WTFH Radio, Saturday, January 2
DRAKE: I'd like to begin tonight by thanking all my lovely volunteers for helping me out with radio tonight. Well, my lovely lady volunteers and Mini-Drake.
BOBBY: What, I'm not lovely? I'm hurt, dude.
DRAKE: Are you trying to get me beaten up by Zoe or something?
PAIGE: I didn't so much volunteer as, uh, get demon-napped.
MARY: I really don't know who you are or why you've brought me to this place.
MINA: Do not worry, Mary. If he has any ill intentions he'll not dare act on them around me.
KRIS: I'm still stuck on how I ended up here.
DRAKE: Mary! After all we've meant to each other? After all the trees and cows I've sent, and the presents I've placed under your tree? I mean nothing to you? And Paige, I figured you needed a trial by fire for Fandom. Say hi to your sisters in case they're listening to the podcast later. Mina, if I have ill intentions, trust me, you'll be the first to know. Kris, welcome to the world of shimmering. Fun, isn't it?
MARY: Oh, you're that Drake? The one from Facebook?
DRAKE: The one and only. I figured I'd need help with radio tonight since the squirrels have prepared an encyclopedia of notes. So I grabbed me some hot babes. And MiniDrake.
MARY: Are the rest of you on Facebook, too? Because I could use more Farmville neighbors.
PAIGE: Squirrels? And, uh, hi Piper and Phoebe if you're listening.
DRAKE: Wee Charmed Ones! Your little sister is totally older than you! Anyway, we've got a lot to do here, so let's get this party started. The squirrels have rum if you need it.
MARY: Ew, rum. No thanks.
KRIS: So we're not getting paid in cash for this?
DRAKE: Just follow my lead.
Dorms
DRAKE: Jak was training at the shooting range today, and was joined by Jack Burton but not Jack O'Neill. Triela wanted to shoot things despite not having the name Ja(c)k, and apparently she's looking different these days. Dinah had ice cream in her room and got a visit from Tony, who came bearing clothing. Karla demanded a pony, because apparently she didn't get one from Santakin after all. Jack Priest wasn't shooting things, so he stopped by to chat with Dinah about his new little sib, Roy, which somehow makes him and Dinah related? Don't ask me, I just report what the squirrels scribble. Chez Dinah was a happening spot today, because later Claire joined her for picnic gossip, and then Jaime dropped by to give her a poster of a babe in fishnets. And finally, Priestly stopped in for some alternate-reality future relative flailing. I hear that's happening a lot today. Paige, you're up, read this.
Town
PAIGE: Okay, in town, Jack O'Neill was drinking beer on his porch. I stopped by and ended up renting a room from him. Seriously? This is kinda creepy. Guess it doesn't bother Fred, who was in a good mood at Atlas Gym. Ellie was manning the desk over at the Arms Hotel but apparently spent more time gossiping with Mary about tabloids. Hope she doesn't lose her job over this.
MARY: I might have initiated the gossip. Don't worry, Ellie. Your job is safe.
PAIGE: Oh, that's you Mary. Good. Over at Caritas, Chuck was multitasking, though it doesn't say what those multiple tasks were. Aside from dishing about new kids with Jack O'Neill, assuring Henry he was legal to serve drinks and, in fact, owns the bar, which he proved by giving Leia free drinks. Oh, and Jack assured Henry that the drinking age wasn't enforced on the island. Um, isn't that a good way to breed a bunch of teenage alcoholics?
MARY: We need to start having AA meetings on the island.
*angrily chittering*
DRAKE: Just don't try to take the rum from the squirrels. They'll cut you. All right, easy stuff's over. On to the big event of the day, the brainbreaky welcome picnic!
Picnic
MARY: Today was the Welcome Picnic, where Puck stuck his nametag to his crotch... Oh dear. His big sibling Jaina warned him that Fandom is a lot less normal than Ohio. Believe it, kid. The Amazing Bobby Drake told Dan that he doesn't have to call him amazing. They also talked about what year it is.
BOBBY: Nobody *has* to call me amazing. I just ask that you acknowledge it, is all.
MARY: Roy learned from Jack Priest that yes, the school really does shock everyone. Karla gave Claudia a gift basket to help her adjust to the weird stuff. Aww, that was so nice of you, Karla! Marco thought he was too cool for his big sibling, Emma, who thought he was... Well, let's just say that they got along beautifully. Francine has heard about Warren, so they got right down to talking about wings. I think I may be missing something there. Maybe if the squirrels weren't drinking, they would take better notes...
BOBBY: Francine knows *what* about Warren? What?
*angrily chittering*
MARY: Ask the squirrels! That's what they wrote. Sorry, I'll go on.Makita got jumpy at Jono, who weirded her out with the way he talked. Jacob and Dinah talked about what year it is before going onto other Fandom weirdness. That's 2010 for all of you who are temporally displaced.Clark explained the sibling idea to Bod before moving onto zombies and religion. Please don't start worshipping the zombies, guys.
PAIGE: It wouldn't surprise me if there was a zombie worshipping religion out there somewhere.
DRAKE: Actually....
MARY: Ugh! Kennedy and Dru talked about things that go bump in the night after they got done being sarcastic. K-mart introduced herself to Leia, Kurt bounced at Kate and talked about how everything is normal at home, until he spilled the beans about teleporting. It's okay. You can be yourself here, Kurt. And the bouncing continued as Ino bounced her way over to Mulan and introduced her to electricity. Better than that, Mulan, we have running hot and cold water! Triela told Bruce that this place is just as crazy as he's heard. I'll second that. Nothing was really making sense for Proto, but luckily he had his big sibling Andy to help figure it out. Emmett told Elena that he doesn't think Fandom can be any more messed up than Hazelhurst, where he's from. I've never heard of Hazelhurst, but it must be like Las Vegas. And to round things out, we have Jean looking for her new sibling, Menolly. Hey, Amazing kid? Can you take over while I go looking for some water?
BOBBY: Sure, no problem... So Roy- Hi, Roy! And Puck talk about socks, and drugs, and hopefully about how doing them is a bad, bad idea. Claudia and Marco meet, and apparently confirm she's a girl. These notes don't say *which* one is the she so I'm gonna go with Claudia being the girl in question. Call it an educated guess. Leto's got two surprises for Gunn, the first being that he's not black, the second that he's from another planet. Hinata and Warren meanwhile had a completely hypothetical conversation about weirdness and, and stuff. Yep. Stuff.
