Kanan: Hey, Fandom! It's been a while since I've been in here, but it looks like the squirrels have finally relented and let me have the station to myself for a broadcast again. About time. Not that I don't like that Sparkle gu--

Sparkle: Hey! Didja miss me?

Kanan: ...

Sparkle: Sorry I'm late. I had to rescue the squirrels from this.

*WHUMP*

Kanan: ... That stack of papers isn't the notes.

Sparkle: You don't know hilarity until you've seen a dozen squirrels trying to haul something like this up a set of stairs in a little red wagon. I don't know where they got that wagon, but you have to admire their tenacity.

Kanan: ... They could've just asked-- No, nevermind. Let's get to this, then. I have a dog to walk.

Sure thing! )

Hey, Fandom! I hope you're resting up, you all deserve it. Yes. All of you. This is Kanan Jarrus, and I've got notes from my favorite radio day of the year; the one where I feel like I'm intruding on something personal whenever I read about people's coping methods.

So, let's get this over with. There was nothing in the school yesterday, but in the dorms, Nina was huddled up in bed when Vette got home and offered her some comfort. Prompto swung by too, but Vette intercepted him at the door. Sabine was doing some angry drawing in her room when Astrid called to touch base about the week.

In town, Tony was taking it easy at home when Steve came back from a run and there was coffee. Skywalker did some texting from the clinic, which you all know since I'm pretty sure everybody got those texts, and he got a call from Aeryn and a visit from me to make sure he was alive and as well as can be expected when you're used as a human kriffing battery.

Owen woke up a little dis-shelved -- is that the word you meant to use?

*chittering*

Alright then. Owen woke up both dis-shelved and dishevelled at the Bookbelt. Sparkle was chain smoking at Demon Marcus after reading yesterday's broadcast, which explains why he's not in here today, I suppose. I had pancake specials for the traumatized at Luke's yesterday, which both Rey and Summer took me up on. Rey was patching up some toys for donation over at Stark's when Steve stopped by to check up on her and talk a little about their trip to the underground. And, last but not least, Atton caught up on the week's events via podcast over at Caritas, and is reasonably certain that the island is on drugs.

There's probably a club for that.

And that's all the notes, so I'm out of here. Until next time, Fandom.

Happy morning, Island! This is your friend and neighbor, Kanan Jarrus, here to read you all the interesting tidbits of news from yesterday, where all the good little toys worked hard to keep everybody happy!

All of them!

Like Lana, who was reading some happy books at the library so that none of them felt left out! But oh, tut-tut, it looks like she met up with Norman on the Causeway after her shift and they left! Now, what kind of behavior is that for a pair of good toys?

It looks like Sparkle was much more in the spirit of things at his clothing shop, with raingear with cute animals on it! Good job, Sparkle! Keep it happy! Everybody was playing with Stance during my shift at Luke's, even Summer, who asked me to do a little bit of tinker-toy work on her ship! Oh, and I got to meet Regina too! She said I'm welcome to bring my dog to work, and then we talked a little bit about this great island! And finally, Rey was hard at work at Stark Industries, getting herself familiar with the place after coming back to us! Welcome back, Rey!

And it looks like that's all the notes we've got, so I'm going to go teach my class, now! Have a happy day, Fandom!

Sparkle: Faaaandom, good mooorning! Guess what! Fandom let me keep my--

Kanan: *Shuts the door behind him* -- Are you still in that --

Sparkle: ONESIE! I mean, the tail thingy doesn't do the thingy anymore so I had to walk here. But check this out! *Unzip, zip, unzip, zip* IT HAS A ZIPPER NOW.

Kanan: ... Why aren't you wearing anything under that?

Sparkle: Dude, it's still like August out there.

Kanan: Ah. My bad. Do we have notes?

Sparkle: We have notes! Like how Lana was piiiiiisssed that she couldn't read the books at the library, so she was doing lightsaber forms during her shift instead.

Kanan: That's fair. Sparkle here was selling leaves at the Demon Marcus during his shift--

Sparkle: I bought like three just to see what would happen today. Still leaves, just the boring kind. Fandom doesn't like me that much. Kanan was sending angry emails to gnomes from over at Luke's--

Kanan: They really have terrible customer service. At the Bookbelt, Owen had music playing while he worked. Is it that same number I kept hearing around the island all week?

*Chitter*

Kanan: Ah, yes. But louder.

Sparkle: And at Caritas, Atton set one foot into the place and all the weird retreated. ATTON. MAN. WHY. That was the best!

Kanan: You're a strange man, Sparkle.

Sparkle: Thank you, Kanan. Hey, any idea what the weird this week is yet?

Kanan: Not yet, but I'm sure we'll all be properly horrified when we find out. Until next week, Fandom, stay safe. Kanan -

Sparkle: - And Sparkle! -

Kanan: Out.

Kanan: Please don't.

Sparkle: Oh. My. GOD.

Kanan: Really, now.

Sparkle: Omigawd.

Kanan: Sigh.

Sparkle: HOW DO I GET A RACCOON ONESIE LIKE THAT.

Kanan: You punch a brick and touch the leaf that comes out.

Sparkle: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Kanan: The tail lets you fly.

Sparkle: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Kanan: Right. While Sparkle screams himself hoarse, I've got a small handful of notes this week. In the park, Promptia was taking pictures of some interesting flora that had popped up. Sparkle was more or less in for a normal day except that he was a she -

Sparkle: More or less normal day, I was still into show tunes.

Kanan: - Right. At the Demon Marcus. And at Luke's I sent a text before Summer came in and we compared notes on the weirdness. And that's the news.

Sparkle: The real news though is that Kanan is dressed up like a flying raccoon and you all need to get a chance to see this before he takes this costume off.

Kanan: Can we not.

Sparkle: Don't worry, the broadcast is over and I need to go punch floating blocks like RIGHT NOW.

Kanan: This... this is a weird one today, folks. I can tell you that one right now.

Sparkle: I'd ask how you could tell, but I fell into a pocket dimension or something on my way here and wound up having tea with a friendly giant. And this isn't even the first time that's happened. I swear if at any point I wake up naked on an alien spaceship, though...

Kanan: Wait, what?

Sparkle: Missed that one, huh?

Kanan: ... Apparently. Anyway, the squirrels gave us notes. Let's see what people were up to yesterday, and then we can get back to our tea parties or whatever.

Sparkle: Sure. So, in the dorms, Prompto was getting over some kind of gunk in one of the common rooms, watching old western films. Sure, those are fine.

Kanan: Westerns?

Sparkle: You know, like... nerf herders and gunslingers. You'd like them.

Kanan: ... I probably would, actually. Yeah. In town, we had Owen humming and making busy work at the Bookbelt, Sparkle here dying of heat exhaustion at Demon Marcus--

Sparkle: It was so gross.

Kanan: Well, maybe the next rift you trip into will have air conditioning.

Sparkle: ... You know I'm gonna go looking for one like that, now. At Lukes, the staff were hiding in the freezer for Kanan's shift, at least until Summer stopped by and put them to work with a pancake milkshake while she talked to Kanan about students turning into animals, and... baked bananas and ham with hollandai-- oh god that's nasty what.

Kanan: She says when she makes it for me, she'll make it using both homemade sauce and sauce from a packet.

Sparkle: WHY. I'll eat anything but sometimes you have to not put hollandaise sauce on the banana.

Kanan: Well, I guess I'm going to find that out. Looks like Atton had his job all figured out yesterday at Caritas when he made do-it-yourself cocktails the special of the night. Which probably freed up his time to text Sia about people's frustrations.

Sparkle: Hahahaa, tell me about it. I'll take the rifts and the dubious uncertainty that I might've been kidnapped by aliens again, god. Anyway, that's the notes!

Kanan: And that's all for us this week, Fandom. Until next time... enjoy your random tea parties with giants, I guess?

Fandom, hey! Looks like a normal one out there this week, and feels like it actually ought to, so I'm going to go out on a limb today and say that any weirdness you might get this week is going to be about as comparatively harmless as the talking animals were.

But no, sadly, my dog didn't say 'good morning' today, so you're stuck with me. This is Kanan Jarrus, and these are yesterday's notes.

Starting of course, with the library, where Lana was reshelving books. The note assures me that this is different from the norm mostly because the books were being needy.

Jack and Kaidan made their way back from... from across the Causeway, and apparently they were both kind of out of it. Note to self: Check in on Jack and Kaidan. It was pretty much a normal day for my shift at Luke's, though Summer did pay me a visit to tell me about the cheese bear at T&C, and at The Bookbelt, Owen was fast asleep.

Hopefully people will be able to sleep easier this week, anyway. Go on, splash around the Onsen, go for a walk in the park, whatever it is you do. I don't have a bad feeling about this one. Until next week, folks.

Kanan: Hey, look, I actually set out to go somewhere and got there, today.

Sparkle: Me too!

Kanan: ... You're really committed to this, aren't you?

Sparkle: At least until I freak the hell out and flee to Baltimore until the island stops being homicidal, sure.

Kanan: Well, that shouldn't take long.

Sparkle: What, the island not being homicidal?

Kanan: No, the other one. I have--

Sparkle: A bad fee--

Kanan: Don't even.

Sparkle: Heee.

Kanan: Anyway, there aren't many notes today, so let's make this quick. I'm pretty sure this week I'm going to have to teach my students how to arm up.

Sparkle: That bad, huh?

Kanan: Undoubtedly so.

Sparkle: Crap. Okay. Uh. I was at the apartment because there's no way I was going to get myself lost on the island in that maze and I was singing Baby Shark doo doo doo--

Kanan: Very nice. Looks like you did some texting with Hernando about mazes and knives and escape plans, and I'm seriously starting to wonder about the squirrels' ability to get in and read that much.

Sparkle: I'm seriously picturing one suspended from the ceiling by a rope or something. Maybe wearing night vision goggles.

Kanan: To read a text?

