WTFH

Good morning, everyone, this is Steve Rogers with the news of yesterday. Tony's doing some important work in the lab right now--

*sulky chittering*

--which, yes, is a squirrel-free zone. The notes are all about our last day in Barbados, so this shouldn't take too long. Prompto and family enjoyed a final breakfast, Summer and Stark--not my Stark--took a dip in the pool, and Eleanor and Rey were down on the beach. Ignis went shopping, and Stewart went to the spa.

And the rest of us successfully eluded the squirrels, so well done, everyone. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Good morning, it's Steve Rogers this morning because the dean is busy getting ready for the park shenanigans. Let's get to the news!

Although we're in Chicago right now, yesterday we woke up in West Virginia.

In classes, Gardening learned about getting rid of bugs on their plants, and Summer fed us snacks and educated us about multi level marketing parties, Practical Philosophy had a day off, Meditation mediated underwater, sort of, and Raiden's pizza class learned about West Virginia pies. I have thoughts, but I'm not gonna share them.

*chittering*

Of course because I'm from Brooklyn.

In town, I told Wanda about all of the things I learned about Tupperware parties, Liliana put up posters for a non-Tupperware related party on Friday night, and Tony is already looking for the perfect outfit, so I suppose that's warning to the rest of you to step it up. Kitty had to deal with a post-hike Tino at Caritas, Nell puttered with her plants, Liliana attempted to only eat cake for lunch at the diner--Ignis would not allow it--and Arden and Nell were at Gladio's gym yesterday. Dean and Jane make plans for the party after a brief detour to wonder why we moved to West Virginia and to ask why something called a Sheepsquatch would exist.

*chittering*

And that's everything. I leave you all wondering why a Sheepsquatch would exist. See you at the park!

Well. Tahani al-Jamil has left the island with a note that says "only losers are still doing radio two days before Chirstmas,honestly," so this is your loser, Steve Rogers, doing radio.

Classes are finally over, apologies to the Teamwork students whose final didn't exactly stick--so we mostly have notes about what the elves were doing in town yesterday. They were repairing broken pots at the flower shop, much to Astrid's bemusement, and Jon was at the Perk with some tea. He caught up with Dwight, who was happy to not have been shot in the last few days, and Alara got the recommendation to try a peppermint hot chocolate, which they don't have on the planet she's from. Irene was wearing--

*frantic chittering*

"A thing". Huh. That's not that descriptive, fellas. It certainly made an impression on Jon, even if the squirrels are being light on details for me, and he invited her over for an expat Christmas party. And finally over at Caritas, it was time for summer and her Jello shots, including--wow, is that you trying to write crime against humanity? You misspelled it four different wasys--something called a s'moyster. I think I'll pass. Goose told Summer about his adventures in the timeloop, Dwight told Summer than being stuck in an endless Friday made Wednesday feel even more special, and Stark got a blue drink and some sympathy for his bad Friday. Fridays? Rey thought she could get used to the little elves and Annie wanted to know if the elves could drink if they had ID that showed they were old enough. Stark wished Annie a belated happy birthday, and Steve McGarrett learned that Diego was no longer a cat, though he had spent each morning puking in Annie's shoes.

And now everyone knows that. Sorry, Diego. McGarrett and Dr. Will decided that they wouldn't try a s'moyster until they'd had a lot of tequila first. Summer got Will started on beer, and Annie checked in to see how Will's endless Friday had gone.

That's everything. Have a safe and relaxing holiday week, everyone.

Well, looking at this stack of notes, I can assume that Detective Williams didn't get across the causeway yet. Quite the eager beaver, isn't he?

*grumbling*

I don't see how that's a disparaging slur against you. You guys aren't terribly eager. Nosy, but not eager.

Let's start over at the Trooper Station, where Danny had Duke locked up for the night on obstruction charges. If you're going to arrest everyone in town for getting mouthy to a police officer, you're going to be...pretty busy. Sorry, Detective. Liam and Rosa weren't exactly thrilled about how the new guy had charged ahead without asking them about, well, anything. Octavia showed up with a sword but didn't use it.

*applause*

The squirrels are very proud of you. I will take this moment to remind everyone that threatening police officers is a terrible idea. Nina showed up and explained everyone knew what had happened because they all listened to radio and then pointed out the squirrel in the office with them wearing a hat.

*chittering*

Wearing a very fetching hat. That seems a little like editorializing, there, Leroy. Larceny--after Nina and Rey told her about the arrest where she was working at Luke's-- stopped into the station to offer bail in the form of a lot of pearls and to make sure that Duke wasn't going to be released into the Baltimore Aquarium.

