[ It's very rare that Varian actively addresses the network himself. He's not an overly social person and usually when he's coming on here personally, it's to deliver bad news. This is no exception, unfortunately, but at least for once this isn't a disaster he's created himself. ]

Uh. Hey guys. I'm reaching out on behalf of Harumasa Asaba. I'm... I'm sure some of you know him. Probably a lot of you, actually. He's good at talking to people.

[ Fuckin' extrovert. Varian takes a deep breath, it's clear this is miserable news to relay - he's deeply unhappy about all of this. ]

Haru has a disease called Elemental Aptitude Regression Syndrome. To simplify it for this post, it is a condition which effectively makes being in a place with an overabundance of spiritual or elemental energy poisonous for his heart and lungs. He can't just... leave due to reasons I'm... I'm not at liberty to say, but at this point the condition is terminal. He... he has a year minimum, two if we're lucky.

[ And here we are, the source of Varian's upset. Something sad and hurt crosses his features for just a moment, before he's back to task. ]

I... I feel we'd be remiss if we didn't take the opportunity to reach out for help to the app at large. There are people from all kinds of worlds, who... who might have various ideas on methods we can use to try and help him. Haru agreed and let me post this. I figured with the library here too... well, it's too good an opportunity to pass up, just in case someone finds something that might have otherwise been missed. So. So that's what that is, reaching out to see if anyone would be able to help with this.

[ He rubs the back of his neck. ]

I ask that you don't... don't reach out to Haru himself or Jun about this. They're not focusing on this right now, Haru is more focused on enjoying the time he has left just in case... [ hmmm nope, not finishing that thought ] and Jun is focusing on helping take care of him as his condition worsens. I'm happy to answer any questions that you have, and I'll uh... leave it to the rest of Haru's family and friends to speak up if they wanna be a point of contact. But yeah... any help you guys can give? It would be greatly appreciated.

[Fuck. Fuck. He just found his cousin and now this? Fuck everything.]

What have you tried already?

I'm not in the medical field, but if you need anything researched, let me know. I'll do what I can to help.

[ Sorry, Buddy, he wishes he had better news. ]

Haru's been seeing his doctor for a long time. He's exhausted all conventional medicine. So now we're looking for unconventional medicine. We're still in the early stages of research yet, so the door is quite literally wide open for us to try things out.

That would be a big help, actually! With the library here, we have quite literally all the research there ever could be at our fingertips. People willing to pop open a few books and see if they can find anything in them is exactly what we need this month.

I don't know much help I can be, since even though I'm related to him by blood I'm not human and haven't been for a few years now, but I can get things if people need them. I'm pretty resistant to corruption and all that.

...You're related to him by blood?

[Haru you are just like Jun - TELL people about your relatives?? Please???]

Hrm, I don't know how much help your blood would be unless you had the same condition as him- but that's good to know. If nothing else, if you're resilient, it might mean you can head into more dangerous areas to grab potential items?

Apparently. Trust me, it was a surprise to us too.

I'm a divine puppet. He'd have to play really nicely with the divine part of that, and a lot of people don't.

[Just saying.]

That's what I was thinking. I can maybe ask my parents--they're in the supernatural community over in Japan. They might have ideas.

[Jun's been quiet, since he did promise Haru he'd not search for a cure himself, but considering what he knows of his brother's past... he feels the need to interject]

Thank you for the offer, but Haru's expressed he doesn't want a cure that requires the use of anything that comes from other people's bodies. He'd be very adamantly against it.

Though, reaching out to the supernatural community in Japan sounds like a good idea.

Makes sense.

[And it's not like he can offer blood transfusions or anything since, again, divine puppet.]

My mom's a magical healer. She'll probably know of things that the rest of us wouldn't even think of.

Hnm... this is. Difficult.

I've never met Harumasa but him and Jun sure seem to be good buddies. I don't blame Jun for being worried. 'Focused on enjoying the time he has left...'
I think I'd be the same way, if I was in this guy's shoes.

