Bridge: Good evening Fandom, I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to tonight's co-host, Ro- Barnaby.
Rory: My name is not Barnaby!
Bridge: It is now.
Rory: Fine. You're Rufus.
Bridge: ...hey, we switched initials. Cool! That works.

Here & There

Bridge: Anyway, to start off today's broadcast, we've got Principal Washburn, who held office hours. Nobody stopped by, though. Cause it's a holiday!
Rory: And first thing this morning, the bus left for Baltimore! It's a gorgeous city. Wish I'd gone, Rufus. But I was busy with, y'know, stuff here.
Bridge: Right! Like getting emails and rescuing me from being stuck in a barrel of cereal. Thanks for that, by the way!
Rory: No problem. It seems while we were doing that, Angel was writing something in the clinic. That might have been last night, though. I'm not sure. In any case, Angel, stop writing stuff. That's not conducive to getting better.
Bridge: Unless he's trying to become a better writer. But somehow I doubt that was what he was doing. Um, Nadia's cat was sulking, but scritches won out in the end!

Rory: Aw, sulky kitty. How cute. And speaking of cute, Cally and Anders got a computer! And...um, if my notes are right, there's something about Cally dressing up like a cheerleader? That's...nice. I guess it's sweet Anders has a supportive girlfriend, right? That's what they mean by cheerleader! She'll always cheer him on!
Bridge: Yeah, I'm sure there was nothing dirty at all going on. Even after Anders finished putting it together.
Rory: No dirty. Nuh uh. And if anyone tries to tell me otherwise, I'll...throw a seahorse at you or something. Anyway! Belthazor is kinda grumpy with Phoebe for giving blood again, I guess. And the kitties aren't talking today. Woe.

Bridge: And then you were replying to that email you got earlier today. After which, lots of us- including me and you! went and hung out in the second floor common room.
Rory: Yes! And you almost fell asleep. Are you sleepy, Rufus? Because my very important job is to keep you conscious on the air.
Bridge: Nope, I'm still conscious. Elsewhere in the Common Room, some dude talks to Cam about Darla, and then has a conversation with Barnaby about girl stuff.
Rory: Thanks, Rufus. It wasn't "girl stuff." I mean, it was, but not like in an embarrassing way. Um. And now for something completely differ - Archie was talking about seamen? Hey, Rufus, my notes are kinda smudged...is that dirty? Because I think it might be.
Bridge: Let's move on to something not dirty, shall we, Barnaby? Like Molly and Blair, who hung out and talked. As one does. Or Callisto and Parker, who talked prophecies.

Rory: And elsewhere, in the gym, Pip and Pippi worked out. Okay, I have to say: this is like if I had a friend named "Ror." Or, as you insist, "Barn" or something. I dunno. I think that would confuse me.
Bridge: I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out. Nadia hung out on the roof, and then went inside and opened a present!
Rory: Nice segue. And Parker found out what Angel was writing earlier. And I'm not going to talk any more about that, because I am not going to cry on the air. Hey, should we tell them we rescheduled the contest?
Bridge: Good idea, Barnaby. New contest date, everyone. Monday afternoon, because Angel has to participate.
Rory: Yes. And damn it, Angel, you're going to. There will be a turtle on your head if I have anything to say about it! Anyway. Stuff happened in town, too.

Little of Column A, Little of Column B

Bridge: Like Victor got some... bot surgery? Right. Okay.
Rory: Can you even have surgery on something that's not biological? That doesn't make sense. Anyway, Angela went to see Marty at Empire Records before going on her trip, aww. And then Professor Cregg stopped by and caught up with Marty.
Bridge: And then Angela, Professor Cregg, and Barnaby stop by Giles's shop. That's the one with the books and that name that I can't spell.
Rory: Yeah, I can spell it, but don't ask me to pronounce it. I'm going to be a Watcher, did I tell you? Go me! But on a completely random note, 'cause as you've shown, segues are overrated - Walter and Nadia buy random stuff at All and Sundries

Bridge: As you do. And then Walter shows up for lessons at Alfred's. Do we even want to know what goes on behind closed doors?
Rory: No dirty. We've had too much of that in this broadcast. And...okay, Orlin totally bought drugs from those two guys who are always hanging around. And then Professor Cregg met them, but she didn't buy drugs. Just say no, guys.
Bridge: Professor Camulus hangs out with a cat, Orlin, and Phoebe. I really have nothing more to say about that.
Rory: And Quark and Crowley talk. Whoo-hoo!

This & That

Bridge: And that's it for town. Well, most of town. There's still the Clinic, where Angel's kinda doing better, maybe, and Bel, Cal, Janet, Logan, Marty, Barnaby and... can you read these last two names, they're kinda smudged on my notes?
Rory: Looks like Parker and Xander. Kind of. But that can't be right, so I'll just say Mystery People. So, aside from visiting Angel, a bazillion Chosen One-y types went by to give blood. Oh, and people? Chosen One-ness is not contagious. Just FYI.
Bridge: It's true, I checked. And I should know, I spent all day telling people they were Chosen Ones. And at least once I had to convince someone to come donate.
Rory: Good of you to do that. All of it, I mean. The handwavey and also the pulling people in. Yay Rufus. Oh, and Veronica went by in the evening to visit Angel. And people, you can't see me, but I'm crossing my fingers here. And I don't do that.
Bridge: Things will work out. I'm sure of it. So everyone, keep your hopes up and your heads high! This is Barnaby and Rufus, signing off!
