The sound of your voice, cuts through the noise, It's all that I hear, that I need the most

Who: Héctor and you
What: Héctor and his daughter return
When: After the day of the dead, month of November
Where: The Inn of Atropos, Soliel, Daybreak Academy
Warning: N/A

A - Crossing the Bridge

He would have liked to simply stay in Mexico. It was hard to shake the fear that if he left, he'd never see it again. But, with the sun rising and others needing to return, travelling along with the others seemed the best choice. And besides, Coco was with him. That was more home than anything in the world.

His room at Daybreak Academy is gone by now, but he's alright with that. He and his girl are saying in the Inn of Atropos, courtesy of Maverick's mother and her not even protesting the fact that he's dead in the day. It's something Coco has to bear with and they've got a lot to talk about, but in those night hours she's awake with him and he couldn't be happier.

He's got a lot to sort out on his own-- apparently, the veil finally dissolved sometime while he was away. This means resisting as an existing member of society, for better and worse, and negotiating his undead status is something that he and everyone he talks to is having to navigate. Still, soon enough, he'll be home. He and Coco will both be home.

He doesn't hide his room address. At least not from friends. They're all informed on where to find him, if they wish to seek him out, and he can be occasionally found in the lobby as well. He's in a good mood, eager to chat.


B - Pestering the Celebrities

"No. Ha, no. No, thank you, no."

Héctor backs out onto the street with a sheepish grin. His hands are raised. Apparently, his newfound fans have found him.

Fame, he finds, doesn't suit him, but fame is what he's found himself with nevertheless after his performance with Coco on Día De Muertos. Some are new fans, some are old De La Cruz fans come around to him, and some are more curious about his undead status than anything else. He hasn't yet managed to change back to his living self, though his energy is gradually returning. He hopes, if it comes back fully, he'll be able to slip into his skin and return to some level of anonymity back home.

Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't willing to play for people. He can be found, later, playing at a fountain in the center of Soliel, where he once heard a girl named Maya Matlin play, not far from the gazebo where he played with Peter Parker. He experienced some terrible things in this town, but there were many wonders too.

C - Dept. of Reunions

He couldn't stay from the school forever. Besides needing to wrap a few things up; telling the higher faculty that he was sorry, but, he just couldn't help them cure blight any longer and then further resigning from a job that forgot he existed anyway. It occurs to him that, with everyone remembering him again, and his own new necromancer status, he might again be able to resurrect himself if they can find a way to rid his body of the poisons. But... that's something he'll table for now. It's something to talk over with his family.

Right now, he wants to focus on his friends, the people who saved him and others about.

"Hey," He says, hovering in the doorway with a grin. "Hope you didn't think you could avoid seeing me forever."

How do you do! [She smiles and waves.] It's been a chaotic season, that much any can say. But we're all glad to see you again.

Worry not. We're glad to have recovered you, even if what happened still feels very strange with all the holes.

So, normally this is where I'd say "missed me?" [Jail is leaning casually across the window frame, sprawling like a cat, because using doors and sitting like a normal person is for chumps.] 'Cause I always like to assume everyone does- I mean, c'mon, look at me. I'm a delight.

But shit went kinda sideways, so I'm just gonna go with "hey". Been a while.

[It has. But she's smiling, anyway.]

Good to see you up and walking again.

[Oh no, emotional sincerity, her one weakness. Her expression softens into something a little gentler, still pleased.]

Serious shit went down while you were out, but it wasn't the same without you. [Even not being able to remember him, it just didn't feel quite right.]

[It feels weird to be back at school, though he realizes that he has much less reason to feel so than, say, Héctor. He's been keeping to himself a little more, wanting to give Coco time to reconnect with her father after so long apart, but that's the thing making it so weird. Coco's been part of his Daybreak life since the start, and she'd gone and called him her best friend. He had a best friend! A really wonderful one... He wanted to be near her, being a playful nuisance.

...He should really get used to not having her around. Even without such an important reunion, Cliff knows that she'll be heading home soon. She wasn't a student here. Even if things were better, chances were that she was going to be grounded for what she'd done -- a ride he'd gone along for but was over now. He puffs glumly at a cigarette and kicks around a crumpled can he'd found while walking around. He'd pick it up eventually, when he got to a trash can, or something...

Or he could get distracted by what's now a somewhat familiar sound, head perking up to listen a moment longer to something a boy like him shouldn't be able to hear before he wandered closer to the music. Is it weird to listen to your best friend/crush's dad's music, especially after the added weirdness of rescuing him from being forgotten forever? And then pretty much immediately zonking out, missing out on any real introduction? Hm. Well, he's here now, anyway, awkwardly watching Héctor play at the fountain.]

[personal profile] awooligan 2020-11-02 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Cliff hesitates, mind immediately wondering if he's somehow in trouble with this man already. Parents, excluding his mom, didn't tend to like him...but he pushes the possibility aside and starts to wander closer. He hasn't done anything wrong, and the smile seems genuine enough. Then again, don't skeletons always kind of grin? Normal skeletons.]

Okay.

[He glances about, but thankfully it doesn't seem like there's going to be a rush of strangers swarming them -- swarming Héctor, really -- so he goes to sit where indicated. Cliff pauses again before reaching down to put his cigarette out against the ground and set it beside him. Best behavior... It feels itchy, like skin that doesn't fit quite right.]

You look better.

[Being fair, just about anything would have looked better than the state they'd found him in.]

His eyes light up as he turns his head to the voice, the corner of his lips tugging. "Well hello, I would most certainly make sure you don't disappear on me,"

He shook his head. "The blame is not yours, I'm glad we did get you back," though it was close, and nearly costed a young girl her life.

"It did feel like something was missing," With that, Sherlock pushes himself off the bed, fully made despite the messiness of his room... where did he sleep in the mornings anyways?

[Urtz had missed out on a lot of the struggles Héctor had been dealing with, even before she left the school to get her affairs in order. It was something she felt bad about, especially with how much help he'd been in dealing with the trouble her sister had caused. But even so, she was nothing but smiles when he walked through the door of her office. She had been practicing the piano, but that could always wait.]

Perish the thought. I only wish I could have seen you sooner. But for what it's worth, it truly is nice to be back here with you again.
