[Oh god it's one of those posts where Santana is smiling. This can only end well]

I've put it off for long enough but it's about time for me to start teaching a class. Technically I should have started it round 1 but [she waves a hand dismissively] since I'm 18 I don't really need to teach. Except all the other classes are really boring, I'm sure all you teachers will miss me dearly.

This is just a warning, get read to learn how to cheer, with a side of gymnastics, of course. I'll be sure to whip you all into shape, god knows you need it.

[she pauses for a moment to look around her room as she considers her next words]

Would anyone be interested in making a glee club? Can anyone besides me even sing?

If it's an inter-school glee club, I rap.

[ Helping. ]

[ She smiles. ]

I can sing, a little bit. I could get better at it.

[straightupzorra]

You any good?

[she knows not to judge. Artie was good at rapping and he was a nerdy white kid in a wheelchair]

Sing something for me, if I know what you can do and what notes you can reach already then we can work on... anything else.

[fracturedsoul]

Sure am.

[straightupzorra]

Show me what you got.

Gymnastics? Like flips and jumps and stuff?

[She loves that kind of stuff.]

Sometimes I like to sing along to music from my favorite shows, but I don't know if I'm any good.

[Pause.]

Are you a teacher at Conquest? 'Cause otherwise I can't join anything.

[straightupzorra]

Yes Jade, like flips and stuff. And you know I'm in Conquest.

[wait. hold on a second.]

Another Jade? Really? Jade, ghost-dog Jade, and now dog-Jade. Wonderful.

[witchofspace]

Please call me Harley. Being called Jade like everyone keeps doing gives me a headache.

[She just smiles.]

Jade is from another timeline than Jadesprite and I.

[overbiterestart]

I can sing, I guess. I mean this sounds something like choir, right?

video

[straightupzorra]

Okay Harley, besides the timeline difference and the dog ears, what makes you different?

Also, let me hear you sing.

[straightupzorra]

It's a bit gayer than choir but that's about the gist of it.

Sing something.

I'm from the alpha timeline of where we come from. I dunno where her timeline shoots off, because I think she doesn't want to talk to me, but the main difference that I know of at least is that I got to the end of the Game, and she didn't.

[She also is more developed, taller, and healthier. Poor undernourished doomed timeline baby ;__;]

I think I'm older than her, but I'm not sure.

[For the singing demonstration, you get a peppy and adorable rendition of the Squiddles opening theme. Harley obviously isn't the best singer, her only experience being singing in her hairbrush, but she could definitely do well with some training and guidance.
Hardly Rachel Berry star quality, though.]

[overbiterestart]

[Well okay, but she is a little nervous. When she does sing though, it sounds a little like this ! She's definitely an alto or something.]

video

[greenspaces]

Oh...okay.

[ Jade doesn't know a lot of modern songs, so out comes a catchy refrain from the early days of Broadway. Her voice is no star quality belt, but she can carry a tune and has a clear sound, if a little small. Think adorable Disney princess. ]

Hmm, you're not horrible. How often do you sing?

[straightupzorra]

You definitely have potential, how often do you sing?

[she's a bit quieter, she has memories attached with this song]

[overbiterestart]

I don't normally sing, but I'd be glad to start singing more? I also play piano if you need a pianist for anything!

[Oh did she touch a nerve without knowing? Oh sob.]

[Santana thinks about it for a moment]

You look healthier than her, she's even been here for a while and becoming healthier and you still look better. Just, don't make things difficult for her, I'm sure she feels inadequate enough.

Yeah, you need some work. What the hell even was that song.

video

[greenspaces]

Not a lot. I used to sing to my plants at home, but I only sing to Dave here. I could start singing more, though.

[straightupzorra]

You need to strengthen your vocal cords, sing a bit every day at least. Do you have more practice on the piano than you do singing?

[they sang that back home once, she's just a bit homesick is all]

video

[straightupzorra]

Of course you sang to your plants, I'm surprised you're not singing to the shadows in the tower. Start singing more, it'll strengthen your vocal cords.

I tried being friendly to her, but I think she just wants to be left alone for now.

It was the theme song from my favorite cartoon! Do you want to hear something else? Oh! And if you ever need someone to play guitar, I can do that. Mostly bass.

[overbiterestart]

Poppop taught me when I was a little girl, so I certainly have more practice on a piano than I do singing.

[Smile.] Just find me a piano, and I'd be glad to play something.

[straightupzorra]

She'll probably warm up to you once she realizes you're not replacing her.

[Yup, Santana knows Sade-Jade]

The theme song, god you two are similar. Fine, sing something else if you want. Can you play and sing at the same time? We could probably train you on that, we did teach Finn to walk and talk at the same time.
