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.

[If the tree was on fire or something, he likely would. But Grimm frequently dances with death during his shows with the Troupe and has done worse then climb trees. If it makes her happy, then so be it.]

I am Grimm. It is a pleasure to meet you Adelaide.

[He finally settles on a branch that seems large enough to support his weight, looking up at the young girl and smiling.]

It is quite the view from up here, isn't it?

[transfusionem]

You can see everything!

[Grimm's kind of a funny name, she thinks, but he's kind of a funny man. It suits him, she decides, before looking out across the ground.

You can't quite see everything, but it's close enough for her.]

Nobody could sneak up on us.

["Funny" is certainly one way to describe the dramatic vampire, and he would be amused by it.]

Nobody indeed. We could spend all day watching others and they would be none the wiser!

[And Grimm did indeed have a fondness for people watching. Everyone in the world was interesting in his own opinion and was Grimm's chief reason for joining Daybreak and preventing the coming Night. It's far too soon for humanity to pass on.]

And it is quiet comfortable. If the branches were thicker, I could see myself falling asleep here.

[Not in the morning because that would end poorly for everyone involved. But it is really just that nice.]

[transfusionem]

[That sounds like a good day to Adelaide, if she's being honest. Just watching people and not having anyone looking at her? Nobody would know she's there, so nobody could get mad at her.

It sounds...nice.]

You might get sick if you took a nap outdoors!

[She's going to fuss at him, now.]

That would be bad.
