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!

Cat! Definitely cat! It -- iuhhh...isn't cute!

[Their baby changeling form is definitely catlike, with hard black horns in the place of pointed ears...not to mention the fact that Poe hangs out as a cat on the regular.]

You can stop crying now.

[panpiping]

Is it that important?
It's one letter!

[unpocoloco]

[That's the nice thing with non-humans sometimes. None of it means anything. He doesn't have to soften the delivery in the slightest.]

Pretty much! Just make sure you don't tell people, okay? It's easier to keep jerks from finding out if I just don't tell anybody. Some people know, but it's still a bigger secret than the name secret.

[panpiping]

Then yes!
As far as I know,
it's definitely hypothetical.
But given the expansion of human population,
someone probably is choking somewhere!

Someone asked me what I would do
if I couldn't open a door.
It was a very good question!

[suddenlybees]

Hm~ Yep, You can stop crying now! No more rude cat, promise!!

[ His promises mean nothing, but having somebody cry isn't nearly as fun or useful as when he can do it any other time to terrorize Wist into doing something for him, so he'll play the part of a good Shuuya now and hops onto the desk to pat Wist on the head.

And just so he won't feel left out, he pats Poe on the head too. ]

[panpiping]

[Their eyes, already wide and full of wonder, somehow go even wider.]

Bigger secret than the name secret... Okay! You can count on me! It's a promise!

[panpiping]

[A few more wet sniffles more, they calm down enough that Poe places them on the desk next to Kano. He doesn't seem to mind being pat, and even tips his head into the action a little before slouching back in the chair. Wist fusses with their tail, then goes to crawl into Kano's lap.]

...You're gonna play with us? Do I get more food while we play?

[suddenlybees]

[ Cute, but also terrifying. This must be what it's like to own a small animal that holds you hostage by sitting in your lap. ]

Yep, that's right! If we play together, you'll get food!! But as for what to play... Are you very strong, Wist? Poe, will you play too?

[vengeancedivine]

It's a very important letter. Perhaps one of the most important.

My ship allows me to move beyond their reach if needed. If they knew that I can so easily leave, they might try to find a way to stop me. You agree that would be bad, don't you?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[Oh thank heavens... Though the addendum isn't all that comforting.]

And how did you answer?

[panpiping]

[This is exactly what it's like.]

I can be strong! I'm stronger when I'm bigger, but I'm pretty strong now.

Hm... It seems that despite the interruption, the raid finished alright. I didn't receive as many commendations as I should have... [how dare his guild tbh] ...but I suppose I'm now free to supervise, at the very least.

[panpiping]

I said
that I'll have to get permission to enter from them
before they ever choke in the first place!
It's the only way.

[unpocoloco]

Gracias.

[He trusts you, Wist!]

Come on, let's not stay in the hall. We can go to the common room, your room, wander the grounds a bit... whatever you like! Maybe actually get to know each other.

[He laughs.]

[panpiping]

Hm, hm...
Yes! That would be very bad!
I agree!
I'll be more careful
from now on!

I have a question.
Is it the O or the I that is one of the most important letters?

[panpiping]

[!!! Someone trusts them... Amazing.

They bounce onto their toes at the suggestion.]

The grounds! I want to get to know you and see the grounds! Talking with your feet in the grass is the best, even if you haven't been stuck in a room for days and days!

[vengeancedivine]

Thank you, Wist.

As for your question... The O is important to humans. The I is our secret. Which do you think sounds more important?

1/2

[panpiping]

[Hmm...!]

The I!
It's our secret,
and it's in my name!

I've met some fun humans, though!
And O is in Poe's name.
...
This is tough.

[panpiping]

Oh!!
If you change the O to I
he becomes Pie!
Pie is good!!!
I solved it.

[vengeancedivine]

[Wist is a delight, and D loves them.]

How clever! Very good.

Speaking of pie, would you like some? I could bring some to your designated living box as a housewarming gift.

[panpiping]

Wow!!
You really mean it?!??

Please and thank you!

[unpocoloco]

You know what? You're right.

[He kicks off his shoes, reaching to tie the laces together and swing them over his shoulder. He shoots them a grin and leads the way.]

Well, first, I can actually tell you my full name. It's Héctor Rivera. That's where the R came from. There was a time, after Teto but long before I came here when Imelda and I were together. Since we're not anymore I try not to tell people so they don't bother her, since her name is Imelda Rivera. And of course, I couldn't tell the kids.

Now, what made you decide to come here? After all you said, I'm a little surprised.

[panpiping]

[They don't quite skip, but there's definitely something more jovial than a walk going on, even as their eyebrows knit in confusion.]

Héctor...Rivera... Umm... Rivera was that adult that was sort of nice... So you're...not...Rumplestiltzkin?

[dreams: shattered. How could their BFF Héctor betray them like this?]

Hmm... You? You and that human taller than me invited me! I'd get to see you more, and... [And...sigh. Their hair deflates around them, limp and wispy.] I learned...I really don't understand humans as much as I thought! Or times have changed... It's strange. I want to learn more so I don't make so many mistakes again.

[unpocoloco]

[It's very hard not to laugh.]

I am not, sad to say. That would be very cool to make gold with straw, but I think I like my own name better.

[It's kind of neat how emotive their hair gets. He does his best not to be distracted by it. Or tense to obviously at the mention of Rex.]

Times do change fast but it's probably just that humans are really complicated. Even to other humans sometimes. I'm glad you've come to learn.

And you'll get to meet the wierdest humans first, which is most helpful and probably the most fun.

[panpiping]

Oh...

[This is...so sad. Truly. They thought they met somebody famous there for a second. At least Héctor is still The Best.]

Straw into gold isn't hard, with the right equipment... Did they change the laws about that? Making gold? [Oh, and!! Their hair curls up at the ends as they think of it.] Full name! You can have mine, too! Now it's Wist Y'rhia Mugmort Moussear! Isn't it a nice name?

Hee...more humans that are weird, and helpful, and fun like you would be nice.

[suddenlybees]

[ Supervise... Babysit, he means, but having an extra set of eyes will be good, anyways, Kano going ahead and growing up again so he can wander the halls without anybody looking at him weird. As if they wouldn't, the way he goes directly to the door and waves them over. ]

Alright, alright, this is how we play~ I need help carrying this door! And when I remove all the other doors, I'll need help carrying those too!! Doesn't that sound fun???