BOBBY: Okay, and then Zack and- wait, seriously? Seriously? My big sibling and my little sibling are roommates? That's kind of hilarious. Anyway, Zack and Dan met and discussed relative friendliness of people from different places. Is there like, a friendliness scale? Maybe someone should give ths Bod guy the friendliness scale, since it's apparently his first experience with school, as he tells Jacob. Lucky. This place is pretty great, but regular public school? Laaame. You didn't miss anything, dude, trust me.
BOBBY: Dru and Hayley talked animal students and Elvis. I don't see how the two are related. I was a penguin once, but there was nothing Elvis-y related. Chuck's all flaily about having Leia for a roommate, since she's a girl and all. I was totally not like that at all when I first found out Kate was my roomie, trufax. Kurt meets up with Proto, for whom having only one roommate is apparently a novelty. ...Did I really just say "for whom"? Emmett and Bruce met up and talked weather- what are you guys, Canadian or something? Seriously, weather? And also waiting around for new roomies were Mulan and Beka.
KRIS: There were new teachers who arrived today as well. Ziva introduced herself to Cindy, who was trying to get information about Fandom out of her. It's a very weird town. That's pretty much the gist of it. She and Max apparently had a staring contest before flirting. Well, why not? Mitchell was there as well, possibly smoking. Henry introduced himself to Nathan Algren, the two of them then discussing what bought them to this weird town. Henry was also waiting for Summer. Fraser was there to keep an eye on the festivities. Anakin seemed very surprised to see Leia, and then later told Zoe he wants a raise. Wait a minute, is she some kind of problem student? I am so glad I am not a teacher. Anyway, Drake was giving the squirrels instructions. I guess they did what they were supposed to because they earned their rum.
DRAKE: Good job, my squirrelly minions. I'll see that you get a raise this year.
KRIS: Oh and Paige, it says you met your teaching buddy Max and that...oh. You were getting friendly apparently. Niiice! But then Drake broke your brain. That's not very nice at all.
PAIGE: Well, Kris, it couldn't be helped. And these notes are proving that I'm not alone.
DRAKE: You love it. And just wait, I haven't even started yet.
KRIS: Paige also chatted with Barney and admired his suit. Deadpool told Steve Rogers something about people from different versions of their world being in Fandom now. And now I think my head hurts. Even more than it already did. And finally, Jim Halpert's camerman surprised Paige, Ino told Max about her vacation, and Steve was there, as was Alex Cabot.
DRAKE: Newbie Gunn met his big sibling Claire and was promptly weirded out by her tendency to cut herself so she can show off her nifty healing. It's a hell of a way to introduce yourself, I've gotta say. Jacob mistook Layla for somebody named Bella, and Layla did the ladies of Fandom High a favor by convincing Jacob to take his shirt off. Puck had his nametag stuck below the belt, so is that his name or the name of his...OK, just not going there. Alex of the Karev flavor approved of the tag placement, and there is talk of scoring boo--books. Right. Books. Psst. Talk to the squirrels. Helen attempted to convince Puck to shuck his shirt and promised to nurse him back to health if he catches a cold. Leda's ears weirded out Puck, and Mat warned him the island is a crazy place full of hot girls. Sookie did some newbie watching and talked to MiniDrake about their breaks and presents. Kennedy apologized to Sookie for the possibility of beating up Jason in the near future. Violence is never the answer. Love is the answer, and if you're lucky, I'm going to serenade you all with England Dan and John Ford Coley.
Mary: Oooh, you sing, too?
DRAKE: *singing* Name your price, a ticket to paradise. I can't stay here any more. And I've looked high and low, I've been from shore, to shore, to shore. If there's a short cut I'd have found it, but there is no easy way around it. Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer. If you're lucky I'll do "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," too. I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen. Anyway! Emma assured Sookie the newbies were more scared of them than the other way around. Jack Teague informed Dinah no way was he going shirtless in this weather. Karla showed Dinah the welcome basket she made for her little sibling, which contains booze, an umbrella, and boxer shorts. Always good to have on hand. Newbie Roy met Dinah and suffered one of the many brain implosions of the day because he knows an older version of her back home. Priestly got a welcome back hug, and so did Tony. Triela showed off her makeover -- did she go on ANTM or something? And Jack Teague was there to meet new kids. Back to you, Paige.
PAIGE: Okay, so Karla was greeting everyone with kisses. Oh, wait, no. She was saying "Kiss, Kiss" but telling people it was not an invitation. Okay then. Roy asked if he could be an exception, because he's a teenage boy. Hayley told Karla she has a present for her but not with her. Karla magicked Hayley's present to her though. Interesting. Merlin told Karla that she was going to break hearts. Poor guy, that's an unfortunate name.
DRAKE: He's the Merlin, you know. Well, one of them. There's an Arthur here, too, but he's not Wyatt.
PAIGE: ... I don't even know what to say to that. So I'll just keep reading notes. Karla educated Bruce on the reality of magic in Fandom. Bruce, you clearly need to take my class. Oh, and Karla was impressed with Triela's new look. Leda and Karla shouted at each other, but not in a fighty kind of way. Roy must be new, because he was apparently checking out the ladies. And met Bobby. Who is very clearly not a lady.
Leda wanted to know if Roy's brain was broken yet. Tony made Roy flail because he asked questions about Dinah, who Roy apparently knows another version of. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with that. Bobby had a plate of food, which I'm hoping he set aside before tacklehugging Jean, who made him promise not to prank Kurt. I'd like to get Bobby to promise not to prank me now.
BOBBY: I dunno, what's in it for me?
PAIGE: I can get my sister to bake you muffins?
DRAKE: Just be careful of the brownies. I've...heard things.
BOBBY: Tempting, tempting... I feel this merits more discussion. Perhaps we can work something out.
PAIGE: Kate told Bobby that she was using chocolate to influence the new folks into thinking the third floor is the most awesome. Marco also had food, which is not a surprise because, hello, teenage boy. Joan was surprised to see him though. As was Parker who told him he couldn't have his half of the room back because she was using it for safecracking practice. Uh. I don't think I want to know. And Tony welcomed Marco back.
DRAKE: Arthur -- told you he was here, Paige, just don't talk to him about the legend or he'll get flaily -- was newbie watching and stealing food from Merlin. Ender, on the other hand, didn't have to steal food, since Karla brought him apple slices. Leto had his own food and a visit from Claire to talk about the NYC trip. Kate wasn't happy about Leto having a new roommate, and Triela and her new do tried to avoid Leto, but failed and showed off the new look. Newbie Warren poked around the food tables and chatted with Bod about how they came to Fandom. Bobby tackled Warren, which was an awkward way of finding out he wasn't the Warren he knew, oops. Yeah, I did that with Cole, too, but I got in a few gropes so it's all good. Jean has a less gropey encounter with Warren, but it wasn't less flirty.
