective Gumshoe! What're you up to?"

[derp_detective]

"Gah!"

[Gumshoe is slightly surprised, but only for a moment. Maybe Kay is a pretty good ninja. Or maybe he was just that focused.]

"Oh, Kay! You surprised me! How's it going?"

[He gestures to the pieces of plywood laying around.]

"Right now, I'm working on something to give the place a feel of home, I guess. A Blue Badger mascot like we had back at the precinct."

[thief_of_truth]

"Oh, y'know... not too bad, I guess. Mr. Edgeworth is droned again, but I've kind of gotten used to that."

[Allows herself a momentary sigh before focusing instead on the plywood.]

"Awesome! You're building it all yourself?"

[derp_detective]

"Yep! Done it before after all. Was a bit harder to find the stuff to make it move around like last time, but I found it all here and there. Hopefully all of it will work fine, but I guess I'm going to have to make an on/off switch this time..."

[Vimes is wandering past, out for a walk. The noises get the better of his policeman's curiosity and he leans in, glancing casually inside without fully exposing himself past the open garage door]

Everything okay in there?

[derp_detective]

[The pieces are coming together nicely now, it definitely has a Blue Badger shape. Though not a badger shape. Either way, Gumshoe looks up from his work to see where the voice came from.]

"Oh, hey pal! Yeah, everything's fine. Just doing some arts and crafts here."

[Gumshoe is all smiles as he replies, while Missile simply stares and wags his tail at the new visitor.]

[knurdcopper]

[Vimes gives the dog a casual look, reminded briefly of his Sergeant, and then looks back to the man]

Mind if I come in? What is it you're working on?

[derp_detective]

"Nah, come on in. I'm making this mascot we had back at my Police station. Figured it be nice to have something that reminded me of home around here.

Plus it was one of nicer things I made, so I thought I'd give it another shot."

[Hanna was a curious creature by nature; so he liked to nose around, travel and what-have-you, especially since everything still felt so new to him. He wanted to meet EVERYBODY and be part of their lives whether they liked it or not.

So hands in his pockets, whistling something or other when he walked by and heard curious noises that piqued his interest. And because he has no sense of privacy or personal space, he's poking his head in. Ooooh! It looks interesting.

...

Was going to come in with a hearty hello! But he didn't want the man to cut off a finger or anything. That would be bad. So he'll just be watching... Like a creeper.]

[derp_detective]

[Gumshoe hasn't noticed the newcomer just yet, still a little engrossed in his project, but Missile has noticed him. Missile doesn't think there's anything wrong though, obviously, since he just sits there staring at him, wagging his tail, and panting in the warm air.]
