To Libby/DogDay, are there any other movies or shows you watch?
Like, for ex: The Incredible and Beast War
Dogday: I tried to watch Beast Wars, but it just made me sick… I'm sorry...
What is DogDay/Libby’s opinion on RiffTrax and MST3K?
Dogday:... Rift-what and MST-What?
Hey Libby/ DogDay,
I see that you enjoyed Pete and Callie and wanted to meet more like them. So meet their friends: Emma the Pug, Sally Squirrel, Gustavo Ornitorrinco, and Grumpy Toad.
Dogday: Angel...
Player: NO! They must return home.
Dogday: *puppy pouts*
I got two question.
What is Libby/DogDay’s relationship with Poppy and Kissy?
What is her opinion on the show Beast War? (If she seen it)
Dogday: Well...
Dogday: Poppy when I was human was a kind of urban legend about a Poppy doll who could roam around the factory as if she were a little fairy. but I really met her one day where I was hiding from the tests with my resistance to red gas... Poppy scolded me for being out of bed and and she walked me back to bed.
Dogday: When I became Dogday I didn't see her again until everything from the time of joy had passed and before her confinement; several toys were either against it or since I didn't know the situation entirely, I tried to plan a countermeasure where the smaller toys would try to escape from the factory and use any means to seek help… but they were captured (Poppy by the prototype, the other small toys if they didn't die were kidnapped by the specialists). She only begged us to survive...
Dogday: She and I currently have a cordial relationship, she insists that I go to the factory again; but I remain firm in not wanting to go back there.
Dogday: with Kissy; we met her when, in an attempt to move us to a safer place, another Bigger Body and she had given up on the prototype when they saw that not only had she not kept her word by releasing us from the factory once the specialists stopped arriving; she but she killed the children who swore to avoid such a fate. It was even more difficult to trust her but she proved to be a good girl... and boy is she good with the pranks!
Dogday :Yo, kissy!! tell the joke about the wuggys and the letters!
Kissy:...
Kissy:...
Dogday: *doggy giggles*
Dogday: Oh, about the serie? I tried to watch it; but 3D series that look like toys make me want to vomit… so I put the VHS away after 5 minutes...sorry, it's not you, I'm still dealing with the traumas…
For DogDay, what’s you opinion on Optimus Prime?
Dogday: He's a cool robot, he's so big he could me 'pat pat' on the head. but I still have a hard time keeping track of his series... and his death made me sad...
To Libby/DogDay…..
WHERE IS MY SUPERSUIT?!
Dogday: *doggy giggles while eating popcorn*
Dogday's Guide Map
Now more recovered and after the summer, Dogday (now repaired) had time to explore his surroundings in more detail and made this map to understand what surrounds him.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The city = a small city in a rural area, according to Mr. Angel the city lived in a better time because the factory was its main source of employment and after the end of the 90's many people left, now it is a rural area. It is common for many children to walk through the forest leaving school (and Dogday and Kissy were confused by Bigfoot a couple of times)
Mr. Angel's House = an old blue country house, before Dogday arrived, it was neglected and full of dust. Before moving to the barn, Dogday slept in the garage. According to Angel; he bought the land from a farmer who was leaving
The old farm = Mr. Angel's house has an attached barn where straw was stored that collected dust; But when Mob's scientists took Dogday in for repairs, the adult repaired him and modified him so that he could use him as his own residence, creating a home that was the perfect size for Dogday (Kissy when he comes to visit).
The lake = a perfect place for picnics, but for some reason it's not popular in town; which makes it Layer and the others' favorite place to go for a picnic or a swim.
"Bobby's cousins" cave = deeper in the forest there are several caves full of bears, because of the color of the mountains these at certain angles seem to be red (which reminded him a lot of Minnie)
Mountains and more mountains = Dogday is discouraged that they don't have snow, but there is a half-hour pass to the factory.
The big forest = forest next to the factory, Poppy points out that there are many animals where the surviving toys begin to supply themselves so they don't go hungry again (however, Dogday is still reluctant to return to the factory)
TheHell- I mean the factory = P. Layer didn't allow dogday to write hell, Dogday already knows that place but not even all the po' boys or tuna sandwiches in the world will convince himm to return...

Birth place: Olde River (Playgrounds).
Birth day: July 18th.
