fandomhigh | Summer Games of Harmony, Wednesday, period 1

Pinkie honestly did not have any idea what was bothering people on the island this week. After all, she'd woken up on Sunday from a lovely dream about hanging out with all her friends back in Equestria as though none of them had ever gone off to teach all about Friendship in other worlds. And now she got to be in Fandom and teaching again!

Today's class met in the gym once more, where Pinkie had arranged eight chairs facing out in a wide circle, marked out on the floor with tape. Pinkie herself stood at the center, near what looked like an old gramophone.

"Welcome back, everypony! I'm so happy to see all of you, it's like we haven't had class in ages!"

Just like that, in fact.

"Today I've got an extra special favorite game of mine for us all to play: musical chairs! Everyone make a circle around these chairs here, and when I play the music, you're going to dance all the way around it! No fair stopping in front of any chairs, that's cheating. When I stop the music, everyone has to grab a seat! But as you can see, there's not enough chairs for everybody, so whoever doesn't get one is out! Then, when I start the music up again, you have to get up and dance, and I'll take away a chair and we'll keep going until there's only one chair left and we find out who's the winner!"

Yes, she was way, way too excited about this game of musical chairs. Especially for someone not physically constructed to actually SIT in a chair. Not that this stopped anypony back in Ponyville.

Pinkie started up the music. "So let's get dancing! Woooooo!"

[ooc: OCD is up! I will admit, I'm kind of hoping for fights over chairs.]

I AM SORRY FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO KEEP GOING TONIGHT AND THAT MAKES ME SAD AND SORRY.

It's all because I just can't bring myself to pay money to be shown ads.

WELL. I SUGGEST A LOT OF ALCOHOL IF IT'S THIS WEEK'S EPISODE YOU'RE WAITING ON.

ALCOHOL AND SOMETHING TO CLING TO.

THANKFULLY NO, I AM NOT THERE YET. I AM STILL CATCHING UP.

Though this means I'm not reading the fanfic yet, either. DAMN YOU, MTV, DELAYING THE STREAMING OF THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON WHEN THE REST OF IT APPEARS TO STREAM JUST FINE DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE.

OH GOD, I KNOW. I was lucky to find it all On Demand on Comcast before I started watching it live.

WHAT EPISODE ARE YOU ON?

EPISODE SIX. And okay, my eyes are crossing at my own caps lock so. I was just saying that I was enjoying how they were carefully rationing out little bits of information and characterization at a really effective pace, and then I clicked the link for the next episode and MTV.com said it wouldn't be available until August 2nd.

WHY NOT? I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.

They hate all joy in the world.

It's a remarkably well written show for, you know, MTV. I'm so excited that the next season is going to follow the same 12 episode story-arc model as the first two.

It really is, and the production values are fantastic. I have some quibbles here and there with the direction they've been taking certain characters (which they're mostly doing better on in season 2 than 1, anyway), but the storytelling is just really well put together. I'm not often impressed by how a television show handles its mytharc, but this one is really very cohesive and well paced.

IF THEY'D SHOW IT TO ME.

*shakes fist at MTV and hopes that "August 2" means "the second the clock goes to midnight, EST", but suspects it really probably doesn't.*

I'm really enjoying the fact that stuff happens off camera. Things are easily laid out for the viewers to know 'OH, THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE' so I'm always eager for the next episode.

Catch up sooooon. Only two more episodes left and I'm all worried about who will die. THEY TOLD US SOMEONE WILL DIE. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?

TO MAKE YOU CAPSLOCK AT PEOPLE.

And, yep, I'm already making a mental list of of "IF THEY KILL _____ THIS SHOW AND I ARE OVER!" characters.

Okay, so actually there is only one character on this list. Maybe two. BUT I SHOULD NOTE THAT I HAVE ONLY BEEN WATCHING THIS SHOW FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS.

It sucks you in and never lets you gooooo.

It only took me one day to recruit the next person down the line, too! IT'S LIKE A REALLY EFFECTIVE CULT.

God help us all.
