A Spoopy Time of Year

Varian has never celebrated Halloween before. As such, he finds everything going on in the city pretty fascinating. He's not a big party person, Corona's endless celebrations tend to grate on him, but everything here is new and worth exploring! So he can be found around the city, peering curiously at everything around them.

Or more annoying are the normies who would normally ignore his tail starting to stare at it. Some more obnoxious kids even come to pull at it when his back is turned. He quickly stumbles away, probably into you as he tries to keep away from them.

"Ooof- sorry. I miss it when they didn't notice the thing. This is obnoxious."

Battle at the Qliphoth

Varian very quickly noticed Fern was missing. They were dating and lived together. And as adventurous as his boyfriend was, he always came home at night. Varian had been looking for him for half the night when he'd heard about the tree, about the latest insanity that happened to them. He went back home to pack a bag with all the alchemy he could and headed right off to help. He's not exactly the best when it comes to blood, and the horror of the city the nearer he gets to the tree is extremely disturbing. But he pushes it all down, determined to get to Fern and get him out.

Small and unassuming he might be, Varian is pretty damn angry about the whole kidnapping thing. He can be found on the lower and middle levels, making good use of his monkey tail to clamber up the tree. He faces the demons that attack with a savagery that might be surprising to most- except perhaps those who know about his sordid past and exactly what he's capable of. He hucks glass balls full of various chemicals at the encroaching demons- some get stuck to where they stand- trapped in a magenta goop, unable to move. Some get encased in ice. Some...well, some get hit by a bright green goop and those ones explode, screaming, in green fire.

When he runs out of alchemy, limited supply that he has, he relies on his Kaisou-given abilities. Using the boost to earth elemental abilities this month, he grows sharp thorned vines of his own from the tree, whipping out to attack the demons coming too close. He grabs a few metal nails from his bag, and with a wave of his hand, they become projectiles against those that come too close. Despite all of this though, he's still just one (pretty small) teenager. Eventually, he'll get caught out and cornered, surrounded by a few nasty-looking demons- he could probably use some help here.

Aftermath

Varian's lived here long enough to be used to things going back to normal once the spirit gate stops...doing whatever it's gonna do this month. This time it doesn't though. The boost to his earth abilities in the fight has become a pretty bad downfall now the sun has gone away. Because as much as he can eat regular food, he can't use it for energy without the sun. Photosynthesis is still his main method of getting energy since that particular ability was bestowed on him. So he can be found looking pretty exhausted as the nights lengthen. He can even be caught napping in school - an absolute no-no for him. If someone could...gently wake him up as he snores lightly, open-mouthed and drooling slightly on his textbook he'd be pretty grateful!
