Sam: Hey, Fandom. Uh, good evening and all that. I feel like it's been a while.

Andy: For a lot of people it has been. Weird, weird, weekend.

Sam: Weird, bad weekend. Were you okay?

Andy: I woke up Saturday with two strangers in my room who yelled and flailed at me, and then locked myself in my room for the rest of the weekend.

Sam: Ouch. I'm sorry man, that sucks. You were probably saved from a lot of extra weirdness that way though.

Andy: Yeah. My life's weird enough normally, y'know?

Sam: Everyone's life is weird enough without weekends like the one we just had, I think.

Andy: Well yeah, but our lives are weirder than the average weird.

Sam: And still, this place finds a way to up the weird so we'll never forget things are strange. I know I could live without that, and I'm willing to bet half of these notes are about people who feel the same way.


School News

Sam: The Outdoor Fitness and Strategy class took part in a simulation involving unicorns and fairies where we had to ride the unicorns to catch the fairies. It was...something else. I don't even know how to describe it beyond that. After class, I got detention for missing class last week, but it was totally worth it, so I don't really mind.

Andy: Can't your stepmom write you a note?

Sam: She could, but I might just take the detention. I did skip class, so it's not like I didn't have it coming. Build Your Own Philosophy talked about the philosophies of parenting, although Dinah and Priestly were more interested in passing notes, and Dinah and Raven talked about the weekend and whether or not Andy is Raven's boyfriend. Andy? Would you like to weigh in on that?

Andy: Uh...

Sam: Sorry, that was kind of mean of me. I'll let you think and maybe we'll come back to that one. The World Mythology class turned in their homework, which I'm sure people were totally focused on all weekend, and then talked about Australian Aboriginal myths and what myths about dreams there might be in the students' own cultures.

Horror 101 talked, appropriately enough, about identities. Emma and Alex Karev were scowly at each other for some unknown reason, and after class, Kate asked Mitchell about his hat, but I think the squirrels got distracted so I don't know what that was about. You guys need to lay off the rum during the day, seriously.

The Japanese Etiquette class talked about the seriously complex way that people in Japan bathe. After class, Tyler stopped by to thank Mr. Algren for taking care of him this weekend while he was a baby - awww - and Kate apologized for missing class last week.

Cindy had office hours today, which she used to compare weekends with Mr. DeTamble. Ms. Pitt had the study hall open again today, and Angela Montenegro decided to use it as a place to avoid people. That was probably a very good idea, actually. Gabrielle was in the library for her weekly shift, and answered Mr. DeTamble's questions on how much she knew about Marc Antony.

And the Flight Club met today, so everyone could distract themselves from thinking about the weekend by riding speeder bikes or Viper Mark IIs. Leia apologized to Tahiri for trying to kill her, which is one example of why it probably wasn't a terrible thing to spend the weekend in your room, Ben was pouty at Tahiri about how she's leaving town for a few days, and Anakin had a chance to freak out at Leia about who she was this weekend. Um, I don't think people have much of a choice in the matter, so there's no reason to get mad at them for who they were.

Andy: Were you someone else?

Sam: Uh, yeah, I was.

Andy: Okaaaay, moving along...


Dorm News

Andy: Over in the dorms, Momoko woke up normal, or as normal as it gets around here, but had a really bad morning that may have involved tears, aw. And that seemed to be kind of a theme this morning. Zack and Ino woke up in the boiler room for the worst morning after torturing someone after -- and can I say that isn't a phrase I ever want to have to use -- morning after torture?

Sookie and Bobby woke up confused, and checked to make sure that Sookie didn't still have the rogue powers anymore. Jack Priest and Rose woke up together and Jack hoped that the people they were this weekend ended up together. Rose didn't think so though, and then she headed out for a run. Leia woke up in the abandoned shack, assured Ben she was herself, and again insisted she could never do what the person she was this weekend did.

Karla wasn't in the mood to do much of anything, Alice cuddled her kitten, and Zack's not great day was interrupted by a visit from Yei the kitty. Y'know cat therapy doesn't sound like a bad way of handling things.

Sam: Dog therapy works too, for the record.

Andy: Hayley was in her room with music on and an icepack on her eye, and George was in the preserve early to meet Kyle Reese for some knife fighting. Or you can handle things that way.

Jacob was back and sleepy, and he told Didi when she stopped by why his weekend sucked. Jaina celebrated being herself with work and a burger, and Leia came by to tell her about being a Sith for the weekend. Angela Montenegro apologized to Hannibal for not knowing who he was this weekend. And Ino paid a visit to Elena and then the squirrel here just goes on about getting his tail caught in the shutting door. Yeah, that's absolutely fascinating news.

Sam: I'm telling you, way too much rum during the day.

Andy: I refuse to spend time thinking about the drinking habits of rodents. Dinah found a note on her poster and Jaime tried to sneak away from the room before she saw him outside. Aravis was back from a trip and Ben came by to see how things went, and Effy stopped by to visit Alex Karev who had a bad weekend for non-Fandom weirdness reasons.

