BIO: !Hola¡ Soy Héctor. Yo hablo español y un poco inglés. I've come to Daybreak to learn a little about all this magic stuff and help out around the Campus.

Si, si, yes, I'm here. Of course, I'm here.

[hattersgonnahat]

[Yeeeeeeey he answered!]

its safe for us to go now!

[unpocoloco]

...Sorry? Safe?

Is this about the portal thing? Are you sure? Safe how?

[hattersgonnahat]

yup!

i got to talk to the people in the rift again for a little while and it should be ok.

[Well, safe for her. But as long as Héctor was with her he should be fine too. Right?]

[unpocoloco]

Puella, that...

I need more detail.

What exactly makes this different than last time?

[hattersgonnahat]

because...

youd be with me.

[unpocoloco]

That's not

[Ay. He sees now.]

Puella, I don't mean that I need protection.

[Though he's not eager to face that stuff for his own sake either.]

I mean, if we walk into my memories, are you going to be safe?

[hattersgonnahat]

oh.. im not worried about that. i can just take care of those like i did last time. [Easyyyy]

besides, we arent gonna run into any of those with the time piece.

[unpocoloco]

We're not. Are you sure?

[hattersgonnahat]

im definitely sure!

[And for awhile she leaves it at that. Wondering. Not about the memories, she is still confident about that, but...well...she knows about the people that live inside the rift. How they definitely did not like the Nightmare King and, uh, eventually began to tolerate Ekkehardt.]

[She wondered how they were going to accept Héctor. Would they know..?]

....although i probably should have told them that youre....yanno....

[She didn't know if she should have!!]

[unpocoloco]

That I'm dead? Yeah, most beings don't like that.

Okay. We can do this. If you're absolutely sure this will work out, I'm going to trust you. But if you have any doubts, I want you to check things over again.

[hattersgonnahat]

i know we can do it!!



...they dont really like anyone thats not human. they used to get into fights with them, a really long time ago.

[And to get more to the point.] mum and dad said theyre sorta like family.

[unpocoloco]

[He doesn't argue not being human. As much as he considers himself human, he knows, in many other ways, that time is passed. In most of those other ways are in the eyes of others.]

Ancestors. That's probably what they are if that's the case.

[hattersgonnahat]

[Of course Héctor was still human - but she knows that's not quite the way they were going to take it. ...Even if she tried to explain it to them before.]


i think thats what it is!

[There's no way of knowing for certain if she were directly related to either of them. Or just associated through the same group. Either way it didn't matter too much.]

its kinda weird. because ancestors and stuff are supposed to be suuuuuuper old. but theyre still alive!

[...She thinks.]

[unpocoloco]

[There are many kinds of ancestors. Not all are blood-related.]

Hmm. That might be true, but there are many teachers here who are old enough to be someone's ancestor.

[hattersgonnahat]

yeah but thats because they arent human.

[Wait....]

unless all this time they actually arent human either.

which means...i might not be fully human too!!!

[No wonder she gets along with all of you weirdos.]

[unpocoloco]

Puelita. You do know that many of those non-human teachers used to be human, right?

You may be or you may not be. But how you view yourself is usually more important anyway.

[hattersgonnahat]

oh....right...that is true.

[All the other undead ones, anyway. And some vampires. To be honest, she's not so sure about the rest. They are just daemons aren't they?]

i must be human if i am a candle. but i dunno. i could be something else.

[Can that even work?]

[unpocoloco]

Ha! You never know. Species and things are all mixed up. I'm not exactly a normal undead. And I've met many others who were more than one thing. Perhaps you can ask your ancestors.

[hattersgonnahat]

[Ask them once they go back, yes. Those two would have to know...]

[There's still so much she has to find out about.]

hm, once i can convince them that not all undead are bad, i think they would like you too.

[unpocoloco]

We'll see. But thank you.
