Fandom Radio, Tuesday, July 3rd

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely: Evening Fandom, you're listening to WTFH Fandom Radio, this is Seely "Got a Fever" Booth and my guest co-host Cuddles. Say 'hi', Cuddles.

Aravis: That's not my name.

Seely: It's your radio name, Bob the squirrel thinks it suits you too, don't you Bob?

Aravis: It's not, and you're confusing the new people.

Seely: You're right, Cuddles. Everyone, just so you know, Cuddles is also called Aravis, but she prefers to be called Cuddles. There, happy?

Aravis: This is Aravis, and anyone who calls me by that other name will find themselves bruised wherever it is most convenient for me to be striking. Now I am marginally happier.

Seely: I like it when you're happy, Cuddles.

Aravis: I don't have to be here.

Seely: But I'm all sick and helpless and stuff...

Aravis: So stop calling me that stupid name and testing my patience. It's not as though I have a lot of it.

Seely: Yes, dear.

Aravis: And stop pouting.

Seely: Meaniehead. *clears throat* Anyway, here's all the news that's unfit to print.

School, where the wild things aren't.

Seely: Not that you'd know that given they're still rebuilding it. Conner and Stark work on it this morning, and are not cheerful in the slightest, hence the lack of whistling. Gwynn brings Conner lunch and they make plans for snuggling, which sounds like a really good idea, don't you think Aravis?

Aravis: ...I'm not discussing that at the moment. *clears throat* Meanwhile, Conner continues to work through the afternoon, and Gwynn is there to watch. Why? Is he doing tricks? It can't be that interesting.

Seely: He's probably shirtless and doing hard, sweaty work.

Aravis: ...oh.

Seely: Yup. In other school news, Isabel is drinking paperwork and doing coffee in the library, as you do. Karal drops in for advice on what not to wear to a beach party, and the answer is clothes that aren't swimsuits, and Sabriel wants books on Texas and the latest Angelica Desmesnes, huh, I'd say her recent works have been slipping myself.


Aravis: Aren't those the dirty romance novels? How would you know that?

Seely: No reason.

Aravis: I don't believe you. And Dean Drax had office hours, and was visited by John Sheppard and someone named Faile. ...that is an unfortunate name, oh dear.

Seely: Who would call their kid that? Okay, Faile? From now on you're going to be called Win!

Aravis: That won't be confusing at all.

Seely: I know, I'm a genius! Anyway that's all the notes for the school, so moving on.

Dorms, where the sick Seelies are.

Seely: River's up in the Fifth Floor Common Room eating fresh fruit. Mmm...fresh fruit. Eve drops in and introduces herself to River, Cedric welcomes her back, then makes fruit dance for her, which is a lot better than turning pillows into cows, don't you think?

Aravis: No, I still think that's one of the best things ever. And Molly is glad that River has returned. Meanwhile, in the third floor common room, Mel watches television. Buffy tells her she is going home for the second session and is offered weapons -- ooh, I'm never offered weapons, though I do arm myself better than with a tiny pointy stick, as a rule -- and Mel tellsShawn to grow facial hair. I still don't think you should, in case you were inspired.

Seely: Maybe you're not offered weapons because you're scary enough without them. Yes, dear, no facial hair, got it. Down in the Salle, Karal plays with his practice sword, not dirty, he meets Sabriel, and gets to know Setsuna a little better, bow chicka wow. Billy also shows up to practice.

Aravis: What is that noise you just made about my roommate supposed to mean?

Seely: ...nothing.

Aravis: You're so odd. Zarine arrived in the preserve and found out where she is, and John who I dislike sent out email. What's the 'e' mean?

Seely: Electronic. Which John is the one you don't like?

Aravis: Crichton. He asked me...things on the telephone.

Seely: Do I have to beat him up or have you already done it? In non-beating related news, Anenmone cuts out pictures and talks art with AJ, and Namine. Zarine comes in to met her new roomie. Also, Annette is emo.

Aravis: Don't beat him up. We have a truce. But thank you for offering, I suppose. Naminé visited Raphael, Gwynn waited for Conner, and Jenny smoked. ...that sounds alarmingly warm.

Seely: Only if she's hotter than you, which I doubt. Rory puts a bow on Anakitty...she named her cat after Professor Luke's Dad? Aeryn drops in, and Rory introduces her to Anakitty. Will meanwhile, works on a welcome to Fandom kit for her little brother.

Aravis: In the fourth floor common room, Billy watches television and is apparently confused enough to mistake an actor for his father, or something. And then in the first floor lobby, there is a meeting of the Johns. I don't understand, really. But all right. Willow attempts to convince John to wear a dress at his wedding. ...why would he?

