Title: one of many wishes

Rating/Warnings: PG / (Mild) Spoilers for Act 5 of In Stars and Time
Bonus: Yes.
Word Count: 960
Summary: Siffirin makes good on something they told Isabeau in a past loop, wanting to try something new after everything. With his family, Siffirin embarks on their first opening night of the Comet Show in Dormont.
---
"I've got a secret.. I've always wanted to be a clothing designer! So maybe I could just take an apprenticeship somewhere...!"
"That sound great, Isa." They had smiled, a small, encouraging smile.
"Heh.. I'd knew you'd approve! What about you, Sif?"
He'd smiled a little wider. "Start a comedy club."
"Wait, really? Are you serious?"
"Yes, absolutely." They stuck their tongue out at Isabeau at the time, the first time.
--
They adjust their outfit, the idle sensation drawing them out of these old memories. They breathe in.. and out. There's faint murmurs behind the other end of the curtain.
(Huh. You didn't think you'd ever be comfortable with the stage as a performer, after the New Incident a couple months ago in Dormont. Let alone, in front of the people you scared within that two-day period of time.)
(But this costume feels lightweight. Like your usual cloak, and the hat you lost.)
Isabeau's hands are careful, still, in adjusting the lightly shaded ribbons tied atop his gloves. They're new gloves, but they're especially made to boost Paper Craft, and the rest of the outfit is fairly close to what he wore in the quest to stop the King. However, there is Craft woven in every thread, making their outfit shimmer with the appearance of stars. The gloves, too, have this slight glitter to them..
(Not unlike the gloves you gave him the fourth major time around, texture-wise. But yours are made thinner. Slightly Crafted differently, like everything else, with the help of Odile.)
They breathe in, and out.
"You've got this, Sif!" Isabeau says excitedly, doing a goofy pose and grinning. "Isn't that right, guys?"
"WOOO!" cheers a small child from the back. "YOU CAN DO IT FRIN!!"
(You're surprised Bonnie was allowed to come do this with you. Though maybe the chance to make the audience some snacks in the intermission convinced them.)
Two women closer to Isabeau - one closer to Isabeau's age, the other at least two decades ahead of that - nod with slightly more muted enthusiasm, but with similar supportive expressions toward the person of the hour.
(Mirabelle has helped get the help of some animals for you.. and Odile is providing some Craft effects while you wow the crowd with your wordplay.)
(At least that's the plan.)
"..Siffrin, are you still feeling confident?" Odile questions, holding a book about magic shows in her arms, whilst Mirabelle gives little treats to a sleepy rabbit and equally sleepy Vauguardian birds to get them energized in the meantime.
Siffrin nods, as if to reassure Odile, and he looks to Isabeau. "Is the costume looking alright..? I don't want to mess it up."
"You look great, Sif," Isabeau reassures, in his usual loud voice. "I believe in you, and I'm sure everyone else does too!"
Mirabelle nods, smiling. "Y-yeah! You bet we do! Let's get the big top hat ready for the first act!"
(You still feel anxious to show your face like this.. but comedic Craft is someone you don't see often outside of the plays you adore from Poteria.)
(And not in the application you're about to try, but you enjoy sleight of hand, and your puns.)
(At least this is no solo act.)
(But how were you going to justify leaving your family out of this? Never.)
The spotlights are snuffed out, then moving and falling on a large hat set on the floor of the stage. Off to the side, some musically talented people begin Crafting some music fitting for the show. Playing an anticipatory tune, and using a little bit of their Scissors Craft, Siffirin splits apart the the big hat they've been hiding in, carefully holding the structurally sound and hollow hat with the small animals within. Glittering remnants of their Craft usage falls down around his face as he grins at the surprised audience.
"Welcome, fair visitors, to our traveling Comet Show!" Siffrin greets, and they smile when some clapping ensues. After a second, they continue. "I'm Siffrin, and tonight, myself and my dear family will dazzle you!"
He indicates Isabeau, who waves, and Odile, who smirks and dips her head from her side of the stage. More clapping, which quiets soon after.
He taps his hat once, then twice, and lowers it to the floor, brim-up, and with its slight wavy brim, the hat hides its secrets.
"Now.. Watch this! It'll be a hoot..!"
Siffirin kneels in front of the hat, long enough to free the little birds inside. They tweet and fly backstage, a few feathers onto the floor.
There's a few small gasps scattered across the audience, so Siffirin chuckles, with some practice, and they laugh with one of their hands close by to their face. "Oh, you quack me up, for sure! I'll admit, that last one was a little hare-brained. Let's try that again, shall we?"
They tap the hat again, and tip the hat over onto the ground. The rabbit from before hops on out, wrinkling its tiny nose, and it too hops off stage, back to Mirabelle. Another bird also pops on out, tweeting sweetly, and "aww"s fill the audience.
"Oops.. Un-bun-lievable, I thought there was more in here..." he fake-groans, tipping the hat over. Sif taps the hat one last time, and as planned, confetti and Crafted bits of glitter fall out onto their bare head, decorating their hair. "There we go! Should be all of it, tee-hee~!"
Some respectable clapping once more ensues, though louder this time, while Isabeau and Odile wait at the sides for their part.
(You are excited for the next act, grinning like you are and blepping to the audience.)
(This is only the beginning, after all!)
(Thus, you send the signal to your friends..)
(And your act continues on.)

Siffrin here is described in that (canonly might I add!) as a funnyjokesperson. I thought that might sorta fit for the prompt given how magic works in the world of In Stars and Time, hehe! Lends itself real well to the setup I tried.
