Fandom Radio :: Friday, July 31st.
Jeez oh man, if any of you even touch me and I have to go get rabies shots, I'm lacing all the nuts on this island with cyanide. I don't even care if all the cops in this town hear it and arrest me for squirrel-cide, I think it's justified when they're harassing people like this with their little squirrel paws and beady eyes and ru--
*chittering*
--rum? What do I look like, some smelly pirate?
*more chittering*
--okay, vodka's better. Fill me up, rodents. And careful not to get your tails in it. If I see one hair in there, I'm out of here.
Anyway, I'm Rachel Price, and I'm doing this news thing because this place has got some very pushy, handsy rodents, let me tell you. That, and apparently there's no one else to do it because everyone keeps passing out like they've sampled too much of the Christmas party punch. And I refuse to believe the wild rumors that the girls who usually do this Friday night have turned into cats and turtles. I'll just read these notes then and get the heck out of here, because it's not like anyone's actually awake to listen to them or anything, am I right?
Of course I am.
SCHOOL
Phys Ed did Indian wrestling, whatever that is. Boy, phys ed. One thing I did not actually miss about high school. Elena missed the point and fell asleep. Fred the teacher was there to be talked to, and so was Hannibal the TA and his furry girlfriend.
Jeez oh man, the things these squirrels write and that I'm actually reading.
In Rangering!, whatever that is, Arthur lead the class in fighting stuff. And more fighting stuff. And more. So I guess it's a lot of fighting?
Strategy Games didn't do much today, but they got to play board games today, and, wouldn't you know it, I actually know what those are. Fiona was there as a TA, as so was Reid as teacher.
Summer Vacation watched a movie but Tom was actually smart and brought pillows knowing everyone was going to sleep anyway. And he was around, too, if anyone needed him.
The support services met in the library today, and I don't think there's enough support service in the world to help a person get through this place, law.
*chittering*
...and, no, I will not mention breasts, even if it is support services. What do I look like? An ad for Wonderbra?
Anyway, they had cookies for people who were still awake. Good job, people. Being awake. And not comatose. Hoshi looked pretty close, but Ellie managed to drag her to town hall before sleepy-times. They then spend their non-sleeping time into research time, so if they weren't asleep already, they probably will be soon. Claire and Elle are finding nothing, which is "definitely not cool." Know what else isn't cool? Reporting on people reporting that they're finding nothing. Gabrielle seems to make a bit more progress and tells Elle about seductive bloodsucking creatures of the night. Oh. Great. They're vampires, now. Why didn't I stay in Georgia, again? Because, as Tara and Layla discuss, vampires are scary. Not to mention not real. So. There you have it. They can go back to not being real again. I won't mind it one bit.
George and Jack discuss a world without prawns. Seriously? This is research? Although, for the record, have you ever actually seen a prawn? Not just eaten them? They're creepy and weird, and, for the record, I wouldn't mind a world without prawns or vampires. And while we're at it, let's get rid of mosquitoes, too. And chipped nails. And split ends. And...
...I could go on forever, but I won't. I want to get out of here, so back to the notes. Tara agrees about the prawns; she's allergic to shellfish, and, hey, she even found a book about vampires that doesn't gross her out. Good for her. And you probably shouldn't eat shellfish anyway; who knows what sort of gross illnesses they can give you even when you aren't allergic. Mina and Mitchell talk about being the resident experts on vampires and now there's a thing you want to be an expert on, jeez oh man. Alex and Francine fail to find anything useful, while Jack and Layla discuss how to kill a vampire. Um? Stake, heart, garlic, cut off their head, accept that they don't really exist because then they disappear just like Santa and the Easter bunny? Just throwing those out there, kiddies. Robin and Elle contemplate Special Collections, and Annja just wants to be helpful. Morgana and Francine talked about hair, which is at least normal, and Jack relayed information to them about vampires that he and Tara came up with. And Layla points out stuff that sounds really, really made up if you ask me. Karla didn't get to tell Morgana much before she fell asleep and Triela took her off to slumber party land. Fiona got stuck with the science of sleep. Yaaaaawn. Reese offered the help of the Troopers, and Elle found a map. Way to go. Maps.
