Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale

Relationship/Characters: Intern Senna (OC); Cecil/Carlos

Author's summary: A scheduling error prevents Cecil from broadcasting Welcome to Night Vale in person, and with the Sheriff's Secret Police insisting that he exit the radio station immediately, he has no choice but to leave his notes with an intern and hope for the best. The intern -- brand new and untested -- attempts to provide Night Vale with news while dodging Station Management and wielding phone calls, starting with Cecil and ending with Carlos.

Also featuring: Steve Carlsberg, the City Council, and the Night Vale Spiderwolves.

Content notes: no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.

Length: 18 minutes, 56 seconds.

Reader's notes: I was in the mood to do a Night Vale episode, and creating Intern Senna out of her words and the context of Night Vale was a really fun challenge.

Thanks to ester_inc for patiently answering all my questions about sound effects. My interpretation of the text is, for better or worse, my own responsibility.

The weather is "Tallulah" by Company of Thieves, which is available on iTunes and Amazon. For those with accessibility concerns, the only music playing under speech is during the credits, which are reproduced behind the cut.

Feedback and constructive criticism: better than especially radiant smiles.