MINA: My turn now? At least my co-presenters this time are infinitely less insufferables. Young Mr. Sam Winchester introduced himself to Warren, who is apparently from the future and everyone knows him. Seregil sympathizes with Warren's insufficient space upon his name tag, and this was cause for bonding. How... quaint. Young Miss Karla brings Warren apple slices and assures him he is not crazy. I find such an assumption to be premature upon first meeting. The most sinister mental peculiarities are oft well hidden. Oh, and the squirrels seem to think that young Kate commenting on the size of Warren's name is cause to make implications about the size of other things. How very droll. Warren, ever the popular young man, exchanged introductions with Leda as well.
BOBBY: *snorts* of course he did.
MINA: And apparently young Jacob was the victim of a clothes mugging, though this pleased Helen. Claudia is properly aghast at Jacob's lack of clothing, or possibly just at his seeming lack of intelligence at not wearing a coat in such weather. Ms. Yamanaka also sadly makes her appreciation of Jacob's exposed physique well known, and they discuss why she has a seemingly Japanese name but does not look Japanese. Did no one try to get the boy a blanket? Or anything?
PAIGE: Morgana asked Jacob if he was cold and apologized once she learned that someone stole his shirt. I'm sorry to hear that as well. Jacob told Hoshi that he didn't think it was fair that the girls weren't participating in the shirtlessness. I could say something about the intelligence of girls and how it's superior to the intelligence of boys but apparently there's a chance my nephews will hear this so I won't. Arthur warned Jacob not to believe everything he heard today and that the girls will lie to get his shirt off. Little late on that warning, don't you think? Karla told Jacob that most if what he heard is true and then they get into a discussion about witches. HEY. Not all witches have warts, thank you very much. Dinah told Jacob he could put a jacket on, but he probably didn't because teenage boys are stubbornly macho like that. Leda simply appreciated that Jacob was participating in the shirtless tradition. Puck, who was also stubbornly shirtless, asked Angela the brunette if she was new, which she's not.
MARY: Wow, when are these notes going to stop? Effy was lighting up at the bonfire, Didi-in-a-wig introduced herself to Bod and they talked about bets. Okay, underage smoking and drinking is one thing, but I draw the line at underage gambling. Parker told Bod that his parents must have hated him, with a name like that. He likes it anyway. Good for you, kid. Leda must have liked Bod's name because she told him it was even cooler than Puck's.
Jacob hugged Blysse because he thought she was someone named Bella. Obviously, Blysse was confused, but she at least introduced Jacob to Blind Seer, who is a wolf. New kids, take note of that. Jonas and Blysse talked about the recent trip to New York, where Blind Seer didn't like the city and Jonas didn't do so well with the wax museum. They did agree that they didn't like crowds. Claudia was amazed by the wolf, and Blysse explained to her that yes, Blind Seer is allowed in the dorms though they both sleep outside if it's warm enough. I'm content with just leaving the window open on a nice day. Blysse also told Merlin that she didn't get caught on the New York trip. Hopefully the people you don't want to catch you aren't listening to this broadcast. And Arthur told Blysse that there are too many lights in New York City. Sweetie, you haven't seen lights until you've been to Las Vegas.
KRIS: Alex was by the bonfire, smoking and I don't think that's healthy. Helen told Gunn about the shirtless guys tradition, who then asked if dying of hypothermia is tradition also. That's a very legit question, I think. Merlin was kind enough to offer Gunn his jacket. That was before breaking his brain by explaining he is the Camelot Merlin. Kate was there doing more PR for the third floor and asked if Layla was the one to get him shirtless. Guess its common for her or something. Tony told Gunn that wizards are real and showed off some magic as proof. And I am not even attempting this next name, so I am going with Jool. Anyway, Jool introduced herself to Gunn to prove that aliens are here. Of course they are. Gunn tried to convince Ino to go shirtless, too. Well, I guess it would only be fair? Leda told him the picnic needs music.
DRAKE: Dru was all anti-social and told Hoshi she'd rather be cold than crowded. She also told Ino she's not shy, just taking notes, and talked with her about the school. Jaina pointed out the shirtless guys as a perk to Dru and tells her not to kill the werewolves. Or the demons! C'mon, don't be racist. If you try to kill me I will fail you.
Layla read a book by the fire, and Leda complimented Worf on his looks. Jonas did the crowd-watching thing. Bod told Leia he'd heard the island has a sense of humor, and Leia wondered if it was just the older students hazing the newbies. Ino explains the shirtless tradition to Leia, which she wholeheartedly approved of. Andy introduced himself to Leia and told her about gremlins and time weirdness, a warning that would come in handy later. Spoiler! Kate continued her chocolatey ways and told Leia she should talk to Leto when she found out Leia wants to be a senator. Leda complimented Leia's hair, and then came the brain-breaky time weirdness when Jaina greeted Leia with "Mom?!" Man, I love this place.
PAIGE: Layla teased Hannibal about not being shirtless. Sounds to me like Hannibal is smart. Jaina found Ben and told him all about her teenage mom being a student here. Oh, wow, there's really a lot of that going around. Helen apologized to Mat for being awkward around him. Apparently there was some embarrassment the last time they met. Morgana asked Mat if he was cold without a coat and aww, she seems sweet. He told her that he wasn't wearing one because it didn't match his outfit. *sighs* At least he was smart enough to tell Ino that he wasn't going shirtless because it's winter. Mat did get a little TMI with Arthur though, telling him about... you know, I don't think I'm going to share that on the radio. Especially since he told Zayne he was only interested in meeting the ladies. Chuck of the Bass variety told Sam that he wasn't allowed to be friends with Dan. That seems a little harsh. Sam and Claire talked about New York, Peter and Claire's new little sib. Morgana met Puck and was dazzled by his shirtlessness. If previous notes are anything to go by, she probably also checked to see if he was cold. And Priestly is apparently one of the smarter boys here, since he refused to go shirtless when Helen asked him.
MINA: Kurt met young Mr. Drake here, where there was much confusion as they knew different versions of each other. This did not prove a problem for Jean and Kurt, as they knew each other already. Parker on the other hand, bonded with Kurt over the concept of pretzels and beer. How very Bavarian of you.
