Fandom Radio [Friday, February 3, 2012]
Good morning, Fandom! Today there are decidedly fewer dolls around--I know, I looked--
*chittering*
Fine, I made the squirrels look, but it's fine today. It's safe to come down from your beds--or the desk in the library, Mr. Kaplan.
It's a beautiful, crisp sunny day this morning, so put on your gloves before heading to class.
And speaking of classes, Miss Pie was all set to introduce her students to a place called Canterlot--ooh, do you have a Prince Arthur there too?--before she spotted some of the dolls, screamed for quite a while and fainted. Oh dear. The students got to explore Canterlot for a bit before facing off against the dolls, who were really quite disconcerting. Miss Electroclash offered students the option of fleeing or watching a movie in Superheroing, and Mr. Skywalker, after telling his students to yell if they spotted any dolls, led a discussion about the nature of goodness, and whether being forced to be good actually makes you good.
...that's a surprisingly interesting discussion and not overly focused on gloom and destruction, which is rather unexpected. Sea Life learned about seaweed, where some was passed around for them to try--as food? Please don't eat seaweed.
There were teachers fighting back some of the dolls today, like Lord Lannister, who--oh dear--decapitated one and then locked himself in his office, and Miss Dennis, who stabbed one in the head. Is anyone else concerned that our teachers are so violent?
In the dormitories, the sorority met yesterday and we worked on knitting socks for the poor soldiers at home who are freezing on the fronts in France. Miss Fabray and Miss Edison talked about Miss Fabray's acceptance into Yale--congratulations, Quinn!---and the creepy dolls, Mr. Matt Murdock stopped by briefly because he was being attacked by one of the dolls, and Miss Logan was displeased by the activity we'd picked to do. Next time you can make baby clothes for starving Belgians if knitting was too complicated.
There were more dolls in our rooms as well, and no one seemed to have reacted particularly well to finding them. Lady Daenerys threw some in her closet and blocked the door with a chair, Miss Daniels decapitated some in her room and then sat around and sharpened her knives--really, there is something quite wrong with some of you--until Mr. Logan stopped by to wonder about the knives. Miss Raven--welcome back!--wondered if the doll in her room was a new roommate, and Jims was practically chewing on one of the dolls which was disgusting. Fortunately Mr. Wyndam-Pryce paid a call and was most obliging in helping to make sure Jims' new little friend stayed out in the hallway where it belonged. The Duchess of Sto Helit--
*chittering*
Truly?
*more chittering*
-- reasoned with one until it behaved, and Mr. Wyndam-Pryce wondered if that could work on all of them. It certainly sounds more civilised than cutting their heads off. Which I see you also did, Mr. Wyndam-Pryce. Miss Korlov was snuggling with one of the dolls in her room--oh, that's so sad! I'm sure I can find you a more suitable companion to hug if you're lonesome. Perhaps a kitten?--and Miss Forbes made Mr. Black wake up and deal with one of the dolls hiding in her closet.
Miss Stewart found a dozen dolls hosting a tea party with... blood-red soup...in the third floor common room, and I think I just got the creeps. Miss Puckett didn't seem overly concerned by the dolls and went on to drink the soup, and Mr. Nelson stopped in with a new ventroloquist's doll to show Miss Stewart a puppet show. This was probably the wrong day to do that, Mr. Nelson.
There were dolls in town, too, where Mr. Summers woke up to dolls trying to hug him around the neck and Miss Pryde decided that with a doll in her bedroom, she could just sleep on the sofa forever. It was the first day of rehearsals at the Boards and it seemed like the dolls were also dramatically inclined as they were there too. There was mingling time, with water, lemons and...crowbars...for students to use. Miss West wanted to walk back to the dormitories with Miss Edison since she'd learned that the dolls bit, Miss Fabray learned that she has the first solo of the show, Miss [Kenzi's last name] learned about the dolls from Mr. Starsmore, Miss Adams told him that she had been gremlin-bit the day she auditioned and wasn't certain the play was really for her, and Miss Fitzpatrick and Miss Logan both complained about the smallness of their roles. There was just no pleasing you today, was there, Miss Logan? Miss [Kenzi's last name] was chased by a doll and fell from the stage. Oh, heavens!
Miss West was terrorized by a doll at Groovy Tunes, and the younger Mr. Stark came to the rescue and then got yelled at for sending Mr. Brink to her pride meeting. Mr. Aaron was defending the Wellspring Arms with a sword and told the mayor about the infestation. The mayor then went out to shoot a lot of them.
I think the word doll has stopped having any meaning for me. There were more dolls at the Magic Box until they attacked Miss Maclay and she melted them with fire, Miss Thropp was too busy figuring out what a Squishy machine was to notice if there were dolls at Turtle & Canary, and Sov was looking for presents at Stark Industries to take home.
You're leaving? How terrible! Safe journey!
Finally, Miss [Kenzi's last name] seemed to have recovered from her tumble from the stage because she was in Caritas last night with a lighter as she prepared to fight off more dolls. Miss December--a new name! Welcome to town!--was surprised to see how young a bartender Miss [Kenzi's last name] was, and learned that the dolls aren't usually here.
And finally, Miss Scully was fending off dolls at the clinic as well.
But again, they aren't here any longer, or at least aren't attacking if they are, so do try to have a good weekend, Fandom!