Personality:
"Luckiest star" or Kickin usually appears to be the typical tough guy bounty hunter or the flirtatious pilot who has a lover in every port where he lands; a shameless man, without fear of what people will say about him, without any sense of danger or how far he will go. Catnap describes him as a "magnet of chaos who knows no failure."
which he usually repels at first.
Once you get into trust with him, he is friendly as a capybara who loves bad jokes and spending time relaxing or doing a sports activity for pleasure; Noticing many times that they seem annoyed that he does not have enough to go to an event with them, that some work crosses his path on an outing on several occasions.
He is someone who loves to lend a hand to his friends and the people he cares about, even in the worst moment he mentions a couple of times «well, what's next?» taking out in advance a part of the plan that the person has in mind, not very legal from how he obtained it; but better not to ask questions about it.He is a rooster who ignores the opinions of others and tends to be cynical and blunt, especially with authority figures over unresolved or personal issues.
A constant comic gag is that sometimes his methods are… too violent or really crazy. So the critters have to stop him from doing something crazy
A constant comic gag is that sometimes his methods are… too violent or really crazy.
or that when splashed with water, the cheap feather dye falls off and attracts the attention of one of his thousands of rivals and they start fighting at a bad time.
about his work and daily life.
Unlike other critters (and the general public) he does not have a fixed work schedule, but will often depend on being required for the missions or jobs he has as a bounty hunter; which maintains 3 basic requirements to accept a job=
1. does not carry out assassination missions or attacks against other lives.
2. will not accept a mission with children involved (unless they are rescues).
3. He should laugh in your face if you do not offer him a minimum of ₱200.000 or 12.000 carats in galyostro crystals and he sees you as a high class (if he accepts missions of little or almost no denomination, but he hates when rich people go overboard him with their arrogance). When he is at work he usually disappears for weeks on end and catnap or hoppy tell him the news that happens in his absence, having to endure the phrase «SACREBLEU! SO MUCH HAPPENED WITHOUT ME BEING THERE?!» or «bien bien...but don't look for me when you need something dangerous later...»
He often works alongside Catnap on some cases within Main City as an informant or support force if a case turns violent.
In his free time he spends his time repairing his beloved seaplane and other equipment... to end up going to Hoppy's shamelessly asking for a discount, going to Picky's restaurant or arguing with Bubba at work so that he doesn't turn him in to the law.

As a bounty hunter he has great physical capacity and intelligence based on survival and street malice; but he also has skills in=

CRAFTYCORN VAN CREATI - DESIGN AND DATA.
INFORMATION AND DATA.
Name: CraftyCorn Van Creati.
Age: 22.
Height: 3'0 mts/9'8 fts.
Species: Smiling critter creature. Unicorn.
Occupation: half-time teacher/artist.
Genre: female (she, they).
Sexuality: pan.
Magical usser type: Witcher.
Birth place: Skylands (Elliot's Heights).
Birth day: april 2nd.
Personality:
The newly titled young witcher DeColorina, is a somewhat shy but enthusiastic lady. A person who usually looks at the beauty of things and can find charm and inspiration in the most common things; Unlike Dogday who grew up surrounded by the typical culture of witchers, Crafty grew up in a family that disowned them to the point that she ran away from home as a child just because she couldn't adapt to what they demanded of her.
She even finds it difficult to admit or carry the attitudes of a witcher such as using her magic so sporadically or the ability to cope with her treatment, which causes her to accidentally manifest her magic in a somewhat explosive way, but not harmful.
She is someone quite cultured, sometimes being a voice of information, translation or presentation in a complementary or alternative way to Bubba; and when she gains trust with someone she can talk about her love of art and plants, feeling freer to be able to use them without problems in the comfort of her studio or talking with people she truly trusts. She's Not only is she good at painting, but she is very skilled at creating sculptures and acting (although she is terrible at sewing)..
Although she is an affable and calm person, she has moments where she usually makes me very emotional, aggressive or explosive. Especially when it comes to things like duels or conflicts(being a recurring gag how he gets too involved in a situation like a sports game or a chase that he ends up helping one of her friends.).
about her work and daily life.
Around half year before the events, the newly titled Witcher DeColorina, trained by the Witcher of "Crow" (Dogday's mother) in everything she could, went to Main City in search of repaying the kindness of the Sunnyhowl family to her.
Since she arrived in Main city, she works in a local kindergarten (because she cannot live on art alone, yet) where she works as a teacher with a group of 10 sisters who each work teaching a different subject; getting along better with the only one of the sisters who is also a witch, Poma Delight.
