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 ♪♫

[When the deer came rushing how, he would find the place, if anything, untouched. Minus it being a little messy here and there like someone couldn't bring themselves to tidy up. But to his relief, his room remained the same, not a hair out of place.

The spider however could be found laying on his bed, belly down with his journal opened in front of him.]

That was fast.

[Angel moved to sit up to stare flatly at Alastor through his open door.]

[lonelysmiles]

[Alastor's ears flatten as he grins at Angel.]

I assume that was punishment for something.

[itsytitsyspider]

[Something? Something?! This unbelievable asshole.]

Geez, Al, now why would I go and do a thing like that? What could you have possibly done.

[lonelysmiles]

I don't believe I've done anything to go out of my way to annoy you recently.

[Give him a moment. He'll start to get an idea.]

Ah. This is because of that incident earlier this month, isn't it?

[itsytitsyspider]

Really Al? Is that all ya got to say?

[Angel doesn't know why he's surprised by this. Was he the only one that thought that they were getting closer? Their so-not-date? The beach? Fuck Angel, you always do this to yourself. You're so goddamn stupid.]

Well whatever. Not like I care if ya do end up disappearin' for good.

[lonelysmiles]

[Okay. That expression he's starting to learn. It's an expression he really doesn't like on Angel's face.]

[He remembers Eustace's insistence on going to tell his wife that they were heading out to the Wastelands. It's not the same situation, but...]

I'm sorry, Angel. I should have at least sent a message through the journal. That was inconsiderate of me.

[itsytitsyspider]

[Something in his chest tightens at the apology. Shit. He doesn't care. Fuck. Why does he care? Looking away Angel crossed his arms, gripping tightly at his elbows.]

Do whatever the hell you want. You do that anyways. Just next time, you will find a stripper pole in your room.

[lonelysmiles]

Duly noted.

[He's assuming that means he's forgiven...? Maybe?]

[Relationships Roommates are hard.]

Perhaps I could make some amends with dinner?

[itsytitsyspider]

[Oh no, he wasn't going to get off that easy. But hey, Angel wasn't going to turn down having Alastor wait on him.]

What kind of cheap slut do ya take me for? That's a nice start but don't think I don't see what you're trying to do, Al.

[lonelysmiles]

And what would that be, my dear?

[Alastor bats his eyelashes at Angel.]
