Alison Blaire/Dazzler | Marvel Comics

[To those musically-inclined students, you have a new teacher! Sure, she's dressed casually with an old-school rock band t-shirt and flared jeans but damn she wears them well. She waves to the camera with a big smile.]

Hiya, kids! I'm Alison Blaire, but you can call me Miss Blaire, or Miss Ali if you prefer. The X-Gang asked me to come aboard because I heard a lot of you were into music but had no real direction. Well guess what? I'm changing all of that.

[Just watch her sparkle with joy. Literally. She's like a disco ball.]

You kids better pull out your instruments and vinyl because we're gonna GO FOR IT.

[Action]

[Alison's no stranger to the mansion. She's been here on occasion, so she knows her way around for the most part. The music room was kind of new since it was renovated since the last time she was here. She puts down her bags and immediately begins to set up one of her turntables. Within minutes, she puts a record in and starts playing Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". As classic disco fills the room, Ali sings along, her powers awakening as a warm, colorful glow.]

[Well, this one has the instrument--the violin case of hers can be seen in the background of the feed--but she has one question.]

... Why vinyl?

[long_live_disco]

Because vinyl's the greatest thing since sliced bread and disco! There's nothing like putting on an LP and letting the music take control.

[She spots the case in the back.]

Is that a violin case?

[markedviolin]

[She nods enthusiastically.] It is!

[long_live_disco]

Well let's hear some tunes, girl!

[She has a soft spot for classical instruments.]

[markedviolin]

All right! [She goes over to the violin case, opening it up and pulling out the instrument and bow. It takes a moment for her to get ready, but soon, she's playing a song that she knows by heart. It's her favorite piece and her expression makes it obvious that this tune is one she enjoys playing.]

[Ali seems genuinely touched by the music. She wipes a tear away when the violinist finishes her song.]

Beautiful!
