Fandom Radio, Monday, March 2

[likethegun]

Sam: Good evening, Fandom. I think it's safe to say I'm not the only one wishing I was back on a cruise ship right now.

Dean: Yeah it was a pretty awesome spring break.

Sam: It was a warm spring break.

Dean: Being in the Caribbean does that.

Sam: If I say it's kind of nice to get back into the swing of classes though, are you going to glare at me?

Dean: More like roll my eyes.

Sam: Good, I think I can deal with an eye roll.

Dean: Geek.

Sam: Awww, thanks Dean.


The School

Sam: Business 101 class talked about how to be a good manager and what kind of managers the students are.

So You Want to Make a TV Show looked at the camera equipment used for television and even got to play with some of it. Then they got their own cameras to use for the next week, and Hannibal and Adora didn't waste any time in starting to figure them out and play around.

Sex Ed class talked about the evils of peer pressure, although Priestly and Alice were more focused on Mr. Rogers' mention of Nazi bees. Yeah, I can understand why. Their assignment was to try to pressure each other into eating bacon cookies, which confused Liir since he likes the cookies. I'd say he's alone there, but I can think of at least one other person who might like them.

Dean: Hey, just because I'm open to new food experiences...

Sam: Some things are not meant to be combined into a food product. It's not safe.

Dean: Wimp.

Sam: I've learned to let you eat weird food first to make sure it's not deadly, that's all I'm saying. Mad Kings and Queens class talked about Vlad the Impaler and whether he was actually crazy or just really efficient at protecting his country through whatever bloody means necessary. Cal was back in the library for his shift, and Amber came in to check out some books on journalism, leading to a very awkward checking-out conversation. Ino came in too, blaming Cal for the fact that she got talked into doing a presentation for history class. Awww, you make it sound like extra credit work is a bad thing.

Dean: It is, for normal people.

Sam: Not if you're doing something fun.

Dean: Like I said, for normal people.

Sam: Yeah, fine, I'll just sit here in my dorkitude. The Blank Page Art Club played around with sculpture materials today, and over cookies, Angela told Savannah about her accidental marriage on the cruise and Hannibal being irrationally mad about it. Maybe sleeping with Chuck is affecting his sanity?

Dean: It's possible. They say syphilis can get into your brain and make you crazy.

Sam: That would explain the irrational behavior all right. The Young Entrepreneurs talked about what makes cruises financially successful, since everyone's mind was still on spring break, and Turtle was very glad to see that Ned brought pies to the meeting yet again. Lady Ghanima and Tyler spoke during his office hours, about getting aggression out through fighting, and Minsc was right back to the grind, reading reports.


The Dorm

Sam: Dojima spent her morning trying to keep her cat from attacking her notes and her chocolate. Triela asked her how her break was, not having heard about Romeo and Angela's wedding, and asked her about possibly going shopping later. Reno came by as well, and Dojima tried to convince him to stop being mad at Romeo and give him a second chance.

John interrupted Chuck's morning of video games to tease him, and somehow they didn't get into a fight. That does sound kind of miraculous. Dinah, in need of advice, made the brilliant decision to call Peter, and he went over to talk to her and help her out. Francine also visited, bearing cookies, and she and Dinah talked about Katina's almost-wedding. I'm starting to think I should have spent more time hanging out at the chapel to see the good stuff.

Dean: If you had, you probably would've ended up married the way things were going.

Sam: At no point on the cruise was I that drunk.

Dean: I guess I'll have to take your word for it since you didn't end up in the ship's brig...

Sam: I was well-behaved the entire time, I swear. Arthur was brooding in his room. Leto tried to make small talk, but after he realized Arthur was in a bad mood, Arthur got pissy at him. Merlin came by too, and I can only assume he got treated similarly.

Jaina wasn't in a good mood either, until she went to see John and helped him shave. That can't possibly not be dirty, really.

Over in the salle this morning, Arthur worked on training Dinah and Alice. He told Dinah that with Alice around, they could work on defense as well as sword work, and when Alice showed up, Arthur asked her about how much experience she already had, and about the blade she uses. Dinah was interested in the blade too, as was Leto, who came to watch the practice and explained to Dinah that he won't fight Arthur himself until Arthur's arm is healed. After the practice, Dinah told Arthur about something she hasn't mentioned before in their training sessions, and he was not happy about it at all. But then, from the sound of things, I don't know if there's much that does make him happy.

Hurley was camped out in the fifth floor common room this morning, with Oreos and a TV marathon, and when Jeff found out that the show had to do with strippers, he got settled right in for the marathon too.