Sparkle: Well, it'd look cool. Anyway, Atton found his way home with Mooby's and I totally schooled him about Vaudeville and Heavy Metal.

Kanan: I don't know what either of those things are. Anyway, it looks like someone did find their way in to work, so props to you, Owen, you managed to accomplish what basically nobody else did this weekend. And that's all the notes, so...

Sparkle: Stay safe?

Kanan: I'm not sure if people can.

Sparkle: ... Well, that's not ominous.

Kanan: Arm up or find somewhere to hole up. Don't go out alone. And, yeah, stay safe, Fandom.

Kanan: So, we're not trusting this, right?

Sparkle: We are super not trusting this. This is not to be trusted. Man, a bush laughed at me on my way in to hijack your radio slot again and that shit is not on.

Kanan: And so there we have it. This week's Onsen Party Barometer says, "Don't trust this." Anyway, I--

Sparkle: --Have a bad feeling?

Kanan: ... Shut up.

Sparkle: Heeee.

Kanan: Why did you decide to pick today, anyway? Why all of a sudden do you want to steal the broadcast again?

Sparkle: Because I wanted to say Happy Canada Day to like the two Canadians on the island. Happy Canada Day! Don't trust the laughing bushes.

Fair enough. )

Good morning, Fandom. If you're not quite awake yet, this is Kanan Jarrus here to make an early morning suggestion that you take a moment to look around wherever you're waking up, to really process the state of literally everything here. Okay, now look at your hands. Yes, they're gray. But since I didn't wake up with bad feelings so strong I wanted to crawl into my own skull and die there, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they're gray because everything is, and not because you're sick.

There you go, now I do public service announcements for free. Get yourself some coffee or whatever. This seems like it's going to be our off week.

Anyway, the squirrels gave me... two notes. Presumably because half of them were creepy human-faced monsters - Leroy looks entirely too proud of himself for that - and the other half didn't want to get eaten by creepy human-faced monsters. It's all in town yesterday, where Sparkle was crazy enough to go to Demon Marcus in order to unload a new shipment of rainbow stock. Have fun with that this week, I guess? And he had time in there to ask Dr. Lecter to kick his husband in the shin over the phone. And then Atton was at Caritas, with free drinks for anyone who wasn't a monster.

No takers.

Yeah, the island really was that bad last week. If you're one of the people who was infected... take some you-time to recover. Order Chinese delivery and watch cartoons. It's a week off, spend it taking it easy. You deserve it. And now I'm going to go walk my dog, who looks extra weird covered in black spots. Summer, if you're listening, your cat is fine. Kanan, out.

[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Fandom. Uh. Hey, Fandom. This is Kanan Jarrus, and things look more or less normal out there. I think? It's hard to tell, I'm still getting over the last place, maybe.

... Anyway, there are notes. Lana was scolding aggressive books in the library. See, island, these trips are corrupting the... literature... I guess.

Atton went to spend some time in his ship. Don't much blame him, last week would've been a good one to just not be on this planet for a while. Octavia was working out some anxiety on her drum set, too. At least she had Liam to bring her soup, though.

At the Bookbelt, Owen was making the best of the situation with his 'dusting rag of wonder,' which of course he had to explain to Nina before they got talking about the island's constant changes and their respective takes on them. At Luke's I was once again babysitting the staff, and got to explain what the 'on a plate' part of the specials board meant to Summer, who also wanted to chat about her birthday, and Sabine, who I talked to about my upcoming class and basic survival from week to week. And, at Caritas, Atton had a concussion and a distraction by way of doing some texting with Sia, and I've just stopped asking how close the squirrels had to get in order to know that, I just have to assume they have tiny macrobinoculars or something by this point.

And that's all the notes, so I guess... go enjoy the normal for a bit? I think?

Sorry, little distracted, maybe it's just that I haven't had my caf yet...

Fandom. Before I even start my broadcast today, I'm going to preface it with: Be careful. If you're not a fighter, don't go outside if you can help it. Keep your doors locked. If you are a fighter, watch your back. I'm re-adjusting my definition of 'hell' to 'wherever it is we are right now' after just my walk to the station.

This is not going to be a fun time for a lot of you.

So. Now, the news, which I'm not so sure is going to seem nearly as important as avoiding being ripped open by mutated murder junkies, but Monday's Monday, I guess. I'll keep it short. Lana had a quiet day in the library yesterday.

Over in the MCA, Bucky was back in his apartment after some time away. You picked maybe not a great time for that, sorry about the everything out there. There was no nerf left at Luke's yesterday, but Summer did stop by to visit Stance and to talk to me about her upcoming birthday. Jonothon had a singalong time with his cat for a while before just... kind of zoning out? The note says it was very intent zoning out, so he was probably talking to somebody somewhere. Owen was in a good mood for his shift at the Bookbelt. I, uh, I hope that holds up for you, there. And Atton was doing cocktails at Caritas, which led to a chat with Octavia about what exactly makes a cocktail a cocktail.

And that's all the notes, so... I'm going to go figure out what to do about class. I miss my talking dog.

Stay careful out there, Fandom. This one comes with a lot of bad feelings. Kanan out.

Kanan: Good morning, Fandom! This is Kanan Jarrus, and the island is finally--

Stance: Hi! Oh, hi! Hi, everybody! I got to go for a walk this morning! And it's all warm and not full of bitey things and there aren't any big mean tooth-fishes out and I have a stick!

Kanan: --finally mostly normal, so enjoy it while you can. Want to introduce yourself, buddy?

Stance: I'm Stance and I'm a good good boy, my daddy says so!

Kanan: *coughs* Stance is helping me with the broadcast today because, as it turns out, Leroy's got a pretty foul mouth when he's been drinking. Which is all the time.

Stance: The squirrels all smell like rum and it makes my nose itchy!

Kanan: Fortunately, there aren't many notes here today, so we'll read those and then get you out of here, okay? I have a class to teach today, we can go look for sticks.

Stance: Sticks!!

Kanan: Sticks. But first, notes. Starting with Lana--

Stance: LANA HI!

Kanan: ... I'm sure she says hi back, buddy. But yesterday, she was tuning up her lightsaber in the library while the books did their things.

Stance: What are book things?

Kanan: Hiding, mostly.

Stance: Oh. I guess that's fun. What else was there?

Kanan: Well, I was at Luke's, which still somehow had pancakes, when Summer--

Stance: OH! SUMMER! SUMMER HI SUMMER!

Kanan: I'm sure she says hi back, too. But yesterday she stopped by to tell me about her cat's third tail.

Stance: ... Her cat is so lucky. I only have one to chase.

Kanan: And it's a good tail, too. Owen--

Stance: I don't know you but HI OWEN!

Kanan: --was at the Bookbelt wondering about the glowing mushrooms when Prompto-

Stance: HI HI HI!

Kanan: --stopped by to check up on him and explain that this is kind of excessive weirdness, even for this place. And finally, at Caritas, we had Atton--

Stance: HI I LIKE YOU TOO!

Kanan: You don't even know the guy.

Stance: But I bet he's super nice!

Kanan: ... Eeehhhh. Anyway, Atton had mixed drinks, featuring Nuka-Cola, which I will be glad to never, ever drink again.

Stance: But what about everybody else? Don't I get to say hi to everybody else?

Kanan: You can say hi to them all at once. And then bye, the broadcast is done now, buddy.

Stance: Oh! Hi everybody at once! And bye! I'm gonna go look for sticks now!

So. Uh. Fandom? Hey. This is Kanan Jarrus, and you might or might not have noticed that the water's gone. So, there's the good news for you.

The bad news is that I was attacked by a seven-foot-tall scorpion while I was taking my dog for a walk, so you might want to consider traveling with a weapon. Or a small army. At least for this week. The island seems to be making this a weekly thing.

The squirrels seem to be a little skittish today - apparently a few of them almost became a tasty snack this morning - but they did bring me the notes, so I guess I'll acknowledge their bravery and read them, hm?

Over at the school - I'm afraid to see what's happened to the school, I noticed the wall there - Lana had some swimming books in the library. Which, for the record, was dry, but that didn't stop the books from trying to brush up on their backstroke on the floor, I guess.

Wayne was on the deck in the dorms, just enjoying a lazy afternoon with a coffee and a smoke. I get the feeling that this week might not be so great for that.

In town, Seivarden turned back from being a cat, and was... well, not promptly shooed out by Amaya, but it might have been strongly hinted at that her welcome had grown at least a little bit stale. Politely. Owen, meanwhile, was a little bit stymied by all the water at the Bookbelt, but fortunately Nina was there for a second week in a row to show him how to get in for his shift.

And that's all the notes the squirrels swam to write, or all the notes that survived the water damage, or maybe all the notes the squirrels weren't eaten before they could deliver, I'm not sure which, so I'm going to... just go and try to figure out where I'm holding my class today, I guess.

Wish me luck, Fandom. And remember. Weapons and the buddy system, okay?
uncertain_dume: (Default)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
So, if I ask if Seivarden is still a cat today, are you going to tell me it's actually Monday?

*Chittering*

Good. Okay, then let's do this. Hey, Fandom, this is Kanan Jarrus, here for an actual Saturday broadcast, since your usual Saturday broadcaster is otherwise occupied. I'm being handed a soggy pad of notes, so I'll just cut to the chase today, shall I? A bit like the students of Fandom Gladiators did over at the school, as Rosa set her dog loose for students to try to catch. Long Con covered a bit of the history of the Confidence Man, and then had students chat to one another to try to gain one another's trust, and Gadget Abuse was playing the 'will it blend' game, yesterday.

In town, I was on the roof of my otherwise flooded warehouse - sigh - when I got my weekly phone call from Rey, who might be starting to worry I'm losing my mind, here. Liam did a bit of research about these scenery shifts to a chorus of singing frogs at the Trooper Station, Ben had random watermelons at Stark Industries, and Sidon was spending some quality time with the aquatic creatures over at the Furricane Animal Shelter. Finally, at Caritas, Fjord had a bit of a tough squeeze to get in for his shift, and he and Amaya mulled over how to get out again before conversation turned to the extent of the flood damage and what they're going to have to do about it once the water subsides.

