WHO: Alfie Solomons, Gemini de Mille
WHERE: Maurtia Falls
WHEN: Mid-March
WHAT: Criminals meet up
WARNINGS: n/a; will edit if anything comes up
[Alfie has never gotten to the point of actually enjoying his job, but there's a certain satisfaction in keeping it anyway - even though, by now, he has enough money and contacts that he doesn't really have to. His show has developed something of a cult following among people who like weird things, which is a little annoying, but they still doesn't detract from his overall message - that he is an imPort who is unhappy with the state of things, and that he isn't interested in playing along. It's a small gesture, and he knows it, but it's satisfying. He plans to keep it up until he gets fired.
Today's recipe is blueberry muffins. He talks about how many cultures have a tradition of baking things like coins or jewelry into their pastries, the idea being that whoever gets the piece with the foreign object inside it will have some sort of special status - a prize, a favor from someone else at the dinner, good luck for the rest of the year. He tells his audience that this is a very important tradition to him and his family at home (a lie), and that he would feel closer to his audience if they did something similar at their next meal (also a lie). He suggests bearing balls, because he is a businessman and they represent industry. It's an important tradition, he says, and he hopes they're not laughing, because he would be offended.
Really, he just likes the idea of listeners very seriously baking tiny metal balls into their cakes. Painstakingly trying to eat around them. Grimacing when they realize they've accidentally swallowed one. If even one person ends up doing it, he'll be happy.
He leaves the studio soon after his broadcast ends, wrapped up in his coat with his hat on this head. He never hangs around for long, afterwards. He's got places to go.]
