Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)

[gamma_quadrant]

*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.

Um. Hi. *waves*

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

[gamma_quadrant]

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]

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]

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

[carri3_whit3]

Oh good. 'Specially since - like, one'a the bigger ones was statue'a Christ? An' Christ is here in Hufflepuff, an' he's not a bit like that figure a'tall, you know? He's all kinds'a powerful, but he ain't a bit scary 'bout it.

Have you ever known a toy come t'life that wasn't a nice toy?

[gamma_quadrant]

Alright, I'll take your word for it.

Well, that depends... If you've got an action figure of a hero, like I am, there's probably an action figure of a villain, too, right? They're not bad toys, as such, it's just that... Some toys don't really know they're toys. I didn't, at first. So, for instance, an action figure of, say, Emperor Zurg, thinks he's the real Zurg, so his impulse is to try to destroy Buzz Lightyear and take over the galaxy. Until the toy is actually owned and played with by a child, they never have the chance to learn otherwise.

[carri3_whit3]

Gotcha. Careful with the villain dolls 'less'n you're sure they play nice.

If you're a hero doll, I guess you'll wanna be in Gryffindor?

[gamma_quadrant]

Yes, I think Gryffindor would probably suit me best.

Vote: Gryffindor

[carri3_whit3]

Okay, then I'll vote Gryffindor.

Thanks for tellin' me 'bout the statues. I feel better now. *smiles*