Depending on the situation, she works 5 days a week from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and on Saturday mornings.
In her free time she will spend it at her house (which she uses as a workshop) or at the restaurant. the piggyA recurring joke is that if it comes suddenly it is full of paint or leaves.
Magic data (and other skills):
Unlike Dogday, she has good combat skills, in addition to that she can defend herself in these ways:
- Quite fast analysis of situations.
- persuasion in difficult situations.
- if things get tense, a stick is also a good option to defend yourself.
- also be careful with his kicks; They are literally hard hats.
as a witcher, she has good handling; but not perfect of it. She still often has the habit of losing control in small ways.
Her title in magic is based on the 'orchidae die Decolorina' or 'Decolorina flower', a variant of the 'Salvae Terrae' or 'plant of salvation' from witcher mythology.
The 'orchidae di decolorina' is also called "royal bloom" because in ancient times it was considered the opposite of poppies and due to its rarity in its color palette it was considered more valuable than diamonds.
The uses that she gives to it are=
#1 plant flowering: this is the most common use you can give to your magic. but it can only give growth to plants that have flowers and fruits; Sometimes it is usually bigger than I expected or it is the wrong plant.
#2 tracking with flowers: she can perceive people through flowers; She can't see them literally, it works more like a radar for "presences."
#3 manipulating and giving life to plants by giving them small commands: similar to Dogday and probably learned from Mrs. Sunnyhowl; Crafty can give life and small commands to plants, although her command is "can you help crafty with...?"
#4 give life to the paintings: as an extra skill with his love of art and his somewhat tight economic situation, he realized that by using crushed flowers and fruits, his paintings have a more striking finish, and sometimes when they continue cool ones react to your mood (scaring someone once you made them angry or scary)
(funfact: For Picky's birthday he decided to take a portrait for her; However, while painting her, she had been scared after watching a movie by a certain "Tomie" and the painting of her unconsciously took on a similar appearance. Bubba thought her gift was in bad taste, but Picky was so delighted with it that she insisted on paying her a miniature version of theyself.)
Unlike Dogday, she has not yet mastered the voluntary form of overflowing, so she never resorts to that form... yet.
other random data:
favorite food: margarita pizza «especially the restaurant version of picky that includes real daisys *jiggles*»
Favorite dessert: Pavlova «creamy and delicious!!! especially with confided flowers!!»
hated food:haute cuisine, especially tenderloin Wellington «I have bad memories of haute cuisine in my biological home, it didn't help that most of my relatives were carnivores and it was disgusting»
smell: Jazmin.
strength: creativity, thinking outside the house, kindness
weakness: explosive, shy, low confidence
favorite physical appearance: long hair «At home they would have hated me for having it so long, but I love it and I can customize it however I want»
hated physical appearance: height and horn «I don't hate them per se, but it's very difficult for me to find clothes and especially hats without having problems»
person you respect most: Mr. Sunnyhowl's pack «I can't choose anyone from Didi's family over another! everyone was so sweet and kind to me that they treated me like part of her family! *ugly crying*»
person you don't want as an enemy: Bobby «I had bad sleeping habits, but the mere idea of her chasing me like she does Catnap terrifies me so much that I prefer to perform less but sleep well»
hobby:visit art galleries, gardening, participate in duels
Some crush?:«When I was younger I quite liked Dogday, but now I see him as an older brother. Now... I have seen a strange bounty hunter who... is cute... I would like to know more about him...»

WIP
I wanna make my own AU about "What happened after them died?" With Libby and company
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"...
WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN- CHARACTER REFERENCE #3.
NFORMATION AND DATA.
Name: Bobby Bearhug Jr.
Age: 22
Height: 300 mts/9'8 fts.
Species: Smiling critter creature. Bear (spectacled bear).
Occupation: nurse.
Genre: female (she, they).
Sexuality: pan.
Magical usser type: Shaman.
Birth place: Old uptown (Main city).
Birth day: February 14th.
