Fandom Radio, Wednesday, January 9th
Morning, everyone, this is Clint Barton. I haven't decided if it's a good morning yet, but it's looking up now that I have coffee, and apparently the squirrels have become fond of me. You'll all feel the same way soon enough, just give it time.
Let's start with the school since that seems to be the way this thing's done. In the Public Speaking class, Josh Lyman introduced himself to his students, and then gave everyone fifteen seconds and a bullhorn to do the same. I'm betting some of these kids didn't need the amplification. Josh also made Lex the Press Secretary of the day, and Lex had to answer increasingly strange questions from his classmates. That sounds kind of like hazing. Are we allowed to do that? Uh, moving on, in the Industrial Arts class, Kaidan Alenko talked about some of the safety regulations for the machinery they'd be using... oh, they're building robots! Awesome. Everyone did the introduction thing, and then paired up to plan their robot-building for the course of the semester. Then came There Will Be Cake, where James Bond led everyone through what I'm assuming are requisite introductions, and then they all made tea cakes. Aaand now I'm hungry. I knew I should have demanded breakfast from the squirrels too.
Electroclash had her office hours today, in case anyone needed a guidance counselor for something. My ginger doppelganger came by to tease her about how ill-suited she is for the job, which I actually have to agree with, because she's kind of scary. She also got a visit from a student - Emily - who stopped by to introduce herself and to find out a little about Electroclash in return.
In the dorms, Jackson was getting settled back in town, and making sure his roommate hadn't messed with any of his stuff. Now there's a big perk to living with someone I can trust. Stiles came by to check on Jackson and see if he needed any help, but Jackson blew him off, and Emily said hi to him since his door was kind of open, but Jackson didn't seem to appreciate that either. Then Jackson got unexpectedly dinosaured - it's a word, shhh - by Old Lace--wait, dinosaur? What happened to dogs, or like, goldfish as pets? No? Okay, well, Gert showed up to get her dinosaur back, and Jackson was understandably annoyed, since even non-surprise dinosauring is a little scary, but Gert insisted he must have done something to make Old Lace come after him. Smelling like food might have done the trick, I don't know.
In town, Jack got some introductory fight training from Derek. Not creeper training? I figured that'd be his real area of expertise. Victor was doing physics problems at Stark Industries - "for fun, exclamation point," I need to add, and at the Arms Hotel, Gunther was hiding from his bookie in the janitor's closet, much to Mary's annoyance. At Cafe Luke's, Karla bribed the staff with gift cards, but they still wouldn't let her practice cooking. Is that mean, or self-preservation? I can't tell.
Jane was doing inventory at Demon Marcus, and was looking for new employees. Priestly came in for one part clothes shopping, one part flirting with Jane since she's new in town, and Petra came in when she saw the hiring sign, and got a job working at the store since she's low on funds. Out at the abandonded warehouse district, Spider-Woman was doing some practice with clay pigeons, which I assume means knocking them over with her skills or something. Bay showed up looking for the "art scene," a.k.a. where she could get her graffiti on, and was surprised to find an actual costumed superhero. There's actually more than one around here, you get used to it. Alice also found Spider-Woman doing her thing, and tried to figure out her powers, but Spider-Woman refused to fight her because Alice is old. Was that justifiably rude? I think so.
At the Devil's Nest, Max was singing along to the DJ's mix of... Sarah McLachlan and Justin Bieber. Max, I'm not one to judge people's musical tastes, but I'm judging yours right now. And at Caritas, Kitty, a.k.a. the best bartender in the world--shhh, if you're going to make me do this, then I'm going to use it--was offering a free drink to anyone who could get the zombie drummer's arm to stay re-attached. Emily got herself a whole bottle of tequila, she and Kitty got themselves introduced, and she learned that no, Kitty isn't a student. Really, she isn't. She's not even going to be a teenager after this week, so... uh, April tried to get a raise instead of a drink for dealing with the zombie's arm, but that idea didn't fly, so April retaliated by bringing up the idea of zombie sex. Remind me to never watch a zombie movie with you, April. Allie wasn't interested in getting anywhere near the zombies, so she and Kitty just got caught up on how their holidays had gone, and then Spider-Woman took time away from her clay pigeons to swoop in and web the zombie's arm back on. That sounds... effective, I guess?
Those are all the notes I got, and I'm still hungry from the cake talk, so I'm taking my coffee and getting out of here. Have a good one, folks.
