WHO: Varian and you!
WHERE: Gemini app!
WHEN: Late May
WHAT: Getting weird stuff from the Goodwill
WARNINGS: None!

[It's rare Varian makes a post on the network to the app at large, but something has come up and he figures it's a good idea to... check. When the video pops on, his hairstripe is a worem which keeps wriggling around on his head. He seems to be doing his very best to ignore it.]

Uh. Hey- hey guys. I've got a quick question. I know that we've had some uh... old world stuff cropping up this month. [He does NOT wanna get into that, that had been a pretty damn bad time.] But I was wondering if anyone found items from their old worlds or... past lives or whatever, too?

[ He holds up a big red book with a sun emblem emblazoned across the front.]

This is the journal of King Herz Der Sonne. It's... it's an artefact from the world I come from. It's uh... kind of like a history book but with... secrets of Corona in it. Also people sign their names in it to proclaim their love for one another. That's- that's a whole thing.

A-anyway. It's one of the most guarded things in my world so I'm- uh- really confused that it somehow showed up here? I was wondering if anyone else had something like this show up in that weird store too? Just in case it's some... new epidemic or something.

[Look he knows Var's had a rough month, so he's willing to spare him being teased.

This time.]

How strange... I wonder if it fell through the tear like the spirits did.

I didn't go to goodwill this weekend, so I can't say anything from my past life's world was there. Though, my past life was a rather modern Earth, so it'd probably be hard to tell if there was something in the first place.

[What a good and merciful partner he is!! The worm continues to slither around his head, and Varian continues to ignore it. ]

I mean... maybe? That's what I'm thinking. Maybe some other stuff showed up, and... I don't know, the stars guy just picked them up. Or did whatever he does to get his stock- I think that question is better left unanswered.

[ Sometimes Varian doesn't need an answer to something and this is one of those times! Where the goodwill stock comes from can remain a mystery. ]

That's a good point. I think aside from the soul devices that show up here anyway, everything else would probably... fit right in. I hope this isn't gonna be a common occurrence, there's some dangerous mystical items from my old world I'd really rather not show up here. At least the journal is relatively harmless.

Mm, that's a good point. Probably better not to think about it too much, since I doubt we'll ever get a satisfactory answer.

[Jun nods, he can think of some things he's heard about from Corona that he rather not deal with- that's for sure]

Yeah, we'll just have to keep an eye out to be sure. So what do you plan to do with the journal in the meantime?

Yeah, or if we do get an answer, it's the sort that would keep us up at night.

[ He hums at the question, turning it this way and that in his hands. He hurt Rapunzel badly to get his hands on this thing. He was never supposed to have it. And now here it is, but Varian isn't the person he was when he first tried to get this book. Even if he could use it to harm Corona now, he wouldn't. ]

I... guess I'll take care of it? It is a vital part of my culture... it kinda feels like my responsibility to make sure it's safe. Maybe I can put it out for people to sign their names in it, if they want?

[A tiny smile crosses his features. ]

Would you like to sign it with me? [ He ducks his head shyly. ] I mean, traditionally it should be done on Day of Hearts but that's passed already, so I think we're overdue one. If... you want, anyway.

[ Varian, please, he is literally going to get married to you. ]

Haha, like we need any help doing that.

[They're both night owls okay. Bedtime is 1am minimum]

That makes sense. The secrets it contains isn't really relevant to this world, so I don't think it needs to be guarded so heavily... but it's still a piece of your home, which that alone makes it important. [Even if Varian probably has complicated feelings about] But that sounds like a good idea... maybe Meropide's library? That might be a good place for it.

[But...oh, no. That's really cute that Varian asks that. He's aware of the custom, having Varian explain it to him a couple times]

Haha, I'd be happy to. Day of Hearts might have passed, but we can still make it special.

That... is a very fair point. I think I have been sleeping a little better lately when we do go to bed, though!

[That's because his shadow power knocks him out like a light the second his head hits the pillow, he has had nothing to do with this change of sleeping habit. ]

Yeah, no one is gonna be able to use it to map out the catacombs from here, after all. It's pretty safe. And that's... a really good idea. I think Fred would have kittens if he thought about it being anywhere in the public... which makes it all the more enticing to put it out there.

[ Eat shit, Fred. It's gonna be in the public where commoners can touch it with their dirty commoner fingers!!!!

His heart gives a little flutter, pleased with the acceptance of his request.]

Great. I'd... I'd really like that. It feels right. We can just say it's belated or something.

Haha, true. It's pretty cute how quick you pass out!

[He hasn't connected the dots that it's thanks to the shadow powers]

Oh no, King Fred would hate it being public? Well then we better make sure it's public and easy to find! Maybe it can get it's own stand- just to draw attention to it.

[Because seriously, rot in hell Fred. ]

Fine by me. Are there any other customs from Day of Hearts you want to include?

I'm glad you find my passing out adorable and only hope that my open-mouthed sleeping and drooling on you is equally so.

[Good job, idiots. Despite everything, that does pull a little laugh out of him. ]

Maybe even a spotlight. And a sign saying "please touch". He'd hate that, and I can't think of a more fitting thing for it.

[ Fred can hate it until the end of time, and it will be wonderful in Varian's opinion. ]

Well, the rest is just what you'd do on Valentine's Day, really. But I guess I can get us some cupcakes from that nice bakery to add to the ambience.

They have their charm.... the drool less so, admittedly.

[What he can admit it. And hey, that was definitely a laugh.]

Oh, yes! I like the sound of that. Should we have gelly roll pens for people to sign with? Or is that a step too far?

Haha, how about a dinner date then? We can get some cupcakes on the way home.

What? You don't enjoy being drooled on while you sleep? Gasp!

[No one wants to be drooled on, but as it's unlikely Varian will get out of the habit of sleeping with his mouth open any time soon, Jun is probably stuck with it. ]

Oh no no, I think you're on exactly the right tangent. You know what? We should get those gelly roll pens that smell like fruit, just to really top it off!!

That sounds perfect, I'd love that.

Shocking, I know. Love has not made me completely blind.

[Oh he knows. He knows and has accepted it]

Ohh, yes I know what you mean! Oh, and stickers. We should get some stickers people can use to help really personalized their signatures.

I will have to live with this one singular tragedy in my life. Sad.

[He doesn't sound in the least bit sad. He gets a Jun-shaped cushion out of this so who's the real winner? He thinks it's him! ]

Yes! You've got to really jazz up the ancient artefact after all!!! That's what it's there for!
