[Open] Look at all this weird shit I bought

Who: Gerard Keay and YOU! (Feat. a special prompt for Cecil)
What: Gerry's spoils from his recent purchase
When: Mid-March
Where: Gerry's shop (and Cecil's place)
Warning(s): None, this is all silly shit.




-Mall Goth-

Gerry's not a huge fan of spending money at Calloway's shop after the Lot 37 incident, but he still regularly checks it to make sure there's nothing else there that anyone needs to be worried about. He saw a few items of concern (note to self: tell Annabel Lee about that pendulum, and Cecil about Lot 2) but otherwise nothing too untoward. Just the same sort of overpriced bullshit he always sees.

But then, toward the back of the shop, a pallet wrapped with a Hot Topic shipping label.

He can't resist.


-Yard Sale-

On a Tuesday, when his shop is closed anyway, Gerry separates out the items he does not want and puts them out onto the little bit of pavement in between the street and his shop, neatly stacked. A sign says "Please take only one." But he's sitting there to enforce it, puffing away at a cigarette and reading a book, on a chair he dragged out from his workshop. The items are as follows:

- Brittney Spears Monopoly
- A 2-pack of Funko Pops from something called "My Hero Academia", which lists the characters as "Tomura Shigaraki" and "Overhaul"
- A set of Sanrio enamel pins, consisting of Hello Kitty, Keroppi, My Melody, and Cinnamoroll
- The most hideous pink Gloomy Bear plush you've ever seen
- The Naruto lanyard
- A set of rubber ducks that look like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- A couple of Tasty Peach mochi cat plushies (he kept some as well)
- A cheap Deadpool action figure
- A Beetlejuice snowglobe
- A piggy bank shaped like a Super Mario question mark block
- Some Pokemon blind bags.

(The items he kept, by the way, were the aforementioned Tasty Peach plushies, a Strawberry Cow plush, a Bob Ross chia pet, a skeleton beanie, a Skelanimals figurine, replicas of the herb jars from Nightmare Before Christmas, an elaborate Hatsune Miku statue, some rollerball perfumes in skull bottles that smell like pomegranate and rosewood, and all of the makeup.)

-Peace Offering-
(Closed to Cecil)

Needing to talk to Cecil anyway, Gerry drops by his place with a strawberry cow plush under his arm, smelling extra nice.

-Wildcard-
Come by Gerry's place for whatever and notice all the weird new shit he has. He's wearing proper goth makeup, has a whole ass Chia Pet growing on his desk and a Hatsune Miku statue in his shop's front window.

"Let me put it this way," she replies thoughtfully. "It's an extremely strange feeling to see merch of the man that killed you. But the other little guy is important to me and one of the others that arrived recently and I have to show him."

Her nose wrinkles, but she can't necessarily say that he's wrong. Some heroes back home capitalized on their likenesses being used for shows, commercials, manga. "You could say that. All of us were rather infamous, in our time. Usually it was only the good guys that out out this kind of thing, though."

"Sometimes not even in that order." She straightens up, holding the box against her chest like treasure, even knowing the figures inside were likely to be pretty cheap in their shop of origin. "Well, if they ever make a figure of me I'd hope that I have final say in its design. Give me royalties at least," she quips. "Anyway, are you sure you don't want anything for this? There is an awful lot of stuff here. It must have cost you quite a bit."

"Well, thank you darling. I imagine some of the plushies will be loved absolutely flat if only because they're ridiculously soft and bright colored." And just to put the cherry on it, Magne bows, terribly polite, clearly looking forward to showing off her find here.
