Show and Tell, Tuesday, Period Two
Okay, Sparkle was looking mildly disgruntled when he showed up for class today. He'd messaged the students asking them to think of some music to share this week. That part had gone just fine. But no matter how many times he tried to rehearse his lecture for today, it came out sounding... flat. Not terribly enthusiastic. And for a guy who used enthusiasm as a cover for a lot of things he'd rather not talk about, the island's shenanigans today left him feeling weirdly naked.
"So, uh, today we're sharing music," he said, trying to make up for his near deadpan with a wry smile. "Some song that's really meant a lot to us, or something we heard a lot when we were kids, or that we wrote ourselves, or just something you heard on the radio and thought was fun. Like, I brought in Hello, Dolly, because-- ah, shit. I just made a lot of memories to that song, for better or worse."
While drunk. And crying on some old woman's floor. Details.
"But also because I just shamelessly love musicals. They're fun, and theatre folks just get... things."
This was really hard without the ability to put emphasis on anything, for the record.
"Here, look, I'll just play the song, it's the Carol Channing version because she did it first, though there have been a bunch of great versions since, and then you guys can go."
Hopefully Carol wouldn't come out of the speaker sounding flat, too.

Re: Show and Tell
"I have no idea. Maybe it depends on the lizard."
Re: Show and Tell
"I... might have to look into that."
Not that he suspected he could play with a lizard quite the same way as a cat or a dog, but it'd still be neat, and a little more portable than a betta.
Re: Show and Tell
He could play with a lizard in an excitingly different way from a cat or a dog maybe.
"I can ask Fluttershy for you if you want. She knows all about all the animals."
That second all should have had some sort of emphasis on it. Just for comprehensibility.
Ah well.
Re: Show and Tell
"Could you please? I'm actually super interested, no matter how completely bored I sound right now, I promise."
He just wanted to put some stress on something, dammit.
Re: Show and Tell
"Okidokiloki." At least Pinkie could still get some Pinkie-isms out. "I'll text her right away."
Re: Show and Tell
"Awesome."
Sparkle actually meant that. Seriously. He did.
"Thanks, Pinkie."
