as she tends to do during the weekends, yumeno has been putting a live show near the school grounds. both main course and reserve course students are in the audience, and their families too. she’s glad to have the opportunity to spread a few more smiles among them. and the show had been going by without a hitch, too. but she soon notices that they're quieter than usual, especially given that this was a rather specifically risky magical act. for a moment, she pauses in her act and steals a glance at the crowd.
...they’re not paying attention to her.
her movements falter a little, but she finishes the magic first before looking out at the audience properly. since she’s standing on a stage, she does have a pretty good view of the crowd. there’s someone near the center that seems to be the source of the issue. yumeno puffs out her cheeks, annoyed by the behavior of the crowd.
but while she’s not a genius, yumeno can have plans sometimes. not great ones, of course, but they tend to work. if that person is gonna take the crowd’s eyes off her, may as well make them useful for the performance. she raises her voice to carry over the hubbub.
“but for my next feat... i’ll need a member from the audience.“
her wand slips into her hand as she points at the source of the commotion, accentuating the movement.
“and you, in the green— you’ve been chosen to partake.“
