[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!]

[yep. There are two of them.]

I think I already get why Maya likes you so much.

[the counter’s hopeful click just got louder]

[fourbutts]

[ she just cant stop getting flustered around girls rip janis this is what you get for giving up on dating for like five years it makes you vulnerable to THE FRENCH AND FRENCH ASSOCIATES ]

I swear I'm usually cooler than this.

[comeandfindme]

Don't lie to her.

[fourbutts]

[ A small pleading look aside from where she is FALLING FOR CLAUDINE SAIJO, DO YOU MIND ]

[mayavericks]

Now you understand what I have been living with

[etincelledefierte]

I swear I am not normally -

[She shakes her head. NO LYING, CLAUDINE.]

- some days are better than others. This is one of them, even if I did get a year shaved off my life thanks to BJ’s godawful driving. Buses are not supposed to be roller coasters!

[fourbutts]

You know, cosmically he has the same aura as my high school's bus driver. [ which is said in the very unique tone befitting discussion of that specific bus driver ] So yeah, I'm betting that's not a five-star experience.

[etincelledefierte]

To say he’s chaotic is the understatement of the century. I’m pretty sure we bounced off a tree or five.

But he’s not all bad. He helped us out of a really bad situation back in our game. Who knew that learning to possess things as a ghost would help get us back from the dead?

[If her narrator senses are tingling, Janis will absolutely know what Claudine is getting at. It was rough.]

[fourbutts]

[ she uh. can imagine the feeling well enough. ]

I mean... there are definitely worse teachers for how to haunt things than Beetlejuice. As long as he wasn't, uh— he didn't try to marry any of you, did he?

[etincelledefierte]

[Frantically shaking her head.]

No. Pardon my language, but fuck no. That’s a line I don’t even want to think about crossing.

[fourbutts]

[ FRENCH MAYA WHO SAYS FUCK..... INCREDIBLE ]

Okay, good, just like. That's a thing he has done at least once, at least in the movie. I forget if the musical is different...

[ She shakes her head. ]

I'd offer to take over, but uh. No license. Don't need one in Chicago.

[etincelledefierte]

I don’t remember offhand, from what I looked up after I got back home.

[Too much on the brain. But she cracks a smile again.]

Don’t worry about that part. I’m pretty sure Sigyn is going to fight him for the keys if he tries to drive again, and she can absolutely take him. She’s extremely level-headed and I would absolutely trust her to get us out of here safely.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine doesn't say anything but she looks very pointedly at Connor. At least someone understands marrying a demon-ghost-dude is a bad idea! ]

[etincelledefierte]

[Claudine looks over at Connor. Really? That’s a bad call if she’s ever seen one.]

Peregrine? Please tell me he’s not thinking about it?

[comeandfindme]

[ An EXASPERATED sigh that. Honestly, an actress like Claudine can probably tell it's somewhat melodramatic, somewhat fake. ]

If you told Connor Murphy to do something, he wouldn't, to be contrary. If you told him not to, it's probably the same principle.
