WTFH

There's a groundhog here. Why is there a groundhog here? Are they even native to the area?

*chittering*

Visiting for the holiday. Right. Okay, I don't really want to know the details of that. Let's get our... one note over with here. Octavia enjoyed herself in the indoor pool of Lucifer's place before texting with him and then sharing a drink. And that's all there is here. Aside from the groundhog situation.

Have a great day, folks!

Oh, wow, you all actually have notes for me this week! I thought maybe you went on strike after I missed that day that Lydia kindly filled in for.

Let's see... we're all in town again with Pam sitting outside of Pick Your Poison with Boc meeting her and discussing how unused to seasons changing he is and sharing what his home was like with Pam. And Harley also happened by, though the notes don't share much on that exchange. Sabine dealt with some coffee based monstrosities at The Perk. Don also had that happen to him before sharing how, ah, adventurous the gremlins at the Starbucks in the tower are. Look, we really don't like to stifle creative science unless it causes some kind of world altering event. But the odds of that are low! They're low. Jon met Sabine over his peppermint tea... which sounds pretty normal if you ask me. Though gingerbread was threatened, it seems. Don explained to him how his coffee had a texture that wasn't meant for coffee. Yeah, I can see how that would be upsetting if you're not doing something like eating coffee grounds. Which I've definitely never done in an emergency. Steve and I had a minor mishap that certainly wouldn't need any yelling from any doctors in the ballroom of the mini Stark Tower. Watts was bundled up after getting some shots at the boarding house with Steven taking care of him.

And that appears to be everything! Everyone take care and enjoy the day. Ciao!

Well, hopefully everyone has recovered from the food on Thursday to deal with the start of the December madness. That powdered sugar is going to be a pain to wash out of things.

And I braved it for... two notes. Really? Fine, fine. Over at Pick Your Poison, Pam was taking care of an employee turned potted plant when Octavia stopped in. And that's it.

Well, hopefully tomorrow will be less messy. Have a good one, folks!

Sunday again? This week has just been a blur of pillow forts and ball pits.

But here we are with the news again. And I have a winter coffee from the Starbucks kiosk. I didn't have the heart to tell them I just wanted the coffee without any filter. They looked so hopeful. Let's just get this going so I can... definitely not give this to Steve or anything.

First, we had Steven at the boarding house, setting up dinner with a piano practicing Watts. Cal, also at the boarding house, stopped in to talk to Arden about defining the relationship and wow that's just a lot of glitter on this note.

But that appears to be all we've got. A nice, quiet weekend, hopefully. Have a good one!

It's Sunday? Already? It feels like this past week just went by far too quickly. We should go back to vacation.

*annoyed chittering*

Yes, yes. I know. We're all back now. Alright, let's start off. The trip ended yesterday morning with Liliana finding she'd been bested by Ignis. Octavia was on her phone yesterday morning, reading up on some findings about Pompeii that she shared with Duke before they established a regular date night to reconnect with. Steven and Watts dealt with a peeved cat before going into plans to visit Egypt for their next vacation. Well, it's always best to plan ahead. Oh, and it looks like Don got some good news about his medical license too. Good for him!

And that's all there is as everyone recovers from vacation. Always the worst to get back into the swing of things.

Have a good one, folks!

*chittering*

Tony: Yes, yes, I know. This is Pepper. She's here to help.

Pepper: Tony, these are squirrels.

Tony: Yes they are. It's best to just think of them as paparazzi. Drunk paparazzi.

Pepper: ...this is payback for the board meetings, isn't it.

( Would Tony do that? Yes. Yes, he would. )

We're back once again to... actual notes from the squirrels! Wow, I'm impressed that they actually did some work. Granted, it's not much. But we can all be proud of them for trying. Maybe.

Nothing, of course, from the school, nothing from the dorms either. But over in town, Ignis allowed Summer to bring him jelly bean roses? Well, that's a new one. Steven made a roast dinner for him and Watts to share after he finished his piano lessons.

And that, well, that's all I have for now. Everyone have a lovely morning out there.

I'm back once again! Well, it seems like this might just be the day I get dragged in here by the squirrels. At least for a bit.