*long pause*

I feel like I need a lot more context for that to make sense. Over in his cell, Duke got coffee before Danny let him out, Liam explained that the new guy is a little...confused...and Nina offered to break Duke out of jail.

No, Nina. They agreed that you could leap to a lot of wrong conclusions based on radio reports--Detective Williams, please don't arrest people based on radio reports--and then Octavia came down to fill out forms and take Duke home. Duke and Larceny finally figured out what had set Danny out on this--she'd said she couldn't leave Duke's boat and...yeah, I can see how that sounds terrible. No one is being kidnapped! I promise!


Anway, Summer was over at Caritas and Rosa decided she needed a drink after all the excitement. Seivarden reminded her that she was normally there on Tuesdays, not Wednesdays. There was excitement at the bar too--some kind of convention of chicken-sized guys who kept starting fights and getting removed from Caritas. Cait thought they were extremely entertaining. Seivarden wanted to know if she got a three whiskeys if she tried all three of the Jello shot specials.

In non-arrest related news, Shunsui discovered that all T&C had was hamburgers and Amaya was hard at work in the forge preparing weapons for the new arrivals. That's...probably not a terrible plan. Alluka was at Pixie Dust trying to decide on a fun workshop to try this summer--Tony and I are teaching crafts. It'll be fun!

And that's it for yesterday! See everyone at the welcome picnic!

Good morning everyone, it's Steve Rogers here with all of your news of yesterday. Classes are wrapping up, so that means final exams in many different guises. Rosa wrapped up her class with the helpful comic about how in a hundred years, this won't matter and that it barely matters now.

*long, judgy pause*

Huh. Anakin's sex ed class met at his house, which is still a giant unicorn themed bouncy castle. It's something else, you should go see it. Nina told him that it would last like that at least through Sunday, so make sure to get it done soon, everyone. Haberdashery class had to bring their own birds for the final. Juillene brought a lot of birds--

*chittering*

One word? An alot made up of birds, which Ulysses rightfully found to be absolutely terrifying. Octavia stopped by with congratulatory pastries for Duke's end of classes and they planned their next date.

In town, Octavia assured Shunsui at her weekly trip to T&C that yesterday was much better than last Wednesday, Summer was honoring National Jellybean Day--apparently something that exists--with correctly themed Jello shots at Caritas, and Amaya's forge was filled with jellybeans because of, I'm guessing, Jellybean Day. If you have any licorice ones, I can take them off your hands.

*chittering*

They are not garbage candy. I refuse to be judged by squirrels.

Speaking of unfairly judged food, Luke's Diner was having a special on turnips, which came as news to Duke when he stopped in to check on Larceny.

And that's it! Have a good day, everyone.

[OOC: OMFG so over quarantine schooling. SO OVER.]

Good morning, everyone. Steve Rogers here, and I hope you've picked out your finest pajamas for prom this weekend.

*pause*

Pajamas? Really?

*excited chittering*

Leroy wants you to know that his have those snaps over the butt so his tail can stick out. Thanks, Leroy. Bird Haberdashery was putting fascinators onto seagulls, Rosa's class hit the gym to not resemble marshmallow Peeps--I'm assuming figuratively and not literally, but around here, you can never be really sure--and Anakin gave his sex ed class a lesson on taking care of kids since he thinks this weekend is going to be the return of the...portal children. Swell.

Sidon was selling prom tickets--you can buy you pajamas at Pixie Dust--and--

*chittering*

And that's everything. Okay! See you at prom.

Good morning, everyone, it's Steve Rogers again to tell you about classes from yesterday.

*chittering*

And that Leroy caught a piece of wood the woodchucks were chuckin'. Good job, Leroy.

In classes, Bird Haberdashery had to put hats on cockapoos, which are...dogs. Nina stopped by and they talked about how all of the cuddly, cute things had stuck around longer than a week and how that meant they probably weren't evil. What a weird place we've chosen to live. And Duke took pictures of the not-birds in exchange for Octavia's pictures of furry fish and just how close were you to that phone?

*sheepish chittering*

Binoculars don't make it better. Sex Education was learning about dating apps--that sounds almost as terrifying as the Miracle of Life movie--and Nina was there to check up with the Dean, too. Rosa taught her class non-punchy ways of relieving stress.

*chittering*

I don't need to take that class, thanks, Leroy.