... I don't even want to think about it.

Anyway, that's all the notes, so I guess I'll talk to you all again on Monday. Probably. Hang in there, Fandom.

Good morning, Fandom. Uh. Don't look now, but the island's done something different with her hair today. Actually, if you're near a window, go look, just take a minute, look outside. I'll wait.

*Hold music plays*

So. Happy Monday, I guess. My dog is a lizard today, but otherwise he seems pretty much the same, and the walk here to the station was fairly uneventful. Hell, I even still have notes and the squirrels are still pushy. So I'm going to do my broadcast, and then I'm going to go teach impressionable young minds about simplicity. Somehow.

We'll start with school, as usual, where Lana was in the library helping the books stack themselves into book castles. Because they wanted to be.

In town, I was keeping the cook on the path of the pancake at Luke's, and I did a little texting with Summer about pancakes, too. Both the food, and her cat. Sparkle was finally making some headway on figuring out where his order went at Demon Marcus, Jonothon had a 'now hiring' sign at the Groovy Tunes, if you're looking for a job. Just make sure you get a key if you do. Apparently Owen didn't have one for his first day on shift at the bookstore, and so he had to wait for rescue from Nina. And at Caritas, Atton was dodging calls from home, which was fine, since it meant he got to play the 'what color drink to serve to Sia' game, instead of... whatever it was Mical wants him to do.

And that's the news.

The absolutely riveting news that I'm sure you all listened to instead of actually just staying at your window, gaping at the flock of reptavians that just flew by or the carnivorous reptiles they have pulling the rickshaws, right?

Yeah, I figured. Kanan out.
uncertain_dume: (Little Smirk)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Good morning again, Fandom. Two days in a row now, I might start to think the squirrels felt bad for replacing me with that other guy. Unless he's sick or something. In which case, I'm not sure how I feel about being the convenient second choice.

*Chittering*

Well, whatever it is, there are notes, and so I'm here to read them. Over in the library, Lana was putting out a display of books that might prove useful to newcomers to this island, world, geological era... whatever the case might be.

The dorms were quiet - I appreciate when the dorms are quiet - and so we'll move on into the gossip around town. Hera had the scrapyard open in case anybody wanted spaceship parking, and yes, that is a thing here, or a job. Also a thing here. Probably less unusual to some. Breq stopped by to ask about crashing in one of the rooms on Hera's ship, and so Hera laid down the basic ground rules - basically, don't poke the droid. There was a pancake bar yesterday during my shift at Luke's, which I'm kind of hoping they do every Sunday from now on, if only so I can pay for a plate at the start of the day and just keep sneaking berries through my shift. Summer stopped by to chat about my upcoming wedding to Cade, and no, I don't think we need anything for the kitchen. Seivarden came in for tea, pancakes, and possibly some conversation, and Jack stole my caf, thinking it was coffee.

Folks, it was not coffee.

Sparkle was trying to figure out where his order went at the Demon Marcus when Delirium stopped by looking for zombies- Sparkle gave her directions to Caritas. Nina came in looking for clothes, and she and Sparkle spent a while musing about the fundamental differences between chartreuse and puce and whether people should ever wear either of those things. At Caritas, Atton got to deal with an 'ask about our newbie deals' sign when Delirium stopped by and did just that, sort of, before wandering off to find the zombies.

And that's the news, or what passes for it around here anyway. Have a good week, Fandom. Enjoy all of the introducing yourselves you're about to be doing, students. And until next time the squirrels are desperate enough to drag me in to the station, Kanan out.

[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Twice in one week? Either you guys missed me, or you're feeling desperate.

*Chittering*

... Well, thanks. Give me those notes. I have places to be.

*Chitter?*

Places like 'home in bed,' yes. Hello, Fandom. This is Kanan Jarrus, occasional radio broadcaster, here with some notes the squirrels kicked me out of bed to read. We'll actually start with school, something I don't generally get to read much about, where in A New You Fjord arranged for - and none of these words make sense to me - a TPK using a kraken. I'm sure someone else out there will be suitably impressed. It was final exam day in Miguel's Science class, which meant... pitting droids against one another in a battle to the death? There's a guy named Jabba back in my galaxy who would be all over that. And The Art of Honesty ended, appropriately, with a deception, in what is possibly the most ingenious use of the Danger Shop yet.

In town, Dr. Lecter had his counseling services open in case anybody was that torn up over the weekend. Astrid's last day at Covent Garden involved sketching the flowers. Zack was at Furnado getting to know all the new animals when Miguel came in, presumably not to battle the animals to the death too. Norman was doing some texting at the Magic Box, Éponine's shift saw the Post Office giving out coffee cards and vouchers for warm cuddly things at the Isle of IKEA, and at Caritas, the specials Kitty got to work with were discounted drinks and even more heavily discounted hugs. I swung by to chat about our respective kids and collect on that hug discount, and Miguel, you'll be pleased to know, probably didn't battle any kids to the death over the weekend. Even if his was apparently annoying.

And that's all the notes, so I'm going... probably to walk the dog. I'm never getting back to sleep now. Jarrus out.

Hello, Fandom. This is Kanan Jarrus, broadcasting to you from what might be the most beautiful part of this planet, because Seivarden doesn't currently have vocal cords capable of producing Basic. Not that I'm bitter about being the last minute last resort, but sure, guys. Thanks. Give me the notes.

Which, from here on, all take place in Iceland, so that's good, I guess. In the morning, Hannibal took in the coffee at the hotel, all the better for yet another bus ride. Though at least Sabine seemed to be enjoying the trip in to Dalvik. I did some meditating and send some whale watching photos and videos to Rey, Sidon seemed to have mixed feelings about the whale watching, and Keyleth went swimming. As a polar bear.

Hey, first polar bear on the trip! Congrats, Keyleth. You just accidentally validated a bar conversation I had last week.

In Bifrost, people took in the cafe or went riding horses, though Dr. Lecter was more interesting in talking Jon out of bringing home souvenirs. Steve and Tony were getting pictures, Amaya enjoyed the cafe, Kitty introduced Lexi to the horses - the Lexi verdict is that horses are pretty great - and Prompto absolutely went horseback riding.

And then there were more waterfalls, which meant Astrid was sketching and Beaker was stressing out the chaperones again. Well. Peebee and Sabine were spectating and Dr. Lecter seemed to have given up on caring, but Miguel attempted to reason with the kid.

... Good luck, Miguel.

In the evening it was back to Reykjavik, where Summer lamented drinking ages and she and Hera talked about going to the pub crawl together as non-drinkers. Sorry I tapped out on that, ladies. It would not have been a great time for me. Anyway, there was in fact a pub crawl, instigated by Rosa, who explained the meaning of the phrase 'Baby Linetti' to Miguel and who was absolutely going to get Amaya to spill the mystery of the axe at some point during the night. Skywalker and Miguel bonded over 'why, Beaker, why,' Rosa and Skywalker thought of all the ways the students could have done something horrible on the trip - it isn't too late, kids, we still have half a day - and Skywalker exchanged awkward greetings with Dee. As you do, I guess, with your roommate at a pub crawl.

Elsewhere, and really, I probably should have followed his lead last night, Kaidan was taking a quiet walk through the town and down by the thermal beach.

And that's all the notes the squirrels wrote, so this is Kanan, the squirrels' second choice in Saturday radio hosts, signing off. There's still time to try to steal a reindeer to really give Skywalker a headache, after all...

Sparkle: Aha! I knew you guys couldn't resist the urge to drag me here forever. One time covering for someone and now you're all hooked again, right?

*Chittering*

Sparkle: Yeah, I missed you too, now pour me a glass of that stuff and let's get this broadcast on the--

-- supppose any of you guys know what this is? It was at my door this morning.

*Long silence, and then squirrelly, chittery laughter that leads into desperate rodenty wheezing*

... Yeah, I'm going to Google that at the end of the broadcast. And we're on the air. Good morning, Fandom, and happy Christmas Eve. I hope you're all ready for the holiday, I know the storm and the killer snow people might have thrown a wrench in your plans there, but the important thing is that we all made it out in one piece. I guess. Unless there's someone who did who you don't particularly like, in which case I'm sorry for your misfortune.

Anyway, I have notes, because Christmas Eve is also Monday and squirrels don't believe in pre-recorded broadcasts. Nothing happened at the school or in the dorms, because it's break and presumably the squirrels picked up a sense of decency yesterday. Or laziness. But in town, Sparkle found himself with a mountain of snow at the Demon Marcus, but got a timely rescue from Kaidan, who came with fire and a request for his regularly scheduled nail painting. Lana showed up too, bearing a gift to thank Sparkle for being so helpful when she was new to the island. Jono was having a productive day at the Groovy Tunes yesterday, with the exception of the stereo apparently having a fixation on a song about reindeer and the elderly. Life was back to normal at Luke's yesterday too, with three different kinds of festive pancake on the specials board, which Summer ordered one of each of after we did a little catching up on how the invasion went for us.

At her warehouse, Sabine was doing some painting to commemorate the defeat of the snow monsters. And out in the woods somewhere, Fenris was doing some hunting.

And that's all the notes, folks, so bear with me for a moment while I Google what this weird gift was--

*A brief pause. And then a bark of a laugh* Oh, that's just-- *And then chuckling for a few more seconds before the broadcast switches to Christmas songs.*

Good morning again, Fandom. Kanan here with the creepiest droid I have ever seen - it looks like a deer and it just keeps turning its head to look at me - and a small handful of notes. I'm going to pay attention to the notes, because if I don't I'll be staring at the deer.

So, we've got the school first, where Lana was sitting in the library with books in her lap when Sidon stopped in to make a return.

In the dorms, in the first cloor girls' bathroom - really, squirrels?

