Rita: Hello, Fandom, this is Professor Ms. Rita Skeeter, joined tonight by my darling aides. Say hello, dears!
Callisto: This is what you needed us for?
Rita: Yes. Do you have a problem with this, Callistie?
Callisto: Apart from the fact I could otherwise be scrapbooking with my boyfriend right now? No, none at all.
Krycek: Same here. Why are we helping exactly?
Rita: Because I asked you to? By the way, on a completely unrelated note, I'm doing grades this week.
Callisto: *brightly* I love radio. *mutters* Just because someone hasn't scrapbooked since Wiblur ran off is no reason to punish us.
In classes, which were fascinating as I taught today
Rita: AHEM. Anyway! In
art class today, there was painting of each other. That sounds naughty. And apparently this...Angel fellow of yours, Callistie, was involved in some sort of kissing event. Oh, Alex, why don't you comfort her?
Callisto: Yay boykissy!
Krycek: Because then Jake might kill her out of revenge?
Rita: He can kiss Angel too.
Callisto: *happy sighing sound*
Rita: And
music class roasted marshmallows. What does that have to do with music? I don't understand.
Krycek: Campfire songs.
Rita:I'm sorry?
Krycek: You sit around a campfire and sing songs to pass the time? Like in Boy Scouts?
Krycek: ...Not that I was ever a Boy Scout.
Callisto: In any case it was fun. Moving on, today in class,
US Government roleplayed. Dirty
Rita: Merlin's beard, Josh, what are you teaching these children? By the way, we're out of butter and bread, and I wanted buttery toast today. It was very sad.
Krycek: Are you living in sin with another man, ma'am?
Callisto: What would Wilbur think?
Rita: I'm living with several men. Wilbur is fine with it. Don't you listen to the radio?
Callisto: No, too busy scrapbooking.
Callisto: Also, denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
Rita: Right. I gave my
classes their final projects today, and in
Journalistic Integrity, Mr. Echolls the bunny wore an
eyepatch. How odd.
Krycek: Odd that he's a bunny or odd that he had an eyepatch? Because neither seems to be odd on other students.
Rita: Odd that he's a bunny wearing an eyepatch.
Callisto: Not really, he's a pirate bunny.
Rita: ...is Barbossa taking him on as an apprentice now?
Callisto: ...yes.
Krycek: Logan as Barbossa's cabin boy. My day just got much more amusing.
Rita: And my mental imagery just got more disturbing. Speaking of mental processes before my brain explodes from strangeness,
math students...do math. Shock.
Callisto: Horror.
Krycek: Unsettling? Anyway, obviously no one hurt themselves adding and subtracting as there was no one in the
clinic.
Rita: And
gardening worked with pruning. Dear Heaven, does this mean children were playing with pruning shears?
Krycek: Most of us can even use scissors without an adult present.
Callisto: We don't even run with them anymore.
Callisto: Did Umberto ever run with scissors?
Rita: No, don't be silly - wizards don't use scissors.
Callisto: So that explains your hair.
Rita: Yes, it's magically done. Hence why it's impeccable.
Callisto: *coughing which sounds mysteriously like laughter* Yep, sure.
Rita: And in other news, the
library is open. Seriously. That's it.
Callisto: What about
StuCo? We met today.
Rita: And?
Callisto: Talked about prom, game night and coffee.
Krycek: Jake would approve, I'm sure.
Callisto: The Jake for whom you feel the same kind of affection that burns deep in my heart whenever I think of Angel.
Callisto: Who is my boyfriend.
Krycek: It's good that we both can speak so freely of our respective significant others, neither of whom are each other.
Callisto: Indeed. It is wonderful for us to be young and in seperate commited monagamous relationshps, and happily so.
In the Dorms, where all good boys and girls should be asleep
Rita: Anyway. This morning, Blair and Professor Cregg did
yoga together. What is 'yoga'?
Krycek: Relaxing stretching exercises.
Rita: It sounds like some vile food.
Krycek: You might be thinking 'yogurt'.
Rita: No, we have yogurt. I'm familiar. In any case, Belthazor and Not-Hellspawn
talk about ghosts and kissing and bunnies and war and fire. Broad range of topics, that.
Callisto: Not really, if they were talking about a ghost kissing a bunny which caused a fiery war.
Rita: But were they?
Callisto: I don't know, I wasn't there. Anyway, Callynanders took off for the weekend. Hope they remembered to pack the handcuffs.
