When You Made Wishes: start! (player plot)

[deuteranope]

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.

Avery heaves a dramatic sigh. It's unintentional
As far as he's concerned, what Héctor's asking really is just that much of a burden.

"I'll try. But if he's a jerk then I get to be a jerk to him too!"

[unpocoloco]

He's not going to bet a child ten pesos that the elder Avery is going to say the exact same thing to him but boy is he ever thinking it. He's terribly and obviously amused.

"If I have to I can arrange to mediate," He says, neither denying nor approving of the terms. A little more seriously, he adds, "Thank you for giving him a chance."

[subconmodo]

"Only because he might be able to fix my mask." That is very important part and he wants to make sure Héctor understands that.

"And, um... Thank you for getting us out of there. And not getting us in trouble."

[unpocoloco]

He shakes his head but otherwise lets that part go. It's a start, and that's still something.

His smile slips.

"I'm just glad you're both okay. You two really scared me, you know? That's the worst thing for any good adult to see, a young kid being hurt. That's why so many of us worry and fuss. You're really lucky someone was able to let me know where you were."

[subconmodo]

That earns Héctor an odd look. "Huh? But... I thought we were alone in there." Someone would have said something to them or shouted or something if they saw them try and go into the garage, wouldn't they?

[unpocoloco]

"You were, but I got a message from someone about where you were heading from a kid--" A fae, but a little lie there is a better idea, for now. "--and I worked out the rest for myself."

As much a hassle as Teto's caused him with running off it's not like he can't guess some of the thoughts running through his head.
