now...there are 2 ways Barnaby can react to his missing arm option 1: "WHERE [no no word] IS MY ARM??!!"

or option 2: "oh...erm...my arm's missing...ain't that....something..."

secret third option, actually!

"huh... guess i'm all right now"

#howdy promptly bursts out wheezing too hard to even make sound #while poppy and frank are mildly uncomfortable and wally is still processing that that was a Joke #granted. a joke said in a very Im Terrified/Disturbed & Trying To Hide It tone of voice... #actually huh. Huh. i just had a Thought #i mean everything ive said so far still absolutely stands #but... i think theyd move barnaby's unconscious body into the post office after julie wakes up #since they know its Inevitable! #so barnaby would wake up probably with at least poppy unless something is going on elsewhere that requires her help #maybe eddie fell in the lake again idk #or he'd wake up. poppy is elsewhere in the Very Packed office #he'd be '????' then notice the arm #he'd probably just lay back and stare at the ceiling. Processing. trying not to freak out #then later makes the joke about it #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #hm... maybe howdy and wally are elsewhere #and then someone - eddie? frank? julie? - runs to tell them that barn is up #and Thats when they sprint like hell back to base without a care for noise <3
