[Open] Keep it locked up, keep it sealed tight
Who: Varian and YOU!
What: Varian's final corrupted days, his beasthood turn and the aftermath. See his corruption/monster page HERE!
When: First 2 weeks of Jan- before the event.
Where: Around the city!
Content Warnings: Applicable content warnings go here. Mentions of death, corruption, dissociation.
Hope you've stocked up - Last days of corruption
Anyone who's close to Varian will have noticed his slow corruption growth over the last two months. By the time January rolls around, things have gotten worse instead of better. By now his skin is made of a thick, black rock. This same black rock has turned his teeth into sharp fangs and his nails into claws. two amber horns sprout out from his head, and his elbows and one remaining ankle have spurs of the same stuff- as is the tail he's since gotten, flicking nervously as he paces around- firey red eyes darting around furtively.
He'd largely been keeping himself out of sight, trying to handle this alone, but his hallucinations have driven him onwards. He stares at things seemingly only he can see. If he comes across you, he'll grip your arm tightly (sorry if those claws hurt, he's not even thinking about it). He points at an empty spot of nothing, worry on his face.
"Eugene!" you are definitely not Eugene, but it's clear that's who he's seeing right now. "We- we gotta deal with these rocks before they take over everything! There's...there's got to be a cavern around here somewhere so we can cut them off, right?"
It's a long night - Monsterdom (Gaze and surrounding area)
Regardless of how much or how little help he gets in his final days of corruption, eventually, Fern decides enough is enough and the best way to handle this is to Fistfight God. Which is to say, he goes off to confront The Tower about this and gets himself killed by Never Mind in the process. Varian got there too late, and being the driving reason behind his boyfriend dying again was the final nail in the coffin for him.
The transformation is quick and sharp, and what's left is a a ten-foot rock monster spewing fire everywhere. His leg is still missing in this form, at least, which should help anyone with a quick ID-check. Varian himself rages through the city, slamming against buildings and breathing fire at anyone foolish enough to come close. It's definitely attracting the attention of nearby hunters- so perhaps finding a way to talk him back down before there's another death today would be for the best?
Nothing good is meant to stay - Aftermath
Eventually, Varian lets his friends in, lets them talk him down and the best hood fades. Parts of corruption still cling to him- his skin is still an unhealthy grey colour and his nails aren't quite back to normal yet. He's also sitting in a ball on the floor- partly out of shock and partly because he can't go anywhere without his leg - if someone could fetch him that, that would be awesome.
Or perhaps you come to him in the days that follow. He mostly stays near the Disaster House in Cassandra, as he waits for Fern to come back to life. He can be found inside the house, or sometimes sitting on the front porch, people-watching. Though he's certainly not better yet, day by day the signs of corruption lessen. Any visitors will get a tired smile, he's still a little withdrawn, but he's getting there.
"H-hey, thanks for checking in," nothing has changed how awkward he is at least! "Um...how are you doing?"
Because obviously, you're here for him to check up on you. Obviously.
[[OOC: The monster battle is intended to be open to any CR who want to take part. No ONE character will be responsible for talking him down from monsterdom, it is intended to be a team effort- hammering home that Varian is able to rely on his support network. Feel free to make separate threads, team up with other players, thread hop, etc. Do what you like, and we can wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey it so it happened around the same time- to make it easier than players trying to keep to one concurrent thread! Go nuts! As always please hit me up onteeeff for anything! ]]

[ the house has been weird with the absence of fern. among other things. ]
no subject
[This is far, far from the first time Varian has had to deal with this particular loss. ]
He'll definitely need a little TLC when he gets back, it... it always takes a lot out of him. Having to reform.
[He has to say it as a when because he cannot, under any circumstances, think of it as an if.]
no subject
[ people have mentioned it. dying and coming back. plus she was there when dr. wesker returned. ]
no subject
[And as much as he's trying not to admit it, he IS nervous about if the difference in resurrection techniques here will have any adverse effect on his boyfriend. ]
So long as he gets plenty of sunlight and fertiliser, he'll be okay. He'll just be a little...sluggish. At least here our memories aren't messed with when we come back here. That made things... [he casts his gaze to his leg, the price he paid once to ease Fern's resurrection amneisa] complicated in Deerington.
no subject
[ and didn't trust them to help him out. ]
no subject
[He's dead back home. That's the be-all and end-all of it. Fern is dead back home. And Varian's always terrified that if he dies here, he might just stay dead. Like he is back in his home world. And that would be that.
It made him reckless and stupid and he really should have just let them in and let them help. But he didn't and now he's here. ]
I guess I'm always afraid that eventually he just won't come back.
no subject
but she also knows that fear cannot control her. ]
I think you need to talk to him about it too. We all want to be close to the people we love.
But that doesn't always make them ours.
no subject
...Yeah. I think I'm at the point where I need to talk to him about it.
[Because maybe talking about it will mitigate it being this bad if it happens again. ]
But we still worry about them anyway, huh?
no subject
[ all stories must end in some way. or bring about the beginning of a new one. either way, how they decide to live it is what matters. ]
no subject
[Or do his best for it- do everything in his power to make Fern's life here a good one. It's the only one the guy has left. He wants to make it worthwhile. ]
no subject
It's all we can do.
no subject
[And because he'd rather focus on other people than his own issues. ]
And are you doing okay? I...I know it's been a really hard few weeks.
no subject
no subject
[He doesn't sound THAT convinced.]
no subject
Otherwise, it'll get slippery.
no subject
[That's not quite true. Years ago, he was painfully optimistic. But reality got rid of thatparticular habit pretty damn quickly. ]
But maybe it wouldn't hurt to give it a fair shot once in a while.
