Uhh, I called him before I called you. I owed you a separate apology. He's not taking it, and he's not hearing it, I'm ok with that. We've been through enough crap that I don't blame him. Still apologized and told him if he needs anything to call. I don't expect that call, but it's there.

[She rubbed her forehead and shrugged, sighing.]

Toys like you? Kids are dumb mother fuckers sometimes. I'd assume bullies are a dime a dozen. no, I'm not actually better... probably safer to be around. Worst you'll get from me is a nasty comeback in words, but I didn't magically become a good person.

Look, what happened... I got my memories back. And my emotions. All of them. My past before I became... what I am. All the memories from when I was high on the Adam Juice, everything from the old days as Larxene, both times around, all of it, all jammed in one massive stew of a headache.

I'm kind of figuring myself out, and you two deserved an apology. That's all this is really about.

[yodelling]

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.

[trancheuse]

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?

[yodelling]

...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.

[trancheuse]

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.

[yodelling]

...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.

[trancheuse]

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.

[yodelling]

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.

[trancheuse]

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.

[yodelling]

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.

[trancheuse]

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.
