Fandom Radio, Tuesday, October 15th
Adrian: Good morning again, Fandom, it's me once again, Adrian Blackwood; I guess I'm stepping in for Miss Finch until she's feeling a bit better. Sorry to Yelena, but just me alone this week; Boston is catching up on some of the sleep he missed last week, but thank you to everyone who sent concerns and well-wishes and also fish to help cheer him up. Anyway, I've got my notes and my tea has finished steeping, so let's get to it!
Today at School--
*sound of studio door getting flung open, running feet, and gasping breaths.*
Adrian: Great Forest, what?!
Arden: Sorry! Sorry! Late! *some more deep breaths.* Here! I'm here! Running. Not my best idea.
Adrian: It's all good. Also, um, hi? I'm Adrian. I'm guessing you're Arden? The squirrels showed up at my house this morning? With a note that said you still needed coverage and I was it. So if you were just worried about nobody being here, I've got it, you can head--
Arden: No! Mine! *moment of very audibly chagrinned silence* Um. Sorry. Came out wrong. I meant... *deliberate slow, deep breathing* Yeah, this is my shift. And I appreciate you covering for me. But I got it.
Adrian: Sounds good! I've got more hot water in the back if you'd like me to make you another cup before I go? It's lemon balm, so it should help keep your voice from getting strained.
Arden: That's be great, thanks. So what up Fandom? It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, back after a little upset last week, but I'm doing fine. Thanks much to my sub, Mr. Blackwood for doing a great job last week and for stepping up again this week, even though the squirrels didn't have to be like that, just because I was a little late.
*angry squirrel noises.*
It's fine, I'm not even listening to you, I'm pulling out the notes for School, where The Various Gods & You was cancelled. Next up, second-- *coughing*, that is second-- *more coughing* second-- *coughing* Son of a BLEEP!
*A cacophony of protesting squirrel noises, some sounding much more smug than the others, and also very pitiful porg sounds. It is very loud for a second.*
Adrian: Whoa, hey, whoa! Okay, so rodents and...bird? Thing? Quiet for a second, Miss Finch isn't going to sound any better with you all yelling at her. Okay, so first of all, that cough, not actually sounding like something you need to be worried about. My best guess is that your vocal cords and throat got irritated when you ran in here and that's why the coughing. It's not coming from your chest, right? Just hurting your throat?
Arden: Yeah....Are you a doctor?
Adrian: Nope. Witch.
Arden: Explains the hat
Adrian: It's a good hat! But anyway, I'm happy to head out if you'd like me to. With more tea and not feeling crowded or rushed by anyone else in the room, you'll probably get through it fine. But, also...I'm already here? Single broadcast team-up?
Arden: *A croaking noise that is probably supposed to be 'yeah' followed by a frustrated huff*
Adrian: Whenever you're ready to take over, the notes are yours until you want to drink some more tea. But, okay! Third time's a charm! We start with School, where The Various Gods & You was cancelled in honor of Indigenous People's Day and remember Fandom, it's not actually vandalism if it's a statue of Columbus and no one's around to see you! And, most metal statues don't do well being doused with salt water, just as an FYI. Causes bronze disease and that is very hard, if not impossible to get rid of--
Arden: *sudden, much louder, coughing fit.*
Adrian: Oh, right, apologies. Let me get a move on. Fast Talking watched a movie and in Sex and Sexuality talked about ways to keep safe on dates and in places like bars, especially with drinking, and, wow, I hate that that's something that that needs to be taught, but good on them for tackling the topic. The only other note from the class is about how the teachers were giving you some concerned looks?
Arden: You know, I'm feeling better. Time for me to take over for a bit, starting with the Dorms we don't have any notes for, other than the note that says...yeah, y'all know the drill by now. And that brings us to Town, where Vi had an energetic morning of chasing her own tail, before turning back to human again, much to Steph's relief. In the Park, Ms. Skywalker was practicing getting shot at by laser balls and I'm sure that makes sense to other people. And that the squirrels could have written it down pretty much literally any other way, but chose that one to be jerks. There was some kind of 'indestructible giggling monstrosity' at Infinite Consortium that tried to to kill her a lot, but she killed it first.
Adrian: There were so many things in that last paragraph I both do and deeply do not want further information on. But I'm being passed the notes, so I guess I'll just think about that instead. Except I can't, because Dean--
Arden: Hi Dean!
Adrian: --stopped by to get some books and they talked about how he isn't allowed to die again because it might stick this time, and then Liliana offered to kill some angels for him if he ever needed her to, before he left talking about Ass Mouths and by this point, I'm pretty sure this is either an elaborate practical joke or a truly impressive piece of performance art. Pick Your Poison's Pam perused plenty of paper productively prepared by--
Arden: Nope, alliteration is Stewart's thing.
Adrian: I would argue that alliteration is a literary device, but I'm starting to lose my grasp on reality with these notes anyway. Would you like them back?
Arden: Sure, especially since then I get to to talk about how Kamala - hey Kams! - was once again, going above and beyond the call of internship duty at Stark Industries, staffing the Starbucks while gremlins were working on something else. Ms. Nell was at Covent Garden Flowers planning desserts for the evening and Professor Not-The-Rich-One-Stark got to admire Stabby's sweater at the Clinic. And we close out with Watts and Steven - hi! - celebrating Thanksgiving at Midnight, and these notes look like it was a very sweet and warm holiday with mentions of who and what they're thankful for, and I'm not reading any further, either to myself or for y'all, because privacy is actually a thing people can have.
Adrian: Whew! And we're done! And you're sounding much better.
Arden: Thank you, the tea really helped. And also being able to take breaks.
Adrian: You're quite welcome for the tea. Is that everything...?
Arden: Hang on, my outro! Okay Fandom, that was all of yesterday's gossip there is to hear, so this ia ya girl Arden Finch, leaving you here with VIOLA's Drinking With Cupid to send you out on your way. Have a good day, y'all! Gonna say bye, Mr. Blackwood?
Adrian: Enjoy your day, folks!
[So this is actually the cut down and edited version because I did just kinda lose my mind with this. Fortunately, sanity regained a hold and I cut out a bunch. If you want to read the entire ridiculous thing, it's posted over here in Arden's journal.]