*Chittering*

Sometimes I just can't believe you guys. Okay, in the first floor bathroom, Sabine was giving her hair a new dye job. Which I'll admit is a less worrying note than I was afraid of. Still, let's move on to town.

In the park, Rosa was taking her dog out for a walk while the island was blissfully devoid of anything new and festive she could get into. The staff at Luke's was distracted during my shift, probably by the same thing Summer wanted a distraction from, so while she ate pancakes, I cooked up plans for a shopping trip. Bob was dealing with zooming books at the Magic Box, Sparkle had mannequins and a cuddly Hernando to talk to about their respective trips offworld over at Demon Marcus, and everything was pretty normal for Jono over at the Groovy Tunes. And finally, at Caritas, Atton couldn't get Tino to turn off the holiday movies, but he did do some texting with Sia.

Yeah, I'm starting to worry about how you guys manage to get so close to people's phones. Unless you've got tiny squirrel tactical gear stashed away somewhere. Do they make macrobinoculars in squirrel sizes?

Okay, I'm getting out of here before that deer starts doing anything more than stare. Until next time, Fandom.

Good morning, Fandom! I'm going to preface this broadcast by suggesting that if you haven't stepped into the shower yet today, you might want to just run the water for a minute before deciding whether or not you want to. Friendly advice to you from your Monday morning radio host.

Who was absolutely not awake enough to look before getting into the shower. And this is why Earth needs sonics. I'm just saying I'm going to start making my way to the Ghost to use Hera's 'fresher in the mornings from now on, thanks Fandom.

Anyway, here's the news. Looks like it was all town yesterday, with Sparkle accidentally letting a teal reindeer in to browse the clearance items at Demon Marcus and Fenris letting a decorated kitten outside to browse the teal reindeer at Covent Garden. At Luke's, the kitchen staff thought it was being funny with a specials board consisting entirely of venison - Summer wasn't impressed either, but stuck around for pancakes just so long as they had nothing to do with deer. And finally, at the Perk, Sabine was doing some people-watching when Prompto came in, and they had a chat about reindeer, holidays, and... soccer moms?

*Rustling*

... Yeah, that's what the note says, and that's where my notes end for the day, so I guess that's that. Take care of yourselves, Fandom. And maybe consider skipping the shower today. Until next week, this is Kanan, and I'm signing off.

Fandom, hey, it's Kanan again, here with all the news the squirrels are using to feed their drinking habit with.

I'd complain that I'm not getting paid for this, but wages here are paid in acorns and rum.

Anyway, there are notes. Over at school, Lana was learning about Earth's bloody history in the library. Yeah, their history is short, but they fit a lot in there.

In the third floor common room of the dorms, Prompto managed to somehow lose a knife after making a sandwich. Even odds a gremlin took it or it's in the couch cushions or somewhere else weird. Either way, I'd look before sitting down in that common room until it's found.

In town, there was an air of quiet thoughtfulness with Jono at the Groovy Tunes, quiet thoughtfulness and a poppy with Sparkle at Demon Marcus, just a hell of a lot of poppies with Fenris at Covent Garden, and right back to quiet with Bob at the Magic Box. Even the kitchen staff at Luke's were behaving themselves, and Summer and I talked a little bit about where our disparate body parts went on Tuesday with all of... whatever the hell that was. And, last but not least, Atton was mixing drinks over at Caritas when Kaidan showed up looking for... some kind of seasonal drink, I think. Probably not eggnog. I'm not even from this galaxy and even I know it's too kriffing early for eggnog.

And that's all the notes, so I'm out of here. I need to head home, see a guy about some bacta. Uh. Not for me. I'm fine. Anyway, Kanan out.

Hey, Fandom. Kanan Jarrus here with squirrel notes, and I'm going to leap right into it because I just got back to the island and I don't think I've actually slept since Friday.

I'll start with school, as usual, where Lana was getting Halloween lessons from the books. Sounds like they were trying to be helpful, aw.

In the dorms, Prompto was in the gun range, testing out some new pistols he'd been given for his birthday. The squirrels assure me they were very, very nice.

Bob was at the Magic Box in town, dealing with offensive crystals. Fenris was making kale bouquets at Covent Garden. Sparkle's Demon Marcus shift was all about Halloween Costumes, and Jonothon was wondering what was up with the stereo at Groovy Tunes playing nothing but, and I quote, 'nerd music.' I don't know what that entails and the squirrels aren't telling me, but okay. Mitsutada was covering for me over at Luke's - I need to remember to grab his Tuesday shift - when Summer stopped in looking for pancakes and looking for me, and wound up talking to Mitsutada about what it's like to be him. Sorry I wasn't around, Summer. I had to go back home, see a guy about a thing. Tuesday pancakes probably won't have the same ring to it, but...

In the park, Aloy had some rabbit meat she'd hunted up herself. Breq joined her for her meal, and they talked about the difference between food here versus food where Aloy's from. Sidon stopped by to say hello too, and was offered a sample of rabbit and conversation about his home.

And at Caritas, Atton was there, but not entirely present, hanging out in the lounge. Happens to the best of us. And that's all the notes, so I'm going to go home, run some final diagnostics on my ship, and get some sleep for the first time in three days. Catch you next week, Fandom.

[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Fandom, hey. I'm gonna try to get this over with quick, so you can all go on your trip without too many feelings about the weekend. This is Kanan Jarrus, and here's some stuff that nominally actually counts as news, I guess.

Emotionally intrusive news.

Over at the library, Lana was meditating.

Bob was giving the crystals at the Magic Box a side-eye, and Fenris had an affectionate kittenwillow keeping him company over at Covent Garden.

And I'm pretty sure that's it for the notes that aren't about people's dearly departed guests. You can shut your radio off now if you don't want to hear the rest.

Sparkle was looking at cute animals on the internet during his Demon Marcus shift when Dante swung by and introduced him to his mom. Awn stopped in too, looking for somebody she didn't know the name of, and Sparkle talked with her for a while over tea. Looks like Awn did eventually find who she was looking for, and they wound up talking for a while on the beach. I hope that went well for them both. Up on the roof of the MCA, I did a little bit of catching up with my old friend, Stance. Yes, I did name my dog after him. Yes, it's fitting. Kathy had her sister out for ice cream at the Chilly Boulder, which meant that Sarah got to meet Ringo, Alluka, and Parker, who talked about blackmail, death, and jerks, respectively.

Caritas was open, and Atton wasn't tending the bar alone, at least for the first part of the night. And it looks like he managed to talk Meetra into not only a duet, but a solo number after that, which ended in-- Ah. I'm going to just move on to the bar notes, where Atton was serving her drinks, talking about winding down with them, that sort of thing. Ash stopped by for whiskey and to talk Fandom Island trauma with Atton, Kaidan caught up to her and she... questioned his choice in friendships, apparently. Sure thing, Ash. Kaidan and Atton talked a little bit about the whole guest thing, too. I almost regret not taking Stance out for drinks, but I'll admit I don't even know how he holds... held... his liquor.

Well, that was a fun moment, there. Let's just move right on into the sad farewells and get this over with. I'll try not to get into anything too personal here, I had my own visitor, I get it. Sia saw her father off with a hug. Angeal left alone. Atton caught up with Meetra after the bar thing. Dante saw his mother off, also with a hug. Sidon saw off Mipha and there were heartfelt words of encouragement. Kathy and Sarah exchanged sisterly words of love before Sarah left. Kaidan saw Ash off with a hug and a salute. Liam saw his mother off, and then Verity was there to offer him comfort afterwards. I, uh, finally told Stance what my dog's name is. And Summer saw her brother off with talk of his video game habit and also hugs.

Should I have hugged Stance? Great. I'm going to worry about this, now. Anyway, that's all the notes, I hope you're all hanging in there, Fandom. Enjoy the trip if you're going, and if not... enjoy life. You get one. Live it.

Until next week, Fandom.

Good morning, Fandom. I see we got through another Parents' Weekend without blowing the island up. Give one another all pats on the back, it isn't as though we don't all know full well that it was a possibility.

*Chittering*

What? I've met some of those guests.

Anyway, I have notes, I'm gonna read notes. Over at the school, Lana was introducing her guest to the library for her first shift. He seemed amused by the books. I get the impression that he seems amused by a lot of things. Jury's still out on whether he actually is or not. Rosa was in her office using a dartboard for throwing star practice. I can respect that. Darth Vowrawn stopped by to ask about Lana's education in Rosa's class, and the squirrels are pretty sure she was mining him for class ideas. Bunsen came in asking about potential candidates for new lab assistants, so good luck with your new internships, Ringo and Uma. And Paris stopped in with her nanny and asked Rosa if she can speak Portugese. The verdict is that she can follow along, but can't speak it.

That sums up about half the languages we have back home, honestly.

In town, there was the brunch, where folks could show up and mingle to their hearts' content. Zack was approached by some guy called... Tseng. Is the T silent? I never can tell when it's written in High Galactic like this. Kaidan and Jack got to meet Zack, but more importantly, got to meet Zack's dog. Look, I'm sure Zack's a great guy, but I have dog priorities, here. Kaidan also introduced Jack to Atton and his guests, and now I get to live the rest of my life with the knowledge that Jack said Darth Vowrawn was pretty hot, so thanks for that, Squirrels. Beaker wandered by Bunsen, and everybody else was elsewhere. At the food, Kaidan and Jack met up with Liam, Ariel, and Lili. Jack wandered off with Ariel while the other grown-ups chatted... space politics, I think. Makes my head hurt. At the tables, Zack set his dog loose on Prompto so that he wouldn't be sitting alone, and Magnus introduced Octavia to his visitor, Barry Bluejeans.

There are a lot of strange names back where I come from, and even I have to say, that one delights me.

