Fandom Radio, Wednesday, May 27th
--is button do? Man, I could do this all day. *chittering* Whaaat? Stop buggin', me, I'm -- oh, hey, the light's on. Guess that means it worked. I rule.
*more chittering*
Hey hey Fandom! It's Wednesday night, this is Fandom Radio, and I'm your host for the evening, Priestly the Great!
*chittering*
For all you know that is my full name. *chittering* Yes. My middle name is "the". It's my horrible secret. *chittering* You do realize I have no idea what you're saying, right? Yeah. That's what I thought.
School. Or Camp. Or something.
Getting us started today we have Healthy Diet and Living, which talked about lunch. And I, for one, am a huge fan of lunch. It's the traditional meal of sandwiches. I love sandwiches. Soooo, naturally, the class ate carob muffins. Not as good as sandwiches, but it'll do. Especially since they then got down and dirty with cooking up some healthy lunchy recipes.
My Life as a Buddy Movie -- which may be the best workshop title ever -- talked about freindly communication, including the nonverbal kind -- and the true test of a bond is whether you can communicate just by looking at each other -- and the verbal kind by doing a three-legged race. I'm . . . not entirely sure how that works with verbal communication, but clearly that's because I'm not in that workshop. Amber and Effy were on hand to do their TA thang, and Amber tried for extra credit by bringing Loki donuts and coffee. Hey, you do what you gotta do. Bet they went great with the bento box Daisy provided.
So, then, being a teacher means getting free food? I could so be down with that.
Criminal Justice spent the day working with the evidence they collected last week. What that evidence is, the notes don't say, so I'm gonna say it's classified. That's right, Fandom, you heard it here first, Criminal Justice is working on training the next generation of government conspirators. Exciting! As part of their training, they got to listen in on Gibbs chatting with his team back home about what they all found and what it might mean. Again, we're suspiciously scanty on the details. Shoddy reporting, or classwide horrible secret? You be the judge. What I can tell you is that Diana and Rose determined that the whole discussion required popcorn. Mysterious, conspiratorial popcorn. Which apparently no one provided for the class discussion on who they think is the killer, based on what they found.
A tiger ate him. I'm just saying.
And finally, they all wrapped up with bagging up the evidence to guard over the course of the week. See, and now they have to guard the mysterious evidence. All very spooky. Maybe someone should interrogate Buffy and Ben, who reported for TA duty. After class, Diana asked Gibbs about his rules for life and he admitted -- that's right, admitted -- that the class might not learn them all.
Because they're classified.
*chittering*
Oh shut up.
Art of Seduction covered date outfits, today. And why am I not in that class? It'd probably make more sense than that pop star class I'm taking. Today's seductiony exercise was to pair up and dress each other. Were they supposed to flirt while they were at it? Dressing each other totally sounds like prime flirt time. So does modeling the outfits. Or maybe flirting was just extra credit. Emma and Jack were on hand as TAs. And probably flirting with each other.
Seven Secrets to Success drove Rimmer crazy. Wait, I'm reading that wrong. Apparently he was already crazy.
This is Fandom. How can you tell?
Ah, apparently by the fact that he was wearing a gingham dress and telling the class to plead to the King of the Potato People for leniency. But, hey, dodging crazy Rimmer to escape is . . . probably a secret of success, so it's not a total loss. My condolences to Turtle, who had to TA the whole mess.
It's Wednesday, so that means Sam was pulling his weekly duty in the library, where hopefully no one was wearing a gingham dress. Or at least, hopefully Sam wasn't. I don't think he's got the legs for that. Dean stopped in for lunch, natch, and he and Sam talked about the hilarity that was stoned Sam in the library.
Wait, Sam got stoned? And I missed it? Man, I am never dying your hair and doing your make up again.
Er.
And lastly, Karla stopped in to return the Shakespeare she's been reading -- probably to bone up for the "theatrical", and Sam helped her pick out a new one. I like that one about the two friends of the crazy prince who have no idea what they're doing and spend the whole play discovering laws of gravity. Or was that by some other guy?
Dorms. Where there's a sad lack of s'mores.
Elspeth kicks us off in the Salle this morning, where she was warming up while waiting for her sparring partner, Arthur. You poor, poor girl. The notes say they were pretty well matched. Which is too bad. She should totally kick his ass.
The sixth floor construction is moving along swimmingly with pulling up carpet. Ronon suggested everyone wear masks. Because there's no telling where that sucker's been. You know, other than, uh, on the sixth floor. John, Brooke, and Peter all showed up to get their work on, and Brooke was apparently confused by creature stabbing.
