Fandom Radio, Tuesday, December 9th

Karla: You're back. Why are you back? Go back to the island. I'm kind of busy here.

*Chittering*

Because the scary lady who flangs now has guns and you do not want? Flangs? That's not a word, do you mean fangs?

Chittering*

Did you just compare me to Autocorrect? Well, your mother was a hamster, how you like that?

*Emphatic chittering*

Oh, yeah? How'd you like to become a pair of mangy gloves? I'm sure I can think of several people I don't like that could use a squirrel-skin muff.

*Angry chittering*

You take that back right now or I'll--

Lord Mallory: Lady, please could you stop arguing with your, err, guests? Winsol is only a few weeks away and we still have much to finalize for our celebrations.

*Smug chittering*

Karla: No, you're not guests, you're drunken annoyances. He's my Steward, he was just being polite. But fine. Hand over the notes and we'll get this done. I suppose it can't be any more annoying than going over aristo correspondence.

In School, Anger Management finished up their semester with a party that featured hypoallergenic puppies. D'awww. And for a complete emotional 180, Modern American History covered the 2000s with a trip to the 9/11 Memorial. Then in 'I'm not even sure how to react to this,' Teamwork had a bit of Q&A about next week's final before heading down to the gun range, which might also be practice for the final. Not sure what the two have to do with each other, but my friend Triela would have been pleased by that. At the range, Cade wanted to know how many people had gotten guns from the vending machines, while Surreal wanted to know why there weren't machines handing out more close-range weaponry.

Okay, one, I am so not surprised that Surreal would prefer that. And two, what the Hell do you mean, gun vending machines?!

I'm not even going to ask, except for how I'm totally going to ask if there's not more of an explanation coming in these notes. Continuing on, Care For Magical Creatures skips the bit about magical creatures to try to figure out what's going on and see if anyone's put together a theory. No one really does, but neither Karolina or Evan are really comfortable with whatever's going on, especially since there's another vending maching--in the dorms?!?!

Okay, so, on the off-chance none of the faculty have heard about this before, there's a gun vending machine in the dorms. That should, oh, I don't know, maybe not be there?

Loki greeted Thor, but I'm kind of whatever about that, because guns. In the dorms. Where there shouldn't be. In his office, Riley had some money boxes and was reworking his lesson plans for tomorrow, just in case.

It looks like the Library got a bunch of visitors, cementing the whole 'things are getting weird in Fandom' vibe that people have been getting. A bunch of people came in to do research, and I doubt it was for a class--because, you know, Fandom classes. Anyway, Billy was looking up some new people to the island, and he tells Karolina that one of them has a statue somewhere. Billy also tells Alana that he thinks he's found their home planet. Karolina borrows Riley's computer to try to look up information that can't be found on our own multiverse's internet. Riley's apparently an electronics whiz, because Raven brings him a communicator she found, which has quotation marks and winking emoticons next to it. I'm guessing 'found' isn't the right word to use.

And, in a fit of sanity, Constantine brings out a sign for Shira to put up as a reminder than guns aren't allowed in the library. Especially not guns that you can buy in a vending machine in the dorm. Hell's fire and Mother Night, I hate Decembers on the island.

There was also a random and unexpected radio broadcast by a Mr. 'Handsome' Jack and even ignoring the fit the squirrels are throwing about him hijacking their airwaves, this guy seems like a total jackass. He seems to think we're a tiny little town that never sees any excitement. Isn't that just cute? Guess who didn't do research of his own?

I'm not seeing any notes for the Dorms, but that's probably because everyone was either in the Library or over in Town. The staff at Luke's were telling Gert all about cup-pies, which is something I'd try, and Hanna made it into work at Demon Marcus, even though things are getting weird.

Over in the Preserve, there are Hyperion workers making a bunch of noise. Topher tried to find out what they're digging for, and a guy with a gun shoos him off. Look, I'm not a big fan of Topher myself, but I'm pretty sure there's no call for pulling a gun on a student. Surreal apparently wanted to extend the holiday spirit to the workers by bringing over some wreaths to share. How... *suppressed snicker* ...kind. She also got told to leave, but I'm sure that she accomplished her goals. Of spreading tidings of comfort and joy, of course. A careless worker was given a communicator to call someone named Baker, but he lost it. I believe that's when another student found it and...brought it back to the dig site.

Lord Mallory: But, my lady, didn't you mention a student in the library who--

Karla: STILL IN TOWN, WE HAVE FLICK LOOKING FOR MORE MONEYBOXES. Eponine joins him and they wonder if the money is from the island being generous. In my experience with the island, guys? The answer is no. Loki is certain they'll find the hidden price for the seemingly free money soon, and he is totally right. Everything has a price, guys. Everything.

Bo punches a vending machine outside of the Perk, but instead of coffee, it gets her a gun. Charming. Kenzi seems Bo with a gun and a mighty need for coffee and offers to buy the next round, because sense of self-preservation. They also discuss the possibility that the guns are there in hopes that people will be incredibly stupid and start taking one another out, leaving the island to be easy-pickings for any random hypothetical corporation that wants it. Derek and Bo talk about what a terrible idea it is for cheap guns to be available to anyone--because it is--and Kenzi undermines her self-preservation instincts from before by throwing tinsel at Derek and offering to take his money boxes off his hands.

At the Wayne Foundation, Maddie is looking into organizations opposing gun violence, and Bruce promises to do what he can to get rid of them. Just remember, folks, vandalizing and wanton destruction is never, ever an answer. Really. Nope. Not at all. *coughs* On the other side of the gun enthusiasm spectrum, Cade is cleaning his new guns at Stark's when Raleigh stops by to check out his arsenal. Over at Turtle and Canary, Mike Ehmrantraut puts in an order for more hunting equipment because the only way to fight guns is with more guns?

Jack Priest brings his shiny new gun to the Devil's Nest, but the DJ and Tiny make him lock it up in a safe. Good. Kitty drops by and they try to figure out who is behind the gun vending machines. At Caritas, Tino and Kenzi both have guns and gun-themed drink. Kenzi, can you even use a gun? Can Tino? Bruce isn't thrilled with the theme or the guns and tells Kenzi to be careful and safe with hers.

Look, folks. Unless you know how to use a gun, you shouldn't have one, no matter how cheap and easy they are to buy. Otherwise, you're just going to end up hurting innocent people with them. Or yourself. Or both. If nothing else, maybe you should try to figure out who's handing guns out like candy before buying a bunch? Shocking, I know, but not everyone has the purest of motives, okay?

And if anyone wants to get off the island before things get weirder, take a portal to Glacia. If your instincts are telling you to bail, do it. Don't worry about the cost of a portal. We'll find some way to cover it.

Good luck, stay safe, and remember that Caritas has anti-violence wards.
