Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)

Jan 07, 2007 10:13

*A small spaceship that appears to be made out of cardboard flies into the room. It lands upright on a chair, and the front opens to allow what appears to be a foot-high astronaut out.* I told them I could get that hovercraft motor to work.

( Buzz Lightyear to Star Command, come in Star Command... )

A TV set held aloft by hydraulic arms rolls into the Sorting Room on a skateboard, and stops in front of Buzz. The screen snaps to life with a crackle and*pop* and a Head appears.

"Hai-Hai-Hail fellah well met! HhEeEeEeE!!!!1!1!

Who's. Who's. Who's. Who's Andy?" The Head on the screen looks from side to side. "Izzee here? AaAaNnDdYyYyY!!!!1!11!"

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 20:58:14 UTC

*Buzz jumps and reflexively activates his laser. Good thing it's just a lightbulb, huh?*

... Greetings.

Andy's the kid I belong to. I hope he's not here - we've been trying our hardest to make sure he doesn't know we're alive.

mmmax_headroom January 7 2007, 21:01:48 UTC

The Head nods. "Edison's the kid I be-be-belong to. He doesn't think. think. think. I'm alive either. HaAaAaH! Silly bo-bo-boys!" It leans in to the 'camera.' "MAX HEADROOM here, Comman-man-mander. Been here since summer, haven't me-me-met an Andy."

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 21:08:16 UTC

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Headroom. I'm Buzz Lightyear, but please, call me Buzz. And I'm afraid I'm certainly not a commander. I'm flattered, though.

Quaxo looked excited. In fact, he was nearly bouncing.

"Can I have a bouncy ball?" he asked hopefully, eyes shining. "I used to have one before, but I've lost it. It'd be nice to have another one."

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 21:33:23 UTC

Sure, just a second. *Buzz rummages around in the ship for a moment before returning with a large superball.* Does this one look good?

pollicle_zapper January 7 2007, 21:58:52 UTC

Quaxo accepted the toy quite happily and beamed at Buzz. "Oh yeah! Thanks!" He tried it out, and looked quite pleased when the ball bounced, and he caught it again. Perfect! He was going to have lots of fun with this one. He just hoped he didn't hit something fragile. That would be really embarrassing.

"I am bribed!" he declared and pocketed the superball. "Okay, so where do you want to go?" He peered at the little astronaut, and seemed to realise what it was he was talking to. Quaxo had a tendency to do that when he got excited. Huh. He blinked. That was odd. A talking little toy. But kind of fun too. He'd always known toys could talk, and it was nice to have it confirmed.

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 22:00:53 UTC

I think I'd probably fit best in Gryffindor.

I'm Buzz, by the way. Buzz Lightyear. *Buzz holds out a hand.*

At first, Fraser was a little worried to be confronted with what appeared to be a living action figure. Magic school or no, he was fairly sure that wasn't standard. On the other hand, he reasoned, many cultures had tales of figurines and statuary coming to life, and if that were going to happen anywhere, this seemed like this place, and he really had no place to talk about 'weird' when he regularly held conversations with his dead father... Besides, the spaceman had mentioned something that had piqued his interest.

"Assuming I don't have a hole in my bag of marbles, did, ah... did you say something about dealing with arguments?"

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 22:37:36 UTC

*And - drumroll please - the first voter to question his sanity IS...*

I can, if the need arises - I've had to often enough. I'm not exactly a psychologist, but...

themountie January 7 2007, 22:44:45 UTC

"I see." Well, he couldn't talk about this with Diefenbaker, and he couldn't talk about this with the aforementioned dead father, and he certainly couldn't talk about it with Ray, so... why not vent to a foot-high astronaut?

Fraser crouched. "You see, I... well, normally, I try to be polite as possible, and I strive to be tolerant and respectful of those I work with. Now, I've been working with this partner for the last two years, and I understand that arguments will arise, of course they will, but our circumstances... changed, recently, and..." He sighed. "Well, now we can't seem to stop arguing."

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 22:46:26 UTC

What sort of things have you been arguing about?

Salamander is rapidly coming to the conclusion that this hogwarts place is the most fascinating, interesting and indeed entertaining place he's ever been forced to lodge. He is quite sure that his life has now reached a pinacle of strangeness. The small man in the sorting room does not appear to be some kind of wildfolk, for he's far too intelligent, but he's unlike any toy Salamander has ever had ocassiont to sea in any realm he's travelled to thus far.

"Good day sir," Salamander squats down on his knees, multicoloured cloak falling around him. "It is my very good pleasure to make your acquaintance, you may call me Salamander. Ah, pray tell just what IS a space ranger?"

gamma_quadrant January 7 2007, 23:55:19 UTC

Pleased to meet you, Salamander. My name's Buzz. Buzz Lightyear.

A Space Ranger is charged by Star Command with keeping peace throughout the galaxy; I'm part of the Universe Protection Unit, so my goal is to thwart a being known as Emperor Zurg, who's trying to take over the galaxy.

"Is he really?" Salamander appears perplexed "I should have thought Nevyn would have known all about that if he was, but i suppose even the old man must slip up sometime. " he sounds rather gleeful at the prospect. "At any rate that sounds like a very grave matter indeed, it just so happens that my friends and I have dealt with all sorts of grave matters involving dark dweomer so perhaps we might aid you on your quest. At any rate you must tell me all about it sometime, I am somewhat of a collector, cataloguer, one might even say scholar, of odd and intrigueing tales of adventure. If I may be so bold I could suggest that i might take it as payment for being sorted."

gamma_quadrant January 8 2007, 00:26:26 UTC

Well, I doubt anyone would know about it before they'd invented space travel.

carri3_whit3 January 7 2007, 23:38:10 UTC

Um. Hi. *waves*

...are all little person-statues alive when nobody's lookin'? Or is it just toys?

gamma_quadrant January 8 2007, 00:01:57 UTC

Hello, ma'am. Pleased to meet you. I'm Buzz Lightyear.

As far as I know, it's only toys that come to life. And not necessarily always the ones that look like people - a good friend of mine is a remote-controlled car. Of course, they may not come to life everywhere, but it seems to work everywhere I've been.

carri3_whit3 January 8 2007, 00:20:16 UTC

Oh good. 'Cause my mama used't'have some church statuettes she kept in a closet that were just - well, I guess they'd look okay in the middle of a room, but when you're lookin' at 'em in a dark closet they're just creepy. I used't'have bad dreams 'bout them comin' t'life an' comin' after me.

gamma_quadrant January 8 2007, 00:23:03 UTC

No, I think that's just nightmares. If decorations come to life, they've never done it when I'm there.
