Fandom Radio // Tuesday, Sept 6, 2011
Marshall: -ey, hey, what are you doing? Stop it! Stop- SQUIRRELS! No, I don't want any rum!
Ronan: Huh, so this is the radio station. I've always wondered. Ta, thanks, but it's a little early. I try not to start drinking 'til at least five o'clock.
Marshall: They did this to me before. Yeah, here are the notes. I'm Marshall, by the way. Marshall Wheeler.
Ronan: Ronan Nolan. Aaaand it looks like the radio is already broadcasting, so Good morning, Fandom! Not sure how much you've heard, so I'll just apologise for all of it and we'll get started, all right?
SCHOOL
Marshall: Classes yesterday started off with Basic Strategy, where we had to fight these purple lizard... wolf... things. I still don't know what to call them. We all just kinda boggled at them, and then Lord Tyrion was all, "Here are some weapons, have at it!" I... hid.
Ronan: It looks like Bruce handled himself a little better than you did. Well enough to gather some female admirers, at least. And a male one. Equal opportunity, Bruce? Good man. Nice to know someone is carrying on the tradition. Stephanie, meanwhile, screwed the landing on what would otherwise have been some very impressive gymnastics, but she still managed a good score thanks to the Latvian judge. There was a debrief after the exercise, and Tyrion and his new TA, Kate, were there to talk to.
Marshall: What do you mean, equal oppor- You know, never mind, I can figure it out. Aesthetics of Badassery -- and don't I wish I were in that class -- decided on outfits for different scenarios. The students listened to the lecture before deciding on clothes for four different scenarios -- one of which had Caroline dressing in a bikini, which apparently made Bobby McCallister get a little embarrassed. At least, I assume that's what 'red-faced and squeaky' means in the notes.
Ronan: I can think of a few other things. Just remember, Bobby, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to... calm down... think of something else. Naked Umbridge usually works for me, although I don't imagine most of the students left would know who she is.
... I apologise for anyone else who's listening whose brain I just destroyed, but you have to admit, it is a particularly vivid image.
Marshall: I really, really don't want to know, do I? Anyway, Professor Bond and the TA were both there to talk to, and since the TA is Bobby, I guess he survived. Cultural Understanding pondered how magic is perceived in different worlds. Jocelyn and Karla showed off some stuff from their own worlds, people talked more, and the teachers were there to talk to.
Ronan: Lots of talking in that class.
Marshall: You don't say?
TOWN
Ronan: Meanwhile, over in town, I was late for my clinic shift. My dear nurses, I promise I will find some way to make it up to you. At Stark Industries, Ender opened up and Ben came by for lunch sans coffee and an argument.
Marshall: Over at Fast Eddies, Bruce waited for Jocelyn, and then they talked about getting used to Fandom before deciding to exchange lessons: pool for Russian.
Ronan: Angelica exercised the horses at the Gig, Karla daydreamed at Dite's -- that seems an appropriate use of the store, really -- and Captain Jack was working at the Devil's Nest, where Postman K refused to tell Eric what was in a parcel he delivered. On Labour Day. Someone's dedicated to his job! I like that in a man.
Marshall: ... Is there anything you don't like in a man?
Ronan: I'll let you know when I figure that out.
DORMS
Marshall: Caroline was bringing brownies with her Student Council campain slogan around to all the junior students' doors and was stopped at... hey, mine! By my roommate, Jocelyn, who didn't believe that Caroline's into the whole StuCo thing, apparently. I dunno, it's never really been my thing either, there was this one time at my last school with bee pheromones...
Ronan: Bee pheromones?
Marshall: Someone took being the school's 'queen bee' way too literally.
Ronan: ... I think this time it's my turn not to ask.
Marshall: Probably safer that way.
Ronan: And Natalie and Tara talked about yesterday's Google Doodle, which was brilliant, and then boggle over how excited everyone is for the Student Council race this year. I definitely don't remember most people getting this into it -- maybe Turtle, but she was always a special case for things like this.
Marshall: You went to school with a turtle?
Ronan: And a felt frog, and I'm pretty sure briefly with a unicornunless my mun is screwing up the timeline there. But Turtle's human; it's a nickname.
Marshall: Ah, I guess that... A felt frog? No. No. Not going to ask. Moving on, we've got Kenzi talking to nobody, apparently, in the stairwell, until Simon shows up and she explains to him how she nominated Wesley for the StuCo election. Isn't that against the rules or something?
Ronan: I guess not, if they're not worried about us talking about it on radio. Either that or Kenzi's about to get in trouble. Like she kinda did with Wesley when he showed up and points out that running? Not so much interested, no. Simon does is best to explain that it was all Kenzi's idea, and he and Wesley are Polite and British at each other -- which, trust me, means hilariously awkward -- until Simon leaves.
Marshall: The best common room in the school, on the fifth floor, had Mercy watching cop shows with Chinese food, where she was joined by Rapunzel and her pet chameleon. And her hair, apparently. For some reason that's worthy of mention in the notes. And then they eat and try to decide who's the cutest guy on the TV show.
Ronan: And, finally, both the boys and girls bathrooms had butcher's paper up that people were writing on; looks like the girls' started with 'Vote for Annie!' and the boys' with a nerdy science joke.
Marshall: Nerdy science jokes are the best!
Ronan: Did you hear about the time Heisenberg was stopped by the cops for speeding?
Marshall: No! What happened?
Ronan: The cop asked him if he knew how fast he was going. Heisenberg said, "No, but I know exactly where I am!"
Marshall: Aahahahahaha! That's awesome!
Ronan: And that's the end of the notes, so this is Ronan-
Marshall: -and Marshall!-
Ronan: -signing off. Good morning, Fandom, and enjoy your day!
