WHO: Moana and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: November 23rd
WHAT: Moana received a visitor the previous night and it's also her birthday. These things may be related
WARNINGS: Nothing I can think of, will update if that changes

Okay, so...I think I remember someone mention something about this before? But I figured maybe a bit more information might help, so.

Today's my birthday, and normally I wouldn't really mention it, but when I was getting into bed last night, this skeleton just...showed up. [ Somehow, Moana seems awfully calm about it, or at least talking about it. ] It had asked me for a wish, and...well, I couldn't really think of much, but I just wanted something to help me keep warm.

When I woke up this morning, I found this [ She holds up a shark snuddie ] and while it's not really what I had in mind, it is pretty warm. [ She laughs a little as she pulls it on. ] I'm definitely gonna be using it.

Anyway, I don't think the skeleton wants to hurt anyone or cause any trouble, but it might freak people out if they're not expecting it, so uh, yeah...maybe if you've got a birthday coming up, keep an eye out for it?

[ She gasps in mock offense. ] How dare you. And you made it? The worst.

[ Then she laughs and sticks out her tongue at him, because she is a totally mature young adult. ]

Oh man, I hope not. I think I'm starting to get pretty sensitive to cold, so that would be terrible.

[ Though she wouldn't be entirely surprised if it did happen. ]

Right? It's a really special kinda place when a talking skeleton appearing in someone's room one night is the nicest thing to ever happen.

[droptheious]

I know, it's completely unforgivable, but I don't care.

[He matches the gesture in a mirror of maturity! ]

That is a worry. If that doesn't work, I can always see what I can come up with to keep you warm.

[He'll make sure it has a minimal chance of exploding, too! Because they're friends!]

Right? You gotta hand it to this place for being nicely weird.

[findingways]

[ She snickers. ] So rude. Just you wait, I'll get you back for this eventually.

[ Despite the teasing tone, that is a very serious promise. ]

Well, it's definitely good for having here at home, but if you wouldn't mind giving it a try, it'd be nice to have something a bit more...mobile? Something I can have when I'm out so I don't have to wear a billion layers just to step outside.

[ Awwww that makes her feel so special! ]

Yeah. Though I'm not sure it completely makes up for when it gets terrible weird.

[droptheious]

Oh, I'm fully aware I'll pay penance for this crime, don't worry.

[Look, he knows, Moana. He knows. ]

That makes sense. Hmm, I wonder if I could work with iron and oxidised carbon. Like those...uh hand warmer things? But on a much larger scale...without actually...risking scaling you. Hm.

[He's thinking about this one!!!]

It definitely doesn't make up for the terrible weird. But I guess the people here do?

[findingways]

[ She grins a little. ] Oh, I don't think you do.

[ You may think you'll be prepared, but you still won't know what's coming, Varian. ]

Yeah, something like that might be good. I mean, if you're not too busy. I know you've got a lot of other projects you're working on.

[ She still doesn't want him pushing himself too much, after all. ]

That's true. I know a lot of you guys are kind of stuck here, and I do feel bad for you guys. But I'm still glad to have gotten a chance to meet you.

[droptheious]

...Well, that's slightly worrying.

[Probably a little more than slightly. ]

It's okay, I've always got time to make a little something for you. It won't take too much time at all.

[Varian can rest when he's dead, he's sure! But aww, that brings a smile to his face.]

I'm really glad to have met you, too. So it can't be all bad.

[findingways]

[ She's going to drown you in friendship, man. ]

Thanks, Varian. I really appreciate it.

[ She will make sure that he takes some breaks, though, don't think she won't. ]

Well, I'm glad I can be a silver lining for you.

[ If she can help at least a little bit, she's happy too. ]

[droptheious]

[Yes, good. Drown him so deep in friendship that he can never escape again. Also, make sure he takes breaks, he never will unprompted.]

Of course, you are. I think a lot of people in the city would... would say the exact same thing.

[findingways]

[ She will be keeping track of all your breaks and water intake, don't think she won't. ]

Ah, well... [ She ducks her head a little, a small smile on her face. ] I don't know about a lot of people...but thanks.