In town, Larceny wondered why the diner was called Luke's when Duke ran it. Octavia guessed that there had been a guy named Luke a long time ago

*affirmative chittering*

Leroy says that's right. Alluka was selling nothing but pajamas at Pixie Dust, Summer created dice out of jello at Caritas--I admire your devotion to the culinary arts--and Rey agreed to play the drinking game. Amaya was at the forge. Seivarden came over for a tea break and to learn about the latest upgrades to the Crumbler. Shunsui was trying to avoid a fight with the panda for cheese--a sentence I just read out loud--and Octavia also tried to explain how she didn't even want cheese when she came into T&C.

And that's everything! Continue staying cozy, Fandom. Is it weird to be getting kind of tired of cocoa?

Good morning everyone, it's Steve Rogers here again to tell you about classes and other events from yesterday.

Bird Haberdashery made bucket hats for potoos--I had no idea that was even a bird--Rosa's class perfected their ability to complain while still being cool, and Anakin made his class take a STD test.

*long pause*

Uh huh. In town, Amaya was taking care of all of her tools at the forge, Alluka had far too many raincoats at Pixie Dust--if it starts raining pudding to compensate, don't blame her--and Octavia and Shunsui reconvened for their weekly sake at T&C and compared vacations. Yasha discovered the Skywalker Special at Chilly Boulder and it took long enough to eat that she met both Cait and Magnus. Nina was trying to defeat a bad mood using coffee, and complained to Liam about missing vacation and told Sabine she'd been working on a peace process at home instead. Finally, Summer started the St. Patrick's Day specials early at Caritas. Seivarden attempted--poorly--to bribe Summer into not giving Amaya any shots, Amaya came by for their weekly drinking contest anyway, Rey got a quick lesson in the tradition of being pinched on St. Patrick's Day, and Lucifer was there to wash jello shots down with scotch.

*slightly judgey pause*

And Amaya and Shunsui both thanked Summer for the special including free drinks for former owners of T&C.

And that's it! Enjoy the spring weather, everyone.

[OOC: Apologies. For SOME REASON, my attention span is completely shot today.]

Good morning, everyone, on this very blustery day.

*chittering*

Well, I'm sure the woodchucks weren't trying to hit you with the wood, Leroy. The wind probably took it.

*squirrelly muttering*

Leroy, don't start something. In classes yesterday, Rosa took hers to get properly attired for riding motocycles, so look for people wearing new leather jackets and be sure to compliment them. Bird Hats made Viking helmets for albatrosses, and Sex Education got extremely educated about the menstrual cycle. And I'm assuming everyone else is learning math and English in their spare time.

In town, Amaya is very much not getting sick at the Forge. That seems specific. Rey got to overhear a barista's awkward phone call and was grateful for the distraction of Liam's arrival, but then she learned it was not a great day for him, so--

*awkward silence*

I'm not sure the rest of us really needed to know that, guys. Shunsui and Octavia had their normal Wednesday sake toast at T&C because they'll both be in on the Spring Break trip next week, where, I assume, they will be having a sake toast on the beach instead. And finally at Caritas, Seivarden was disappointed to learn there wasn't a Jello shot tasting last night and Rey got educated about Pop Rocks. I'll find you later and ask because I have no idea what those are.

And that's it from me. Make sure to pack your sunscreen and I'll see you on the beach next week.

Good morning, everyone, on the Thursday of a very distracting week. In classes, Bird Haberdashery had to make baseball caps for mating owls--sounds educational--and Rosa's class was encouraged to go out and have lots of sex.

*turns out Captain America's disapproval can be kinda audible too*

Make safe, healthy choices, everyone. Speaking of which, Anakin gave everyone in Sex Education a robotic baby to take care of for the week.

In town, Alluka was wondering if she should have a sale at Pixie Dust, Octavia stopped into T&C for sake and flirting with Shunsui, and Summer had Sex on the Beach shots on special at Caritas. Subtle, Summer. She got to meet an animatronic cat with a thick Scottish accent named Cait. Summer traumatized Rey by giving her a list of other, worse drinks that could be on special, and then got thoroughly confused by Cait. Seivarden was subjected to a terrible Sex on the Beach joke because it's Summer, and then she got to meet Cait, too. Cait's a little hard to understand, apparently.

Beau was making a compelling argument about why Karolina shouldn't go to work, and Octavia and Duke were out on an extended walk in the woods.

*chittering*

Leroy is apparently worried about chafing and poison ivy. So thank you for that image, Leroy. Lucifer was getting a little maudlin at Devil's Nest and explained some of why to Seivarden, and Astrid was shopping with Nina at Clothes over Bros for a party Nina's throwing tonight. Nina got some advice herself from Brooke about dresses, and then Brooke and Mike flirted like crazy because this is the week for that.

