Oh, Stacy, where it's totally normal for a fifteen year-old to be wandering around the bar with a mug of water, randomly commenting on people's creepy walking dead-eyed teddies.

"Thank you, he's called a Mad Bear. I designed him myself." It was indeed one of her prouder moments getting the toy line in stores where people were buying them up eagerly. They were a particular hit among punks and biker types. Delinquents.
Howard can't exactly see why anyone would design something that sits in the overlap between 'soulless' and 'stoned', but well. People have weird hobbies. Very weird hobbies.
"That depends on your definition of alive." She mused sipping the water and setting the cup down. She took the bear by the ear lifting it up and it wiggled and wobbled.
"It doesn't feel pain, but it has basic emotions, and is absolutely loyal." She set him back down and he performed a awkward bow which ended up with his head bumping on the tabletop.
