Lacey: Evening, Fandom! Lacey Burrows here.

Katchoo: Because one of us has to be perky and it sure as hell ain't gonna be me.

Lacey: Well, that would be unreasonable, wouldn't it? Aw, did you miss us, Tuesday night?

Katchoo: Yeah, I'm sure it was just weeping bitter tears over missing us last week.

Lacey: Always have to be sarcastic, don't you?

Katchoo: I like to be consistent.



Classes

Lacey: Oh, gosh, you know, I can't believe it's finals week already.

Katchoo: . . . you're not even in school. Why do you care?

Lacey: Because I have to have some kind of commentary on it if we're going to report about it. Hello? Magical Ethics had a lecture and discussion on . . . magical ethics, who knew, and why they matter. Tony was present, if distracted, and so was Alysha. There were no black-and-white answers in Anakin's Ethics final, which consisted of several multiple choice scenarios: what to do when your mother's been kidnapped, the choice between ruining an outfit and saving someone from drowning, whether it's okay to torture a mad bomber, and the question of saving an older son or younger daughter. After class, Andy stopped to wish Anakin a happy birthday.

Katchoo: Suckup.

Lacey: There's really no such thing as just being pleasant for its own sake with you, is there?

Katchoo: You wouldn't believe me if I said there was. Monomyths got lecture-time pastries and coffee before giving their final presentations about Wendy the Werewolf Stalker and whether they think she's on the masculine or feminine journey, and like you do you had the TAs and Cindy around. Living With Difficult Women and shut it, Lacey got hijacked by Sophie since Max wasn't around. Bet that was a nice surprise for the students. Who got to write essays on what they learned in class, with Sophie around until Max showed up near the end of his own class and at least got dinner out of the whole deal. Wait. She covered your class, and she's buying you dinner? Shouldn't -- aw, I'm not asking. Concepts of Justice and the Law got to stress while Alex talked at 'em before they got to take their final about reasonable doubt and torts and punishment and a bunch of stuff that's way more legal-speak than I can handle. Alex, Kurt, and Karla were doing their thing, Karla thanked Alex for the class, all that jazz.

Lacey: Summer was shopping for custom surfboards in her office hours -- isn't the Internet great? And in the library, Anemone went on a pre-graduation cleaning spree that probably had Henry entertained. It involved sentient dust bunnies; what's not to find entertaining?

Dorms

Katchoo: Oh, that's right. It's 4/20. Momoko was studying, but nobody's surprised Chuck Bass was celebrating.

Lacey: Huh? It's a holiday?

Katchoo: Never mind. Today at Reserves it was cookie social time . . . okay, no, they were trying to figure out how to work with the other Reserves, like Zack and Kennedy discussed while those guys who run the thing were around to keep an eye on everybody. Up in the fifth floor common room Puck was tuning his guitar and ignoring the TV.

Lacey: But not the people who showed up, like Raven, who offered to heal Puck, which turned into an awkward situation when Puck thought that offer was . . . let's say a different kind of offer. Hayley caught up with Raven about last weekend and requested Elvis songs from Puck, who also tried to flirt with Blysse when she and Blind Seer showed up. Bruce, after being surprised that Puck plays the guitar, talked about finals with him; Roy and Puck talked about their job plans for the future, finals, and being in bands; Roy flirted with Blysse too, without any results to write home about, although they did have to introduce themselves to each other.

Town

Lacey: Jack Burton was . . . tanning indoors at Photo Hut. Leda came to tell him there's sunlight outside, but no word on if he went outside in it. Jill was studying at Fourth Dimension, Spock was distracted by finals at Stark Industries, Lion-O's coworkers at Cafe Fina were disappointed he didn't get caught in the chocolate rain, Mary was dealing with weird customers at the Arms, Raven had new videos to stock at Dite's Decadent Delights, Gibbs wasn't touching the paperwork at the trooper station, Oz was doing inventory at Coyote Medicine, Tim was doing some college cramming at Android's Dungeon, and Jono had nothing but happy music at Groovy Tunes. Angua stopped in at Book Haven in search of a Bible, Ino got the chance to tease Triela about Jak when Triela stopped in at Covent Garden Flowers and disrupted Ino's studying.

Marcus got a visit from Kyle while exploring one of the warehouses, and wow, these are getting hard to read; the squirrel was really drunk on the job, huh? But oh! Today was opening night of the play! Hope you got your tickets. Every play needs an audience. Backstage was for prep, panic, and wardrobe before the performance, Dinah, Kate, and Karla got performance notes afterward, and then the real social stuff started: getting congratulated by the audience outside the theater. Dinah got congratulations from Jaime and thanks from Peter Petrelli for sending him tickets, Jaime tried to figure out the reason behind Kate's dorky grin, which she seems to have directed at Bod. The drunken squirrel seems to think she should just kiss him. Mitchell had some comments to add about Kate's good mood too. Sam Winchester was happy to see his brother there, and got flowers from Peter. Jack Priest got congratulations from Mitchell, and Kate got a cigarette from Emma.

Katchoo: Wow, the squirrel who took those notes. Geez. Sookie's first day on the job at Luke's got her a flirty visit from Hannibal and from Bobby, who might have more reason to be flirty --

Lacey: Because he's her boyfriend. Aww. That's so cute.

Katchoo: Oh god, I'm gonna puke if your voice goes any more high-pitched. Cram it, Lacey, geez. Rose was pissy at Atlas Gym, which is not a surprise apparently, and took it out by talking *feedback* about Jessi during a spar with Ashley. Dimitri showed up and asked to see Rose's phone to make sure his phone number was in it. Because just asking is boring, I guess. Jono brought homemade cupcakes over to Didi at Turtle and Canary, which was running low on snacks today. Go fig. And at Caritas --

Lacey: ROBIN HAD MAPLE VODKA?!? And a conversation with Jake Doyle -- hi, Jake -- about hockey.

Katchoo: You payin' attention to the playoffs, Lacey?

Lacey: . . . yes? K-Mart came in for a belated birthday drink -- aw, happy birthday. There was maple vodka?!?

Katchoo: Was. Bet that's what the squirrel got into. And since there's no more drunken squirrel notes to read . . . see ya, Fandom.