Wait, what?
John grabbed himself a nap during lunch time, wise man, and Fraser and Ronon were both around to supervise. I'm assuming that's the carpet pulling up, not the napping. But hey, you never know.
Looks like the second floor common room was the place to be, this evening, as fans gathered to watch the season finale of Dorkest Night -- sorry, DARKEST Night. At least Tony didn't skimp on the snackage. Dinah tried to figure out if there'd be a cliffhanger. Tony assured her there probably would be. Of course there was a cliffhanger. There's always a cliffhanger. AKA totally set the bar on that one, I mean come on. They then went on to discuss "CB", which is either "central broadcasting", "cliffhanger babes", or the show's creator, I dunno. Can't say I've paid that much attention.
Blysse was glad to see she hadn't missed anything. That girl is so hooked. Dinah was all glad-like, too, because she's cool like that. And also totally hooked. Dork.
I get to say that because she's my girl. No one else gets to call Dinah a dork. Just saying.
Jack went all boggle-eyed at Blind Seer, and made the mistake of assuming he was a pet and then comparing him to werewolves. As far as I know, Jack still has all his appendages. Fiona was in a great mood, and Tony offered her food. There's some note here about "that always going well". I agree. Food always goes well. Fiona and Dinah talked about "semi-dates" with Zack. Okay, a) who's Zack and do I have to kill him, and b) what's a "semi-date"? Judging purely by the definition of the prefix "semi", it's a half-date. So I'm guessing they went out for snacks and then only watched part of the movie. Hey, whatever floats your dinghy. Apparently, Fiona's date with Jack was actually just picking out a phone. I guess that counts as "semi-dating"? And he's going to teach Fiona all about Arts and Crafts, because her "fascist household" won't let her do 'em.
Wait, they won't let her do arts and crafts? Are you kidding me? That is fascist! This is what happens when you don't have democracy, people!
Fiona told Blysse she was mostly there to hang with people -- good plan -- and asked Blysse about the story line so far. Again, she seems to have kept all her appendages, so I'm assuming that she asked this before the episode started, or at the very least during commercial breaks. Griff brought cheddar powder for the popcorn, eliciting much glee from Tony. Popcorn is, apparently, now the official Food of the Day. Fiona was happy to see Griff, too, though possibly not just because of the popcorn thing, and they talked about classes. Again, I'm assuming during commerical breaks. Hope no one was dying to catch the latest installment of the adventures of the Verizon team battling the scourge of the 3G Dead Zone. Rose was skeptical about the powdered cheese. Was it the powder state that confused her, or the cheesiness? Because I can see how that would happen. Dinah and Griff were ready, and I quote, to "cheesy-popcorn-it-up" exclamation point. And again I say: Dork. Dinah went on to wonder if the cheese was alive. Yes. You're committing cheesiside. I hope you're proud of yourself.
Jack and Tony did the catching up thing, talking about Jack's lunch with Rose and him making amends with Alice. Wait, what'd he do to Alice? That's my big sis, there. No messing with Alice. Fiona showed her blackberry off to Jack. I'm assuming it's a phone and not, like, a fruit. Though showing off a berry might be kinda cool. In a hipstery ironic kind of way. As would be explaining what it was. I really hope Jack knows what an actual blackberry is. But with the crazy worlds funneling into this town, who knows? Brooke worried about catching up on what she'd missed of the show -- remember that? They're all watching a TV show -- but Tony took a couple seconds to explain the "deep" nature of the plot and she relaxed. I'm assuming "deep" there is being used ironically. Griff wondered if he could make up a story and get Brooke to believe that it's the plot. I'm guessing yes. Brooke only asked that it be interesting. Hey, that's all anyone wants, right? Valentine recognized Brooke, but Brooke didn't know Valentine. Apparently this is because Valentine is living with Brooke's "face stealer". That's one way to put it, but I think if I ever tried to call Dean that, I'd get lynched.
Brooke checked in on how Fiona's adjusting, and the answer was that she's doing just fine. Good to hear. Dinah tried to convince Brooke that pizza and ice cream makes a great combo. And if I wasn't pretty sure I knew the status of Dinah's virtue, I might be a little worried. Also, I happen to know that pizza and ranch dressing works, and that's pretty creamy, so maybe she's onto something. Valentine asked Tony what everyone's going to do when the show's over for the season. That's . . . actually a good question. I vote drinking games! Or possibly fanfic. I bet Dinah could cook up a steamy number hooking up the vampire detective with the voodoo priestess coroner. Can, uh, you tell I've never really watched this show? Dinah helped Val catch up on that "deep plot" before chatting about working. And I'm starting to think there's not enough commercial breaks in the world, so you have to wonder if anyone actually got any watching done.
