[Well, he promised he'd contact her about this, and he can't put this off any longer. He's been the most worried about talking to Moana about his past. She's such a good and decent person- she reminds him so much of Rapunzel. While he doesn't think she'd turn him away for the truth, he is afraid of hurting her with it. After all, it's not every day you learn the friend you've had for months turns out to have an entire army of skeletons in his closet. ]

Hey. Remember me saying we probably needed to talk once the portal problem had calmed down? I think it's about that time.

[findingways]

[ Moana had been doing her best to be patient and waiting for Varian to bring up talking about his history. She understood it was a sensitive topic for him, and she didn't want to push him about. But somehow, the more he put it off, the more nervous it made her. She didn't think there was too much he could say that would make her not want to be his friend, but the fact that it was so hard to talk about made her wonder just how bad it really was.

When he finally does contact her, she's both relieved and still a bit worried. But she promptly replies. ]

Okay. Should we meet somewhere to talk? Or would it be easier this way?

[ Knowing it was already a difficult subject for him, she wants to make the process of talking as easy for him as possible. ]

[droptheious]

[He's so relieved to see she's still willing to talk. He's still terrified of what might come out of this, but the fact she's willing to listen is a start.]

This is definitely an in-person talk. Do you wanna come around? Fern's not in right now, he's doing his crossing guard thing so we'll have some privacy.

[findingways]

[ She'd made a promise, after all, that she wouldn't abandon him. ]

Sure, I can head over. You're still at the apartment building that Zodiac lets you guys stay in, right? What's your apartment number?

[droptheious]

Yup, that's the one, honestly not as bad as you'd think.

[He'll put an apartment number down for her.]

I'll make sure there are snacks.

[A little humour to try and get through the anxiety twisting in his gut.]

[ She makes sure to save it in the contact information for him, so it'll be easier to find if she needs to visit again. ]

All right, I'll be there soon. Make sure to have some ice cream.

[ Also sort of joking, but honestly, ice cream is always good for if things get emotional.

She doesn't know if there's really much she needs to do in terms of getting ready - they were just talking, after all - but she does take a bit of time to clean up a little before heading to the apartment building. Double checking to make sure she has the right apartment number, she then knocks on the door to announce her presence. ]

Voice message | un; pirateking

[couldntsaveone]

Heyyyyy
Hi
Hi
Hiiii

How are you?

Despite his usual cheer, something about his voice seems just slightly... off. There's a small but noticeable strain to his voice.

Hey we should get together, hang out!

Hi friend. Please help him get his mind off things he can't change. He's not really good with this sort of thing and he can only hide from his problems so much.

[findingways]

[ While Moana is a bit surprised to be getting a call from Luffy, she definitely does pick up the strangeness in his tone. ]

Yeah, all right. Where do you wanna go?

[couldntsaveone]

You said you have a boat, right?

I'm stronger now. Let me help you move it!

Boat. Water. Potential voyage on the ocean. That will definitely get his mind off things.

[findingways]

[ That doesn't sound too strange on her own, but she still can't help wondering what brought this on so suddenly. Still, it'd probably be easier to get to the bottom of it in person. ]

Yeah, sure, that'd be great. It's at the lake in the park, so I can meet you there in a few minutes and we'll go from there?

[couldntsaveone]

Sure! I can meet you there!

Perfect! This will definitely get his mind off things! And it doesn't take him long to head over to the lake to meet her.

[findingways]

[ After hanging up, it doesn't take long for Moana to get to the park either, and when she sees him she waves. ]

Hey, Luffy!

A gift!

[droptheious]

[For her birthday, Moana will be visited by Ruddiger, who is carting with him a lovely little wrapped box. If Moana is foolish enough to let him inside, he'll definitely rifle through her kitchen for food before taking a nap nearby. Raccoons, it turns out, are not the most reliable of messengers.

Still, the package is relatively intact and the present inside is fine! When Moana opens it she'll find a seashell necklace filled with glow-in-the-dark alchemy. Pretty! With it, there's a note wishing her a happy birthday.

[findingways]

[ Moana definitely lets the little guy inside, and even helps him find a snack. While he's napping, she unwraps the gift from Varian, then sends him a quick reply. ]

Hey, Varian! Thank you so much for the gift, I love it!

[ She'll also snap a picture of Ruddiger sleeping and sends it to him. ]

Also, he might not be back for a while.

[droptheious]

You're welcome. The chemical compound in it shouldn't run out, but if it ever gets dull, just give it a shake and it'll be back to normal.

Yeah, that's always a risk with him, sorry about that. If he gets too much of a bother, just put him out.

[findingways]

Oh cool! I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

Haha no worries. He's not the worst house guest I've ever had, honestly.

[droptheious]

You say that now, but we'll see if you say the same once he's eaten half of your kitchen.

[findingways]

Honestly, I've had groups of teenagers over at my house before, that's pretty much the same thing.

( at some point before winter break, moana will find a perfectly wrapped blue and silver box sitting on her homeroom desk. everyone's been polite enough not to mess with it, but the sender isn't anywhere to be seen! within the box is two things: a book of myths about japanese water creatures- from harmless to straight up demons- and a blank-looking cd save for a blue snowflake drawn on it.

the cd, at least, will play a few tracks. some are soft like where the tide meets the shore you stand on, and some... some feel more like the large waves that come with a storm. maybe that is not good, actually, but mafuyu doesn't do the whole 'comfort' thing well. )

text | un; Deja Boo (A few days after the explosion)

[schrodingersghost]

Hey. Can we meet up somewhere and talk about something? I don't really want to do this on the app.

[findingways]

[ Her first thought is immediately to ask if he's all right, but she holds that response for now. If he doesn't want to do it over the app, she'll have a chance to ask in person. ]

Yeah, of course. My parents aren't home right now, do you wanna come over?

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah. That sounds good. [He didn't really want to be alone at home right now.]

I'll be over in a few.

[findingways]

All right. See you soon.

[ While she's waiting for him to come over, she'll grab some things they can snack on if he needs, though she has a feeling they won't really be doing much eating. But it's a good distraction to keep her from worrying about all the things that might be wrong. ]

[schrodingersghost]

Danny arrives a few minutes later. When he walks inside the first thing she might notice is that he looks bad, like he hasn't been sleeping for a few days. Which would be true. It had been a very bad few days. Ever since the explosion he hadn't been able to stop thinking about... that.

"Hey." he says with a tired attempt at a smile. It wasn't very convincing.
