Fandom Radio :: Friday, January 7th
Well, well, well. I have to say, being escorted from the local constabulary office by a batch of rowdy rodents wasn't how I planned to start the day, but now that I'm being given a soapbox of my very own, I can't really complain one bit. Not one bit at all.
Greetings, salutations, etcetera, etcetera. This is your new dread pirate of the airwaves, Captain James Hook. So turn off all your clocks, sit down, and if you really must, think some happy thoughts and let your minds take flight as I, well I suppose I'll be reading you all the lovely news that this fine crew of furry fellows have foraged and fashioned for our felicitious fathoming.
We begin, of course, with that home of academic enlightenment, the School.
In that home of tomes and codexes, the library christened two new aides in the form of Zatanna and Cassidy, both of whom were quite excited at their newfound professions. Henry offered them a tour and explained why there aren't spellbooks in the main collection. Probably because the dark arts are best saved for those adventurous enough to put in the effort to find the materials themselves. Go out, boys and girls, and brew yourselves a love potion. Best way to get through those awkward formative years.
In the classrooms, Ethics launched itself with a course heading of choosing between ladies or tigers. Whatever you do, don't choose the lady named Tiger. Blackagar and... Peter became sidetracked with thoughts about tiger-lady hybrids, which sound like something to be found in the wilds of Neverland. Quinn's reaction to the scenario involved starting rumors of the French Disease, while Dolf believes the only good response is overthrowing the government. Good lad. Rinoa and Katniss debated on the man in the story's intentions, before Blackagar declared he wouldn't father an inferior child. Well, there's a lovely sentiment for you.
Leia dropped by the Ethics classroom to wish her father Happy New Year, and they discussed the pleasantries of how they spent their holidays. Katniss did much the same, though she is not related to the teacher as far as I am aware.
Summer, that wonderful woman who is, as the phrase goes, my buddy, began her class on Myths and Legends of the Deep, which is a rather good subject, if you ask me. Jason watched fellow student Nico and the two apparently decided to whisper during the class lecture. Punishments should be doled out as appropriate, of course.
The Doctor, of what I am not aware, taught a class on Adventures, Capers, and Escapes. The emphasis the first day was preparation and proper footwear. Both very good tips. The class then discussed what one should always carry on them in case of adventure. The answer is a sword, a pistol, spare powder and shot, a canteen, and at least seven other pirates to walk into traps first.
[There is a brief interlude of nearly evil laughter]
Cara thought in the right direction, tellinng Chloe she wished to have her agiel, a knife. Bobby and Clark debated the usefulness of string, and Helen declared she carries a fennec Fox which delighted Ariel. Because what you need in a tight spot is another mouth to feed and an animal that doesn't have much meat on it. Ariel herself carries a bag, which means she knows rule number one about looting, if nothing else. And finally Charlie and Claudia came to quite a consensus on the activity, themselves.
Jane Porter taught the first session of a class on primates, which she started by imitating a monkey. Blysse was clever enough to interpret the greeting properly, that's a good girl, as it was a way of preventing fights. Never fought a monkey, myself. Though some of those ragamuffin ruffians had about as much class as a monkey.
Nation Building, under the guiding hand of Alex Cabot, had its first meeting yesterday as well. The students are all running artificial nations, and they began by setting priorities and giving their backgrounds.
Then, in their respective offices, Kerrigan held an audience with Charlie about some various words ending in 'nesis, Fraser worked on his lesson plan, and that colorful caretaker of class and charm Kūkaku smoked a pipe.
So ends the new of academics, and I now have notes of goings-on in the Dorms.
Karla delighted herself in domestic matters, before she was interrupted by Sookie who marveled that Karla wasn't taking advantage of her Craft to clean. I don't know what that means, but I hope you folks at home have a better understanding. Karla also received a call from a Hayley, who wants to join the circus. A terrible lifestyle choice, really. Ever considered piracy? It's a blossoming market, here on the island. And finally Karla informed her friend Emma that the pants rule had been broken. That is cryptic, and possibly obscene. I'm too old to be reading about that, I think.
Percy suffered a headache in his room, which was helped when like a good pirate on a long, lonely night, Luke offered the comfort of friendly arms. Kate, on the other hand, spent her time in her room dressed like a Valkyrie and chatting on something called the internet, though she also received a distressing call from her mother. There are no notes indicating if the poor girl is completely mad, or actually a Valkyrie.
Cara enjoyed the company of literature, until Clark came to visit her. Sov examined the phone in his room, until Hank attempted to teach him the joys of air guitar. Hank, my dear lad, if your guitar is made of air some salesman made a fool of you. Sov also enjoyed a visit from a Tony, who marveled that they lived on the same floor. Caroline perfected her voice-mail message, until Nathan came by to... Really, lad? You offered to show her your Long John Silver? Bad form, Nathan. Very bad form.
In the third floor common room, the boy with the worst Christian name in the world was practicing a card game. Ramona Flowers questioned the point of Peter's antics, Lindsay questioned Peter's intentions, Alex Russo wished to learn more about Peter's game, and Dru took some of Peter's food and asked him if he did this often.
The lesson here, boys and girls, is never trust anyone named Peter.
Which now brings us to matters of The Town.
Max received a visit at his home from Raven, who apologized before she 'freaked out', whatever that is supposed to mean. Also in apologies, Charlie McGee apologized to a grave yesterday morning. In my experience you have nothing to be sorry for when it comes to the dead.
In the local establishments of economic excess, Helen worked at The Gig, Millie sought new employees at Book Haven, Cally was painting a vinyl figure until Dolf visited with lemonade and they were, I assume, adorable young lovers if you find that sort of thing adorable.
The nurses avoided Scully at the clinic, Lindsay stocked Nast Sporting Goods, Ellie tried not to sleep at the Hotel, and Faith cleaned up Things Reborn. Faith had a customer in the form of a boy named Wesley. At the Magic Box, Tara worked and burned incense until Tahiri came in, searching for a crystal for her... lightsaber.
At the local constabulary office, Casheriff Vimes worked as dilligently as any legal busybody can, until a bizarre man named Shunsui arrived to bail out my fellow inmate Kūkaku. Myself, I was a model prisoner, as even thought I was falsely imprisoned I am nothing but a paragon of good form in the face of unfortunate circumstances.
Finally, last night the local watering hole's proprietor shopped on the internet, I'm really going to have to learn what that is, until Jaina came to ask him questions about what he was doing.
And that, boys and girls, is all the news that was fit to be found out by my furry friends. A good crew, I shall have to reward them accordingly. And with that, I bid you all adieu, and look forward to seeing my students in my first class today.