Happy Sunday, folks. This is Tony Stark with the news from yesterday. Nothing in the school or dorms. Oh no, everything was over in town where Kitty once again hosted Three Minue Dates at Caritas. Where people gathered before the dating occurred with Don explaining to Yelena that he wasn't here for a date, but she was signed up by someone else. Remy willingly signed up for it with Kitty. Arden and Remy caught up after he was a rat for a weekend. Ah, yes. These things happen around here. Steve's a dog at the moment, so... Anyway, Lydia and Arden complimented each other's looks and Arden explained she was going to a club with Gray, but in more quaint old fashioned terms. Lydia also spoke with Adrian about matters of magic and the differences between their worlds. Arden and Gray confirmed their plans and also Gray's taste in men which... the squirrels are split in judging and agreeing with. I don't think I want to know more, honestly. But after all of that, all of the dates began.

Then, the bar was open with Jane at the ready to serve people. Rey and Jane questioned if Tino had a life outside the bar. Adrian bought Rey a drink and explained his cat to her. Logan had a drink sent to him from Yelena. Liliana and Ignis celebrated their sort of anniversary, having met one of of these events. Yelena met Jane and told her about being stuck here and unable to return home at this moment. Hopefully that won't be a long term thing for her. Adrian and Yelena had an interesting conversation about magic and his heart that possibly involved offered nudity. Stark and Jane caught up about her classes and his dates. Stewart and Arden commiserated for a brief moment before going into a battle of song titles. Belle tried to get Stewart to use his words and they both got a drink out of the deal. Don stopped in to explain a few things about his class with Jane and... you know what, it's not important to read the rest of that.

And on that note, we've finished with all the news that the squirrels decided to gather up for the day. Hopefully everyone is having a nice day, recovering from all their dates yesterday. Have a good one!

Tony: I thought you were supposed to leave me alone now. Bother some other person with your notes.

*chittering*

Tony: I'll take that as a no then.

*door opening and closing*

Other Tony: ...well, this is a new one.

Tony: Knew I should have brought my Skrull detector.

Other Tony: Your what detector?

Tony: Let's just say you better be from an alternate universe.

Other Tony: Yeah, duly noted.

*door opening and closing*

Yet Another Tony: Oh god, it's two old me's.

Tony: Excuse you!

Other Tony: And a little mini-me. Us. Whatever.

Yet Another Tony: This is a new sort of torture, isn't it?

*door opening and closing*

Steve: ...oh, I’ve had nightmares like this before. Tony. Tony. ...Tony. Good morning.

Trio of Tonys: Steve! ...stop that. God, this is creepy.

Steve: You’re not wrong.

Tony: Let's just get started. Give me those notes. At the school, Cara had her class, Don't Be Stupid meet on the lawn to talk about common sense and when they felt like the only sane one.

Other Tony: Every day of my life.

Yet Another Tony: Sorta doubting that.

Tony: I'm not. We're amazing. Philosophy of Loss had Didi asking kids about their favorite mortality themed story. Teamwork and Tactics met in the danger shop for running, paintball, and the usual introductions.

In the dorms, Cassandra unpacked and discussed the rights of mages with Gwen vs their powers. And oh, that sounds eerily familiar. Anyone seen Maria Hill lately?

Steve: Is she like that in your universe, too? Huh. In town, Maria was listening to oldies at Groovy Tunes, while Pinkie Pie sold friendship necklaces at Wonka's. Four started work at Stark Industries, where there was a kumquat problem. Naturally. Raven and Jalian--I may be mispronouncing that--went on a date at Ching Tai, while there was a problem with syrup at The Devil's Nest, where Kitty and Allie speculated about this weekend before doing some wedding planning. Oh, are they getting married? Congratulations!

Tony: No, no. She's marrying Barton. Yeah, Clint 'Watch me do a backflip off the Hulk' Barton is getting married.

Yet Another Tony: He made out with Black Widow after they paralyzed me once. It sorta made teamwork hard after that one.

Steve: Some things really don’t change across universes, it turns out. In less happy news, Frank discovered that's the bar that doesn't serve alcohol to minors. Earlier in the day (I’m assuming), Hannibal had Sparkle and Atton over for breakfast. Atton was late, but Hannibal gave him coffee anyway, and then Atton Atton yelled at Sparkle. Either I'm missing some backstory or Atton is very rude. Oh, and Hannibal also gave Sparkle coffee and talked to him about his plans. And Clarke visited Bellamy at his apartment.

Tony: And that's everything. Look at that teamwork, folks.

Other Tony: Oh god, please don't get sentimental on us.

Steve: You’re all just so...Tony. I think I should get out of here before any more show up.

Yet Another Tony: There are more? Oh god.

Steve: I don’t remember more, but I’m not ruling it out.

Tony: That's all for today, folks. This has been Tony Stark times three and Steve Rogers bringing you the news.

It's Saturday already? How the time flies. Yes, yes, just give me the notes and we can get this over with.

