looking for a game

[used2btoonpi]

Seriously?

Look lady, I'm not in the mood to deal with any a this. I got places to be and toons to watch. If you're gonna drag me out of retirement at least do it when you know where the hell I'm gonna end up?

[Runs a hand over his face.]

Geez, you're gonna do it anyway. Perfect.

It'll be fun, Mr. Valiant! You'll see! I'm in a game myself!

[onebadapple]

Oh Eddie, you're as bad as Grumpy sometimes.

[used2btoonpi]

You are?

[slight worry.]

What kinda game, kid?

[used2btoonpi]

If he got ticked over something like this, I'd agree with him.

Pause]

Tell me you aren't in one of these games. From what I remember, they're no place for a Toon.

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Well, it's called halloweentown, it's run by Mr. Jack Skellington and Mrs. Sally Ragdoll! They were very far after our time, but I've gotten a chance to meet them, and they're lovely!

Though I am a bit worried about the voodoo dolls we're getting on mother's day.

[onebadapple]

I bet you would! [She laughed.]

I am, actually, but it isn't so bad. Most aren't Toon friendly by any means, but you just have to keep positive about it, Eddie.

[meeganalakweesta]

[Stitch is just gonna look up at you]

Lost too? Stitch lost.

[notjustanytoon]

We all need to occupy ourselves somehow, don't we, Mr. Valiant?

[used2btoonpi]

Jack and Sally?

[He shakes his head.]

Yeah, I ain't heard of 'em. But my mun seems pretty happy about it.
....but voodoo dolls? That seems a bit out there for even a pair of Toons.

[used2btoonpi]

[And he is going to worry a smidge now.]

You're not at one of the not Toon-friendly ones are you?

[used2btoonpi]

[Oh hey, a new toon.]

Lost? Uh, possibly. I think I'm just loiterin' for now.

What studio are you from? I could try to help you out.

[It was sort of his job.]

[used2btoonpi]

Yeah we do.

And I'm tempted to occupy myself by putting my fist through your nose!

[madcuriosity]

Mnn, they're a bit out there. They aren't funny Toons like Mr. Roger and Mr. Bugs, they're... well, I suppose I don't know how best to explain them, because they're not Toons, you see. They're almost Toons and not at all human, before you ask.

They're clay for one, that isn't like ink and lead, Mr. Eddie, you can't hurt ink, but you can certainly hurt clay.

[onebadapple]

Oh no, no, my writer is very considerate about that. I'm in the same game as little Alice up above. It suits me just fine, and the games before that were all very friendly, they all knew me right away!

[used2btoonpi]

That's something I'm noticing about toons around here. Funny isn't the main idea.

[Listening, he knows that Walt always put just a bit more into his toons than the others did. Ink Actors or something like that.]

Clay toons...I got a lot ta catch up on *sigh* and you can hurt ink, Alice. Trust me on that one.

[Almost toons. Interesting. Maybe getting dragged to a game wouldn't be too bad after all.]

[used2btoonpi]

this Halloween Town place?

[Have a smirky smile, Snow.]

Well, you changed a whole lot of ideas back in the day, kid. Be a shame if no one remembered 'em.

[madcuriosity]

I was never meant to be funny, I suppose, either. Most of us from Mr. Disney were never anything like Mr. Goofy and Mr. Donald. [Just look at Princess Cinderella.]

I do trust you, Mr. Eddie. [She smiled, but just as Jessica was drawn to be bad, Alice was drawn a child, would forever remain one, much like Baby Herman, though never so crude.]

But Mr. Eddie, if you need to catch up, I'd be happy to help! I've been out and about quite a bit in this place, I've met all sorts.

[onebadapple]

Yes, that's right. With a few other Toons as well! Although, they're Toons from Japan, though still so very nice.

[She smiled and winked. She was the first feature length, animated, color, and American cartoon in existence, you sure bet she changed ideas back in the day.]

Well, I still try to change things when and where I can.

[meeganalakweesta]

[Stitch looks up, and wrinkles his nose in thought]

Meega... Mouse! [A nod. Yes, his boss is the mouse]

[used2btoonpi]

Meega?

[Mouse he gets.]

Mouse...you're from Disney? And I thought the early day designs were off kilter. What's your name, kid?

[used2btoonpi]

Yeah, makes it less of a headache for guys like me. [Which is appreciated.]

I know, kid, I know. [He realizes this, which is probably why he actually takes any advice she gives him. Level headed toons are kind of hard to come by. At least ones that have stuck around.]

Now that I can buy. I'm about sixty years behind on all this. [Vague glance around.]

[used2btoonpi]

Japan?

[Post-WWII PI here. He's a little iffy on that but mun is reassuring. Japan is our friend now.]

Good. I'd hate to see you just sitting around, Snow. So, tell me more about this Halloween place. My uh, mun is getting interested.

[meeganalakweesta]

Meega... me. [A claw gestures at himself] My name Stitch, yeah, Stitch. Lilo named me. Is good name.

[used2btoonpi]

Ah, I'll try to remember that.

[Stitch? Stitch and Lilo. Okay now it did sound like Disney.]

It is, something different for a toon but I'm starting to see the pattern here.

[meeganalakweesta]

What your name?

[Sorry, Eddie, but Stitch is a new Toon. He hasn't heard of your greatness.]
