Fandom Radio - Saturday, September 6
"What's this then?"
*chitter*
"Yes, I can see it's a radio booth, but what are we doing here? You said you needed me for something vitally important. At least I think that's what you said. You weren't saying something about acorns and the mambo, were you?"
*chitter*
"Ohhh. I don't know, I'm not much for broadcasting. Well, there was that one time, okay a few, but they were for very good reasons, like freeing the people of New Earth and that one time because I was very, very bored."
*chitter*
"Well when you put it that way. Is that light meant to be on? Oh right. Hello, Fandom! This is the Doctor. Who are we broadcasting for? Right. WTFH radio and does anyone smell rum? I swear this place smells like rum. Hang on a second. Yep, even the desk here tastes like rum. I just tried it. Old school rum, not any of the new flashy stuff. There are notes? I can't just talk about my day or play some music? Could get some Britney Spears out.
CLASSES: The Fun Stuff
On a Saturday? Nope. No classes. Moving on. Wait! Wait wait wait. The library was opened by someone named Mac. That's the academic spirit! Getting in some study on the weekend. And in the first week too. Were you really that bored? No, no, good job, good for the future. She wasn't alone, either. Professor Jones was there with some coffee. Which one is he? She? We had one Jones, but she's gone, isn't she? Professor Jones is a man? Oh. Well, whoever you are, make yourself known so I don't imagine you in a dress with pearls. Toshiko Sato - why is that name familiar? - came in to get a library card and indulged in a little coffee. Good old caffeine. Can't have enough of it, can you?
What else? Aha! Dean Aly threw darts at her wall during her office hours. I suppose that's one way to pass the time. You should get a golf putter. Most pointless game in the universe, but a great way to spend a few hours. Hitting things and chasing after them, then hitting them again. Not in your office of course, but it's good practice. Moving on!
Oooh Saturday Science Lab. The L lets the alliteration down. It should be Saturday Science Superbowl. It's not technically correct, but it'll get more attention that way. Sam Carter - that name's familiar too - unpacked some equipment, got a visit from Aly where they talked about the future and timelines. That's where I know her from. Wedding physics! Aaaand Rikku, who for some reason I feel should have a snappy nickname, came to ogle the equipment and talk to Sam about explosives. All good fun.
That's enough of that. We've got two more sections to get through. Allons-y!
SCHOOL: Gossip Central
Didn't we just do that? Ahh I see. The non-class, non-library, non-office hours stuff. Let's see...okay, we'll do the run of the mill stuff, then the venom-induced soap opera after that. Everyone loves a good love story to wrap a section up. Okay! Harvey decided it was a brilliant idea to combine grilled cheese, scrambled eggs and currency. Not currants, which would be a bit yuck, but otherwise normal, currency. Lee was drawn in by the food, not the money, and met Harvey for the first time and cook advantage of his kindness and cooking skills. If you say so. Currency. Seriously. Teddy joined the breakfast party to keep Lee company and to tell everyone to avoid the new mayor. What's wrong with him? This one-way broadcasting thing is frustrating, you know, I ask all these questions and no one can answer me. I could use my sonic screwdriver to..."
*chitter*
"But I could..."
*chitter*
"It's deadlocked? Why didn't you say so in the first place? Dick - can I say that on air? - oh it's his name. Right. Dick and Lee discussed the very important business of free food and ordering pizza. Really, does anyone care what Dick or Lee think about food? If they did, they'd probably have their own TV cooking show, like that guy that swears all the time or the one with the lisp. I keep getting distracted. Let's get past the food. Teddy met Harvey for the first time and they talked about good ol' New York. Dick decided to be sociable and meet Teddy and Harvey and I think we're just about out of meetings for the day.
In the same room, but a few hours later (this isn't the love story, we'll get to that), Tony got in on some studying. Maybe he should catch up with Mac who opened the library. They could study together. Oh I see. He was studying for a play, not actual homework. Seregil was kind enough to bring that up in conversation so the squirrels could write it down and now I'm telling you. Myn didn't understand why the TV was flat. Because TVs often are. Ahh Myn's used to three-dimensional holograms, but Tony cleared up the confusion. Lola, who has a name that rolls off the tongue, Loooola, Lola, Lolla, Lo- sorry. She got an explanation out of Tony about what he was doing and apparently he worked on TV, which is very impressive and attracts all the girls. Well, at least Lola so far. It's something to work on.
