*sounds of porgly excitement and also fireworks*

Not inside! Who even gave those to you? How did you set them off without thumbs? Why am I even trying to understand this?

At least you didn't set the notes on fire. Or anything else considering the fumes.

Up at the School, the Library was decorated for Halloween, confusing both Gray and everyone listening.

Meanwhile Shenanigans involved a greasy pole, and free Moobyland as s prize, truly a puzzle as to which was the worse option. Though for some bizarre reason one of the Steves was in the stands and very sad about missing out, the voluntolds prepared themselves, and not even the horrors were enough to stop the inevitable flirting. And then there was the Pole, were only a few, namely Jaina, Eleanor, non sad Steve, and Vi, made it across to claim their dubious prize, though Lydia did get a pair of water wings out of it. Not that I have any idea what they are, but I'm assuming they also lack basic dignity. Also, Belle did not hug Anakin.

Over in the Dorms, put that firework down, or rather just outside them Lydia's walk of shame crossed pasths with Charlie's walk of no shame. Good for them, I guess.

In Town, Pick Your Poison was decorated for Christmas, just to spread the confusion around. Rey offered to help Adrian undecorate, while Lydia wanted henbane for 'non poison reasons', and why do I have a random parchment that reads 'don't eat the nutbread, not even once' mixed in here? Prompto gave his child a camera at Furnado. Harley did her washing and Mark was there. Everything was butterfly themed at Caritas, including the singing. Rey appreciated the colours, Atton was there, Stewart did not bring suspicious brownies or dubious nutbread, but Stark did bring cupcakes.

No.

*thud*

*chittering*

No. Notes. Now.

Up at the School, Arden napped in the Library while Cal tried not to wake her. Which could have been cute or creepy.

Anakin inflicted rubber chicken tag upon Shenanagins, again. The minglers mingled, while amongst the voluntolds, Kitty felt personally attacked, even though she got picked to hit people with pool noodles, Vi explained her case of deja vu to Flint before flirting with Steph, giving me deja vu, Isabela explained how it was a sex thing to Sam, as you do, while Ignis and Flint considered their lost dignity. And then everyone ran around with rubber chickens on their feet trying to avoid getting smacked with pool noodles. As you do.

AS usual, nothing happened in the Dorms, while in Town, Adrian dealt with an aggressive phone caller at Pick Your Poison while Pamela suggested violence as the solution. Over at Caritas, there were all the limes. All of them, Stark was impressed by tiny pies, while Atton judged the limes, which I guess clears up the zombie clone question.

...you're not Leroy.

*chittering*

No, I don't want to know, and I'm certain we're all better off that way.

Let's see, it's a break week, so the only thing happening at the School was Arden being 'creepily cheerful' in the Library and getting waffles from Gray.

The Dorms were still quiet, while in Town, Furnado was very much not. Weird snacks took over the Movie Theatre, while it was Date Night at the boarding house. The Devil's Nest was full of mystery booze, while Caritas was full of denim. The answer to that mystery was, as always, Tino. Rey had many questions, Stark was fine, and Raiden was focused on breakfast.

And look what a pleasant experience this was without Leroy.

I'd ask why Leroy is pickling himself in a bucket of rum, but I don't actually care.

Up at the School, Introduction to Palaeontology went fossil hunting, 2 Baking 2 American went festive, and Bettering Your Community went littering. Arden was on her phone in the Library and got a visit from "pizza!".

The Dorms continued the trend of being quiet, while in Town, Summer was not a squirrel at Caritas. Ah. Rey came by to talk insurance fraud, Summer did more texting, and judging by the general incoherence of these notes, Stark was also there.

Looks like it was another quiet day.

*chittering*

I can find something to complain about if you keep going, Leroy.

Let's see...up at the School, Introduction to Palaeontology found their backbones, Bake-Off But American found out who could cut the custard, and Bettering Yourself took a nap. Things were well-behaved in the Library, except for all the makeouts.

The Dorms continued to be deserted, while in Town, Octavia tided up at the Devil's Nest, while at Caritas, both Summer and Stark somehow resisted the delights Tino had on offer. Somehow.