Personality:
Bobby is the type of person who "falls in love" at first sight with how warm she is; She is cheerful, proactive and a little trusting with the people she meets and is very detailed with those she sees as important and although she is not extremely good at reading people enough to know when someone is wrong and needs to get rid of it; but she's not very good at keeping secrets, which frustrates her with the words "can you keep this a secret?".which means that when she finds out something that is a secret or surprise because she is a shaman, the situation arises that she desperately flees until the situation explodes. In these moments when he explodes, what he says is incomprehensible (she will speak in Spanish)
She is someone who is overly emotional; so much so that sometimes it takes them to the limit, which makes her someone extremely emotional; which the critter crew invented "Bobby's limit" to give news and see how much she could stand while they were photographing her and not cause her discomfort.
however when she is on her shift, the nurse bearhug; specialized in dealing with cursed people, she does not tremble even her pulse, her hand or her nerves to say or do things in order to see an improvement in the most undisciplined patients (so much so that even someone like Catnap fears and respects her in equal measure).
about her work and daily life.
Bobby works full time at the "cutter buttons", a hospital near the old uptown sector of Main City (being the oldest sector of the city and at the time it was an important immigrant sector), where due to his feared character and fame out of fear for the cursed ones, it is common for many of her coworkers not to talk much with her even though she tries to be friendly.
Her only close friend in the workplace is Doctor Daddy Longarms, or as she affectionately calls him "pops"; where they generally work side by side since they started work on the first day, and they are usually assigned together due to their synergy when working; to the point that it is common to see Pops also being a close friend of the critters crew and that there are rumors in the hospital that they are dating.
It is common when she is not on duty to see her near Hoppy having dates or studying at the municipal library.
A recurring joke is that at any moment before something happens she makes a "GASP" without knowing if he should tell the news or not.
"Magic" data (and other skills):
As mentioned above, all of its capabilities are based on medicine; what you can use like=
treatment of a certain degree of wounds.
training in emergency cases.
management to a certain degree of surgical devices.
be Catnap's "family doctor"; And although she is a nurse, it must be understood that she has enough physical strength to stop him on her own.
Speaking of her abilities as a Shaman, she can use her magic in 3 different ways =
-oracle card: if Bobby places one of his cards on his forehead; Her divination abilities advance by a maximum of 12 hours and the accuracy of what he sees is 99%.
-shaman card (combat): if Bobby places one of his cards in the area of his ribcage, his brute strength increases abruptly and his physical resistance and reflexes become even higher; In crisis situations his prediction ability is shortened to a maximum of 20 minutes but his accuracy is maintained.
-healer's card: if Bobby places one of his cards in his abdominal area, he loses the ability to divine instead of accelerating the healing and scarring of wounds.
Side note: the use of cards is not necessary; but not using them can wear it out more quickly.
other random data:
favorite food: arepas with salmon paté and hot chocolate with cheese «strange combinations, but tastes inherited from my mom».
Favorite dessert: honey and apple pie «Bless Picky for that family pie! but now I have to stay on a diet if I want to eat them often…».
hated food: liquors «HOW IS SOMETHING THAT TASTES SO HORRIBLE SO POPULAR AND ADDICTIVE?!I'm tired of seeing people injured or killed by too much liquor!».
smell: roses.
strength: empaty,moral support, confidence.
weakness: obstinacy, too much emotional.
favorite physical appearance: smile with fangs «Sometimes a nice smile can brighten someone's day. A pair of fangs, far from being scary, show that they can be more adorable~».
hated physical appearance:grumpy face «I really hate how scary I can look when I get angry, do you know how hard it is to keep calm features when you get angry just so you don't scare?».
person you respect most: Daddy Longarms «Only I know this longman's history; and with all the bad things that happened it is still a LONG cinnamon-roll!!!»
person you don’t want as an enemy: Bubba «Bubba is a monster if his tax date is close... I have reported about 7 cases of acute "I-won't-face-the-pachyderm-in-fiscal-season."».
hobby: dance salsa, Wrestling and read the horoscope.
Some crush?: … «I've been dating Hoppy for about 4 years, 6 moths and 15 days… and if at the end of this year she doesn't dare to ask me to marry her, I swear I'll do it myself!!».
For DogDay/Libby,
Here’s two kind cats friends to cheer you up. Their names are Pete and Callie. Hope they cheer you up 😊
Dogday: Oh my bones!! Dogday haven't seen such cute little creatures since they opened the playcare baby room!!! ANGEL!!! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!!!!
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.
I got a question for Libby/DogDay.
What do you think of the Ducktale 2017 reboot? If you watch it.
Dogday: ...Ducktales?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The AU takes place in 2005, I know you didn't mean to cause a time paradox. So to answer (and at the risk of the TVA coming for me) Dogday would love Ducktales, he especially loves the Darwing Duck episodes.
A BIT OF LORE:HOW DOGDAY/1202 FEELS WITH...
