Hee hee hee...
Hello again!
Look, original lady that Jasmine came from!
I don't know
if I ever got your name, but
I got a real account this time!!
Poe just reminded me it exists!
He's been
holding out on me!

It's me! Wist!
Yeah!!

Nice to meet you all again,
but
it would be even nicer
if someone could come let me out of my designated living box??
I'm starting to get hungry...
And besides that,
it's really hard to watch over kids
when I'm stuck in here!

[panpiping]

Yeah!
I think!!
...
Maybe to be sure,
you should explain what hypothetical means?
Under...theory?
Something less than a theory?

[panpiping]

Hee~
Okay!

Wait!!
You're friends with Poe?!?
Woah!
I didn't think
he had friends here!

[panpiping]

[Wow!! No one ever says it's good to see them! This is great, friends are great.]

I've been asleep! And then I was bored, then curious, then hopeful! But then I got trapped! It was terrible. I screamed for a while!

[panpiping]

[They give a crooning sort of growl, friendly and curious, before cocking their head to the side.]

Yeah! Why wouldn't I be? Are you still the rude boy? Anyway! It's my turn!

[food!!! childishly grabby hands]

[unpocoloco]

That's... that's horrifying! But you're okay now, right?

[Wait.]

Do you mean you were trapped in that room? How long were you in there?

[panpiping]

Yeah! I'm all okay again.

[Mentally filing away this information, though, since they trust Héctor a heck of a lot more than they trust Kano. Screaming definitely more horrifying than fun, just like they thought.]

Umm, how long... What's the date?

[suddenlybees]

Hm~ Sometimes!! But I can be a rude girl too, here, look~!!

[ He goes ahead and switches over to "Tsubomi," just because he can, and gives his skirt a twirl. ]

Ta-da~!! Your turn!!

[ For???? ]

[unpocoloco]

To be honest, I... I haven't checked. I think it's very end of May. I don't know. It's been really crazy here.

[It's always crazy here. He hasn't had a not crazy night in a long time.]

[panpiping]

[!!!!!]

Wow! That's cool! You're so shiny now!

[At least, they think so. Kano's always been shinier than the average human, with his ever-present illusion, but now that there are even more changes...! So shiny!!

And...ah...their turn? Distracted away from foodquest by Tsubomi's sudden appearance, they decide that this means they have to shift again. Form of...an even smaller, fluffier impish gremlin...thing! They're just shy of a foot, now.]

[panpiping]

[Hm!!]

Okay! Then probably not as many days as it felt like! It was the end of May when I first got stuck, too!

[suddenlybees]

[ Haha, cute, if he didn't think that those teeth were still very very capable of tearing off his limbs. Guess he'll have to match Wist—- ]

Myaaa~

[ as if Kano weren't already one's worst nightmare ]

[panpiping]

[This time, their shriek is shrill and very much not a game as they scramble backwards so they can huddle on Poe's head and try to bury themself in the mess of hair. For hiding and for soaking up their giant ghibli tears.]

Aughh! I knew it! You're always so mean to me! Go away! Poe! Make him go away! Poe!!

[vengeancedivine]

Perhaps he didn't, but he does now. I arrived in Soliel a month ago.

When you are free from your designated living box, you should come visit my pet shop in town.

It would be nice to see you both again.

[suddenlybees]

[ This is terrible and I'm laughing while Kano is momentarily distressed, but since he's a cat, nobody can see that and he can be even meaner to Wist, transforming into Shuuya and pulling the saddest, most disappointed face he can muster as he turns slowly around. ]

...We didn't get to play a lot back then, so I was just hoping... But I can leave...

[panpiping]

[THE BIGGEST GASP]

Oh!
Oh!!!
I didn't see your ship at all!!!!
Hello!

[unpocoloco]

Oh, good. I would've felt terrible if you'd just been trapped this whole time and no one noticed. If you ever get stuck anywhere, just send me a message, okay? I can only help you at night time but if you can wait that long I'll make sure to come find you.

[panpiping]

[The good thing about their tears is that they blur things just enough to magnify the effect of the shiny, and it pulls Wist's focus again. They sniffle wetly.]

Nn...nuhh... N -- Y-you'll be nice? You'll be Sh-Shuuya?

[Hrmn, meanwhile Poe is not super psyched to be done with his odd meal and finally takes notice of the Very Large Rat Goblin on his head. He picks the furry little Wist up by the scruff and moves them in front so he can stare dully at them.]

You're being noisy. Hello, rude boy human known as Kano.

[panpiping]

Haha, yeah... We almost starved. Anyway!

[Anyway!!!]

How come it's only at night I can message you?

[suddenlybees]

[ Hearing his given name still makes his stomach twist uncomfortably, but he manages a bright smile, a complete 180 as per the course. ]

Hi, Poe!

[ Glad to know he's still rude boy, even if Poe knows his name. ]

I dunno, should I be nice? If I am, does that mean I can stay? I was hoping we could all play together!!

[unpocoloco]

[He's not sure if that's hyperbole or not and it gets another concerned look but, with them moving on...]

Oh. I'm dead. Undead. You saw me when we were out in the woods. Once morning comes my energy just fizzles up until the night comes again. I can only really move around and talk and think and stuff in the night.

[panpiping]

[Wist has folded in on themself, arms, legs, and tail all tucked in like they're really the distressed kitten they're being carried like, and another glob of...tears and snot drip down onto the floor with a splash.]

Yeah! Y-yeah, I w-want to play! But not if you go scary again!! Y-you scared me!

...if this conversation wasn't private before, it is now

[vengeancedivine]

[Wist...]

It's a shop at the moment. That is what the humans need to see it as. It would be a problem for me if they knew otherwise.

Please remember. It's very important, Wist.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Close. Hypothetical means in theory.

Meaning, you are speaking about the possibility of someone choking, and not someone that has been or is presently choking.

[suddenlybees]

Haha, am I scary~ Hey, hey, am I scarier as the rude boy, or the cute cat?

[ Wist looks more or less like a cute cat themselves? ]

[panpiping]

[It's less hyperbolic than it should be... Oh well. The idea of starving to death is sort of funny to them, and Héctor outright saying he's dead doesn't have the same impact as it usually does -- not just because it's been abundantly obvious to them, either. Sometimes dudes are just skeletons. This is more like "so what? and??" has been scribbled across their face in bright red marker.]

Hmm... That's the opposite of most people! I guess you're just like a corpse, then? [During the day? A really boring corpse?] I guess it would be hard to read if you can't think or move... Okay! I can wait for night!
