Fandom Radio :: Friday, August 21st, 2009.

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

Turtle: Gooooood evening, fellow Fandomites! You're listening to Turtle Wexler, who can actually enunciate this week...

Valentine:...and Valentine Wiggin, who never really has a problem enunciating.

Turtle: La-de-dah. At least I still stuck to my duty to radio. I'm very dedicated like that, in every different aspect of my life, really.

Valentine: You know, that's actually a really great attribute for a person in, say, politics to have.

Turtle: You think so, Valentine?

Valentine: Yeah, sure!

Turtle: Huh. Imagine that. A really good candidate, dependable like me. Common sense, really.

Valentine: It really is. Ready for the notes?

Turtle: Like a good candidate, Val, I was born ready!



SCHOOL

Valentine: In phys ed, we had an obstacle course to do, which makes sense for phys ed, but is not pleasant if you're not exactly an athlete. I mean, we're talking an eight foot wall, swimming in a pool with flames shooting over it, more climbing with the cargo net, followed by rolling on a barrel, hard biking where I preferred to just fall in the ball pit--

Turtle: BALL PIT!

Valentine: Thank you, Turtle. So, where was I. Net, barrel, bike. Right, okay. Balance beam, zipline, then finally a finish line. So a lot of stuff. It's not surprising Elena felt it a good idea to check up on Elle to make sure she survived.

Turtle: For Stategy Games, the final day means a free day to play whatever they'd like. So Emma and Ben went with chess. Also, there was a TA and a Mr. Reid.

Valentine: Rangering! finished off its semester with a quest to save a captive from a gnoll stronghold. They first had to explore the great wilderness before they could storm the castle stronghold. From there, they had to save the captive and escape, naturally, then recover afterwards. Arthur and Eric TA'd, while Gwynn got a puppy in a devil costume from Minsc. I hear its name is George.

Turtle: Miss Upland was a little feclemped over the last class of Self-Expression Through Music, which I really hope she then proceeded to express in song, but nothing in the notes about it. There was, however, not surprisingly, a snack table. It wouldn't be Miss Upland's class without it. Anyway, they gave their presentations, which the audience could enjoy. Miss Upland was still sniffing all through class, and the TAs were dutifully TAs one last time.

Valentine: Miss Garrett packed up her office, since she's moving on from her career as a Fandom High teacher.

Turtle: I wonder how that looks on a resume, anyway.

Valentine: Well, if you survive...Anyway, Cute Jack was a good boy and offered to run any errands for her while he was home, but since she's going home, she's got that covered pretty well herself. And it doesn't take Savannah long to figure out that the empty office is a good sign that Miss Garrett's leaving.

Turtle: Tyler's attempt at paperwork turns into sitting around watching videos, while Mr. Loki just played video games in his office. So much for productivity. At least Constable Fraser succeeds. You can always depend on a Mountie.



DORMS

Valentine: Ellie's bags are packed--

Turtle: *singing* She's ready to go...

Valentine:...thank you, Turtle. Sam, the one without UST with Chuck Bass, gets a call that's sending him off, too.

Valentine: Rachel finds herself enthralled by commerse--

Turtle: YAY COMMERSE!

Valentine: ...thank you, Turtle -- in the fifth floor common room, where she discusses with Jennifer working for Japhrodite, in a conversation that started with needing more money.

Turtle: Dinah gets some help on how to make cookies via phone in the third floor common room, where she gets some moral support from Yakko. Angela gets the scoop that Dinah's making the cookies for Francine and her mom,

Valentine: In the salle, Gabrielle and her staff challenge the great army of practice dummies; I'm told the bantering was good enough that it's too bad the squirrel didn't record the details, even if the whole thing was pretty one sided.

Turtle: One day, all those practice dummies are going to turn alive and seek revenge.

Valentine: ....thank you, Turtle.

Valentine: Alex, who still owes me a friendship bracelet, is out on the roof, suffocating his lungs with tar and other toxins. His frequency with this makes Emma wonder if he even has a room. Meanwhile, Triela compliments Alex's apparent ability to do highly complex mathematics without even looking studious. I'm pretty sure his face is always like that, Triela. Emma notices Triela's backpack and wonders if she's going on an adventure. Yes. Off the top of the roof...