Nothing going on at the school. Shocking.

Or the dorms. Huh.

But in town we had Kitty looking at wedding dresses--still have to tell Barton back home about that. At the Perk, Johnny was waiting on his portal home. Alana wondered how things all fit in his bag--I'm gonna guess Pym particles--and how they needed to keep in touch. Gwen also called to find out the news of his departure.

At the Devil's Nest, Allie was catching up on what she missed as a bat.

And last, Bellamy was at the Kwik Stop making poor life choices. Jessica checked on him in her police capacity and Washington checked to make sure he was okay. But that's all we have folks.

Keep relaxing on your off week. This has been Tony Stark bringing you the news.

Well, we're having a nice, quiet weekend. And I'd very much appreciate it if things would stay that way. Good? Good. Let's getting started.

At the school, we had How Not To Kill Yourself With Incantations talked about how to pronounce things after letting the kids know they didn't miss anything last week. Due to aliens. After the lecture, they read floating words--seriously--and discussed them. After all of that, you could talk to Bob or Anders. If All Else Fails, Hit Something featured a trip to the bar. Well. That's not a bad idea. The class yesterday was about relaxing. Until one of the aliens was programmed in for a bar fight. Cara was there if anyone needed more than that.

In town, they were selling entire buckets of coffee at the Perk where Kitty didn't bring me any. Shame on you. Caritas was out of alcohol on Didi's watch. Another shame on you.

But that's all there is. This has been Tony Stark, bringing you the news.

I could be in the comfortable central air of my shop, but luckily or you fine folks listening, I'm here to bring you the news of the day. Aren't you all so pleased?

If not, maybe you shouldn't be listening. Just a thought.

Let's start on the school with the class I just can't seem to avoid, How Not to Kill Yourself With Incantations--still going to stand by on 'just don't do it'--talked about written magic. They learned about the inks needed for these things. Which are inks I'll just be avoiding. The teacher, Bob and TA, Anders were around. If All Else Fails, Hit Something worked on their footing in the mood because fights aren't going to happen in a nice padded environment. The kids could get nice and muddy working with practice dummies or each other. The teacher, Cara, apparently didn't enjoy herself at all. Uh huh.

Over in the dorms, Raven was watching a show about crying food. And. Yeah, that's... a thing. Why is that a thing? Jasper also questioned this, but learned it was the only thing on. Which is terrifying. Kathy insisted that cartoons used to be better, but Jasper was dubious as he never watched any. She also questioned Raven on why this show.

In town, we had Pinkie's usual antics with eating red hots and breathing fire. Yeah, totally normal there. Sure. At the Devil's Nest, Allie was on her phone when Kitty stopped by to talk about home being terrible despite her doing better. And at Caritas, Didi watching Tino build a shot glass tower and I'm almost certain that would end with glass shards everywhere.

But that's all there is. This has been Tony Stark, bringing you the news.

Happy 4th if July, everyone! Hopefully you have a party to go to or something. I'm late to go celebrate in New York, so let's get this show on the road.

School had How Not to Kill Yourself With Incantations... why do I always get the magic class? They had their lecture before the introductions. Both the teacher and the TA were there. There was also If All Else Fails, Hit Something told people to leave if they weren't there for hitting things. A pretty straight forward class. Nice. After the lecture they got around to some violent introductions. If the kids weren't okay with that, they could just talk to the teacher.

The, well, the yurts had Hanna roasting marshmallows and listening to music. Kathy stopped by to tell her all about her ipod and ABBA. Which, no accounting for taste, I guess. Ringo was also there to talk about the heat, dancing, and post-graduate plans. Kathy teased Ringo before a singing, dancing competition began.

And town had Kitty dealing with some bad hair dye. Well, if it was red, white, or blue you could turn it into a theme for today.

But that's all I have. Have a good holiday

*angry chittering*

I told you, I have things to do this morning--

*more angry chittering*

I'm not going to argue with a squirrel, okay? It's a new level of strange I don't need in my life. Taking notes from, sure. But I'm not going to pretend I understand what you're saying.

*yet more angry chittering*

I'm here. Late, but I'm here. Just give me the notes. Thank you. The sooner I get started, the sooner I can get back to work. Ahem. It was the last week of school for this session. Try not to cry, kids. Fun With Magic had a snowball fight on the lawn. In the summer. After explained, he had Anders and Elsa make the snow. With magic. The teacher was there to get a snowball thrown through him by Lottie, and then was asked for an exemption from the activity by Ada. Anders was there and got thanked for all his hard work. Practical Philosophy discussed the changes since they arrived in fandom and what they think they'll do in the future. And Ender was there, of course.

