Fandom Radio, Saturday 6/14

Goooood morning, Fandom High! It's me, Alex, here with doughnuts and no Loki! Today is looking up. Let's get started with the news, beginning with the school. That Career Class was down a teacher and about...Human Resources?? Wait, it was actually about a career this week? Talk about a plot twist. There was something about hand puppets in the lecture, but the point here is that there was a lecture, and then people had to roleplay as Human Resources managers. Kathy and Anders paired up, but Kathy, probably wisely, refused to touch the puppets. I mentioned they were down a teacher, but they still had one, specifically Pam and her puppet Pam. Community Service and You was on the mainland again, at an orphanage this time--they still have orphanages? I thought those were just in sad Victorian novels. Anyway, there was a lecture and Bruce told the students their final will be a charity gala. So hope you're good at party planning. Then there was playtime with the orphans, and there were TAs and the teacher for talking to. Teamwork For Jerks was about compromise, and there were graphs, which I didn't really pay attention to, and a lecture, which I sort of did. Especially once I found out that if we could all agree on where to go for lunch, the teacher would pay. Which we did, and she did and so everyone was happy, including her and the TA, Korra. Hero Class was back in the Preserve for a lecture about how being the bigger person totally blows. Then they had to deal with scenarios like being stranded with your enemy, having power over someone who screwed you before, and knowingly walking into a trap. Uh. Maybe don't do that last one. And then of course people could talk to the teacher and TA.

Over in the dorms Maddie was doing some redecorating in her room, and...and nothing. I don't have any more notes for the dorms. Moving right along.

In town, Kathy did homework at the Perk, where she talked to Sparkle about whether she should change her code name, which if it's what's reported here, just saying, probably a good idea. Listen to the guy named Sparkle, Kathy. And then they argued over whether or not she should kill people. I cannot help you there, that is a decision every budding superhero or supervillain must make for themselves. At Groovy Tunes Elphaba was listening to disco. No word on whether that was willingly or not. At Caritas, Mike had summer-themed drinks and wanted Tino to wear a thematic hat, but Tino wasn't in for it. Aeryn stopped in for a beer and wanted to know what was up with the zombies. They're zombies, is what's up with the zombies. At The Perk, Tiny tried to explain soccer to Allie, then ranked the Spanish team by their leg muscles both of which are subjects your intrepid reporter's player has very strong opinions about. Kitty came by to say hi and talk about the soccer players, but Allie said she's not actually into sports. Then Kitty had to admit she was a Cubs fan. I'm sorry, Kitty.

And on that depressing note, I'm out of notes and out of here. See you guys next week! Don't do anything I wouldn't do! And, uh, probably don't do some stuff I would do, either. Later!

So. FYI, I've got one note here. It just says that Tamsin was cranky and made Ralph cry at the Trooper's Station. And normally I'd make a few jokes and just end things early, but there's a situation here at the station.

There's a teal deer here in the studio and - bear with me, his demands have had to be translated into squirrel and then English so there's a chance that I'm losing some of the nuance of his letter - but this deer is demanding that I talk for a solid five minutes or else he will paint himself - guys, that's not how you spell "fuchsia" - he will paint himself fuchsia.

His note says that he is the first of many teal deer who will paint themselves a different color. Some may be maroon, some may even be red and green polka dots - that is weirdly specific - but according to this note, they will not stand for exceptionally short radio broadcasts any longer.

I haven't been able to confirm whether this deer speaks for the greater teal deer community of Fandom, but right now I'm choosing to take his threats seriously. I just want it to be known that we here at WTFH, Fandom's Pirate Radio, support whatever color our special deer embrace for themselves, but we do not advocate using such personal beliefs as threats against such a rich tradition of natural coloration. And as such... *FSSST* *FSSST* *THWAPTHWAP* GO GO GO!

Fandom, we have the paint can and the teal deer has been secured. I'll see to it that he gets the help he deserves.

Good day, Fandom. And good luck with your wildlife experiences today.
