First order of business:

Since this is apparently becoming a THING that keeps happening, I will be offering a "workshop" of sorts for all Contracted students to take place at 5pm on Wednesdays. Dinner will not be provided. Pay for it yourself.

If you're interested, either contact me or show up for the workshop--on time (it's rude to be late) with the details of whatever Contract your under. A paper trail would be preferable, but if your Contract was a verbal agreement, you can bring a list of all stipulations made as part of that verbal agreement instead. Be as thorough as possible. Even if you don't remember, the guy who you made the deal with probably does.

Second:

I'm on the lookout for a new car.

Or someone who can fix a car that's been totalled.

Also for someone willing to fix a mask for an annoying brat. Preferably someone good with runes.

There's a limit to how much misfortune can befall one person in a short amount of time before it stops being funny.

I'm feeling merciful for once. You should treasure it. [ And if he phrases it this way then it's easier to just assume he's being a shit. ]

[subconmodo]

[Yeah, that tracks. God. Did he really hit the point of being depressing already?

April really is the new February.]

I'll add it to my scrapbook.

And maybe bring the kid along with the mask. I don't know how much of a pain in my neck he's going to be if he doesn't think it's perfect.

[spelleton]

Noted.

[ He'll bring his younger self along, too. From what he's been told, he seems to get along with tiny Avery just fine, so it might keep the other boy preoccupied for a while. ]

Could I make something of a rather big request?
Baring that I don't have a whole lot of ways of repaying you but nevertheless will try to do so in whatever way you ask?
When you fix that mask of Avery's, is there any chance or possible way you could leave notes or a photo for how to, lets say
duplicate it?

[It's obvious what this is for. It's obvious who this is for. Nevertheless, he's not ashamed to go to Ekkehardt of all people with the request.]

[spelleton]

Not a large request. I would be happy to.

It has sentimental value, yes? [ He supposes that makes sense. ]

[unpocoloco]

He tried to pretend it didn't but he did an even worse job at that than usual. I don't know. He'll probably laugh at me or call it stupid but he doesn't have much left of his old home besides that creepy old deathtrap. I just think it'd be nice.

Gracias, mi amgio.

[spelleton]

You really insist on doing nice things for someone who is not very nice at all. It's endearing.

But I am sure he will appreciate it. Also while calling you stupid.

No need for thanks. Happy to assist.

[unpocoloco]

Endearing or stupid.

I don't know, I guess I just... think he's better than he thinks he is. And maybe if he realized that he would actually be better. He's been kind to me. And you're not allowed to use that against him, by the way, that's off limits, you have to make your own observations, but nevertheless, he's been a good friend. Despite literally everything he is. And despite that, I get him, on some levels.

Besides, I kind of owe him since Teto totaled his car.

[spelleton]

Extending your hand to something that bites can be both things. But it speaks to your character.

What goes on between him and you is your business. I know how to keep things separate. You really think so poorly of me? [ It's not really a judgemental question, just curiosity. ]

It's good that you understand him. He needs it. [ Héctor is a good person. Certainly a better person than him (though not really more responsible). It might be good for both of them, or it might just be chaotic, but it's a connection nevertheless, which is the important thing.

Both of them are lonely. Isolated, by what's happened in their lives. He's happy for that bond, even if sometimes he judges what they might get up to together. ]

[unpocoloco]

Everything in this world bites, amigo. And I don't just mean the magical world for once.

I don't think poorly of you. I think you're stupidly perfect and I wish I was half as much. I just think he's also a jackass and while he probably deserves all the fun poking he gets, I want to cover my bases. Since you're both my friends and I only want to betray your trusts where it's funny.

I think so too.