Down in the gym, that's G-Y-M, not J-I-M as in a boy, Cal was working out. The squirrels don't seem to be very surprised by this. Ben joined him and decided to get some aggression out on the punching bag. Apparently the drunk skunks from yesterday, as opposed to the drunken squirrels from today - put that down, you've had enough - are being taken in Ben's stride. Good man. Temari joined Team Muscles, but was scared off by the treadmill, so she talked to Ben about the desert instead. Not a big fan of treadmills, myself. Temari and Cal seem to have some sort of spark between them, because Temari seems pretty put out by Cal having a girlfriend named Amber. Stay tuned as this unfolds over the next week! That's how it works on Westenders, anyway.
Ender - small kid, surly expression - found Ichigo unresponsive. That doesn't sound good. He carried him into town and Chad found them. Hopefully on the way to the clinic.
In happier news, and one that doesn't involve a doctor's visit, Dean visited Alice. Unless Dean is a doctor. I don't think he is. Tell me next week in class if you are. They had a little chat about Hannibal and canoodling. Maybe not canoodling, but I really felt like saying 'canoodling'.
Amber who is Cal's girlfriend was memorising her lines, Robin (the frog, not the woman, I'm told) made some phone calls, and Rikku and Dojima got into a tiff over Rikku's earlier argument with Romeo. Apparently lying to your significant other about your job is a bad thing.
Meg and Peyton, my other TA if memory serves me right, were feeling artistic and painted their room. The topic of discussion was Brooke, Lucas and another guy she's still interested in. Brooke decided to give the girls a hand and talk about boys that are off-limits and this is beginning to feel like an episode of Two Shrub Bush. Not that I've ever seen that show. At all. Meg met Brooke and I don't think I quite catch the meaning, but they talked about - no, not boys for once - ending up on the cover of People magazine. Everyone needs a goal, I suppose.
And in the last bit of dorm gossip news before we get to the love story of the ages, Kaylee woke up and assured Ned she was just hungover, not sick. I don't know. Hangovers involve being sick, so it's really a bit of both.
Okay! The story you've all been waiting for. We'll go in chronological order, I think. It's a new thing for me. Karal and Altra were heading out for tea this morning, minding their own business. Then John came along and our intrepid trio ran into a gremlin. What does this mean for our heroes? Well, not heroes so much as victims really, because they were bitten and had venom injected into their bloodstream, which made them hallucinate and think they were madly in love with Gavin Darklighter. Or it brought out latent feelings and overwhelmed them. It's really hard to tell.
They headed off to Gavin's room to declare their love, only to find out they were both mad for the same guy. Jealous bickering ensued. Jo went to see Gavin, but found his two suitors and couldn't pass up a good laugh, so she stuck around to torment them. Just a little. John wasn't happy about the competition and tried to get Jo out, then tried to tell Inara he was taking her man, and then told his girlfriend Jaina to leave and go and wait for them to have A Talk. That's with capital letters A and T, so you know it's not a good thing. More on that in a minute. Evey walked into the chaos and was recruited by John to get Karal to shove off, but instead Karal got Evey to leave and that he'd talk about their inevitable break-up so he could get together with Gavin later.
I think I understand why the rum is here now.
Next came a big scuffle over Gavin's hairbrush, the contents of which John ate to claim dominance over Gavin's possessions. Even his loose hair. Gremlin venom. Strong stuff. Gavin showed up, Altra stepped in and removed the effects of the venom (you cheeky devil) and, as anyone would after realising they've been completely and utterly humiliated, John and Karal made a hasty retreat.
Unfortunately for the boys, they still had their disgruntled girlfriends to deal with. Ask them about it tomorrow. I'm sure they'd love for it to be brought up as often as possible.
TOWN: There's Really No Place Like It. No, really.
On the home stretch now! Let's start off with the businesses. Toby, who I remember oh so well from summer and am not likely to forget any time soon, opened Pixie Dust and lounged shirtless on the counter with a drink. Some things don't change.
