Libby/DogDay, I want you to be the Terran. They’re the best bots.
Dogday: I'm just getting started!
I got some questions for Libby/DogDay.
Q1. What is your opinion on movies like Toy Story and Shrek 2 and show like Beast War? (Since I don’t think you CGI movies and/or show before)
Q2. What do you do with player now that he saved you from the factory?
Q3. Does Player’s family know about you?
P.Layer: They're still sleeping so I'll answer for her while they wakes up.
P.Layer: On one of Poppy and Kissy's visits, they invited them to a sleepover for Libby, and they used the movies you recommended as a suggestion to watch.
P.Layer: with the Toy story movies… well…
P.Layer: The improvement of the 3D that they knew from the VHS tapes made them believe that it was real, and since they were toys… well… they took it as a horror movie; They didn't stop screaming until it was over (and it took a while for them to calm down and convince them that nothing was real, and for Kissy not to throw my TV).
P.Layer: with Shrek, ironically they did like it; I would say too much… they sang "I need a hero" at least an hour before going to sleep
P.Layer: ohh, They already got up, DD already answers the next one.
Dogday: I've thought about it, but Angel doesn't want me to stand out for now; You know, lately the area around the factory has been full of strange people.
Dogday: So for now I limit myself to stopping thieves who break into Angel's house (by the way, that reminds me that I have to tell him to tighten the security)
Dogday: For me, I would protect him and with great pleasure, although I don't know if he would be like one of those cool guys from "men in black movies", or one of the "saburai" that Craft told about... He said that they were very dedicated warriors to their "lords" and that they had a big cool sword.
Dogday: And regarding the last one, well… Angel commented that he was alone a long time ago and that's why he worked at Playtime Co. with no other reason than to survive at all costs.
Dogday: and that although he loved someone and wanted someone to have a family, but; they're suffered a fateful fate for "that hour" ...
Dogday: so, for now; I am the closest to his "family"...
Dogday: which has not made me forget the horrible experimentations, I have forgotten on my own out of a sense of involuntary mental preservation.
Dogday: Angel calls it "trauma amnesia", I forget very specific names and faces... and it is difficult for me to see adults as people and I see them as dummies, maybe that's why I'm not aggressive until they hurt me.
Dogday: from before arriving at playtime Co and before to be Dogday... well I still have things clear and things I would like to forget; but who hurt me...
Dogday: ... let's just say they "lost the right" to care to remember them. I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of still tormenting me, so trying to forget them will be the best. For now, I know who I was, I know what the names of the people I loved the most were and I know that once I recover; dogday must follow. and with that, I'm fine; for now.
Poppy's Angel reaction to see this bed=
The bed is perfect for Dogday; but Dogday doesn't know how to react to it.
question for you both , do you want a hug ?
Dogday: both? Libby is Dogday and Dogday was Libby; There is no "both", there is an "I"...
Dogday: but, regardless of "who" I am; I love hugs, I miss being asked for them. So try to give one that you feel even in your soul with affection!
Hey, ummm Lilibeth Faith, may I ask some questions.
How did you react to becoming DogDay and having your voice be Harley Sawyer?
What do you do now that you live with Angel?
Dogday: you don't need to be so formal sir; my complete name is only for formal moments, you can call me Libby or Dogday. However you feel more comfy to call me.
Dogday: but, in the first question, I must tell all my entire reaction to it.
P! Dogday: «Ugh... my Head... II knew this place was uncanny… and knew there were monsters here… but I didn't know that one was going to slice me up like ha-»
P!Dogday: «uhhh... Wha-»
P!Dogday: «Were's my hands?! And my legs?!»
P!Dogday: «What's happen with-»
P!Dogday: me?...
panic attack incoming in 3... 2... 1...
P!Dogday: WHERE'S MY VOICE?!
Dogday: And later, I scream and I became hysterical for at least 2 hours. ...Don't judge me; If at one point you think you are following an old friend whom you missed very much the day you were going to be adopted, but who is actually a big metal monster with a knife, you faint for obvious reasons and feel like you are going to die. losing vital signs and everything. You wake up again transformed into a giant 14-foot-tall dog, and to top it all off you sound like the most evil being in playcare; They would do the same.
Dogday: And about the second... well...
Dogday: Who said Dogday was still alive?
P.Layer: DOGDAY! I have told you many times that you don't have to feel regret about being alive!
Dogday: Sorry Mr. Angel... I'm just kidding...
P.Layer: I will believe it the day I know that it does not affect you to say or think having survived.
Dogday: Sorry...
P.Layer: Come on dear, come here; It's time for your daily review
Dogday: I'm coming.