Over in the dorms, we had Jasper hanging out on the porch when Thorin showed up to ask if he was okay. Then explained about dwarves. Cool people. Met them when we dealt with one of Thor's family dramas. Elsa was packing up to go home when she got a visit from Kaylin who learns that she was going to go help her sister. Barry also stopped by to hope she won't be gone too long.

And then we have town with Ronan sleeping in his car in the parking lot. He must have injured himself while he slept because Ezra showed up to try and make him go to the clinic.

Might want to go just to be safe, kid.

Wonka's once again had Pinkie Pie there, only this time she was trying to decide on her candy choice. At the Devil's Nest had Allie watching a gremlin poker night. Hopefully from a safe distance. Mike stopped by to catch up with her far from the gremlins.

But that's all. Now these guys can stop trying to ruin my work. Have a good weekend, folks.

So, I'm a woman today. That's a new one. I hope it's not just me, though. I'd say misery loves company, but it's actually not to bad. As long as it doesn't last, of course.

I'd have to completely reconfigure the suit and--nevermind. Let's get started.

We have the school as per usual. Fun With Magic played musical chairs. With magic. Because of course. The chairs moved and disappeared during the game because why not? The teacher, teaching assistant, and Eliot were all there. Practical Philosophy discussed judging people. Also there, the teacher in case anyone needed to judge him. Last, Sexual Safety talked about BDSM and then looked at the different gear available.

That seems appropriate for teenagers, sure.

The dorm had Cassandra preparing for a date. In the fifth floor common room, Dipper was trying to figure out where the food came from. I think the answer is the grocery store. Or a restaurant. Lottie wanted to know if this was like the moose video--wow, I don't think I want to know. But then they discussed if the squirrels were supplying the food. The answer is no. Ringo also stopped in to discuss how much footage he was going to get of strange things. Understatement. Ringo. Which really makes it seem less crazy.

Let's move onto what happened in town, shall we? Nathan went to the beach for some swimming. At the Perk, Claire was listing to some gossip before getting more gossip from Eliot about Thor being a teacher. Yeah, the big guy is around here somewhere. And at Il Pollo, Face and Cassandra had a date. Which involved flowers and discussion about their classes. Ah, young love.

But that's all. This has been Tony Stark, bringing your news.

Alright, I'm and I'm not old or from a completely wrong timeline. Hi. Hello. Welcome back to the radio.

Thanks for listening.

*chittering*

I think one of the squirrels is making eyes at me. That was not an intended side effect of being nice. Let's get this done before I'm attacked. Ahem, the school had maze in Fun with Magic. I'm not sure how that's fun, but then again I hate magic. The lecture didn't address how the safety vests changed color and let them fly. Which would probably be useful in a maze, yeah. Afterwards there were drinks. Alluka stopped to talk to the teacher and to Anders. Sexual Safety talked about consent after the teacher apologized for last week. After that, they came up with non-sex things to do. Well, if anyone doesn't respect your boundaries, they're just not right for you. And you could probably do better, kids. The lovely Ms. Adler was there to talk to after class. Practical Philosophy discussed the weekend and if it had merit. After the lecture, the could discuss or talk to the teacher.

Over at the dorms, it was a slow day with just Jasper on the roof. And something about owing Skywalker money? Okay then.

Town held Pinkie at Wonka's taste-testing the gummy bears. Caritas had Didi working on lemon based drinks before Kitty showed up to talk about the whole death thing. Which I'm not fully understanding, but I'll assume had to do with the weekend. Starsmore showed up to talk about how he can't drink and flirt. Wow, those are some dedicated glitter signs from the squirrels. Just. I'm impressed. Seriously. And last for the notes, we have Allie straightening up over at the Devil's Nest.

That's it, everyone. Hope your weekend is less crazy than last.

And we're back to work. Good morning again, folks. This is Tony Stark here to bring you your only a little bit creepy news obtained by squirrels. You... you get used to it. Don't worry, newbies.

Let's start with the school now that it's back in session. Fun With Magic--not possible--met on the front lawn of the school. There was a lecture extolling the nonexistent virtues of magic and then introductions. After all that the teacher and TA were available. The lovely Irene had her class on Sexual Safety where the lecture apparently made the class blush. There was a collection of safe sex gear and only after that was looked at did the kids finally introduce themselves. And of course, Irene was there to talk to. Last is Practical Philosophy was also out on the lawn to talk about being here. They did introductions and talked to each other or the teacher.

