Turtle: Good evening, fellow Fandomites! Thankfully, neither me or my cohost in bringing you the news are small and furry, so we're here to faithfully return to dictating all the gossip that you want to hear...

Valentine: And a lot of the gossip you don't want to hear, as well. Valentine Wiggin here, and, of course, Turtle Wexler, and we're just going to get right to business and right to the note tonight.

SCHOOL

Valentine: Summer Vacation talked about different modes of travel, like plane, train, or automobile. I'm noticing a distinct lack of spaceships. I'm from the future, so it's notable for me.

Turtle: Self-Expression through Music talked about musicians who changed the world, as well as the fiiiinal, and Miss Upland is srs bsnz about her finals, ohmygod.

Turtle: Rangering! covered tracking and plant identification today, where Fiona helped Himura with figuring out the hand-outs and Arthur and Eric were there for great TA duty. And, of course, they worked on sparring and shooting to keep up their skills.

Valentine: We rolled around a big ball shaped like the earth in phys ed today, which put a nice literal spin on the idea of controling the world. No, that will never cease to amuse me, or my brother. Dukes threw dodge balls at us if we started to slack off, too. Thankfully, he didn't think I was slacking off last week and accepted that I was a cat. If he hadn't, though, I could have probably benefitted that Angela in her current furry form was with Hannibal while he TA'd.

Turtle: Strategy Games did a lesson on chess--

Valentine: Chess will make an appearance again later, just wait.

Turtle: Oh, believe me, I can't. Anyway, lecture was followed by playtime, as you can imagine.

Turtle: And the teachers' meeting started off with Principal Winchester being all, "yeah, sorry about the whole alternate universe thing. Blah blah blah, Fandom." Which probably had everyone bobbing their heads in agreement. Anyway, everyone enjoyed pie and ice cream and coffee before Principal Winchester discussed business. Well, not everyone. I mean Mr. Stinson had scotch, and Mr. Dukes just had water, which Detective Constable Day, who just had coffee, noticed. And Mr. Dex put ice cream in his coffee, which, oh my gosh, why haven't I tried that? That's brilliant! Even if the man's stupid for always putting us in those uniforms. Anyway, Miss David and Mr. Bond both skipped the pie, too, which makes me wonder what's wrong with all these teachers. It's piiiiie.

Valentine: Castle got pie. So did Minsc.

Turtle: Sure, but Tyler, Dr. Brennan and Miss Atreides didn't. That's a definite majority, Val.

Valentine: But you hardly need a majority of non-pie eaters to know that teachers here are weird.

DORMS

Valentine: Leto is working on bladework in the salle and Turtle is shocking me by not bitchfacing.

Turtle: Why would I? It's important for him to keep trained; I don't bitchface over everything, Val.

Valentine: Well, Triela, who stopped by to watch, appears to be doing some bitchfacing of her own, and Fiona also swung by to work a bit with her tessan.

Turtle: Ino got back from her room seeming pretty upset, while Kate snacks and watches TV and doesn't turn into a kitten.

Valentine: Jean and Tybalt had what I am most certain was a very innocent date in the pool tonight.

Turtle: Oh! Was there failed attempts at groping in this one, too?

*paper rustling*

Well?

Valentine: I...don't know. All the notes after mentioning Tybalt's banana hammock appear to be smeared with Nutella.

Turtle: Eeeew.

Valentine: Oh, Nutella's not that bad.

Turtle: Not the Nutella! Tybalt in a banana hammock!

Valentine: *pause* I'm not making a conclusion on that one until I see it.

Turtle: *gag*

Valentine: I just feel I don't kno whim well enough to make an educated conclusion, Turtle.

Turtle: Whatever. In the fourth floor common room, Sookie goes on a banana pudding rampage. Maybe she's preggers.

Valentine: Only if she starts adding pickles to it. Hannibal and his still-animal girlfriend make their way down and he approves, while George Cooper wonders what Sookie's making. Yakko arrives just in time to deliver a message from the Wheel of Morality, which surprisingly had little to do with allergies, although Sookie did make sure Bobby didn't have any before feeding him pudding. Bobby then informs George that he's got pudding, so he's happy, which makes him pretty easy. Bobby and Hannibal also bond over being drawn in by food, while Claudia can get down with banana pudding, because bananas are a part of banana splits.

Valentine: George and Claudia correctly identify each other as 'cute' and 'pretty' respectively before introducing themselves by name. And Jennifer doesn't even care what it is, she just knows that she wants some.

Turtle: That's because Jennifer is not afraid of taking risks, an excellent quality for a future potential member of Student Council!