In town, Aphra and her guest woke up in the stripper pole suite together. I'll leave you to fill the blanks in however you see fit. Kaidan was at the pier with Jack, where he introduced Breq to one of EDI's subroutines in Jack's shuttle. On the beach, Uma was accosted by a Fairy Godmother in a... not good way... but at least Bobby was there to intervene. See, I keep saying these weekends are trouble. Sabine was wisely avoiding the visitors while working on a mural she's been poking at. There were books on the floor during Bob's shift at the Magic Box. Jono had paperwork and then he had a Simon at the Groovy Tunes, and now apparently Simon has a job. Congrats, Sleepy Kid. Apparently Jono also got a text from Kaidan. How the squirrels have such good eyesight is beyond me. Unless they asked him to show them his phone, I guess. Sparkle did some flopping around at Demon Marcus, and was visited by Octavia, who asked if he was okay, Dr. Lecter, who brought him an apology brunch, and Nina, who he started talking trashy romance novels with.

The squirrels made a point to mention she's got a thing for knights. The squirrels are making this note weird and they don't even realize why.

We didn't actually have a pancake special at Luke's, but we did have a Summer stopping in to exchange notes about the weekend so far. And a Jack, looking for whiskey and cheeseburgers. I gave her one of those two things and some conversation and a Coke to make up for the other. Iris was working late at Pick Your Poison, where she got a visit from Tseng, whose name I am almost certainly pronouncing wrong, asking her to deliver some letters for him. Kaidan saw Jack off at the docks in the evening, hope she had some luck getting home, there, and along the beach, Steve was going for a walk with who the squirrels have dubbed, 'the wrong Tony.'

I'd say that's rude, but in the wake of these weekends, I have no damn clue. So, uh, have a good week, Fandom. Hopefully next weekend will be more quiet and will involve fewer attempted kidnappings or whatever.

Fandom. It is Kanan once again, here to read the news in as professional a manner as possible before caf.

*chittering*

No. Coffee isn't caf. Let me have this.

Notes?

*Chittering*

Okay, let's do this.

School? Nothing. Dorms? Nothing. Looks like our fleet of squirrels were all in town yesterday, spying on places like the Magic Box, where Bob was not. News, people. Of course, he wasn't there because he was at the Job Fair in the park, where folks mingled among the food trucks and Seivarden talked to Rosa about having louder-- I am seriously not getting paid enough to read that note on the air, guys.

*Chittering*

Yes, that's right, I don't get paid. Exactly.

Anyway, there were booths for business owners to try to entice folks to come serve as their minions or whatever. Took a look around. There was some interesting stuff going on, sure. Sparkle assisted Nina with some winter clothes woes at the Demon Marcus booth. Zack gave Prompto a Furnado job with great puppy benefits. Norman, at the Magic Box booth, talked jelly demons with Nina, Bob, and Fenris and here's where I admit I have no idea what a jelly demon is. Summer met Nina, and I just felt a chill of cold terror running down my spine. Jughead hit up Summer for a job, at least. Amaya had a booth for the forge, and I hit it up asking about getting some practice weapons made. Fjord, meanwhile, was interested in an apprenticeship there. Fenris learned a little something about picking his poisons over at Iris' booth, where Nell stopped to ask about selling teas and lotions and such. At Peter's Covent Garden booth, Fenris named the kittenwillow 'Tickles,' and there are a lot of very unexpected cute things in that sentence, right there. Nell also stopped by the booth to ask Peter for a job. At the Caritas booth, Kitty got a Fjord asking for Fridays, and at Wellspring Arms and Meditation - I'm honestly amazed I haven't stopped by there yet myself - Cable explained the 'meditation' part of 'meditation center' to Sabine, who got herself a job messing with guns.

Which is the most fitting sentence I've read today. Congrats, Sabine.

Yesterday also happened to be Iris' birthday, so Zack threw her a party over at the Groovy Tunes. Folks arrived and checked out Zack's... enthusiastic decorating job. Seivarden chatted up Amaya about all of her forge's new business, and asked if Rosa really needs more weapons. I'm fairly certain the resounding answer across most of the island is that you can never have too many, Seivarden. There was food... there was a lot of food, and somebody tell Fenris that he's welcome to just take cake when it's sitting there for the taking, okay? And then people got to chat up the birthday girl herself. Iris got speculation from Zack about seniors discounts, Kaidan regaled her on the misadventures we had in getting her birthday present, Prompto got a lesson in observation skills, Sidon offered felicitations and chat about the decorating, Summer solicited a birthday greeting for the internet, and Seivarden gave Iris a bow and her thanks for the invitation. And, of course, there were presents. Somebody make sure to keep that plant monster away from the tea set, okay?

And with that done, my final note of the night, Atton was at a loss for what to do about the... train... on the bar... at Caritas.

Fandom, why are you like this. I'm out.
uncertain_dume: (Little Smirk)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey again, Fandom. Told you I'd be back this week. Not that I imagine any of you doubted. You're probably sick of me on Mondays by now.

Anyway, I'm Kanan Jarrus, and this is... nominally... the news.

We'll start with the dorms, where Sabine was having trouble locating her food in the second floor common room fridge. For anybody listening, might I suggest not stealing food from anyone who wears armor everywhere they go? That just seems like a poor life choice to me. Prompto was having difficulty finding his Cup Noodle, so I guess at least this wasn't a targeted theft, and Lana learned about Sabine's plans for comeuppance for whoever tries to take her food next. You know what, I'm not even going to share what those plans are on the radio. I want to see it happen and then laugh at whoever experiences it.

I'm great like that.

Moving on to town, next. Liam was out for a jog yesterday morning, where he met up with Kaidan, also jogging, because the island is populated by masochists.

*Chittering*

Sure I jog too. Blame Kaidan. Anyway, they talked about how Liam was off on some kind of holy quest to get coffee, apparently. Sounds like a typical morning ritual to me. Over at the Magic Box, Bob was bored. I feel like I should stop in to pester him next week. It'll be like old times, when he used to bother me in my office by coming through the damn wall. At Luke's I was dealing with a bit of a mynock situation, which I explained to Summer before we started talking about how doomed I am now that she's met Sabine. Demon Marcus had Sparkle putting out autumn stock, which was interrupted so that he could help Octavia find a winter coat and Fenris find clothing in general. Over at Groovy Tunes, Jono was accusing the stereo of... something... apparently party related.

Karolina was at the Perk doing some kind of official business sort of thing, when Tony stopped for a chat and they talked responsibilities and charities. Seivarden was making use of the Onsen when Fjord made his way in and they discussed their respective difficulties getting used to the island. Yeah, I think we all get a bit of that one. I was at home making dinner - really, guys, you're making me report on my own - okay, fine. I was making dinner when Hera came in, and we chatted a little, mostly about my friends. That's right, guys. I talk about you.

*Dramatic sound effect*

... Thanks, buddy.

*Chittering*

And finally, at Caritas, Atton was mixing cocktails and using Tino as a test subject, there. He talked drinks with Fenris, Fenris talked drinks and adjusting with Hernando, Octavia talked microbrews and beer snobs with Atton, and then Hernando had to settle for a local pilsner instead of one imported from Mexico. Huh. Caritas gets in juma but it doesn't get Mexican beer? You might want to make a special request with Kitty on Tuesdays for that one, Hernando.

*Chittering?*

Yeah, that doesn't mean I can't help a man get his drink of choice. Anyway, that's all the notes, so I'm out. Until next week, Fandom.
uncertain_dume: (Default)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey again, Fandom. It's Kanan Jarrus, here with an impressive stack of notes for a Monday morning. Looks like the squirrels have stopped taking weekends off.

*Chittering*

No, I'm not bringing you extra rum for doing your job well. I'd still rather be in bed, guys.

*Disappointed chittering*

That's just the way it is. And you even brought me notes from the dorms. Still kinda creepy. You can't tell me that handing me a note telling me that Prompto was doing some texting in his room isn't creepy. At least Alluka was in a common room in this 'on her laptop' note you wrote. Looks like Ringo pulled the old sneak-sneak-boo on Alluka, who demanded ice cream as recompense. I'd say that's fair. I'd also caution new folks to not try that one on strangers around here, as you might end up through a wall.

Moving on to town, Liam was in the spaceship parking lot at the junkyard, running over ship diagnostics while waiting for Kaidan and Verity for their field trip outside of Earth's atmosphere. Kaidan showed up in that fancy armor of his and chatted with Liam for a bit about why Liam decided to settle on Fandom, and Verity showed up and introductions were made, which apparently included deifying Liam. Congratulations, Liam? And then they headed into space, which the squirrels will happily follow broadcasters to on their day, but they won't make the effort to follow to take notes, so on I move to Seivarden and her cat, hanging out on the front steps of the MCA, chatting with Peter about some kind of tea drama.

The words 'tea porn' were used. I'm out.

*Chittering*

Well, then give me the next note. Thanks. New guy Fenris was sitting in a tree in the park - good way to meet people even when you're hoping it isn't - and got the predictable parade of 'hey are you new.' First in line was Zack, who was walking his dog and eventually asked him for a swordfight. See? I'm not the only one around here who uses a karking sword. Magnus gave him a hail and well met, and then educated him about GP and Starbucks. I only nominally know what one of those two things are, myself. Looks like Peter was the one who took it upon himself to give Fenris a bit of a primer on where to find things like clothes on the island. Amaya talked about a bit of the weirdness instead, and, of course, about her forge. She does fantastic bladework, folks. Definitely swing by if you're in the market.

At the Magic Box, Bob was watching the books perform some sort of garbage ritual. I don't know if that's a ritual involving garbage, or if the whole setup is actually poodoo. Carter was at the church, cleaning up the graveyard, when Norman stopped by to pay his respects and do some repairs to an old headstone. At Luke's, the pancakes almost all seemed to have alcohol in them, sigh, and Summer made certain that the Kitty doesn't involve real cats. It doesn't. It's peanut butter. Kaidan wanted coffee and let me know he was going on a field trip or two, and Iris stopped by to order pancakes and ask me about what has been framed as 'childish drama.' So, that's a thing.