*extended chittering*

People in no way want to hear about that, Leroy. And that's it for me today. Enjoy Valentine's Day in a safe, consensually way, everyone.

Good morning, everyone, it's Steve Rogers again to give you recaps of the weird Wednesday classes.

*nervous chittering*

I'm not sure you get danger pay for reporting on the bird hat class, Leroy, even if the birds were--

*chittering*

They can't have been that tall. Let me see the notes. They were putting floppy hats on "terror birds," which were actually dinosaurs. Okay, you can have some more rum. Rosa's class talked about what they'd learned over the week before going on a hike. Hopefully not near the terror birds. Sex Education got to learn all about sexually transmitted diseases and infections. I got that during World War II. It was...well, let's just say it's nothing you should ever make a gruff colonel talk about.

In town, Amaya was working on a long-handled axe...mace...thing, and Shunsui told Octavia a bit about his home dimension to distract her from her pounding hangover. Speaking of hangovers, Duke had one of his own--betting they're related--and was fighting it off with coffee at the Perk. He got Seivarden to tell him about the importance of proper tea preparation and Lucifer to explain how he managed to finagle two enormous milkshakes out of a coffee shop barista.

*chittering*

I didn't need to know that. Or, frankly, see the gestures that went with it. Finally, over at Caritas, Summer was running a special on Long Island Iced Tea shots, made with actual tea, for once. Seivarden had promised to try one, but she's probably regretting that a bit. Sorry, Summer, but those drinks are awful. Amaya was there too, arguing that a Jello shot isn't really a drink because you chew it, and then she and Seivarden tried the shots and I'm sorry. Rey did not drink a Long Island Iced Tea, but I might need one after reading the notes where she and Summer commiserated about meeting alternative universe versions of themselves. I had one show up here with a beard who then threw me in a pit and stole my boyfriend, so...

*chittering*

It was a long time ago. It's fine. On that note, though, it's time for me to go. Be safe, Fandom.

Good morning, everyone. It's Steve Rogers here to tell you about all of the classes you took yesterday. Rosa's class discussed casual violence, Sex Ed was informed in great detail about the reproductive anatomy of both human beings and...what Sidon is...and Bird Hats made cowboy hats for kookaburras.

As you do.

In the dorms, Shuri and Janet were recovering from their weird classes by watching a Hallmark movie and cheering for the exes that the leads were about to dump. That's an approach.

In town, Shunsui threated Apu with vacation until he agreed to unload the new shipment--sure--and Summer was at Caritas with cinnamon red hot and chocolate-covered cherry Jello shots on special. Those don't seem like they go together, something Rey also wondered about, before she and Summer commiserated about their busy lives. Amaya was putting her contacts into her new phone--what happened to her old one?

*chittering*

Tony turned it into a grenade. Of course he did.

And on that note, I'm off for my morning run. Stay safe, Fandom!

Hello everyone, Steve Rogers here back from an amazing vacation in Japan. We should go there for a trip some time. It's incredibly beautiful.

*chittering*

Was I supposed to bring you back souvenirs?

*chittering*

I'll bring them over next week, okay? Let's get to the notes. In the library, Lana was extremely grateful to Sabine's texted offer of a coffee run...just how close were you guys?

*silence*

That's what I thought. Don't be creepy.

And Rey was running late for work because we're in that weird part of the year where every day feels like a Tuesday and all we do is eat cheese.

*chittering*

I'm summarizing. And...that's everything! I'll talk to you all next year.

*groaning*

No, that joke never gets old.

Hello and welcome to another Monday. It's Steve Rogers and the Santa hats are stuck on your heads. Sorry.

*chittering*

No, yours looks good, Leroy.

*awkward pause*

Can you stop petting my sweater, please? It's uncomfortable for everyone.

*squirrelly grumbling*

Moving on. In the library, Lana and Sabine were being confused by the lyrics to "Dashing Through the Snow" and wondering why we didn't just stay in transportation without horses. It was written for a time before cars, if that helps?

*chittering*

I do not vividly remember that, Leroy. Hush. In town, Owen was "definitely not sleeping on the job" at the book shop. That seems like a strangely specific thing to write down. Rey was heading home and leaving messages during her shift at Stark's, and the singing snowmen were the perfect amount of entertainment for Lexi in the park. Sorry about how cold that got, Kitty.

And that's everything from yesterday. Leroy, if you touch the sweater one more time, I'm going to dock your pay--

Welcome to the first day of a short week of classes! This is Steve Rogers, here to tell you all about what you got up to yesterday.