In the dorms we had Rapunzel painting a mural in her room. They can do that? Huh.

In town Bucky--and boy will that never be normal--was outside Chilly Boulder staring at his smoothie. I tried to explain green smoothies but he wasn't having it. Irene met him as well, making nice with intriductions. Wonka's was opened by Pinkie yesterday. Wow, that seems like an accident waiting to happen. Also in the new to work was Didi over at Caritas. And finally, Atticus was drinking tea at the clinic when Claire arrived to get a job.

That looks like all there is. Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.

Alright, alright. I'm here. I'd think you guys would be busy getting ready for graduation.

I'll get this done so you can get back to the excitement of today. I'm a giver like that. At the school we had our last classes of the semester. Business Sense got some parting words from their teacher and then played video games. If I was a student, that's the class I would have taken. This Living City traveled to the future--would not recommend--to check out Gotham of his time. How Not to Die went to a bar. And there's another class I would have taken. Powers & Identity had an actual final in the form of a short essay on if the class was helpful or not.

Obi-wan put his office together--wait, we have offices? That explains so much. Anakin stopped by and--you now, I could definitely see him using the term 'homie', squirrel. Whichever one of you wrote that. Maybe you should leave him a little bandanna to complete the look.

In town, we had Atton over at Galactica Point trying to play cards. In the wind. Atton was being dramatic, it sounds like. Kitty broke up a fight at Caritas. Wait, what did Tino do to get into a fight? Look into that, guys. At the Arms Hotel, Mary had to put up with gremlin bitten staff. Who were dancing like the Rockettes. I hope she took video. And finally, The Devil's Nest had Allie and Tiny avoiding gremlins in the lounge. Good plan there.

But that's all I have. Seriously, slow day. Maybe everyone was busy getting ready for things. Go have coffee and try not to do something like streak across the stage during the ceremony.

Did anyone else notice the amount of kids outside? Just me?

*chittering*

...and there's also a baby squirrel in here. I don't know how I feel about this. How about we just start on the notes, yeah?

*chittering*

Working on that translator. Honest. Ahem. At the school we had our usual classes with The Living City checking out Mod London in the 60's. Business Sense discussed how to close down a business--hopefully without turning into a super-villain. How Not to Die worked on formal wear that you can fight in. That's actually a really good lesson. None for the guys, though, as Four learned. The trick to that is to know a good tailor. Powers & Identity talked about pets. Hopefully pets that aren't squirrels.

In the dorms, Isabelle gave out food and campaigned for prom queen. Food always helps. Ronan thought it was dumb, but he probably took some food, so it wasn't that bad.

And town that's not at the prom, Jono was dressed by Hannibal before festivities even started. Mary at the Arms was preparing cribs for after... prom. You know, people really should have been warned about whatever is happening. At the Devil's Nest, Allie was playing games on her phone.

And finally, we have prom over at the community center. It seems to have been caveman themed. When people arrived, they could try out some props. Is that what happens at a prom? Huh. Kinda sad I didn't have one. Edward and Cosette weren't impressed by the decorations, but were happy to move to the dancefloor. Isabelle picked heels that let her loom over her date, Flick. Poor kid. Raven and Kathy liked each other's outfits. Which seems pretty common since Jalian joined in on that. Anders was not liking his suit, but Kathy helped him with the tie. You get used to them. Or try to set trends where ties aren't used. Nathan complimented the tie before discussion of glitter being used as a weapon came up. Barry was a dog--a literal dog--and his date was a bear. A literal one. Not that there's anything wrong with the other kind of bear. Ezra, unlike most of the other guys, was happy in his suit. And then went on to flirt with Kathy. And there was also Ichabod and Celia judging the props. Which seemed to be the thing to do.

There was a photo booth for the kids, and some food and punch. Travis stuck by the food where Kathy found him to discuss Gaunt. Which I'm sure was fun. Emma was also by the food, talking to Four about which is the best to try.

And there was also the dance floor. Edward was pleased to recognize some of the music when he danced with Cosette. O-kay. I'll assume time travel or homeschooling.

There was a shadowy corner for people like Ronan to stick to. I think that defeats the point of going to prom. Chaperons were there too. Hardison really liked Eliot's outfit, both him and Parker liked how Eliot looked in fact. She checked if Eliot had a date for this thing. Jono and Hannibal showed up in tuxes which apparently left Eliot feeling they were a little too fancy for the event. Well, it's probably a good thing I didn't go then.

