Fandom Radio, April 30

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

Lacey: Hello, everyone! Students and graduates -- oh, and families of graduates, welcome to the island. It's a fantastic night here in Fandom, where --

Katchoo: Okay, okay, turn down the wattage already, geez. You're trying too *feedback* hard. And quit smiling! How many times do I have to tell you it's not like anyone can see you?

Lacey: It sets the tone, okay?

Katchoo: And me without sunglasses.



Dorms -- Didn't You Want to Know What Your Kids Were Up To In There?

Katchoo: Yeah, it's break week. There's no school news. If you're surprised by this, you're probably Lacey.

Lacey: Excuse you. I knew that.

Katchoo: Yeah, but it's funny when you get indignant. Down at the gun range this morning, Triela hung out waiting so she could give Hinata a crash course in gun basics. Jack and his lack of mullet were down there too. Don't think Triela didn't notice. Continuing our theme of wholesome activities those wacky kids get up to, Amber woke up with a hangover. Happy birthday, have a *feedback*in' headache. Gift that keeps giving, until you puke. John was hung over when he found Nancy in his room tonight, too.

Lacey: Wow, you'd think that happens around here a lot or something. *nervous giggle* What a weird coincidence, huh?

Katchoo: Again. Trying too hard.

Lacey: Well. In news that sounds less . . . er, degenerate, Jack checked out his new hair and Robin was shocked by the lack of mullet. And aww, Warren called his mom. Wow. Quiet dorms today.

Katchoo: That's because of the yard sale going on out on the lawn.

Lacey: Did people have different tables?

Katchoo: You could read the notes and find out, but no, you have to ask and be annoying. Rikku had oddities, electronics, and costumes for sale, and got a hat from Luke, who's a general now. Whoop. Murdock realized she was graduating. Guess the selling-off-stuff thing clued him in. Dinah and Ino asked about the potions, Priestly wondered why there was a crib, and Robin asked how business was. Sokka's inventory had some "Best of Fandom High" DVDs in there. Dojima tried to trade him for a volume two -- geez, there's multiple volumes. Jack Burton hoped he wasn't on 'em. Priestly was shocked Sokka was selling his chinchilla --

Lacey: I'm assuming that's not dirty.

Katchoo: God, what are you, twelve? Save that crap for the other students. Dojima had a crapton of clothes for sale, and Dinah, Rikku, and K-Mart came by to shop. John Sheppard's table had free stuff, and he was lying under it. Can't blame Rikku for wondering if he's sick. Eve had stuff for sale, and Mac had a bunch of electronic stuff, and visits from Dinah, Murdock, and Cal. Speaking of Cal, he had . . . a giant soap collection for sale. Priestly didn't get the point; Ino was pissed. At Romeo's table, Liir and Ino scored some clothes. Chad had music, and that sucked in Priestly, a wibbly Dinah, Robin, Alice, and K-Mart who thinks Chad's cat is cute apparently. Elsewhere, Dinah and Viki had ice cream and plotted and who gave that girl sugar? Who?

And Everyone Else Was In Town

Katchoo: And I'm just gonna kick off this section by mentioning that while Deadpool was sleeping on the couch, Cable changed back from being a lemming. Probably naked. I hear that's how these animal transformations go.

Lacey: Are you trying to bother people? Oh, wait, that is what you do. Sarah had a videoconference and made some phone calls this morning. See, nice and normal. Like my cohost here, working at Strokes of Genius, or Peyton playing upbeat music at Groovy Tunes, where Chad dropped in to wish her well and . . . oh, I'm going to get all sniffly talking about this goodbye stuff.

Katchoo: Spare me. Please.

Lacey: You are so unsympathetic. Millie had a sale going at Book Haven, and Helen was at The Gig when Dani came in to check it out since she wants to buy it. Jamie got information from Turtle about starting his own branch of Turtle and Canary on his last shift today, and at Stark Industries Lindsay had barbecue, and shared with Ronon. John Connor was confused by the shop's name change. That happens sometimes. Abby Irene was at the bakery with the funny name, having tea and a muffin, Murdock was distracted at the Freelance Police Headquarters, where Max wanted to know if he was graduating too, and down at Luke's Diner, which I highly recommend to all you visiting families, by the way --

Katchoo: Aw, stuff it, you ditz --

Lacey: -- Priestly . . . temporarily promoted the busboy so he could go to the yard sale. Priestly!

Katchoo: Kid, I think you just got a little on my good side for making her spaz like that. It probably won't last, so enjoy it while you can. Daisy was cooking for a date with Biff and his bottle of vodka -- I'd go on a date with a bottle of vodka. Mel went to check out the graveyard and yep, they're still dead in there. Buffy came by to show Giles the graveyard, because it's apparently a frikkin' tourist attraction, and Mel recognized her. Or apparently a different her. And a different Giles. Sokka said hi to Buffy and was happy to find Mel in the graveyard, and so was Rikku . . . I'm starting to wonder about you people.