Krycek: Seems a bit early for a honeymoon.
Callisto: What? You have to be married nowadays to have weekend of debauchery?
Krycek: They seem the marrying type, is all. But I'm all for debauchery as well.
Callisto: How are you and Jake by the way? Still happy together?
Krycek: When he's not leaving his clothes all over the floor and empty coffee mugs on the window sill.
Krycek: And you and Angel? How's the undead - warrior woman coupling going?
Callisto: Good. Lots of coupling going on. When he's not being an doofus at least.
Rita: AHEM. And back in Fandom,
Anakin is being a big showoff. Sources also say that water is wet, Angel is broody, Hellspawn is obnoxious and Callistie is in love with Alex.
Krycek: What sources say that?
Rita: My eyes.
Krycek: And don't you wear glasses? There could be a reason for that.
Callisto: Missing Wilbur has obviously made you hallucinatory, Rita.
Krycek: Delusional, even.
Rita: It's Professor Skeeter, and I'm not delusional. And on the Anakin note - it seems he's plummeting people through the air...namely
Molly,
not-Hellspawn,
Whor...Rory, and
Parker.
Krycek: I admit to being fairly impressed, though they plummeted under their own power. Anakin did the catching, so to speak.
Callisto: Also
Pippi and Pip watch some movie about Brazilian boys. Wonder if there was any dancing.
Rita: Why?
Callisto: Dancing's very big in Brazil.
Krycek: Well, there might have been some goose-stepping.
Callisto: Never heard of that dance style before.
Rita: Neither have I.
Krycek: It was popular in Germany a while back.
Callisto: Moving on,
Aeryn, whoyoushouldalltotallyvoteformetokissintheGirlkissypoll, was in the not-as-great-as-they-make-out-common room.
Krycek: Why don't we just have all the nominees make out and then vote? More Girlkissy for us, and then the winners get to make out some more.
Callisto: I like the way you think, Kry.
Krycek: Why thank you, Cal.
Rita: ANYWAY.
Blair leaves cake for Ivanova. That sounds naughty.
Krycek: ...Maybe he just left her a cake.
Callisto: Because he's with Molly, and she can snap him like a twig if he screws up.
Krycek: And Xander does some sending and receiving of
e-mail. Because, what, no one else uses e-mail at this school?
Callisto: Apparently not. Hey Kry, did you get that other email from him?
Krycek: I did. Want to fill me in later, if you've got anything planned for that?
Callisto: Sure thing.
Rita: And that
Phoebe person who I find so irritating has an upsetting moment this afternoon.
Callisto: More than
one according to my notes.
Krycek: Really.
Rita: And it seems elsewhere, in happier news,
Bridge is back and attacked by a wee tiny adorable puppy, awwwwww.
Callisto: In other adorable-ness,
Veronica and Piper played with Logan-who-be-a-bunny-again.
Krycek: Exactly how did they play with him?
Callisto: The notes don't say anything about dirty.
Rita: Not when he's a *bunny*, I'd imagine.
Nadia and Walter, though, are both human. Hmm.
Callisto: Yeah, but Walter's got a boyfriend.
Krycek: Victor, isn't it? Did you know he's gay?
Rita: ...no, I could have sworn I heard something to the contrary.
Callisto: Really?
Rita: Yes, really. But I suppose I *could* be wrong.
Callisto: Guess with some people you just never know.
Krycek: The fellatio might be a dead giveaway, however.
Rita: How do you know what that word means?
Krycek: Practice makes perfect.
Callisto: *snickercough*
In the town of minimal excitement
Rita: In town,
Orlin is sad over something I don't care about, and
Lana has to deal with him at work.
Victor is apparently passing 'wisdom' on to others, and
Giles has some video thing.
Callisto: Dirty?
Krycek: What isn't?
Callisto: Also there's a
film about motorcycles and cigarettes playing at the theater,
Janet and Cally have coffee,
some guy has a bath in public...what the frak?
Krycek:
Victor was also seen over at the repair shop,
Ivanova is spotted at All and Sundries, and
the Sin has visitors. Amazing how well a bordello does in a town this small.
Callisto: It has hookers and ninjas, what did you expect?
Krycek: In-house pirates, for a trifecta of ultimate amazingness?
Callisto: There's a pirate there when Barbossa visits Miho?
Krycek: And here we've stepped way beyond my interest in Barbossa's sex life.
Callisto: So mentioning he's the one who kissed Angel earlier is bad?
