[ There's a pause. She'd never told Jon the more... precise details when he'd contacted her to ask about her encounter with the Grass Demon. Nor about a link between him and Fern. She doesn't trust the man, certainly not with things about Fern.
Luna's face pales in realisation: oh, no. ]
He worked it out, didn't he? He asked about the demon. I never told him about the link to Fern. He... worked it out— what's going on, Varian?
no subject
He saw the... demon a while back. When he and Fern got into a fight. He told me about it and I've been trying to figure out what it was about since then. It trapped Ruby in the Great Sleep, and Glitch caught on pretty fast too. We were trying to gather information- that's why Jon came to you. Ruby mentioned you'd experienced something similar, too.
[When will he learn not to meddle? Jesus.]
We... we were trying to help him. We thought it was hurting him.
no subject
[ Trying to help. They thought Phthalo was hurting him. Luna puts her head in her hands, eyes closing for a long moment. The question is if she trusts Varian with it.
Her expression grows grim, eyes sombre. She's torn. But now she's incredibly worried. How have they tried to help? ]
Varian, what have you done?
no subject
[And now he's realising he made a VERY wrong call. Not for the first time in his life, likely not for the last. But this is hurting someone he loves and he wishes he could undo it. But he can't do that alone.]
We went into the Great Sleep and trapped the demon. We didn't kill it. But we thought maybe cutting it off from Fern might... I don't know, help him? But he's been getting worse, not better. He's been seeing things that aren't there- confusing me and Glitch for other people.
[He pinches the bridge of his nose, heaving out a sigh.]
I think we messed something up really badly.
no subject
Well how else would someone be if you decided to trap a part of them on another plane? You're not meant to be in there that long!
[ Maybe she's said too much already, but she's both horrified and angered that they'd try something like that. They didn't know, though. But she's still can't believe it. And if half of Fern's stuck there, no wonder he's slowly becoming unstable. ]
The demon isn't something that's adjacent to Fern. It's... it's something so much more than that.
[ She... she has to fix this. She has to put this right. ]
Where did you trap him? Where in the Great Sleep?
no subject
I didn't know it was a part of him. I thought it was something hurting him. Something this place put inside him. Because that's the sort of thing that happens here, Luna. I was trying to help him and I messed up.
[Again. It's frustrating that she knows more than he does about this. How does she know? He doesn't understand. Not even Fern knows. ]
Near by the junkyard, I think. There were a lot of wrecked cars. Jon trapped it in a web of memories.
no subject
And yet for all the strangeness in the worlds, you didn't think perhaps it was just something from home? You didn't think to even go and ask him? [ Ooo is rather out there in terms of strangeness. But that's how she found out about what the demon in Fern is. She asked. ] Instead you've gone and messed with something you had no right to. Jon poking at him should have been a big enough sign to leave him well alone.
[ If there were any trust in Jon, it's gone now. Of course, Luna has been poking at demons in other people but it's been done with research, not to mention a lot more delicacy.
She takes a moment, tries to calm herself down. She has to do something about this. ]
Alright. [ She needs help, she needs to call K. ] I'm... I'm going to try and put this right. I'm going to free the demon, try to clean up this mess before it's too late.
[ How much worse will it get for Fern? She'll find out soon enough. ]
no subject
[Though he has some demon-fuelled prejudice since realising one is pulling strings against his friend back home. There's a slight crack in his resolve, a flicker of annoyance in his tone. He's not great at keeping his temper and he's stressed out about Fern- he might not have a leg to stand on here, but the sully on Jon's character is patently unfair.]
Jon was trying to help, we all were. None of this was done maliciously. Jon isn't out to attack anyone. I don't know where anyone has the idea that he is.
[It seems pointless vitriol aimed at someone who's done nothing wrong. Yes, Jon might not be normal but who out of them was at this point? Still, what was important was helping Fern. He can't lose sight of that.]
If you think that'll work, good. Great.
no subject
Well maybe Fern chose not to know about it. He could have put it away in his mental vault. [ Her voice is short with him, words sharply enunciated. The mention of demons in one's head is a... sore subject for her, considering everything she's dealing with with Peter. ] I would suggest you pick your words very carefully, Varian. I know rather well about dealing with people with demons in their head, and believe me I don't suggest dealing with it more appropriately than what you've chosen to do lightly.
[ She's worked hard to help Peter. She doesn't offer talking to Fern to try and work out his own demon like it's the easiest thing in the world to do. It's a difficult path, and he's being quite flippant about it. Yes, let's just lock the demon away instead of trying to deal with it more peacefully, that'll work out rather well, won't it? ]
Jon went poking into Fern's head with as much delicacy as a toddler, persisting even when Fern told him to stop. And look how well his "helping" went there, look how well it's "helping" now.
[ Amateur hour. ]
It's the only thing I can think of to try and resolve this whole mess. [ She really hopes she has time. ] For Fern's sake, you best hope this works.
no subject
If he put it in his mental vault, then he put it there for a reason. Talking to him about it wouldn't help him, he'd hate that, it would just freak people out more.
[He knows, oh he knows his distrust of demons is coloured by what's happening back home. He knows without this knowledge he'd be so much more reasonable about it all. But all he can think of his how Cassandra is actively destroying her own life- and how that's being piloted by a demon who wants... what? He doesn't know, but it can't be good. ]
I didn't do anything lightly. I didn't just skip off into the Great Sleep thinking "oh ho, this'll be a jape!" I saw my friend was hurting and I did what I could to help him. And Jon paid his dues for what he did to Fern, he doesn't need to pay any more. He wasn't comfortable with this, either, I dragged him into it.
[He's not about to let Jon take the fall for his own mistakes. He sucks in a breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. He wants to be spiteful and petty and tell her not to bother. That he obviously came to the wrong person and he'll figure this out himself. But that won't help Fern- so he's just going to have to swallow his pride.]
Thank you. [That leaves a bad taste in his mouth, but needs must.] Despite what you think, all I want is for him to be safe. I made a mistake and I acknowledge that. I don't want him to hurt.
no subject
Of course, and it could simply be avoiding something difficult about himself.
[ She cares about Fern deeply, he's her friend. But even she knows he's not great at confronting his problems. He really is a typical teenage boy. ]
Well, thank you very much for 'your help', Varian. [ Said coldly. Of course she's being sarcastic. She's stressed enough as it is with Deerington being as it is in October. Her tattoo's starting to ache. She has to take a moment to herself because arguing with Varian isn't going to help matter right now.
She needs to act, and fast. She needs to call K. And... maybe it might be best if she asks Paimon for help. ]
I have no idea how the others feel about this, about letting him out, but I don't care. I'm doing it anyway. [ She hopes Varian doesn't go blabbing. ] There is a way to deal with this, but this wasn't the way.
[ There's little else for her to say. With that, she shuts off the feed. ]