Prom court was then announced with Edward and Elsa as junior king and queen, and Isabelle and Sparkle as senior king and queen. Congrats, kids. They were varying levels of surprise and excitement. And it looks like the dance ended with the court dancing, though Elsa suddenly turned into a bear before she could dance with Edward. Luckily Sparklevolunteered to switch partners with Edward. Not sure what that says about Isabelle.

Oh, and last note of the night seems to be saying a threesome is going to happen with Eliot, Hardison, and Parker. Is anyone surprised?

But that's all I've got. Now I have to hide from any kids running around here. Have a good weekend, folks!

Well, this has been a busy week, hasn't it? Don't answer that.
( Busy busy busy )

*excited chittering*

Yes, yes. I'm here. You can stop freaking out at me for being late. I do have my own things to do some mornings. At least Pepper tells me that I do.

Let's get started while the squirrels calm down. Staring with... the school. As per usual. The Living City looked into the 1964 Summer Olympics that were held in fall. But hey, the kids were able to attend the events. Powers & Identity talked about people caring about them for who they are and not who they could be. Which. Ha. Can of worms there. And it seemed that there was a king cobra there that was Hannibal. Well, that's... interesting. Past radio informs me that other me's turned into miniature ponies. I think a cobra would be better. They also discussed what they wanted in friends. Business Sense talked about being the victim of a corporate crime. Legal action. I vote that because apparently vigilante justice is illegal. Who knew? And last, How Not To Die had the kids cooking for a hungover Cara. Good plan.

Dorms just had Anders staring into space while his palms bled. Well. That's... not good. Cassandra stopped by to let him know it was bad and that he should probably see a doctor.

Moving on. In town, Rinoa made breakfast for Squall who asked about Junctioned Quezacoatl. No clue here, folks. Allie at the Devil's Nest waited around for her shift to be over to go to a party. At the Park, Eliot was in the park with his puppy. And then threatened to hit something invisible for the puppy. Okay. Keeping an eye on that. Hardison stopped by to be weirded out by the puppy--thank god it's not just me--and upset about some treatment of Parker and a busboy. There's probably more to that.

And looks like everyone was at Needful Things. Travis brought in a bag of something, but the squirrels didn't notice what. Thanks. Anders found something he was looking for there. There was also something there that Ronan was interested in. Rinoa stopped by and it ends there because the squirrels are useless. Kathy was there for costume jewelry for her mom. Probably not the right place for real jewelry, yeah. Hanna said she didn't have any money, but that was okay because Leland preferred to barter. Weird.

In other news, there was a 'Stache Bash. How did I not know about that? People mingled upon arrival. Mike approved Tamsin's forehead mustache before asking if his made him look better. Pinkie brought her own mustache--hopefully fake--and agreed with Mike that Derek needed to have more parties. Sounds like he's a buzzkill to me. Atton got a minor lecture on ponies and the land of the ponies. I didn't think I could read that with a straight face. Go me. Kitty and Mike discussed her mustache and the drink of choice for the party. Eponine and Kitty took mustache selfies before discussing how this would go over at home. Irene and Kitty talked about how easy it was to mess with Derek after complimenting each other on their fake facial hair. Atton thought the theme was overdone before he and Kitty discussed overly dramatic weekends. I just hope I get to own the diamond mine radio keeps talking about. Hawkeye informed Kitty that he felt like he was in an old movie before talking about his own teenage forays into facial hair. God, tell me there are pictures. Irene felt Hatter was cheating with his real facial hair, but found out he wasn't in the mood because something was stolen from him recently. Huh.

Mike told Irene that her mustache was making him question his sexuality. Is that supposed to be like seeing an attractive woman in a suit? Because there's no questioning there. Not for me, at least. Tamsin and Irene talked about how it was fine to hate things, but taunting Derek was fun too. Mike let Stiles know that the party was all because Derek tried to prevent him from growing a mustache. That sounds normal, sure. Kitty and Stiles went on to think of more parties based on things that Derek hates. Which is pretty dedicated to keeping the theme. Hopefully he hates things like fun and skimpy clothing. The man in question flirted with Stiles while also accusing him of enabling the party. Derek tried to claim he was neither brooding, nor sulking when questioned on it by Mike before getting forced to say 'Pom Selleck'. Which was the drink of choice at the party. That sounds amazing and horrible. Tamsin seemed strangely pleased that Derek wasn't sulking in his room all night rather than attend the party. And Irene was told that Mike's beard was patchy. Someone sounds jealous. Kitty and Derek debated whether or not he was a facial hair expert or simply a prodigy. How does one become a prodigy of these things? She and Allie caught up while wondering how guys ate with facial hair. Carefully. Very carefully. Mike and Allie also had that discussion before planning to give Tamsin pickle flaoured vodka. I'm sure their funerals will be lovely.

