Fandom Radio, April 14
Cosette: It's awfully quiet around here today, in comparison, isn't it?
Éponine: Yes, but it's a welcome sort of quiet, that's what I think.
Cosette: Be nice about it, 'Ponine. I'm sure there are some people here who are missing their children today.
Éponine: The one time it happened to me, let me tell you, I was happy to send the kid off again. It hasn't happened to me since, though, thank god, and -- what're you sighing for? You can't tell me you're sorry to have missed out on that?
Cosette: Only a little bit. I still can't quite wrap my head around how this all would have worked, though.
Éponine: Best not to think about it much. It'll only make you tired, trying.
Cosette: I suppose you're right. It made for an interesting day in classes yesterday, that's certain. We watched cartoons in Science and Technology, and a movie suitable for children was playing in Mis-Intelligence. We did learn something about taking care of children in Adulting, which seems about right, and Mademoiselle Pryde and her daughter Lexi got to meet Mademoiselle Adler and her son Hamish. Monsieur Lecter had us over to his house to decorate cookies in Baking class --
Éponine: I don't much envy those parents afterward. All that sugar, good lord.
Cosette: It can't be as bad as you make it sound. And Barry had his children with him at the library today. I admit that sounds the slightest bit terrifying.
Éponine: Obi-Wan had candy in his office, which he might also have regretted after tiny Ben -- we've got to make that distinction, it seems -- came to see him, wanting lessons on making noises like a womp rat, for whatever use that is. I'm not sure what one of those is anyway. Irene was having a time of it trying to keep Hamish amused while she kept her office hours. Suppose asking him why he thought having as much hair as she does would make her dizzy wouldn't be the right sort of amusement. And Kitty and Lexi -- good lord, Kitty, I thought you'd know better than to bring home things to make ice cream sundaes with, not with a kid around! I don't blame Clint at all for being concerned about that.
Cosette: Oh, stop it.
Éponine: I won't, thank you. Anakin and Atton took Tebb bowling, but seems as if there was more sulking that went on there than actual bowling. You all have silly names, by the way. Eliot had all three of his children at Luke's today, where they all helped out in the kitchen, but only so long's they behaved themselves, or they'd have to do all the dishes instead. Spike had Eliot help with the dish he was cooking, and worried that his parents would get upset if he wanted to be a chef someday. Useful to have around, chefs, so it's not a surprise that Eliot said they likely wouldn't be upset. Parker asked Joey all kinds of questions about how her parents ended up together, since it seems funny to her that they did, and asked Ada if her parents make them eat vegetables and go to school. I'd rather the latter, myself, I think -- no, don't say it, Cosette, you already do. Hardison thinks meat oughtn't look like the animal it used to be, and that put him off wanting to help with the food even before Eliot started talking about raising chickens, but at least he had a talk with Spike about what his family was like before he came to live with them, or the other them anyhow.
Eliot, in the meantime, got a lecture from Ada about how he shouldn't be frightened at the idea of being a parent. From the look of these notes he seemed to be doing all right at it.
Cosette: Isabelle had her daughter Anna at the park, and asked her about how her weapons training was going. So early?
Éponine: Some folks've got to learn that sort of thing soon. Just because you're surprised . . .
Cosette: No, no, I see what you mean. It only hadn't occurred to me before.
Éponine: Ha! Of course it didn't. I see Monsieur Jack had a fun time of it at the Devil's Nest with Dorian climbing all over things and making a mess. And then -- good lord, what's this stack of notes?
Cosette: Oh! It's all the reports about people going to the park yesterday evening to see the children off again.
Éponine: These pages are blotchy. You squirrels! Were you crying on these?
. . . they won't admit to it, but they look guilty enough if you ask me. Natalie and Peter brought Lilith back so she could go home, and even if they were curious about themselves in the future she wasn't telling. Sia and Four sent Tori home, though Sia wasn't sure why Four thought it was so important to make sure she had chocolate cake.
Cosette: It's a bit like sending someone home with a nice treat, isn't it?
Éponine: I wouldn't know.
Cosette: I -- yes. You're awfully bad-tempered about this, and I don't see why, but all right, then. Ezra had quite the menagerie in tow. Literally, it seems, since there was a fox wrapped around his ankle that was his and Gwen's son, and then there was Ruby who followed his example and turned into a fox, prompting Alana to say she takes after Ezra. Zeke wanted to do the same thing, only he thought he shouldn't as it's supposed to be a secret back home, but Kathy told him it ought to be all right for him to do it here. And Adele hugged Ezra goodbye, while Ronan only lurked nearby.
Éponine: I'm not sure why that amuses you so much, but see if I care. Anders and Nathan sent Leo off with a good bit of hugging, and seemed sad to see him go. Though Anders and Kathy had more of a time of it talking their daughter Carys into going home as she liked it here and wanted to stay. Seems Irene only found out Hamish's full name just before she sent him back home, and thought it was unfortunate. It doesn't sound so bad to me. My little sister got lucky. She was almost named Gulnare.
Cosette: I don't think that name would fit Azelma at all.
Éponine: Indeed not! Imagine that. Honestly. Good lord, there's more. Alex told Julie and Elizabeth that her real parents would be waiting for her when they came out of the portal on the other side and let's hope they were, since it'd be a shame if the other her made a liar out of herself without even knowing it.
Cosette: How do you come up with this sort of speculation? Why are these the things that occur to you? No, never mind, I don't truly want to know. Della seemed excited to get home, until Spike came to say goodbye to her and then they were both a little bit sorry to have to leave. Oh, that sounds like a sweet sort of conversation.
Éponine: It almost does, at that. Parker, Hardison, and Eliot were there, too, to see their children off, and it seems everyone was sad about it, even the squirrels. This piece of paper's still soggy, it is. Is that the last page, then? Oh, good. There's a nice big cup of coffee calling my name before I've got to head off to work.
Cosette: Do you mind if -- oh, she's already gone. Well, in that case, I wish everyone a pleasant day, and hope you all aren't too sad about the children going home.
Éponine: Yes, but it's a welcome sort of quiet, that's what I think.
Cosette: Be nice about it, 'Ponine. I'm sure there are some people here who are missing their children today.