In the dorms, Sidon was hosting a sushi party, undeterred by the fact, as he told Sabine, that he had never actually made sushi before. Nina--

*exhuberant chittering*

Fine, you say it much better. Nina!! Like that?

*chittering* Nina thought Sabine is taking the easy way out by naming a roll after herself. Nina and Sidon agree that fish that sushi-ed itself might be strange, even for here.

Over in town, Atton has returned from an extended stay other places and Rey spent her shift at Stark's moving things around with her mind.

*long pause*

Sure, that makes sense. I'm going to go home now. Have a safe vacation, if you're heading anywhere later this week!

Hello and welcome to another Monday radio. Since we're commemorating Veterans Day today here in America, let me take a moment to thank all of my fellow veterans and everyone else who has put service to a cause bigger than themselves above their own interests. Drinks are on me tonight, okay?

*chittering*

No, not for squirrels. Sorry, guys.

Anyway. Onto the notes. In the library, Lana was attempting to alphabetize Japanese children's books, and in town, Liam and Beau went bowling because they'd discovered that neither of them had done it before. I'm genuinely sorry to have missed watching that. Shunsui was in the onsen again today where he met up with Octavia for some flirting. And speaking of flirting, Nina was definitely not flailing at the Perk about her upcoming date with Owen.

*chittering*

Leroy says he liked that second dress a lot. I'm not sure that helps you, Nina. She also got to meet Duke face to face for the first time and he told her that he wasn't thrilled about her broadcasts and then got his brain a little more broken by her explaining high school reunions, Fandom style. Sorry about that, Duke.

And that's all I have for today! Stay safe this week, Fandom.

Right, so it's pitch black in the radio booth this morning and I'm pretty sure that Leroy is sitting on my head because--why are you doing that again?

*chittering*

Ah, the creepy noise from the corner. Great. So let me just get through these notes before--

*sound of clanging, then something shattering*

HEY. DON'T THROW THE SHIELD.

Before more of that. Lana was up at the library yesterday just in case the visiting alumni had a need to check out a book, and that was either everything that happened in the school and the dorms or I can't find the other notes because it's so dark.

In town, the school hosted the traditional Sunday brunch which was made much cuter because the porgs were all in costume yesterday. Octavia and Rey bonded over how cute the porgs were, and Luke was back from...wherever it is Luke lives when he's not here and managed to make things so much worse with Rey while trying to apologize for that weekend they thought they were in a Lifetime movie. How'd he make it worse?

*extensive chittering*

I didn't know "negative game" was a phrase, but there you go, everyone. Leroy has spoken. Stark--not my Stark--was back after spending many, many years in a box? Really?

*chittering*

You'd be the experts. Rey checked in on him since he seemed a little dusty and confused. Hasn't that described all of us at some point, really? Liam introduced himself as well as Stark was in a losing battle with the porgs over who owned the bacon on Stark's plate. If you think it's Stark, you'd be wrong. Stark explained that he'd been a student here a long, long time ago and was excited to discover that the bakery was still here. After the brunch, Rey went to her shift at my Stark's shop and found a gremlin in a football costume.

*chittering*

I'm not asking, either. And there was a porg costume parade on the deck of Duke's boat.

*squirrelly "awwwwwwwwwwww"s*

Yeah, that's a good image to sign out on. This has been Steve Rogers and, um, watch out for sharp corners today? And avoid whatever's lurking in them?

*more clanging*

AND STOP USING MY SHIELD.

Good morning from sunny Quito! It's Steve Rogers and the away team here in my bedroom so you have to hold it down a bit so we don't wake up Tony, okay, guys?

*chittering*

I'm glad you've found some local stringers to help you, Leroy, but I wasn't entirely expecting this many guinea pigs.

*extensive chittering*

It's very nice to meet you, too. Let's start with the news from the island first, okay? Atton was offering discounts on tropical drinks at Caritas, Rey was happy to be normally-shaped-for Rey again over at Stark Industries, and Lana was an industrious student who did her shift at the library.

People--not Jack and Kaidan, they were going to Canada--mingled around by Portalocity waiting for our trip to start, and then we arrived in Quito with no hiccups unless you count Anakin being shot out of a cannon on our layover a hiccup and not just amazing to witness. We're all settled in for now at the Dann Carlton, and Nina had a tiny freakout about her room only coming with one bed before she realized her roommate was Sidon and not someone she didn't know. Magnus was a little disappointed this trip didn't come with bunk beds--maybe on the ship?--and Prompto and Elisabeth tried to get to know each other a little better since they'd be sharing a room this week. Tony and I--

*chittering*

We were not ridiculously sappy. We had a very normal conversation about why a corgi puppy would make a terrible intelligence asset. Over at the Europa Cafe, Shuri and Wayne practiced their Spanish and made a date to try out all kinds of Ecuadorian coffee tomorrow.

