[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.

"Oh my gosh," he squeals. "How much for these pins? I have to have them."

Oh damn, one of the new guys. Cute. Gerry's spoken for, but he does have working eyeballs--- more than most people.
"I don't think we've met yet. Gerry Keay."

Max can sense Gerry looking, but this feels like a bad time to make a pass (it might look like he's trying to pay in sex??) so he sticks with polite non-flirty greeting for now.
"It's great to meet you, Gerry? Okay if I use that? I'm Max Maximum but you can just call me Max."

He picks up the pins and looks affectionately at them. "Nice of you to give things away like this. Are you sure I can't make you a cupcake or something, at least?"

Max cocks his head, "Died the first time? Are you some kind of immortal undead too?" Leave it to Max to not be that surprised. Then again, given the company he keeps...
"What do you want to know about it? I lived there for pretty much a year."

"U-um... cursed, I guess, might be close? A runaway jinn was hiding out in this, like, bubble of a fake world he made but it, apparently, had to run on suffering to keep the power going enough to sustain everything. So we were all, like, suffering batteries."

"Anyway, the book thing is complicated. But the short version is that my mum had this book that could trap the souls of the dead in it and someone put me in there after I died the first time. It was weird but not much else to report."
no subject
"Fear, mostly. The Captain, that's what he named himself, was afraid of being found and enslaved again. So, he made his bubble instead. We were all just kind of... there." To suffer. To power the bubble. For them, it really was pointless. But Max can't find it in himself to hate the man for it. He knows what it's like to have to hide away for fear of capture.
"Not much to--were you, like, awake and aware the whole time or were you just sleeping as a soul in a book?"
