Sunday Night Broadcast

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Good evening, folks! This is brambless, bringing you the happenings of this cold and beautiful Sunday.

Most of the action is in the common rooms, today - not surprising, given how cold it is outside!

Sawyer and Paige deal with the stress of studying for finals by finding the silver lining in failing. Hope for the best, plan for the worst - it's a great philosophy to live by!

In another common room, everybody is joining in on the Christmas spirit by watching a marathon of themed movies. No, I'm not going to tell you the theme. It's a secret. Aeryn talks with Kiki talk about which classes they might take next semester, and with Veronica about love and lies and the meaning of Christmas. Veronica bonds with Piper over their mutual favourite movie, and discovers that vampires are allergic to party hats. Jack Harkness is there too, watching a lot of movies, Janet stops by, and Piper is not interested in Bel. Which I'm sure comes as a relief to Phoebe! Lana is very interested in Shep, though. Also, she's a troublemaker, and they're incredibly cute together.

Surprisingly enough, I don't have the daily cuteness report on our reigning cute couple, Callynanders, so I'm going to hazard a guess that they've taken their cuteness to a private location, away from the Pirate's spies.

In the gym, Cameron works out his frustrations by punching and talking with Aeryn. Except, um, he wasn't punching Aeryn, he was punching a bag. Just so that's clear. Ivanova deals with her angst by buying chocolates, which I personally think is a much more pleasant method. Inara's buying chocolate too, just because it's a good idea.

In news that makes me reach for the comfort of chocolate, Mr. Crowley's been called 'home' - and I suspect not for merry holiday cheer, given, um, what things are like where he comes from. Our love and thoughts go with you, Mr. Crowley, and we hope to see you back amongst us soon. Mr. Phale breaks the news to Kiki, and then to Mr. Wilson, and they're both as devastated as I am. Sonia Belmont is also leaving us, dropping by Geoff's today to say her goodbyes. Mr. Six may also be leaving us - he hasn't said goodbye to anyone, that I know of, but he seems to be trying to dig his way out. Or hunt for buried pirate treasure, which... Barbossa? You haven't got anything stashed around, have you? Because, um, the safety deposit boxes at the bank are probably a little more secure...

Chiana and Red discuss a plan to keep the town safe, but at the moment it seems like the biggest thread to Fandom are the ducks. Scary, scary ducks, as Mr. GOB found out. Earl the giraffe, however, is not at all scary. He's absolutely adorable, and enjoying the night air with Mr. Logan.

Nobody's in the clinic, and nobody's out drinking at Spike's, because they're all too busy with the

Gift-giving!

And you wonderful people are all being so generous I'm making an entire section just to talk about it!

So... Veronica exchanges gifts with Angela and Angel, who also gets presents from roommate John, not-his-girlfriend-at-all Callisto, and Rory, surprisingly enough.
Secret Santa gifts continue to pour in, with the reveal practically heartbeats away, in both dorms and town. In other gift-giving news, The Tick's secret identity has been revealed, and he is the fabled Santa Claus! And (*sings*) I saw Becky kissing Santa Claus... when he came by to drop off her gift, thus proving that she's been a very good girl this year. Jarod, Miho and Becky all exchange gifts.

Marty, Anakin, Parker and Janet give gifts to practically everyone in the school, between them. Seriously, wow. Rory gets more than just a present from Anakin, but I'm assured that they're just friends, and are not dating. Really. Lee's love affair with toast goes to the next level after his present from Anakin - he's actually making the bread now. Which I think is the baking equivalent of meeting the parents.

Looks like there might be another truckload of gifts tomorrow, if the action in Sam's room is any indication - Lee, Janet and John Connor were all needed, just to help her wrap! CJ's been shopping, too, and has enough packages that she needed help from Mr. Quayle to carry them home.

So for the most part, it sounds like it's been a beautiful day in Fandom, and tomorrow promises to be more of the same, as we head into the last few days of classes for the calendar year. Have a great night, everyone, and remember - 'tis the season to be good to one another!

[ooc: Sorry this is so late - my ISP went down, and I've been trying to get back online for hours. Grr. Argh! For those of you playing at home, this is my last radio broadcast. It's been fun, and thanks for listening to me on Pirate Radio!]

Pirate Radio, December 19

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

This be likeguidelines and Will-who-be-a-nuisance bringin' ye Fandom's latest 'n greatest on Pirate Radio.

