Howdy, Academy. I’m sure most’v ya have heard ‘bout my little accident, an’ I wanted to say thank you to anyone that saw ta me gettin’ fixed up. I’m a bit worn out these days, it’s good ta know that people care ‘nuff to keep me goin’. This stitch’ll hold up fer a while longer, I’m sure

Oh, no leadership class for now?
When do you think you will be back?

[strawbeary_evil]

Soon, I'm hopin'. Just restin' fer now.. don't wanna rush inta teachin' if I can't even walk.

Didja jus' sign up fer the class?

[scarylullaby]

It's better this way, most likely.

Yes, I did. I am Zira. Nice to meet you.
[See? Big kitty cat is nice to stuffed toys.]

[strawbeary_evil]

Pleasure ta meetcha, Zira! The name's Lotso Huggin's Bear, but y'all can just call me Lotso.

[scarylullaby]

Alright, Lotso.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but you're a talking toy. How come you talk? How come you teach?

[strawbeary_evil]

Well, I'm teachin' here fer th' same reason th' other teachers are; ta try an' help somehow.

As fer the talkin' part, all toys can talk, we jus' don't show it, mosta the time.

[scarylullaby]

Mhm. [Though she doubts that Scar is here to help.]

All of them? Are there more here? [Lion. Outland-Lion. She's only heard of toys.]

[strawbeary_evil]

Ah..

[There's a small pause. There used to be toys here, as far as he knows..]

Nope. I'm th' only one here that you'll see movin' around.

[scarylullaby]

Oh, okay.

[She grins.] Does this happen often around here? People getting terribly hurt without remembering by whom or why? [Looking at it this way, it's a cruel question to ask while grinning...]

[strawbeary_evil]

[Yes, that is a wee bit unsettling.]

Not often, at 'least I'd hope not.

[scarylullaby]

Oh. [Little bit of disappointment. But it's gone the next second.]

I see. Yes, it would be pretty awful this way, wouldn't it?

[strawbeary_evil]

It would. I'd rather nobody else got hurt 'round here.