And now Tony knows that's a thing, so I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow too. Keyleth had left her normal antler-hat-thing off before going to the Luxemburgo Cafe, and Trevor told her she looked weird, which was kind of rude. You can't see it, Trevor, but I'm giving you my disappointed face.

*sounds of guilty chittering*

It's not aimed at you guys, gosh. Anakin was sulking in the jacuzzi after trying to get all of the feathers--hee--out of his hair. Lucifer informed him that the sulking was ruining the entire vibe of the place, Kennedy was glad that the tradition of either fall break or Anakin sulking continued, and Kitty at least brought tequila to ease the humiliation. Delirium was still--

*chittering*

"feeling fishies." Sure. She splashed Lucifier while he was lounging by the pool, anyway, which didn't please him at all.

And that's all we have for yesterday! See you on the bus tour, everyone here! Be safe, everyone back in Fandom!

Good morning, everyone! It's Steve Rogers here again hoping that your weekend was fun and stress-free and that everyone's visitors had a good time.

*chittering*

Thank you, I did have a lovely visit with our friend Jan. Did you have any visitors?

*extensive chittering*

Oh. Ohhhhh. Ohh, I didn't know about Leroy's sister's ex-boyfriend. They have charts, everyone, so...maybe don't ask the squirrels about their weekends.

In school, the books were on their best behavior at the library. Lana assumed it was becaues of Parents Weekend.

In town, Lucifer's visitors finally tracked him down at his home, Atton's guests were learning about Irish Bomb Shot--the drink, not the explosive--and there was, naturally, a giant brunch in the park for mingling and avoiding of visitors. Vette is no longer a blue bird--congratulations, Vette--and was at the picnic mostly for the pancakes because she didn't have visitors. Mae, Vette, and Mae's visitor Gregg made plans to set up multiple zip lines, so someone should probably check on that, Nina told Vette about all the cute guys that were here this weekend and flailed a bit about how Dean Skywalker had pretended to be her parent for the weekend. That's pretty nice, actually. Is that something we're supposed to do? Lana warned Vette to steer clear of her guests, Duke met Hernando's guest Dani, Tisarwat was a little disappointed to discover her visitor was still here and then they talked about what Zeiat had learned from her teachers, Octavia and Beau exchanged tips on the best food to stock up on from the buffet, and the squirrels wanted it noted that the rowdy, loud table were Prompto's friends.

Wayne was having a not-great weekend, which his sister Katy explained to Vette when Wayne was being his normal laconic self to Vette, which led to them all concluding that the King of Wakanda is a twerp.

*long pause*
*hysterical laughter*

Right. Shuri was there to explain her--hee twerp brother's behavior to Wayne. Speaking of awkward, Miguel got to meet Rosa's father despite Rosa's protest that no one even knew who she was. Octavia and Liam caught up about Liam's visitor this weekend and Octavia's slightlyl blood-thirsty, flirty turn last weekend. Finally, Keyleth met some porgs.

What's a porg?

*shuffling paper*

Oh, look, a helpful note! They are birds from Rey's galaxy, and both she and Octavia declare them to be cute. Then Rey and Octavia commisserated about last weekend where Rey declared her love for Luke Skywalker while Octavia planned to marry and murder Anakin. You know, as you do. Over at Luke's, Summer was there for a last round of pancakes with Kanan, and Duke and his guest Nathan came in for brunch, too. And then Hernando's guest Dani came to ask for caf. Not coffee?

*chittering*

Huh. Guess she's from a different galaxy, then. Finally, over at Demon Marcus, Tisarwat's guest was looking for fish sauce. Sparkle explained that he didn't have any because it was a clothing store and then Zeiat was confused because the green nail polish had tasted just fine and...yeah, I think I'm going to end it right there.

This is Steve Rogers. Have a good week, everyone.

You stay over there.

*gremlin noises*

OVER. THERE.

This is Steve Rogers and I'm going to go find the squirrels after this and conduct labor negotiations or something because this has gotten ridiculous. So, onto the notes!