Lacey: Starting?

Katchoo: Shuddup. Worf got into it with Mel, who thought he was a demon, until Dale came in to break it up. Take a moment to appreciate the irony of all the stuff that goes on in the cemetery, people.

Lacey: I don't know. That doesn't sound very restful. At Caritas, Robin -- eeeeeeeeee -- wasn't happy about Tino hiding the tequila.

Katchoo: Did you just squee?

Lacey: Absolutely not.

Katchoo: You suck at lying.

Lacey: Do not. Prince Edward sang, and I'm sure it didn't suck, which I'm not only saying because he's my employee and I feel compelled to, honest.

Katchoo: . . . how would you know, moron? You didn't hear it. Jaye was happy to see the bar, 'cept Jack Sparrow thought she was stereotyping him somehow and ooooooooooookay then.

Lacey: If you pronounced it the way the notes had it down, it'd make sense. Baaaaaaaaaaar. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. See?

Katchoo: How long have we been doing this, and you still mistake me for someone who gives a *feedback*? Edward was there for the drinking, like you do at a bar --

Lacey: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

Katchoo: KNOCK IT OFF, AIRHEAD, IT'S NOT FUNNY WHEN YOU DO IT. Tony, Tyler, and Nathan talked about death, class differences, and seeing the sun.

Lacey: Wow. Conversations over alcohol are crazy.

Katchoo: So am I, obviously, because I do this with you every week. Turtle met up with Steve for a strategy session at the Perk today. Later tonight Isabel was there, where she got hugged and teased by Johnny Storm, asked Parker if she wanted her coffee in an IV drip, caught up with Alanna who wanted to know if Parker's conquered any nations lately, and called Tiny Creepy Kid*feedback*. Okay, I haven't met you, but for that I owe you a drink.

Lacey: I have no idea what you have against that kid. Hoshi was manning the desk at the Arms Hotel for the invasion of graduation guests, including Annette and Loretta, Seth, John Connor, Steve -- who Turtle was checking on -- Parker, and River. Peter Parker and Zero were disappointed things weren't weirder on the island -- shhhhhhhhh! Don't give it ideas!

Katchoo: Yeah, 'cause it sits around waiting for us to do that before throwing crap at us. That's exactly what it does. God, Lacey.

But We Did Throw a Welcome Picnic . . . Just Not At Anyone

Lacey: Can I talk about the Welcome Picnic?

Katchoo: See me falling all over myself to try and grab those notes away from you?

Lacey: A simple 'yes' would have been so much more efficient.

Katchoo: And yet, nowhere near as satisfying.

Lacey: Guests arrived and found nametags, if they wanted them. In the 'not enthused' column are Dave Sheppard and Nancy, Commander Adama, Jaye, John Connor, Steve, Chloe, Piper, and Morgan. On the other hand, Giles, Corran, Mike -- who had Murdock ask how Hawaii's treating him, Loretta and Annette, Luke, Seth, Tori, Adah, Lindsey, and Benvolio didn't seem to mind theirs, even though Benvolio's uncle wasn't so thrilled.

Katchoo: Surprise, people mixed it up.

Lacey: You take all the joy out of things. Buffy gave Giles a hug and told him he wasn't here to meet her teachers. Well, it is graduation. Barney and Biff worked on a cover story for picking up women, Lee had a formal meeting with his father, and Corran got to meet Nancy while he was looking for Gavin. Jaina wouldn't let Nancy hug her or call her Jane, and Biff tried to pick up Nancy. At the picnic? Really?

Katchoo: You need to get out more.

Lacey: Because you do. Right. Luke filled Jaina in on his promotion and other news, and Jaina told Lois not to hit on Luke, who was checking out the island. Annette and Loretta found Amber, but they found beer first. They also found Murdock, but Abby Irene rescued him from getting pawed by Loretta. Liir got grilled by them on whether he was sleeping with Amber and wow. I kind of wish I'd seen this.

Katchoo: You would. Meg and Luke were glad they missed the gremlin invasion, though.

Lacey: Yeah, let's not talk about that. Summer found out Seth's here because her dad couldn't make it, and Adah got a much warmer reception from Lee than Lee's dad did. Tori, John Connor, Chloe, and Steve were all hanging around, and Piper got a nice welcome from Lindsey. Harry, on the other hand, didn't manage to avoid Morgan.

Katchoo: And just think. The drama's just getting started. It's not even officially the weekend yet.

Lacey: Oh, boy.

Katchoo: My sentiments exactly.

Lacey: Did you just agree with me?

Katchoo: . . . no. Yes. *feedback*

Lacey: Count of three, we turn off the mic and pretend that never happened?

Katchoo: Three.

Lacey: Hey --

*click*

[OOC: Oh, man. So, so sorry for the lateness on this, guys. It really kinda was a day.]
