"This is Dr. Peter Venkman, Ghostbuster. Or ex-Ghostbuster, I guess, but that depends on how ya look at things. Not like we've been short on ghosts to bust in this place. Leave a message."

[Honesty, the only reason Jessie isn't doing this by video is in case Venkman HAS lost his marbles and he freaks the hell out about the talking doll. She learned that lesson from Will, burn her once, Deerington.]

Hey-howdy-hey. This is your afternoon check-up call to see how your noggin's doing.

[She listens patiently, letting him rattle off the names of people she mostly doesn't know but has memorised for his benefit. ]

Melnitz. I think that's her last name. Janine's, I mean. And yeah, you're a Ghostbuster from New York. Which sounds pretty crazy, but then I'm a sentient ragdoll from the nineteen fifties, so I reckon I've got no place to judge.

[That other stuff is worrying, and good lord she hates Deerington for doing that to him.]

Probably fancy person stuff. [She doesn't know, she wasn't designed for the upper-classes in mind. In the interest of keeping his mind on the real:] Do you remember Slimer?
yodelling: (I did better that these morons)

I guess we're not, huh? Go us. And true, she's probably a... ghost or imaginary or whatever the heck the townsfolk are.

[Take your pick, Venkman- she could be literally anything. Except probably not real. She's gonna let him rant away because if he's ranting, he's remembering, which was kind of the point to the whole exercise.

She's also adding "Dickless" to the list of insults she'll probably never say out loud, but would think pretty dang hard when she's mad. Good job, Venkman, teaching the Disney character fantastic insults. When he finishes, she lets out a soft, awkward chuckle.
]

Sorry. I figured that'd get a rise outta you and you'd remember a little more. Looks like I bet right on that one. He doesn't sound real annoying though, my heart goes out to you.

...I'm gonna take your word on that one. Don't know much of anything about ghosts.

[Aside from the occasional cheesy horror movie they watch while the Anderson's are asleep, anyway. She'll bow to his superior knowledge, here.]

Why does he even need to eat, that's what I'd be asking. But I'd probably not enjoy all my stuff being covered in slime, either. It don't sound like a good time. But sounds like you're stuck with him.

[It's okay, buddy, BE MAD about the gross nightmare, it's better than forgetting everything. ]
yodelling: (And I did it without getting lost)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-17 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds pretty tragic, if you ask me. Always hungry and never getting full.

[She's guessing, anyway. She's never been hungry in her entire existence. What does that feel like?]

I think denying Ray anything would be like saying no to an excitable ten-year-old. Or a puppy. You just can't do it. [Because he's an adorable man-child and she really does love him. Despite everything, it gets a snicker out of him.] A firehouse and a hearse. That's... one heck of a combo you got there.
yodelling: (Out of the goddamn closet)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-18 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...You know, I think it says a lot already that I don't find any of that even a little surprising. I guess after a while, the cops in the city just leave you guys do your own thing. Probably more trouble trying to get you in line than it's worth.

[Better leave the ghost hunters do their ghost hunting and keep out of harms way.]

Don't mention it. I'm just glad I can do something. Heck, it makes me feel better, too.

[Because she gives a shit about you Venkman, too bad for you, that sort of thing's for life with her. And she's practically immortal. ]
yodelling: (Just having a breakdown it's fine)

1/2

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-19 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Ow. That fucking hurt. ]
yodelling: (Yes I do have emotional baggage)

2/2

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-19 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[After a short pause, she's back.]

It's... fine. [It's not.] I knew what I was getting into checking up on you.

[That his descent to forgetting was inevitable and all she could do right now was stem the wound.]

So long as I can keep you remembering stuff from home as long as I can. That's what matters.
yodelling: (Oh hey it's the bae)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-20 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least Jessie's tone turns a little lighter. She loves her little family and will always talk about them happily.]

Woody. That's the cowboy. He's my brother. We're merchandise from the same TV show and everything. Hope he wasn't too rude, he's not got the best social skills, but I promise he's a good guy once you get under all the layers of sarcasm.

[She loves Woody a lot but he's also a crotchety, snarky asshole sometimes. She gets it. ]

There's Bo- but she's not really out all that much, I'm sure when she decides to reveal herself, she will, but that ain't for me to choose. [Because god forbid, Bo deserves some say in this. She tries her best to keep her friend on the down-low as much as possible. ] She's one of the best friends I've ever had, though- a real tough cookie.

The fourth one is Buzz Lightyear. He's an astronaut. He's a real sweetheart, loyal as anything. He's- [she hesitates to try and find the right combinations of words to explain just how much Buzz means to her, but as always comes up short] I'd be lost without him. He means just about everything.
yodelling: (I kicked all the butt!)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-21 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good job, Venkman, you won at a thing!!]

Yup. Woody's Round-Up. It was real popular in the late fifties. It was a national phenomenon and everything. Woody's got the whole series on videotapes back in the house- they showed up in his blessing basket.

[You know. If you ever wanted to watch the glory. The toys won't judge.

Oh. Well. That's sure a reaction she's going to remember. Sure is.
]

Yeah? You got somebody special?
yodelling: (Casual lean)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
We sure are. Heck, Woody would probably insist on it- make you snacks and everything. He loves that show.

[She likes it just fine, but then she's been part of the Woody's Round-Up collection for decades and the shine comes off it after you're boxed up with it for long enough. At least she doesn't seem too put out by him not telling her. ]

Fair enough, you keep your secrets. Whatever makes you happy.

[Look. Look. It took her and Buzz ten entire years to get their shit together- and if anyone had asked her about him back then, she probably would have given much the same answer as Peter has. Feelings are tricky beasts.

Of course, she will still come to her own conclusions when she hears Ray talking about him enough- but Jessie's a good, respectful friend who won't just openly point that out. Venkman is gloriously safe.

yodelling: (And I did it without getting lost)

[personal profile] yodelling 2020-01-24 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it.

[It's nice to hope that they'll see Deerington again. Jessie never thought she'd miss the dang place, but it's for sure the lesser of two evils.]

We are! I know I'd be lost without him. Here or back home, honestly. He's a keeper.

[That sure would be quite the thing. At least toys don't tend to stress out all that much about social conventions. There's one good thing about technically not being people and that's that they don't really judge actual people all that much. ]

Good morning, Dr. Venkman.
I hope you and your friends made it back to Deerington safely.

For what it's worth, I'd like to extend a sincere apology for all that happened during that gathering in Rapture.
I won't bother you with excuses or theories, just a sorry for behaving like a pompous, shrinkwrapped idiot.