The Trooper Station was full of activity with Sheriff Mustang ploughing through paperwork and then discussing the finer points of island security with Cable. Don't underestimate the powers of a good guard dog.
Viki and Jack were at The Arms Hotel, but Jack was more interested in the specials board than Viki.
Hurley opened Groovy Tunes for his first day on the job, talked to Murdock about being from the past and how Deadpool is crazy, got a late arrival from Chad (probably after the Ichigo thing) and managed to irritate Edward by questioning his age. Some people are touchy about the subject.
Penelope decided that playing in the rain at the Park was a good idea, but she wasn't as into splashing in puddles as Jack and Robin were.
Adam thought that investigating the new empty warehouses might be a good way to spend the morning. Looks like he might have a tag-along, since Jack was there too, snooping around.
York Gallery, like Pixie Dust, was opened by a shirtless boy. Kevin this time, who's also memorable, not Toby. There's an exhibit, so any budding artists should get down there. Tomorrow. Not now. It's late and they're probably closed. Charlotte hasn't learned yet, and asked why Kevin was practicing carpentry with very small nails. It doesn't say whether she got a suitable answer. Sean found himself ensnared by all that is Kevin and asked about his sister submitting some art work. Aaaand yep. Should have seen that coming. Toby arrived, wet and shirtless, and I'm not reading the rest of that. If you've seen them, you know what happened next. Come on. Worse than Harkness...
Pizza Planet! It was open and Jen was there, albeit inside a fort made of tomato sauce cans.
Turtle & Canary for all your amphibious and avian needs had a hungover manager who was a big fan of coffee and chewable asprin. Miss Bennet arrived in search of loose tea and ink, Marco came in and was obnoxiously cheerful - that's the way to go - and Jeff with a J not a G and O came in brandishing a jam sandwich. I've seen some things in my time, but someone brandishing a jam sandwich in a way that makes a squirrel impressed enough to write about it is a first.
Book Haven had a Fiyero writing like a madman. Oh, Fiyero is a name! I thought it was a type of car. Liir turns Fiyero's day around though, with a touch of conversation and a smattering of relationship advice.
Cafe Fina has animate objects that should be inanimate. At least, I think that's what's going on, since Kurogane was beaten at chess by a cheese grater. Warren, the one with the scowl constantly on his face, interrupted to ask about a job.
Down at Chilly Boulder Ice Creamery, remind me to stop by there later, Murdock was giving instructions on how to make a proper root beer float, and not foot beer roat as I first read it. Fiyero introduced himself and talked to Murdock about his son and, presumably, root beer floats.
At 33 Apocalypse Ave, Miss Bennet was home writing letters. Either they were interesting enough to be broadcast about, the squirrels have a thing for Miss Bennet or I'm stuck in purgatory and will soon be reporting about someone clipping their toenails. No offense, Miss Bennet. And no offense to Sam and Peter, who had a quiet night in at Nathan's and Aly and Roy who both have three letters in their names and end with a Y, which is the perfect basis for a relationship. They had a quiet night in too, for anyone who was wondering.
Can I go now? Yes, I can see there's a bit more to go, but is it really necessary? It is. And if I do this, you'll stop throwing nuts at the TARDIS? Promise? Deal. Ino took both shifts at the Clinic and - aha, good news - Ender brought in Ichigo for treatment. Chad stopped by for a visit, got an interrogation from Ino for his troubles and then ran away when Ichigo started swearing. Well, at least he's awake.
And last, but certainly not least, popular radio personality Jaye opened Caritas on what I hear is her last night. She got a pirate for her troubles.
That's it! I'm the Doctor, you've been listening to WTFH radio, I'm off to get some ice cream - no, not rum and raisin - and will leave the rum-swilling to the squirrels. Here, have some music."
Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?
*chitter*
"Yes, I can see it's a radio booth, but what are we doing here? You said you needed me for something vitally important. At least I think that's what you said. You weren't saying something about acorns and the mambo, were you?"
*chitter*
"Ohhh. I don't know, I'm not much for broadcasting. Well, there was that one time, okay a few, but they were for very good reasons, like freeing the people of New Earth and that one time because I was very, very bored."