And in the evening, Emmett made peanut butter chocolate brownies to share up on the fourth floor. Ben complimented him on how the brownies tasted compared to what he gets at home, and Mac made sure they weren't special drug brownies before taking one. Ben and Mac talked about how awesome their classes are, which does not make them nerds, squirrels.

Dean: No, it makes them geeks.

Sam: That's not what I meant.

Dean: Just go on with the notes. Geek.

Sam: Jerk. Cal and Mac discussed how good brownies are for curing post-cruise depression, and while Cal was suspicious of Emmett because he wasn't eating any of the brownies he made, he took one anyway. Cal and Ben talked about the KKG and the possibility of satellite building and Buffy used the brownies to console herself about not being on the cruise too. Triela caught up with Cal to see how he's been, and turned down Emmett's offer of a brownie, because she's not a fan of sweets. More for everyone else then!

Dean: Angela was up on the roof this evening with hot chocolate. She refused Chuck's offer of pot as well as his offer of sex. May I just say that my little sister here is showing excellent taste in doing so?

Sam: Yes, you can say that if you want to.

Dean: I do. After all, you don't want to catch syphilis and go crazy. Hurley and Angela discussed how one of them got married and the other dropped the ILU bomb -- wow, nice slang, squirrels-- and how neither of them got good results. Amber offered to listen to Angela talk and they came to a decision that a rule is needed that what happens on a cruise stays on a cruise. Sounds like a good rule to me.

Amber also apologized to Hurley for being drunk and wild the other night. That would fall under the newly declared Stays on the Cruise rule, I think.


The Town

Dean: Down in town, Daisy had a new dolphin decoration on her desk at the trooper station, Lacey was maniacally cheerful at Luke's Diner, and there was no music at Groovy Tunes because Chad had a hangover. Ender was itching to get back to work at Stark Industries, and Ben was also feeling twitchy and came by to get parts for his lightsaber.

Liz was back to work at the Arms Hotel and Romeo opened Pixie Dust, and called his buddy Benvolio for help on ending his marriage to Angela. Can't be that hard to get an annulment, can it?

Sam: For their sake, I hope not.

Dean: Worf was in a really bad mood at the Wellspring Arms and had a sparring session with Reno. Wonder if that improved his mood any.

Jack Sparrow managed to escape his squirrel captors and was sneaking through the park. Branching out into new hobbies, guys?

*chittering at length*

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Anyway, Jack pleaded with Mina to hide him from the squirrels. She recommended he that he hide indoors, preferably somewhere with a bath. Ouch. Also, probably not useful advice considering the squirrels get everywhere.

Ronon found Jack hiding under a bench and gave him directions to Caritas. Which is better advice because at least you can get a drink if you can't avoid the squirrels.

Jack also explained to Indiana Jones about the unpleasant hospitality of the Radio Squirrels. Just for reference, I've always found the squirrels pretty awesome. And they have good taste in rum.

*chittering*

You're welcome. Charlotte was working obsessively on her computer at the York Gallery and asked Dale what she should choose for the next gallery exhibit. Alex did some online shopping at the Magic Box, and Seregil wrote a letter at the Book Haven. Triela realized when she got to the Freelance Police HQ that she had missed the place. Bender decorated the Gig with a tacky plastic tree and a little toy boat in an effort to extend his vacation, and Tony opened Coyote Medicine and set up a table with books and charms that are supposed to change the weather. And Jack Burton had a craving for hot chocolate and coffee so he mixed them together at the Perk. Yeah dude, it's called a cafe mocha. Not exactly new.

Sam: Some people don't drink as much coffee as we do.

Dean: Still, reinventing the wheel, dude. A tanned and cheerful Robin-not-a-frog was working at Town Hall. A lost Jack Sparrow wandered in and wanted to know what time the bar opened. Now, see, that sounds like a better idea than hiding in the park to me.

And when Caritas was opened by Arashi, the zombies had rigged up a pseudo-bath with buckets of water from the hot spring. Huh. I wonder if wet zombies smell like wet dog. Or wet dead dog...

Sam: And just like that, I'm no longer hungry from talking about brownies. Thanks, Dean.

Dean: Hey, I'm not the one washing zombies.

Sam: Still, only you could let your thoughts go in that direction.

Dean Hey, can't help it if I'm inquisitive like.

Sam: And here I was going to go for nauseating. Is that it for the notes?

Dean: Yep. I think those other ones over there are plans for recapturing that Jack Sparrow guy.

*smug chittering*

Sam: Um. Think we should get out of here before we become part of the plans?

Dean: Sounds like a plan. Come on, I'll buy you some bacon cookies.
