Fandom Radio, Sunday, August 10th
So. Hey everyone. This is Flash Thompson, coming to you because apparently the usual girl is, um, a barbed wire trapeze artist or something, so the squirrels needed somebody else to help out. I was on my way to work when they took control of my wheelchair, which doesn't really seem fair.
*chitter*
At least they look ashamed. It's fine, I'll read this stuff. But just to warn you, I didn't exactly go to college to get a communications degree or anything. Also I didn't finish college. I'm not sure why I'm admitting that.
*chitter*
What's that? What're you pointing at? Oh, sure, I'll just stick to the notes.
It looks like pretty much everything is about the carnival, so let's go with the one thing that isn't to start with. Anders, Jack, and Alana finally walked out of J,GoB after a week spent reading every last word of TV Tropes. Seriously? Is that even possible? I don't want to think about how bad they smell after that.
There was plenty of activity in the school library, where Cassidy set up shop for people to get busy researching. Nikolai shot down the usefulness of the children's books about hugging Hannibal found, but the hugging thing seemed to keep coming up. Ichabod found a book about hugging against dark magic and a book hugged Riley's leg.
Was I supposed to keep that quiet? I mean, it's right there on the notes. If that's top secret, it should be labeled... Whatever.
So, the Carnival. I haven't been yet. It sounds horrible. But a bunch of people walked right into the ticket area. Cecil worked to get Navaan to check out dancers, which... that's not like any carnival I've been to. So expectations are already getting a little weird. Kaylin freaked out at Isabelle about some marks on her arms. Nikolai ignored Cecil's sales pitch until he noticed Kathy performing as part of an act. And Cecil pretty much just freaked out Principal Winchester on a couple levels.
Eleanor had an eventful time, first having a fortune teller tell her she'd be experimented on and then getting deaged by a carousel because I guess that happens. That same fortune teller also warned Mercy that someone would hunt her and kill her. Maybe stop using this fortune teller.
Karina was an ice person inside the haunted house where Kathy collapsed because she was hurt, holy crap. Nothing more on that right now?
*chitters*
*pages flipping* Oh. Okay, I guess we'll get to that.
Pinkie Pie was giving pony rides, which sounds at least inappropriate since she's a teacher.
Cade did some illusions, pulling things out of a hat. Sharp things. That he used to attack Jim and Ben. Tamsin tried getting some information from Celia, who was also an illusionist, but Celia disappeared when the questions got too tough. Celia also got a visit from Eleanor, probably before the deaging thing, because Celia made an illusion of Eleanor's mother. I'm guessing that's a bad thing? The squirrels actually wrote out "Ouch."
Jono was a firebreather, which worried Raven. But she wasn't able to talk him into leaving because he didn't recognize her.
Clint had a few visitors at his sharpshooter attraction, and he made quite the statement when he tried shooting Kitty for refusing to be his assistant. Um. He also tried shooting Buffy for the same thing, but she caught the arrow. And Kira was curious, which got Derek to try to get her to leave, which got him an electric arrow for his trouble. But Kira caught that and took the charge, which at least helped Derek get her out of there.
Raven - the student one - was a blue child on the freakshow. That's cruel.
Bo was a dancer in the Temple of Tempation and she did her best to get Tamsin to stick around, but Tamsin wasn't having it. And I think I've found the first thing at this carnival that actually sounds at all appealing.
Annnnd Kathy was at the Temple of Temptation, too. So there goes that. She's a student, come on. Nikolai apparenttly almost gave in, but he managed to keep things legal.
Jessica - your regular radio host - was a high wire act on a barbed wire, and Tamsin just ignored that one. But Isabelle had dumbells thrown at her for challenging Flick's status as carnival strongman.
Tamsin failed to get anywhere with Sparkle, who was running a dart-throwing booth. And that's apparently where Kathy's misfortune started when she won a teddy bear and it mauled her and sent her running... off to Éponine, who tried to get her to play her milk bottle booth game. Poor Kathy.
Bruce was a chainsaw-wielding clown because why the hell not, and Hatter had Irene into his fortune telling booth, where she had some poisoned tea and got away with only minor foaming and vomiting from the mouth.
That's it?
*chitters*
Good. Time to crack open the playbook. People of Fandom, let's give this insane hugging thing a try. I've got a Hail Mary to use if we need it, but I'd rather not bring in the reserves for something like this. Mainly because I'm not sure they'd believe a word of it.
*chitter*