Eponine and Allie complimented each other on their mustaches before getting into a sword fight with them. Which sounds... yeah. Food and drink there was also mustache themed. Shocking, I'm sure. Eponine and Tamsin discussed her new job as mayor of the city--wait, really? Huh. Before switching drinks. Eponine let Mike know that she really enjoyed the donut flavoured vodka he got for the party. Is that a cop joke? I'm not sure. And finally, over in the shadowy corner we had Hatter who was deeply confused by the Pom Selleck, much to Mike's disconcertion.

Greetings from the tackiest cruise I have ever been on. It's not even a complaint, I'm honestly impressed by this. Also by the dedication these squirrels have shown.

I won't even complain that they woke me up for this.

Okay, let's see what we have... yesterday morning it looks like my illusive roommate Atton checked out the entertainment--I'm going to venture it involved disco. Flick spent his time on the sun deck despite there being trips to El Arco and Lover's Beach, San Jose Del Cabo, or Medano beach. Ronan and Ezra talked about lesbian space vampires--have yet to meet one--and conga lines while flirting with each other. Who would have pegged 'lesbian space vampires' as the right line? Hatter went to Todos Santos while other people stuck with more nautical entertainment like snorkling, hanging out with dolphins--like Minako--or whale watching. But there were other outdoors things to do too.

Last night it was the much awaited Formal Night here on the boat. Ship? I'm not good at these terms. People --and I'm using this phrase very loosely--dressed up to go dance at the disco. Anders got a drink for Nathan so they could compare what they got. Oh, and I missed out on the Fiesta Paradisa show girls arrived to entertain people. Or you could ignore the showgirls for other things apparently. Flick avoided the polyester by reading in his room. Smart. Also not at the party, Hannibal took Karla out for a moonlight stroll to ask her to be his sounding board. Always good to have one of those. That's why I have Pepper. Barry was also out for a walk, but apparently his was less than pleasant.

But that looks to be all I have. Enjoy the last few hours aboard before he get back, folks.

For so much snow, this place seems warm. Does it seem warm to anyone else? I should look into the temperature controls...

Radio! Yes, that's what I'm here for. Right. Let's get this over with so we can all carry on with our lives. The school is up first, The Living City went on a field trip to the Columbian Exposition of 1893 which, I'd assume was in Columbia. Beautiful country. Lovely women. Hmm. What was I talking about?

*chittering*

Yeah, still working on that squirrel translator. Powers & Identity had an open forum after the lecture where any questions could be asked. And Jono got a text. Which is newsworthy in this small town. Business Sense dealt with people in a restaurant while How Not to Die cleaned stables. Well. That's a way to keep kids in line.

At the dorms, we had Sparkle selling flowers. I knew a woman named Sparkle. Though that was a stage name... Ahem. Cecil stopped by to complain about missing his scientist and how the snow helped. Right. Sure it did. In the Salle, Cassandra was taking out frustrations with a sword--well, that's one way to do it. Anders showed up to get into a fight with her and it's a little creepy that rodents are cheering for them to make out. I hope you guys don't do that to me. Ronan did the smart thing and hid in his room with headphones one. Johnny was making shadow puppets in the third floor common room when Raven showed up to flirt with him with the tried and true 'you're hot'.

Never heard that one before.

And we're over in town, now. At MCA, Atton was meditating until he got a call from home. Which could be a good or bad thing based on my calls from home. At the Arms Hotel, Mary trew a coffee pot at Gunther for staring at her. Which sounds extreme, but probably called for. Aeryn was keeping things very tidy at Freedom Arms due to being restless. And finally, Devil's Nest had Allie was looking up drink recipes on her phone when Bob checked in on her about last week. Something about wishes in there. I really should pay more attention to what's going on in town.

But that's all, folks. Stay safe.

This is Tony Stark and I'm not covered in glitter. It's a wonderful Saturday morning. Would be even better if I were surrounded by what I'm pretty sure are hungover squirrels. That... yeah, that puts a damper on things.

