Fandom Radio, Thursday, May 23, 2019
Good morning, everyone, it's Paris Geller coming to you live from a rowboat that I'm not asking too much about.
*chittering*
Leroy assures me Beaker didn't make it, so it has that going for it, at least. Let's get on with the news, okay?
Wednesday class is, of course, the Camp Shenanigans, which were held in the completely flooded park because Dean Skywalker wants us all to get cholera. People arrived and sensibly decided against getting onto risers that were put onto floats. OSHA would have a field day here. Then a bunch of semi-lucky volunteers--voluntolds?--were assigned to four different teams--Mustard, Mauve, Orange-Red, and Magenta--to play something called Blanket Balloon Toss. There was the traditional bitching about the colors of the t-shirts. Dean Skywalker doesn't care. If he did, he would've stopped afer that chatreuse nightmare a few weeks ago. Fjord and Amaya's commisserations about the mauve shirts turned into discussing Amaya's temporary--maybe--cat hair problem because Seivarden turned into a cat and has gotten kind of stuck. Iris and Steve decided that magenta was a pretty good color, all things considered. Octavia and Liam turned in their normal all-black wardrobes for free shirts because hey, free shirts.
Then the teams divided up among four floats--oh, this is going to be a disaster. The first group had individual sling shots for slinging water balloons to their teammates, who had to catch the balloons unbroken in baby blankets. Team Mauve got off to a terrible start, with Fjord having non-water ballon complient claws that kept breaking the balloons until he wrapped his hands up in his ugly shirt. He was aiming at Beaker and Kanan, who were getting covered in water balloons from a very confused Delirium over on Float 3 and it's Beaker, so of course he ended up in the water. So did Fjord, thanks to Beau. Team Mauve never really recovered, but Beau got Mustard out to an early lead. Sidon was very enthusiastic because he's Sidon, but it took him a little bit of time to get accurate with his balloon throwing and his...Sidon-ness made it tough for everyone else on Float 1 to stay standing. Tip, who was supposed to be catching Sidon's balloons, made sure everyone realized how ridiculous it was to catch a balloon with a blanket. Miguel was lead-off for Team Orange-Red and any rumors of balloons covered in spider webbing were totally accurate.
Float 2 then had to baby blanket-chuck the balloons to Float 3. This is the stupidest game ever. Kanan and Beaker of the hopeless Team Mauve were getting drenched in glitter balloons from Delirium of Team Orange-Red but eventually managed to launch their balloon at Rosa and Keyleth. Sabine and Mae were sinking over on Float 3 waiting for Tip and Iris to get it together. Billy and Summer aimed their Team Orange-Red balloon at Shuri and Delirium, but had to get Delirium to stop having a water balloon fight with Kanan and Beaker first. And Float 3 wasn't floating all that well, but that wasn't stopping Rosa from taking this way too seriously for Team Mustard. Delirium was trying to get Team Orange-Red's balloon to richochet off of everyone on Float 4 but Shuri just wanted to make it go away, and Lana was impatient over on Float 4 for Prompto and Liam to stop falling into the water and get the balloon over to her.
Finally, Float 4 had to launch the balloon all the way back to the idiots who started it all and Team Magenta won because it was anchored by Biceps McTightshirt and the scary lady from Cutthroat Games so of course they took this too seriously. Plus they were aiming at Sidon and you have to be really, really bad at this to miss Sidon. Amaya and Nina were trying to aim back at poor Fjord, who was still recovering from his encounter with the water and with Beaker and so...well, that's why Team Mauve was last. And Wayne didn't see what everyone was all that fussed about because clearly this is what he does for fun all the time or something.
*chittering*
Okay, I might have made that last part up. Anyway, congratulations to Team Magenta, and never let any of these people near the water again.
In the rest of town, Summer was having mermaid themed drink specials at Caritas, but you could only get into the bar through the bathroom, so most people passed. Sparkle and Hernando were celebrating Sparkle's birthday but the squirrels took one look at the food selection and begged off due to sugar shock. Liam and Verity caught a portal out of town to someplace presumably not covered completely in water. Or floats. Or involving water balloons and baby blankets.
And...that's it. Go to class.
