𝄞 TERCERA CANCION 𝄞 VIDEO 𝄞

[micancion]

[The feed clicks on and Hector is grinning! he looks, well, pretty put together for once! His bones, while not blinding white, are no longer yellowed or brittle looking. The pourous holes in his joints are gone adn even the faint cracks are gone, healed with fresh white bone.

It's gets a bit shaky after that as he tries to show his left arm and hold the camera at the same time, and giving a sharp whistle.]

Oye! Jefe!!! Ey! Look at this, amigo! Good as new! no more tape!

[He focuses the camera on his ulna bone, a clean and stark white 'scar' showing where it had been cracked.]

Rib is great too, ah...well the broken one. I don't think I'm getting this back soon. And my knee's almost completely connected!

so, hey, Señorita Tyler, I´d like to speak with you, eh? Buuut, I don´t know how to make those private thingies. Could you maybe, you know?

[He waves his hand, still grinning.]

Anyways! Thanks again Jefe, you...well you don't know how grateful I am. Gracias again!

Locked!

[bigbadrose]

It's locked now, what's up?

Err... que pasa? [In before "No, don't do that."]

Re: Locked!

[micancion]

[He will not make fun of your bad accent, Rose!]

Nada, nada, really!

Just to let you know that I can go a lot farther now with uhm the deliveries. And! I won't just disappear now. Suave, verda?

Re: Locked!

[bigbadrose]

[.................. WERE YOU IN DANGER OF DISAPPEARING?]

[Is this a "I need to go further because only Everglade is boring" psuedo-request?]

[....]

[...]

[Que?]

I mean, that's great news. [SHE ASSUMES?] But there's not really a lot of call for blood deliveries to Attleton. I mean if you want to advertise expansion, go for it, but usually anything I gotta pick up from Nova, I just do myself. [Chews a fingernail. It's not that she doesn't trust him, she just... wouldn't let the Doctor do it either oops.] I think only people with pendants could want blood in the other cities, um but you can advertise to them, if you think they'd go for it?

Are you sure you won't cause a riot as a skeleton in normal daylight? Well... I guess going up to Halloween it should be fine. Wanna be a walking saleboard?

Re: Locked!

[micancion]

[....yes? But it's fine! don't worry! Look, he's grinning and trying to look innocent.]

I don't think so? I mean I think people are done screaming by now. But yeah, I can do pick up or anything like that. Not like I can get tired or sore muscles!

[la_matrona]

[he looked... good. Better than she could remember seeing him in a long time. She feels a small sting of relief at this. Looking whole again. It's easier to see him this way. Just another esqueleto, healthy boned and not... dragging sympathy from her.

Now he is fine. Somehow, she can't say but it doesn't matter. He is fine and she can talk to him and it doesn't even hurt a little. She's been here long enough. She no longer cares.]

Good. Now stay that way if you can.

[though she honestly doesn't give him five months]

Re: Video

[micancion]

Imelda.

[He...is surprised and fumbles a bit trying to get his hat off. Imelda may not like him at present, but she was still a lady and he wouldn't put it past Padre to find him and beat him with his own hat for ignoring manners.]

Ah, I'll be fine. Nothing can get me. I'm too intimidating.

[Maybe to fleas but he's still going to grin and try to puff up. But clean and healthy though he is now- he is still raggedy in death as he was in life.]

Video

[la_matrona]

You would get torn apart by a mouse. [she's used to the raggedy. Though remembering-- Only she wasn't going to remember, was she? No the past was dead and he had nothing to do with her except being an idiota she knew]

Don't undo your friend's hard work by being careless.

Re: Video

[micancion]

Ay, hey! I can handle a bull! Look at me!

[Yeah, still as skinny looking as a wet chicken.]

Oh, no, he...did a lot.

video

[maskedsmile]

A-Are you okay, Hec--- sir? What do you mean about "tape?" Did someone hurt you?

Re: video

[micancion]

Shi! Ah, no, no, mijo, it's fine. Just, you know, old bones?

[he gives him a close look at his ulna.]

See? Heh, even when you're dead you need to watch where you step.

[maskedsmile]

Yoshiya. I don't know anyone named Shi. [Worst Liar Award goes to: this kid.]

I'm sorry you got hurt... I guess you can't drink milk like that, huh? Or take calcium pills...

[micancion]

Aw, but I was just getting the hang of saying Shi.

[Yeah. He totally believes you, kid.]

I can drink and eat but being able to get that stuff. Eh, little harder. But thanks, I'm alright now. Better than alright!

[spacepeterpan]

Blimey, congratulations, that is nice, whose work was that?

[Now that he's seen it, he might be thinking about what his screwdriver could hypothetically do for bone knitting. You know, as screwdrivers do.]

[micancion]

[Blimey? oh..that...that actually sounded pretty adorable. Hector grins a bit adn rubs the back of his hair.]

Ah, my Jefe, er boss. Shade. He's pretty amazing even if he does seem kinda grumpy.

[Yes, he knows Shade can see this, but eh, no one said Hector was going to behave.]

[spacepeterpan]

Shade, really, don't believe I've had the pleasure, well, maybe pleasure.

[You're the one who called him grumpy, Hector.]

Definitely glad to see you're settling in so well, though, seeming a bit more lively, too, well... not actually, of course.

[micancion]

Ha, he's not so bad, just like anyone else, si? Don't get on his bad side, mind your manners. Like that!

[He laughs rather loudly at that.]

I am pretty lively for a dead guy, amigo!

video;private

[deaths_head]

[...is that a smile? THAT IS A SMILE, and a big one, too.]

Lookin' like a million bucks, hermano. If you want, I can speed it up a little. I can even give you back flesh if you're interested, all you gotta do is ask.

Re: video;private

[micancion]

[Shade can smile! Hector has done a miracle!]

Ah! Ha, no, no, I'm...actually, I don't think I want to be flesh-y again? It's been ninety-five years? I'm kinda used to this! And really, Jefe, you've done so much already!

Re: video;private

[deaths_head]

We'll leave off the flesh, then--but you pipe down, no such thing as too much between friends. I tell you what, if you don't feel it's altogether fair, I'll ask a favor in trade: point me at a few good watering holes. Even a dead man needs a place to drink in peace now 'n again.

[...and maybe take a date. Except the Shade does not date. And he has no need for women. Especially pain in the ass little brunettes with the power to make his heart beat.

Nope.]

[video]

[chief_of_staff]

[He isn't surprised at all by the talking skeleton. Honestly, he's happy to see this guy is, well, happy! He doesn't even know him, but he can appreciate the glow you get when you see someone who is doing well.]

Someone here fixed you up? That's really interesting. Who was it?

Re: [video]

[micancion]

Si! Ah, Shade. Ha, but I'm just glad I can move around without, you know, tripping over pieces of me!

[video]

[chief_of_staff]

I don't know who Shade is, but I'm glad you can move around without issue, too.

Can I ask how you were broken in the first place?

[ Video ]

[k2so]

You do look much better than before.[ For a skeleton, that's it. ] How did this happen? Someone could heal you or...?

Re: [ Video ]

[micancion]

[He's very handsome for a skeleton!]

Si, well, sort of? Where I'm from skeletons can heal if they're well remembered. But here, someone helped me sort of skip that.

[And he has been staring the entire time. Because, really, what is a robot to a man from rural Mexico in 1920?]

[ Video ]

[k2so]

[Can't argue with that.]

I've never heard of that kind of healing before, interesting. Glad you are feeling better.

[A handsome robor man too!]

...take a picture, it will last longer.