I'll just read these notes before I have to go get a rabies shot or something. Over at the school, The Living City went on a field trip to Gotham City, circa now to check out the hot spots. Business Sense discussed customer service before having Mara deal with a confused customer. See, this is why being a CEO is the bet. No customer service. I pay people to do it for me. Powers and Identities talked about appearance and perception with the teacher keeping all the attention on them for the lecture. The first activity had the students showing off things they normally keep under wraps. The second activity had them dicuss how those are percieved by other. Yeah, welcome to the world. The number of negative articles I've had written about me or my team would probably fill a room. I'd have to check with Pepper. She keep an eye on those for me. Anyway, the teachers did have a few students wait to talk to them. How Not To Die discussed the flying eels... wait, what did I miss?

*chittering*

...seriously, don't speak squirrel. I'll check the podcasts. The students talked about what they did during the attack and what they could do for the next one. Oh, and Obi-Wan had a nice office hour of silence and tea before Bob tried to surprise him with sticking his head through the door. It doesn't seem to have worked. Better luck next time.

In the dorms, Edward set up shop in a common room to watch... pirate mice. Anders stopped in to discuss pirate fashions and who would join pirate mice. Mara and Anders then stoke about who would become a pirate or at least dress like one. Hawkeye. That's my vote. It's all the purple. Cosette was asured by Edward that her baking wouldn't be a bother--probably for free baked good. Anders and Cosette talked about if their classes would help with her baking skills and as an antidote if she accidentally poisoned them all. Mara and Cosette went from cooking talents to space travel. Which I'm sure are connected somehow. Mara and Edward engaged in making fun of the pirate mice before the fact that this show was apparently religious came up. I just really hope Thor wasn't invovled in that. That's all I'm going to say.

Almost done here. In town, Dracula--we being serious here? Heh. I owe Clint five dollars. Anyway, Dracula was playing the guitar before Bob stopped in to listen. Bob does that a lot, doesn't he?

But that's all there is, folks. I'm in need of coffee number four of the day, so I'll see you all later.

You know, I listened to the podcasts and still wasn't expecting this. Squirrels. And rum. You could share that rum, you know. Grease the wheels to get things moving...

And now I'm talking to squirrels. I've hit a certain point in my life I never quite saw coming.

This is Tony Stark--the new and best one--here to bring you your news for the day. Try to contain your joy, folks. Over at the school there was a class on cakes where they all had to decorate a cake to represent themselves. You know, that sounds like something you'd do on a corporate retreat. I avoid those exercises whenever possible and so should you, kids. Mad Kings & Queens talked about crazies through history--wholesome. Very wholesome. Anyway, they introduced themselves and probably had fun with it all. And Thor--hey, Thor! If you're deigning to listen to the talking technology box, that is. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. He could fold me like a pretzel. And attractive pretzel, but still a pretzel. Anyway, he taught about modern myths. I certainly hope Cap made the list of them. 

In the dorms, Cassandra got to work on weight training. Flick--that's a real name? Alright then--told her she was uptight and negative. He's a ladykiller, our Flick. Kathy also showed up to catch up with Flick about how Isabelle's mom hates him. Ah, trouble in paradise. Been there. Cassandra was very interested in the yoga Kathy was doing before Kathy offered to teach her some.

Amy watched a documentary about writers when Travis arrived to ask about TV, finding religion, Austin strange, and her old high school. Trust me, no one needs to learn more about Texas. Not even Austin.

Over in town, the mayor was playing Sim City 2000. Well. I guess it has nostalgia value. At the Magic Box--oh yeah, magic--Elsa was reading up on ghosts. Which I don't want to deal with. So let's not. Anders stopped in to be upset about being a TA for someone without hands and to let Elsa know to keep an eye out for Cassandra. Who might be his ex. Who knows with kids these days? Over at Book Haven, Alana was reading romance novels when Hanna stopped in for Dusk and Barry Plodder. I can only hope Alana did her part to discourage the first series. Also, books on being an adult. Pretty sure step one is paying taxes. Or talking about taxes. I don't know. I have an accountant for that.

On the streets, Roland was playing Beach Boys and attracting cats. I can only think the innuendo that brings to mind because I'm a teacher now. But I'm thinking it really hard. At MHA, Atticus was taking down his Christmas decorations while Bob watched. And was deeply impressed by the amount and variety of cursing. I would be too if I hadn't lived with Thor for a while. But his are just adorable and quaint. Odin's Beard. Seriously. And finally, there is a date at the Sushi Station between Sia and Four. Go, Four. You dog, you. Though the discussion turned to roasted gremlin. Which. Moodkiller much? We need to work on your game, Four.

And that is all I have, folks. Try not to pine for me when I'm gone. Because, let's be honest, with this place's track record, another will show up the moment I leave.
