Fandom Radio, Monday, October 19
Andy: Evening, Fandom. Welcome back.
Sam: I hope everyone enjoyed their Fall Break, and that you didn't miss us too much last week.
Andy: If you did, you could've just listened to old broadcasts, y'know.
Sam: It might not have been the same, but it could have come close. Luckily, you don't have to settle for that, because we're back with actually current news.
Andy: Such as it is.
School News
Sam: The Applied Science class learned about strange things that have happened outside of Fandom, like Stonehenge and the Moai statues of Easter Island, and tried to come up with sensical explanations for how they occurred.
The Hubris from Revelation class got a visit from Biff, who talked to us about qi had everyone move furniture to balance the qi of a room, and then gave us tea which temporarily paralyzed us so he and Lady Ghanima could paint our faces blue. I think lesson was supposed to be about letting go of fear or something, but the real lesson was never, ever drink anything that Biff offers you, unless you don't like the color of your skin that day. You should all be very glad that we do this over the radio, and not on TV.
Andy: I, uh, actually didn't drink the tea. Much, at least.
Sam: Then why are you blue?
Andy: It would've been rude to say no. Also it's kinda cool, don't you think?
Sam: I think our faces are blue and I don't know how long it'll last. After class, Rachel asked Lady Ghanima about extra lessons, and Biff and Lady Ghanima played with the paint some more, which isn't fair because they could move at the time.
The Physical Films class got back into their uniforms to watch Cliffhanger while walking on StairMasters, hopefully doing both at the same time without hurting themselves.
The Sex Ed class discussed sex myths, old wives' tales, and all the other "facts" that people assume to be true, but that might not actually be right.
Max called Fiona into his office to talk about her relatives that he met over Parents Weekend, and the Fencing Club members paired off against each other this week. In particular, Emma and Dinah went up against each other in what the squirrels considered "a pretty match." Ladies, you can pretend that said "a pretty even match" if that makes a difference.
Andy: I wonder about these squirrels sometimes. I really do.
Sam: I think they're what happens if you live here for too long.
Andy: I start making lewd comments and lusting after beings who aren't even my species?
Sam: ...okay, maybe they're not exactly what happens, but they're close.
Andy: I'm totally calling your brother and telling him to haul your ass out of here if you start acting like that.
Dorm News
Andy: Over in the dorms, Francine and Katchoo were arguing about how there'd been kissing-and-running-away on the trip. Okay that sounds like an interesting trip. Was this the school one or one of their own?
Sam: I think they went on the school trip.
Andy: Is kissing and running away a usual pastime on school trips?
Sam: No, not usually, thankfully.
Andy: Now if it was kissing and running away from squirrels, I'd understand. Didi stopped by Kate's wondering why she's blue. In both senses of the word. Come on people, lighten up. I think the blue's kinda cool. I mean, it's like woad or something.
Sam: That has to be one of the geekiest things I've ever heard you say. I mean that in a totally complimentary way, of course. Anyway, some people just don't like having the status quo of their appearance messed with.
Andy: They must be really depressed around Hallowe'en then. Arthur was in the salle. Because it's Monday. Some people react that way to Mondays. Y'know, wanting to beat things up. Merlin was there as well, and had discovered Wikipedia. Oh man, I love that site. You can just surf from one thing to another for hours. It's like giving the computer your wandering thoughts.
Sam: And it's not nearly as addictive as TV Tropes.
Andy: Dinah and Arthur caught up on what they did on the school trip and Dinah had a hard time picturing Arthur playing foosball. I love foosball.
Jaime made chili in the third floor common room and talked to Hurley about watching Dinah fall out of her raft on the school trip. Momoko lamented about how boring campus had been when everyone was gone, and Hurley told her that he only sorta had fun on the trip because Penelope had left.
Sam: Ouch, I know how much that sucks. Tony was watching Darkest Night in the second floor common room tonight, along with the show's other addicts. Dinah teased him about dating one of the leads, but not without him teasing her back. Rachel wondered what Tony was getting so excited about, and Dinah explained that Tony used to work on the show. Blysse and Blind Seer arrived right on schedule, and Dinah was excited to see them too. Hayley got a rundown of the show, since she's never seen it before, and Joan did too, so she could stick around to watch as well.
Town News
Sam: Ender was hard at work at Stark Industries, and his usual visit from Ben was a little unusual due to the fact that he was still blue from class. That didn't stop them from discussing their upcoming trip though, and hopefully, the paint will wash off before then.
Liz was at work at the Arms Hotel, Alex was reading a magazine at the Magic Box, Dani was riding some of the horses at the Gig, and Mirax was being...less than productive at Things Reborn. Calling someone "lazy" isn't nice, squirrels.
Andy: It's better than some of the things they've called others.
Sam: That...is absolutely true, good point. Kate had breakfast at the Perk and Tony stopped in for coffee too. Lacey was making notes and scaring the staff at Luke's Diner, where the Weetiny Boys Club of Bobby, Kyle, and George met to discuss how gullible Bobby is. I'd ask "How gullible is he?" but there doesn't seem to be an answer for that in here.
Hannibal was trying to improve his bowling skills at Fast Eddie's and Aphrodite was in a terrible mood when she opened up her shop. Adrian was actually early to his shift at Caritas, so beware the flying pigs and all that. Mina came in for a drink, and talked to Jack Priest about how their respective break weeks went. She also flirted with Adrian, who made sure to introduce himself to Jack.
And there was a very cheery Millie in the clinic today.
Andy: Cheery is better than cranky.
Sam: Cheery usually means there's no patients, which means no one is sick, which is always a good thing around here.
Andy: Or anywhere really.
Sam: It's especially good here. The next time we have free time, remind me to tell you about the plague. And speaking of free time, those are all the notes I had.
Andy: Me too. Guess that means we're done for the night.
Sam: I guess so too. Want to get a drink, and you can tell me how your last week went?
Andy: Sure, dude. Just as long as it's not tea.
Sam: I hope everyone enjoyed their Fall Break, and that you didn't miss us too much last week.
Andy: If you did, you could've just listened to old broadcasts, y'know.
