Offical Woody Complaint Box
code by
cawaii[ Jessie Understands, and Alice is glad. She called the right person tbh.
Reverently, adoringly: ] So many horses.
[ A pause, for quiet excitement. ]
You know, we're gonna have staff and volunteers. Some of them will need training and lessons and supervision. Would you like to help?
[ Jessie might be really small, but she's got a good, strong voice, and passion to spare. She'd probably make a great teacher and/or boss. ]

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, no. He can be pretty stubborn.
Ain't the sort of bully I was talking about. We've dealt with worse than you realise. Maybe if you took your time to get to know us instead of being a spiteful brat every living second around us, you'd learn that.
[Ah. So this was a memory thing- and despite her temper... well, Jessie's not completely unreasonable. That usually falls to Woody. Her tone doesn't really soften, but a wariness slips into it.]
...I don't understand, reckon you'll need to explain that a little better. What was that about memories?

CW Mentions of ADAM, Sadism, screwed up crap and a lotta pain. Lil 4th walling cause KH.

I'm not going to press. He deserves to decide for himself if he needs more out of me. [A shrug.] Not everyone deserves to get their apology accepted.
Fair 'nuff... memories... memories...
I used to be one girl, and then I allowed a guy with a lot of magic power change me into something called a nobody. I didn't remember being her, and now I had almost no emotions. So, when you guys met me, I had about as much empathy as a rock... and any emotions I was showing were probably kind of a sham, a show because I was used to expressing them but didn't feel them really.
Nobodies are almost all the "Bad Guys," not that I think that matters to me anymore. Aaaand we usually get our jollies off like some kid with a magnifying glass hovering over an ant hill, with you guys as ants.
So. I remembered being Elrena. I remembered being Larxene. I remembered going back to Elrena, then I remembered deciding to become Larxene again. And then I remembered dying a second time and getting both sets of memories all jumbled together. I remembered being here, and I remembered being hopped up on ADAM, which made me want to protect every kid I ever met from anything that came near them, and left me in pain non-stop for almost two months.
Which... lucky Buzz, he got to feel that pain for like a month and a half. Not my choice, but we got stuck with it. I felt his. he felt mine. Little bastard popped his arm out at one point. Oh man... that was such a fair shot. But fuck it hurt.
[Breathe. Right.]
So, I'm Larxene. I'm not Elrena. But I remember being her... and she wasn't always a bad person, and she cared, but ... apparently that was too much for her sometime and she kept following some guy who did this to himself over and over again. And so... I'm still a sadist. Believe me. It's still fun. It didn't stop being fun... but... maybe I'm just tired of always being the bad guy all the time.
Oh... and, uh... I might have known you guys were toys from the start. There's... uh... a world in my place where there's talking toys. One of the others got assigned it. I got assigned Elsa. But it might have been an 'other you.' Does that make sense?

Never thought I'd see so many in a town like this, but I sure ain't complaining.
[You know, Jessie's never really considered any sort of work in this place- because her existence in itself is a Lifelong Career. But oh boy, if this doesn't sound the best thing ever. She sure wouldn't get a chance like this back home, it might be nice to do something other than what she was designed for. She'll never feel bad about the toy life, but this... this is something nice.]
Well, I can't do much heavy lifting what with the whole ten inches tall and weighing about as much as a bunch of grapes thing- but I know a whole lot about horses and riding. Or I suppose Cowgirl Jessie in Woody's Roundup did and as a result, so do I. I reckon I could help out plenty, I'd sure love that a lot.
[Don't question how memories are manufactured, toys don't know either. They just know what they know.]

[ That's some fridge horror shit right there so you know what, she's just gonna not even think about it and move right on!!! ]
You could teach, and you could supervise new staff snd volunteers.
[ Imagine some very tall person being taught how to properly muck a stall by a ten inch tall cowgirl doll. Funny, sure, but also memorable. Who could possibly forget what they're taught in a scenario like that? ]
You're welcome to visit either way. You're better with people than I am. We could use a people person even just hanging out. And Bullseye doesn't need to be boarded, but he can make friends.
[ Oh god, little bullseye making friends with big horses... the stables will be heaven. ]

[The entire toy story universe is full of fridge horror. Best to just let it lie. Live a better life not knowing, Alice.]
I'd love to do that, I could for sure give them a solid word or two on how to do the work.
[Okay, that gets a chuckle out of her.]
He'd love to meet some real horses, and you bet. I can be your people person for you. Deal with all the peopleing.

...Well, that's exactly the right way you need to put it.
[Wow, that's... that's a whole lot right there. ]
I was kinda with you at the start there. So you had your emotions ripped out of you and you became... something else? This... nobody thing? And that's why you were the way you've been for a while here?
[Okay, okay. That... weirdly makes sense. She's lost around the ADAM stuff but- wait.]
He ripped his arm off?!!
[Oh. Oh boy that'll be a fucking conversation later, Mr Lightyear.]
I'm still a mite confused. So who are you now? And... are you planning on causing us any trouble?
...And yeah, I have no dang clue what you're talking about. There's plenty of other us-es, merchandised toys and all. Though don't reckon there's many of me or Woody left.

Uhhh... yeah, close. Close enough, really. I'm a Nobody right now. So. Elrena's me before I became me. Larxene's the Me now. When I died back home, me and Elrena got put back together, but it's just me and not her. So I still remember both of my times. As her, and as me.
So... I'm a Nobody, only I can feel shit now. It's really fucking annoying too, I might add. I 'get' why I did it in the first place. You have no idea how liberating it is to not give a shit about things.
[She snorted and laughed.]
It was some sort of deal with strings. Thought he could detach it I guess. Didn't work. it's back on obviously. You're toys, after all.
[She snickered a bit and shrugged.]
I'm Larxene. I'm still pretty much an asshole, but... I guess I have enough conscience to know better than to overdo it? And no, no plans to go getting into a fight with children's toys, and hell... if you need help, I'm around I guess, but you probably have better people for that.
As for "Other You" it's an "Other World" thing. Kind of like how there's two Peter Parkers running around. I'm pretty dead sure you guys aren't the "You" from my world. You definitely would have known Sora.

