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.

that's true
it is something that people normally have a lot of time
to think on

it's just
...
Wist is a Y'rhia Mugmort Moussear
and not a Rivera

[unpocoloco]

Ah, names
Okay, I can work with this.
So, what are you thinking?
Do you want to stay a Y'rhia Mugmort Moussear?
You can add Rivera on the end or you don't have to add it at all.
The rules have changed a lot with that stuff, just like with clothes.

[panpiping]

I want to fit in!!!
something still special
that means something
that fits who I am...
but fits with all of you
just a Rivera
to be as family as I can

[unpocoloco]

I will say for the record
You don't have to change who you are to be a part of a family.
Of this family.
I became a Rivera because I wanted to.
I could have stayed just Héctor or taken some other name.
But let me think.
You could be a Wisteria Rivera.
Or you could be something new.

[panpiping]

maybe because I was a changeling
but it feels like the right thing
in order to keep me as me
growth is being alive
but change is living
it's something truly incredible, isn't it?

I would change because I want to
to become a Rivera because I want to

besides
Wist has only been my name for a short while
relatively

[unpocoloco]

You're right.
It is.

Something special.
Miraculous even, like those little charms.
But I don't know, Milagros isn't much of a name.

[panpiping]

anything can be a name
for a while I went by Fizzybopwig
even with all the languages I know
it was only a fun noise until I decided it wasn't

any fey would be delighted to be a miracle
this fey doubly so!
to be one to you
...
though I'm not really any Virgin Mary?
so the meaning stops at translation and not tradition

[unpocoloco]

You make a good point.

That's sweet, Wist.
And no, I don't see you much as a Mary.
Just as I'm not much like my own namesake.

What about Mili?
It's not a common thing, where I come from.
Heck, Marys and Joses are much more.
But... I don't know, it kind of suits...

[panpiping]

Mili Rivera...
it does seem to match Coco Rivera and Teto Rivera
and it's like милый
so not just a miracle,
but a cute miracle...

is it something
you'd be okay with naming a child of yours?

[unpocoloco]

[There's a lot he wants to say here. He notices the way he and his daughter wound up with nicknames, the way Mili fits into that. He wants to ask what the heck they just managed through text. He wants to say they're a very cute miracle.

But that final question leaves room for nothing else. He knows what's most important here.]


Yes.
Yes, it would be.

[panpiping]

[Slapping some Cyrillic letters into a text isn't hard these days, Héctor, even for non-fey. Just grandpas with grandpa phones.]

then it makes me happy
I like it
I love it!
I hope
I get to be Mili...

[unpocoloco]

[Bullying elders... so rude...]

And I hope,
in that case,
I will get to bring Mili home.

I'll ask soon. Okay?
You talk to Po.

[panpiping]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

okay okay okay!!!
good plan
but I think he'll like somewhere warmer to nap
while he can
with real sun and everything
instead of the magic memory of it
and that can happen even if it's just a visit

[unpocoloco]

That is very good point.
I'm much looking forward to being somewhere warm too.

[He never wants to be cold again...]

Memories are nice, but it's hard to beat the real thing.

[panpiping]

of course!
because the real thing goes and makes more memories!
stronger memories!
even though I'm also a little offended
out of obligation
on behalf of my magic children...
I know not everyone appreciated them
but they should have!!
they were wonderful and I love them

[unpocoloco]

Ay, you know I didn't mean them as less.
Those children were as real as anyone.
They lived and experienced.
And they were real in the way that you could hold them.
They still live in all of us that were there.
I owe a lot of good to that time.

[panpiping]

you always understood it the most out of everyone
that's why you're the favorite ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[unpocoloco]

The greatest honor
And so many hearts too
What will I do with them all?

[panpiping]

whatever you want!!
I have an infinite supply ♥
I ♥
can't ♥
be ♥
stopped ♥ ♥ ♥

[unpocoloco]

An infinite supply?
Ah, well, in that case,
I will have to collect them and surprise you with a whole bunch
at some future point in time.

[panpiping]

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
