[Varian get a black box of orange creams with an anime Luz busily reading a book saying "Thanks for making this world less complicated (and scary) and more fun! Happy Valentine's Day Varian!"

[droptheious]

[Awww this is kind of cute. He only very vaguely understands what Valentine's Day is - and it's roughly like The Day of Hearts but apparently less steeped in hundreds of years of bloody conflict. Still, she'll get a message back from him. ]

Thanks for the chocolates, that's really nice of you. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day where I come from, but I appreciate this all the same!

[imaglyphwitch]

No, I figured you didn't, but I wanted to bring a little of my world's traditions to you!

[droptheious]

That's nice, thank you. We have Day of Hearts which is less gift-giving and more remembering the end of a bloody war. But couples write their names in this old journal? To like... lock-in their love, I guess?

[imaglyphwitch]

Oh, well, that's good too, though too bad they're missing chocolates and candy!

Uh? Hmm, Sounds like an old persony thing to me. Love lock? Weird.

[droptheious]

Oh, it's okay, there's still chocolates and candy. Uncle Monty makes a killing this time of year.

Oh um, I mean more like- make it permanent. The idea is when you write your names in the journal, you're declaring your love to the world. Something that can never be erased. So you want to be really sure before you do it.

[imaglyphwitch]

I'm going to assume Uncle Monty is a friendly candy maker and not some candy gangster.

[Look, it SOUNDS like he could be one, that's not her fault, capitalism is still very much a thing in her world]

Still seems a bit over the top, but who am I to judge? Everyone's traditions are their own.

[droptheious]

He's a friendly candy maker. Pretty much beloved by the entire Kingdom. ...Uh, almost.

[Because for some reason, Rapunzel hates him. He's still not sure what that's about.]

Corona is all about being over the top. That's one of the tamer celebrations we have.

[imaglyphwitch]

Hm. Sounds suspicious to me.

[Yup, Luz has read one too many novels where the worst person is the one you'd least expect it to be].

Really? I guess you guys really know how to party then! Now that I think about it, is there anyone else from your world here?

[droptheious]

He really isn't. He's just a very nice person. He's not even an ex-convict.

[Like... half the damn population.]

There is, there's Rapunzel. She's the princess. You can't miss her if you see her, she has seventy foot of hair, sooooo super noticeable. Kristoff and Anna are from my world too, but a different Kingdom. We've never met back home.

[imaglyphwitch]

I mean, as far as YOU know. Sometimes people act differently with others.

[She knew that for sure].

Rapunzel? As in "let down your hair" Rapunzel? Hmm. Haven't heard of Anna, and isn't Kristoff that guy who tried telling people to explain their feelings a month ago or something?

[droptheious]

Uncle Monty acts nice to everyone. I don't think he could keep that up forever if it wasn't true.

[Uncle Monty is a saint, gosh!! He sighs softly, ah, this again.]

Yeeaaah, that Rapunzel. Apparently, our world is like.. a fairytale for some people? We try not to think about it, it's just weird. But yes, Kristoff is the guy who tried to get people to explain their feelings. Anna is his fiancee- she's the Queen of their Kingdom.

[imaglyphwitch]

You have a point. I mean, he'd have to be like that all the time when he really wasn't feeling that.

Oh. Well, whatever. You guys sounds like your version of the fairytale is WAY better anyway. Besides, all of our worlds are real to us, so who's to say who's world is real or a fairy tale?

[droptheious]

I think you're looking far too deeply into the character of Uncle Monty.

There is that- that's mostly how I've been trying to deal with it. Otherwise, I think I'd end up going a 'lil crazy.

[imaglyphwitch]

I probably am....but maybe that's what he wants me to think! You never know!

I mean, let's face it, in some ways all of our stories are our own fairy tails. But that doesn't mean we're any less real.

[droptheious]

...Beeeeecause he wants you to think about him a certain way? Despite having never met you?

[At least he sounds amused by it all. He can just picture Luz sneaking around Corona, spying on Uncle Monty, trying to catch him in some despicable act like feeding orphans.]

Yeah. I mean, I feel real? I have real memories of real people, and real things that happened to me, so... yeah, I think that counts.

[imaglyphwitch]

Yeah, he's a crafty one, that guy. Even through different universes he's playing the long game. Despicable.

[She had to lean into it. how could she not]?

We are all real, in way or another that way though, right? Even if other universes might say we're fiction, the truth is that we're living in that world, for real. So I think I agree, you are right.

[droptheious]

Uh huh. If you say so.

[He doubts it but he'll let her have this. ]

That's how I've been trying to see it. Besides, I really hate Superior, so anything I can say or do that goes against her core beliefs is a-ok with me.

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz is just being blatantly goofy here].

I'm not really a fan of her either, since she'd the reason Vira's head is detachable.

What is it that Mother Superior believes', anyway?

[She'd heard quite a few opinions of this so she wanted to be certain].

[droptheious]

She did some... pretty awful things in July so. Yeah.

[Varian hates her a lot, he'd be very okay if she died horribly.]

She thinks none of us are real. So our lives don't matter.

[imaglyphwitch]

[The look that crossed Luz's face was definitely not one most saw, because it was seldom Luz ever looked like this, but it was definite loathing].

I thought I'd had what I feel about her right. Vira says she has sympathy for her, although it is really hard for her to feel that, considering her head.

And then there's you and Dipper...and Ruby. I blame her for those things. I don't get how you let that happen to people. You have to be evil to do something like that.

[droptheious]

[Wow, that's a new look on Luz, and he doesn't like it. Even if it's aimed at someone who absolutely deserves it.]

I don't have any sympathy for her. She's just... a terrible person. She did really awful things- she made us do awful things. So yeah. Pretty evil, and I'm pretty familiar with that.

[imaglyphwitch]

[It's not a look Luz is used to having, but she definitely reserved it for people who messed with her family. The Emperor would also get a look like this].

You did mention that before, what with the being evil and stuff. What made you want to go down that road anyway?

[droptheious]

[Varian's gaze drops, hooo boy.]

...One of my experiments hurt my dad- trapped him in something that only Rapunzel could help with. But when I went to her for help she... well, she couldn't. Due to reasons beyond her control.

It's a long story, but I can tell it if you want to hear it. It's just... not great.

[imaglyphwitch]

That's awful. I'm sorry Varian. I would be as freaked out if something like that happened to my mom. That's really scary.

Oh, wow. That must have sucked for her too, to see you like that and not be able to help.

If you're ok telling it. Yes. Please.