Jack and Valentine said "hi", and Jack asked if she was there for the TV or the food. She said TV -- and that oh-so compelling plot which can apparently be followed while also chatting it up -- since the food wasn't gross enough for her tastes. Did she see Dinah with the pizza and ice cream? Because if so, I'm not sure I want to know what would be "gross enough". Rose and Tony catch up with each other and the show, and how it has no zombies. Blysse assured Rose that she hadn't missed anything but the "previouslies". You mean the episode hasn't even started yet? Good lord, what'd you people do, all meet up at dawn for this? Dinah reminded Rose of shirtlessness -- Dinah was shirtless? -- oh, on the show. They're worried the main dude might go be shirtless somewhere else.
Why is the vampire detective shirtless? You know what, I don't wanna know.
And then they both realized that neither was doing their homework properly. See, kids? The Hulu ads are right. Television really does rot your brain. Dinah and Rose discussed the finer points of zombie detective logic. Which is a phrase I never thought I'd ever say, so points for that. Fiona didn't know about the shirtlessness, so Francine filled her in. And I'm suddenly understanding why this entire common room seems to be mostly filled with girls and guys who like guys. That's . . . respectable. Let me know if they ever get the voodoo priestess shirtless, would you?
And, uh, no. I have no idea if there really is a voodoo priestess on the show. But there totally should be, and she should be hot and shirtless. Equal opportunity ogling!
Dinah filled Francine in on what she missed -- and I think if I ever do this again, I'm going to read through the notes first and lump all this episode recapping together. Apparently the last few episodes had no shirtlessness. Just open-shirtness. These are the important details, people, I hope you're taking notes. Dinah pretended not to know what the show means to Tony. Tony gets some deeper meaning out of this thing? Okay, maybe he's the one who should spend the summer writing fanfic. Dinah and Diana realized that they hadn't done their homework, either. And noted that they'd be in trouble, because that fact would get reported on the radio. Which it just had. Apparently the girls weren't fast enough with the squirrel bribes.
Gimme some love, squirrel dude.
*chittering*
No, not high five. With a fist, like this.
The squirrel doesn't wanna give me some love.
Karla showed up on a Dinah hunt and got dragged into the show. I'm suddenly glad I skipped out on this little shindig. It's like a great sucking vortex, dragging people in to get filled in on what they missed and talk about missing homework. Karla, Blysse, and Blind Seer also shot the *feedback*. Which for those of you from other cultures, means "talk". Not, uh, actual shooting of actual *feedback*. Tahiri boggled at the fake cheese. Which is aliiiiiiiiiiive! Bwahahahahahaha -- ow! You squirrels are no fun. Karla wasn't sure about the cheese, either. Don't be, it's a trap. A traaaap! Well, at least, they're not all talking about what they missed. Tahiri wasn't sure what the shirtless big deal was. I'd say you'll understand when you're older, but then I suppose that's not actually a guarantee, is it. But, hey, more power to your non-objectification of the lead guy! It's more than can be said for Blysse and Francine. Who were . . . apparently talking about shirtless zombies. And can I just say: ew. Tahiri was unexpectedly giddied at by Dinah, who was excited to inform her that tonight's episode was the season finale.
Dork.
Rose and Tahiri chatted about flight class. Not to be confused with fight class. Or flight crass. Yeeeah, I dunno. That sounded funnier in my head. Karla wanted to know where all the zombies had gone. *sings* Where have all the zombies goooone? Long time paaaaassing. . . . -- OW! Everybody's a critic.
And that's finally it for the second floor common room. I need a drink before my voice gives out.
Holy crap, you guys really do have rum. You're so my new best friends.
