"You head north, to the Dark Keep..."
----------
"I really do need to learn how to use this thing," you say, waving the staff. Everyone around you dives for cover just as a bolt of lightning surges forward, lighting a bale of hay on fire. "Oops."
Fortran stands up, eyeing you cautiously as he dusts off his robes. "I agree. You are far more dangerous to your companions right now than you would be to any foe."
Lisa stands as well, patting out a small fire in the hay around her. "So north it is then. I hope you know what you are telling us to do, old man." She says, glaring at Fortran.
"I'm certain it will be alright. None of my apprentices have died while studying there in well over a hundred years."
"What about Mac?"
"Oh, he didn't die... really. He's still about somewhere. I think."
"Yeah, sure." Lisa rubs her temples for a moment, obviously upset by the conversation. "Maybe north is best. It will give us a chance to look for him."
Fortran nods, and leaves the two of you to prepare to leave. Soon you are ready to go, and set out on your adventure. It is a long, hard road to the Dark Keep, and there is little time to waste, though something to occupy your time on the ride might be good.
What do you do?
---Study your book of magic.
---Ask Lisa about who "Mac" is.
---Start singing to yourself. (SPECIAL: If you choose this, pick a song as well. I'll either pick my favorite of the ones recommended, or if there is one that has multiple votes I'll use the one with the most votes.)

Ask Lisa about Mac. It is
Ask Lisa about Mac. It is important to have all the intelligence about a situation you can. Once you have the information, maybe you can study your magic book, or you could sing Henry the Eighth.
"Henry the Eighth I am, I am, Henry the Eigth I am, I got married to the widow next door, she'd been married -7 times before, and every one was a Henry, Never a George nor a Sam, every one was a Henry, Henry the Eighth I am." Then, "Second verse, sing it again. Henry the Eighth I am I am......." on and on and on and on until someone strikes you to shut you up. Hey, better than "10,000 Bottles of Beer on the Wall".

Study the book!
You need to get some control over your abilities-read the manual!

when in trouble, read the instructions.
---Study your book of magic.
Read the Book!
There is no reason not to start your training... especially if you're petting a cat!
I would put a signature here, but I'm too busy writing other things :)
Good Study Habits
I say study the book. Lisa will divulge the secret of Mac on her own time.
Thanks and kudos.

Option 3
Start singing for yourself: Dark Vader Theme from Empire strikes back, while looking through book.

Asking about Mac...
...is the most immediate concern, since this has a huge impact on whether or not you actually do go to this Dark Dungeon Department Whatever. While studying is important, beyond doubt, this is >immediately< important, and thus much more urgent.
If singing happens anyway, or if the others can be accomplished whilst or by singing, then you should definitely sing "Eternal Flame" by Bob Kanefsky and Julia Ecklar. >:-D Mwahahahh!

Ask about Mac
Really, worry yourself a little more. ;)

Study First...
...or you may never get there.
(Songs? Well, not "Hocus Pocus", "Bibbidy Bobbidi Boo" or "Abracabra", or even "Please" or "Thank You". I'd stay away from "Witch Doctor", too. You're liable to hurt somebody...)
Eric
Ask about Mac.
Then once you've finished - especially if the tale is slightly gruesome, a certain Eric Idle song would probably be appropriate... and as it has a whistled hook, you'll be encouraging everyone else to join in as well :D

Start learning COBAL and C at once! Get ahead of "the game"
Mac, Lisa, Fortran?
Somebody has dealt with computers haven't they.
Then wasn't there a turtle/LOGO bit earlier?
Have fun. Ignor our votes and choose your own path.

Oh the PAIN !
Oy, enough with the computer references/groaners.
-- GRIN --
Let's see, other songs to avoid.
It Ain't Easy Being Green. I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts -- unless she realy does want to be male again. Yes We Have No Bananas works the other way I guess. Could be disaster for any males in range though. Any magic related tunes or songs from horor films are a no-no. IE Beware of the Blob. Ad jingles are very dangerous. Absolutely do not sing Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner.
