Fandom Radio: Friday, September 10
Good evening, assorted students, faculty, and townsfolk. My name is Peter Bishop, and you're about to be put in checkmate.
Okay, that sounded terrible. No more chess jokes, I promise.
School
We'll start today with a brief overview of the day's academic achievements. Demolition and Dynamite was all about gunpowder today. What's disturbing is that even the squirrels make special note that the instructor's notable assets, and I'm not talking about her expertise in demolitions. Those of us lucky enough to be in the course then made gunpowder, which we took to the danger shop to blow things up.
The danger shop also hosted The Science of Deduction, which was set up like a crime scene. Students had to wait, then pair up and investigate. Let's see what sort of buddy-cop shennanigans they got up to, shall we? William and Parker were most interested in the victim's fashion choices, while William and Diana discussed blowing things up. Wrong class, guys. Wesley wasn't as enthusiastic as Scully, which I don't blame him for. Ariel and Delirium also critiqued the victim's fashion, and now of course I'm going to think of them as the fashion victim and that's just horrible. Ariel also had theories about lovers running off to be pirates. I'm guessing that's based off personal experience. Gabrielle and Cally tried to unravel the mystery of the R-A-C-H-E, which don't ask me what that means because the squirrels didn't tell me, either. Ben and Claudia also noted that the victim's jacket was damp. Important clues, I'm sure. There were TAs present, where William was approached by Ariel. I'm surprised there's no notes about her trying to kiss him. And wow, William is certainly popular with the ladies, as Claudia joined him to talk about the teacher possibly being a spy. Just remember that gingers will suck out your soul, William. The teacher was around, spying or not we do not know. Steve Rogers took the chance to be a good neighbor and check in on the man.
Steve himself taught Battles That Changed History today, covering the battle that started the French and Indian War. Notes were taken, discussion was had, and the teacher made himself available for questions.
And I'm just going to grossly abbreviate this name, so Badass Class covered looking like a badass today. Pretty straightforward. There was a lecture, before the class picked clothes and defended their choices to the teacher, who made himself available after class. Like you do. Meanwhile, George was having troubles with misbehaving books. Remember, George. Spare the rod and spoil the children's book. And Summer the teacher turned into a bird in her office, and Ariel actually conducted a bird-napping. That'll end well. Everyone have your popcorn and cellphone cameras ready.
Dorms
And starting off our news of the dorms, Little Leda was in the bushes. That's just gross, squirrels. At least Ino coaxed her out with muffins. But did Ino discover that a Leda in the hand is worth two still in the bushes? Meanwhile, Wesley and Percy had a rematch at the salle. When I see the names 'Wesley and Percy', I have to wonder if they're doing old-fashioned fisticuffs or dueling with feather dusters.
And off on the deck, Jake was carving his wood. Dirty. Claudia tried to sneak up on him, which is always a smart idea when dealing with someone who is armed. Rosalind came by as well, proving that Jake's wood brings all the girls to the yard.
Rilla was knitting in the fifth floor common room, but the squirrels here say it's 'bad knitting'. Whether that means she's knitting hookerwear or just unskilled, I don't know. Lion-O showed up, which scared poor Rilla because she's not used to strange people. Really, squirrels? Strange people? You know, technically where he's from, he's normal and we're all strange. Probably. Food for thought. George joined the festivities and inquired about Rilla's knitting, while Roy Harper stopped by to get some OJ while saying hi to Rilla. A decent combination, I suppose.
Luke made a call via rainbow today. So what happens if you need to make a conference call, a double-rainbow? Nico tried to write a letter, but we have no info if he was successful or no. Next time, try for an 'I'. That's an easy letter to write, Nico. And in sad news, Alex Russo has fallen ill and is staying in bed. Here's hoping your roommate has a good bedside manner, Alex.
Town
Ah, Fandom Town, where else can fresh baked cookies lure people into applying for a job? That's exactly what happened with Quinn today when she stopped in at The Arms Hotel. Elsewhere in the hotel, Arya was stuck in her room. Anyone want to go try and un-stick her? Elsewhere, Harper was building a dresser that looks like a robot at Things Reborn. Because that's what I want, a dresser that looks like it's plotting world domination. Jenny's combo-du-jour at Pixie dust is paperwork and gin two great tastes that taste greater together. John and Jaina compared ships over at Atlas gym, which led to a discussion about cockpits and it's just as dirty as it sounds, according to the squirrels.
Ino was at the Perk today with a letter. Perhaps it was the letter 'B'. Anyway, she was joined by Reno, and she proceeded to be Not Pleased at him. You know, this makes me wonder. Has Reno ever shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die? Back to the subject at hand, Karla joined Ino as well, and they talked about... it doesn't say. I think the squirrel got distracted. Maybe there was a special on hazelnut coffee. Elphaba -- Really, that's someone's name? I am so sorry, Elphaba. If I ever get Moon Unit Zappa's phone number, I'll give it to you so you can commiserate together -- any way, she sat with Ino and they discussed phones and Fandom technology. How exciting.
Sergeant Angua rescued herself from being trapped under a paperwork avalanche at the police station, which doesn't speak well for the local fuzz's organization skills. Delerium rocked out to Metallica at Groovy Tunes, Aphrodite tried to sketch her kitten at her Decadent Delights store, and a Rhapsodos appeared on our fine island. I hope he's a Bohemian. Just so I can talk about Bohemian Rhapsodos all the time.
Over at Caritas, Jessica polished her nails, like any hard worker does. Jessica got a hard lesson in the peculiarities of the island thanks to Robin the frog, who I'm now just going to say drinks like a fish. If that's a lie, it's a funny one. He also sings Green Day, and it's really not easy, singing Green Day. Sookie dragged her boy-toy Bobby into the bar to meet Jessica, since I'm guessing Sookie knows her. You have a bartender friend and you've not introduced me, Sookie? Shame. Other than that, Sophie was also in the bar, standing someone up. Like you do.
And having completed the notes given to me by our rodent reporters have for me, I guess this means it's time for me to say goodnight, Fandom. This is Peter Bishop, please send all fan mail to my dorm room, anyone waiting by the station door will get an autograph, and please don't throw any undies at me, that's just gross.
Goodnight.
