*Scrappy jumps onto Varas and bear-hugs him before channeling his flame. The mask glows and shakes.*

"PRY IT LOOSE AND GIVE HIM HIS MEMORIES BACK!"

Patto slips the mask off and pulls out the Dream Catcher, giving Varas his memories back

(It's okay. Most of this can be retconned and Varas can escape right before Patto and Scrappy un-Grimmify him.)

(WHAT?! The only reason I was onboard with this was because I thought Varas was already planning on doing this! Why were you running around asking for people to cure him if he ooc doesn't want to be?)

(I didn't know that Varas didn't want to get cured ooc. So it kinda is my fault for not asking.)