Valentine: Even if she fails at keeping up with George.

Turtle: Hey, she apologized for it! It's easy to get busy around here.

Turtle: Rose was doing some reading in her room on a Friday night, which makes her in the same category of nerd as Val. And there's a violet in Tara's room, which seems significant to note, especially since there's no Tara in Tara's room. Hmmm.

TOWN

Turtle: Rachel enjoyed a quiet corner of the park this afternoon. That is, until Mr. Max came around and she kind of freaked out on him because in that freaky-deaky AU-verse he was a total bad guy. And he's all, 'whoa, whoa, calm down, that was freaky-deaky Fandom, not this one. Chill.' So she's all, 'Cool,' and they talk about her being an empath.

Valentine: Your powers of summary amaze me, Turtle.

Turtle: Aw, thanks, Val! At the Trooper Station, Sheriff Kowalski has some flailing about being Sheriff, but that doesn't stop Detective Constable Day and Detective Reese from congratulating him.

Valentine: At the comic shop, Chloe was calling home about getting two jobs...

Turtle: Join the club. In this economy...

Valentine: ...right. And Haley found some old CDs of Nostalgia at Guilty as Charged, and that kept her busy for a while. Liir appeared to be in a good mood at the book shop,
while Hurley was just confused at the flower shop. Dani was distinctly distracted--

Turtle: Nice alliteration!

Valentine: Thanks. Anyway, cute new colts aren't condusive to chores at the Gig.

Turtle: You're on a roll, Val!

Valentine: Thanks. Unfortunately, I've got nothing for when Oz stops by and Dani gets all pouty that Vince is there for his 'investment,' not her. Harper puzzles over the immortal egg holder pricing conundrum at the resale shop. Rachel Price is hiring for some help at MCA, although she doesn't seem to need any help renting an apartment to Dukes. Getting him up the stairs, maybe, but not renting to him. Murdock and Miss Garrett had a date over at Outback, which the squirrels seems to have a suspicion might not go well for them, Miss Connell tried to be stealthy at the hotel, but wasn't doing very well, and . I tried out some very artistic versions of chess at Japhrodite's shop.

Turtle: Eeeeeeew.

Valentine: And then Turtle was very respectable in her job and just put away files.

Turtle: Good, honest, not disgusting work, thank you. In the Support Service news, Morgana lead the meeting in thanking everyone for all their hard work last week, and opened the discussion up for ideas on analyzing the job they did to make it even better next time something big happens. Fiona and Claire, and I were there, and Arthur was being his usual lurking self, though Katina lurked, too. Priestly brought sandwiches, Gabrielle was humming, and Dinah brought pastries and compliments, the former of which Claire is definitely eager to check out. Harper and Hoshi both seemed very pleased, probably because it was all over.

Then we talked about our experiences through things last week, which meant I didn't have much to say. I was a freaking turtle. Layla also made the suggestion of checking out some underground maps to avoid being eaten in the future.

Morgana and Francine--

Valentine: And their breasts.

Turtle: *sigh* And their breasts were there if anyone needed them. Katina apparently needed Francine, so she could talk to her and Francine could be all excited because she came to check things out.

Valentine: At the clinic, Miss Murray kept herself busy, until Minsc showed up to see if she wanted to go storm a castle with him. Zack brought his sword with him--not dirty-- to the gym, where he was to have a nice, healthy coping session with Deadpool. And there's a gerbil involved. So not touching that one. And Hope caught up with her usual magazine reading at Turtle & Canary.

Turtle: Where you can get all the latest magazines at twenty percent off! And in Mr. Stark's loft--

*pause*

Valentine: In Mr. Stark's loft, since Turtle seems uncomfortable reading these notes by the look on her face, Tyler and Jarvis had a conversation about free will and living life without scars.

Turtle: And at Caritas, Chuck's loving the booze, but not the REO Speedwagon, and I can't blame him on that last one. Miss Price needs a stiff one that Chuck is happy to provide--

Valentine: I assume you mean a drink, there.

Turtle: Of course I mean a drink! What else would I mean? Anyway, Alex, the one Val likes, gets a beer, and meets Chuck the Bartender.

Valentine: Oh, Turtle. You shouldn't make things up like that.

Turtle: I didn't make it up; he did meet Chuck, and Chuck is a bartender. La. Anyway, when Chuck asked Deputy Mayor Scherbatsky about her new ring, she got all weird about it. Miss Aldrin, however, is a little skeptical about it.

Valentine: And there you have it. The news. Hope you all enjoyed this little peek into everyone else's personal lives. Good night...

Turtle: And have a prosperous tomorrow!
