"Crazy hardlight magic." Shari laughs. "Okay, just gather up all the best Saxomophone Jazz you can find. I need to make a couple more additions." she says, climbing back down from the tank and grabbing a duffel-bag she fetched while Natalie was assembling the tank. She upends it and out tumble a couple of books, mostly on Jazz specifically but some on southern US history, music theory and history. There's some loose sheet music in there as well that she probably grabbed willy-nilly from the music room as well as a cellophane wrapped bundle of definitely-not-oregano.
She starts taping the sheet music to the outside of the tank in a pattern that must be deliberate but seems random to Natalie. Occasionally she adds pages she tears from the books (good thing Basil's not around to see what she's doing to library property), particularly ones that have pictures of Jazz musicians on them. She only stops once she's pretty much enveloped the whole tank in at least two layers of paper and then starts tearing up the remaining books and pages, creating a pile that she sprinkles generous helpings of the Devil's Lettuce into, adding some of the liquid in the tank to mush it all together into a thick paste.