What are you...actually, no, I don't want to know what all the handkerchiefs and butter knives are for.

Up at the School, Introduction to Palaeontology had a fossil field trip, Not Bake-Off went Irish, and Building Better Communities went dog-walking, while the Library didn't go anywhere, but there was storytime.

Nothing happened in the Dorms, while in Town, thing were twitchy at the Devil's Nest, and green at Caritas, not that this was off-putting to Stark, Liliana, or Ignis.

Why are you here?

*chittering*

Yes, I figured that much, but why in my shower specifically.

*chittering*

Fair. She is scarier, and that's highly attractive. At least tell me the notes are waterproof.

*chittering*

Sometimes I don't even know why I try. Let's see. Looks like nothing much happened back on the Island, while over here on Break, the morning kicked off with various actives around the hotel, like Kitty getting breakfast, Summer enjoying the spa, and Vi and Steph doing beach. Further afield, Arden, Graham, Charlie, and Belle had adventures at the Eco-Park, while Eleanor and Surreal enjoyed nature at the Gardens.

*chittering*

Because I don't enjoy nature. Rey explored Holetown and I am not dignifying anything else written here, while Cutter and Connor tried one of the non-hotel restaurants.

Later in the evening, pretty much the only thng of note was Summer's room party, though Arden and Cal, and Liliana and Ignis both enjoyed private rendezvous elsewheres. Amongst the people showing up for Summer's Party were Stewart, Rey, Gladio and Nell, Stark, Ignis and Liliana putting in a appearance before their date, Steve, and Jon, and it can be assumed at all kinds of jello based debauchery took place.

I'm not going to ask what has been happening in here, because I don't want to know, I'm just going to be vary glad I can deliver this broadcast standing up and not touching anything.

*chittering*

I said I don't want to know.

Up at the School, Tony was absent from No Brit, No Bake probably because theme of the week was marzipan and jello molds. Bettering Your Community was cancelled, while in the Library, Arden had to deal with kissing books, Gray's fake ID problems and Cal being a eunuch.

The Dorms were still quiet, while in Town, Tony brought Steve a large sausage, which certainly beats the jello horrors. The Devil's Nest had dirty ice cubes and a shirtless Eric, but all the action was at Caritas, where Summer had a spray bottle and Navaan made an appearance. So even beyond the general flirting of everyone with everyone, just assume that everything I'm about say has the phrase 'and Navaan hit on them' repeated after it. So let's see, Stark was confident, Sabine commented on double entendres or the lack thereof, Percy wore a mask and needed a straw, Harley was...bouncy, Liliana was smug, and Arthur was confused about whether Navaan needed saving or not.

No, Leroy, we are not having a rum tasting. Or anything involving rum. Or squirrel, ideally.

Up at the School, Intro to Palaeontology explained that the Earth is 'old as balls', while the Not-British Bake-Off was all about cookies, except for where it was about bread, and Better Your Community had to clean up gremlin porridge.

The Dorms continued lack of activity makes the intern, while in Town, Lucifer showed off his renovations, while the cotton candy machine at Caritas was gone, possibly to Lucifer's basement. Summer assured Stark that she was Totally Fine about this.

Well, I guess it's time for another wonderful semester of reporting. I know it's the highlight of my week.

*chittering*

No.

Up at the School, it's introduction week, so Introduction to Palentology did introductions. The Great British Bakeoff, But American, and I am not saying that every week, chose cakes of varying quality over introductions, while it was back to introductions for Bettering Your Community and Yourself, and Liliana dropped by, I assume to explain that she wasn't in the class because she's already perfect.

Arden was cold in the Library-

*chittering*

Fine. The Librrr-ary, now you can all deal with that pun. Kamala and Gray both stopped in and agreed it was very cold indeed.

The Dorms were quiet, while over in Town, it was date night for Watts and Steven, while over at Caritas, Tino had already abandoned his resolutions. Shocking. Rey was having a quiet start to the year, Percy had ingot trouble, and Stark caught Summer up on his classes.
