[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!]

[alsdhfsd he jumps a bit]

--ow! [he blinks] Ah, well...it seems I, ah...remember certain things. About the, ah...well, the ability to see outside of my show.

What the fuck!

Are you all magic?

Only through friendship.

[DEAD SERIOUS hey guess what it learned from Discord in Deadland!]

[...] Not wrong.

This is no fair, whys everyone else get cool magic, and I'm just-- [Just... She smiles.]

Nevermind. None of you can do what I can.

If you want magic, you can always just ask.

...That's a thing?

Once I can change reality again, oh yes, absolutely. You could even take some chaos powers for a spin.

[farrah is like the one person he trusts with those tbh]

How about something less dangerous? [But that requires going to wizard school...]

No one asked you.

[his expression softens]

Very true. No one is quite like you, Farrah.

Just you wait. I didn't think I'd ever be ready to do it again, but...

When I was young and unafraid
I'd draw a line in the sand just to cross it
I'd fall just to feel alive
I knew I would be alright
I wanna fall just to feel alive

I just wanna--
I just wanna fly.

[there's something that swells in his chest at that, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he smiles]

I'm looking forward to that. To seeing you fly.

I don't know! I didn't remember until we were about to start playing.

You were conducting reality, I'm surprised that's all that happened.

[lksdflksd]

Yes, well, that turned out even better in the performance than in the dress rehearsal, to my credit. But I'll probably need far more practice with them.

You were still bleeding either way.

Maybe dial it back juuust a little.

Much less this time, but...yes. No major performances with that until I've built up more of an endurance. [he's still gonna futz with them, tho]

Dad! [Which one? Who knows. But she's delighted, both ways.]

What?

[Spongebob gasps, overdramatically.]

So you can see the sound guy and the lovely audience too?!

[....ah]

I...I can, yes. It's less a sound guy and more a band, at least in the first show when I had shorter hair--

[He's gushing; absolutely giddy that he and his father share a power.]

Oh I love the band! They always play such great music and I love them!

They do play great music. Granted, I'd have no music at all without them.
