Fandom Radio, September 29

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

Lacey: That's funny, she's usually here by now . . . oh well. Hi, Fandom, happy Tuesday evening. This is Lacey Burrows, and it looks like I'll be covering the news alone tonight.

*door opening and closing*

Gabrielle: Oh, I remember this place. With the squirrels! . . . don't eat me.

Tahiri: Sit down and read and maybe they won't.

Lacey: Wait, why are both of you here?

Tahiri: Because someone keeps trying to sneak up on me again tonight, and thanks a lot, whoever gave her those little tiny caffeine drinks.

Lacey: . . . um.



Classes

Tahiri: That was you? Oh, fantastic. You, read already.

Gabrielle: All right, all right! Oooooh, notes. Let's see what they have to say tonight! Classical Genre got to watch a film today since Rick lost his voice, but they had to earn it by discussing the doorstopper novels they read for their assignment. Fandom Versus the Real World got students prepared for this weekend by talking about girls being boys last week, and practicing their explanations of the, ah, strange and quirky things that happen on this island. With a little practice you could come up with some really creative explanations.

Lacey: Oh, yeah. Like, I bet you could --

Tahiri: Please. Don't encourage her.

Gabrielle: And then -- aha! Sex Thru the Ages had an easy day with a film about pie. I'm not sure what pie has to do with sex.

Tahiri: Do you want to? Because I'll tell you if it means I can forget.

Lacey: . . . that has got to be unsanitary.

Tahiri: Ew. Can we go back to the notes now? Please?

Lacey: Oh, sure. Anyone Can Cook learned about sauces. *chittering laughter* That could have had a better segue. And then, of course made their own. Sauces. *more chittering laughter* Stop that.

Gabrielle: I don't see what's so --

Lacey: Just read, Gabrielle.

Gabrielle: You just think I'm good at it. World Wars in the Media got talked at a lot by Mitchell about the Roaring Twenties, and got to participate in a 1920s dance.

Lacey: Ooooh, that sounds like fun. The butterfly in the library today was, the squirrels assure me, Anemone. The squirrels also assure me that in the cafeteria today, Jonas was not literally embracing his lunch.

Tahiri: Embracing . . . food . . . no. Bad. Sharing food, like Jonas and Karla did, that's not bad. I think I might be put off all food for a while now. Diana told Jonas the food wouldn't bite when she noticed how he was. Um. Handling it -- I really hate my Tuesday class sometimes. Jonas told Beka that he made his own lunch today, and he was really excited about that. And then -- someone else read this.

Lacey: Oh, you mean the bit about the --

Tahiri: Yeah. Fred took up his office hours time by playing with little green army men, Summer and Elizabeth Bennet were both going over notes for next class except Miss Bennet had tea, and Master Skywalker got his usual visit from Rachel, who told him about the weird stuff that happened last week, and Jaina, who said that . . . Jacen's coming to visit. Oh, boy. Gabrielle. Now that you've had another one of those drinks, why don't you read?

Gabrielle: Absoluteley. Doctor Sweets had a assembly about teenage sex, but apparently the squirrels would rather have focused on the mingling, mostly Mat and Karla flirting and sneaking off early to . . . oh. Squirrel, is that conjecture? *chitters* In the question and answer session, Hayley asked if sex with aliens is different. The answer to that could have been in one of the pamphlets available. Or not.

Dorms

Tahiri: I just love that we go from talking about that to talking about the dorms.

Lacey: And that's why I'm leaving this part up to you two, since I'd feel inappropriate making that segue.

Tahiri: Thanks. Really. What, do you think that's all that happens in there or something? Effy was up on the roof reading, and the squirrel is awfully emphatic about how she was reading and not smoking, which, see, has nothing to do with what Lacey thinks . . . except for when Karev, who's my favorite little sibling like a hungry, blind rancor is my favorite thing to be stuck in a room with, came up to talk about Parent's Weekend and get touchy-feely with Effy. I should have shuffled these notes.

Gabrielle: Give them here, I could help you with that. Karev was putting up post-its advertising a roof party on Thursday, too. Reserves -- I knew I forgot to do something today.

Tahiri: Your memory probably gets knocked right out of your head when you're busy bouncing around like that. Put away the Beaver Buzz.

Lacey: Oh, yikes.

Gabrielle: *rattlerattlecrash* Anyway! Reserves got together to pair up for sparring, or discuss explosives if they were Ino and Jennifer. Or talk about Parents' Weekend and how going home is bad, if they were Tahiri and Ben. Going home is bad?

Tahiri: It usually involves a lot of getting shot at?

Gabrielle: Oh. Well, get back to me when it involves a lot of getting kidnapped.

Tahiri: Actually --

Lacey: Boy, when they say there's no place like home. It is not news that Zack was bouncy, but Layla did come by to give him a gift that made him blush. Aww. In a different kind of 'aww,' Leto was there but didn't get any gifts.

Gabrielle: This morning, someone was messing with Bobby's showerhead . . . hey. That is not an appropriate way to treat someone like Bobby! Francine and Merlin got a phone call that had them taking off off-island today, and Dinah's visit from Jaime almost ended up with knee-related unconsciousness when Dinah's kitten tried to escape. Aravis's experiments in her room with her new hookah pipe got Mat's attention, and -- hey, I was reading that!

Tahiri: So sneak up on me again and try to grab it back. Bet you can't. And Jaina was getting ready to go out running. Again. Um, Jaina, are you okay?

Town

Lacey: And now on to news that I feel like I can talk about without feeling quite so uncomfortable. Like Pixie Dust, where Cordelia was trying on the new boots, Book Haven, where Hinata spent time sleeping presumably because playing with a kitten is tiring, Covent Garden Flowers where Ino was paying more attention to her phone conversation than the flowers, and Cafe Fina, where Lion-O was more interested in eating cake than admiring the silverware's big dance number. Mary was at the Arms shopping online for fake sugar -- Mary, if that's what I think it is, I have to drop by with a list of suggestions for you. At Photo Hut, Jack Burton and the cameras' timer function weren't getting along, and it was Spock's first day of work at Stark Industries.

Tahiri: Hi, much less rancor-like little brother.

Lacey: Loki was playing with his cell phone at the MHA lobby. The squirrels make a point of noting that he's a giant dork, and I quote. Jono got an awkward visit from Didi at Groovy Tunes, where she had to assure him she isn't dating Jean. She was, however, working at Turtle and Canary, and Jen Walters dropped by The Gig on Ellie's shift to fix the problem of how they'd been avoiding each other. Rachel wasn't really reading the book she had with her at Dite's Decadent Delights.

Gabrielle: That's a shame. Can I read it instead? Tim was skeptical of comic reviews at the Android's Dungeon, and Oz was at Coyote Medicine singing along with the radio. Oooh, is that another Beaver Buzz shot, you wonderful fuzzy little squirrel? Can I --

*PANICKED CHITTER*

Gabrielle: Okay then. Rose got bulled into teaching the Atlas Gym 'cardiofunk' class, and at Caritas tonight, Marshall was trying to goad Tino into making him take a dare. That seems like a bad idea.

Tahiri: So does staying here, if we're out of notes. Quit trying to sneak up on me already.

Lacey: Okay, you two. But since we are out of notes, good night, Fandom! This is Lacey Burrows signing off on behalf of myself and the . . . chattery hyper duo over there.
