Fandom Radio, Monday April 29th

[myownface]

Gooood morning, Fandom. It's Sparkle, as per usual, sitting here with notes and rolling my eyes toward the ceiling because I'm waiting for a phone call. You'd think it'd be easy to figure out where a delivery driver went with a shipment, like, everything has GPS stuck to it these days, but nooo--

*Chittering*

Fiiiine. Give me the notes, I'm sure I'll get my chance to *beep* about it in context before long anyway.

*Rustling*

Sweet, it's all town today, which means I get to start with the note about the thing I was just complaining about.

*Defeated chittering*

So, I was at Demon Marcus yesterday and my order didn't come in, they lost my order, which means you're all S.O.L. if you want weather-appropriate jackets unless you wanna go to the mainland or go the couture route, which, I mean, you might, I bet Brooke would appreciate the customers, and they don't know where the delivery driver went but OOooOOOOOoooh, they'll get back to me. Like, maybe they could just give me a refund and let me order from somewhere else, but naaah, I've only got thousands of dollars wrapped up in this missing order, not a problem, it's fine, it's--

*Chittering*

FINE. Everything was country music at the Groovy Tunes during Jono's shift, and Jack stopped by with coffee, which did not survive long enough to be handed to him. Ooops. At least she mopped it up, too? At Luke's, Kanan was dealing with mortarboard pancakes - they're square - when Jack stopped by for coffee - the squirrels aren't telling me if it was the coffee that wound up on the Groovy Tunes floor - and to chat with Kanan about his feeeeelings. Summer stopped by too, and she had a complaint to share with Kanan about random portals and how to go about portal-proofing one's apartment.

Actually, that's not a bad question...

Fenris was playing with the kittenwillow at Covent Garden, and so help me I keep hoping the pussy willows go to kitten at T42 again but so far I have been tragically out of luck, there. Hernando stopped by - hiii, Hernando! - in order to ask about a bouquet to commemmorate... Ahahahaha.

Aaand now I have that JoCo song about *beep*ing outside stuck in my head, babe. You did this. This is on you.

And finally, Atton was at Caritas not listening to the news, because let's face it, mainland news is depressing, just listen to WTFH for all your what-is-going-on needs, and I stopped in to get completely smashed if he'd let me. Or at least to complain about my missing shipment some more.

And I could go off about that again, but I went and earwormed myself, so I'll just leave you with a, First of May, First of May, Outdoor *BEEP*--"

*Chitter!*

*Dead air*

Fandom Radio- Tuesday, April 30

[throughaphase]

Morning, everybody! This is Kitty for some reason, here with a baby who refuses to be put down or she cries and I got corralled over here too fast to get the caffeine that allows me to deal with that. So this is going to be a weird, stalkery storytime, I guess.

Lexi, please don't grab the squirrel.

There weren't any classes since we're still on break, but Tip was still in the library, where the books were throwing a pool party. I have questions about how those pages held up.

Nothing in the dorms, but in town, Hernando invited Sparkle over for breakfast and the ability to complain about work, and Beau was working on the parkour course. I really do need to get to that, like Liam did, where Jack just wanted a spar. Rosa probably didn't need one, since she snapped a computer mouse in half at the trooper station. Rosa, what. Also, why. Speaking of why, Summer's shift at Turtle and Canary involved both shrimp frosting and towers of boxes of glitter and I have concerns.

Seriously, honey, I'm going to need you to stop trying to grab Leroy's tail. I do not want to take you to the clinic for a bite from a drunken radio squirrel.

Iris, bless her, actually got the shrimp Jello and tried to get Summer to try it and talk about who she's not dating, Jack was getting caffeinated at the Perk and met Iris, who she lectured on how bigoted people are here.

I mean, everyone's experience isn't universal, and there are always new people who never knew aliens or mutants or magicians or whatever were real and now they're meeting them while dealing with culture shock, but in eight years here I've found most people tend to get over it pretty quickly. I've seen countless people be able to live their lives out in the open no matter what they are or who they love or where they come from, even if they can't anywhere else, even right across the causeway. Generally no one cares unless they're just a jerk, and there's no cure for that.

But hey. What do I know.

Anyway, she was nice to Fjord, and Nell was hard at work at the flowe-

*sounds of crying*

It's okay, he just ran under the console. He's still there somewhere. Hiding. Because you keep grabbing at him.

*more sounds of crying*

So this worked out well! Lessons were learned today!