Jono was having troubles with Fruit Salad at Groovy Tunes, but was distracted from all that when Alluka showed up for her violin lesson. Summer was looking over a list at Turtle & Canary, but was distracted from it both by Pastor Carter showing up with apology cookies and Iris showed up looking for something to hang a sign for Sparkle with. Over at Demon Marcus, the aforementioned Sparkle was painting his nails. A lot, apparently. I have no idea what that means. Kaidan stopped by to show off his fancypants armor and invite Sparkle out for drinks, Karina stopped by needing what the squirrels inform me are 'all the emergency dresses,' and Iris made a sign delivery. Which, the squirrels say, was fitting and well-recieved. Well, good.

Finally, at Caritas, Atton was tired, but still had to deal with all of us idiots. I came in and ordered an orange juice, which is absolutely usual bar fare, you shut up. Kaidan brought Sparkle in, as he'd promised, and they chatted a bit about getting Sparkle onto the stage before the conversation shifted to Hernando. Kaidan got a beer nut thrown at him, probably one of the ones that Sparkle had been throwing at Atton before he was distracted by Karina complimenting his aim. Atton threatened to make Sparkle's drinks stronger - I don't think he minded - and Karina informed Atton that he looked like garbage.

*Chittering*

Did he? Nah, I'm staying out of that one, guys.

Anyway, that's all the notes, so I'm out of here, catch you all next week.
uncertain_dume: (Ummmm)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey, Fandom. It's Kanan again with all the Monday news for whatever it is people were up to on Sunday. Yesterday's gossip, today? No, you know what, I don't need some clever slogan for this, have some squirrel notes.

Nothing happened over at the school, but in the dorms, Astrid was doing some painting. We have a lot of creative types around here these days, don't we? I'm sure you'll all leave the island a more colorful place than it was when you got here.

Everything else the squirrels figured was worth mentioning went on in town, with Magnus crashing in on Octavia at her place with a tray of pumpkin spice lattes. Yeah, the season is upon us, folks. Go forth and exact your revenge vicariously on the fish by drinking coffee that smells like it, or something. Over at Luke's I was accosted by a noodle - no, I don't want to talk about it - but it meant spaghetti was sharing space on the specials board next to the usual cupcakes. Sabine stopped by for a Coke and we chatted about our respective weeks. Summer was mostly just horrified that spaghetti was on the menu after the whole noodle guy incident, and Hernando stopped in long enough to decide that he really didn't want spaghetti after all.

... So he went to Mooby's. You would've been better off with the spaghetti. Kaidan was surprised to see him there, though I am not at all surprised that Kaidan was there, and apparently they talked about Hernando's failed attempt to eat at Luke's - seriously, people, I do my job, come on - before Kaidan suggested Hernando pay Sparkle a visit. Sparkle, of course, was at Demon Marcus, napping, and then getting a surprise visit from Leto, who brought kisses, and another surprise visit from Hernando, who brought the sort of coffee that might even have seen a coffee at some point in its life.

Bob was at the Magic Box going over the stock, marking the unsafe merchandise for future reference. Summer was adding yet more glitter to her arrangement of signs at Turtle & Canary. Careful, Summer, if you get too carried away with those things people are going to start to think you only sell signs. Jono was playing Pearl Jam at Groovy Tunes when Miguel stopped by to ask what Jono wanted him to do with... the blood and tissue samples he took during that weird weekend with all the cravats. The things this place makes me say. And, finally, Atton was back at work at Caritas, singing karaoke and catching Kitty up on how he's doing lately.

And that's everything the squirrels have handed to me, so I'm out of here. Until next week, Fandom.

Fandom, hey, this is Kanan Jarrus, and the squirrels have actually handed me more than three notes today. I can only assume this means the new kids are raising hell already. Good on you, new kids. But if any of you touches my ship I'll break your knuckles.

*Chittering*

Yes I will.

*Chittering*

Yes. I will.

You know what, just give me the notes. )

Fandom, hey. It's Kanan, here with notes because, yes, it's Monday, and no, the squirrels are never going to let me sleep in on a Monday again. At least there aren't many of them, which means the island's decided to cut us at least a little slack, for a while.

I'll take it.

Everything worth commenting on happened in town yesterday, with Amaya reassuring Apu that she wasn't just abandoning him to the new ownership over at Turtlre & Canary, Rey taking it easy over at Stark Industries for her last shift, Sparkle checking out the fall fashions at Demon Marcus, and me arguing with the cook at Luke's over the new direction he wants to take Sunday breakfast in. I maintain that you can't just replace a year and a half pancake tradition with waffles. You just can't. Fortunately, Summer stopped by to tell them off in the kitchen and I, uh, I caught her up on a few things. And Kitty managed to get them to agree to pancakes before catching me up on a few things. And, uh, getting my offer to babysit sometime in writing.

I refuse to believe that it's a trap.

Finally, in slightly less public but no less on the radio news, Hernando was taking it easy over at the Arms. Wine and movies? Not a bad way to do it.

And that's all the notes. I'm going back home and back to bed. Don't wake me unless something's burning down.

So, uh, that was definitely a weekend, huh? I'm not even going to do some kind of crazy preamble today, Fandom. I'm Kanan Jarrus, I'm probably not even half as exhausted as some of you are, and here's what we survived yesterday.

Finale News! )

Good morning again, Fandom. This is Kanan Jarrus, yet again, with your Monday news about Sunday's gossip.

Or whatever it is. It still barely counts as news, honestly.

As usual, all the action-or-something-like-it was in town yesterday, with Dante sitting on the steps of 33 Apocalypse bright and early in the morning - he had a conversation with Kathy about crazy shirts and cold feet, and another with Anders about crazy casserole and sleep problems. Seivarden was outside the MCA with Issa as well, though she didn't have company with her, she had juice.

Huh.

Kaidan was at the C.I.C. for his shift, cleaning out some kind of console and keeping the Raven company. Rey, meanwhile, was at Stark Industries, keeping company with the fish. Sort of. Apparently nobody took the bait with her 'free fish' sign, so she came over to a sleepy shift at Luke's in order to ask me about alternate fish storage methods.

If anybody goes into the freezer, don't move the box of Krabby Patties. They're the only thing keeping us safe.

Hey, Fandom! Looks like another slow week for the radio this Monday, probably because roughly a third of the island's residents are animals right now, so let's just leap into this.

All the activity was in town, as usual, with Sparkle doing his nails and in A Mood at Demon Marcus. Jono was texting over at Groovy Tunes, at least until Dr. Lecter stopped by with a birthday present for him. Apparently Jono forgot, so if you didn't get him anything this year, at least you're in good company. And at Luke's, I was so absorbed in tinkering with a remote that I didn't notice the cook put up a tea-themed specials board. Summer did her usual 'why is it still the summer' texting at me to make up for her not being here, and Seivarden was feeling under the weather, so she stopped by for some tea and a single pancake.

And that's all the squirrels caught you guys doing. Honestly, what is it about this time of year that makes for such an animal transformation epidemic, anyway?

Hey, Fandom. Here I am, back again this week just like I warned you all I would, to read you the news the squirrels thought we all needed to hear.

It probably won't be interesting, but at this point I'm too invested in what stupid poodoo everybody is getting into to tell the squirrels I quit.

*Chittering*

Right on, buddy. Let's have those notes. As usual, there was nothing at the school and the students are either more boring or better at bribing squirrels than the rest of us, so we'll head right into what was going on in town, with Jono brooding over paperwork at Groovy Tunes, Me deflecting incoming pancake attacks and serving brunch to Seivarden at Luke's - she was surprised that a diner had tea, and I have no idea why - and Sparkle setting up some kind of tea photoshoot at Demon Marcus. The squirrels say he's hiring models, because he drafted Kaidan - who insists the photos would just be art to anybody without a naked hand... fetish...? Kaidan. - and Miguel to his cause before he got a troubling phone call and had to close shop early.

Well. That doesn't sound great.

In the Park, Hernando and one of the quokka - I need to remember to figure out what those are because right now I'm picturing happy Wookiees and that can't be right - were going for a walk. Kaidan ran into them, not literally, and learned a little bit about Australian marsupials before chatting with Hernando about where to get his nails done. Miguel also got the quokka lesson, and introduced himself. Hernando seems like the pleasant sort, so everyone give him a warm Fandom welcome when you meet him, okay?

And if anybody hurts a hair on his head I'll give Cristina some work to do at the clinic, just see if I don't.

And our last note today says that Kaidan went in to investigate the tunnels under the pumphouse, and wasn't seen again until he returned to the island with IKEA bags. So I guess he found a new shortcut under there?

*Chittering*

No, but apparently the pumphouse door as a cute koala lock on it now. Which just makes me wary about IKEA, mostly.

And that's all the notes, so I'll leave you all until next week. Apparently I'm going shopping today. Wish me luck.

Good morning again, Fandom. It's Kanan, here with the notes, ready to share what people were up to yesterday so you can... I don't know... take that knowledge and use it for evil, probably. I've met some of you.

As always, the school was empty on a Sunday and the squirrels were too lazy to bother with covering what went on in the dorms - which I appreciate - so we'll get right into what happened in town.

Town, where Amaya sent Apu out on an emergency tea run for Seivarden at the Turtle & Canary - good thinking, if you stock her up she's probably less likely to bite the faces off the Perk staff - and also took a crack at fixing the squishy machine. Still red. Now also glittery. Kaidan swung by to get shiny edible things for the raven, and noticed that the flavors in the squishy machine were basically glittery tea, so he made a point to text Sparkle to let him know.

Apparently the verdict was 'oh my god I want that,' or something of that nature, because some time after Sparkle was done making an open sign for Demon Marcus using tea, and some time after Dr. Lecter showed up with food and to discuss... whatever all of this is... Kaidan made his grand appearance with a pair of tea-flavored glittery squishies, to Sparkle's delight.

I'm sensing a theme here.

