Fandom Radio, February 23
Evening, Fandom!
*canned chirping-crickets sound effect*
Oh, funny, guys. Really funny. Anyway, this is Lacey Burrows, coming to you all by myself tonight because my cohost is in Wales, and just about everybody else is in the Bahamas, so . . . is anyone even listening?
Don't answer that.
And the resounding lack of school news today means I get to spend, oh . . . the next three minutes telling you what happened in town, and then --
*chittering and squirrel snickers*
*THUNK*
-- spend the rest of my time reading about what everyone did in the lovely, sunny, tropical Bahamas. Oh, gosh. Thanks, guys. Really. Let's see. Adrian was absolutely thrilled -- is that sarcasm, squirrels? -- to get woken up by his new foster kitten, Kris opened the Gig, and Jono was at Groovy Tunes writing a letter instead of playing music. Tino refused to serve Remus, who ended up stuck behind the bar at Caritas. That is not getting lost even if Sirius asked him if that's what happened, which is probably how Sirius ended up getting bargained into doing housekeeping, huh? Remus being on that side of the bar had Oz asking why, too. Sometimes it's best not to ask things.
. . . things like "Why is everybody else in the Bahamas?"
*thunk*
Ow. Because the question we are asking is, "What is everybody in the Bahamas doing?"
Things at the resort, for starters. Hanging out in those luxury rooms . . . like Robin and Fraser and their snuggling and Fraser's manicured nails . . . or Mirax and Leda both deciding to sleep in. Probably because all that sun and sand and tropical weather is overrated.
*chittering*
I am not bitter. You take that back. Besides, how long does the novelty value of hanging out on the beach last? Besides for Ino, getting teased by Hannibal about turning into a tomato if she stays out there too long -- see, my point exactly -- and not allowing him to talk about graduation. And talking to Robin the frog about swimming and where she grew up. Or if you were Hinata, in a coat over her swimsuit, explaining to Ender why she has to remember her sunglasses on the beach . . . so it doesn't freak out the non-Fandomites. Or Tara getting complimented on her new blonde streaks by Kennedy, before they made plans to go on a dolphin swim tomorrow. Or Didi, watching the waves that Robin the frog needed a break from after a while. Or Dinah, who got a nice tan and talked to Leda about how the trip was going so far before sparring with Tahiri elsewhere on the beach. Or Mat, who agreed to let Karla sit with him since she promised not to propose, and bonded with Gunn over the, quote, "awesomeness" of swimsuits. Or Gunn and Effy, who're rooming together on the trip but keep managing never to be in the room at the same time, as they discussed. On the beach. As you do. Or Mat flirting with Rose, giving her a necklace, and telling her the story about how he funded an army once.
. . . I want to hear that story now. You know, I bet the ocean in the Bahamas isn't really that fascinating, otherwise Gunn wouldn't have told Rose it'd still be there if she stopped looking at it, right? Even if she asked him to watch it for her if she looked away. Because it's just an ocean. You know. In the Bahamas. What's so special about that?
At a resort. With a spa. And all kinds of things to do, like Gibbs and Alex Cabot renting a boat at the marina and possibly scheming to steal it and live in the Bahamas. Pfft. Why would anyone want to do that? Or have adventures on the resort like swimming with dolphins, which is a great way to meet people, if you ask Mulan and Angela Montenegro.
And it's not like the water park is all that special. Even if Puck was riding an innertube in it and telling Leda, who said she wasn't used to water, that rafting's even worse, or talking to Kate about how it's hard to have a bad time in the Bahamas, because even if you get a bad sunburn you can get hot people to rub aloe on it.
Oh yeah? Well, what if you're allergic to aloe? There, see? Ha. Just because the marine habitat looked like so much fun that Jonas and Tahiri went snorkeling with the fish because neither of them have seen anything quite like those fish before.
Yeah. I bet by nighttime everyone was running out of things to do. I'm sure they were all relaxing quietly in their rooms. Like Tara, who . . . got a visit from Hinata and Warren for help hiding Warren's wings so he doesn't have to smother in his coat all week and not enjoy the trip.
No, I'm sure there wasn't any appeal to the Aura Nightclub, either. Or the Atlantis Beach Bar. Never mind that Alex Karev and Griff had a long conversation about healing up from their last fight and why Griff doesn't trust Alex in there. Or Effy was in there trading toasts with Leda, and looking so comfy Puck had to comment on it. Even if Puck and Ellie agreed vacation looked good on them, and discussed the merits of attractive people helping you avoid sunburning, and Hurley celebrated his birthday by catching up with Hoshi and telling her she should at least be reading on the beach instead of her room -- duh, having Mulan say she owes him a present when they get back, getting a promise of cake from Sookie after the trip and promising to send a cake for her birthday since he'll be gone by then. It can't possibly have been that much fun. Rose didn't think Jack looked so great -- apparently, he was hiding in his room earlier even with Emma trying to convince him to go out -- but some squirrels shouldn't be allowed to drink and take notes at the same time because the rest of this one is a mess. Honestly, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Is there no decorum left in the rodent reporting world?
*thunk thunk THUNKTHUNKTHUNK*
That is not an answer to the question! Rose thanked Kennedy for the flowers and solicited suggestions on things to do at the resort, and talked to Elena about the eye candy, by which she means both the scenery and the people.
Oh, come on. It cannot be that much fun. Elena thanked Puck, or as she called him, "Hot Nips," for the flowers because this seems to be a theme right now and how come I never get flowers? He says hot girls always deserve flowers, so --
*EXPLOSION OF SQUIRREL SNICKERING*
Oh, ha ha ha. Zayne talked to Jaina about how adorable the sea animals there are; she doesn't think sharks are adorable, but he meant the dolphins. Aww. I love dolphins. They're so . . . completely the kind of thing I'm just fine with not getting to see. It's not like I'm sorry about not getting to go to the Temple of the Sun Casino, either. Even if Mat must have been having a good time, raking in the winnings and impressing Helen with them. And offering to teach her how to play dice. Because the dice seem to like him.
See? That's not all that exciting.
*skeptical chitters*
Anyway, that's all that didn't happen in Fandom today, and this is Lacey Burrows, who is enjoying the nice quiet island just fine, thank you very much, and signing off now to go . . . watch some more curling. In my quiet apartment. Alone. Because nobody else is ar-- *CLICK*
