Killer can't help but take pride in the place at which he works when SunFlash seems impressed with it.
"Well...sorta," he answers with a slight chuckle, "The ship was already here. We just kinda gutted and redid the whole inside over into a canine nightclub. My boss, Carface, and his former partner, Charlie, got the big idea and set up the plans."

SunFlash sits, and turns her head to look around "Hmmmmm, impressive, impressive"

Just as SunFlash makes that comment, two drunken dogs at the bar suddenly break into song, which, in reality, sounds more like ear-splitting yodeling. Clamping his forepaws over his ears and shooting the border collie an apologetic look, he marches over to put a stop to the racket.
"Would you two tone it down?!" he shouts to be heard above the howling, "I'm getting a migraine and you're drivin' the customers away!"
The two dogs only laugh at him, having no respect for him whatsoever and, just to get a rise out of him, they break out singing "You Can't Keep A Good Dog Down"--a song Killer truly despises as it reminds him of an unfortunate encounter with Charlie and Itchy.
"Alright, that's it," he growls, stomping in behind the bar and picking up to bottles of liquor, "If ya don't wanna listen, don't. I'll just put'cha outta my misery!"
With that, he promptly smashes a bottle over each dog's head until both fall to the floor, unconscious. Then, with a sigh of relief that the noise is over, he pads back over to SunFlash.
"Sorry about that," he grimaces, "Ocassionally, things get a lil' wild around here."

She strokes the top of her head "Ya, I can obviously tell by that. Hey, that makes places different. Like, level with me for a momment. Do you want it boring, or do you want it to be different?""

Killer rubs an ear with his paw as it's still ringing from that little serenade, grimacing slightly.
"Well, I can't really help being different," he shrugs, pushing his glasses up on his nose, "If I had a choice, I think I'd rather be like the rest of the dogs around here...wouldn't feel so outta place and, believe me, these glasses will do it every time."
Of course, he's also speaking of his degrading docked tail, which once was long and not nearly as shabby. If dogs in the gang didn't pick on him so much, he probably wouldn't care.
"I mean, I don't wanna be boring," he adds quickly, "But I don't wanna be like those drunken slobs either."

SunFlash looked at Killer "Hmmm, I never really noticed the glasses. Anyways, I'm different too, like, look at me. I have a yellow stripe on my head. Have you ever seen a border collie with a yellow stripe before? I highly doubt it"

Killer tilts his head with a slight frown, though he looks a bit sheepish at the moment.
"Well...no," he admits, "I can't say that I have. Uh...have you ever tried to wash the paint outta your fur before?"

SunFlash nodded "Ya, that was the 1st thing I tried. I even tried to sneak into a car wash and it didn't help. The only thing that happened was that I can run fast from cars"

Killer chuckles a bit and tries to think of another idea that might help. He concludes that SunFlash must be a pretty gutsy dog as she had even gone so far as to mess with a car wash.
"What about finding another paint the same shade of white as your fur?" he suggests, "Maybe ya could paint over the stripe."

SunFlash slowly shakes her head "That is a good idea, but....my yellow stripe is like my identification, that is how I got my name. I used to be called Flash, but, I like the "Sun" part of it. Other dogs think it grew like that, so it makes me feel a bit unique"

Killer nods, understanding her point as his glasses and even the spike collar have become his identification and he can't seem to part with them--the glasses especially. After all, he can't see without them.
"Well," he chuckles a bit, "My next suggestion was gonna be...you could always wear a hat, heh. But, honestly, I think you oughta keep the stripe. It gives ya character, y'know?"

SunFlash stroke her stripe "Ya, I guess it is. Also, your glasses are probobly your biggest identification mark. Like, I've never seen a dog with glasses in my life. Now, that ain't an insult"

Killer grins, blushing a bit as he's a tad embarrassed. Compliments are rarely spoken of him and, when they are, he's always uncertain of how to respond.
"Well, they prob'ly wouldn't be such a big deal if they weren't so...well...big," he chuckles, "These were the only ones that cleared up my otherwise horrid vision, so...heh...guess I'm stuck with 'em and I don't mind. They just draw alot of unwanted attention, if ya know what I mean."
Of course, the "unwanted attention" is that which he gets from other dogs who get a thrill out of teasing him. He tries to take it lightly, but some comments are just plain hurtful.

SunFlash scratched her neck "Hmmmm, unwanted attention, from who?" she got her hind paw back on the ground, and thingyed her head

Killer removes his glasses and buffs a smudge off one of the lenses with the heel of his forepaw, then holds them up to the light and squints, trying to be sure he defeated the interference.
"Eh, co-workers," he replies distractedly, "Y'know how it is. The crowd you're forced to come in contact with day after day tends to be the worst...although there's a German shepherd-type mutt named Charlie who seems to get a thrill out of humiliating me. He's bad news if ya ask me. I try to avoid him at all costs."