Disclaimer: This list will not include Catnap, because he deserves his own lore section for describe this complicated relationship.
PICKY PIGGY: Picky or "Miss Piggy" as Dogday used to refer to her, was an experiment that was in charge of feeding the entire playcare; from home sweet home to the counselor's office. However because of Priya's "background"; The experimentation with Picky's mind ranged from forcing her memories to giving her terrible brainwashing; Therefore, the gluttonous personality of the character she embodied with the psychological discomfort of her person constantly fought. Dogday, being able to do little or nothing for her, was limited to placing limits on her when she had a food binge or reassuring her when she couldn't consume even a glass of water. and although it was a small gesture, both sides of Picky were grateful for that gesture from her leader, realizing that Dogday ate mostly nothing and noting her obvious repulsion towards the raw meat she hid and gave behind the scientists' backs. tuna sandwiches. other data: -Although she didn't have functional legs like Crafty or Dogday, she knew how to use her pig hooves to hold things and cook. -Bubba and she use some camouflage liquid bands; which prevents other experiments from recognizing them as adults and attacking -sometimes he jokes about sneaking unpleasant things into all the adults' food (ex. on Chinese food day he said "by the way, have you seen a dogday plushie? I saw him playing near the kitchen before turning on the shredder")
BOBBY BEARHUG:
Bobby/#1186 was what Dogday could consider a "right-paw bear" and a great friend he could count on from start to finish (even before he recognized that she was his friend Minerva). Dogday, aware of Bobby's deaf-mute and that with his paws it was difficult for him to communicate with the children, she acted as a translator so that the children understood what Bobby wanted to say; and in turn, she let Bobby know how loved she was by the playcare children. Other data: -before Dogday arrived at playcare, she was the children's favorite; Although she always maintained a high position in popularity among the little ones in playcare because she was the closest maternal figure to her. -she communicated through morse code (using footprints and scratches) -Dogday realized that she was Minerva because she used a typical Colombian swear word with Hoppy that Dogday (when she was Libby) frequently heard to Minnie when she got angry. -No. Dogday won't say what the swear word is.
Kickin Chicken: Kickin/#1192 was the critter who was most emotionally dependent on Dogday; Well, the person behind the chicken, Carlo Buggatti, who was a normal teenager whose only connection with PP.Co was that his older brother worked there, ended up transformed into that because in an attempt to find his brother he learned something he shouldn't have. , and the playtime scientists preferred to take advantage of it before feeding it to Boxy Boo. As soon as he realized that Dogday could remember and the gas had no effect on him, he told him his entire story at once and begged that it didn't matter if he forgot who he was, that DD wouldn't do it and call him that when no adult was watching him. Dogday accepted the heavy task and helped in everything he could so that he would not be alone and cope a little better with the terrible situation. Other data: - the reason they both have a headband in the illustration is because Kickin, being the only biped, often hit his head; and Dogday, in his desire to ensure that he is not alone, learned to do it even if he ends up equally beaten. -In the brainwashing he underwent he forgot many things, except what he looked like from the outside; In an attempt to compensate for all the support that Dogday gave her, she told her things about the outside that even Dogday when she was human did not know, such as; about what a plane trip was like or that he was a "mate."
Hoppy Hotscotch:
Unlike the character in the series, Hoppy/#1192 was entirely problematic; She was aggressive with the newly arrived children and isolated those she considered weaker. She also hated the fact that an inferior experiment (in the sense of being of a later number than hers) like Dogday wanted to give her orders; Therefore, every time she could, she was aggressive with the dog and if she could find a way for her to end up punished, she did so. There even came a point where Dogday exhausted all of her methods of reasoning with her. Other data: -thanks to Hoppy's terrible character and her horrible way of acting; They made Hoppy's character one of the most hated in playcare. -ironically she was the one who best pretended to tolerate adults. -She was the only critter who partially joined the happy day plan just to annoy the dog, but when she realized that it wasn't a raid, and instead it was a massacre, she tried to fix things… but now It was late when he wanted to do it. -unlike canon (where Hoppy is on the autism spectrum), Margarette is not on the spectrum; She is just a teenager with a horrible character as a result of circumstances.