"Sorry about that, DD has a hard time processing the fact that she is free and can rest easy. His body is the same as his mood; a disaster that decays easily so I must be on the lookout."
[More information about the person who was turned into Bobby Bearhug].
Minerva Maria Altamira Velez, (experiment #1191 or "Bobby Bearhug"), Minerva Navarro for short or "Minnie" affectionately referred to; She was one of the girls who came to playcare on the adoption day that was held to have orphans and was selected as to be one of the smiling critters, Bobby bearhug in her case.
like her last name and having two first and last names, he is from abroad; specifically from Colombia.
During those years, her country was in a period of too strong violence (Google it, there was no worse period to be Colombian than the 80's), so much so that Minerva's parents, in desperation, decided to escape to the United States illegally; but they were arrested and Minerva was separated from her parents when she was 10 and moving between orphanages until she was sent to playtime CO in their adoption program.
Minnie was initially highly rejected for not speaking or writing the language, and although she had to learn it forcibly to be able to communicate when she mastered it, she continued to be rejected by other orphans; However, she became an important figure for the young children newly arrived from playcare (which is why she was cast as Bobby).
On the game station Minnie had the record until 1993 for whack-a-huggie.
She was highly susceptible to panic attacks when exposed to red gas.
Minnie has a habit of becoming overprotective of other orphans when they are kind to her, becoming excessively sentimental and clingy with the person who earned it.
On the contrary, she hates adults in general.
She had a sworn feud with another of the oldest girls at the orphanage, Margarette Collins; who was a bully towards the younger children as a result of the frustration of becoming too big to be, and their mutual hatred lasted so much that she even turned into Bobby,she was still hostile to the girl.
Although she really liked the oatmeal with honey from Home Sweet Home, her favorite food was the arepas de chocolo with coffee with milk for breakfast.
She was "adopted" at the end of 1990 year when she has almost 13.Before that, she left her "job" of taking care of the little ones to Kennichi and Lilibeth so that Margarette wouldn't do whatever she wanted with them; And to this one she left all her old clothes thinking that she wouldn't need them anymore.
Extra note: Minnie is the red-haired girl from this draw.
After the conversion process from human to experiment, he was officially the second smiling critter to arrive at playcare.
She is also the second/last smiling critter to possess claws and brute strength similar to Catnap's.
Bobby doesn't have much of a sense of herself until at one point Dogday tells her who is who to all the critters before they are bigger bodies; However, she could recognize and deal with the little ones from the daycare.
Bobby was Dogday's official right-hand bear from the beginning to the end of her life, in the hour of joy he had the mission of protecting the children from red gas or the attack of catnap or some playcare toy.
Bobby survived that massacre; However, she was seriously injured trying to protect all the playcare children when the prototype gave the order to all his followers to kill them because "they are too contaminated to give them salvation, they will be the same as those who did this to us; we will nip that evil in the bud." "
Bobby (not counting Dogday himself, since he had been presumed dead) was the last smiling critter of the bigger bodies to die, in her case; She died giving up and letting Experiment 1006 kill her when she no longer had anything to fight for, she lost her friends, her leader, her mission in life and she was already too hurt to be able to take a step. further.
mild reminder: Catnap and Dogday got along like cats and dogs, pardon the redundancy; and no matter how hard Dogday tried, he simply needed someone to trust. So Bobby gladly took that best friend/right hand box.
Minnie and Libby:
Minnie and Libby met in the first days when Libby joined playcare, but due to the number of bruises she had when she arrived, several children were afraid of her even though she tried to be friendly. Minerva was also terrified when she saw her like That, but her reaction completely changed when she tried to introduce herself and asked if they could be friends. Minnie burst into tears, she said yes and a thousand times yes; while Libby was confused why he gave her a hug.
They have a brotherhood-like bond.
I have a recurring joke that there is no one who hates that Dogday has the voice of Dr. Harley Sawyer than Dogday himself, but if I could visualize what Dogday's voice was like when he was still Libby…
But,If you want to look for a resemblance of what they would sound like before that, she would definitely sound similar to Sweetie belle from MLP: FiM.
The "plan b" or alternative voice, It would be similar to the voice of the young Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.
In any cases, Libby has all the hatred in the world for her "current" voice and has learned to modulate it so that it resembles that of the cartoon so as not to please the doctor in his attempt to deceive the little ones.
[If you've never seen MlP FiM, don't worry; I leave an audio so you can have an idea of what it would sound like.]
Question for DogDay: How did you reacted to having Harley Sawyer’s voice?
Dogday: hi Mister or miss. Well... I reacted in the most common way that any child who has been in playcare would have...
