Fandom Radio, Sunday, October 1
"Ladies, gentlemen, squeaky toys, squirrels and gremlins of all ages, welcome to the pirate's own Fandom Radio. My Dad's been bothering me for an update on this little bundle of insanity we call Fandom, so I'm going to kill two birds with one stone and do radio in the form of a letter to my Dad, then send it to him.
Dear Dad,
I thought I'd write you a letter to show you what a typical day in Fandom is like. I hope this doesn't make you think that I've gone insane, because we both know it's too late for that. Here goes.
Dorm Life: An Experience You'll Never Forget, No Matter How Hard You Try
Peter Parker and Aeryn are in the gym today. Billy is in a tree, as that's the kind of thing kids around here do when they're not fighting the forces of evil.
In the fifth floor common room, Belthazor watches TV and makes Lavender emo enough to make her do some charming magic on herself. Cally is emo about emo, so Blair gave her a hug, then she talks about Homecoming. Bel yells at Blair to being mean to Lana and also talks about Homecoming. Blair admits he was a jerk.
Blair and River share breakfast and are apparently going to Homecoming together. Shawn learns not to emo near the plants or smoke near the telescope, which are both important lessons to learn here, Dad. Shawn then heals Blair's cuts - who knew he had that in him? - and is apparently going to Homecoming with Summer, as opposed to Winter or Fall.
Bel and River talk television, emo-less Chad meets Bel and there's much testosterone to be had and then Blair tries to convince Chad to take up yoga or ballet. Lyra worries about Tall Dean and then introduces herself to Chad.
Night time is a busy place around here, Dad. The kids are settling in for the night, and that usually means wild antics that I try not to notice.
In the fifth floor common room, the new bastion of activity, Marie sings, dances and makes cookies, then talks to Summer about hometowns, Homecoming and mutants. The same discussion is done over again with Bel and then Summer and Bel meet for the first time after Summer confuses Bel for his doppleganger.
English and Summer talk about dates and threats to said dates, English and Marie talk about wholesome things like the good kids they are and English and Cally talk Homecoming Queens. Don't worry English, I'm sure you're a shoe-in for Homecoming Queen.
Cally and Summer talk about emo, Marie offers Cally cookies and learns about Cally's...I'm not reading that aloud. There are some things that should remain private. Nadia tells Marie about her weird weekend and the ever-articulate Conner McKnight says "hi".
In the fourth floor common room, because I like counting backwards, Isabel watches television. You'd like her, Dad. She's a nice girl. She talks to Peter Parker about reality television, which I'm not even going to try to explain. Teddy reveals himself to Isabel as the king of Dork Land, then Peter and Teddy meet.
Isabel and Anders worry about the teachers catching emo, then Anders and Peter talk baseball. Good old American baseball. Teddy and Anders talk about the emo epidemic, as do Bridge and Anders.
Bridge and Peter discuss taking over Russia, but decide to wait until summer to give it a try. Isabel says she'll save Bridge a dance at Homecoming and Bridge and Teddy meet.
They're a sociable bunch here, Dad.
Jack tells Sam about his fight with Jarod and brought her breakfast. Now that's a guy who knows what he's doing.
Sakurazaki is emo. I think the doctors in the clinic are working on a cure for that.
Blair apologizes to Lana like the good kid he is, and then Lana tells Lavender what's wrong. Nadia and Pete are emo too. It's an epidemic!
Meanwhile, John Connor has a hangover, Jim hides out in the preserve, leaves a note for Blair, and then goes back to Lana and makes everything peachy keen again. Rory and Luke discuss dancing and being bored, Aeryn tries to feed Bruno the shark some goldfish crackers but later denies it, Dawn cheers up Bridge and...newsflash boys and girls, Parker is cranky.
Downtown: Same Insanity, Different Scenery
A duck is feeling cranky today. Are we sure Parker didn't turn into a duck? If not, Parker, the duck is your new best friend. Go be cranky together.
Alfred displays his apparent 'mad skillz' my squirrel notes say and defeats his staff's emo. Good for you, Alfred. Be sure to pass this treatment plan on to the clinic. Alfred then tells Clark about his staff. I don't know if it's just me spending too much time here, Dad, but that sounds like innuendo.
On to brighter topics, Carmela, Door and Evie go shopping for homecoming dresses, Giles and John Winchester meet and talk shop and...well. Jarod leaves town. I hope he paid his rent.
Down at Caritas, Cranky Parker talks business with GOB and the clinic is generally quiet.
The Emoo: Because This Place Apparently Isn't Weird Enough
So Dad, it seems that the cause of this Emo epidemic has been found. An Emoo. I've never seen one, but I assume it's like a puma.
A bunch of people are recruited to fight the Emoo: Alfred, The Doctor, Aziraphale, Pippi, Kaylee, Walter, Pip, John Connor, Kaoru and Hikaru, Artie and...I'm sure there are more, but I'm running out of breath here.
They fight. The Emoo multiplies! and then - victory! - the Emoo is banished by the might Army of Silliness. Now that's an army I wouldn't have to be drafted for.
And last but not least, Artie is leaving us for greener pastures. I salute you, strange man in red, blue and white.
That's about all for now, Dad. If it makes you feel better, just pretend this letter was a pitch for a new fiction novel.
Say hi to everyone for me. Everyone here in Fandom says hi back.
Your son,
Hawkeye."