Lana was in the library, where the books were taking it so easy they'd made themselves hammocks. Over in the dorms, Tisarwat was teaching herself how to cook. That's very brave of you! Trevor stopped by to eat random leftovers from the fridge--good! Food waste is wrong!--and learn that Tisarwat was learning to cook so she can be sure everything is made by someone wearing gloves. It's a cultural thing, apparently, but also good for hygiene, in my opinion. Sabine learned about the gloves too, when she offered to order pizza, and Tisarwat was very annoyed that the quick and easy pasta wasn't quick or easy to make. Trevor and Sabine marveled at how Tisarwat had managed to burn water and hey I've done that, too!

*gremlins gremlinning*

I don't know what you said, but it sounded rude, so cut it out.

Town was busy, with Summer stopping into Luke's after Kanan had...helped get a hairnet onto the pancake-cooking polar bear and I swear I'm not gremlin bit this time. There was a gremlin at Demon Marcus and Sparkle wasn't sure if it was a radio gremlin or a new employee, so he just gave it a wide berth.

Good call, Sparkle. Hannibal stopped by to mention how he'd been talking with Hernando about nothing all that interesting, which is definitely what you say when something interesting has been mentioned. Owen got visited by Nina and all of her exclamation points at Book Haven, Rey came to a peaceful impasse with her gremlin at Stark's, for which we all thank you, and Atton was working at Caritas in between texts and phone calls to other people.

*gremlin noises*

Yeah, I'm not learning to speak gremlin. Sorry. And that's all they've given me so I'm going to figure out what else I need for a squirrel...labor summit thing. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears! I'll be at the Perk tomorrow.

[OOC: Apologies for lateness! My relatives are visiting and I couldn't get onto the computer for...roughly two days. Grr.]

Hello and happy Labor Day! Go out and thank a member of a union for bringing us the weekend, the end to child labor in America, and the hope that someday we might all be paid a living wage--

*chittering*

You don't get paid money?

*extensive chittering*

You're sure that you don't get paid at all?

*more chittering*

I'm pretty sure the rum counts, Leroy. And it's not like you need a 401K or a house down payment.

*sulky chittering*

I don't think I am being speciest, but I'd be happy to continue this conversation after the radio...and they're making angry placards. Sorry about this, folks. Let's get to the notes before I'm thrown out of here for being a scab or something. It was Sunday yesterday, so there weren't any classes, but Lana was in the library at school with helpful books about Earth, even if the one about modern politics had to be coaxed out of the corner.

Been there, too, book. My sympathies. Oh, that reminds me that I didn't introduce myself. Welcome! I'm Steve Rogers, one of the teachers here, and I'm happy to answer any questions--

*derisive chittering*

That don't include rodent labor practices. Over in the dorms, Elisabeth arrived in time for classes and got to meet Sabine, Keyleth, Lana, and Nina.

In town, Owen was enjoying leftovers from the picnic during his shift at the Bookbelt, Rey was at Stark Industries going through the repairs that hadn't been picked up in a while, and new guy Duke came by ship and it's docked in the harbor and everyone was really excited by that. He met Jack and told her that the moose signed him up to teach a class, which came as news to Duke. For you new folks, there really is a moose. I'm not on any form of narcotics. Duke also met Sidon, and now I need to assure Duke that he also is not on any narcotics. Probably. Sidon's real, at least. I don't know Duke's personal life. Rey got offered a kebab and decided she'd chance the free food from a stranger because it was free food, and chatted with Duke about mechanics and what people do on the island when they aren't teaching or working. Miguel was also wandering around the docks and got offered free kebabs. Those are a little like shawarma, right?

*chittering*

Right, you wouldn't really know, huh.

Over at Caritas, Atton was serving up rum to Tisarwat, who was trying it because the squirrels like it. That...may not be the best way to explore alcohol.

*thwacking sounds*

Ow. Stop throwing things at me. It doesn't hurt, but it's very annoying. Jack came by and guessed that the giant vats of drinks Atton was making were for Sparkle and that seems kinda personal and not like something he'd want spread around on the radio, so I'm going to stop right there. Hernando came by to tell Atton about the apartment he's set up in Toronto and invited him to move there with him and Sparkle? Like a threesome? I'm definitely not reading any further on that.

*chittering*

Stop it, Leroy, I'm not blushing. And Lana came by to check and see if her new little sibling had made an appearance.

Over at Demon Marcus, Sparkle got interrupted from his work day by Hannibal coming by with lunch and beer, and then Atton with the sparkly drinks he'd been making at Caritas.

And that's all the notes I have, though it doesn't mean the squirrels aren't holding out on me. So...sorry about the tiny rodent picket line in front of the radio today, gang. That's probably my fault.