Craftycorn:
Craft/#1194 started out having a distant character and only focusing on the only thing that kept him sane which was making crafts, and Dogday instead of breaking the wall of craftycorn followed his way of doing things to get closer (and describing it as " feeling a deyabu about it"); He was totally aware that not everyone interacts in the same way, so he started trying to make crafts even though they looked bad on him. Over time he became one of the most trusted friends the unicorn had, giving that love and respect through gifts given by him. Other data: -Like Bobby, Dogday recognized his friend Kennichi through language; in his case he in an outburst of anger in Japanese. -It was known that unlike Dogday, Craft hated being referred to as the character assigned to him, either as crafty (that's why they called him Craft) or as a girl. -However, in a Dogday joke he made to exchange voice boxes he told him "Wasurete, I prefer to sound like a squeaky toy than to sound like the doctor"
Bubba Bubbaphant:
More than being a friendly figure; Bubba / #1187 or "Mr. Bubbaphant" was a guide for Dogday, not only because he was one of the oldest critters; He is the only one who, due to his function, his adult faculties remained as intact as possible. He was always there when Dogday needed guidance when he arrived, and when he needed advice once he served as leader (although he often struggled to keep up with Bubba's detailed explanations). His work as a teacher was greatly displaced when the Delight sisters arrived at school, so Dogday motivated him to be a support for the students who could not keep up with the new teachers (who were extremely relentless and did not conceive the idea that Not everyone learns at the same rate; which is why they were very hard on the poorest students). other data: -While he is conscious enough to remember many things about his human life, he does not remember being Horatio Buggatti. -Dogday accidentally commented that when speaking Spanish he had an accent similar to Kickin. -Like Picky, he wears a band of liquid camouflage to avoid detection as an adult.
UPDATE ACCORDING TO THE DATA BOOK!!!
Thanks to the release of the Poppy playtime data book and some revelations from Bobby; among them the status of him as an experiment and experiment number, I have decided to make changes to the number of experiments of the critters; with the exception of Dogday at the moment (because in Libby's lore the experimentation with her stopped because of P.Layer).
now they will be:
BOBBY BEARHUG=#1186
BUBBA BUBBAPHANT=#1187
CATNAP=#1188
PICKY PIGGY=#1190
KICKIN CHIKEN=#1191
HOPPY HOPSCOTCH=#1192
CRAFTYCORN=#1194
DOGDAY=1202
SMILING CRITTERS- TEST SUBJECT AND EXPERIMENT NUMBER.
while I take the time to draw the other critters; Here I have a nod to lore and the order in which they were used as experimental subjects.
+
A bit of lore and context.
Theodore (Catnap) and Margarette (Hoppy) are childs of factory employees who, due to a certain clause that says that if an employee cannot maintain certain standards of living to maintain them; These would be immediately sent to playcare with the possibility of visits from the parents (plot twist= the company itself didn't allow it).
The Bugatti brother's were from Argentina, Horatio Bugatti (older brother) worked at Playtime Co. in the school area as a teacher of languages before the Miss delight sister's; while Carlo (younger brother) was a high school senior and frequented the playcare to visit his brother, wanting to apply for the Ludwig scholarship to specialize in mechatronic engineering.
Priya Sharma was actually an insider for a rival company and went to work in playcare as a technician under the name "Munna Kulakarni.", who was investigating some irregularities at playtime co to sell it to the media; but she was betrayed by another specialist and used as a test subject for adult brainwashing (it went VERY badly).
Kenichi was the son of two system engineers, however they died "of unexplained causes" and he was relocated to the orphanage.
Minerva, Horatio and Carlo are totally foreigners, the brothers are from Argentina and the girl is from Colombia.
Priya and Kenichi are children of immigrants, Priya from India and Kenichi from Japan.
Libby was born in french quarter in New Orleans and she knows how to speak Cajun (but she only talks like that when she's angry)
Theodore's parents are supposedly British
CAN YOU PROMISE...
THAT WE WILL BE TOGETHER?...
(Or... And angel and Dogday a bit of Lore).
ABOUT "THE PLAYER"...
Patrick Perry Layer or "the player" was an employee of the factory that was in charge of the internal financial management of the company who worked at playTime Co. between the 80's and 90's.
Due to his work, he had to pay attention to the game station and playcare initiatives; Which he hated because he wasn't the biggest supporter of the idea of children in an industrial factory, so he was actively hostile towards them.
He had an "if it's none of my business, I don't care" mentality; Therefore, even though he had to be aware of the existence of experiments in the factory, the problem with the employees due to their treatment and that there were even spies trying to leak information about it to the public; He couldn't have cared less, it was beside the point.
