VEZ: Okay, we're booked for the <i>Float the Vote Festival</i> at Erosion.
FERN: Erosion? Is that the cave club? I'd love to rock a cave! (laughs)
MICAH: I hate to endorse any pun, but yeah. The acoustics are perfect.
FERN: And it's on the water so the whales can come to the show!
SKYLER: Pretty sure that's the "Float" part of the Festival.
VEZ: Anyway, voting rights for whales is a step toward global equality.
MICAH: And whales will make better choices than humans do. They should get to vote.
SKYLER: They will. No one is trying to stop it. So... our song will be a sure hit!
+ VEZ: Nothing's a sure thing, Skyler.
SKYLER: You're the band's black cloud now?
VEZ: I'm not being negative. Just a friendly reminder that you can't phone this in.
VEZ: Every song matters, even if the issue has support.
SKYLER: I NEVER phone it in! I'm 100% ON STAGE all the time!
FERN: (whispers to Micah) Does Skyler not know what "phone in" means?
MICAH: (whispers back) Nope.
VEZ: Oh please, Skyler, you still think your presence is enough? You haven't changed a bit. //This but write it better.
FERN: Please don't fight! //??
+ FERN: We'll be stars!
MICAH: Oh, Fern, there's no "we" with Skyler.
SKYLER: ...tells Micah she's changed...
VEZ: ...wants to see proof... is genuinely hoping Skyler has changed, hence agreeing to have Skyler in the band.
SKYLER CHOICE? Respond with grace? Or bitterly?

FERN recognizes that Vez is singing in Whaleish and is super impressed!
- else:
Everyone thinks it sounds pretty good, especially Skyler, but Fern timidly mentions that they heard Vez singing in Whaleish, and thinks Whaleish should be in the lyrics. The whales would love it!
}
SKYLER: Woah. That feels like a big risk for our first song.
SKYLER: Most people can't understand Whaleish.
FERN... but they should learn! The Whales shouldn’t have to assimilate to vote.
AKAI knows his vote doesn't count, but he advocates for Whaleish anyway, b/c humans shouldn’t always force other beings to assimilate.
VEZ That may be true, but inclusion requires speaking a common language, and the Whales already understand our human language.
MICAH hates to agree with Skyler, but he is concerned that humans making the decisions can use the Whaleish lyrics as an excuse to not understand the message.
BASSIST: But Whales don't need to hear this message. Humans do.
BASSIST: Humans don't even listen to human voices. They'll tune out Whaleish completely.
VEZ can go either way; they're reluctant to sing Whaleish on stage in front of 100s of people, but knows they should do it for the whales.
SKYLER argues for NO Whaleish because people might think it's a gimmick.
SINGER: You don't think I can do it?
SKYLER: Hey, if anyone can do it, it's you. But people might call it a gimmick.
/// KEYS advocates for Whaleish lyrics - they'd make a SPLASH! - not sure if you meant to have this duplication
FERN: Sing it in Whale! That would make such a SPLASH! Haha!
MICAH: I hope that's the last pun we get from Fern. I almost laughed. #THOUGHT
SKYLER: Yeah. That, too. Whaleish might confuse them.
VEZ: So, are we changing the song? Or going with what we've got?
Should we change the song?
