…Is this suggesting we play some of that drivel from the 1980s?
(As Bill mutters, William decides to address the unseen requester directly.)
While my father is rather… stuck in his ways… when it comes to music, I believe I can fulfill your request by myself,
(William leaves the request room for a minute or two, then comes out with a banjo noisily recreating the song’s opening. In his most Springtrap-like voice yet, he charges into the first verse:)
If you like to gamble,
I tell you I'm your man!
You win some, lose some—
it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play,
it makes no difference what you say—
I don't share your greed,
the only card I need is
The Ace of Spades!
The Ace of Spades—
(Bill whacks him on the head with a songbook. William’s banjo playing winds to a halt.)
Thank you for your request, but I can only allow so much noise on my “blog”.

" Ah, that's damn cute you thinkin' you ever stood a chance against the wonder that is my handsome self! But Of course i can't just unleash a weapon like that without considering the obvious consequences... so i must decline for the well being of everyone present "
you ever think about how deuce and ace rode bike, bus, and train just to get to night raven college after yuu sent an "sos" from their phone?
you ever think about how sebek saved epel's life in the harveston event without a moment's hesitation, even when he knew it might lose them the whole race?
you ever think about how all ortho needs to feel like things are going to be okay again is being surrounded by his fellow freshmen in the fairy gala remix event?
you ever think about how jack came to help ortho out of his funk in the fairy gala remix event? the same person who, days before, was entirely willing to let night raven college freeze to death? the same person who decided to help ace and deuce from their eternal, fishy servitude to octavinelle when there was nothing in it for him?
you ever think about how the first-years were the first ones to embrace ortho after he became a student?
you ever think about how deuce only entered into the sdc auditions because he thought someone needed to look out for epel?
you ever think about how ace was the first person willing to stand up to vil for epel since coming to night raven college?
you ever think about how yuu is always willing to help the first-years, no coercion from crowley required?
you ever think about how much the first-years care about each other, even if they don't know how to say that?
(you ever think about how they're still night raven college students, no matter how much they care? how they'd probably just let the world burn if it meant they'd survive, but they'll still look out for each other even if the world reeks of gasoline?)
