[It's a pleasant afternoon in the garden. Maybe not emotionally, but physically - isn't it nice when you get to have class outside?

As your voices rise, singing defiance in unison out for the Wizard, there's no immediate response; at least, nothing that clearly is a response. But there's something. Amidst the sound of your song, it may be hard to hear at first; Janis will likely be the first to notice, but eventually everyone is able to hear. It sounds as though other voices are rising along with yours.

There's something on the air - no music, or at least no instrumentals, just a disembodied sort of lyrical chant. You don't recognize any of the voices. They aren't singing the same song as you all are. Maybe they can't; they sound long long ago, and far far away now. Still - despite everything - the trees around you move lightly in a sudden soft breeze. It feels as though you have invoked something, old and entirely beyond your knowledge.

But first. Haven't you forgotten something?

It's Wednesday.

Welcome to this week's school club!]

[ eurydice, who has only been alive now for about 20 minutes and is already so stressed, buries her face in her hands. ]

Please be normal, please be normal --

[Just

puts a hand on her shoulder]

[ in a stunning moment of character development eurydice doesn't flinch! instead she mumbles, deadpan: ]

Thanks.

I don't think anything is ever going to be normal again, Eurydice.

[ honestly has anything been normal since she met him? no. ]

[ HE MAY BE RIGHT but eurydice is still going to sigh like she is 80 years old ]

He's so loud. Why is he so loud.

They said he's a demon. Do you know what a demon is? Maybe that's why he smells, um. Like that. ]

I've smelled worse on the -- [ actually, you know what? no, she hasn't smelled worse on the road. another sigh. ] -- no idea. Hopefully he'll wash up before Connor's wedding.

Something tells me we left normal behind long ago and we're never getting it back.

[ ...yeah, ]

[this keeps happening to you eurydice i'm so sorry]

He's not.

Don't eat anything before you get on the bus.

[ oh, well that's just great ]

...I haven't eaten anything in a few days, so. [ you know, because of the whole being dead thing. she sighs ] I guess that's fine.

I'm really normal, though!

[jeremy you put a supercomputer in your brain instead of going to therapy]

In a bad way! [... she's still a heather, underneath it all]

Okay, rude! Just because I asked you for strawberry syrup one time doesn't mean you get to judge my life choices.

[ eurydice returns the thumbs up but does not look convinced!! ]

Are you? I guess that’s good?

Someone had to be the, like, normal one on that bus. I couldn't let you think we're all crazy.

Oh good! [ says Orpheus, brightly, from next to Eurydice. ] Hi! I'm Orpheus.

[Jeremy thinks for a moment.]

Like, the comics character? [No, Jeremy.] Oh! I mean, I'm Jeremy! We came because, uh. You guys also have a SQUIP?

[In Curtains? No way!]

[ she just needs a nap ]

[Good news! She can nap on the bus- sorry about the smell. There's gonna be a lot of animals and also Beetlejuice.]

Sorry, normal doesn't really happen with this lot.

[ okay, finally!! someone who gives off an air of knowing what the fuck they're doing!! ]

You know these people well?

[Sigyn nods.]

Yeah, was in the last one of these shit shows. BJ and Jeremy were there too.

[She offers her hand for a shake.]

Name's Sigyn.