Young Mr. Humphrey met Mr. Bass, and they encountered the same issues as Misters Drake and Wagner. Andy introduced himself to Mr. Humphrey, before they discussed young Mr. Bass's... mancrush on Castiel. My good word, I do hope that is just gossip. Young Jean availed herself of Mr. Humphrey's acquaintance, and Mr. Humphrey proceeded to fail at proper courtship behavior. And then Kate warned Mr. Humphrey about the squirrels. If you are listening now, you are very aware of how observant they are.
Tony and Merlin did some catching up after the holidays, discussing how great a time Tony had. Kate made the acquaintance of another young male walking about with no shirt, this one called Puck. Puck, if you require treatment for frost bite, I advise going to the clinic immediately. Also catching up were Jool and Claire, and Kate made the acquaintance of Mulan who is to share the same dorm floor as her. Comraderie is starting early, it seems.
BOBBY: Merlin told Helen how he was all excited for newbie day, and she told him that she was going to be less- hermity? hermitlike? get out more.
MARY: More social, perhaps?
BOBBY: Sure, that. Maybe take a page from Bruce's book, since he was apparently a popular guy today. He met Seregil, who told him all about the multiple universes and other planets deal. This is gonna be a theme for the next few days, I suspect. He then dealt with that multiple-universes issue hands on when he met Hayley, who's from the same city but a few decades before Bruce's time. Jean introduced herself to Bruce, and checked up on how he was processing all this weird stuff, because she's awesome like that. Layla brought him a sandwich, for... reasons that aren't explained in these notes. Okay. And then it was back to the multiple-universes issue when he met Dinah and they played a round of New Gotham versus Regular Gotham.
Clark and Parker- try saying that five times really fast- had some bonding time over pretzels, and he invited her out to the bar. That sounds less exciting when it's cause he works there. Lois teased Clark with, with, um... Okay, then. Moving on... Bruce and Clark met up-
*sudden swell of dramatic-sounding background music*
BOBBY: Hey, you squirrel! Get away from the sound effects thingy. Seregil apparently also had a hermit problem, which is better than a hermit crab problem, or just a cr- never mind. He and Helen talked about their plans to get out and about more. And Jen and Ino talked about how their Christmas breaks went, and how Ino apparently had more fun than everyone else. I dunno about that. I didn't go to New York but I still had a pretty sweet time- at least for the second half of the break.
PAIGE: Jaina told Zayne about her mother being a student. He told her that he was glad to not be part of the Skywalker clan. Sounds to me like there might be more of them than Halliwells. Tahiri told Jaina how weirded out she was by Jaina's mom. Roy accused Jean of being a member of the Red-Head Troublemakers Club. Apparently he's also a charter member. I was a redhead for a while. Jaime showed up at the picnic in a kilt. At least he wore a shirt? I'm assuming. Ino got pictures. Emma told him he looked fabulous. Didi, who was wearing a wig, told him that he should have been a manly man in tights. But does he speak with an English accent? Oh, I guess not, since he told Roy that he's from a long line of Mexican Scots. Dinah told Jaime he was a goof for showing off his legs. I dunno. Sounds better than running around shirtless in January in Maryland. Triela's new look was different enough that Claire almost didn't recognize her. Apparently the new look was ordered by someone. According to what Triela told Ino Honey, I hope you're not changing for some boy. Lion-O gawked at Triela before discussing their mutual winter breaks. And Helen was sorry that Triela had to look different.
DRAKE: Damon was newbie-watching, which made Jacob cranky. Didi broke things up before it could turn into a fight. Elena didn't have a problem with Damon and told him about make-out parties. Helen tried to convince Bod to show off his bod, and Elena got to know him despite not caring for his name. Emma and Jack Priest compared siblings, while Alex Karev played hard to get with Elena. Mulan met a frog, but Aravis and Mirax were felt-free. Puck and his lack of shirt introduced himself to Elena, while Emma approved of Jacob's lack of same, but not his rage issues. And then Elena got to experience the warmer side of Jacob, which I suppose is better than the softer side of Sears.
MARY: Clark and Jacob were busy bonding over being from really boring towns. You'll love Fandom, then, because it never gets boring here. Jack Priest was bundled up against the cold and heard about Tony's relationship status update. Didi still had her wig and heard from Jen Walters about how she missed warm weather. Oh, gosh, tell me about it. It was in the lower 60's in Las Vegas. And Robin was surprised to see that Didi was blonde. It's a wig. You know, I've never tried wearing one myself. I wonder how I'd look as a blonde.
PAIGE: I went blonde for a while, you should try it!
MARY: Did you like it?
PAIGE: I certainly had more fun.
KRIS: Didn't you say you were a red head, too?
PAIGE: I get bored easily.
DRAKE: Not to be rude, but we're almost done here. News now, Miss Clairol later?
MARY: Lion-o took his shirt off and Leda ogled him. Kate and Jen decided that they should have brought cameras. Remember that for the next picnic, ladies! Ino, Hinata, Jack Burton, Griff, and Arthur were also milling around. And in a bit of a twist, Dinah and K-mart were discussing ways that that the newbies could break you right back!
DRAKE: Leia met Jacob and seemed to approve of his shirtlessness. Mat hit on Leia, and she didn't seem to be complaining. Hayley either offered Leia a hug or tried to cop a feel, the squirrels aren't sure which. Tahiri met Leia and tried to talk her way out of drawing the Skywalker family tree, and Robin the frog offered her a song.
Raven did the crowd-watching thing, too, and Kennedy and Elena complained about only boys going topless. Jaina was there, but we already knew that because she met her mom. Jack hit on Elena, but the squirrels didn't specify which one, so take your pick. Clark joined the shirtless tribe and was frog ogled. Froggled? Said frog played his banjo, and apparently this is important to note: MiniDrake was fully clothed.
MARY: Smart kid. It was cold out there!
BOBBY: Was it? Didn't seem all that bad to me...
DRAKE: Breaking news! This just in! Sookie and her cookies were bringing all the boys to the yard. Or the fourth floor common room at least. Kurt introduced himself and met Hurley, who declared Sookie awesome. Bobby, on the other hand, got called "adorably gullible" by Sookie, then enthusiastically greeted Kurt.
DRAKE: And that's it for the news from today. I'd like to thank my co-hosts, the oh-so-magical Paige, the lovely Kris, the non-sparkling in body, but sparkling in wit Mina, and the spathic Mary. Oh, and MiniDrake.
MARY: Spathic? What does that mean?
DRAKE: *coughs* That would be telling.
