MAKE A WISH; VIDEO

[demonsional]

[Things have been very weird. There have been a lot of kids? Suddenly? Some of the kids are his friends but they don't remember him? It's weird! Hayden has no idea. What he does know is that he's "do everything for Hope" quest never sleeps. So he's posting a new video waving around an empty jar.

Some former squad members may recognize this as the selfsame mud jar. But it's clean now. Thank God.]

This is my wish jar! Please I am hoping to fill it with wishes for Mister Lord--I mean--I mean--

[He hesitates, practically choking as he stammers in confusion.]

For Hope.

[The sudden lack of titles makes him look very guilty and uncomfortable and he loses his enthusiasm, if only for a second. Then he snaps back to attention.]

I am going to give him many happy things and it will be from all of us and then he will feel better so please tell me all of your wishes and they can be whispered into the jar and they will make him feel much better!

[He's kind of stuck on a repetitive loop here but he's hardly noticed. He just shakes the jar even more.]

Wishes! Please! Thank you!

I wish for Matt to return to me. If I can't have that, then I wish to join him in his world.

[demonsional]

[Oh.]

I think you will definitely see him again! For sure!

[He doesn't know anything about romantic relationships in general and certainly not much about specific relationships within Hadriel, but he does know that good things happen to good people. Bad things do not happen to good people! That wouldn't ever make sense!]

And you will both be really super happy forever!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she manages a small smile at him]

I certainly do hope so. Does that help in your mission for Hope?

[danseur]

Uh-

[ goddammit morgan don't rain on a kid's parade. ]

Not so sure wishes work like that.

[demonsional]

False.

[An incredible comeback.]

There is no rulebook on miracles!

[Wait...is there? The thought is shocking, honestly.]

[danseur]

There are rulebooks on forks. No way there isn't at least one on miracles.

[ he pauses, then shakes his head. ]

Ignore me, I'm being a jerk. How many you got so far?

[You're going to wish for happy things for Hope? For the sake of hope? This is right up Komaeda's street!]

What a wonderful idea!

[Does Komaeda have his own wishes? Yes but saying them would be too presumptuous. So he's going to do it differently]

I wish to help all the symbols of hope here do their very best and enable their hopes to shine so brilliantly they bring despair to its knees!

[demonsional]

[Look at all these people who think he is doing a great and amazing thing?! Hayden is so happy! He's never been happier! Well, about one of his ideas, anyway. He would be much happier if Hope didn't need to be healed in the first place.]

Thank you! Thank you! That's the best and you're the best! We can be a team of hope collectors!

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Ahahahaha I wouldn't call myself the best, kid. However, I'm sure with everyone's powers combined together, a massive, all-powerful wave of hope can be created and crush any despair in its way!

[Although Komaeda's idea of hope might be less innocent than Hayden's.]

[This is...very cute and Girl's having a hard time keeping the smile out of her voice.]

So we can't whisper them in ourselves? You gonna keep 'em secret if we tell you?

[demonsional]

I am very good at keeping secrets!

[Allegedly. But, I mean, how much can he really be trusted to keep his mouth shut when he seems to have a trouble with stream of consciousness?]

You can whisper them in yourself if you want, though! I can come right to you! Where are you? I will go there!

[Video]

[imhisaunt]

That is a lovely idea, Hayden.

Um. Can it be any wish?

[demonsional]

You like it? I'm so happy! I want to do a good job!

[He nods emphatically, to the point that he's probably made himself at least a little dizzy.]

Of course! There is no such thing as a bad wish as long as the wish comes from the heart!

[hasitsthorns]

I wish for a puppy. Or, like, just some dog companions. A lot of people here could really use them.

[demonsional]

Yes! That's an amazing wish and I love it! Five thousand puppies!

[Hayden's enough of a puppy himself he probably shouldn't be trusted with one but...]

[ghostlocked]

[It's times like this when Harlan has a hard time conceptualizing that Hayden is technically a demon.]

That's sweet of you, dude. Did you put your own wishes in there too?

[demonsional]

Yes! Of course! I put them in first so I do this--

[Here, he shakes the jar.]

--so that they don't get stuck on the bottom!

[audio]

[onlyanautomaton]

I am sure that Mr. Hope will appreciate this gesture.

[demonsional]

[Boy, Hayden sure is glad that everyone seems to think this is a good idea! He was afraid, maybe a little bit, that he would just get made fun of. Instead, he's all bouncy with renewed enthusiasm.]

I can't wait to give it to him! And he will know that we are all thinking of him and that we have so many things to look forward to in the future when he gets better and this will help him get better and then he will be better!

[A mouthful.]

[knifecollecting]

[Jo smiles softly. He's very enthusiastic, isn't he?]

Any wish?

[demonsional]

Any wish at all! All wishes are good and also welcome!

[He is not against any kind of wish unless maybe it is very violent.]

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Julie doesn't have any wishes - at least, not any she wants to say out loud - but this is... very sweet.]

... I hope this works the way you want it to.

[demonsional]

I do too! I think it will be good because I believe it will be good and that is what is important is believing!

[Exactly.]

[sciencelizard]

[Oh. Oh no this is cute.]

Are you looking for wishes for, uhm, Hope to g-get better? Or just... nice things so Hope gets power?

[demonsional]

[The shift to panic on his face is abrupt. There's...there's a difference? Clearly, if there is, he doesn't quite understand. So he hesitates before he gives an answer.]

Both?
