[It's taken some time for him to sit down and actually try this because every instinct he has is screaming at him that it's not allowed. The rules toys follow aren't just something they choose to follow, they're instinct. Instinct they can fight, certainly - like when he and Sid's toys had scared Sid - but instinct nevertheless.]
[But this is a special circumstance and maybe Buzz has the right idea. One of the big people had been nice to him, sabotaging his back switch so it didn't actually change anything when switched to demo mode.]
[This situation is so much bigger than them, bigger than any other chaotic situation they've ever faced, bigger even than their little prison break at Sunnyside. What's an escape from a daycare compared to an otherdimensional...whatever? A place where magical shock devices have been put inside them and now they're being expected to, what, go on missions? His only job is being huggable and good for playing pretend. How that's supposed to translate to "missions" is beyond him.]
[In any case, it's so big that maybe he and Buzz need a little help from the big people. Or at least for them to know the two toys hanging around are actually alive.]
[But that doesn't mean it's easy to talk to them. He decides to do it first over text. And decides to maybe test the waters a little instead of launching right into "Hi I'm woody, I'm a talking rag doll."]
[The comm is almost as big as he is, so he has to rely on the voice-to-text to type anything because it's so much work hitting all the buttons.]
Hi. Hello. So.
How nonhuman would someone have to be for you all to think they were too weird for you to want to deal with? Asking for a friend.

Re: video
Now see here I was worried about being something new to everyone else but a bouncing cat is new to me, too.
[He rubs at his plastic head in lieu of putting his hand through his hair.]
It's a relief people are taking this in stride. It's not like I can even give an explanation. In my world, all toys are alive like I am, and not a single one of us knows how.
Re: video
[ He’s not plastic-hair rubbing new, but the cat does seem to cause eyebrows to raise wherever he goes. Superheroes are trite, supercats are lit. ]
All the toys? Oh man. I’m kinda hoping it’s not my world. Niels has mauled a few plus hire in his time, and that would be... awkward. But - yeah, I wasn’t going to ask for a reason. Even if you had a reason, it probably wouldn’t make sense. Like - raise your hand if you’ve been zapped with an experimental ray gun.
[ Robbie raises his hand, and then raises Niels’ paw. ]
It just brings on more questions. So, do you prefer sentient being, toyetic sentient, or sentient toy? I usually default to people, but I’m working on getting sentient to be my generic noun of choice.
