Topher: 'm sleepy.

Peter: And I’m thrilled to know about it.

Topher: Squirrels took my pillow.

Peter: I’m sure you’ll get it back if you throw a few nuts at them.

Topher: ...well, I don't have any.

Peter: Third drawer to the right.

*sounds of a brief scuffle*

Topher: ...and now they're using it as a plate. THANKS.

Peter: It’s not my fault you’re too hapless to deal with them.

SCHOOL

Peter: Today, in Leadership class, everyone was taught a valuable lesson about leadership. Such as playing slot machines. I see that this class has been instructive in the arts of leadership. Either way, Karla and Boy Skywalker played the game, and then the game played them, and then the teacher turned the whole thing back on them by claiming it was all about knowing when to cut your losses. Uh huh.

Topher: Lame.

Peter: The Art of Scrap flew a little closer to its mission statement - students were asked to explore the beach in search of scrap. Everyday Skills saw us learning how to dress for success and tackle the dangerous world of the job interview.

Topher: Lame. Who does interviews?

Peter: Presumably, people who want jobs.

Topher: Can't you just send in your stuff and then show up if they want you?

Peter: Sometimes, employers would like to know who they’re hiring before they do. I know, it’s a strange idea.

Topher: Well that would be the point of the sending in your stuff.

Peter: No, that shows them what you can do. It’s a subtle distinction.

Topher Yeah, yeah.

Peter: Rapunzel was glad to get some advice off of Hanna, since dressing for success is a rough exercise, and then students interviewed one another. In final class news, Chasing History’s Monsters had a movie day. No update on what the film was, but I’m sure that wasn’t relevant.

Topher: Lame.

Peter: Yes, Topher.

Wesley was still in his wheelchair, making it rough to do his job at the library. Picking up books is a chore with a wheelchair, I’m told. Sorry, Wes. You should contact someone about that.

And the Student Council tackled the difficult problems of pie and prom, because themes are hard.

Topher: More dances? Lame. Lame lame lame.

Peter: Could you stop abusing that word? Thank you.

Your teachers at work: Professor Jaye spent most of the day in her office, uploading pictures of students with droid babies to ‘Facebook’. Guess you’re not scrubbing that one off your records, guys.

TOWN

Topher: Audrey was at the Trooper Station. Organizing. Kenzi was at her store thing, being loud. There were green eggs and ham at Goodvalor's, awesome, and orange coffee drinks at the Devil's Nest. Yep.

Peter: Did someone dip too deeply into the food coloring again?

*papers rustling*

Topher: I do not know.

Peter: I thank you.

Topher: Also at Stark Industries, Ben and Ender were kissing, 'cause they do that in public, and talking about lost things and video games. Which Ender shouldn't be playing. In public. Against other people. Please.

Peter: Please don’t mind Topher. He’s got some unresolved trauma there.

Topher: He doesn't play fair!

Peter: Cry me a river.

Topher: Try playing against him. I dare you.

Peter: No, because I have better things to do than play video games.

Topher: Riiiight. And then Ben's cousin called. The one who's in my fan club. And they talked about how sometimes it's awkward to be around people. Yeah, tell me about it.

Peter: I don’t think anyone needs to tell you about it. I think it’s conducive to everyone’s sanity if they don’t.

Topher: Whatever. Can I sleep?

Peter: Yes. For the love of god, yes.

*sound of a head hitting a table*

Peter: That was it for WTFH news this morning, folks. Tune in again tomorrow, and let’s hope Topher will have cleared out by then. Have a good day!