It seems that Arthur woke up hungover and panicked because he had to go spar with Elspeth. Merlin told him to sod off and refused to help him get ready. You go Merlin! The squirrels note that they should have brought popcorn. Further supporting my hypothesis that popcorn is the Food of the Day. Edward made posters and Effy stopped by to see what he was up to, which lead to talk about his fight with Hannibal -- wait, what? -- and comparing penis size. I repeat -- what? Edward, you and I are gonna have to have a little chat, man. Jack Priest tried to wake up Esme and thought she was dead. Fortunately, she wasn't, proving a) that I'm not a horrible big brother and b) that throwing water on a person is not actually the best way to tell if someone is dead. Fiona was unpacking until Leto stopped in -- and the notes abruptly cut off there with something about someone on fire. IIIIII don't even know. Fiona and Zack met up at the entrance to the dorms for their "semi-date" and headed for Turtle and Canary. For snacks. Before going to watch half a movie. I was totally right all along. Edward put up posters all over to advertise he and Ino singing. Edward singing is not news. Ino singing might be. Romeo stopped by and got excited and Edward proved himself to be at the very least a cliche salesman by telling him to bring his friends. Dinah caught Francine Googling. And holy crap, that sounds like a euphemism. Especially since Francine then wanted to know if everyone was gay but her, and they went on to talk about dating Zack.
Zack, this is your official notice: hurt her and your die. You get points for obviously being upfront about "semi-dating" two girls at once, though.
Peter hung out playing with Sam's dog until Sam got back, and then they discussed how adorable Peter's new roommate was. The entire floor went into hyperglycemic shock, but at least Sam and Peter got to be shmoopy at each other. Shilo combined music and studying, thereby proving her intelligence, and Ino spotted Edward's posters. Apparently, Edward forgot to clue her in on their pending performance. And, okay, now I have to go see it.
Town, where hopefully no one's talking about shirtless vampire detectives
The Clinic was manned by Dr. Cornick, today. And there's no notes about anyone showing up missing limbs, so again, I'm going with the theory that the whole second floor crew met up at dawn. Murdock managed to injure himself at the lighthouse, though. Fortunately, Tully was there to limp over and check on him. Mental note: lighthouse equals death trap. "Jack-not-Priest" -- and also not Priestly *bad table rimshot* -- surprised Naomi at Stark Industries. I think that calls for an eighties sitcom audience "awwwwww", don't you? Katina and Francine hung out at Strokes of Genius and "did the Bee Eff Eff thing". Which would get another "awww", but I'd rather not get decked by Katina. Said "Bee Eff Eff" thing apparently involves a lot of innunedo, which Francine just didn't get. Over at Luke's, Johnny was slinging fireballs, Jack-who-is-Priest-but-still-not-Priestly and Rose had a nice little conversation, Savannah and Johnny did the "Bee Eff" thing, not, I'm assuming, to be confused with the "Bee Eff Eff" thing, and Hinata assured Johnny that she'd be just fine on her "mission home". Which admittedly does sound ominous. Amber found porn at Turtle and Canary -- and these notes specify that she totally read it for the articles, but we all know what that means. Meanwhile, Zack and Fiona did the semi-date thing, and Fiona told him about what her family does. Which also sounds ominous. Liir and Amber talked about sauces, and I have to agree with the squirrel here that this is making me hungry. Time for some of that Food of the Day. What sauce would go well with popcorn? I'm assuming something buttery.
Ino and Liir talked plants at Wellspring Arms. And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that Ino didn't burst into song while they were at it. Gwynn opened the Gig, Liir manned the tables at Cafe Fina, Shilo manned the desk at the York Gallery, Claire read Y-People at the Dungeon, Joan was all alone at Coven -- Conven -- the flower place, and Rusty had himself a jolly old time at the MCA. You know, it's totally fun to stay there. *bad table rimshot*
Tyler returned Worf's uniform, and I don't wanna know why he had it in the first place. Alice and Leto were apparently cute at each other while playing croquet at Groovy Tunes. Croquet at the record store. Points for creativity. Jack-who's-Priest-but-not-me stopped by and Alice did nothing to disprove any doubts about her sanity. She never does. That's what makes her so awesome. Lindsay visited Alex at Cabot and Associates, and Esme, who's still not dead, left a bowl in the preserve.
Apparently, if you weren't in the second floor common room tonight, you were with Penelope at Caritas, where the zombies were reportedly not shirtless, but were wearing huge, bejeweled sunglasses. Poor souls, you had to listen to Murdock sing. Well, at least the death trap that is the lighthouse hasn't gotten him completely, yet. Daisy also sang, and the notes even specify that she did it badly. Sorry, Daisy, but I gotta report the news as it is. At the bar, Murdock chatted up Penelope while waiting for Daisy -- that's platonic chatting up, get your minds out of the gutter -- and Daisy and Murdock discussed their singing deal. Not to be confused with an actual record deal. Deadpool drank a lot, despite Penelope advising against it, and Hurley regaled Penelope with talk of Crazy Rimmer. I'm assuming Hurley wasn't wearing a gingham dress. Daisy let Penelope in on the plans to siiiiiiing her heart out, Deadpool suggested he and Daisy get together for martinis and facials -- possibly not in that order -- and Daisy wanted to know why Vince was only drinking water and what he was going to sing -- apparently some kick-ass punk rock, complete with microphone slamming.
