Fandom Radio - August 2

-would you stop trying to make me walk? You're squirrels, not sheepdogs, and come to think of it, I'm not a sheep-

Okay, this seems to be a radio station.

*chittering*

And squirrels are talking to me and shoving papers at me. And I'm talking to myself. I thought that was more Daria's thing.

*chittering*

Oh, if I understand the rodent correctly, they turned on the radio equipment and now I get to read notes. Excellent. This isn't ending up to be the weirdest day ever at all! So, hey there, listening audience, this is Jane Lane and I guess you're stuck with me today. This will hurt me way more than it will hurt you, unless I really really suck.

SCHOOL

So, let's start with the library, where our intrepid librarian was reading books on dreams. You check out what we read, squirrels? Until today I didn't believe you could read the titles. Of course, I didn't believe you could actually write notes without opposable thumbs, and check out how silly I look right about now.

And on to classes. Because it's enough having to sit through them, but at then we get to relive them possibly right before bedtime, too. Terrain and You talked about parkour as a way to explore an urban environment. Uh, isn't that that thing where you jump around and look like an idiot just for fun? Thought so. They got to check out the obstacle course they'd get to run, and now I'm wondering what kind of insurance deal this school has going on. And they got to do a real run across a simulation of the DC metro area. Don't try this at home, kids! Wait till you get to the subway.

Doomsday class had a whole thing about coping and recovering in the wake of apocalypse. I still think most people would be stuck on 'oh god oh god why' until someone slaps them, but that's me. And then we- yes, we, I'm actually in that one- talked about where our heads would be if disaster struck. Hopefully still attached to our necks. Ino and Chloe took some notes like good little suckups- I mean, TA's- and then after class Ino showed them to Reno. And then if you missed Private Investigations class today, chances are you don't know how to hotwire a car now. Better luck next semester!

The teacher was still gone from Adaptation, so Kyle took over to talk about combat and fighting. I can't snark on that. Try harder next time, you'll get some funny out of me. Then we have Home Ec, as taught by Aquaman. Today they discussed underwater basket-weaving. Sure. Then they did some underwater basket-weaving. Okay. I only have one question: why?


DORMS

Uh, yeah, I've got nothing for this. I think apparently we students didn't exist. Enjoy your existential crisis!


TOWN

At least this is going quick? Relatively? So Reno made a phone call and got a visit from Elena, but there's no more detail, so the listening audience will have to make something up because I'm just that lazy. The community garden had some flowers getting planted there, and see, things like that still sound too Stepford for me. Jack Burton was there to help with the planting. Thanks, Jack Burton, for your free labor. Ender had his laptop at Stark Industries, and got Ben in there to talk about flailing around the DC metro area in class. It's all fun and games till someone gets hit by a bus.

The squirrels have deemed Didi as being thoughtful at Turtle and Canary. Squirrels, what do you get from my expression?

*silence*

Wow, you are accurate. Raven came by and apologized for not healing Jono up all the way, and Jono was also the topic of conversation when Delirium stopped in. So, Jono, if your ears were ringing, this would be why. And then Robin was in there for a kite. I didn't know people flew those except on TV. That might mean I need to get out more, but eh. Light burns.

Claudia was reading comics at Book Haven, and Peter showing up meant they had to talk about his reading material choices. I'm going to take a flying leap and assume comics had something to do with it... Lacey was trying to open Luke's stealthily, but the squirrels saw, so you might want to work harder next week. John Price was sorting stamps at Wellspring Arms, so he had a thrilling day, and there was no Karla at the sex shop, so someone called Mini-Morton took over. I have no idea who or what that is but I wanna know where regular-sized Morton is.

Cally was also thoughtful over at MHA, and it's kind of nice to see that people actually are capable of thought here. No, people I haven't met, I don't come from another planet or anything, I just went to a normal high school, where original thoughts are rare and scary. Irulan had to deal with bags to be sold, which is a problem when you're a hat shop. Call them a new style of hat, see who bites.

Ashley texted at the gym, Dani was moving hay bales at the Gig, and let's talk for a brief second on how those two articles of information should not be spoken right after another, and just to make things weirder, we have Alex Russo reading up on flying carpets at the Magic Box, because why not. Ino took care of a sick Triela at the clinic, and Anders brought back some normalcy with a visit to the Perk, complete with a sugary drink and damn you, now I want one. And finally, Chuck was doing his best to annoy Tino at Caritas, also known as the place with the dead people. I hope you got somewhere with that, that guy creeped me out. More than the dead people.

That's all the paper I have to read from. Does this mean I can go now, and pretend I was never herded by squirrels?

*chittering*

...I'm taking that as a yes whether you like it or not. *click*
