[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.
sistermagnetic: (what a clever boy...)

Yard Sale

Magne's got nothing better to do during one of her few days off from work at the inn, so why not investigate someone else's secondhand treasures? Maybe she'd find something for the house that she's been looking at, or something vaguely in her size to go along with her slowly growing wardrobe. Knicknacks that she never had the chance to have before. It would be fun!

She doesn't even have to look around for long before she finds the absolutely ridiculous something that she didn't know she needed. Crouching down to inspect a box on which she'd seen a familiar name, she's first looking over it with pursed lips and furrowed brow, then going wide-eyed and flipping it over, inspecting it.

"No way..."

While Lev/Lyubov is sitting down in the shade—holding two cat plushies, having been dragooned into going with Anzu for the sole purpose of making sure they got one neon toy cat each)—Anzu is strolling around the yard, looking to see what else Gerry's liberated from the resident shady merchant. Magne crying out gets his attention, and he comes over to see what's the matter.

"Are these," he gestures at the box, stopping himself just before declaring the figurines to be either porcelain or rubber, since on closer inspection, they appear to be neither, "are these significant?"

Cecil answers the door looking like he's having a bit of a day. His hair is mussed, his shirt unbuttoned, there are inkstains on his fingers and Yorick is dead again.

Yorick is often dead again.

"Hello. You seem to have a cow."
lasthumanvoice: (there goes your freedom of choice)

"And you smell like the fanciest grenadine ever. What have I done to deserve such wonderful things to stick my nose on?"

He opens the door wider, some of his shiny coming back to him like the rising of a new sun.

"You should be careful going there. He's worse than malicious--he's greedy and self-centered and doesn't care what results from his actions."

Calloway will never be forgiven.
lasthumanvoice: (as we celebrate mediocrity)

"Goth Santa. Do we need to get you a cute little hat?" Cecil leads Gerry over to his couch, and flops like a contented rabbit. It is cuddles time now.
lasthumanvoice: (you just can't put)

"Myeh." That comment comes paired with Cecil leaning in, curling up around the strawberry cow and huffing out a Big Sigh. "Yorick died before lunch today, so I ended up elbow-deep in some of his city hall paperwork because someone's going to have to do it, and then I ended up taking some meetings about advertisements on my radio show, and I still need to figure out pricing for that. It was just...a lot of a lot. I'll be alright."

"We're not shoving paperwork onto Dahlia, she doesn't have a personal assistant anymore. But Yorick ought to be back soon. Until he's dead again. Honestly, if any of the new arrivals are magical enough to keep Yorick alive for more than five minutes, I will pay them to do so."

Beat. "But doting would be nice. I want to braid flowers into your hair."
lasthumanvoice: (they're gonna hang him so high)

"About Jon." Cecil purses his lips. "We talked, at Merrymeet."
lasthumanvoice: (and says what he wants to say)

[personal profile] lasthumanvoice 2024-03-17 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think we're alright. I mean, as alright as makes sense given everything. He apologized. I told him where he actually fucked up. And compared him to my brother-in-law. But I'm not...angry, anymore."
lasthumanvoice: (you just can't do what he did)

The cow gives a soft squeak as Cecil squeezes it tighter. "Would you actually have done that? Knocked his lights out, for me?"
lasthumanvoice: (there's some things)

[personal profile] lasthumanvoice 2024-03-18 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Likewise. Though I hope it never comes to all that."

Cecil lifts his head to look up into Gerry's eyes.

"Thank you."
sistermagnetic: (yell)

Magne looks half-scandalized as she holds the box nearly tight enough against herself to cave in the corners. She doesn't recognize the person talking to her, but they seem pleasant enough, if reasonably rather baffled.

"I know these men," she announces in slight disbelief. She points out the man in his plague mask with particular vehemence. "This one killed me!"
sistermagnetic: (grimace)

Lips purses, she stares into the box with its pair of figures, then lifts it in case Gerry does want to see what she's already decided she's taking with her. "These vinyl figures. How much do you want for them?" There's a particular intensity to that question.