Dogday: ...scream in panic and want to be killed
Flashback dogday: AID! HELP! I WANT TO DIE! I SOUND WORSE THAN THE DEVIL!
This is just a sketch I made on Twitter combining two of my hyperfixations = my first love (madoka magica) and the most recent one (Poppy playtime).
…but knowing what Kyubey is like and what the Playtime Co. scientists are like, what do you think Libby wants?
I got a joke for Lilibeth Faith.
‘Clear Throat’
What you and the Autobot Jazz have in common?
You both like to ‘split’!
Libby: I don't undertand, father didn't allow tv or toys in the house. Playcare only accepts this owns toys... But I can laugh anywhere, a joke is a joke. Haha!
Many years later...
Dogday: *cut in half and hung* I'm still don't understand this joke...
now; I will be for you... Minnie... Kenny...
(this Sketch are the first concept about Libby and Dogday + a little Bit of lore of them).
MORE ABOUT LIBBY:
As mentioned above, she was an orphan who ended up in the playtime CO adoption program to be adopted by one of the employees at playcare, and was selected as to be one of the smiling critters, specifically; Dogday. (I don't think that the gender of the children is a great influence in deciding which children will be experiments for the bigger bodies initiative.)
She lost her parents because of a "strange religion" so the topic is something delicate for her.
Originally due to all the reasons, the team of scientists wanted to place it in "experimentation" as soon as possible (#1189-#1201); However, it started to be a problem when a certain Playtime manager had taken a liking to her and had her under some protection.
She was known for being a quite sociable and charismatic child among other orphans, however with adults she was a completely different thing being withdrawn and quiet.
She used to be constantly hurt and wearing Band-Aids (playTime co. trademark) due to her own childhood hyperactivity and was often an easy target for older children caused by the panic of not being adopted. (Libby in general did not usually betray them or return evil because she did not see the point of revenge).
Extra note: he reason for her appearance in the story (specifically her haircut and several of his clothes) is based on several protagonists of Ghibli films.
She favorite food was the po' boys sandwiches and chicken and waffles (which causes a misunderstanding when, already converted into dogday, he said "man, how much I would kill to eat a po' boy" and catnap left him the body of a deceased child).
Her favorites Playtime Co. toys are the smiling critters, Candy cat and PJ pug-a-pillar (although Libby was only able to buy 2 smiling critters at the toy store during his entire stay at playcare)
She hates the playtime Co. Doctor's, according to her because they were very rude and scary.
Libby "died" at the age of 9 due to an attack by the prototype.
It should be noted that Libby's clear annoyance and confusion at being turned into dogday made it difficult for the playtime co. scientists deal with him.
The biggest problem in being turned into dogday in a curious way was not the fact that it was referred to as masculine; Instead, they put Dr. Sawyer's voice on the voice box.
extra note: dogday has no problem being referred to as a boy (he/him), however it was VERY confusing for him at first and many times he did not respond or had a hard time saying that; so he started referring to himself in the third person "dogday says..." or "dogday thinks...". He keeps his true identity a secret so that there is no confusion about what to call him (although he will be happy when he is treated femininely)
Returning to the topic of the voice box, this was a strategy of scientists who were aware of the fear and rejection that Dr. Harley Sawyer and that unlike Elliot Ludwing, he did not have a very charismatic personality or very kind to them in general. So, adding the fact that they had to turn Libby into an experiment, they thought that if Dogday had the same voice and interacted with the little ones in a friendly way, they could trick the children into confusing the smiling critter's voice with that of the scientist. (Dogday refused to collaborate; being the one who fears and rejects the doctor the most, so he learned to imitate the cartoon's voice as best as possible).
That made him create a sworn enmity with the scientists; constantly punishing him when the children did not see him, denying him food and when they gave him food it was portions of poor quality raw meat (which made Dogday prefer to endure hunger than eat it).
Not counting that enmity with the scientists, due to his duties in the counselor's office as an assistant and "therapy dog" for the children who came, he had a broader perspective that there were "angel employees" and "evil employees." even witnessing when one was upset about the whereabouts of one of the children he was going to adopt and hearing their complains about not being able to get out of there.
(hell yeah... This story is more complicated...)
Remember when I mentioned that the reason Libby hadn't been experimented on before was because a high-up Playtime official had taken a liking to her? well, whoever she was the player is the person.
At first both were irrelevant to each other's lives (the player because he was just another worker, and Libby because of her shyness with adults); However, after an absurd incident with Barry's toy, it was enough for them to meet.