[ooc: if you find a typo or bad link, let me know, it's late and I can't see straight. Much love to the tireless radio squirrels and my forcibly shimmered minions,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angelandwitch, exconnextdoor, funnyways, longislandiceme, and montecito_east. Now I have to go catch up on pings.]
BOBBY: What, I'm not lovely? I'm hurt, dude.
DRAKE: Are you trying to get me beaten up by Zoe or something?
PAIGE: I didn't so much volunteer as, uh, get demon-napped.
MARY: I really don't know who you are or why you've brought me to this place.
MINA: Do not worry, Mary. If he has any ill intentions he'll not dare act on them around me.
KRIS: I'm still stuck on how I ended up here.
DRAKE: Mary! After all we've meant to each other? After all the trees and cows I've sent, and the presents I've placed under your tree? I mean nothing to you? And Paige, I figured you needed a trial by fire for Fandom. Say hi to your sisters in case they're listening to the podcast later. Mina, if I have ill intentions, trust me, you'll be the first to know. Kris, welcome to the world of shimmering. Fun, isn't it?
MARY: Oh, you're that Drake? The one from Facebook?
DRAKE: The one and only. I figured I'd need help with radio tonight since the squirrels have prepared an encyclopedia of notes. So I grabbed me some hot babes. And MiniDrake.
MARY: Are the rest of you on Facebook, too? Because I could use more Farmville neighbors.
PAIGE: Squirrels? And, uh, hi Piper and Phoebe if you're listening.
DRAKE: Wee Charmed Ones! Your little sister is totally older than you! Anyway, we've got a lot to do here, so let's get this party started. The squirrels have rum if you need it.
MARY: Ew, rum. No thanks.
KRIS: So we're not getting paid in cash for this?
DRAKE: Just follow my lead.
Dorms
DRAKE: Jak was training at the shooting range today, and was joined by Jack Burton but not Jack O'Neill. Triela wanted to shoot things despite not having the name Ja(c)k, and apparently she's looking different these days. Dinah had ice cream in her room and got a visit from Tony, who came bearing clothing. Karla demanded a pony, because apparently she didn't get one from Santakin after all. Jack Priest wasn't shooting things, so he stopped by to chat with Dinah about his new little sib, Roy, which somehow makes him and Dinah related? Don't ask me, I just report what the squirrels scribble. Chez Dinah was a happening spot today, because later Claire joined her for picnic gossip, and then Jaime dropped by to give her a poster of a babe in fishnets. And finally, Priestly stopped in for some alternate-reality future relative flailing. I hear that's happening a lot today. Paige, you're up, read this.
Town
PAIGE: Okay, in town, Jack O'Neill was drinking beer on his porch. I stopped by and ended up renting a room from him. Seriously? This is kinda creepy. Guess it doesn't bother Fred, who was in a good mood at Atlas Gym. Ellie was manning the desk over at the Arms Hotel but apparently spent more time gossiping with Mary about tabloids. Hope she doesn't lose her job over this.
MARY: I might have initiated the gossip. Don't worry, Ellie. Your job is safe.
PAIGE: Oh, that's you Mary. Good. Over at Caritas, Chuck was multitasking, though it doesn't say what those multiple tasks were. Aside from dishing about new kids with Jack O'Neill, assuring Henry he was legal to serve drinks and, in fact, owns the bar, which he proved by giving Leia free drinks. Oh, and Jack assured Henry that the drinking age wasn't enforced on the island. Um, isn't that a good way to breed a bunch of teenage alcoholics?
MARY: We need to start having AA meetings on the island.
*angrily chittering*
DRAKE: Just don't try to take the rum from the squirrels. They'll cut you. All right, easy stuff's over. On to the big event of the day, the brainbreaky welcome picnic!
Picnic
MARY: Today was the Welcome Picnic, where Puck stuck his nametag to his crotch... Oh dear. His big sibling Jaina warned him that Fandom is a lot less normal than Ohio. Believe it, kid. The Amazing Bobby Drake told Dan that he doesn't have to call him amazing. They also talked about what year it is.
BOBBY: Nobody *has* to call me amazing. I just ask that you acknowledge it, is all.
MARY: Roy learned from Jack Priest that yes, the school really does shock everyone. Karla gave Claudia a gift basket to help her adjust to the weird stuff. Aww, that was so nice of you, Karla! Marco thought he was too cool for his big sibling, Emma, who thought he was... Well, let's just say that they got along beautifully. Francine has heard about Warren, so they got right down to talking about wings. I think I may be missing something there. Maybe if the squirrels weren't drinking, they would take better notes...
BOBBY: Francine knows *what* about Warren? What?
*angrily chittering*
MARY: Ask the squirrels! That's what they wrote. Sorry, I'll go on.Makita got jumpy at Jono, who weirded her out with the way he talked. Jacob and Dinah talked about what year it is before going onto other Fandom weirdness. That's 2010 for all of you who are temporally displaced.Clark explained the sibling idea to Bod before moving onto zombies and religion. Please don't start worshipping the zombies, guys.
PAIGE: It wouldn't surprise me if there was a zombie worshipping religion out there somewhere.
DRAKE: Actually....
MARY: Ugh! Kennedy and Dru talked about things that go bump in the night after they got done being sarcastic. K-mart introduced herself to Leia, Kurt bounced at Kate and talked about how everything is normal at home, until he spilled the beans about teleporting. It's okay. You can be yourself here, Kurt. And the bouncing continued as Ino bounced her way over to Mulan and introduced her to electricity. Better than that, Mulan, we have running hot and cold water! Triela told Bruce that this place is just as crazy as he's heard. I'll second that. Nothing was really making sense for Proto, but luckily he had his big sibling Andy to help figure it out. Emmett told Elena that he doesn't think Fandom can be any more messed up than Hazelhurst, where he's from. I've never heard of Hazelhurst, but it must be like Las Vegas. And to round things out, we have Jean looking for her new sibling, Menolly. Hey, Amazing kid? Can you take over while I go looking for some water?
BOBBY: Sure, no problem... So Roy- Hi, Roy! And Puck talk about socks, and drugs, and hopefully about how doing them is a bad, bad idea. Claudia and Marco meet, and apparently confirm she's a girl. These notes don't say *which* one is the she so I'm gonna go with Claudia being the girl in question. Call it an educated guess. Leto's got two surprises for Gunn, the first being that he's not black, the second that he's from another planet. Hinata and Warren meanwhile had a completely hypothetical conversation about weirdness and, and stuff. Yep. Stuff.