[It takes a while before Maul responds to Jessie's question. Was it really worth it in the end? Maul's not sure. Sometimes it seems like it was, and other times, not at all.]
If I ever figure out an answer to that question, I'll tell you.
Then you are stronger than me in that regards. I can't stay away. Seeing my family again is all I have wanted for so long.

...That sounds mite confusing. I don't reckon I'm going to understand any of that any time soon. But I guess none of that matters to me anyhow. What matters to me is who you want to be now. The sort of person you want to be. You want to be better? Prove it, in how you live here now.
[Jessie would much rather rant and rave at her and tell her to go talk a long walk off a short pier. But she's been feeling the weight of that badge Woody put on her in recent months- even more so since he left for home and came back, knowing this was their last rodeo together. She figures she should probably be more measured here. ]
...I'm gonna have to have a word about the arm thing. And sorry, don't recognise that name, so probably not. Wild to think about, though.

It's okay, take your time. It's a pretty big question.
I've learned a thing or two about clinging too hard to the past. Just because it got you were you are doesn't mean dwelling on it does you any good. Can do a lot worse for you, in the long run. Not sure if it's strength or me just avoiding what I know I can't handle.

[ Amen amen, Jessie. ]
I'll let you know when we're ready to open. Until then, I can stop by with Dusty. You can come ride with us.

I mean... ya don't have to. I was in horrendous pain because of the ADAM and he'd been dealing with it for weeks. I think he just wanted it to stop, so I really don't blame him, even if I totally wanted to give him a good shake when it happened.
[Siiiiiigh]
Yeah, wild. More of me running around, hah. that's a funny thought. Whatever. So, I get it. Speak with Actions, not Words. Gimme a call if you got questions or need something. I mean, unless you've got them right now.

[That is such a startlingly clear view that Maul can hardly believe it's coming from a cowgirl ragdoll. He should know better than to underestimate people that come in unusual packages, but even now he's an old dog learning new tricks.]
You are a very articulate and wise being. That was very well put. May I ask how old you are? I assume a toy doesn't age the same way a normal human would.

Right. So this was more of you guys and... whatever it is that's going on between you.
[Buzz is usually pretty chill, but even he has buttons (not even his literal ones!) and when they get pressed, he can be pretty stubborn. But then, so can she. ]
I think I got a lot to think about right now. But we'll see, with you. I'm withholding judgement a while, which is about the best I can give right now.

[The cowgirl ragdoll's been through Some Stuff, Maul.]
Never been called a wise being before. I think I'll take it. And no, we don't. Sure we get wear and tear and the like, but we usually wake up grown adults and just keep on going until we're destroyed.
I'm fifty, by the way.

Uh... do you remember weird magic threads between people, when we were underwater? Cause they made it so we felt each other's pain, and I was in pain constantly. He was trying to break the connection.
You know, by breaking the connection. Ow.
[A nod.]
Look. this went better than I expected, so... uh... thanks. For at least letting me apologize. If it never patches up, I'm... ok with that. It's not like I've done anything to earn trust here, haha. Noooo no sireee.

What a curious form of immortality. To be able to stay alive as everyone ages around you. I imagine there are as many advantages as disadvantages to such a state.
[That seems really old for a simple toy to have held up for so long, but then again, what did he know about how toys were made? It's not like he ever had any to judge by comparison.]
[That seems really old for a simple toy to have held up for so long, but then again, what did he know about how toys were made? It's not like he ever had any to judge by comparison.]
Yeah, I remember those things. That explains it. Lord knows he has to find the most extreme way of doing anything.
[Buzz, please, why do you have to be so damn extra all the time.]
I'm trying to be a little less on the angry side. We'll see where this goes. Thanks for providing an explanation and apologising. That goes a long way.

Yeah, I think that's all that needs to be said right now. I'll see you around. Give me a call if you need.
[in between all the trouble going on right now in the town, here is one (1) buzz lightyear fairy flittering into whatever room jessie's in and landing with a heavy whud. he looks worried; moreso than he usually does.]
Jessie, I think we should talk about Peter. I'm worried he's spiraling into a bad place very quickly.
Jessie, I think we should talk about Peter. I'm worried he's spiraling into a bad place very quickly.
[Buzz looking more worried than normal is a cause of concern- because people are acting ever the more screwy and Jessie has learned to be very wary when that starts happening. When he starts talking about Peter, her eyebrows knit together. what has that boy been doing.]
...What do you mean? Is this more than trying to break out of the dome?
...What do you mean? Is this more than trying to break out of the dome?
Far more. Someone present in this town from his own reality has hurt him deeply and I fear... irreparably.
[he crosses his arms, not looking directly at jessie. trying to concentrate on keeping his stupid emotions from flicking to a switch where he'll do something stupid. he closes his eyes for a moment, rubbing his temple.]
And I know where he lives, and I want to break everything-- no, no. Okay. No. Rational. Rational.
[deep breaths... his wings flitter behind him for a moment.]
He's found out about betrayal and manipulation from someone he trusted as a close friend, he broke his arm in the labyrinth on top of the whole dome thing. I'm worried he's going to do something he'll regret, and I'm worried he's going to get hurt further before he has a chance to recover from the blows dealt to him.