Once Libby had come into confidence with Player, she can't pronounce his name correctly, so she affectionately call to him as "Mr. Angel" and ran to hug him, give him drawings and crafts made in class whenever she could.
The scientists thought that perhaps it was a ruse to get the girl to believe in him, in any case they knew that he had already done more terrible things for the company... but they were shocked to know that he was taking the issue of Libby seriously as a legitimate adoption. even giving her gifts along the way (including the famous "tragedy dress").
Once Player entered the complex adoption process to be able to take Libby from Playcare, he learned the worst side of the scientists and managers of Playtime Co.; He spent two whole years fighting for it until he was able to find a legal loophole where either the girl would be handed over to him or he would publicly declare everything the company has done without caring that it would sink him in the process.
...unfortunately the day he was going to take her, she disappeared and only a bloody piece of the sunflower dress she was wearing that day appeared; and scientists left her for dead in an accident in the restricted area.
After Libby's disappearance and "dead", Player was never able to return to playcare so he demanded to be changed sections shortly before Dogday went into operation. They were never able to cross paths again.
a massacre and 10 years later; They cross paths again. Dogday cannot recognize his "Mr. Angel" and only called him that because it was the first time in a long time that he heard friendly footsteps; However, the mere fact that he referred to "Angel" and that player assumed that all the bigger bodies were children, it didn't take him long to realize that that poor ragged dog would be his sweet little Libby.
The shock of that possibility was so great that the mere idea made him remain paralyzed while the bigger dog said his monologue before he warned him to run away from there.
Extra note: in the timeline where he did react in time and saved Dogday from that cruel fate, he couldn't help but burst into tears and hug him, begging for forgiveness. while dogday would be confused.
(Let's not lie to each other, everyone even me came for this-)
Ohh boy... How I can start this?...
Their relationship was one-sized from minute 0.
Libby wanted to be friends with Theo however she wanted, because she considered him to be a very shy and quiet boy; Theodore, she tried to talk about him all the time with different topics until she could find a common topic.
Theodore for his way... he only considered her annoying and a waste of time to spend with his true friend, 1006.
Which got worse when Libby realized that, like her, he was a fan of the smilling critters show and that it bothered him that Catnap had disappeared from the shelves (she was even able to give him his catnap stuffed animal to keep him happy; which he still thinks is a nuisance but he appreciates the stuffed animal)
When Theodore disappeared, Libby got really sad; while Theo couldn't care less that it was Libby's... that is, until her resistance to her poppy gas became present and Catnap had to be more aware of her. (in the end it could be useful to his angel)
dogday also strived to be friendly with catnap and that it will integrate with the others.
That unilateral dynamic is cut when the theme of the "hour of joy" becomes present.
dogday understands everyone's motives in wanting to participate; but it starts to be a problem for catnap when your "and there's no other way?" along with their “and then what?” They made other toys start to doubt the prototype... that annoyance towards Dogday turned into legitimate hatred.
Extra note: In an alternative line where Theo likes Libby things would be slightly different, he would be rude because he doesn't know how to be sweet with her and he would even ask 1006 for advice on how to be romantic (of course it would end in failure).
Despite everything, for Dogday things would only end up being him alone, being the last smiling critter standing, completely a prisoner and feeling stupid for having wanted to be friends with that thing called catnap.
While it is debated whether Dogday is a child or a former employee of PT CO.; I had the crazy idea of making Dogday's person a ghibli-type girl (but with a disastrous end).
Dogday was experiment #1202. Before she to be Dogday, he was a girl named Lilibeth Faith.
Lilibeth (can yo call her Libby) was just a little girl with bad luck, who fell into even worse luck who just wanted a home or at least spend every day well in playcare.
Libby and Catnap.
For Libby, catnap was a kind of Totoro for Satsuki and Mei. A giant creature that she saw in a friendly way. For Catnap, Libby was a nuisance. But he had to keep an eye on her due to the anomaly of initially being immune to red gas.
Of course, after becoming dogday and realizing that he was only studying her, he has some anger on him.(Dogday has done).
The dress of the tragedy.
The scientists at Playtime CO. Due to the initial abnormality of her resistance to poppy gas, she was seen as an undeniable candidate to be an experiment for the bigger bodies initiative. However, they had a problem: a certain high-ranking Playtime CO official. He had become attached to the girl, and had protected her from her to even legitimately adopt her. However; The prototype, out of curiosity, intervened in favor of the scientists; him tricking her by pretending to be Theodore and making her follow his voice until he was able to wound her almost mortally to hand her over to the scientists.
Because of Libby's critical condition, they had to turn her into an experiment in a hurry.The torn dress with dried blood is the only proof of her past that Dogday has left.