Regarding whether he had family or someone close... due to the great time of conflicts that he lived through, he only had himself his entire life; which further substantiated that thought of not being interested in his surroundings if not for his work.
He mainly went to playcare when they insisted that he go to playcare at the suggestion of one of his subordinates upon learning that he was alone in adopting one of the orphans.He went reluctantly and being extremely uncomfortable with the excessive good treatment they gave him in the playcare.
Patrick and Libby...
as mentioned earlier; He met Lilibeth Faith one day when she was hiding, a girl who was particularly shy and defensive at first but who at the same time did not allow herself to be intimidated by the hostility of Patrick himself.
When he gave up on seeming hostile to her and it was approaching bedtime, he caught her attention with some of Barry's books and asking her if she liked the cart with eyes too.
Libby, not knowing what the "kind gentleman" was called (from her point of view), began to ask about "Mr. Angel." The confused caregivers did not know what or who he was; until the next visit she came running up to him shouting «MR. ANGEL!!! YOU'RE BACK! » leaving everyone stunned to see that he was referring to him, including Patrick himself.
Patrick asked the minor why she referred to him in such a curious way, which made all the sense in the world to her; I explain: «Brother once said that angels are kind and honest with those who need it, you seemed like both to me and you even wanted to play with me; why wouldn't you be?». Patrick didn't know what to respond and preferred to introduce himself formally so she wouldn't call him that again, but Libby still continued calling him "Mr. Angel."
when in starts 1992 and Lilibeth began to be a subject of experimentation or "testing" and they found a way to make her susceptible to experimentation through the "carmine serum" (it will have its own explanation later); I wasn't going to question much and I was just going to visit her since due to a very hectic Christmas season I hadn't had the time to see Libby with a gift... but I just saw her again and saw that she was so emaciated and that the only answer I had was Libby gave her «the white manss said I had something wrong, and they are trying to fix me, but hurts... Hurts too much...» he could no longer maintain his apathy and began to investigate more about what was happening to the girl.
When she found out WHAT Sawyer was doing to her, to the other orphans and that she found out in more detail about the things that he allowed due to her apathy, she put pressure and haste to protect Libby and speed up the procedures to get her out of playcare; then with the information kept and knowing of various irregularities at playtime Co. to at least mitigate some of the damage he allowed them to cause...however...
The day of the tragedy...
July 21, 1992, what was supposed to be the day Patrick took little Lilibeth Faith away from playcare, Dr. Sawyer called Layer to his office; while Libby had to wait for him; The girl was absolutely nervous, he didn't want him to leave her alone although he promised that it would only be for a moment and then they would be together.
Patrick and Harley had an dispute when he called him into the office, and at one point Harley critically said, «I'm sorry, but you didn't leave me any other choice.» Layer did not understand those words until minutes later when an employee in the maintenance area commented that a girl had suffered a serious accident in the gas production area. that girl was Libby.
At no time was Patrick allowed near the medical bay, and a doctor on Sawyer's team told him that unfortunately there was nothing to do; He allowed him to see the recently deceased body of her minor to identify her and that a priori through the adoption process she would let him take the minor's ashes.
Patrick, after seeing her "dead body" and being given a container with part of the Libby's ashes (with the parts that were not used for dogday), never set foot in the playcare again.
He blamed himself for the incident for a long time and over the years he stopped going to the company's special events because they were the only days in which the playcare children went out to the rest of the factory other than the games station, which ironically also included the event of August 8, 1995.
Loses this sunshine again...
some point in 2005; Patrick was in the eye of several investigators for what happened with playtime co (as well as his former employees); However, he had preferred to remain anonymous, out of the eye of suspicion and enduring as best he could the feeling of guilt for the disappearance of so many people (so much so that he bought a piece of land adjacent to the factory's wooded land just to know when he would feel ready to return). ; until one day the tape arrived with the "find the flower" letter, he guessed, he knew that he should not run away from playtime co anymore and he got ready to go to that place again…
If Patrick's mind was in chaos; when he met Dogday and the nickname he used to refer to him, of all the ones he could use, was precisely "Angel"; The same way and tone of speech that Libby used to refer to him was so shocking that he could only react again when the giant dog in the end could only say "JUST GO! RUN!" seconds before being attacked and possessed by the minis. If in itself the terrible coincidence of terms that Dogday used left Patrick in shock; when in the council building he finds the conversion papers for several experiments, including how his little Libby was used to be experiment 1202 - also known as Dogday; You can imagine the rage and helplessness of not only not having been able to get her out of playtime before her, but he has seen her die twice
after defeating the prototype; Before leaving she had gone to the playhouse one more time just to be able to lay watch over Dogday's body; finding himself surprised that he was still alive, even though he was devoured; but alive. He couldn't help but hug him and cry, thanking him for being alive and forgiving him.