Jono's time at Groovy Tunes was less about tea and more about brooding. At Luke's, everything was feta. Everything. I can never drink another milkshake. Or load a photo on my phone from Summer without first bracing myself, because I will never unsee that hamster. Kitty was my little window of sanity in an otherwise feta-and-hamster tarnished world, even if she did like the inexplicable feta water. Rey, wisely avoiding all things tea and feta related at Stark Industries, spent her day making plans for her return to Jakku.

And that's all the notes, so I'm going to go, walk the dog, and try to get the horrible sudden image of 'feta tea' out of my head now, thanks. Until next week, Fandom.

Hey again, Fandom. Welcome back for another summer workshop term. I'm sure you're all very excited. Not that I have news about that this week, since it's Monday morning. But I do have news about what you've all been up to in town, because squirrels are incorrigible. So, let's jump into this, shall we?

At Luke's, the cook made some sort of horrifying combination of pancake, poutine, and moose, and decdied to put that monstrosity on the specials board. And I did some texting with Summer. Jury's still out on if she'll ever forgive me for typing 'probably' at her. Rey was at work in town too, spending her time at Stark's trying to figure out how to charge a phone on a desert planet. Did you try a solar setup, Rey? I have a feeling you'd have some decent luck with solar.

At the Perk, Kaidan ordered some iced tea from the ever-polite serving staff, and then... the notes say he and Sparkle lit pyrotechnics indoors while talking about street vendors, so I assume this was from some sort of holiday they share or something.

Astrid did a little bit of hanging out at the beach, where she and Rey talked about missing home and where they came from. And in the evening, at the MHA, Verity was being made to observe the holy feast of, and I quote, "I Swear, Daddy, I'll Kiss the Next Man That Walks Through That Door," which raises so many questions, honestly. At least the next man through that door was Liam, who was greeted with profanity followed by a kiss. You're gonna give the guy a complex or something that way, Verity. And then they talked about holidays for mice and weapons?

None of that is actually weird around here, and that's all the notes I've got, so I'm going to go walk my dog or something. This is Kanan, signing off.

Oof, hey. Take it easy there, guys. I'm coming, I haven't had my caf yet today.

*Chittering*

... You made me caf?

*Chittering*

See, I knew I liked you. Give me those notes, I think my brain is starting up again just smelling it.

As most of you know, yesterday was Pride Picnic day in the park. There was the requisite picnic mingling, where Breq and Sparkle talked about everything from human nature to the meaning of home. Seivarden told Rosa that Issa was home safe and sound, and then they talked about the uselessness of the island's troopers. Not gonna argue that one, no. And Anders was playing in the glitter, where he met up with both Dante and Kathy.

There was food, including whatever Dr. Lecter cooked up. Eliot got on his case about potatoes and Amaya was just happy about grilled meat.

Off to one side of the park, there was a setup for Games, including a ball pit, where Eliot congratulated Jonothon on a Pride event well planned. Kathy went up against her old nemesis, the kraken slide. And Hardison constructed a validity blanket fort, which apparently put Eliot in the mood for camping. From time to time, Kathy was sitting in the grass playing her guitar, too.

To the other side of the park, booths, promoting healthy living and collecting money for charities. Covent Garden had a booth manned by Peter, where Norman found a flower that he was especially interested in. Dites and the Clinic had a booth set up as well. Kathy and Cristina were both there to run it, and made proper introductions that didn't involve a side dose of Fandom weirdness, for once. Seivarden was there to look things over, and wound up... having a conversation... with Cristina about her job on the island and the importance of sunscreen. I'm sure it went well. Ah. Seivarden also had a talk with Kathy about safe sex and how to avoid STDs.

And the whole thing wrapped up with a rainbow fireworks show courtesy of Sabine. If ever you want somebody to blow something up for you in style, find her, definitely.

Elsewhere yesterday, it was Liam's birthday, so Verity arranged for a birthday event at Il Pollo for him. Apparently a large part of that event involved her teasing him about his age and something about a cake. Miguel showed up, armed with an Ikea gift card, which surprised Liam. Verity explained the cake away to Miguel by saying Liam had lost a bet, and then they started talking about cosplay.

I have no idea what that is, but that's the last of my notes, so I don't actually care enough to go looking. It's break week, I'm going to gear up to go stir up trouble back home for a few days or something. Enjoy your time off, Fandom. Until next week.

Good morning, Fandom. Looks like we've all made it to finals week for the first half of the summer, so congratulations on being so close to a week off that we can all pretty much taste it. Just don't screw it up this week, right? I don't know what that would entail. Blowing up that horrifying fish or something.

Anyway, I have notes here, so I'm going to get them out of the way quickly so that I can go run diagnostics on my ship before taking Kaidan for a spin around this corner of the system. Mars is even conveniently close to Earth today, so this was a well-timed field trip.

*Chittering!*

No, we aren't dating. What? Give me those notes.

We've actually got activity in the dorms this week, huh. Astrid was up on the roof, getting some quiet thinking time in, when Sabine came up and they discussed the view and adjusting to life on the island. It can take a while, yeah. Gratuity was up there, too, but their talk leaned less into adjusting and more into life with their respective mothers. Those were relatively non-traumatic dorms notes. Keep up the good work.

Town saw Rey double-checking her portal reservations at Stark Industries. I maintain that I'll shake a gnome for you if that booking falls through, Rey. Amaya learned about Father's Day courtesy of Apu at Turtle & Canary, where the Squishy flavors were... unfortunate. They were unfortunate. Jonothon was researching music for Pride at the Groovy Tunes. At Demon Marcus, Sparkle's bad mood lifted when Kaidan came in looking for a good shirt to wear to Pride. The squirrels are disappointed that Sparkle told him where the dressing rooms are after he changed his shirt right in the middle of the room. Oh, buddy. The kitchen staff was being all respectful again at Luke's, where things were relatively quiet with the exception of Summer texting me links to songs she wants me to sing for her birthday tomorrow. So, there's your warning. Now you can pack earplugs if you're planning on attending that. You're welcome.

Over at the Perk, Dr. Lecter was doing some people-watching with a rose tea latte. There are three words in a row there that I never pictured together. I'll have to go try it sometime. Hera was there too, and the staff explained the holiday to her. Just remember if you don't like them that they're not our holidays if we don't want them to be, Hera. Zack followed the rest of the pack there, trying to use coffee for liquid courage or something, and did some catching up with Dr. Lecter about his impending nuptials. And, in people actually spending time with their fathers news, Kathy invaded Eliot's home to make him a Father's Day meal, and the squirrels insist that 'Seoul Food' is the best dad joke they've heard this year.

I'll have to take their words for it. I don't get it.

*Disappointed chittering*

Well, how would I know that? Anyway, that's all the notes, so I'm off to make sure my baby's still gonna fly. Have a good week, Fandom.

Fandom. Hey. Kanan Jarrus here, with notes, from town, where half the adult population of the island is probably still getting their bearings, myself included. I'll try to keep this one succinct and relatively coherent today, and then I'll be out of your hair.

*Chittering*

Yes, that is blue.

*Chittering*

Yes, that is pink. It's fine. Give me the notes or I'll leave you to read them yourselves.

*Rustling*

Thanks. So, we'll start with Turtle & Canary, where Amaya has an overabundance of Mountain Dew squishies and Doritos to try to sell off, courtesy of a younger Apu. Heads up to the actual teens of the island- it's a buy one, get five deal on Doritos. You know those common rooms need to be stocked up. Jono was at the Groovy Tunes, seeming relatively unscathed by the whole ordeal, though Dr. Lecter did stop by to ask if he was going to start sleeping at home again now that they remembered one another. Sparkle didn't change this week but he did have to answer for glitter and flirting related crimes with Seivarden and Dr. Lecter respectively, and suddenly I feel like I've gotten off lightly with some streaks in my hair. At least there wasn't a hell of a lot of glitter or flirting on my end.

I think.

The staff at Luke's was more obnoxious than I remember them, though that might just have been my mood yesterday. Still, I got a call and some life advice from Summer, a visit from Kitty, who gives good hugs, if you're wondering. Kaidan stopped by for carbs and we both agreed none of that happened before talking about it all anyway. It made sense to us at the time. Hera was there definitely for the pancakes, but also maybe to see how I was holding up, and I appreciate that. And it looked like Parker had some of her own stuff to sort out, but on the plus side, all the little creamer cups are as fresh as they'll ever be, now.

Seems like 'rocks on the beach' was a running theme for the week, since Liam was out there in the morning, sitting on one rock and contemplating another. Reno checked in, mostly just to observe that things were back to normal, and Verity helped Liam sort out a few feelings on the matter. And Jaina was at the Perk, looking over a data pad and catching up on some stuff she'd missed as a teen, and she and Peter ended up exchanging notes on their comparatively non-traumatic stints as teens.

I have heard this word a lot over the last several days, so I can feel fairly confident when I use it now to say that I'm pretty sure, for most of us, it sucked.

I'm glad to be back to normal. I hope the rest of you are, too. Take it easy this week, Fandom. Hopefully you didn't do anything the students will mock you too much for later.

Ugh, Cal--

Oh. I’m Seivarden Vendaai. And this is my friend Caleb Dume.

Caleb: Hi! Um. I have no idea why I'm here, except that the little fuzzy guys are really pushy. And I think they were trying to entice me here with alcohol. I'm fine, guys, thanks.

Seivarden: They don’t even have tea!

Fandom, hey, it's another morning with Kanan Jarrus here on WTFH Radio, and I've got a small handful of notes in my hand, courtesy of your favorite voyeuristic squirrels. Whether any of the notes have anything actually newsworthy in them remains to be seen, but we'll give this our best shot anyway.

The school was quiet as always, because nobody in their right mind wants to be there on a Sunday at the start of the summer. But in the dorms, Breq was doing her morning prayers and listening to music. See, this is both not news and it might even be a little invasive, guys. But points for trying, I guess.

