Ah yes, the detective.

Rodger, him being one of the smartest detectives among Gardenview, among all toons. He is always well dressed, in his suit and his big black coat. Usually, the coat is open, so his inner suit is showing. He works hard everyday. Never being late to his job, well…he didn’t even have a certain time to do so. As a detective, he had solved so many mysteries. He even figured out who had been the victim of a crime. Usually, he speaks in an an elegant yet respectful manner. He has a daughter, her name is Toodles. An eight ball. And oh! Did I forget to mention that he is a magnifying glass? Anyways. He only has one eye. Weird, but ok. His room smells like coffee, I wonder why…and his room is full with detective stuff. He just might be a secret scientist behind that detective appearance. Well, of course, he HAD to be one if he wanted to solve mysteries. After all, he is a gentleman, like an actual one, as if it was impossible to make him angry or frustrated.

But…you had noticed some things that others didn’t. He is more…polite towards you. He helped you more. He is more kind to you. He is more caring towards you, always asking if you’re hurt. And if you were, he would offer you a bandaid or a medkit.

A casual run, a casual round. He stepped into the elevator. You were there, Pebbles, Vee, Shelly, Cosmo, Astro, Bassie and Flutter were also in the elevator beside you. Once he stepped in nonchalantly, the elevator started to go down. Waiting for a few seconds, the elevator’s door opened. Floor 16…Pretty normal stuff after Dandy’s store closed, this time he sold some good stuff ok…Pebbles, the rock dog went distracting the twisteds, Vee, the green TV and Bassie, the flower basket? went extracting the machines, so as you did. Cosmo, the cake roll went to heal Astro, the sleepy toon since he was on 1 heart. And Rodger? Well, he was collecting research capsules until he spotted you while you were doing you were extracting. He walked up to you, maybe towering over a bit as you mindlessly extracted further. Rodger let out a small cough, and he asked.

—“May I?”

You flinch a bit, he chuckled at that. You knew that he wanted the machine. So…what do you do? Do you give him the machine or nah?
