[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.

"Good to know..." There's a moment of Dabi scrubbing his hand through his hair before he stops and arches an eyebrow.

"So I've been told, but...no, what's that?" Yeah he had flames but they sure as fuck weren't 'lightless'. Holding up a hand, in the most nonthreatening way he can manage with his experience, Dabi produced a smaller than usual blue flame in his palm. "I mean I have fire based powers if that's what you're asking but there's nothing lightless about them."

Dousing the flames, Dabi leans forward a bit to look over the burns. They remind him of his own when he was younger. Before they spread, before he began to burn from the inside.

"Mines a little more...self inflicted." It's not completely wrong. "Got my old mans fire power," pun not intended. "And my mothers weak constitution...made for a kid who couldn't use his own powers without burning himself up. Add some shitty parenting and this is what ya get."

"Dad for sure, mom just didn't do anything to stop him." That wasn't completely true, she tried...but she was just as weak as the rest of them to stop Enji and in the end Touya came to resent her for it.

"Old man basically bought and married a woman because he figured his powers mixed with hers would make an unbeatable hero. Raised his first kid and once said kid started showing signs that he wasn't the perfect masterpiece he wanted...the asshole went on to have more kids. Total of four of us and only one us was deemed 'perfect' to him." Yeah...it's not the same as what Gerry went through but, they both had some messed up lives.
