Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large burst of smoke appeared on stage and when it cleared, the handkerchiefs had turned into two cages of doves. One of the doves fell over in the cage, choking on the smoke.

Over the next couple minutes he disappeared cards, linked and unlinked rings, and made his cast say "GO GREMLINS." It was slightly more impressive than should normally be expected from GOB.

When the music wound down, GOB stepped up to the microphone. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and others. Today you will witness the finest example of amateur talent you have ever seen. Unless they suck. If they suck, you should make sure they know they suck. Not just today. Boo them this weekend, too. They'll deserve it for making me a liar."

"Anyway, let's hear it for today's acts!"

"Nice choice of song too. I noticed it seemed to connect with a lot of the folks." Or maybe he was just projecting his own reaction onto others.

"I hope so. It just . . . seemed appropriate, right now."

Tim remembered how she'd said Walter was leaving. he nodded solemnly. "If there's one thing Fandom teaches us, it's how to take care of ourselves. I'm sure he'll be fine."

"He will," Nadia said, without a lot of conviction.

If he wasn't, she probably wouldn't even get a telegram. "Are you going to Jarod's party, later?"

"I dunno, quite possibly, but I got kind of emoly almost drunk last night, so I'm not sure."

"Well, I don't think I'm going to drink, so you can be sober with me and Cally."

Oh yeah, costume. He'd forgotten about that part. "Yeah, me too."
