Fandom Radio, Sunday, May 12
Are you serious? What about that nasally, nerdy kid who usually goes today?
*chittering and scratching*
He's not answering his-- oh, so he can do it on the phone, but you dragged me out of bed? Nice.
Hi, Fandom, I'm Gertrude Yorkes, and this radio thing is a thing we do. I know, it's pretty Big Brother. You don't really get used to it.
Yesterday in town, Jessica Drew was fixing a toaster over at Stark Industries. Which is pretty good, work-ethic wise, considering everyone else had free food and was socializing it up over in the park at the picnic.
First - well, not chronologically, necessarily - new kids met their school-assigned siblings. New student Raven Darkholme met Jessica and asked about bus drivers, which meant that she learned that the pink pony doesn't always drive. I... didn't know she ever drove. That's an experience. They also talked about how the normal bus driver is Dean Skywalker, who wears a cape, and discussed worlds with superheroes versus worlds without.
Next Bay and Theo met up, and they talked about Theo's flight in before Bay started educating him on all the weirdness that happens around here. Then I met Alexandra and gave her the rundown, which was easy because I have a dinosaur as evidence of how strange this place is, and Emily met up with Snow to fill her in on presumably the same stuff as everyone else. And finally Sia found Anya and summarized how this place is a multidimensional nexus. Maybe we need to come up with a better term for that that doesn't sound like something out of a science fiction novel from the sixties. It probably spooks people. Or makes them think we're full of crap.
Roommates were also a thing people met. Toby, who's been around here for a while, met Snow, who hasn't, and he offered to buy her modern clothes in case she needs them. Theo and Raven met up too, and after deciding that they didn't really feel the need to switch to other accomodations just because they're the opposite gender, they talked about where they're each from and what California's like. That's a loaded topic. And Alex and Anya talked too, and while they don't have the gender problem to worry about, they did want to come up with a way for Anya to distinguish Alex from her big sister Sia, who apparently looks just like her. Because yeah, I guess that happens.
And then the teachers congregated too. Ms. Pie checked in to tell Dean Skywalker that she didn't drive too horribly, and to be surprised at him that people hadn't expected a pony to drive the bus. The... Mr... Spirit was also a little confused by her.
Mr. Odinson and a new teacher named Dr. Banner were surprised to see each other -- if that's who I think it is, I'd be surprised too -- and talked about mutual colleagues that are here too. So yeah, that is who I thought it was. Odinson also met a Mr. Winchester - Dean, by the way, since there's apparently three now and I think that justifies using first names - who said that he's new to teaching but not to town. So just someone optimistic and ambitious, then.
The Wiggin brothers, which sounds like a circus act, met up, and it sounds like Peter was being kind of a jag to the other one. Then Mr. Alenko and Dean Winchester went over whether or not Winchester's prepared to teach, since he doesn't seem to want to use books. Yeah, that'd be an indicator. Meanwhile, that guy's brother and co-teacher, Sam Winchester, met up with his teaching buddy Mr. Lyman, who he already knows, and they talked about how much taller Sam apparently got. Sounds like important teaching skills.
Mr. Priest ran into Mr. Hale, and they talked about what they were teaching, which somehow turned into a masculinity-off even though one is teaching a class on games and the other one's teaching arts and crafts. Those sound pretty similar, testosterone-wise. Then Banner came over and asked Priest if the picnic was mandatory - no - and they each talked about their classes and what got them teaching here. Banner also talked to Mr. Barton about who else is here that they know and what this place is like: neither a delinquent boot camp nor a prep school. So they're both wrong. Kitty found out who Banner was and what fields of science they're both into, and then teenage Tony Stark freaked Banner out by being tiny and talking about the time he took a few punches from the Hulk. But apparently it was a good thing. The more you know.
Tony also talked to Ben Skywalker, who's a new teacher but not new to this town, about how Tony got fired and is poor now but is still going to college. Uh... I'm pretty sure this is an accurate example of irony. And Ben Skywalker talked to his teaching buddy Mr. Barton, too, who was surprised to see that someone who got out of here decided to voluntarily come back. But apparently it wasn't so voluntary, so that clears that up. Dean Winchester talked to his alternate-universe stepmom, Principal Winchester, about his alternate-universe dad's former teaching career here and the relative danger that her daughter Grace is in. Which is apparently none. Having actually seen our principal, I could've told you that.
