the fun part about our web of ocs is when we find new and exciting ways to tie in their lore.

if June was raised in a parish but later taken in by the goodnights (he's a fringe bastard), he wouldn't be able to align with how the family runs. this leads to his cousin gamorrah pointing out a run down old Church on his property in appalachia like hey, if you're too Catholic for running a family business come do this instead.

which means June meets Gamorrah best friend and couch sleeper, lucky- who is spooky in a very similar way- and stokes Gamorrah boyfriend nates religious roots into very likely attending mass. this could give him new community resources for taking care of his mother, mary may!

this ALSO means June meets Travis, who lives way out in the hills on the only plot of land for miles the goodnights couldn't poach. he uses the bible in his witchcraft but doesn't like traveling into Genesis, so a church halfway down the mtn instead? and on his lover Nero's old farm, at that?

Travis and June are like the perfect friends. perfect conversational compatibility. lucky and June would have a crazy relationship between junes ability to impress his desires onto others like reverse empathy, and Lucky's ability to communicate with spirits- esp those inhabiting the parish June is restoring. lucky lives his life "yes and-"ing the spirits he speaks to so junes influence is like 1 for 1 and June is very creatively driven to restore the spring and the direct input from the residing spirits is a GREAT inspiration for him.

this also ties Gamorrah and Nero in closer- they're cousins, but the goodnight family is very very large and spread out across the country so it's a good excuse to bond fr!

& Reggie frequently visits jackalshide to hang out with hunter and ruben, so going up the mountain to Genesis (jackalshides larger sister town) means plausibly running into June! his soulmate! thereby weaving him into all their weird little dynamics too, and making him more available as a positive role model and support system to hunter!!!

also it's not relevant but I also want to throw in the idea of June meeting Abel, who's the son of the preacher at the local snake church in Genesis, bc I think it would be funny. June has some interesting snake symbolism in some aus...
