[so_hawkward]

Hey everyone, this is Clint Barton and wow, am I happy to be coming to you as a normal person with a hopefully normal set of notes. You really don't appreciate 360-degree motor control until you don't have it any more.

Okay, let's look at these notes. Over at the school, the Weapons 101 class got to have a free-for-all with weapons and Amaya and Rosa answering questions, in exchange for all the hugs last week. Wilderness Exploration got apologies from Steve and Tony for supporting creepy privacy violations, and talked about how to use public transportation and actually arrive on time, and 2 Plan 2 Fire finished things off with a movie day.

In town, Dr. Lecter had his counseling office open, and Iris stopped by with good coffee to check on him. Eponine had to deal with gremlins driving tiny dog sleds at the post office, which is the type of weird note I don't mind seeing, and Zack was very happy to have an animal shelter full of normal animals again. Norman had quite a few people wanting to dispose of voodoo dolls at the Magic Box... yeah, I have questions but I'm just going to blame last week and move on. Wayne was hard at work at Syndulla Scrap which is thankfully back to just being a junkyard, and Shunsui had to deal with making an inventory order for the first time in a while at Turtle and Canary. Luckily, Iris stopped in to get some food, so he had a distraction. Kitty brought Lexi with her to Caritas, and if anyone questions that, I want you to think about how much you'd cling to your child after last week. Regina stopped in, and she and Kitty talked about how they were doing after being bad toys. Kanan and Kitty talked about how we need to save up for inevitable therapy for Lexi - that's something parents here should get together and talk about more - and Kitty made sure Rosa was all right as well. Steve also stopped by to check on Kitty, and ordered a water. Now that's how you know things are back to normal.

That's all my squirrel-scratch here, so have a good one Fandom, and as always, stay safe.

Beau: So, uh. Fandom. You're all good this week, right? Right? Yeah.

Keyleth: Oh, you know. I think it's safe to say it's an improvement over last week.

Beau: Yeah, about that, can you maybe not get arrested and [BEEP] again?

Keyleth: Believe me, it's not something I plan to make a habit of.

Beau: Cool, cool. Wouldn't recommend it. Aaaaaaaanyway. Been a little bit since we've done this, huh? Didn't you all miss this. Except, you know, with the island back to its normal level of [BEEP]in' weird, it might be Shenanigans without the disaster now.

Keyleth: Oh, I don't know. We're here, so . . .

Beau: HEY. No, you know, that's fair. Back to shenanigans, though. You poor suckers who got roped into the teams this week got stuck with being, like, Team Pharp, Team Moop Death, Team So Stone Beige, Team Smitter, and Team Dingle and I'm not sure if that's a sign that Anakin is definitely back to feeling like himself, or if someone should really go check on him.

Keyleth: They're not necessarily mutually exclusive things, you know. The teams had to compete in three relay races, one with hula hoops that Dingle won, one where everyone had to pass cups of water backwards over their heads to fill a bucket that So Stone Beige won -- but there's no way anyone got out of that dry -- and . . . wait. What?

Beau: Something where everybody had to pass greased watermelons down the line with no hands, just their knees. That is. Man. That is like a whole new level of sadism right there, dude.

Keyleth: Oh, hey! Aeryn came to check on him, or at least to tell him she was glad he was feeling better. So that's nice.

Beau: Sure. Summer kept getting sucked into watching cat videos at Caritas instead of, like, doing research on stuff? That's valid. Also incredibly soothing, I have to say.

Keyleth: Sometimes I just turn into a cat for similar reasons.

Beau: You know what, don't rub it in.

Keyleth: Sorry! I've maybe been doing that a lot the last few days. Rey came in to order some water and catch up with Summer, you know, now that we're not all toys any more and it isn't weird and awkward? Well, I guess sometimes it's weird and awkward no matter what we do, but not this conversation, as far as the squirrels' notes say. And Seivarden wanted to know what the meiloorun in this week's Jello shot special was, and it turns out it's some kind of space fruit.

Beau: You know what's messed up, is I haven't been taking advantage of those Jello shot specials. I'm slacking, man. Kanan was just staying home today, which is also valid considering, y'know. The whole near-execution thing and don't think I'm not kinda pissed at you for that whole situation too, Antlers. Anyway, Hera was there giving him one of Those Looks, you know the ones, and wanting to know if he was ever going to tell her about what happened last week. And then Liam . . .

*sigh*

Was having kind of a rough time that screwed with his whole making-dinner thing, but Verity was there to help him through it, so that's good.

Keyleth: A lot of people are having a pretty rough time of it this week. Understandably.

Beau: Yeah. That's all the notes we've got about it for today, though, so . . . just, like. Take care of yourselves this week, right?

Keyleth: Please. Do whatever you have to, just be good to yourselves. There's no shame in it. Until next week, Fandom, this is Radio Exandria signing off!

Beau: Look, we never agreed on that as a tag li-- *click*
