[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!]

Straight up murder, just me. It’s complicated and I don’t quite understand how it worked, but Spinel changed her form once she was hurt. She turned into a gemstone and tried to heal herself, I think, then someone else finished it.

[Claudine takes a deep breath, steadying herself. For a brief second, she thinks about adding the details that she knows, but it’s not necessary. What was done was done, and the rest of it doesn’t matter now.

She’s glad for the change of subject.]

Sounds about right for the trials. It wouldn’t be one without at least one attempt to derail it. Usually more than one.

[She chuckles.]

Is that right, now? I wish I had been around to hear you get my girlfriend to curse.

…to be fair, I think she’d say the same thing about hearing me drop an f-bomb for the first time.

Not just you --- [...Okay, Claudine clearly knows that, but Farrah's Farrah, so she has to say it, before they totally drop the subject. Farrah smiles a little.]

Less derailing more like--- screaming at her to leave my family alone. And continuously finding out she was right in the first place. It was kindof really fucking annoying? I don't know how you put up with her. Or how any of them do. [Farrah they're all RIGHT THERE can you be nice? ... Oh well. The others all know she can't.]

...But I'm still glad I got to know her. Or... anyone. I'm really glad I had a second chance. I didn't know I wanted one. Even when-- [She falls quiet.]

[Okay, that’s what gets Claudine to full-on laugh, but it isn’t mean.]

That means Maya was being herself. She’s just like that. It’s part of her charm, the exasperating girl.

[said with an affectionate smile. but then Farrah says that, and if she’ll let her, Claudine will give her a hug.]

I’m so, so glad you got that second chance. I get the feeling you’re going to do great.