BOBBY: Okay, and then Zack and- wait, seriously? Seriously? My big sibling and my little sibling are roommates? That's kind of hilarious. Anyway, Zack and Dan met and discussed relative friendliness of people from different places. Is there like, a friendliness scale? Maybe someone should give ths Bod guy the friendliness scale, since it's apparently his first experience with school, as he tells Jacob. Lucky. This place is pretty great, but regular public school? Laaame. You didn't miss anything, dude, trust me.
BOBBY: Dru and Hayley talked animal students and Elvis. I don't see how the two are related. I was a penguin once, but there was nothing Elvis-y related. Chuck's all flaily about having Leia for a roommate, since she's a girl and all. I was totally not like that at all when I first found out Kate was my roomie, trufax. Kurt meets up with Proto, for whom having only one roommate is apparently a novelty. ...Did I really just say "for whom"? Emmett and Bruce met up and talked weather- what are you guys, Canadian or something? Seriously, weather? And also waiting around for new roomies were Mulan and Beka.
KRIS: There were new teachers who arrived today as well. Ziva introduced herself to Cindy, who was trying to get information about Fandom out of her. It's a very weird town. That's pretty much the gist of it. She and Max apparently had a staring contest before flirting. Well, why not? Mitchell was there as well, possibly smoking. Henry introduced himself to Nathan Algren, the two of them then discussing what bought them to this weird town. Henry was also waiting for Summer. Fraser was there to keep an eye on the festivities. Anakin seemed very surprised to see Leia, and then later told Zoe he wants a raise. Wait a minute, is she some kind of problem student? I am so glad I am not a teacher. Anyway, Drake was giving the squirrels instructions. I guess they did what they were supposed to because they earned their rum.
DRAKE: Good job, my squirrelly minions. I'll see that you get a raise this year.
KRIS: Oh and Paige, it says you met your teaching buddy Max and that...oh. You were getting friendly apparently. Niiice! But then Drake broke your brain. That's not very nice at all.
PAIGE: Well, Kris, it couldn't be helped. And these notes are proving that I'm not alone.
DRAKE: You love it. And just wait, I haven't even started yet.
KRIS: Paige also chatted with Barney and admired his suit. Deadpool told Steve Rogers something about people from different versions of their world being in Fandom now. And now I think my head hurts. Even more than it already did. And finally, Jim Halpert's camerman surprised Paige, Ino told Max about her vacation, and Steve was there, as was Alex Cabot.
DRAKE: Newbie Gunn met his big sibling Claire and was promptly weirded out by her tendency to cut herself so she can show off her nifty healing. It's a hell of a way to introduce yourself, I've gotta say. Jacob mistook Layla for somebody named Bella, and Layla did the ladies of Fandom High a favor by convincing Jacob to take his shirt off. Puck had his nametag stuck below the belt, so is that his name or the name of his...OK, just not going there. Alex of the Karev flavor approved of the tag placement, and there is talk of scoring boo--books. Right. Books. Psst. Talk to the squirrels. Helen attempted to convince Puck to shuck his shirt and promised to nurse him back to health if he catches a cold. Leda's ears weirded out Puck, and Mat warned him the island is a crazy place full of hot girls. Sookie did some newbie watching and talked to MiniDrake about their breaks and presents. Kennedy apologized to Sookie for the possibility of beating up Jason in the near future. Violence is never the answer. Love is the answer, and if you're lucky, I'm going to serenade you all with England Dan and John Ford Coley.
Mary: Oooh, you sing, too?
DRAKE: *singing* Name your price, a ticket to paradise. I can't stay here any more. And I've looked high and low, I've been from shore, to shore, to shore. If there's a short cut I'd have found it, but there is no easy way around it. Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer. If you're lucky I'll do "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," too. I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen. Anyway! Emma assured Sookie the newbies were more scared of them than the other way around. Jack Teague informed Dinah no way was he going shirtless in this weather. Karla showed Dinah the welcome basket she made for her little sibling, which contains booze, an umbrella, and boxer shorts. Always good to have on hand. Newbie Roy met Dinah and suffered one of the many brain implosions of the day because he knows an older version of her back home. Priestly got a welcome back hug, and so did Tony. Triela showed off her makeover -- did she go on ANTM or something? And Jack Teague was there to meet new kids. Back to you, Paige.
PAIGE: Okay, so Karla was greeting everyone with kisses. Oh, wait, no. She was saying "Kiss, Kiss" but telling people it was not an invitation. Okay then. Roy asked if he could be an exception, because he's a teenage boy. Hayley told Karla she has a present for her but not with her. Karla magicked Hayley's present to her though. Interesting. Merlin told Karla that she was going to break hearts. Poor guy, that's an unfortunate name.
DRAKE: He's the Merlin, you know. Well, one of them. There's an Arthur here, too, but he's not Wyatt.
PAIGE: ... I don't even know what to say to that. So I'll just keep reading notes. Karla educated Bruce on the reality of magic in Fandom. Bruce, you clearly need to take my class. Oh, and Karla was impressed with Triela's new look. Leda and Karla shouted at each other, but not in a fighty kind of way. Roy must be new, because he was apparently checking out the ladies. And met Bobby. Who is very clearly not a lady.
Leda wanted to know if Roy's brain was broken yet. Tony made Roy flail because he asked questions about Dinah, who Roy apparently knows another version of. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with that. Bobby had a plate of food, which I'm hoping he set aside before tacklehugging Jean, who made him promise not to prank Kurt. I'd like to get Bobby to promise not to prank me now.
BOBBY: I dunno, what's in it for me?
PAIGE: I can get my sister to bake you muffins?
DRAKE: Just be careful of the brownies. I've...heard things.
BOBBY: Tempting, tempting... I feel this merits more discussion. Perhaps we can work something out.
PAIGE: Kate told Bobby that she was using chocolate to influence the new folks into thinking the third floor is the most awesome. Marco also had food, which is not a surprise because, hello, teenage boy. Joan was surprised to see him though. As was Parker who told him he couldn't have his half of the room back because she was using it for safecracking practice. Uh. I don't think I want to know. And Tony welcomed Marco back.
DRAKE: Arthur -- told you he was here, Paige, just don't talk to him about the legend or he'll get flaily -- was newbie watching and stealing food from Merlin. Ender, on the other hand, didn't have to steal food, since Karla brought him apple slices. Leto had his own food and a visit from Claire to talk about the NYC trip. Kate wasn't happy about Leto having a new roommate, and Triela and her new do tried to avoid Leto, but failed and showed off the new look. Newbie Warren poked around the food tables and chatted with Bod about how they came to Fandom. Bobby tackled Warren, which was an awkward way of finding out he wasn't the Warren he knew, oops. Yeah, I did that with Cole, too, but I got in a few gropes so it's all good. Jean has a less gropey encounter with Warren, but it wasn't less flirty.