*Chittering*

You're right, you absolutely deserve another drink for that. Go hard, guys. I'll be here trying to read your writing. We're moving on to town now, where Vanessa and Wade discovered an entire room in their apartment that they didn't realize was there before, which led to talk about future plans, maybe starting a family, and I feel as though the squirrels really don't know a personal conversation when they see one.

Seivarden spent some of her afternoon at the gun range at Atlas - I really need to start spending some time there. Hopefully when it's not, ah, busy. I'll probably spend more time focusing on my blaster than on tea, though. Because gun safety is actually a thing they try to enforce there. Sabine was drawing in her sketchbook at the Perk - you know, the place where tea drinking is actually encouraged - when Seivarden came in, put in her unnecessarily finicky order for what is literally just leaves in hot water, and then was weird at Sabine about her art.

... Okay, look, Seivarden. Whatever problem you have with me, you're welcome to it, but you really have to grow the hell up and stop mocking kids about their hobbies. I want to think you're better than that.

Moving on. Sparkle was late for his shift at Demon Marcus, but at least he was there. The staff at Luke's was behaving themselves, which I don't trust, but at least it meant instead of babysitting them, I could take a video call from Summer and the adorable kid she was looking after yesterday. And, at Stark Industries, Rey finally had a breakthrough with Portalocity. Huh. Glad to see they got their business in order, Rey. I'll miss our sparring sessions once you go, though.

And that's all the notes there are, I believe, so I'm going to head to the Perk. Maybe order some leaves in hot water for myself. Have a good week, Fandom. Catch you next Monday.

Hey again, Fandom! Looks like I've got notes today, and the squirrels are actually rushing me to finish them because they've got cookout plans or something. One of them is wearing a little apron that says 'kiss the cook' and another one has a tupperware container full of acorns.

I... did not know that you could grill acorns, though I suppose I've seen stranger things happen.

*Chittering*

Nah, guys. I'll read the notes but then let you all at it. I appreciate the invite, though.

Anyway, things were quiet in the dorms and at the school again, but town saw some activity. There was another all-coffee menu at Luke's, to Kitty's despair. The staff blamed Miguel for whatever reason, but I'm pretty sure they're just trying to get me in trouble. And for anybody wondering, Summer misses my dog. This is, of course, because he's a good boy.

Jono was having an off-day over at the Groovy Tunes, and was joined by Iris, who was also having an off-day and who wanted to try to battle that 'off' with a hug. Not a bad course of action, there. Sparkle was purple at Demon Marcus, to Kathy's delight, and over at the Perk, Liara was in town, asking for extra caramel in her drink. I don't know you, Liara, but I feel like I understand you. Karolina was caught off-guard at the sight of the familiar face, and there was a stunned reunion moment there that the notes assure me was very, very cute. Peebee pointed out that ordering a coffee isn't actually a difficult ordeal and recognized Liara as another-Asari-who-used-to-go-to-school-here, and Kaidan was also surprised to see her, in a way that the squirrels inform me was less 'very cute' and more 'at a loss.'

You, uh, managed to go longer than I did before having the multi-dimensional hub oh-I-know-that-face rug pulled out from underfoot, Kaidan. I don't know if I should congratulate you for that, or buy you a drink.

And that looks like all the notes, so I'll leave the squirrels to their holiday cookout. I'm going to go walk the dog or something. Until next week, Fandom.
uncertain_dume: (Eyeroll)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey again, Fandom. Kanan here with a few tiny pieces of paper with barely legible writing, so I suppose that means it's time to read the notes. Which, to my eternal relief all seem to be from town.

... Mostly seem to be from town. Does what happens on the Isle of Ikea even count as Fandom news? Ah well, we'll sort that out when we get there.

We'll start today at Turtle & Canary, where Amaya walked in to discover Apu's new macramé habit. Sabine stopped in too, asking where she could get some rum for squirrel bribing and getting tips from Amaya for getting out of having too much about oneself read on radio.

*Chittering!*

Yeah, I see she didn't have rum not to bribe you over that note yet.

*Pointed chittering*

... I have nothing to bribe you over. Stop looking at me like that.

Anyway, elsewhere we had Sparkle having a smoke outside of Demon Marcus, and Jono trying something called an Otamatone at Groovy Tunes. At Luke's, the staff was throwing pancakes around, which I put a stop to before I did my weekly catch-up with Summer about the Wednesday activities and a show she wants to see that you should never Google the name of. Kitty stopped by and immediately knew that there had been pancakes everywhere, and we talked a little bit about the care and raising of small children and how much fire is an acceptable amount of fire around them.

At the docks, Captain Kenway was having a chat with his crew about their constant vigilance after the, ah, unique weather last Wednesday. Apparently there had been an incident that I intend to laugh about while reading the notes, but have no intention of reading on the air. You're welcome, Grim. Octavia couldn't help but make her way over to investigate the ship, and she and Edward introduced themselves.

In an abandoned warehouse somewhere, Dante set up a shooting range for Kathy, including extra sheets of steel to make sure nobody outside accidentally wound up getting shot. Everyone on the island who might need to walk through the warehouse district appreciates that, Dante. They talked a bit about shooting effigies instead of generic targets, and then he gave her a gun of her very own before they got down to their target practise.

And then, finally, Verity and Liam made their way to the Isle of Ikea to do some furniture shopping. And I really have to wonder why Fandom Radio is reporting on Ikea's news, but the squirrels are informing me that they'd really just take any excuse to head over there for meatballs. I can't fault them for that. And apparently this place is huge, because they were making contingency plans in case they got lost in there, never to be free again. Something about who gets eaten first?

I probably don't want to know.

And that's all the notes, so I'm going to get back to doing nothing of any importance at all on this, my Monday. Until next week, Fandom.
uncertain_dume: (Smugface)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey, Fandom! It's me again, Kanan. Those of you who are new to the island might know me as 'that guy who drove the bus.' I'm also 'that guy who reads what the squirrels said about you on Monday mornings,' but I assume you got a taste of that yesterday with Clint's broadcast.

Unless you were sleeping. Kriff, I wish I was sleeping right now.

Anyway, there are notes. In fact, there's one note from the Dorms, which is how I know there are new students. It looks like Astrid was having some difficulty calling her mother in the dorm lobby, and was running through quarters in the attempt. Somebody hook her up with a cell phone and the internet, would you? Make things easier on her next time.

In Town, Sabine found her way into an abandoned warehouse and immediately started painting. Not my first choice for an abandoned warehouse, but I can see the appeal. Rey was fixing everything at Stark Industries. Everything. The staff at Luke's was actually being pretty respectful yesterday, calling up their mothers and so on when Summer messaged me with a picture of the saddest stack of pancakes I've ever seen in my life and a request for a distraction. Sparkle was busy with the Mother's Day crowd at Demon Marcus when Seivarden came in for clothes and wound up telling him that, where she's from, he'd be drugged by medical professionals for painting his nails in public. I honestly don't even know where to start unpacking that one. Maybe I'll just start painting my nails. Sparkle also got a text from Sia, and they talked about Atton and fish. I have no idea how the squirrels even got in close enough to know that's what they were discussing, but I imagine if they were better at it, we'd all also get to know what those things even have in common. And, at Groovy Tunes, Jono was playing guitar.

And that's all the notes for today. I'm going to go back to bed or to walk my dog or to whatever store in town sells nail polish, I think. Until next time, Fandom.
uncertain_dume: (Shmoozing)
[personal profile] uncertain_dume
Hey again, Fandom! Or... whoever is left on the island, anyway. Seems like everyone's up and leaving today. Anyway, this is Kanan with my last broadcast before the summer term, so let's just get into this and get it over with, shall we?

As usual, the school and the dorms were quiet. Right on into town it is, then, with Jaina watching her kids at the Perk and messaging people to let them know she was in town. People, here, being Skywalker, who greeted the kids before acknowledging Jaina. Is that a thing people do around children? Huh. At Luke's, the special of the day was square pancakes, and no, I'm not going to wear one on my head like a mortarboard. Summer came in to get some things off her chest and to say bye, and Kitty wanted to know if square pancakes taste better before we talked a little about the holosuites at the business Raven is revamping - they're excellent, check them out once she opens - and hobbies I might or might not have had as a teenager.

Sparkle just didn't want to be at work yesterday at Demon Marcus, and at the Groovy Tunes, Jono was sending texts out, and got replies from Karla and Emma. The squirrels tell me that Karla wound up phoning, and they could hear her being shrill from the rafters. So apparently Jono messed up somewhere. Atton was at Caritas, also making calls, when Sia came in to check up on him just to find out that some Sith kidnapped a planet that a bunch of his friends were on. There are some notes I'd rather never read again. There would be one of them, right there. Excuse me a moment.

*This extended moment of censor beeps has been provided for you courtesy of your friendly neighborhood squirrels.*

Okay. Got that out of my system. Anyway, Atton is leaving this morning, which was what he told his roommate, Sparkle, when he stopped by to be a pest.

In thankfully less Sithy news, Summer had help from her brother, Morty, setting up for her final-party-as-a-student event in the preserve. People mostly showed up with food, like Peridot, who brought marshmallows, Uma, who brought Twinkies and Devil Dogs, and Yang, who provided a lot of bbq pork. There were people there to eat the food, too, like Sidon, who was eating raw hot dogs until Yang came up to him to suggest he try them with toppings. Dr. Lecter was there to congratulate Summer on her graduation. Summer and Rey talked about Saturday's scorpion problem. Jason approved of the way Summer fended those scorpions off, and I'm guessing his idea of 'fending off' is different from mine, because I have holographic evidence that she tried to tell one off while poking at it and taking selfies. Gratuity told Summer that she's set a pretty high bar for future parties, so now Fandom knows that's what they've got to live up to from now on. And Kaylin made an appearance, too, to eat the food and people watch.

And that's all the notes, so I'm going to get back to the usual, walking the dog and wondering how much longer before Raven opens those holosuites for business again. Kanan out.
