When You Made Wishes: start! (player plot)

Imagine Wist's surprise when April rolled around and their plan for a great prank was foiled on account of all those students just...leaving??? Truly, they have become the April fool... It's what they wanted, of course -- for the pitiful humans to find freedom -- and sure there are some stragglers around, but...in the end, they decide to take the win and enjoy a short break of their own. Good thing, too, or they might have pulled out all their hair in frustration when Spring Break comes to an end and the swarm of students and faculty willingly return to their prison.

While settling back into the academy and resigning themselves to a routine, the people of Daybreak will be soothed by a gentle tune rising up from the forest. It isn't a song they've heard before, and yet, somehow...it's nostalgic, isn't it? The soft notes of the pan flute stir up something in their hearts, tugging at old memories and drawing forth a feeling of dissatisfaction and longing out from under them. Let the song lull them into taking a moment to withdraw from the hustle and bustle -- hey, turns out they sort of need it. Maybe they're coming down with a cold, or just some quick little bug...

Why did you come back? You don't have to live like this.

Weren't things better back then? Try to remember what it used to be like.

The odd message from an iris account that doesn't exist isn't up for long before the spell kicks into the next phase. However they manifest and from when differs from person to person, but those affected will all have the bizarre experience of watching some ghost of themselves from their past be born from their soul's memory. Don't think there are those that can escape this fate just by returning at a later time, either -- Wist can keep up this panpipe nonsense all day, every day if they have to. If that what it takes to get their point across...

Good luck trying to comprehend whatever point that may be, because now Daybreak is the new home to a bunch of familiar-looking rugrats and has to contend with whatever complications they may bring along with them.

Hmm...I guess they're gone now.

Sorta! It was really weird so I wanted to check it out. But it's probably nothin'.

Probably... [And yet he squints into the dark.]

I was just going to play guitar some more, but I can help you look if you like. I'm Héctor. I think I just got to this school.

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-07 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
-? [Did...did she hear that right.] Héctor?

[She got a bit closer to thoroughly look him over. They do look similar enough. But, this doesn't make any sense.]

N-no way, you can't be Héctor! You gotta be taller!

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-07 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [What, was there something wrong with his name? He thought it was a good enough name.

Suddenly she's getting close, squinting at him.]


Wh-what? What does that mean? I'm plenty tall! [He stands right up straight, puffing up his chest with the guitar in hand. He still looks like a scrawny weed.]
hattersgonnahat: (Heeee)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-07 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually got a bit of a laugh out of her. For whatever reason, she could totally imagine the older Héctor doing something like that. Maybe he was actually telling the truth.] Nope, still taller!

...Buuuut, you are both a lot alike, so maybe you're right. I'm Puella, an older looking Héctor is my friend!
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Playing)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-07 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He's squinting all the more, head tilting. Right until she mentions an older Héctor. Suddenly, everything clicks.]

Oh! You mean Señor R! [Now he gets it.] I forgot his name's Héctor too. Yeah, he's way taller. But I'll be that tall one day! Just you wait!

We're not that alike though. Señor R is super fussy. And he never plays guitar except sometimes! And he walks funny, but don't tell him I said that cause I think it might make him feel bad. Um. Anyway, mucho gusto, Puella!
hattersgonnahat: (Is that so)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-07 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he walks that way because he's sick. [Though not exactly sure how the two correlate so much.]

[Either way, she is happy that smol Héctor knows big Héctor! But why Señor R..?]


He's not so bad! He seems to like music a lot too, but I guess he doesn't show it that much.
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Help)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-07 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, he said something about having a condition. He wouldn't tell me what though.

[It was a little worrying, but he didn't like to worry too much. Señor R said he'd be okay.]

He's not bad. I like him! He has shown me a few guitar tricks I didn't know. It's just, I don't know, he seems kind of sad, maybe, especially when I play. Music's not supposed to make you sad all the time. That's why I went out here. And because I like playing outside. [He shrugs.]

