That's my name! I still wonder why I hear people yelling it all the time.

「 SURLEE, LOOK—
「 Yep! A lot of toons that see humans go out to be actors— I, however, am a scientoon! Doctor Dimm Witt, at your service! Nice to meetcha, Leon! 」

❝ Soo.. a livin' cartoon character..?
. . .
HAH–! I knew you guys were always
Real, and not some CGI implemented
In an 80's movie! ❞ (✨)

[ His eyes glowing from exctiment upon
Coming up with revelation. ]

❝ I'mm Leon—! A treasure hunter from
Farlands! And you?❞

「 Straight up can't comprehend them. They blow up when they try, which is why every toon here's got gags. Just for a little self defense. 」
Is that so? How dull... even /I/ can sense when something is amusing.

( And that's saying something, given how firm he's sounded so far. )
「 Nope! And they hate fun. Can't take a single joke— that's why your siblings pulling pranks is crazy news!! 」

「 Nope! And they hate fun. Can't take a single joke— that's why your siblings pulling pranks is crazy news!! 」
( Enker nods. )

I assume your robots— the “cogs”— they follow none of these practices?
「 Got it! Serial number is like surname... shares it with siblings... not true for all robots... 」

「 Got it! Serial number is like surname... shares it with siblings... not true for all robots... 」
You… can if you like, but it is not a /firm/ rule. Other robots of my kind see the serial groups differently. It’s a matter of opinion.
「 Oh, cool! Can I put that down on the sheet, or is that just you telling me that? 」
December 18, 2025 at 2:17 AM
「 Oh, cool! Can I put that down on the sheet, or is that just you telling me that? 」
It’s somewhat symbolic. They are listed under the same serial number category as I am; that essentially equates to a surname for us.
「 Siblings? Huh! Didn't know robots had family... I'm learning so much! 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles away.
December 18, 2025 at 2:13 AM
「 Siblings? Huh! Didn't know robots had family... I'm learning so much! 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles away.
They mostly come from my more reckless linemates— er, siblings.

They have a higher sense of humor, as they’d word it, and less respect for their surroundings.
「 Wait, robots pulling pranks? I gotta know about this!! 」
December 18, 2025 at 2:03 AM
「 Next question, then! What are your opinions on goofs, gaffs, japes, and assorted buffoonery? 」

❪ She slowly shook her head. ❫

❝ It’s— not. ❞
ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles that down.

「 Thank you! Uhm, normally I'd ask how old you are, but I'm not sure if that's the same with robots. 」
December 18, 2025 at 1:35 AM
「 Wait, robots pulling pranks? I gotta know about this!! 」
They’re… fine, I suppose? Sometimes I see a few /dangerous/ pranks from certain robots I know, but other than that they’re mostly harmless.
「 Yeah. I thought that one was worded really clearly, oops. 」
December 18, 2025 at 1:29 AM
「 Yeah. I thought that one was worded really clearly, oops. 」
… what?

( He has to reprocess the question on his own before he can formulate a response. )

As in, practical jokes…?
「 Okay! 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe does exactly as asked. The slow blink... cats do that when they're happy, he's learned that from Purrview. Is he happy? No, that doesn't make sense. What species slow blinks when annoyed? He can't tell.

「 What are your opinions on goofs, gaffs, japes, and assorted buffoonery? 」

「 What are your opinions on goofs, gaffs, japes, and assorted buffoonery? 」
( Slow blink. )

For all intents and purposes, just write down 34.
「 Oh! Uhm. 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe looks around.

「 I still don't get it. 」
December 18, 2025 at 1:09 AM
「 Oh! Uhm. 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe looks around.

「 I still don't get it. 」
"Active" would be a more accurate term. I was first activated 34 years ago.
「 ..online? 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:55 AM
「 ..online? 」
Are they, now? Intriguing.

And that is a complicated question, but I have been online for 34 years.
「 Oh, yeah! Pun names are popular here, it's sorta like good luck. 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles down something else.

「 Okay, uhm... how old are you? 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:37 AM

ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles down something else.

「 Okay, uhm... how old are you? 」
No, I was just admiring the pun; there are many scientists I know who share that quirk. My apologies, I am not... skilled at conversing.

