Bo, I failed. I'm sorry.
[THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE MORNING RIGHT]
Woody asked me what Jessie and I have been keeping from him and I couldn't keep it up when he kept digging.
I told him everything, but not that you know.
[his typing bubble stays up for a long while, until eventually:] Maybe we should've just told him from the start.

It's not your fault.
He asked me before, at the costume party. He'd seen Bonnie's name on the bottom of your foot and I figured he was likely going to come and talk to you about it eventually.
Maybe you're right. I don't know what good it would have done, though. More and more I wonder if he'll ever get those memories back.

[he doesn't buy that it's not on him for being a weak link, but he also doesn't mention it further. he'll just ruminate on it while laying here in the mud. oh crunchy leaves, at least you don't have any expectations or moral complications about you.]
From what I gathered of Jessie's findings, it's not unlikely or impossible. I think it's just a matter of when.
Regardless, he'll likely want to talk to you about the choice he made at the carnival.
I tried to make it clear that it was the right thing for him and not a decision he made under duress or anything, but
Well, we both saw how bad he got before he got close to changing his mind.
I'm sorry. This is going to make everything even harder for the foreseeable future.

[ she certainly isn't going to place blame on any one set of shoulders. they'd collectively made the decision to keep it from woody, and she won't let buzz bear that alone. ]
So what you're saying is that it's still just a waiting game.
He's in a different place here than he was then. I can't say for sure whether he'd make the same choice. I don't think any of us could.

A waiting game that should have an end now, at least.
Yeah. I'm trying to remember that.
I told him about Forky as well which definitely didn't help.
You remember the spork we were trying to rescue from the store?

The one he said Bonnie made, right? I still can't really wrap my head around it. She made a toy, brought him to life just like that.
How'd he take it?
How'd he take it?
Just about from the moment he came to life, all he did was scream and ask uncomfortable questions.
[...]
Oh, you meant Woody.
He asked some uncomfortable questions. I'll talk to him later about them.
Even if it's just me saying that I don't understand it either.
At least he'll know there wasn't some big thing around it. It just happened.

Well, if you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask.
[ even though there are only so many gaps she can fill in on her end. ]
I don't know much about where he's been, but I have some of the story at least.

That's very kind of you.
I think I have everything to do with Forky covered, fortunately.
It's not confusing so much as it is...
...Existential.
I think the second rule after the main one is to not ask about why we are the way we are.
If it's not, it should be.
I'm making it a rule for me. Don't ask. I don't want to think about it. It's law now.
Anyway, the same goes for you, Miss Peep. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need some moral support when the inevitable happens. I'm sorry again.
[you know it's bad when he goes back to "miss peep".]

[You have been visited by Holy Mami!
She descends from the winter night sky, presents in hand. She has a smile on her face as she hands you a gift with a note attached. It’s a bunch of tiny bows for her to wear!]
“Made especially for you! Merry Christmas!”
[Before you have the chance to say anything though, she’s gone! She has a lot of gifts to deliver and little time to do so!]
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!
[In an attempt to enthusiastically celebrate his first ever Christmas, Fern is covertly dropping off a wrapped gift addressed to Bo from him on her doorstep.
It's a toy-sized dagger!
Because of course Fern would assume a knife makes a good holiday gift.]

[he hasn't really had time to pick out presents for the gang yet. and besides, he really has no idea what you buy for toys. which is why he instead has the makings of a few presents lined up. the first being the large collection of cardboard boxes that have been making their way into the house, ready to build the city's largest dollhouse. eventually.
there's also a small addition to the team. while droney doesn't have any kind of ai, he does at least know how to follow commands. and, more importantly, has a direct link to karen. meaning, as he'll explain to the four of them, that they can get ahold of him any time they need to, just by talking to it.
oh, and there are also the plans he has for a toy-sized entrance so they have easier access to the house. something akin to an automatic pet door. because clearly adding tech is a way better idea than just adding a smaller sized door. but right now, they're just drawn plans that he'll pull out, along with a few blank sheets of paper so they can try and brainstorm some ideas together of other things they may need around the house.
look, as long as he's a guest here, he wants to be able to offer something in return.]

Morning, Bo.
Or whatever time of day it is.
I woke up with a grappling hook in my basket today. Toy sized.
It would be great if I knew someone else who's good at using these sort of things to help me get a grip on how to use it.
[pick up what he's putting down, bo. let's be stupid.]

Really? Is it the first time anything like that has shown up for you before?
[ as a being who may not be "magic" herself, she's got a unique sort of fascination with hearing about things that just... appear out of nowhere. ]
Well, if you needed a demonstration, I could show you the ropes. So to speak.

I've had a couple things before in the basket.
They're gifts from Sodder, I think.
Jessie and Woody have had some too.
I'm in the kitchen.
Might've cracked the back door glass again. Miscalculation.
Less annoyed about this time.

It's not the easiest tool to figure out. You think I learned how to do it all overnight?
[ it could very well have been something she naturally picked up, knowing her. ]
Is it worth finding out if there's a repair man in the town who's willing to make house calls?

Oh, it's fine. I taped it up.
More interested in swinging around with wild abandon right now.
I also don't doubt that?
I'll be here.
I've found that getting a running start on Bullseye makes flying further easier.

Well, that's one solution, I guess.
And how many times did it take you doing it to reach this conclusion?
[ she's mentally picturing a lot of trial and error, buzz. ]

[in the kitchen, buzz is kicking some stuff into the bin that he might've... broken, while flying into a full speed. it's so very easy to stop being careful when you're too used to humans not being around to catch you! this is their house, he'll do whatever he wants!]
Almost immediately. I know how gravity and kinetic energy work, Miss Peep.

Of course. Smart space explorer like you must be familiar with all kinds of concepts.