I live in a garden that has plants grown under a god's power. If I could bring you some of the plants that are like. Made by her power, I don't know, maybe they could help...? Some plants have stronger medicinal effects than others.

Wolfwood has his vials that can heal his wounds and stuff, but. I think they're only effective on him, and they take a toll on the body, anyway...

I wish I could help. This is way over my head.

[....

"I've never met Harumasa but him and Jun sure seem to be good buddies"

Oh. Oh no. Said quietly to himself, but the video totally picks it up]

Aw fuck, that's the thing I felt like I forgot.

[ oh hiii jun ahahahaha that totally picked up didn't it ]

....................

What did you forget.

I'll see what I can dig up in the Library of Alexandria, and I'll keep an ear to the ground for anything promising.

And if you need extra hands, I'm more than willing to pitch in where I can.

[There's no way he wouldn't want to help with something like this.]

Ah-

[Fycuk stupid video. Jun for a moment looks like he just got his hand caught in the cookie jar before he clears his throat]

Haha.... well, see... Haru isn't my buddy.

He's my brother.

I've been visiting the library a lot myself recently, let me see what I can dig up. And I can be a point of contact if needed, Harumasa's my friend.

If we need to gather anything from the Spirit Realm, I know someone who can serve as a guide.

YOU HAVE A BROTHER?

[ sorry abt your ears ]

[He yips a little at the volume, carbuncle ears going folding back as if they are being blown away by the sound waves coming from Vash]

J-Just a few! And a sister! [JUST A FEW] They weren't really in my life until the last year or so, so there wasn't much reason for them to come up!

Edited 2025-09-20 01:27 (UTC)

[Harumasa opens the door to peek out at his little brother, looking a touch concerned.]

You good out here? I thought I heard someone on the verge of a breakdown.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD SIBLINGS!

[ less loud this time but still loud

are you surprised? ]

I forgive you because it HAS been a busy year but AAAAAAAAAH. HELLO, HARU. HIIIIIIIIIII.

[Jun gulps before laughing sheepishly to Haru]

I... figured out that thing I was forgetting. [He'll turn his phone so Haru can see the plant man]

Haru, this is Vash. He's like an uncle to me.

[Yes, it is the man who was blamed for the cake at the party the other day]

[Oh, hey, he recognizes that guy! Harumasa's not used to being yelled at by an excitable blond plant man, but he gives a smile and a wave.]

I remember you! You're the fall guy at the rich party! Nice to meet you for real.

[Wait.]

You have an uncle? ... Well, I guess that's not the most unhinged thing you've told me out of context. Anyway, hi, Vash! I'm Jun's older brother. Good to meet you, hope he hasn't been too much trouble for you~.

[ you can see the look on his face. it goes from quietly buzzing with excitement to almost immediately depressed. there's tears in his eyes and everything. he looks like he wants to let out the most pathetic whimper. maybe he DOES whimper. ]

Noooo. Noooo, don't let that be your best impression of meee..... I was innocent! Totally, 100% innocent!! I'm ALLERGIC to fire!! [ wwwwhghghhghh. ]

Jun's an angel. He can't do any wrong. [ hel p ]

It's okay I believe you, Vash. I've never seen you use fire and you wouldn't wreck a dessert like that.

[He knows it was Koukou. He will never sell out Koukou

But being called an angel does make him give the most smug look at his brother.]

Yeah, see? I'm a perfect angel.

[Holy shit. Hold it together, Asaba, you can't just laugh at this guy being in depression!]

Don't worry, I don't think you did it! It was just... very bad luck. You looked out for Jun, so that makes you good in my book. Really!

[He looks at Jun with a smile.]

Good! Then Abel and I raised him well~.

I WOULD NEVER WRECK A DESSERT LIKE THAT!!! THANK YOU!!!

[ back to being loud. this man flip flops worse than a fish out of water. ]

It was a CRIME what happene--

Wait hold on, you helped raise Jun?? How come Abel never told me that either!?

I don't know if I should just be shocked it never came up or hurt.