Turtle: Might be repelling stuff! They repel off the roof a lot.

Valentine: ...thank you, Turtle. Always perceptive of sarcasm, I see.



TOWN


Valentine: At the clinic, Miss Murray busied herself with paperwork since there weren't any bodies to busy herself with.

Turtle: Not dirty.

Valentine:..thank you, Turtle. Dr. Brennan had one last cup of Fandom coffee at the Perk, and Irulan gets the chance to tell her that she's read her book and wish her luck, so on and so forth. Hurley whistled while he worked--

Turtle:*interrupting song of whistling*

Valentine: Thank you, Turtle--at the flower shop, and Chloe was making a list--

Turtle: And checking it twice!

Valentine:...thank you, Turtle.--at the comics store. Miss Connel was bored without any midgets at the hotel, and Arya is still hiring at Coyote Medicine.

Turtle: Miss Davis' horse got spooked by a teal deer over at the Gig, and when Mr. Noir shows up to point out that he forgot work on Monday, she asks him to bring in the horses, which he discovers is not a sexy metaphor. Because that'd be kind of gross. Harper inspected a skull piggy bank that came in at Things Reborn, and things were quiet for Hope at Turtle & Canary, although Mr. Dukes comes in and is glad we don't have 'it' today. What's 'it'? We have everything at Turtle & Canary, Mr. Dukes!

Valentine: Things also seemed quiet for Eve at the art gallery. Ben and Tahiri had their cute little date thing at the ice cream shoppe, and it says Turtle seemed thoughtful at Cabot and Associates. About what, Turtle?

Turtle: Green glitter.

Valentine: Aw, Turtle, if you wanted a kiss, you know you can just ask.

Turtle: Noooooo. Bad Valentine, bad! In less annoying, non-Valentine-kissing news, Kyle got a letter at the post office, and Layla tells him to throw a certain rock into the pond. Which sounds cryptic, but, apparently, Kyle knew what that meant. Detective Reese met up with him there and they don't talk about having the same last name but, instead, about getting some steaks some time. over which maybe they'll talk about having the same last name. And Kyle's talk of the machines taking over in the future probably convince Cute Jack off technology for good...

Valentine: Aw, come on. The key is just to remember that you have to have more real intelligence than the computer has artificially...

Turtle:...suuuure, Val. Anyway, Ben and Kyle said hi to each other, and so do Alex and Kyle. And at the trooper station, Sheriff Kowalski tried to get Detective Reese to get him coffee and fails, while Detective Constable Day tries to get Sheriff Kowalski to approve roller skates and fails. Which means? You guessed it. The Trooper Station was full of fail today. Wah-waaah.

Valentine: Thank you, Turtle. I was checking out all the interesting Japanese imports while working at Japhrodite's shop, where Veronica came in to get some gifts for her friends.

Turtle: Ew. I know what kind of gifts people get from there. Thank you, Valentine. And speaking of Veronica, she celebrated being all packed up with some coffee at the Perk. She was joined by Miss Davis, who was trying not to be on her ankle too much because she got thrown off a horse, ouch! Anyway, they talked about being from Cali-forn-i-aye and Mr. Noir blinding animals with his clothes. Better that than blinding animals with a lack of clothes!

Valentine: Dukes, another person we don't need to see without their clothes, comes in and skips the coffee because he's on a diet and telling Veronica about it while she tries to get him to visit her some time.

Turtle: Miss Devereaux is packing, too, but not leaving the island, just her apartment. Mr. Max came over with wine and chocolate, and we can all guess where that probably goes. And, while so many people are leaving, Japhrodite's just getting back. Hope you've been a good employee, Val.

Valentine: I'd like to see an argument against it with the sale I made today.

Turtle: Support Services was more about normal stuff being thrown at you this week, not literally, metaphorically. There were, of course, snacks, edible ones, too, as everyone gathered and mingled and ate. And then we talked about ideas for handling sudden things like that nice gender swap thing. Arthur warns Morgana not to snicker at him, which, yeah, that works, and I'm assured that Francine's cookie nibbling is in no way dirty.



Valentine: Are there any more notes?

Turtle: Nope! That's it. Quiet day!

Valentine: Kind of nice after a day like last week. Well, then, I guess that's good night, everyone.

Turtle: And have a prosperous tomorrow!
