Digging up a storm

[There's a guy in blue armor outside, digging a tunnel in the field. He has a drill mounted on his arm.

APPROACH?]

Hey bub - you diggin' for anything in particular?

[abucketfullofvolnutts]

[He turned and saw a short red thing looking at him.]

Whoa! What are you supposed to be? [He stops drilling.]

[....what's with all the people asking him what he's 'supposed to be' lately!? It's not like Echidna are common or easily identified but goddamn if it doesn't get old.]

I'm supposed to be a scale model of the eifel tower but someone messed up and now I look like this.

Let me guess. You're a robot built by Dr. Light from some far-flung time in the future in a world where there's robots, humans and that's pretty much it.

I'm sorry, I've just never seen someone like you before...

Huh? What are you talking about? I don't know anyone named Dr. Light.

[monotreme_101]

....it's fine. But there are politer ways to say that than 'what are you supposed to be'.

You're not a Light Bot like Rock and X? Huh. Weird. You look like them.

[abucketfullofvolnutts]

I'll keep that in mind.

I'm not a robot, but my name's Rock! Rock Volnutt.

Really? Wow.... I mean, I'm no great judge of humanish features but the resemblance is pretty uncanny and when I saw the drill... I just kinda assumed. My bad.
