Fandom Radio, Friday, July 23
Good evening, everyone. I hope you've all had a good Friday - or, at least, an interesting one with all the new...people in town. Judging from the size of the stack of notes in front of me, I'm going to assume I don't have to hope very hard.
School Notes
The Five Senses class talked about their sense of hearing today, especially the ability to block out things you don't want or need to hear, and practiced using that sense by trying to find someone calling for help among the crowd in a busy mall. It's easier to do if that someone is your child, believe me. Especially if your child can break eardrums with her scream, not that I know any children who can do that, of course.
The Pottery-Making class learned how to make coil pots with their clay, and the Dating, Hooking Up, and Sex class focused on the hooking up part of the class's description. First, the students watched a demonstration of Dean hitting on his car, and then they all practiced trying to hook up with one another. Apparently Dean wasn't the only one with a new friend today - Karla was very interested in talking to Luke's apparently attractive and shirtless shoes, and Chuck was trying to avoid his scarf. There really is no escape from these things, Chuck, especially if you're going to let your scarf and the Impala plot against you.
Oh, the things I never imagined I'd be saying out loud before I came here.
The Practical Marksmanship students worked on their skills with thrown objects today by having a pie fight. I'm having flashbacks to Homecoming as we speak. It sounds like it was fun, but Katniss made sure to let Ashley know that she didn't approve of the assignment, because it was a waste of food. For the record, we have plenty of food here, so no one ever needs to worry about too much being wasted. It's one of the benefits to being in Fandom.
The First Aid class learned the very useful skill of CPR today by hearing about defibrillators, bag valve masks, and oxygen masks, and then practicing on CPR dummies to try it out for themselves. Kurt looked a little different today due to his image inducer being a person, so Karla got to see him for real for the first time, and assured him that his blue fur looks fine. Which I'm sure it truly does.
The Cons and Confidence students learned about hustling, and practiced their newfound skills in a Danger Shop sim. I suppose I could discourage that, but I don't really feel like it. And Blackagar was reading up on baked goods in the library.
Both The Doctor and Professor Farnsworth had office hours today, and don't appear to have been visited by anyone suddenly new. I suppose it's good that some people got to have normal days today.
Cabin News
I want you all to know that it's extremely tempting to make a drinking game out of how many of you woke up to find people in your alcoves where things had been, but I am supposed to set a good example, and that means turning down free rum. Feel free to appreciate the things I do for you all. At the Toffee cabin, Raven wished Jono a happy birthday, met his newly-human guitar, and made plans for some healing for him. That sounds awfully nice of you both. Luke woke up to find that his sneakers were human. And shirtless, apparently. Katniss's bow tried to convince her to go hunting, and Chuck's scarf was annoyed with him because he hasn't been wearing her lately. There's a crude joke there just waiting to be made, but I possess tact and self-discretion, so I'm not going to say anything.
Alexander woke up this morning to find that his ring had turned into a person, and Kurt found that his watch had gone through the same transformation, which caused the two of them to be handcuffed to one another. As if this day wasn't awkward enough already, really? Bod found Kate having a moment with her necklace, which she explained as well as anyone can probably explain this day, and Alex spent the day in his alcove with alcohol, cigarettes, and his phone. You could have spent time together without the first two, for the record. Lindsay found out that her jacket had become a live person, and Wesley found that his favorite book had become a live person. When Rilla stopped by to see him, the book started flirting with her hat. These are some feisty belongings you all have.
In the Salle this morning, Alexander was practicing against an invisible opponent until Dinah came by and offered to be a real opponent for him. At the Chupa Cup campfire, Kurt and his image inducer made s'mores, because apparently the desire for s'mores while at the cabins affects objects that are temporarily human as well. Ariel stopped by to say hello, and the image inducer explained that Kurt was nervous because he wasn't disguised today. Really, there's no reason to be ashamed of how you look here, and it seems that Leda agreed since she liked how Kurt naturally looks, and Alex was willing to ignore any strange look in order to get s'mores for herself.
Kyle had a raccoon - which was apparently Marcus from the Imperial Junk Yard - and food at the Gobstopper cabin, and got a visit from Toothless and a Hiccup that'd been turned into a plastic action figure. Is that the island's karmic balance for everything becoming human? I suppose it very well might be.
Town News
The "things becoming real" wasn't just happening out at the dorms, it seems. Dean's Impala turned into a person out at the parking lot, Tim Desmond's sword demanded to be let out of the closet where it had been put away, and Gibbs found that his boat had turned into a woman who was apparently right up Biff's alley.
Arya did some inventory checking at Coyote Medicine, and Harper was re-painting an old bookshelf at Things Reborn. Alexander stopped by to visit with her, and introduced her to his ring before finding out more about the shop.
Vimes and his newly-human badge were at the Trooper Station when Angua came in to find her piece-of-meat stress toy had turned into, well, a handsome piece of meat that she and Vimes had to try to find a shirt for. This whole thing is sounding better with every note.
Ben, his lightsaber, and Anakin's flight simulator were out at the beach, John went to visit a hungover Jaina, and made sure to get some flirting in before she left town, and Warren and Karla went on a date to Taste of Thai without any additional people coming with them. Chuck and his scarf were working at Caritas, much to the delight of John, who didn't appear to have any extra people with him, and took great delight in siding with Chuck's scarf against Chuck. Deadpool had a very... flamboyant person with him, whio turned out to be his AK-47, and Shunsui was entertaining both his hat and his haori when Deadpool found him in the lounge, and the ladies tried to convince him to drink.
That looks like everything I have for you all, so I suppose it's time to sign off. Be safe, everyone, and remember to take care of your extra people tonight. Some of them might really need it.
