[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?
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.
[All Jessie needs to hear is someone has hurt him and already she's tense, brow furrowed. She understands Buzz's sentiment. She'd very much like to find them and break every single thing. Fuck rationality. ]
What? Someone hurt him? Who was it? What's their name?
[Oh, yeah, she's angry. How DARE someone hurt Peter. He's a GOOD kid. She takes a few breaths. OKay, no. Punching the person who hurt him would make HER feel better, but would it help Peter? ]
Do you know where he is now? Do you think we could... I don't know, bring him home? Keep him safe until all of this blows over?
We need to focus on helping Peter, not lashing out against the person who hurt him. As much as I would like to. if I tell you, do you promise not to go after him? [...] Can you... stop me if I decide to get a violent?
[because he's pretty sure if he gets overwhelmed with his stupid single-minded feelings mysterio will be the first person he goes for.]
Doing more experiments on the dome, as far as I can tell. They should be... productive enough that they're keeping him focused on a goal, but if they keep failing...
[What Jessie would like is to be able to lash out at the person who hurt him. She'd like that very much indeed. But she's learned that letting her anger get the better of her is... bad here- and she doesn't want the same to happen to Buzz.]
Okay. Fine. I don't like it none, but I'll stop you.
[She heaves out a worried sigh.]
He's trying to get out of the dome, but I don't think there is a way out.
[he hates it. when problems are intangible like this-- he couldn't help woody until bo almost literally fell into their collective lap in a stroke of absolutely huge luck. there's no luck here. that mother superior broadcast made it clear that it's stacked against them and done so intentionally.]
No. I can't imagine how that must feel-- trapped in here with the person who hurt him. [...] It's that movie owner guy. Beck something or other. He...
[.,,. , ., ,
he closes his eyes and leans his head back for a moment, looking exhausted.]
...Well, he's a piece of work. [he doesn't have it in him to talk about the train thing.]
[Jessie commits the name to memory. If she ever comes across him she might accidentally stab him in the foot with a paperclip, but for now, she tempers her... temper. ]
Well, we're just going to have to make sure we can make a safe space for him- safe as you can get in this place, right.
[Buzz looks real damn tired and that's worrying her a lot. She reaches out her hand to put it on his shoulder. ]
[he is, but they all are. they're not going through this alone. not even peter, even if he feels like he is. they'll just have to make sure they can remind him of that, right? he puts his hand over hers with a light sigh.]
Yeah. But how do we do that? He's literally trapped here with the guy.
I guess us locking that Beck guy up in his own movie theatre, maybe tying him to a chair for the rest of ever is probably overdoing it?
[Probably. She heaves out a sigh, rubbing her head, pushing her hat up a little.]
I don't know. I don't know how we can make him feel safe if he knows the guy is right here. We can't get him anywhere safe other than trying to keep him in the house, and that'd drive him bananas.
Doing anything to him will tip Peter off, then he'll likely blame himself for putting us in danger.
[they're their own people and make their own mistakes, but buzz knows how it goes. as much as he loves peter, he knows at his core that he's more like woody.]
Definitely not. My best idea is to... I don't know. Try to continuously remind him he has support, and not just us. He has many other friends here, though I could understand why he might not trust them as much anymore.
Ugh. That don't seem all that fair, but fine. I understand.
[She'll just THINK about hurting him real hard.]
You think we could maybe get some of them in the house? Let him know that there's people there for him? Not really a party just- a get-together, just so he knows how many people he's got in his corner?
...Maybe. It's the beginning of an idea-- I can talk to Mr Stark about it and see what he thinks. As far as I'm aware, he's the person other than us here that Peter is closest to.
I haven't spoken to him, but it can't hurt to have an actual human helping him out. He can do things to help Peter we can't, even with the best will in the world.
[it would be nice to pretend it was only here, too, but buzz knows it would be ridiculous to believe no toy has ever had the thought back home. it would great to be able to reveal themselves outside of this pocket dimension, but... well, it doesn't work like that.]
You'll like him. He's a lot like you, actually. Very clever, level headed. ...Not sure if he's a fan of horses, though.
[It is what it is. They just have to make the most of this place and the opportunity it's given them while they can.]
Eh, no one can be right at everything. [Because obviously, not being a horse fan is just an incorrect life choice.] Seems like we'd get along, though. And he cares about Peter- that's a big bonus.
[there does seem to be more to peter and tony's relationship than he knows-- but that's a given. there was no way they'd know everything. it's obvious, sometimes, that peter is holding some stuff back.]