( Hopefully that was a good enough save, otherwise he /will/ be chewed out if anyone finds out he broke this duck's spirits. )
「 ..is my name weird? 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe still heard it.
December 18, 2025 at 12:31 AM
「 ..is my name weird? 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe still heard it.
That can't /really/ be your-- hrm. Never mind.

( He remembers a soft, familiar voice always telling him to 'be nice'. )

... It is nice to meet you, doctor.
「 Oop— right, yeah. Doctor Dimm Witt, member of the SILLI team, at your service! 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:24 AM
ㅤㅤㅤHe scribbles that down.

❝ R-O-Z. Roz. ❞
「 Roze... R-O-Z-E? 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:05 AM
「 Roze... R-O-Z-E? 」

❝ I go by Roz. ❞
「 So, cool mysterious non-cog robot, what's your name? 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:03 AM
「 Oop— right, yeah. Doctor Dimm Witt, member of the SILLI team, at your service! 」
Enker.

( He probably should have asked what notes the duck was going to take before agreeing to this. )

Might I ask yours?
「 Okay! So, first, what's your name? 」
December 18, 2025 at 12:00 AM
「 So, cool mysterious non-cog robot, what's your name? 」

❪ Blinking a few times, watching him write things down from a clipboard that materialized out of nowhere. Interesting…but also kinda odd. Where did it even come from?

Roz’s optics had confusion written all over them. ❫
「 That's easy! Cogs are evil business robots that hate fun— they can't take a joke! Since you weren't hurt, I think... this might be a first!! 」

ㅤㅤㅤHis entire face lights up, pulling his clipboard back out from nowhere and scribbling things down.
December 18, 2025 at 12:00 AM
「 Okay! So, first, what's your name? 」
On second thought, let us save /that/ discussion for later... I am unsure what use you will have by taking notes, but you may do so if you wish.

( His build is already well-documented in other places, so Enker begrudgingly accepted the lack of privacy a long time ago. )
「 Oh, cogs are easy. Evil business robots who are trying to take over Toontown and turn it into a capitalist nightmare! You're a little tie-less to even look like one. 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe taps the clipboard with the back end of his pen, tapping his foot in turn.

「 Toons are... hm, how do I explain that? 」
December 17, 2025 at 11:53 PM

ㅤㅤㅤHis entire face lights up, pulling his clipboard back out from nowhere and scribbling things down.

❪ Surprised, slowly standing back up as she responded. ❫

❝ A…cog? What do you mean? What helps you decipher whether or not a robot is a cog? ❞
ㅤㅤㅤBut he stands up... unscathed.

「 Yep! But... hm. You didn't laugh, but you also didn't short out... I guess you're not a cog? 」
December 17, 2025 at 11:52 PM
ㅤㅤㅤBut he stands up... unscathed.

「 Yep! But... hm. You didn't laugh, but you also didn't short out... I guess you're not a cog? 」

.ᐟ.ᐣ

❪ IMMEDIATELY running over and kneeling beside him, she was worried and genuinely confused. Why…Why did he do that? ❫

❝ A—Are you okay??? ❞
「 OH, I meant for the questioning! But there's an easy way to tell if you're a cog— hold on. 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe puts the clipboard behind his back, where it vanishes, before pulling out a banana peel. Dropping it on the ground, he takes a running start towards it, absolutely wiping out.
December 17, 2025 at 11:48 PM

ㅤㅤㅤHe taps the clipboard with the back end of his pen, tapping his foot in turn.

「 Toons are... hm, how do I explain that? 」
If I may ask, please explain to me what 'cogs' and 'toons' are. I am assuming you are the latter, but you've only told me what they /aren't./
「 To understand non-toons better! The only people who aren't toons that we come into contact with often are /cogs,/ eugh. But you're too bright to be a cog! 」
December 17, 2025 at 11:41 PM
「 To understand non-toons better! The only people who aren't toons that we come into contact with often are /cogs,/ eugh. But you're too bright to be a cog! 」
( That is: a duck. A duck in a lab coat. Enker blinks several times, then narrows his eyes a bit. )

… what exactly do you need the notes for?
「 Gooood morning, everyone! There's lots of non-toons here, do you all mind if I take notes on you? 」

ㅤㅤㅤHe's holding one of those 12-in-1 color pens and a clipboard...

🎹 I'm so glad Dimm is working. The intended reaction to anything he does is "WHY DID HE DO THAT"
