Audio Broadcast | September 21st

[lonelysmiles]

[Admittedly, Thursday is an odd day to decide to start this on but after recovering from all that work in the reactor, Alastor is a bundle of energy and can't wait any longer.]

[Anyone who picked up a radio after Alastor's announcement last month will have their radio crackle to life at 8 AM on the nose with jazzy music and Alastor singing.]

♪♫ Wake up, honey, I've made you breakfast
Fresh coffee and bagels, too
A new day is waiting for us
We've got lots of fun stuff to do

Let's go to the zoo and feed the monkeys
I can lend 'em your baseball cap
Let's make the day a barrel of fun (And not grow up)
Growing up is just a trap

Don't it seem like a drag (It's a down right drag)
Like putting all of your joy in a big brown bag (don't do it)
I won't listen to any of that yap
No, I'll never grow up (I'll never grow up)
Growing up is just a big fat trap

I take pride in never working a day
Can't see the use of it anyway
Who can think up such a load 'a crap (just grown ups)
Growing up is just a trap ♪♫

[On the bridge, Alastor begins talking, the bridge extending as needed.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in to 666 AM with me, your host and local Radio Demon, Alastor!

I'm pleased to announce that Reverein's own radio facilities are now officially open! But as I always say, where's the fun in a radio with only one channel? Or one performer for that matter? So feel free to drop by and try your hand at ways to entertain your friends and neighbors, maybe just advertise your local business on the air for those who might know! Reverein is starting to get quite large, after all!

I'll be broadcasting on this frequency with news, interviews, music, and so on. Feel free to contact me either in person or via journal if you'd be interested in being on the air but aren't quite ready to jump into the pool with both feet. Or even if you just have a particular song you'd like to request!

In the meantime, enjoy the music!

[And with that, he's going to go back into singing.]

♪♫ Well, don't it seem like a drag (It's a big fat drag)
Ohh, like putting all of your joy in a big brown bag (don't do it)
No, I won't listen to any of that yap
Growing up is just a trap (Growing up is a big fat trap)
Oh yeah, well growing up is just a trap, ohh (Growing up is a big fat trap)
Growing up is just a trap ♪♫

nice. Some recipes would be kinda cool. I'm gettin good at cookin so maybe I can come help some too?

[lonelysmiles]

Does that mean you want me to share some of my recipes on the air or that you want to host your own cooking show?

[mansbestend]

I dunno if i'm 'cooking show' material but I'd fuck with some recipe tips

[lonelysmiles]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Care to explain?

[Old man doesn't understand slang.]

That’s pretty amazing to hear. Perhaps some performances can liven things up on the radio. In addition to considering making radio plays, I could make occasional violin performances if I have the free time.

[lonelysmiles]

Absolutely, my dear! Perhaps you could scout around for an accompanist for pieces that require the piano in addition to the violin.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh yes! That would be marvelous. I’m always looking forward to finding a fellow musician to play some music with me for some time.

Finding a good pianist shouldn’t be too hard to find in town, I might even consider hosting a talent search as well.

[lonelysmiles]

Well, if you ever need someone to temporarily fill in while you search, I know my way around the ivories!

[dualtiful]

Quite fascinating! To see such technological advances in the short time I have been here as proven to be rather educational.

The music was certainly a pleasure to wake up too, as well.

[lonelysmiles]

The radio has always been my area of expertise. It was just waiting until the right minds could reproduce the technology here.

Why, thank you for the compliment! I've been eager to perform that for weeks now!

[dualtiful]

In a dreamworld one would suppose it a realm of endless possibilities- full glad am I that one of yours came into fruition.

That was you? I must compliment you then on how lovely the sound was. Will this be an everyday occurrence?

[lonelysmiles]

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to performing on the regular between any news I can pass along.

[Shameless narcissism? You bet. He'll own up to it if pressed.]

It certainly feels good to stretch my abilities again. Reverein is such a pleasant place but I missed the airwaves.

[And knowing VOX isn't going to hijack it makes it all the sweeter.]

[songbird_slayer]

I'm listening right now! This is fantastic, congratulations, sweetheart!

[lonelysmiles]

Why, thank you, Miss Madhuri! Ah, I've so missed my preferred stage! And I look forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with to help fill the airwaves!

[Hint hint hinty hint.]

[songbird_slayer]

Oh? Any takers so far?

[lonelysmiles]

None yet, unfortunately. Though Denji did suggest basic cooking tips be shared over the radio. Apparently he can't even boil an egg.

[Which is just sad.]

Sender: Hu Tao

[localweirdo]

Oh what a shame that growing up is a trap.
For it will all be a wrap
It seems like a big drab.

[lonelysmiles]

Very well put! And, honestly, adulthood really isn't as grand as it's made out to be when we're young.

[localweirdo]

Especially when there are so many responsibilities we have to do!

Aiyah, I don't even know how I manage it half of the time!

[itsytitsyspider]

[So the dick disappears on him and doesn't hear or see him for two weeksand this is how he finds out he asshole isn't dead? He wasn't worried.]

So this is what ya been up to. Should have known it was something like this. Not even a lousy goodbye.

You better have your own studio setup else where cause I already remodeled your room.

[lonelysmiles]

You did WHAT?

[No. No, he couldn't have done that. Did he get rid of the flower crown Namine gave him? It was in such a nice display and everything!!!]

[itsytitsyspider]

You can read, right gramps? Put a stripper pole riiiiiight down the middle.

Sender: Isabela

[senorita_perfecta]

I suppose that my flower shop could use a lot of airwave promotion on the radio at any time. Doesn’t hurt to get the word out there.

[lonelysmiles]

Of course, my dear! We can discuss what you might want read whenever you'd like.

[senorita_perfecta]

Why thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it a lot. I have some things to be in the promotion although I do seem to have a problem in finalizing the whole thing.