Readin', Writin', Rithamatic
Monday's Ethics class be turnin' in their homework, and then all of the Ethics classes be gettin' thar grades fer the term. I be hearin' some grumblings about them. If I be tellin' ye specifically what I be hearin', the Fandom Communications Folk be comin' after me wit' sticks, though, so ye'll jes' have to use yer imaginations.

Professor Chaucer be postin' the Speech Comm grades fer Professor Cregg, who be in the hospital. Because o' the accident, the Doctor also be gone. He be sendin' an e-mail t' his Quantum Physics students t' remind them that their projects be due on Wednesday.

The Language classes be takin' a final quiz, then watchin' movies, Anthropology 'n Archaeology be takin' the second parts o' their finals, Celtic Literature be takin' their final exam, and Doctor Grissom's classes be takin' terribly borin' exams as well. Such happy faces on all o' ye in this time o' peace and joy.

Art Appreciation be writin' essays about what they be learnin' this semester. I, fer one, be learnin' that velvet be a terribly underappreciated art medium. I do be wishin' I could share that with Coach Ash, but he be shot into space. And that be considered a normal-type excuse around here.

Principal Bristow, and Professors Maclay, Tick, Calendar, and Chaucer be havin' office hours. Professor Chaucer be puttin' his final touches on his grades fer the semester, as be Professor Eppes and Professor Sidle.

The library be busy today. Classes be almost over, ye crazy people. Get yerselves some lives! Rory be in a good mood today. She be tellin' Angela why, though we be not able t' hear it. Angel be gettin' a puppy, which he be introducin' to the library wenches. Parker be handin' more gifts out: Jake 'n Jack be the grateful recipients.

Study hall be dead, though. I guess ye be learnin'. Or be realizin' ye won't be learnin' any more this semester.

The newspaper's holiday edition be out this morning, and our new principal be lookin' fer some information on all of us fer his files. Tremblin' in fear yet? I be.

Professor Chaucer, Aziraphale 'n Crichton be in the clinic today.

Roomin'
The Christmas spirit jes' be pukin' up all over the place. Thar be tons o' gifts from Secret Santas, and flower deliveries, and regular-type gifts. Cam be givin' out presents. So be Jaye. And Lee. And Anders. And Cally. And Sam.

Professors Sidle 'n Grissom be unwrappin' somethin', maybe. I be pretty sure it be not a present, though.

Crichton 'n Aeryn be makin' up. And possibly out. Shep 'n Lana be cute in his room.

Six be strangely social today and Angel be takin' his new puppy fer a walk. His actual puppy, thank ye very much.

Thar be a heist afoot tonight, we be hearin'. Our recordin' devices, sadly, only be pickin' up the code names--thar scramblin' software be good. Principal Bristow be vigilant against the wiles o' Apollo, Lazarus be takin' out Rover, and Merlin be workin' with Biff. Wench Wrench, Blondie 'n Drake be liberatin' a vile machine o' the proletariat from the evils of the teachers' lounge, coordinated by the mysterious Control. They be settin' off an alarm, though, because these things happen. The quick, err, thinkin' of Drake 'n Wench Wrench be gettin' them away unscathed. The band of merry men 'n wenches be conductin' a Bible study o' victory back in Control's room, where rumor has it Apollo got completely arrowed hammered.

Revelin'
The Doctor be findin' out about Professor Cregg's accident, and Professor Chaucer be buyin' things at Red's 'n tellin' him about the accident as well.

Doctor Wilson be missin' Doctor House, Professor Maclay 'n Shane be headin' out of town forever (as be Sonia), and Professor Methos be headin' to Richmond t' visit Professor Cregg.

Aziraphale 'n Professor Gilmore-Danes be gettin' Secret Santa gifts, Parker 'n Jarod be exchangin' gifts at Caritas. Aww. He be makin' the present himself.

Rogue 'n John Connor be shoppin' at the NPC Army Surplus store, Parker 'n Janet be swingin' by the deli, and Marty be openin' up Aziraphale's. Angela be comin' in wit' a gift, and Aziraphale be feelin' lonesome without Crowley. Mayhaps he should get a pet. Everyone else be gettin' one. Ye can have mine. *angry squawking* Oww, ye wretched bastard! That be me ear.

Professor Chaucer be hittin' Spike's and Piper 'n Veronica be at Luke's. Paige 'n Sawyer also be stoppin' in.

That be all from the Crow's Nest. Keep an eye out fer the Rover, and have a good night!