Arthur was in the salle, taking his weekend annoyance out on the practice dummies. He and Dinah agreed not to talk about the weekend and do drills instead, and Merlin showed up late because he had to clean himself up after the weekend.

Sam: And Raven was in the fifth floor common room watching the first new episode of Rumor Gal in weeks. Hoshi and Raven talked about the overabundance of blonde people on the show, and tried to figure out why they're the ones always getting into trouble. Raven taught Hurley not to talk to her except during commercials, but Hoshi didn't mind, which was probably good because Hurley didn't know anything about what had happened this weekend, so Hoshi got to fill him in. Dru talked to Hoshi about the weekend too, since this was Dru's first time dealing with something like this, and when Raven noticed that Dru was injured from the weekend, she healed her up. Jean peeked into the common room and talked to Dru about the weekend, since it was her first experience with this kind of thing too, and Raven invited her to come in and sit down while Hoshi filled her in on what she'd missed in the episode so far.


Town News

Sam: Rose went to the MCA this morning to find out why Dimitri wasn't at the gym for their training, and found Jessi leaving his place, which led to them fighting and her storming out. You know, with everything else going on today, having relationship issues to talk about almost makes for a nice break. Uh, not that I don't hope you guys work everything out, of course.

Out at the rocky bits, Priestly and Castiel woke up together, Priestly in a kimono, and Castiel in...nothing.

...Chuck, you'd better be listening tonight, and that's all I'm saying about that.

Andy: See, something like that the squirrels should be getting more detail on. But no...

Sam: True, but Castiel could probably smite them if they tried anything. Deadpool woke up and was back to being himself, and he had to admit to Mr. Summers that he might have slept with a hooker this weekend. Oops? Jack O'Neill was horrified to discover that although he was back to normal, his hair wasn't, and he still had a mullet. Drake was horrified that he'd been someone who tried to stand in the way of true love, and Ms. Cabot was just horrified by the weekend in general. She went to Mr. Gibbs house to confess that she might have slept with someone else, but he was insistent that this weekend never happened. I think that kind of logic is perfectly acceptable.

Ender was working in the back of Stark Industries today, but he came out to the front when Ben came by for his usual visit, armed with coffee and discomfort after the weekend.

Lacey was apparently away this weekend, or kept to herself, because she didn't know anything strange had happened until she talked to the staff at Luke's Diner. Angua came in for lunch, and she and Lacey were gleeful over the fact that they got to be fine while everyone else suffered. Gee, thanks ladies.

Tara and Kennedy went on a date to the onsen, where even in bathing suits they could be nice and warm. Illyria and Worf were possibly less warm - they woke up this morning tied to each other on the docks. At least that's just awkward, and not dangerous. You know, as long as neither one of them killed the other.

Makita was drinking at Pixie Dust, like you do when you spent a whole weekend embarrassing yourself, and Proto came in to check on her and bring her more vodka.

Liz was grateful to have been sane over the weekend, and was relaxing at The Arms Hotel, and Alex was doing the same kind of happy thing at The Magic Box. No offense, but I hate you both right now. Claudia was examining the aftermath of her weekend at Book Haven, Mirax had a sale going at Things Reborn so people could partake in retail therapy, Ashey was all alone for her shift at the Atlas Gym, and Oz had the Holiday Grove set up for International Women's Day.

The chickens were getting a lot more friendly with Dani at The Gig, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing. Kris came by to groom the horses, and she and Dani talked about the extra farm animals, and the weekend, of course.

Karla had her first day of work at Dite's Decadent Delights today. Aphrodite was there to make sure she didn't run into any trouble, and Ben stopped by to check on her too, managing to make it all the way inside the store.

Andy: It's very... pink in there.

Sam: Well, it's a sex store, that kind of goes with the territory. Uh, not that I've been in many of those stores, or like, any besides the one here. It just seems like an appropriate color. Sheriff Vimes was at the Trooper Station, keeping an eye on Hayley, who was still in her cell after being arrested. Oops? She explained that she hadn't meant to get into a fight, so he let her go after warning her to not get arrested again.

Ino was at the clinic for her shift, although she ended up as a patient after letting the nurses look at a head injury she'd gotten on Friday. And Adrian was at Caritas, gloating about the fact that he'd been normal all weekend. You suck too, bartender guy.

Dimitri was there to watch Adrian as usual, although after Rose checked with Adrian, he stepped outside for a minute to talk to her. Somehow, Adrian's gloating didn't get to Dimitri, and they ended up talking about Adrian's cat and Shelley being a rabbit at the moment instead. And Mr. Halpert came in wanting any kind of drink that didn't have peaches in it, thanks to the weekend. These weirdnesses bring out the strangest reactions in people sometimes.

Andy: Weird begets weird.

Sam: I guess so. And that looks like all the notes we've got, unless there's any more in your pile?

Andy: Nope. Just a picture of a squirrel getting their tail bandaged.

Sam: Heh. Well, then I guess we can let everyone get back to their repression and say good night, Fandom.
