there may be words

Mandatory note: I'm not actually caught up… nor am I not not caught up either, by dint of the extremely slapdash way in which I listen to Night Vale episodes these days (or, as I put to cortue, the non-scientific method of hopping backwards a couple episodes from the present until I hit upon a sufficiently intriguing one to start from).

I am vaguely aware of the ongoing arc though! And since it's conveniently February i.e. the start of this year's run, that's an easy pick for a starting point at least.

• 201 - The Delivery Man: Pretty classic standalone episode! With a peppering of the Bigger Plot, which I didn't fully absorb (having listened to it while working) and am therefore now reading the transcript for. Favourite quote: ( spoilers )

• 202 - The Day After the Day: The beloved (literal) return of Valentine's Day… and a strangely familiar audio puzzle LOL. Basically all fun segments today, which is great. Also, nice weather vibes! With a smiley face. Favourite quote: ( spoilers + ETA from director's notes )

• 203 – The Kareem Nazari Show: Subheading, the triumphant return of the Michigan brick joke. No Cecil, but I do enjoy a good fourth-wall take on Night Vale weirdness! Nice chill weather! And also what felt like a sort-of-acknowledgement of what it means to keep engaging in fandom even as the world does its level best to fall down around us. Favourite quote: ( spoilers )

Yet more prompt fills from today's 3 Sentence Ficathon harvest, previous archive posts here and here!

A half-sized batch of four ficlets this time, all Guardian… and all from wildly different AUs! Including yet another crack crossover, because nobody stopped me least of all myself. Please fasten your seat belts when the captain turns the light on, et cetera.