Man, I so can't decide if that guy's actually cool or not.
Well, looks like that's it for this evening, folks. Thanks for listening, and for the love of God, someone dump some water on the shirtless fans on the second floor.
[ooc: mental note: if I ever do this again, don't do it on the computer with the stuck "B" key. *falls over*]
*more chittering*

Dinah and Rose discussed the finer points of zombie detective logic. Which is a phrase I never thought I'd ever say, so points for that. Fiona didn't know about the shirtlessness, so Francine filled her in. And I'm suddenly understanding why this entire common room seems to be mostly filled with girls and guys who like guys. That's . . . respectable. Let me know if they ever get the voodoo priestess shirtless, would you?
And, uh, no. I have no idea if there really is a voodoo priestess on the show. But there totally should be, and she should be hot and shirtless. Equal opportunity ogling!
Dinah filled Francine in on what she missed -- and I think if I ever do this again, I'm going to read through the notes first and lump all this episode recapping together. Apparently the last few episodes had no shirtlessness. Just open-shirtness. These are the important details, people, I hope you're taking notes. Dinah pretended not to know what the show means to Tony. Tony gets some deeper meaning out of this thing? Okay, maybe he's the one who should spend the summer writing fanfic. Dinah and Diana realized that they hadn't done their homework, either. And noted that they'd be in trouble, because that fact would get reported on the radio. Which it just had. Apparently the girls weren't fast enough with the squirrel bribes.
Gimme some love, squirrel dude.
*chittering*
No, not high five. With a fist, like this.
The squirrel doesn't wanna give me some love.
Karla showed up on a Dinah hunt and got dragged into the show. I'm suddenly glad I skipped out on this little shindig. It's like a great sucking vortex, dragging people in to get filled in on what they missed and talk about missing homework. Karla, Blysse, and Blind Seer also shot the *feedback*. Which for those of you from other cultures, means "talk". Not, uh, actual shooting of actual *feedback*. Tahiri boggled at the fake cheese. Which is aliiiiiiiiiiive! Bwahahahahahaha -- ow! You squirrels are no fun. Karla wasn't sure about the cheese, either. Don't be, it's a trap. A traaaap! Well, at least, they're not all talking about what they missed. Tahiri wasn't sure what the shirtless big deal was. I'd say you'll understand when you're older, but then I suppose that's not actually a guarantee, is it. But, hey, more power to your non-objectification of the lead guy! It's more than can be said for Blysse and Francine. Who were . . . apparently talking about shirtless zombies. And can I just say: ew. Tahiri was unexpectedly giddied at by Dinah, who was excited to inform her that tonight's episode was the season finale.
Dork.
Rose and Tahiri chatted about flight class. Not to be confused with fight class. Or flight crass. Yeeeah, I dunno. That sounded funnier in my head. Karla wanted to know where all the zombies had gone. *sings* Where have all the zombies goooone? Long time paaaaassing. . . . -- OW! Everybody's a critic.
And that's finally it for the second floor common room. I need a drink before my voice gives out.
Holy crap, you guys really do have rum. You're so my new best friends.
It seems that Arthur woke up hungover and panicked because he had to go spar with Elspeth. Merlin told him to sod off and refused to help him get ready. You go Merlin! The squirrels note that they should have brought popcorn. Further supporting my hypothesis that popcorn is the Food of the Day. Edward made posters and Effy stopped by to see what he was up to, which lead to talk about his fight with Hannibal -- wait, what? -- and comparing penis size. I repeat -- what? Edward, you and I are gonna have to have a little chat, man. Jack Priest tried to wake up Esme and thought she was dead. Fortunately, she wasn't, proving a) that I'm not a horrible big brother and b) that throwing water on a person is not actually the best way to tell if someone is dead. Fiona was unpacking until Leto stopped in -- and the notes abruptly cut off there with something about someone on fire. IIIIII don't even know. Fiona and Zack met up at the entrance to the dorms for their "semi-date" and headed for Turtle and Canary. For snacks. Before going to watch half a movie. I was totally right all along. Edward put up posters all over to advertise he and Ino singing. Edward singing is not news. Ino singing might be. Romeo stopped by and got excited and Edward proved himself to be at the very least a cliche salesman by telling him to bring his friends. Dinah caught Francine Googling. And holy crap, that sounds like a euphemism. Especially since Francine then wanted to know if everyone was gay but her, and they went on to talk about dating Zack.