The most difficult thing of all was how to accommodate Dogday with the grabpack; because although the canine was in half and was terrifyingly light for his size, the half-dog was still larger than his body. and that although he could help him, the slightest mistake would cause him to suffer more damage; It was a difficult process to get him out of Playtime Co.
side note: a constant visual device is that Dogday does not see player as a human, but insteants he sa him as a dummy or "Dogday's POV"; It has an explanation. Since as a human DD' suffered abuse before and after arriving at playcare, the process of your conversion to a bigger body, the 10 years she was in the factory and due to several attacks from the specialists sent by Leith Pierre, she unconsciously sees the adults as a threat, something that can and will do harm. Therefore, as a method of defense and not attacking them directly because of that internalized panic; Dogday has lost the ability to recognize adult faces and see them instead as something more "safe" and has forgotten several adult faces. which is why them doesn't know that "poppy's angel" and "mr angel" are the same person.
A UNEXPECTED HOPE... OR A THREAT WITH THE DEVIL?...
Since Patrick has Dogday with him, because of the paternal love he had for him and the level of guilt he has for leaving him behind so many times when he needed him most, he tries to compensate him by showering him with the attention and care he deserves; something a little difficult because due to the scientists and his years of dogday confinement he hardly allows himself to indulge in feeling guilty for being alive (something that Angel has been working on so that that feeling is mitigated).
Patrick knows he has entered dangerous territory; not only because now the eyes of the researchers will be on him, but even though he tries to cure dogday (even being able to recover the lower part of the experiment), however; The amount of damage he has is absurd and the few medical examinations he performs indicate that he will not survive for long.
However, on one occasion where again a group of investigators contact him before he can send them to hell, they bring him a tempting proposal: "We have in custody former workers who were part of Sawyer's team and we know that you guard an experiment; and we need witnesses and information that only someone of your rank can tell, be the witness we need and in exchange we will give you the help the experiment needs."... Layer accepts with three conditions =
#1. do whatever you have to do to save dogday; except using him as an experimental subject behind his back #2. If you need dogday to testify, unless you promise absolute anonymity it will be denied and #3. fulfill Dogday's whim and remove that CENSORSHIP Sawyer voice box.
Now... this threat... Was it a good idea… or something else that will make Layer regret it?

Theodore's parents are supposedly British
Question for Dogday: What do you do now since Angel had rescue you?
Dogday: well, I guess it would be "out of service" for now. and the only plan I have left for now is to recover a little so that Mr. Angel can modify me to see if he can install some legs… or remove this HORRIFYING voice box... wait!!
I must tell why I am recovering, my bad- *ahem*
Dogday: After all the path the angel had traveled, he was resigned to ending up simply as the last meal of those critters… and at the moment when he already felt that he was definitively leaving this world… the angel appeared again
Dogday: the angeI scared the creatures and ran to hug me and console me; asking me for forgiveness for not having been able to save me before, and after improvising how to get me out of there (when my mere head reaches his neck) he took me to his home. I can't see his face, but I felt like he was crying while he did it.
Dogday: after this, he made me a safe space where I could be comfortable and lie down and he makes sure that I am so comfortable and well cared for that I don't know how to react to such signs.
Dogday: I suppose that if I see an improvement my plans may change… but can I tell you something strange that I noticed?
Dogday: When Angel rescued me he said over and over again "I can't leave you behind allowing them to hurt you… not again."
Dogday: I don't want to feel special or think that he said it to me directly; and I know that Mr. Angel's past is not something he is proud of… but...
Dogday: I wonder who those words were directed to…
Hello Dogday, my question is a rather simple one. How many toys are now free from Playtime?
Dogday: ...It would be better to ask Poppy about that, she comes and goes often... Unlike me, although it no longer exists, I feel that if I put a paw there, the prototype will dig its claws into me once again...
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."
ABOUT MINERVA AND #1191
[More information about the person who was turned into Bobby Bearhug].
ABOUT MINERVA:
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.
ABOUT BOBBY/#1191=
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.
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!