[Music makes Héctor sad??] I dunno if that's it. Pretty sure he's sad because he can't go home until he gets better...

So I doubt your playing has anything to do with it. Besides - it sounded really good!
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Concentrate)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-07 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. He didn't tell me that. He just said we can't go home yet. [But why did he need to wait until Señor R got better? He wished Señor R would just tell him things. He shakes his head.] Maybe it makes him sad because there was music back home. The town was named after this music lady.

I don't know. But gracias! For saying it sounded good. I can play more if you like!
hattersgonnahat: (Yesss)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-07 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He won't tell me too much about it either, but it's hard for him to travel until it goes away.

[Would be really nice to know what it is...]

[Oh well, it's something she can worry about later.]
Really?I don't mind hearing some more!
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Playing)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-07 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Maybe he could find some kind of medicine... later. For now, música!]

Okay! What do you want to hear? I can play whatever you want if I know the song!
hattersgonnahat: (Did I miss something?)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-08 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinks for a good while but no particular song was coming up as an absolute favorite.] Well, what songs do you like to play?
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Beaming)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-08 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
[This part was always tricky. He likes a lot of things and he could certainly choose a song, but he doesn't want to play something that a person won't like. He gives a nervous laugh.]

Well, actually I like Mariachi music the best! And I kind of like old songs. Like songs you hear on records. Blues and jazz and stuff. But I also like to write my own songs, sometimes... I don't have a lot yet, but I do have one that everybody likes!
hattersgonnahat: (Happy!!)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-08 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, old music ain't bad! [Isn't that what old people listen to though..?] I dunno much about the first one...

Wait, you wrote your own songs?!
unpocoloco: (Bitty - When Life Gets Me Down)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-08 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah! I write my own songs all the time. It's fun. I mean, I don't know if they're that good yet and they don't all have words, but...

[He shifts about, pulling the guitar up closer. He looks nervously at her, up and down, then takes a breath.

He lets his fingers fall upon the strings. Slowly, his eyes close and his smile grows soft. He drifts off with the music.]
hattersgonnahat: (Winged)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-09 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't know too much about music...actually make that hardly anything, so she doesn't fully get what makes it so special from the rest. At the same time, she can't really hear any mistakes there might be either.]

[...However, she has grown more appreciative for art of any kind after a few months fussing with runes now. The amount of care and detail that goes into creating things usually goes unnoticed, yet it is where most of the time goes to keep it all together. Puella may not know a single note, but she can tell that Héctor must have put a lot of work into it.]

[And sat down just a little bit closer to him.]
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Beaming)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-09 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[When the song ends his eyes open like he's blinking awake. They fall open her, so much closer than she was and he lets a small sheepish laugh.]

That- that one was mine. And I have another called El Mundo Es Mi Familia but it's kind of a silly one to sing alone. And there's some others I'm working on too but they're not ready yet.

Did... you like it...?
hattersgonnahat: (Is that so)

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-09 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
I liked it! [And she was quite happy to hear even more.] ...How many songs do you have? Do they take a long time to make?
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Concentrate)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-09 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He beams, glad for the approval.]

Sometimes. Figuring out music and lyrics on their own is fun but putting them together can be tricky. Sometimes you gotta make a lot of pieces before you find things that work together. I have a lot of pieces... but I'd need my songbook to count them.

[He frowns a little, shifting in place.]

I think it's back home. It's this little book with red leather. I usually never leave without it. I hope no one's thrown it away...

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2019-04-13 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt someone would throw it away if it was that important.

It's probably still waiting when you get back!
unpocoloco: (Bitty - Beaming)

[personal profile] unpocoloco 2019-04-13 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns.]

Maybe. I don't have a lot of things... I move a lot and my stuff gets lost like that... but maybe I left it in the plaza.

[The people in the plaza would take care of it. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe Ernesto found it.

He smiles at her.]


Yeah, you're probably right. I've only been gone a little while, they gotta know it's mine.