Seely: Because it fits with his new name of Suzy. Willow-not-a-John-unless-there's-something-Petey's-not-telling-us meets A.J.-possibly-a-John, and breaks his brain. Suzy talks with John Sheppard who now will be referred to as Pardner, because Fred and Frank are too nice names for you two.

Aravis: This is ridiculous. A.J., who might be a John, talks to...erm, Suzy, and...Pardner calls him Leaf. Like as in the things that are on trees? Why? What is wrong with you all? Is it the name?

Seely: Possibly, you don't notice people called Seely doing odd things. Johnny Storm shows up and shows off, Suzy wants to call him Flamey, but I think Good Times is a far better nickname. Blazing Johnny joins the party, and he and Good Times bond over a mutual love of bike stunts. Sam-whose-middle-name-is-John stops in, and is granted the name Dawn's Property.


Aravis: People named Seely only do odd things, and this is making my head ache. Blazing Johnny and Pardner meet and discuss the radio giving people nicknames. Can't imagine where they're getting that one. A.J. also meets the blazing boy, who again sounds a bit uncomfortably hot. Sam and Dean's father stops by and is allowed to keep his name as the senior john, and Sam -- I'm sorry, Dawn's Property, which is a horrible thing to say as he's not anyone's property -- attempts to explain Suzy's actions. Best of luck with that.

Seely: He's her property in the same way I'm your idiot, and Blazing Johnny is nowhere near as hot as me. Besides, it's time for town.

Town, they have zombies.

Seely: And it's yet another opening day, with Mary opening the Arms, Gabe opening the Church, Chad opening Groovy Tunes, and Turtle opening Turtle and Canary, Bart is there to help! And he does it quickly.

Aravis: And Giles opened the Magic Box, and Andrew is perplexed when Giles knows his name. He'd have had a better shot if it was 'John,' though Andrew has my undying affection for not sharing that name. The post office was opened by Annette, who told Pardner about what happened with Dick. He then left her and opened the Photo Hut and was briefly visited by Andrew.

Seely: Pardner teases Molly about kissing someone. Aww, Molly's got a crush, and she's able to rip their arms out of their sockets if they mistreat her. Wilson and Aziraphale go to Ching Tai's for lunch date, while Pardner and Annette go to JGOBs for a pie date. Turtle gets out while the going's good.

Aravis: And elsewhere, Vala rents a room to Barney. In Caritas, Dick and Tino were both drunk. Barney tells Dick that he is a winged man -- finding clothes must be difficult. How fascinating -- and Johnny talks to Dick about the supposed gentler sex. No, I do not know which Johnny. Pick your favorite.

Seely: It's probably Good Times. Aziraphale is mopey at the Nest, which is apparently bad for business, because it's dead, dead, dead there. Except for Lucy playing piano.

Aravis: Is that a game?

Seely: It's an instrument. Over at the Clinic, Christian spends the morning checking out inventory, Stan was there, and Billy visited. In the evening Wilson wrote a paper. Thrilling news.

Aravis: This counts as news, honestly?

Late news, because evidently squirrels can't be bothered to be punctual

Aravis: It seems Hamlet is leaving. Rikku says goodbye and receives some sort of fluffily-trousered being, and Zero asks who will mutiny with them gone. I'm sure someone will carry on that legacy, no matter how many people might say, 'Hey, possibly it's not the brightest idea to take off your clothes for some ambiguous cause in inclement weather.' Call it intuition.

Seely: You'll still give me tea, though, right? Dean is chilling in his room with his cat, when Alec drops in and Dean offers to throw him a mouse, not dirty, but knowing these two, it could be.

Aravis: ...no it couldn't. They're possibly brothers. Molly required Dawn's help to determine what to wear while riding. Well, I'd not wear your finest, but it's certainly possible to ride in anything. Rikku stops in to see Will and ask if they can rescue Valentine, and Conner does not actually stand Gwynn up. Good boy.

Seely: Oh, they're not brothers, and it could, trust me on this one. Finally, Robin helps Giles with a sparkler display for tomorrow.

Aravis: They might be! Cor and Corin didn't realize they were brothers, and then they were. It's possible.

Seely: Aravis, I can't tell you on air, but trust me, I know some good reasons they're not.

Aravis: ...you know, Peter said the same thing. You're agreeing with Peter. Drink your tea.

Seely: You're a meaniehead, Cuddles.

Aravis: It's not my fault you're wrong. And I'm not named Cuddles.

Seely: In any case, that's all the news for this evening, so until next week, this is Seely "My girlfriend is a meaniehead" Booth, and Aravis "Cuddles" Tarkheena, signing off.
