[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

hold on wait im unable to Scribble rn but i had this Lights Out interaction in my head and i need to put it somewhere before i forget. Okay so the scene is Howdy, Poppy, Frank, and Wally are all having quiet time in the post office. just vibing.

Howdy: i'm going to say something harsh

Poppy: that's alright. we understand <3

Frank: go ahead, it's better than bottling it up

Howdy:

Howdy, near tears: you're all so boring i think it's actually killing me

Poppy / Frank / Wally: ...

#he would Kill for one of barnaby's jokes #i imagine that when wally announces someone else has woken up howdy sprints through the darkness to the storage room #so so ready to have his Pal™️ back. someone with a sense of humor! someone he can really talk to! Enrichment for the Enclosure! #and then he gets there and its. its fucking eddie #he would break down sobbing... #he'd hold a completely uncalled for grudge <3 #wh lights out au #of course wally would take it literally and start trying to remember jokes barnaby taught him #of course its been so long that he doesnt remember any but hes Trying #at least his attempts confuse howdy enough to bring Some sort of... entertainment? can it be called that? #i think all three of em would try to either make jokes or deeper conversation with howdy #but hes just too fast and punny for them... they cant keep up or they cant relate i think #at least he and poppy can hold conversations about their large families #until they remember that hey! those families were fake memories! they never even existed! #and then they get really sad. wally tells a horribly butchered joke & frank tries to distract them with bug/plant facts