DORMS
Computer work makes Naomi sleepy, and Karev's asleep in his room, and, what? Did someone slip something into the water supply this week? Because Griff showed up and promptly dropped dozing, too. Leda didn't make it too far out of the dorms, either, before it was goodnight, princess for her, too.
Anyway, Ben is working on robots instead of sleeping. That is, until Karla came in to give him a belated birthday present, which is all very charming, really. If anyone's interested, I'll still be accepting belated birthday presents, too. Mine was Wednesday, and whatever you get me is guaranteed to be better than what my sister got me, which was just a nice 'oh, congrats on living through another shallow year, Rachel. We're all so proud of you.' Adah really is such a killjoy. I'm sorry I missed telling her, 'oh, look, you're still crippled' for her birthday, really.
*chittering*
Yes, I'll get on with reading if you promise to keep the paws off, rodent! Gross. Anyway, Ned? Off to dreamland, too. And Jo didn't even bother getting all the way into her room before she conked out, either. Thankfully, Edmund was there to carry her off to safety and keep her dog from eating her.
*chittering*
I know it just says 'stay put,' I can read you know. But I just don't trust animals, I'm sorry. Especially squirrels.
And Dinah's up, but barely, and she and Claire try to decide what might be best for Dinah. And hey! She didn't fall asleep! GOOD FOR HER.
And while Ender was asleep, his cat Valentine puked on the floor and then licked his face. Charming. This is why I don't have pets.
Liir was actually doing something and baking in the third floor common room. Joan asked how he was, even though she clearly already knew because she got snippy about him lying and saying he was fine, but at least she leaves the boy to his cookies. Until, of course, he passes out when she says something about going on a date with him. How's that for a no? Most guys would just make up an excuse.
Kate and Joan talk about how they're not personally effected by all the weird dream stuff, if you can call guys actually falling asleep talking to you 'not personally effected.' I'd take it as a hint, girls. Because, really.
Kate was glad that there were cookies before asking Liir something. That all, clearly, happened before some other Rachel showed up in time to see Liir pass out instead of going on a date with Joan, and so all three of them helped to get him to the town hall in case he doesn't wake up.
Oh, and Jennifer and Alice had a tea party. Goes well with the slumber party I'll be talking about later.
TOWN
Reese got to the station and immediately got things going, because I'm sure the law can do tons to keep people from falling asleep where they stand.
Mayor Summers made a radio announcement today about everyone conking out and how there's probably some alternate universe thing involved and I am so not even touching that one with a ten foot pole. This was after, of course, he was teleporting around Deadpool's conked out body. Lord almighty, I should have stayed in Georgia.
Martha, the nurses, and a lot of staff were setting up at the town hall for all the passed out people and, jeez oh man, I should have skipped out of town for just a few days longer, although, really, staying with my mother's like staying with the the comatose anyway. So, anyway, people bring all the passed out people in. Edmund brought Jo, Claire brought Savannah, Jack brought Emma, Joan, Kate, and a dog (apparently the dog is noteworthy) brought Liir and that other Rachel, Ronon brought Lindsay, Ellie brought Hoshi, Scherbatty brought Hot Mountie, and Yakko brought...err, himself. Hinata brought Hurley, Bobby brought Zack, Triela brought Karla, and Dukes brought Elena. Tim showed up just in time to pass out, while Tony and Tyler brought Steve. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
With all those people being dragged in, it's a good thing there was plenty of staff to help. Veronica told Martha about all the freaky-deaky dreams she's been having; so did Francine. Something about her mouth tasting like dust. I don't know. And Mina brandished around her vampire knowledge as if that were a good thing. Dinah doesn't want to sleep because she keeps dreaming she's a vampire, and Ronan, with an a, is there to help, so Martha fills him in on 1) people are having freaky-deaky vampire dreams and 2) everyone's conking out like Sleeping Beauty. If I wasn't so convinced to ignore all this stuff, I'd start looking for someone who got a little close to a spindle. Just saying.
Ino's there to help, too, and so is Adam, and Vince joins the big old sleep over. I'll bet he does Martha's nails, too.
Irulan is sleepy, alert the G-D presses. Aphrodite's way too much of an eager beaver to help, so Reese tells her to cool it and let's go get food.
