Fandom Radio, Tuesday (2/14)

That was Tegan and Sara with "Closer,", which was not actually the track I chose but you know what, I guess the booth equipment's just feeling it too, huh? That song still totally *[BLEEP]*s, anyway.

*heavy sigh*

Fandom. What's up? Steph here, and don't we all just love this week? Even the --

*questionable squirrel noises*

Oh. Oh god. DUDE, can you not right now? On top of the On Air sign? Seriously. I am not having this. Ugh! Just --

*muffled thud*

... well, at least that's away from the mic and out of sight now. Anyway. How are you all doing, Fandom? Ready for another few days of this? That was rhetorical, by the way. Please do not try to call in and tell me. I swear to you, I really, really don't actually want to know. Sharing is not always caring.

*chittering*

Seriously, Leroy? Just give me the School notes.

Summer had Irene guest lecture the Life Skills class on safe sex, a simultaneously very useful and very unfortunately timed subject given the pollinated circumstances. Dwight canceled Practical Wilderness Survival for reasons I am not going to speculate on, Leroy. Sensory Deprivation Combat Training worked on how to work as a team without being able to hear each other, which sounds... uh... useful.

No Dorms notes, as this piece of paper soaked with tiny porg tears informs me, so on to Town. You know how this goes.

Prompto was watching Puppy Bowl highlights and texting with Liz at the Photo Hut; Connor was keeping himself super busy at the Museum by overhauling a bunch of displays. There are really just, like, two opposite extremes of productivity around here on weeks like this one, huh. Rosa was making preparations to be out of the Diaz & Ass. office all week, which seems like a pretty solid plan.

Sakaki, meanwhile, was... oof, the Furnado rabbits were in on it too. That is... absolutely A Day being had there. Summer had plenty to keep her busy at Turtle and Canary despite how Valentine's got itself all over the store and the paper heart streamers were maybe less than heart-like, let's just say. At the best store in town, I mean, the Magpie Emporium, Vi had some themed -- holiday themed -- displays up, and also talked me out of doing a two-for-one special tonight. Sorry, but... well, you know how it is.

Nell was swamped over at Covent Garden Flowers as is to be expected for, you know, today. Hang in there, Nell, after this you've got a while until -- when's the next big flower holiday, anyway?

*earnest trilling*

...oh. Right. Moving on. Steve McGarrett had the troopers from the station doing laps like a bunch of maniacs because, I guess, if you're all sweaty and exhausted from exertion this week, people can just jump to conclusions as to why? Eddie's workout at the fire station got cut off because this is the kind of week where... let's just say certain kinds of calls are gonna come in more often than usual. And let's just leave it at that.

Raiden had a bunch of heart-shaped pizzas and pizza roses on special at, you guessed it, Pizza Planet, where he tried to talk Connor into something heart-shaped, to at least represent his love of pizza. And then --

It was Shirtless Monday at the Devil's Nest because Eric said so. Not that this is a change from the ordinary for Gladio, although getting the, uh, personal tour of Eric's office was a first. Raiden told Gladio that he figured out what he was hungry for was... I can't say that on the radio but it's not hard to make a reasonable guess today, is it? Stark came in to get a strong drink and... oh, the take-a-number thing was for Eric's private office tour, looks like. I have learned something I'm not sure I wanted to learn. Gladio helpfully reminded Stark it was supposed to be Shirtless Monday but bought him a drink even if Stark opted to remain shirt-ed. But staring at Raiden's shirtlessness, and this note points out that Raiden was actually encouraging Stark to eat literal food, which has to be pointed out because it's not the default this week.

Travis showed up to fill the hot shirtless firefighter part of the Devil's Nest's quota and also. Uh. *ahem* Let's just say Stark enlisted his help with embracing the shirt-free vibe. Travis also took a tour-the-office number after Eric told him a Swedish joke that might have been about a hose, and got... acquainted with Raiden, and I now know far more about all of you than I ever really wanted to.

Oh god, and there's a few more notes to go, too, because Gladio turns out to also be a connoisseur of shirtless firefighters. Oh man, there was this firefighter chick back in Seattle once who -- aaaaaaaaanyway. Eliot showed up, got flamboyantly shirtless, and immediately tried to organize not one but two orgies. Why? Because Eric still has to work with Tiny after this week. Stark thanked Eliot for his birthday drink and -- you guessed it -- was checking him out because that was just the Devil's Nest vibe last night, and Raiden? Also super on board with the orgy idea.

Look, that's absolutely not my scene at all but if I have to know about it now I'm glad you all had fun?

Please hand me that last note so I can finish this and then go make sure I never have to think about this again.

*chittering*

What do you mean, am I sure? It's the Clinic report, Leroy, of course I want to know what the latest Crab Lore update i-- oh.

Of course Stabby was googling sexy crabs. I don't know what I expected. It definitely wasn't that Summer came in to drop off the extra safe sex stuff from her class and have a super loaded, super awkward conversation with Stark, though!

And on that note... I... am super going to find someplace else to be, and forget everything I learned about all of you today. Talk to you all next week, Fandom, when things are less. You know. This way.
