"Bridge Carson here, guys, broadcasting from somewhere that's actually set up like a radio station, and not a robot dog, like last time. I still don't know how that happened, exactly, but it was fun. Anyway, here's what happened today!"

A Little of Column B, A Little of Column A

"Okay, so dudes, this morning? Cam and Marty held a second-floor breakfast. Only it wasn't actually technically a second-floor breakfast, because a bunch of guys showed up who aren't from the second floor. Like Belthazor, but it's okay because he made coffee and I don't even wanna think about what things would be like if there was a breakfast without coffee. Kawalsky is totally a pancake ninja, and Marty totally fails at pancakes. Dude, I didn't know it was possible to fail at pancakes. Pippi and Alanna talk about pets, and, okay, that reminds me... does anyone around here have what could be considered a ‘normal' pet? I mean, okay, technically normal is relative so for example I'm pretty sure Faithful thinks that talking is normal even though it's not normal for other cats to do that, but you know what I mean. Pip comes in talking like a zombie, but is not a real zombie, which is good because we all know how that ended. Unless you weren't here last semester. But then again, you've probably heard about it, haven't you? Liz talks about knighting Cam after she gets elected to the Student Council, or something. Oh yeah! Sophomores, you should totally vote for Isabel and Peter and me. Because we have lots of good plans about cool stuff to do this semester that I think you guys will all really like. Maia and Pip talk about- whoa, whoa. They talk about possibly becoming nudists, all right? Yeah. Aeryn stops by, she and Cam talk about- they talk about John and Aeryn and their plans about becoming nudists. Wow, everyone on this school is really keen on being… nudists. I'm not one to judge, but guys, this is seriously weirding me out. Still, whatever butters your muffin. Chiana talks to Aeryn about the coolness of the second floor, or possibly the insane-ness of the second floor, which are probably not actually mutually exclusive. I mean, maybe the second floor is cool because it's crazy! Didn't anyone ever think of that, huh? Huh? And, okay, I wasn't there at the breakfast this morning so you've gotta tell me guys... was there any toast? Was it-" there's a slight pause "-buttery?"

"So did you guys see the really cool posters Isabel made? I think they're totally awesome, but maybe I'm biased. But I think I'm allowed to be biased in this case. Vote Peter, Isabel, and Bridge! Who is me. Not that there are any other Bridges at this school, but I thought I should clarify just in case. Lily with one l- although, actually, there are two l's, they're just not right next to each other- she put some posters up too. They move and stuff, which is, okay, pretty impressive, even if she's a rival for the Student Council position and all. But dude, they wave at you! Wave! Jake put up some posters too, but they're not for Student Council, they're for his art show, which I kinda meant to go to but I got distracted by um, well, it involves my computer and some bagels."

"Up on the fourth floor, Lana and Allie talk about... uh, how to get detention? Or, at least, that's what this says. Dudes, why do you want to get detention? I think it's supposed to be a bad thing!"

"Officer Lion-Girl-Jaye says vote for Angel but not for Marty! And, dude, she can't spell Aeryn's name? It's spelt how it sounds, that's not hard! John catches Cal stealing posters of Angel and teases her about it. Dude, Callisto can kill you dead in like a million ways. Are you sure that was a good idea? Angela said something about Marty and it got printed on the flyer but it wasn't what she meant to say. Or well, it was, but she didn't mean for it to be taken that way. Angel and Angela talk about important things like Student Council and soulmates. And, okay, John and Angel? I'm looking at the description of what you guys were doing, and I think you actually may have successfully negotiated a peace treaty in Intergalactic Sign Language between the warring factions on the planet Onyx. Too bad none of them will ever find out about it. You could have ended years of fighting!"

"In the 5th Floor Girl's Room, Pippi proves that the washrooms aren't just for humans, or, well, actually I guess it's humanoids, isn't it, because we do have a few aliens or other beings that aren't classified as "human" at Fandom High, don't we?

"Pip hangs out with Maia on the roof, where they dance to the greatest dance songs ever. Apparently. I don't know, I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure."

"Walter, Pippi, Al and Victor make some pie for Principal Smith on the 3rd Floor, and I'm told that's not a euphemism. I hope that's not a euphemism, people. Also, personally, I think buttery-" another short pause "-toast might go over with the dude better."

"Down in the Lobby, John, Rory, Chloe, Anakin, and Aeryn play on a slip-n-slide. And there's no nudity. None. Nobody even thinks about becoming nudists."

This and That

"Becky, which is apparently the name of the scary monochrome girl who winked at me that one time and reminds me vaguely of a friend of mine, stole a yacht. GOB's yacht, to be exact. And since he's now yacht-less, he goes to ask Becky, who is surprisingly happy to see him, if he can have a place to crash."

"Okay, so, dudes, in The Emporium? Michael and Inara talk about Chiana's Safe Walk program, which is a totally cool idea, and mad props, dude, for thinkin' of that. Inara and Michael then try and explain modern Valentine's day to Walter, DEATH, and Macbeth. DEATH and Macbeth- dude, that totally rhymes, cool! - DEATH and Macbeth also talk about berets and the possibility of colour tyranny. I wonder if I'm a victim of colour tyranny? I mean, for some weird reason almost all of my clothes are black and grey. I have a few green things but that's it."

"At the Movie Thea- we have a Movie Theatre? Wow. I so did not know that. Which makes sense since I haven't been to town much so how would I know it's there if I haven't seen it? Anyway, at the theatre, Blair gets a job. Yay! Did you get your plant yet, dude? That girl who gave me makeup advice that one time, even though I don't wear makeup, was talking during the movie, which pissed Aeryn off. Dude, why is everyone, like, failing at not pissing Aeryn off these days? Maybe there's something in the water. I wonder if we could get that checked."

"Over at Professor Ted the Music Dude's place, Professors Lyman and Skeeter move in. Professor Autolycus greets them wearing only a towel, which, okay, I'm not going to judge. I don't want to think about any of my teachers dressed in just towels, but maybe it's some sort of traditional garb from wherever he's from?"

"Professor Autolycus then goes to the Sin, where he has some sort of business meeting or something."

"The Clinic needs some qualified help. So, dude, someone apply, because it'd suck if you were like, in an accident or something and they didn't have enough staff to help you out, right? Not that I think that'll happen to anyone but it could so it's best to be prepared!"

"There's singing at Sunday Mass today. Lana grabs some dinner and talks to Deb at, well, Deb's."

Oh, You Know, Stuff...

"In the clinic, Dr. Pevensie arrives and apparently finds things a bit... unnerving. It's okay, dude, you'll totally get used to it. I'm sure you will. I guess nobody got injured today, 'cause Alanna hung out by herself. Well, not strictly by herself, since Faithful was there, but he was asleep so I'm not sure that actually counts."

"Jake's art exhibition is pretty cool, with people stopping by to see Callisto, Chloe, Duce, Lilly, and... dude! That's some awesome work there, man. Good job."

"Liz hangs out in her room instead of working on last-minute campaign things. I heard the phone ring across the hall from me in Cam's room, but I didn't hear his end of the conversation, and even if I did, I totally wouldn't tell you guys 'cause that's not cool. Anakin writes a letter home. Ivanova gets some fish- as pets, not for dinner or anything. Angela arrives back in the dorms after spending a weekend at home. Then she talks to Marty, and they- they broke up? What? That's crazy!"

"And I'm totally not ending the broadcast on that note, so I'm gonna ask you all: would you rather have a bear in a silly hat or a goldfish made of steel?"