The last teacher to show up was some arrogant superhero type, Batman, who got dropped in by an actual jet. Ms... Electroclash called him a show-off, which I'm pretty sure is accurate, and he said he pitied the students who got her as a guidance counselor. Maybe they're both right. Mr. Priest complimented Batman's entrance before talking about what they're each teaching, and when they discussed the dungeon thing from last term, Batman got creepy and cryptic about the horrors he's faced in his life. Then Dean Skywalker and Batman bickered about their vehicles for a while, and finally Batman met his teaching buddy, Ms. Solo, who complimented his entrance but also wondered how often that kind of jet is really necessary. Never is probably the answer. Waste of fuel and resources.
Meanwhile, while all the teachers did their thing, the rest of us were hanging out with not them.
Toby was reading when Kenzi came up and surprised him with a hug, which I'd actually probably be pretty annoyed by if I were him. He was reading. Cade was doing basically the opposite of reading, which is hitting on a bunch of girls, including Bay, who he told all about his new shot that he invented. Another one was Raven, who Cade had to explain small-school living to, as well as what cheese curls are, and then Snow, who he heroically told about the free food and the fact that the principal supposedly shoots a gun well. Seriously, Cade, those are your go-to facts? Then Natalie called him out on stealing food, and his defense was basically that at least he wasn't using his bag to kidnap people, which I'll let speak for itself. Jessica, on the other hand, asked him whether the bag was for body disposals, but when Cade assured her that he had a separate, labeled bag for that, they moved on to talking about what food he was stealing instead and whether he wanted to share it. Apparently Jessica merits sharing. I'm sure she jumped for joy when she found that out.
I said hey to Maddie and thanked her for watching my dinosaur while I was at Bay's for a couple of days, and we talked about how dinosaurs are basically the best, pretty much. Then I met Theo, and we talked about our respective LAs, how incompetent superheroes are, and what the crappier parts of living in this town are -- specifically, stuff like that dungeon we all were stuck in for a week. Theo also met Jessica, who told him that even if this place is nothing like what he expected, at least all the weird stuff is pretty short-lived. Except the stuff that isn't. So.
Snow was approached by Loki, and they discussed similarities between their worlds - specifically the presence of magpies. There's a fun omen. Even though Snow's here by accident, Loki told her that this place doesn't suck as far as fresh starts go -- and you should listen to him, Snow, 'cause he'd know -- but apparently Snow's got a mission to take care of that doesn't involve wasting time in high school. Which pretty much sucks.
My new fake sibling, Alex, got a lot of hellos due to the looking-like-Sia thing. One was Jessica, who guessed that Alex wasn't Sia from her clothes and her slightly different hair, and after Jessica warned her about how everyone's going to mix the two of them up for the next little bit, they talked about what types of movies they want their lives to be like. Yeah, my answer would be none. Who wants to live in that kind of fake dreamworld? Then Sia met Alex, and they established that they're probably not related, which makes the shared-face thing even weirder. Finally Atton just thought Alex was Sia outright, and after he was corrected, he went on to reassure Sia that people probably won't get the two of them confused for long since apparently he finds Alex a lot nicer. Not sure how well Sia took that.
Sparkle and Victor talked about the new people they'd each seen so far, including Snow, which led to a discussion about how freaked-out girls can yell. Uh-huh. Unrelatedly, I'm sure, Victor told Sparkle the story of his recent breakup, which... actually sucks. Sorry, Victor.
Natalie and Peter had a conversation about how Peter's brother is around again for the first time in a while and he's not thrilled about it; from there, they moved on to discuss intelligence-gathering techniques, which is quite a segue, and how sometimes people express rebellion by dyeing their hair. Yeah, no comment here from the purple-haired girl.
Bay talked to Raven for a bit, and they shared where they're both from and what the initial weirdness that Raven's been exposed to has been so far. And then in a complete divergence from that small-talk stuff, Alec met up with Sparkle, and there was something like an emotional breakdown over temporary vampirism and feeling trapped, which led to them taking a walk. Uh... yeah. Sounds like a good idea.
Finally, after the picnic, some people were hanging out in the dorms. Natalie was looking through language textbooks before Jim came over mostly to remind her of... a time they hung out together, and also to talk about her choice in music. And meanwhile, off in a common room, Jessica was back from work and watching some gremlins dress up.
For new people, gremlins are small animals that try to bite you and make you hallucinate. You're gonna want to Google-image them and use that visual as a guide for what to avoid.
That's it for the news, guys. If it's broadcaster election season, please don't vote for me to do this again. I'd definitely rather sleep.