Zack, this is your official notice: hurt her and your die. You get points for obviously being upfront about "semi-dating" two girls at once, though.
Peter hung out playing with Sam's dog until Sam got back, and then they discussed how adorable Peter's new roommate was. The entire floor went into hyperglycemic shock, but at least Sam and Peter got to be shmoopy at each other. Shilo combined music and studying, thereby proving her intelligence, and Ino spotted Edward's posters. Apparently, Edward forgot to clue her in on their pending performance. And, okay, now I have to go see it.
Town, where hopefully no one's talking about shirtless vampire detectives
The Clinic was manned by Dr. Cornick, today. And there's no notes about anyone showing up missing limbs, so again, I'm going with the theory that the whole second floor crew met up at dawn. Murdock managed to injure himself at the lighthouse, though. Fortunately, Tully was there to limp over and check on him. Mental note: lighthouse equals death trap. "Jack-not-Priest" -- and also not Priestly *bad table rimshot* -- surprised Naomi at Stark Industries. I think that calls for an eighties sitcom audience "awwwwww", don't you? Katina and Francine hung out at Strokes of Genius and "did the Bee Eff Eff thing". Which would get another "awww", but I'd rather not get decked by Katina. Said "Bee Eff Eff" thing apparently involves a lot of innunedo, which Francine just didn't get. Over at Luke's, Johnny was slinging fireballs, Jack-who-is-Priest-but-still-not-Priestly and Rose had a nice little conversation, Savannah and Johnny did the "Bee Eff" thing, not, I'm assuming, to be confused with the "Bee Eff Eff" thing, and Hinata assured Johnny that she'd be just fine on her "mission home". Which admittedly does sound ominous. Amber found porn at Turtle and Canary -- and these notes specify that she totally read it for the articles, but we all know what that means. Meanwhile, Zack and Fiona did the semi-date thing, and Fiona told him about what her family does. Which also sounds ominous. Liir and Amber talked about sauces, and I have to agree with the squirrel here that this is making me hungry. Time for some of that Food of the Day. What sauce would go well with popcorn? I'm assuming something buttery.
Ino and Liir talked plants at Wellspring Arms. And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that Ino didn't burst into song while they were at it. Gwynn opened the Gig, Liir manned the tables at Cafe Fina, Shilo manned the desk at the York Gallery, Claire read Y-People at the Dungeon, Joan was all alone at Coven -- Conven -- the flower place, and Rusty had himself a jolly old time at the MCA. You know, it's totally fun to stay there. *bad table rimshot*
Tyler returned Worf's uniform, and I don't wanna know why he had it in the first place. Alice and Leto were apparently cute at each other while playing croquet at Groovy Tunes. Croquet at the record store. Points for creativity. Jack-who's-Priest-but-not-me stopped by and Alice did nothing to disprove any doubts about her sanity. She never does. That's what makes her so awesome. Lindsay visited Alex at Cabot and Associates, and Esme, who's still not dead, left a bowl in the preserve.
Apparently, if you weren't in the second floor common room tonight, you were with Penelope at Caritas, where the zombies were reportedly not shirtless, but were wearing huge, bejeweled sunglasses. Poor souls, you had to listen to Murdock sing. Well, at least the death trap that is the lighthouse hasn't gotten him completely, yet. Daisy also sang, and the notes even specify that she did it badly. Sorry, Daisy, but I gotta report the news as it is. At the bar, Murdock chatted up Penelope while waiting for Daisy -- that's platonic chatting up, get your minds out of the gutter -- and Daisy and Murdock discussed their singing deal. Not to be confused with an actual record deal. Deadpool drank a lot, despite Penelope advising against it, and Hurley regaled Penelope with talk of Crazy Rimmer. I'm assuming Hurley wasn't wearing a gingham dress. Daisy let Penelope in on the plans to siiiiiiing her heart out, Deadpool suggested he and Daisy get together for martinis and facials -- possibly not in that order -- and Daisy wanted to know why Vince was only drinking water and what he was going to sing -- apparently some kick-ass punk rock, complete with microphone slamming.
Man, I so can't decide if that guy's actually cool or not.
Well, looks like that's it for this evening, folks. Thanks for listening, and for the love of God, someone dump some water on the shirtless fans on the second floor.
[ooc: mental note: if I ever do this again, don't do it on the computer with the stuck "B" key. *falls over*]