Good morning, everyone, it's Steve Rogers--

*STAR-SPANGLED MAN WITH A PLAN PLAYING*

...of course you've found that song. Let's just move along, okay? There were workshops yesterday, of course. Bob was teaching the kids from Fun with Magic how to go through hedge mazes using wings...sure...Anakin asked the Flight students to pick out a favorite jetpack from his extensive collection, Netflix 101 learned how to correctly pick snacks to match the show they're watching--that's a thing? And Kitty's class had a movie in the park featuring sharks, and if they start raining from the sky again, we can all blame her.

*chittering*

Yes, I will use my disappointed face on her. The dorms were quiet, as was Verity's shift at the Devil's Nest as long as you were fine with Liam being turned into a cat. Rey found herself on the beach back to herself instead of a, well, ray with an 'a', and should I be worried about the animal transformation wave?

*chittering*

Apparently it always happens this time of year. Huh. Over at the Trooper Station, Rosa got a report from Seivarden about tea potentially being poisoned, so I guess that's something to be on the lookout for even if Rosa didn't think the report seemed all that credible. In the park, Kaidan was out for a run despite the weather--I admire that kind of grit--and stopped to chat with Hernando for a bit, and then with Mitsutada, who had been a little homesick the last time they'd caught up. And then he was stumbling a bit and leaning against trees for a while--the squirrels are guessing drunk, but I'll be honest, that's their first guess on everything. And then he got to see Peridot playing fetch with a tiny T-rex and a sentient pumpkin, so maybe drinking isn't completely outside the realm of possibility.

And on that slightly surreal note, I'm all out of notes. Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning, everyone, this is Steve Rogers and I'm apparently doing the radio today.

*chittering*

I have no idea what you're saying but the pictures you've drawn of me in my jogging shorts are...weirdly detailed. Please stop it. In classes yesterday, Music class talked about the voice being the first instrument, and American History class talked about the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's death and what has changed in the last fifty years, and what hasn't.

The dorms were quiet, but in town, Summer was enjoying the onsen. I have no idea what an onsen is, but I'm glad she was enjoying it. And Kanan was in the park for his normal time with his puppy and practicing his lightsaber. Rey stopped by and they talked about meditation and then she started following along with his lesson and was really, really, strangely good at it. Congratulations, Rey! It's always so nice to discover something you're good at.

Well, that's all I have for notes today. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Good morning, everyone, it's Steve Rogers again with more news of this last week of summer classes.

*cheers*

Apparently Leroy has some strong feelings about you departing seniors...

In classes, Practical Philosophy talked about shared common experiences through coming to Fandom and Andrew made sure Peridot had his contact information before he left to go...wherever he goes when he's not teaching Practical Philosophy, I suppose. 2 Flight 2 Flying--really?--

*chittering*

Apparently something else I need to look up. They had a hot air balloon race, which sounds pretty amazing. Relationships talked about how you can't expect your partner to change for you, and then discussed things you might compromise on to stay with someone.

Over at the dorms, Dante was in his room eating cake--

*annoyed chittering*

Which he didn't share with the reporting squirrels--and Dante, when he finds out that next week is Ezra's last year makes a date to go have cake with him.

*chittering*

Pretty sure you can't just crash it, Leroy. That would be rude. Dante shared the cake with Anders, who admitted that now he was having a good day for no apparent reason. Maybe I should bring Tony cake. He had a tough weekend...

*chittering*

Leroy, enough about the cake.

Finally, in town, Dr. Lecter's eating class went to eat in Paris, which I highly recommend. All of my restaurants about about 60 years out of date, though. And that's everything? That's everything. I'm off to the bakery. Leroy, come on if you want to--

Good morning everyone...at least the sun isn't screaming any more? That was da--rned disturbing.

*chittering*

Leroy wants you to know he's offering a breakfast special of eggs fried on the sidewalk if any of you are really, really hungry. I grew up in the Great Depression and I'm still not sure I'm that hungry. Okay, moving on. In classes, Flying class got on the trapeze, Deadpool and Vanessa gave their Relationship class a movie day, and Practical Philosophy talked about how our upbringing affects our personality. Sounds fascinating. I've got a few thoughts on it, actually.

It was all quiet in the dorms, and in town, the staff at Luke's wanted to fry eggs on the sidewalk until Eliot talked them out of it.

*chittering*

Sorry, Leroy, it's not exactly a unique idea. And Hannibal's eating class went to Lima, Peru, and he and Kanan talked about all of the suns out here today. Which is weird. I'm gonna be upfront about that.

And that's it! Well, that was easy. Have a good, safe, sunblock-filled week, okay?
