"Did you bring songs from Outer Space?" Poncle asked.

Janken looked down at her. "I brought lots of songs," he told her with a smile. "Want one?"

Both children chorused, "Yeah!"

Janken knelt and said, "Open my backpack and get my sweet potato."

Sage undid the fastens and took out a ceramic flute shaped like its namesake, with two rows of three holes, side by side, on the top. She handed it to Janken. He blew into the mouthpiece on top and covered the holes with fingers to play a short introduction. Then he handed the flute back to Sage, who continued the tune, and began singing,
"We come from the fire, living in the fire,
Go back to the fire, turn the world around."
Poncle began clapping percussion. Gobo joined in with his gourd guitar. Janken continued singing about the people of the water and the mountain. As he did the others picked up on the pattern of the lyrics and joined in. Even Sprocket, prancing bouncily, arfed along with them.

Here's a picture I've been wanting to paint up since I drew the original doodle over a year ago. I finally got the momentum to do it, and here's the final. I thought my arm would fall off before I finished texturing Sprocket's fur.

Left to right: Sprocket, Gobo, Poncle, Janken, and Sage. The last three are my OCs.