MINA: My turn now? At least my co-presenters this time are infinitely less insufferables. Young Mr. Sam Winchester introduced himself to Warren, who is apparently from the future and everyone knows him. Seregil sympathizes with Warren's insufficient space upon his name tag, and this was cause for bonding. How... quaint. Young Miss Karla brings Warren apple slices and assures him he is not crazy. I find such an assumption to be premature upon first meeting. The most sinister mental peculiarities are oft well hidden. Oh, and the squirrels seem to think that young Kate commenting on the size of Warren's name is cause to make implications about the size of other things. How very droll. Warren, ever the popular young man, exchanged introductions with Leda as well.
BOBBY: *snorts* of course he did.
MINA: And apparently young Jacob was the victim of a clothes mugging, though this pleased Helen. Claudia is properly aghast at Jacob's lack of clothing, or possibly just at his seeming lack of intelligence at not wearing a coat in such weather. Ms. Yamanaka also sadly makes her appreciation of Jacob's exposed physique well known, and they discuss why she has a seemingly Japanese name but does not look Japanese. Did no one try to get the boy a blanket? Or anything?
PAIGE: Morgana asked Jacob if he was cold and apologized once she learned that someone stole his shirt. I'm sorry to hear that as well. Jacob told Hoshi that he didn't think it was fair that the girls weren't participating in the shirtlessness. I could say something about the intelligence of girls and how it's superior to the intelligence of boys but apparently there's a chance my nephews will hear this so I won't. Arthur warned Jacob not to believe everything he heard today and that the girls will lie to get his shirt off. Little late on that warning, don't you think? Karla told Jacob that most if what he heard is true and then they get into a discussion about witches. HEY. Not all witches have warts, thank you very much. Dinah told Jacob he could put a jacket on, but he probably didn't because teenage boys are stubbornly macho like that. Leda simply appreciated that Jacob was participating in the shirtless tradition. Puck, who was also stubbornly shirtless, asked Angela the brunette if she was new, which she's not.
MARY: Wow, when are these notes going to stop? Effy was lighting up at the bonfire, Didi-in-a-wig introduced herself to Bod and they talked about bets. Okay, underage smoking and drinking is one thing, but I draw the line at underage gambling. Parker told Bod that his parents must have hated him, with a name like that. He likes it anyway. Good for you, kid. Leda must have liked Bod's name because she told him it was even cooler than Puck's.
Jacob hugged Blysse because he thought she was someone named Bella. Obviously, Blysse was confused, but she at least introduced Jacob to Blind Seer, who is a wolf. New kids, take note of that. Jonas and Blysse talked about the recent trip to New York, where Blind Seer didn't like the city and Jonas didn't do so well with the wax museum. They did agree that they didn't like crowds. Claudia was amazed by the wolf, and Blysse explained to her that yes, Blind Seer is allowed in the dorms though they both sleep outside if it's warm enough. I'm content with just leaving the window open on a nice day. Blysse also told Merlin that she didn't get caught on the New York trip. Hopefully the people you don't want to catch you aren't listening to this broadcast. And Arthur told Blysse that there are too many lights in New York City. Sweetie, you haven't seen lights until you've been to Las Vegas.
KRIS: Alex was by the bonfire, smoking and I don't think that's healthy. Helen told Gunn about the shirtless guys tradition, who then asked if dying of hypothermia is tradition also. That's a very legit question, I think. Merlin was kind enough to offer Gunn his jacket. That was before breaking his brain by explaining he is the Camelot Merlin. Kate was there doing more PR for the third floor and asked if Layla was the one to get him shirtless. Guess its common for her or something. Tony told Gunn that wizards are real and showed off some magic as proof. And I am not even attempting this next name, so I am going with Jool. Anyway, Jool introduced herself to Gunn to prove that aliens are here. Of course they are. Gunn tried to convince Ino to go shirtless, too. Well, I guess it would only be fair? Leda told him the picnic needs music.
DRAKE: Dru was all anti-social and told Hoshi she'd rather be cold than crowded. She also told Ino she's not shy, just taking notes, and talked with her about the school. Jaina pointed out the shirtless guys as a perk to Dru and tells her not to kill the werewolves. Or the demons! C'mon, don't be racist. If you try to kill me I will fail you.
Layla read a book by the fire, and Leda complimented Worf on his looks. Jonas did the crowd-watching thing. Bod told Leia he'd heard the island has a sense of humor, and Leia wondered if it was just the older students hazing the newbies. Ino explains the shirtless tradition to Leia, which she wholeheartedly approved of. Andy introduced himself to Leia and told her about gremlins and time weirdness, a warning that would come in handy later. Spoiler! Kate continued her chocolatey ways and told Leia she should talk to Leto when she found out Leia wants to be a senator. Leda complimented Leia's hair, and then came the brain-breaky time weirdness when Jaina greeted Leia with "Mom?!" Man, I love this place.
PAIGE: Layla teased Hannibal about not being shirtless. Sounds to me like Hannibal is smart. Jaina found Ben and told him all about her teenage mom being a student here. Oh, wow, there's really a lot of that going around. Helen apologized to Mat for being awkward around him. Apparently there was some embarrassment the last time they met. Morgana asked Mat if he was cold without a coat and aww, she seems sweet. He told her that he wasn't wearing one because it didn't match his outfit. *sighs* At least he was smart enough to tell Ino that he wasn't going shirtless because it's winter. Mat did get a little TMI with Arthur though, telling him about... you know, I don't think I'm going to share that on the radio. Especially since he told Zayne he was only interested in meeting the ladies. Chuck of the Bass variety told Sam that he wasn't allowed to be friends with Dan. That seems a little harsh. Sam and Claire talked about New York, Peter and Claire's new little sib. Morgana met Puck and was dazzled by his shirtlessness. If previous notes are anything to go by, she probably also checked to see if he was cold. And Priestly is apparently one of the smarter boys here, since he refused to go shirtless when Helen asked him.
MINA: Kurt met young Mr. Drake here, where there was much confusion as they knew different versions of each other. This did not prove a problem for Jean and Kurt, as they knew each other already. Parker on the other hand, bonded with Kurt over the concept of pretzels and beer. How very Bavarian of you.
