- Start small, you’re still learning.
- Bacteria and microorganisms are small. Science says so.
- Alright, close your eyes.
- ZAP!
- There? You see any?
- No?
- Congratulations!
- Let’s get to some harder stuff. Still small though.
- Birds are small.
- Go find one.
- No, not a robin, I like those.
- That jay will do.
- Look close, closer.
- You closed your eyes last time?
- Oh, well… Do that.
- ZAP!
- Did it work?
- Well, that’s a shame.
- Close your eyes again, not for invisible stuff, but just because.
- One more minute.
- Alright, open up.
- It’s gone!
- No, I didn’t just wait for it to fly away. I’m your teacher. There needs to be a mutual respect and trust or else why are we even trying.
- Wait,
- I didn’t mean it like that…
- You don’t have to…
- OK, next lesson.
- Making tears invisible shouldn’t be hard.
- Close your eyes.
- ZAP!
- There, all better?
- Time to move on!
- How about we test your powers out on a person?
- Pro tip: Turning someone invisible just before they go through a door vastly increases chance of success.
- Alright, pick someone.
- Not that guy, his muscles are too big. You don’t want to turn that much mass invisible, trust me.
- Also the tattoos suggest that he wouldn’t be amused.
- Yes, that other guy is perfect, thanks for picking him and not with the scars and shifty eyes over there.
- I didn’t mean anything by that.
- Quick! Turn him invisible.
- ZAP!
- I must confess, that was expertly done.
- Wait, you’re saying that you had your eyes open?
- And the guy just walked into a building?
- That’s just preposterous.
- Time for your final challenge.
- Turning yourself invisible.
- Do it outside. You’ll never know if it actually worked if people aren’t there to watch you.
- This street seems busy enough.
- Stop shivering and look composed. You’re a dignified Invisigician.
- I don’t care if it’s cold, what will people think when they see floating clothes in the middle of the downtown area?
- OK, close your eyes this time.
- ZAP!
- Did it work?
- Take a peek.
- Shoot, close your eyes and try again, fast!
- ZAP!
- No?
- ZAP!
- No!
- ZAP!
- Shux. Dagnabbit.
- Apologize to that nice woman for traumatizing her children.
- No! Don’t go up to her! Do it later when you have clothes on!
- Oh crud, I bet those red and blue lights are probably for you.
- Crunch time! Let’s do this!
- ZAP!
- Yeah, nope. Didn’t think so, but hey, don’t worry. There are worse offenses than public indecency.
- Although once you explain what you were trying to do, they’ll probably put you away regardless.
- Hey, congratulations!
- You can now turn yourself invisible with your mind!
- No one’s going to see you for a long time.
