Fandom Radio, May 23

Hello and good evening, Fandom! This is Lieutenant Archie Kennedy, and I'm not actually sure where I've been all day. There's a distinct possibility that I was lost in the woods. Navigating on land is not exactly my strong point. So tonight as I report the news to you, well, it's just as much news to me.

Workshop Time!

In Chloe's Writing workshop, Marie got acquainted with Cameron and Liz, Kawalsky and Rory became better acquainted, Janet and Alanna tried to figure out why they decided to take a morning workshop, and Cameron, Kawalsky, and Janet talked to Chloe.

The First Aid workshop didn't waste any time getting into it, did they? While one group dealt with a car crash, another group had a a chaotic restaurant scenario involving accident-prone workers and a choking man. And the third group? Oh, the third group. Apparently they had to rescue a beachful of sunburn victims from . . . angry badgers. And then everyone discovered the virtues and versatility of triangular bandages.

In Jay and Silent Bob's Documentary workshop, students introduced themselves before learning to use cameras.

On to afternoon workshops. Archery convened, where Parker met Gwynn and talked to Janet and Sam Winchester. Said Sam passed notes with Dawn, Bel and Isabel speculated on what the next monster invasion will be, and Buffy was upset about not being able to shoot things. Dean is apparently afraid of Miho, about which Parker taunted him, and talked to Dawn about her morning; Molly chatted with the Winchesters, and even managed to ask Miho a question and emerge alive!

Is Scoobying like Smurfing? Probably not. But students discussed the importance of doughnuts in a crisis. Er -- all right. Then the group was split in half, with one group trying to steal the doughnuts the other group was trying to courier to the heroes. Jamie's multiples chased Nadia and Greg, Cordelia and Lana chased each other back to camp, Draco stole Blair's doughnuts, Rory attempted to steal Bridge's doughnuts, and Jamie and Z multiplied at each other.

Definitely smurfy.

Campfire Stories and Songs can be smurfy, but I'm not sure if the workshop was actually smurfy. Well, I'm sure it was smurfy in several senses. Just not necessarily the one I've been using. After introductions, Professor Ted told a story that my notes tell me was the best ever, and students signed up for their turn to tell stories.

Happenings in the Wardroom and Sickbay

Professor Calendar sent out a course outline to her workshop students, and Principal Washburn held office hours.

Doctor Troy was in the clinic this morning, where Joxer woke up and got released, and Nadia came by to get her cast removed, apparently much sooner than was to be expected. Doctor Lambert's evening shift was quiet and uneventful, which may have contributed to the good mood I'm told she was in.

Tempe and Marie got acquainted in the dining hall, while Pippi and Nadia planned. Planned what? I don't know.

In the Very Woodsy Crew Berths

*rustles papers* *sniffles*

You know, looking over these notes, I miss Professor Skeeter and the weekly Crichton Menagerie Report. Over at the Squirrel campfire, a post-nightmare Nadia was comforted by Walter, who promised to do the same in case she had more nightmares later. She promised, in exchange, not to glue his head to the pillow. Modern courting customs are so complicated. After Pippi and Nadia discussed how the latter was healed by Demyx, a plague of ennui struck. Yes, I said ennui. It's much more sophisticated than everyday boredom, which Nadia concocted a plot to conquer. Walter had tea with a glittery Seras. Do they make glitter tea? I'd think it would be popular around these parts. After all, they have diet teas and digestive teas and so forth these days. Why not anti-emo tea?

What in hell was going on early this morning between the Meerkat and Stickbug cabins? Apparently there were shirtless insane boys by the names of Jamie, Crichton, Tyler, English Peter, Original Alliterative Peter, Cameron, and Kawalsky, er . . . falling artistically and singing Rob Thomas songs? Yes, that would be insane, all right. Actually I'm frightened. They must have been suicidal, waking up Buffy, Molly, Rory, and Aeryn without even bringing them coffee, even though they claimed they had coffee. Honestly. There was poledancing by Greg, schottische-ing by English Peter, mooning by Jamie, and flexing and stripping by Cameron. All of you are lucky Aeryn only threatened to harm you.

Of course, Buffy was there in, I quote, ass-kicking boots, with Molly right behind her. And Rory, who'd been taunted with the promise of coffee? Hell hath no fury like a coffee-less Rory. Hello, Rory! And then the boys fled.

And then there were ducks. And vows of revenge. Oh, that's just fowl.