Rita: Please. Stop. No more. Barbossa...sex...no. Shh. In non-brain-breaking news, several students encountered various visitors from out of town
Krycek: You might want to watch out, Victor;
Walter's meeting older men at the coffee shop.
Callisto: Nadia recieved
shocking news from some trollish guy in the park.
Rita: And
some woman has a thing for pie. Who doesn't?
Krycek: Me.
Callisto: Do Wilbur and Umberto like pie?
Rita: Yes. I wonder if Phoebe and Orlin do, the annoying blighters, as they're harrassed by
some old man.
Krycek: It's probably not the first thing on their mind. Moving on?
Callisto: Veronica takes the bunny to Caritas, much to the glee of
Bel and ...
Weevil?
Callisto: Am I reading this name right?
Krycek: Like the insect? Weevil?
Rita: Yes, I don't understand it either. And
some man is there, too.
Callisto: Yes, Weevil, like the things you get in camp rations if campaign too long.
Krycek: Nasty. But he apparently knows Logan and is gleeful over his bunnification.
Callisto: I think everyone is gleeful over the bunnification.
Rita: I certainly find it amusing.
Krycek: Has Crichton been a bunny yet?
Rita: Not yet, though that's an idea.
Callisto: Maybe we should start a pool, person who guesses the animal of the lesson wins.
Krycek: Because there's only some several million possibilities.
Callisto: Well, if they didn't guess right the money would go to the people running it. Which would be us.
Krycek: Excellent point, Cal.
VILLAINCONWTF
Rita: In other news, the hotel actually seems to have occupants. Of all things.
Krycek: People get nametags. A
man with a noticeable limp, a
little girl with a doll, and
some guy with bad hair among them.
Callisto: As well as some
weird chick with bad makeup and a worse hat,
some woman with freaky hair, a
leather fetishist,
troll guy, and a
clown?
Rita: And...some
other strange people, some
dirty man, the
old guy from before and...bloody hell, what is
Bellatrix Lestrange doing out of prison?
Krycek: A friend of yours, ma'am?
Rita: She was put away several years ago for torture. So, hardly.
Callisto: You don't think you're classes qualify as toture?
Rita: ...
Callisto: In any case, after getting nametags this bunch of loonies have a meet and greet.
Rita: That
trollish fellow talks to the filthy one, the
weird men talk amongst themselves, the
dirty man hits on Bellatrix WHO IS MARRIED LAST I CHECKED, and the boy with the odd hair
makes enemies all around.
Krycek: Maybe if he tried a comb? Some gel?
Callisto:
Weird hat chick seems to make friends with this Bella, but not odd hair boy.
Rita: And the
leather-loving man talks to her too, as well as the
dirty man who has
returned from...bathing, I suppose.
Callisto: And there's a
pie fight of some description.
Krycek: Pie fights. In Fandom. Will wonders never cease.
Callisto: I don't make the news, Kry, I just report it.
Rita: *sigh*
Callisto: Finally, at least according to my notes, the little girl and the freaky hair woman
talk shop.
Krycek: Sometimes I wonder at what exactly is 'newsworthy' here, but then I remember - tiny island, too many people, not enough alcohol.
Callisto: Look at it this way, Kry, at least it's not zombies.
Rita: And it seems the hotel will have a few guests -
Ivanova and
Edmund check them in.
Krycek: I'd almost welcome the zombies at this point. But in the news? Gimpy and Senior Citizen Man
settle in with Pippi's assistance.
Rita: And leather man
mistakes Cameron for Hellspawn. It happens. I can understand that. But the trick is, you see, that the demon child - who the leather-lover meets
later - is far more irritating.
Callisto: John and Cameron both talked with him? Okay guys, I know you like the leather pants, but there's a point where it goes to far. That guys is that point.
Krycek: I'm going to have to agree with Callisto here.
Rita: Yes, seriously. And that's it for the news, thank heaven.
Callisto: You know what, I think we need to end on a song.
Krycek: What song would that be, Callisto?
Callisto: We were drawn from the weeds...
Krycek: *groans* We were brave like soldiers.
Rita: What?
Callisto: Falling down under pale moonlight.
Krycek: You were holding me, like a someone broken.
Rita: I don't understand
Callisto: I couldn't tell you, but I'm telling you now.
Krycek: Just let me hold you while you're falling apart.
Rita: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Callisto: Just let me hold and we'll both fall down.
Kry & Cal: Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same
Rita: ...*click*
