Fandom Radio, Monday, October 26

[likethegun]

Sam: Good evening, Fandom. I'd just like to take a moment to say that despite rumors to the contrary, I am not Chuck Bass' bitch, and certain people should not agree with him on air to say that I am.

Andy: You're way too tall to be somebody's bitch.

Sam: I think I like that logic a lot. Also, my brother kind of has first claim. You know, on principle.

Andy: You're your brother's bitch? Or your brother is Chuck's bitch?

Sam: ...you know, I think I'm going to say all of the above, if only because Dean is outside of the radio signal now.

Andy: Did you have a good time with him visiting this weekend?

Sam: Yeah, with him and with everyone else. You'll see next year, once you know some alumni.

Andy: Like you.

Sam: Yeah, as weird as that is to think about.

Andy: And then people can talk about you being a bitch when you're outside of the radio signal too.

Sam: ...hey, look, the squirrels have our notes. I think I'll take a look at those now.


School News

Sam: The Applied Science students did a Halloween experiment that turned science into peanut brittle, except for Jonothon who made something called lemon angels instead. Either way, the result was awesome candy, which is one of the few nice things about this holiday.

The Hubris from Revelation class also talked about Halloween, both the variety of established traditions across religions and cultures, and similar religious festivals from the cultures of the students. After class, Jack turned in a paper to Lady Ghanima on Tao gardening, to make up for last week, and Kate asked Lady Ghanima about the paralysis part of last week's class, to which she explained that it was about accepting things we can't control. No wonder I didn't like it.

Andy: I'll accept things I can't control, but I expect to be able to control my limbs, y'know?

Sam: And I expect to stay the same color.

Andy: Except maybe on Halloween.

Sam: Hopefully not then, either. The Physical Films students got back into their uniforms to watch a pioneer love story while digging graves. I think that might just be the weirdest and most disturbing combination yet. And Sex Ed talked about foreplay, and how to do it right. That should end up making at least some people happy, I hope.

The fencing club met and practiced knocking swords out of each other's hands, even though Edmund is still a horse. Luckily, Mr. Algren was there to supervise as well. And Naomi and Robin met for band practice, and talked about their weekends while trying to figure out how to get Robin playing the accordion.


Dorm News

Andy: Over in the dorms, Leda was dancing around her room while cleaning, and Jaina and John figured out over the phone that his time has sped up again. Y'know, that's sorta a pretty unique to Fandom problem as time doesn't usually do that.

Sam: Unique to Fandom, but not surprising overall, I think. It still sucks though.

Andy: Can't argue with that. Arthur is out of town so Dinah practiced solo in the salle ths morning.

Kyle had breakfast foods up in the fifth floor common room this morning while he watched psychic detectives on TV. Rose wanted to know why he was avoiding Homecoming activities, but Kyle played dumb. Y'know there's some people around who that wouldn't be playing for.

In the third floor common room this afternoon, Cordelia was baking brownies and rice krispie treats and cupcakes and wow, I think I need to have her around the next time I get a serious case of the munchies. I think Hurley agrees with me because he declared Cordelia to be his new favourite person.

Sam: People who know how to bake well are easy to adore around here.

Andy: Easy to adore anywhere I think. Cordelia and Harper discussed alternate versions of reality and people they know from home being here. Again, pretty much just a Fandom problem.

Robin the frog told Hurley he missed Homecoming because he was making a movie in a swamp. Huh, probably a good thing he's a frog then. Cordelia told Robin the frog that Fandom is a better brand of weird than her hometown. Yeah, but is it better than a swamp?

And this evening, Tony had popcorn and cola in the second floor common room while he watched Darkest Night. Wow, every report has food in it tonight. It's making me hungry.

Sam: We'll have to find food after we're done here, 'cause I'm hungry now too.

Andy: Let's get finished fast then. Hayley told Tony he got her hooked on the show, and Dinah asked for an update on the show's status. He told her not to trust scarecrows on Hallowe'en. Is it just me or does that seem like a pretty random answer to her question?

Sam: It does seem pretty random. Maybe that's what the show is like?

Andy: Or it's another case of weird squirrel reporting. Dinah explained to Hayley how the internet is used to save shows, and Diana came to watch the show too.


Town News

Sam: Over in the town, Ender was hard at work at Stark Industries when Ben came by for their weekly date, and I'm going to note that the squirrels called it a date, not me. I mean, it's true, but still, not my word.

Mayor Summers and Jan were at the Town Hall dealing with paperwork, which sounds kind of like when Zoe has Grace "help" with the paperwork at school. Ms. Scherbatsky was there too in the Deputy Mayor's office.

Mirax did the inventory at Things Reborn, Alex was studying spells at the Magic Box, Oz was playing with the Halloween decorations at the Holiday Grove, and Dani cleaned out the loft at the Gig. Millie brought some romance novels for the nurses with her to the clinic. I'm not sure if that was to get rid of them, or to keep the nurses occupied, or both, but whatever the reason, I hope it worked.

Derek was in a bad mood at Morgan's Hardware Store, until Castiel came by wanting to know why humans sometimes enjoy hurting each other. If that had anything to do with the Homecoming Carnival, Mr. Morgan, I'm really sorry.

Ino had some hot chocolate at the Perk and got a Tully as well to chat with. Aphrodite was at Dite's Decadent Delights when a fidgety, uncomfortable Castiel came by. Chuck, I hope you're happy, because I assume you had something to do with getting an angel into a sex shop.

Andy: There's probably some kind of metaphor about seven minutes in heaven or something there somewhere.

Sam: I don't know how the whole island hasn't been struck by lightning at this rate. And speaking of Chuck, he was smoking in the park when Yuffie passed by and stroked his ego, and thank you for that helpful "not dirty" addition to the note, squirrels. That's important to know.

Lacey was on her laptop at Luke's Diner, and Tim wanted to know what she was working on while George, Bobby, and Kyle had their weekly lunch.

Aphrodite and Max ran into each other and made plans to go out and play pool tonight, and Adrian made Tino do all of the hard work at Caritas. Mina came in for a drink, much to Adrian's delight, as did Mary, although she only ordered a club soda. When Mina asked Mary why she wasn't drinking, she said she's setting up a good example for Gunther. Awww. Also in need of a good example were Rose and Elena, who came in for Elena's birthday. They asked if they had to pay for drinks due to the birthday girl, and Adrian was nice and gave them their booze for free.

Andy: Y'know other people are going to try that to get free drinks now.

Sam: Maybe, but you can only have so many birthdays in a year before it gets noticeable.

Andy: You could say you're going by the time where you're from and it's had one of those speeding up things happening.

Sam: Now that would be an idea worth trying.

Andy: I'm good with ideas.

Sam: Like going somewhere and getting food now that we're out of notes?

Andy: Just like that.