In the Seahorse common room, D'Anna had baked goods for Cedric and talked workshops with Dean. Cedric and Dean discussed the enticement value of baked goods as well; Tyler paid a visit, and Sam and D'Anna plotted revenge.

At the Pangolin campfire, Bridge and Parker discussed Xander's workshop, space ninjas, and Willow. How's that for a diverse range of topics? Bridge and Bel bemoaned the injustice -- I'm sorry, I ran out of b-words -- of the seniors sequestered in separate cabins. Bel lit Parker's fire -- smurfy -- and talked to her about Angel, and Elizabeth talked about workshops with Bridge and Parker. Apparently there were doughnuts, because Sawyer showed up for one. Bridge was bouncy for other reasons: namely, Xander came by. Tempe came by as well.

At the Stickbug campfire, which is a phrase that sounds like a catastrophic conflagration of innocent insects but probably isn't, Pippi filmed English Peter talking about his workshop. Peter, John, and Greg awaited retribution from the Meerkats, and when Cameron showed up, the notion of sleeping in shifts was discussed. I've got quite a bit of experience in that regard, if you're interested.

In the Meerkat common room, Alanna offered to help Rory with her sunburn. Revenge was the topic of discussion for Aeryn, Rory, and Isabel, Molly was still unhappy about the ducks, and Dawn rallied the group. Well done, Dawn!

Phoebe rescued Ranma, who was terrified of a cat in the Koala cabin, as the screaming might have indicated. Ranma later slept on the roof, which is where Sakurazaki found him. At the Puffin campfire Sakurazaki filmed Jude and Al as they conversed.

Tyler was playing basketball in the camp gym, where he was joined by Sawyer, a deservedly paranoid Jamie, Tempe, and John, then Greg later. There was drilling, and John cheated by tickling and noogieing Parker, and English Peter watched -- smurfy!

Cedric was wandering about in a towel this morning? Of course Jack flirted with him. Blair and Bel discussed taste in clothing, and Blair also talked about food and Canada with Jude. Janet wandered into Koala by accident. Hurrah, other people who get lost in the woods! Aeryn couldn't sleep and made a phone call instead, D'Anna and Rory sent email, and Gwynn wrote home.

Speaking of home -- Anakin's back!

Tempe fell asleep in the Pangolin common room, and had a glittery rendezvous with Sawyer in the woods.

At the Three-Toed Sloth campfire, Cordelia was not very cordial to Willow, but I'm assuming Willow's meeting with Tim was more pleasant, as was her conversation with Lyta about shyness and stage fright.

On Shore Leave, Which is a Longer Trip This Week

Welcome back, Barbossa!

Admiral Harrington picked up an order from Sparky Repairs today, and at the Perk, Veronica got a phone call and met Professor Arroway. Elle and Jay were talking about girls, also at the Perk. Interesting. Jaye and Alec were at the Perk too, thereby making it peculiarly popular today.

Walter was at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes -- whew -- as was Paige. Willow talked with Jamie and English Peter at Empire Records, as well. At the Fourth Sin, Jarod got a phone call.

Giles's shop was invaded by Hermione and Willow, and visited -- though perhaps not invaded -- by Sam Winchester who my notes tell me is cute, though I've not met him and can't judge for myself yet. Seras wanted books on alchemy, and Tim on faery tales.

Cafe Fina was quiet tonight, though Caritas wasn't, even if I wasn't there. Cameron was, though, and talked to Veronica about her workshop; they also sang a duet. I'm rather sorry I missed it. Veronica got acquainted with Kaylee and Clark as well. Er . . .I hope one of you walked her home, since I wasn't there.

*rustles papers* *sputters*

What? Good God, that's inhuman! At All and Sundries today, EDMUND MADE ARTIE CRY. Tempe came in for glitter, but all the glitter in the world can't possibly make up for a crying Artie, or so I'm told.

That's a terribly depressing note on which to end tonight's broadcast, isn't it? Unfortunately I'm afraid I'm out of news. So this is Archie Kennedy striking colors and signing off, and wishing you all a fair wind and clear skies, and a very good night indeed.

Now, let's hope I can find my way back to my cabin . . .

"Peter did what?" Willow asked. Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately - the radio still wasn't talking back to her.

Veronica was glad to hear that Archie was okay, but was still concerned that he'd gotten lost. She made a note to find him after her workshop and make sure everything was all right.

Giles, listening to the radio in his flat, set his cup and saucer on the table with a clatter when he heard about Artie.

"Oh, bad form, Edmund. Bad form."

EDMUND DID WHAT?