Over in everyone's cot area, we've got Edmund explaining about Jo and assuring Martha that he's fine, Savannah's there, and Merlin watches over Arthur and gets the story from Francine that, apparently, seeing someone killed in a dream can change your hairdo. Well, it'll definitely curl your toes. Kaylee keeps watch over Ned, and Jack watches over Emma a bit before off to the library for all the weird researching. Ben's got Tahiri and Dinah's got Francine. That other Rachel is watched by Joan and Veronica is...get this...sleeping.
Shocker.
Morgan? Sleeping. Liir? Sleeping. While his dog has a conniption. Ronon, with an o, wants to know how to fix sleeping Linsday, and Martha tells him to just cool it. Scherbatty watches over her hot Mountie, and Maron, Hoshi, and Yakko all have cots. Sam's got a worried Peter. Hurley? Cot. Irulan? Cot. Zack, Karla? Elena? Todd? Cot, cot, cot, cot, blah blah blah blah again.
Steve wakes up and freaks all out on Tony, while Kate freaks out on Ino. Amid all this freaking out, Tahiri tries to meditate. Or maybe she's just sleeping. Who can really tell? Sophie paces, Bobby bounces. The price of tea in China just went up. Blah blah blah.
Steve passed out in his living room, not from drinking, which would have at least been fun. At least he's got Tony and Tyler to carrying im to the town hall slumber party?
And that hot Mountie downstairs didn't get very far before conking out on his way to the town hall, and I feel like just a complete ball of helpless for not realizing that was a hot Mountie passed out downstairs. I shouldn't feel too bad, though, since Scherbatty was there to help. I guess she should get dibs, being his girlfriend or whatever.
Aphrodite seemed to make the decision to try to head to the town hall, and I don't even think she fell asleep on the way there. Good for you, sweetie. Chloe was there to help her along. And then later, Aphrodite had no problem teleporting herself and Reese to get donuts. Teleporting. Jeez oh man.
Morgan made a call asking for some time off, a day late and a dollar short, probably. Reid came to ask for advice on his class and they talk about nightmares before, guess what, big surprise, total shocker, Morgan fell asleep. So off to the town hall Reid takes him.
Veronica makes a call, and I'm pretty sure she made it through it without passing out. Good for her. I am so impressed with select people's abilities to keep their eyes open, really.
Murdock was chugging coffee at the lighthouse; not that it did him any good, since he conks out and has to have Tully take him to the town hall. Same with Lindsay at Kwik Stop. Ronon offered her a Twinkie because she looked like hell. What a gentleman. He should get together with my exhusband and they can exchange notes on how to be charmers. But at least he took care of her when she conked out. What a guy.
And Hurley didn't even get into the door of the flower shop before he was just snoozing away. Hinata had to lug him to safety, or whatever. At least Agnes made it in and flipped through some stuff before she joined all the other sleeping beauties.
Hoshi showed up to work on the wrong day at the hotel, but stuck around anyway, because there was coffee. Not that it kept her from sleeping, natch.
Harper was being more productive, shopping for clothes while she was sorting through them at work. Dani also seemed to be working at the Gig, putting up a contest for her employees, which is probably no good, as I bet they're all sleeping right now. Just a hunch. And Arya and Chloe were able to keep awake at work, too. I shouldn't feel I should give people prizes for this, really.
Meanwhile, I got back from my trip and had too much work to do to spend it falling asleep all over the place, thank you.
At the sporting goods store, Savannah was hiding all the sleeping bags, which is a good idea for when she falls asleep, but Claire finds her and recruits a trooper to take her off.
Zayne and Rose were able to fit in a date, and I am so, so glad that some people can maintain normalcy.
Chuck took advantage of the fact that he was working at the bar by drinking a lot, and, Lordy, who could blame him? Barney agrees that this is a time for drinking, and I can't hardly argue since I was there, too. If I'd have known I'd be stuck in here tonight, I'd have almost thought it was prep work, especially since Chuck was a sweetheart and got me drinks because it was my birthday on Wednesday and so did Barney because he's such a gentleman.
And, you know, now that I think about it? What was even the point of reading all of that? It's not like there's anyone up to actual hear it, know what I mean?
Good riddance. And I'm taking this vodka with me.
*click*
*chittering*
