Fandom Radio; Thursday, June 7.
YO, WHAT UP, FANDOM?? Do your ears decieve you? Are you going crazy? Fear not! If you are going crazy, it's got nothing to do with the lovely voice you're hearing over your airwaves ATM, because that's right! It's me, Summer, back for a special edition of Fandom Radio because the squirrels saw I was here for a visit and they missed me so damn much they begged me to come back.
**chittering**
...or, okay, fine, they asked me because my replacement saw the pile of notes they expected her to read and just about nearly passed out. Amaya Blackstone? Not so bold at fifteen as she is at...whatever age she usually is, apparently. So they brought in the big guns. Let's do this, I've got an Econ class taught by a hot junior professor to get to.
Nothing much happening at SCHOOL yesterday, because they're doing that Camp Activity thing now, but Peridot was in the library, trying to design the ultimate paintball weapon.
Oh, sweet, wonderful Peridot. That reminds me, I have a box of things I've swiped from my grampa's lab to give you...you're gonna lose your **BEEP**.
In the DORMS, SPOILER ALERT, Sidon drowned his prize fish from the paintball fight in his sleeping tank.
...I'm so glad I can come back and still read something that completely absurd and ridiculous. You keep staying your beautiful, weird, stupid-as-hell self, Fandom Island.
Over in TOWN, Sparkle seemed to figure things out pretty quickly at Pick your Poison, and Seivarden came in looking for - surprise, surprise - tea. Good tea. Some things never change no matter how young you are, apparently. She also picked up some nice pink glitter for her hair, and that definitely sounds different than the Seivardan whose radios I used to laugh at so hard I'd nearly pee myself but that's awesome. Kathy ducked in to avoid being shot with paintball, which lead to talking about her stategy...or lack thereof...with Sparkle, and then Eventually-to-be-Dr. Lecter waltzed in wondering what they sold, and I think Sparkle's officially dead now, someone go check on that.
Caleb woke up and was surprised to find Hera in his bed, and then got...totally...totally attacked...by...a big scary wolf and fell out of bed...
...I'm am so, so sorry, BDG. Just give me a second, guys, while I try to stop laughing, because this shit is going to get me for a long, long time.
*snickering hidden in a long pause; deep breath*
Okay, I'm good. Thankfully, yes, Hera was there, and she's awesome, so poor little Caleb wasn't too traumatised. Moving on. Kathy was surprised to find so much booze and pizza in her fridge yesterday morning, but I mean, Dante lives there, too, and he was also naked, so that was even more a surprise for precocious little thirteen-year-old Kathy there. And then there was also naked Raven, so I bet Kathy was just having a real good time there, filled with plenty of gawking and pubescent sexual awakenings.
In other awkward wake-up shennanigans, Kitty awoke to find herself cuddling with a teenaged version of her husband with, let's be honest, pretty bad hair, so that should be fun in couples' councelling in a few years.
Seriously, though, can we stop for a moment to talk about everyone's hair? Is that how I'm going to feel about my hair in ten more years? It's a classic ponytail, it's timeless, right?
...right?
**chittering**
Okay, good. Thank you, but I mean, you're squirrels, of course you're biased about bushy tails of hair. Annyway, we've got more people waking up, like Peter, who is a smart, smart man who leaves notes for himself in the case of him becoming a not-as-smart teenager. Liam didn't have a fail-safe like that in place, but seemed content with just scoping himself out in the mirror and heading out to breakfast. Mitsutada wondered if Liam was someone's brother, because, aw, cute, he's new here. But, hey, he's making eggs, so everything's good. Reno's been here long enough to take it all in stride and properly sussed out that the teen in his house was Liam.
Miguel woke up with two questions: one about location, one about breakfast, and we already know Mitsutada has the second one covered. And he tries for the first, too, with mixed results. Liam tried to explain to Miguel that they'd met before while Miguel insisted that he'd never been here before, and, boy, that sounds like a fun one. And Magnus is all bright eyed and bushy tailed for school, because he's a nerd, and they talk about what they're studying, which reveals that Miguel, too, is a nerd. And while Mitsutada may not be Magnus's real dad, he made sure Magnus got the most important meal of the day, so he's honorary Mom, at least. And then Magnus informed Liam of important prison rules. STREET SMARTS!
Outside of MCA, Seivarden's cat wanted to go outside, and so you know how it is with cat. Seivarden and her cat frikkin' went outside. Caleb offered to help, but he didn't need to because Issa the Cat is besties with Stance the dog, so they both chilled out so their owners could, uh, get to know each other with talk of family and tea and war. Emily--whose name, by the way, is in quotes kind of like what I'm putting around Caleb just now--had to hold her dog back from playing with the cat, while she and Seivarden tried to figure out where they know each other from, to no avail.
Here. You know each other from here. Anyway, she also got to talk about dogs and names with Caleb. Ironic, the two of you talking about names.