Young Mr. Humphrey met Mr. Bass, and they encountered the same issues as Misters Drake and Wagner. Andy introduced himself to Mr. Humphrey, before they discussed young Mr. Bass's... mancrush on Castiel. My good word, I do hope that is just gossip. Young Jean availed herself of Mr. Humphrey's acquaintance, and Mr. Humphrey proceeded to fail at proper courtship behavior. And then Kate warned Mr. Humphrey about the squirrels. If you are listening now, you are very aware of how observant they are.
Tony and Merlin did some catching up after the holidays, discussing how great a time Tony had. Kate made the acquaintance of another young male walking about with no shirt, this one called Puck. Puck, if you require treatment for frost bite, I advise going to the clinic immediately. Also catching up were Jool and Claire, and Kate made the acquaintance of Mulan who is to share the same dorm floor as her. Comraderie is starting early, it seems.
BOBBY: Merlin told Helen how he was all excited for newbie day, and she told him that she was going to be less- hermity? hermitlike? get out more.
MARY: More social, perhaps?
BOBBY: Sure, that. Maybe take a page from Bruce's book, since he was apparently a popular guy today. He met Seregil, who told him all about the multiple universes and other planets deal. This is gonna be a theme for the next few days, I suspect. He then dealt with that multiple-universes issue hands on when he met Hayley, who's from the same city but a few decades before Bruce's time. Jean introduced herself to Bruce, and checked up on how he was processing all this weird stuff, because she's awesome like that. Layla brought him a sandwich, for... reasons that aren't explained in these notes. Okay. And then it was back to the multiple-universes issue when he met Dinah and they played a round of New Gotham versus Regular Gotham.
Clark and Parker- try saying that five times really fast- had some bonding time over pretzels, and he invited her out to the bar. That sounds less exciting when it's cause he works there. Lois teased Clark with, with, um... Okay, then. Moving on... Bruce and Clark met up-
*sudden swell of dramatic-sounding background music*
BOBBY: Hey, you squirrel! Get away from the sound effects thingy. Seregil apparently also had a hermit problem, which is better than a hermit crab problem, or just a cr- never mind. He and Helen talked about their plans to get out and about more. And Jen and Ino talked about how their Christmas breaks went, and how Ino apparently had more fun than everyone else. I dunno about that. I didn't go to New York but I still had a pretty sweet time- at least for the second half of the break.
PAIGE: Jaina told Zayne about her mother being a student. He told her that he was glad to not be part of the Skywalker clan. Sounds to me like there might be more of them than Halliwells. Tahiri told Jaina how weirded out she was by Jaina's mom. Roy accused Jean of being a member of the Red-Head Troublemakers Club. Apparently he's also a charter member. I was a redhead for a while. Jaime showed up at the picnic in a kilt. At least he wore a shirt? I'm assuming. Ino got pictures. Emma told him he looked fabulous. Didi, who was wearing a wig, told him that he should have been a manly man in tights. But does he speak with an English accent? Oh, I guess not, since he told Roy that he's from a long line of Mexican Scots. Dinah told Jaime he was a goof for showing off his legs. I dunno. Sounds better than running around shirtless in January in Maryland. Triela's new look was different enough that Claire almost didn't recognize her. Apparently the new look was ordered by someone. According to what Triela told Ino Honey, I hope you're not changing for some boy. Lion-O gawked at Triela before discussing their mutual winter breaks. And Helen was sorry that Triela had to look different.
DRAKE: Damon was newbie-watching, which made Jacob cranky. Didi broke things up before it could turn into a fight. Elena didn't have a problem with Damon and told him about make-out parties. Helen tried to convince Bod to show off his bod, and Elena got to know him despite not caring for his name. Emma and Jack Priest compared siblings, while Alex Karev played hard to get with Elena. Mulan met a frog, but Aravis and Mirax were felt-free. Puck and his lack of shirt introduced himself to Elena, while Emma approved of Jacob's lack of same, but not his rage issues. And then Elena got to experience the warmer side of Jacob, which I suppose is better than the softer side of Sears.
MARY: Clark and Jacob were busy bonding over being from really boring towns. You'll love Fandom, then, because it never gets boring here. Jack Priest was bundled up against the cold and heard about Tony's relationship status update. Didi still had her wig and heard from Jen Walters about how she missed warm weather. Oh, gosh, tell me about it. It was in the lower 60's in Las Vegas. And Robin was surprised to see that Didi was blonde. It's a wig. You know, I've never tried wearing one myself. I wonder how I'd look as a blonde.
PAIGE: I went blonde for a while, you should try it!
MARY: Did you like it?
PAIGE: I certainly had more fun.
KRIS: Didn't you say you were a red head, too?
PAIGE: I get bored easily.
DRAKE: Not to be rude, but we're almost done here. News now, Miss Clairol later?
MARY: Lion-o took his shirt off and Leda ogled him. Kate and Jen decided that they should have brought cameras. Remember that for the next picnic, ladies! Ino, Hinata, Jack Burton, Griff, and Arthur were also milling around. And in a bit of a twist, Dinah and K-mart were discussing ways that that the newbies could break you right back!
DRAKE: Leia met Jacob and seemed to approve of his shirtlessness. Mat hit on Leia, and she didn't seem to be complaining. Hayley either offered Leia a hug or tried to cop a feel, the squirrels aren't sure which. Tahiri met Leia and tried to talk her way out of drawing the Skywalker family tree, and Robin the frog offered her a song.
Raven did the crowd-watching thing, too, and Kennedy and Elena complained about only boys going topless. Jaina was there, but we already knew that because she met her mom. Jack hit on Elena, but the squirrels didn't specify which one, so take your pick. Clark joined the shirtless tribe and was frog ogled. Froggled? Said frog played his banjo, and apparently this is important to note: MiniDrake was fully clothed.
MARY: Smart kid. It was cold out there!
BOBBY: Was it? Didn't seem all that bad to me...
DRAKE: Breaking news! This just in! Sookie and her cookies were bringing all the boys to the yard. Or the fourth floor common room at least. Kurt introduced himself and met Hurley, who declared Sookie awesome. Bobby, on the other hand, got called "adorably gullible" by Sookie, then enthusiastically greeted Kurt.
DRAKE: And that's it for the news from today. I'd like to thank my co-hosts, the oh-so-magical Paige, the lovely Kris, the non-sparkling in body, but sparkling in wit Mina, and the spathic Mary. Oh, and MiniDrake.
MARY: Spathic? What does that mean?
DRAKE: *coughs* That would be telling.
