Fandom Radio, December 1
Lacey: Good evening, Fandom, and happy Tuesday! Lacey Burrows here, as usual, and as usual accompanied by Grumpyface McStormcloud.
Katchoo: Well, that's a new one. Maybe I'll get a fake ID that says that.
Lacey: Really?
Katchoo: No, you ditz, unless I want to completely defeat the purpose of the damn thing.
Lacey: Oh, right. . . . okay! Who wants to see what we've got to report on tonight?
Classes
Katchoo: Seein' as I had a pile of paper shoved in my face by a squirrel, I guess I don't get to say no to that question. So, Classical Genre: romantic films.
Lacey: Aw, I love those.
Katchoo: And not a person or squirrel in this room right now is surprised. They talked about which movies they watched, and then watched a Hitchcock film.
Lacey: . . . romantic Hitchcock film?
Katchoo: Oh geez, she's going space-cadet on me again. Kinda terrified space-cadet. Rick was around to talk to, so was Helen, and we move on to Fandom Versus the Real World and the tips everybody got on invasions, with lecture and a handout to discuss, or Aeryn to talk to if that was more your thing. Sex Thru the Ages got to do lecture and discussion time on somethin' called the Ferengi. Not asking. But, y'know, if people wanted to ask, there was always Kirk and Algren. And --
Lacey: Gah!
Katchoo: Oh, look, she's back. Here. Read.
Lacey: . . . oooh. Anyone Can Cook got to hear Colette teach them how to make chocolate truffles. I've never tried to make . . . oh. Well, the students made some, or tried to, at least, and of course Colette and Priestly were around. World Wars in the Media got a lecture on Stalin, um, erasing people . . . figuratively and literally, as in out of photographs the class had to examine. Dinah was there in the fine TA tradition, and Kate talked to Mitchell about egg nog and vegetables and don't we just love Fandom sometimes? Yes, we do. Really.
Katchoo: Wow, Lacey, was that actual sarcasm? Not bad. Summer didn't have a problem with the egg nog, actually, since she had some in her office. And, oh, look, even though Raven can't heal egg nog, or so she says, she visited Anakin in his office to do her squealing fangirl thing or whatever the hell it is.
Dorms
Lacey: Now I'm picturing her doing a thing like with the Beatles and oh, look, more notes. Isn't that convenient? Reserves met behind the dorms, as usual, and today's big feature was Mat and Arthur dueling with quarterstaffs. Quarterstaves? No, the notes actually ask that.
Katchoo: And here I'm mostly thinking: oh, god, boys swinging big sticks around. Why am I not surprised? Geez. Hopefully somebody in the audience was thinking it too, if they weren't too busy mingling, like Ben and Tiny Creepy Kid, or discussing tactics for different sections of the island, like Dinah and Ino did. Or talking to the reserves leaders. Ino did that to Zack, sorta. The squirrel insists that she asked him, and this is all in block letters, ELEVENTY BILLION questions startin' with his shoe size. Uh.
Lacey: Do they rent deep cleaners for people's brains? Because I'd be more than happy to loan you the money for the rental fee.
Katchoo: Zing. Karla was in her room reading today and takin' care of Merlin the robot baby. Leto dropped in and told her all about the actual non-robot kids who showed up last year, and I dunno if that helped. Ben got teased about his hair, embarrassed some, and tried to claim he only lost at some game because he didn't know all the rules. Shyeah. Then Jack Priest came to walk her to town for the rehearsal and . . . yeah, a conversation that goes from her uncle the high lord of hell to Jack not planning to have kids someday is one I'm not gonna think too hard about.
Lacey: Me neither. So let's talk about people's lives getting made difficult by egg nog, like Jaina, whose failed shower attempt led to her staying in her room and getting a phone call, and Kate, who had Hannibal come by and complain about the egg nog and stall a lot when she asked about his dance number. In non-egg nog news, Alice lit a candle in her room, and my tear-blotched notes say it was very solemn, and then Leto came to see her. Hinata was playing with her kitten and got a visit from Hayley, which sounds less uncomfortable than poor egg nog-soaked Momoko, whose cat was licking her hair while she tried to read.
Katchoo: Aaaaaaaaand up in the third floor common room tonight, Bobby and Kennedy were watching something about monkeys and throwing popcorn.
Lacey: Wait, was it a show about monkeys throwing popcorn, or . . .
Katchoo: Even if it was, I wouldn't watch it.
Town
Lacey: In local business news, Spock was at Stark Industries and not too happy about the weather, Hinata was at Book Haven dealing with, quote, "egg nog issues," Jill started work at Fourth Dimension Art Gallery, Ino was at Covent Garden Flowers playing with -- uh -- poison plants, Tim was reading comics at Android's Dungeon, and Didi, in a clever business move, had a sale on bottled water at Turtle and Canary. The trooper station had egg nog issues too: Gibbs was dealing with phone calls about it, and Vimes wanted to know why we don't have a wizard working on the problem.
Katchoo: Don't know if it was egg nog related, but Dani Davis didn't know what day it was when she came in to the Gig on Ellie's shift. At Coyote Medicine, Oz had -- I know this doesn't sound right, but -- Native American Christmas music. Jonothon was tryin' to give away holiday CDs at Groovy Tunes, Rose mixed weight training and droid baby watching at Atlas Gym, Lion-O wasn't happy about the egg nog at Cafe Fina, Mary was happy about having a lot of Diet Coke on hand at the Arms, Raven got talked into delivering holiday party invitations by her boss at Dite's Decadent Delights. Gibbs wanted to know what the hell Jack O'Neill was doing skinny dipping in the duck pond -- gross. And Castiel was in the graveyard tryin' to make friends with a cat, at least until Chuck came by and started talking Christmas with him.
Lacey: Rehearsal for the play, at the Boards, was where things were going on, looks like. That includes the social opportunities, where Dinah had Robin the frog telling her not to be nervous, Karla congratulating her on her SAT scores, and Emma and Jack Priest making a deal involving a dinner date if glitter doesn't end up on Emma. The actual rehearsal went on, but on top of that Sophie talked to Derek about the progress on Geoffrey's apartment, Tony Foster was there as Stage Manager Extraordinaire, and then Sophie marched Geoffrey off to see his nice, newly-redone apartment.
Katchoo: Hey, Lacey, you should go to Caritas sometime soon. Robin --
Lacey: Eeeeeeeeeeee.
Katchoo: Oh, geez -- was in a nasty mood, but Jason might've cheered her up by teaching her some new slang. And getting a beer.
Lacey: Not like the egg nog at the clinic, where McCoy was drinking it and apparently enjoying it.
Katchoo: And on that slightly sickening note, I think we're done. Yeah?
Lacey: Yeah. That leaves me just enough time to fertilize all my neighbors' crops before bed, and if I time it right I can --
Katchoo: NOT RIGHT NOW.
Lacey: Oh, all right. Good night, everybody!
Katchoo: Well, that's a new one. Maybe I'll get a fake ID that says that.
Lacey: Really?
Katchoo: No, you ditz, unless I want to completely defeat the purpose of the damn thing.