Over at the C.I.C., Kaiden preferred video game shooting over paintball shooting, and hey! Those are a couple of names I don't know! And Jaina's working the bar at Caritas, getting weird looks from Tino, but I think that's probably just his face. Also, Chelli stopped in to get a drink called lum that she totally didn't choke on, honest. *cough* Also also, Eliot didn't have his wallet when he went to the diner for more food, which is how he ended up cutting onions, which might be marginally better than having to wash dishes. And maybe a little extra as he worked security, catching Parker trying to sneak into the kitchen, leading to a discovery of the madness that is the fridge at Luke's. Just watch out for the sharks, kids.
Okay, finally, we're getting to the main event, the Big Ol' Paintball Free-For-All. Pass over that bottle, guys, I might need a little touch of that.
Everyone kind of arrived and mingled around the selections of particular spicy food before everything got under way, to figure out what was going on, be peer-pressured into participating, or just laugh at everyone else. Kathy was just there to read, but got a lesson on stealing books from Cristina instead. What kind of nerd steals books? Anyway, I showed up and got to meet Caleb, and, oh boy, was that worth the price of admission or what? Kitty got to meet him, too, all thanks to Stance being a wonderful little device for future embarrassment, and she tried to be helpful. I also got the chance to catch up with Rey about her trouble with Portalocity and how I apparently haven't missed much since I've been gone, but I don't know if I really believe her on that one. Sorry, Rey.
Hera and Kitty bonded over their mutual experiences waking up with teenaged dorks with bad...I mean...great, totally great!...hair, and I just had to gush at Hera a little, too. Sabine went to Ashoka for an explaination, smart, and how, weird at it is, being on this island is probably better than being where they're from in a few ways. Cara seemed to be in a bad mood, a mood that was probably not likely to be enhanced when Magnus started talking to her about what they're all doing here.
Kathy was all nervous and squeaky and kind of adorable, really, in attempting to answer Eliot's question about sriracha. And Cristina...this is the one who steals books, for those of you keeping up...thought she was being cool because she was smoking cigarettes, too. What a bad-ass, right? Miguel was right in pointing out that that's dumb. Sorry, Cristina. All the cool kids vape now, anyway. Verity nearly jogged into Liam, which worked out for him, since she gave him tips on the game even though they're on different teams. I caught up with Tip and learned that there are still so many layers of BDG to unpack, while Liam got more paintball...or should I say splatball?...tips from Kaidan. And Jono and Constantine probably exchanged a lot of brooding, drinking, smoking, leather-coat clad nods and chin lifts with each other all day.
Red Team got together to suit up and load up. Tony fussed over Steve to make sure he was okay and had his inhale--wait, THAT Tony and Steve?? How did I miss that? Ugh! And Paris and Tip just try to figure out what's up with Skywalker's bad hair, even though PARIS TOTALLY THINKS HE'S SUPER CUTE, YOU GUYS. Amaya tried to convince Seivarden of the practicality of those awful jumpsuits, while Steve and Tony tried to convince Alec that real paintball is so much better than video game paintball. Verity gets help from Miguel to make some traps, which makes me think they may have been taking this a little too serious, while Sabine and Miguel are just annoyed that Tony's being vague about his thoughts on improving the guns. They need to shoot paint, guys, they really don't need to be more than that. Peter had to stare a little bit at Ahsoka...rude...and Kaidan helped Aloy figure out what the jumpsuits were for.
...how do you not know what a jumpsuit is for?
Anyway, Blue Team assembled, too, and highlights from that group include Kathy asking Skywalker if there's been a mistake. I want to believe she was talking about his hair, but...Well, Jaina at least brought up the hair, it's part of something that helps him lift rocks, I guess. Caleb helped Beaker into his jumpsuit and offered some tips like a good little teammate, while Skywalker, in turn, helped Caleb by explaining the game in general. Hera continued to be awesome in helping a nervous Kathy get more comfortable with the idea of running around and shooting people, even if it wasn't real, meanwhile Emily and Too Cool For School Cristina don't understand the concept of being on the same team and just shot each other. Jesus Chri--
I'm not even eighteen yet, and you guys are making me feel like an old **BLEEP**ing maid over here with your stupid.
Finally, all hell broke loose and the fight began, which included highlights such as a guy in a red bodysuit shooting down a puppety-looking dude and that same red bodysuit guy gunning down his own teammates, but red bodysuit guy can't hide that easily from magic braid nerd...or anyone, really.
In the end, though, as we all know from SPOILERS, it was Sidon the giant red shark prince who came out on top, and how did no one honestly manage to shoot a giant red shark prince, hmmmm? He was lit.er.al.ly the biggest target in the whole damn game.
And what does it say about me that I read that and all I can think is that, man, I do really miss this place. Thanks for giving me a good day to come back, guys. You're all very...very special.
*snort*
