WTNV quick rundown - 38 - Orange Grove

Welcome back, the 3 or so people who give me a like on these things, I see you, I love you (platonic) , hello.

You take the good. You take the bad. You take them both, and there you have spiders crawling out of a red velvet cupcake. Welcome to Night Vale.

John Peters (you know, the farmer?) reports an absolutely amazing crop of various oranges this year. He is looking for a particular orange that holds secrets to what is behind the old oak door he found in the desert. Anyone who touches his oranges begins to blink rapidly in and out of reality.

*Cecil asks Carlos (his boyfriend, the scientist -wink- ) about the oranges, since oranges are not native to a desert climate. Carlos says he doesn't study nature or plants, just science. He does confirm that it's very unlikely John Peters grew an orange grove at least naturally.

Despite this, the Ralph's now only sells JP's oranges and juice made from those oranges. Adam Bair, who works there, is seen taking endless oranges from his pocket.

Intern Maureen tells us that JP has actually been gone for 4 months now and was last seen by Dana (who is also gone, and still able to text him despite being without a phone charger or able to pay her phone bills for 8 months) so it's unsure where JP even is. Carlos clears this up by confirming that JP is in the House That Doesn't Exist so the JP in NV is not the real JP. Intern Maureen then drinks some of the orange juice and starts to flicker in and out of reality until she finally completely disappears.

'John Peters' (you know, the imposter?) then appears in the studio and attacks Cecil. He tries to get Cecil to eat an orange and Cecil unsuccessfully tries to talk him down. So instead, he smacks him with his phone which enough to knock Not-JP out (after Cecil decides that texting an assurance to Carlos that if he doesn't come home it's because he doesn't exist any more, not because he doesn't love Carlos or want to hang out tonight).

The SSP start to arrest not-JP, but Strex stops them. Daniel gives Cecil a disapproving smile. Strex has the majority stock in the orange juice (which has also taken the carpet where it was spilled) and is recalling it and all related products due to -dark red smudge-.

Cecil and the real JP apparently hang out sometimes, being in the same bowling league, Cecil attending JP's old wood shop class, standing silent and trance like in front of the Ancient Chalk Spire (predecessor to the Brown Stone Spire) with their mouths frothing, minds spinning and ventricles showing - you know, fond memories.

*“As far as your other question goes, let's stay home tonight. We ate out last night. Plus, there's a new documentary about scatterplot matrices on Netflix I've been wanting to see. Also The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is on TBS again. We could re-watch that. I'll make pasta, if you can pick up some-” Et cetera et cetera. Carlos goes on about weekend bowling plans.... You don't need all this. Okay I think that's all he had about the orange trees. I do hope we watch Liberty Valance, though. I love that film. Awww~ however they end up not having pasta, instead there is left over falafel and an unopened bag of nutmeg seeds to snack on. Carlos ends his text with 'xoxo' AWWWW

He also ends it with a curiously detailed emoji of a two dinosaurs chasing a car.

Cecil apologizes for saying that anything is objectively real, as our perceptions of reality and things being real are only personal.

'Stamps.com. You live in a dying world. We love you.'

It is confirmed that City Council does not go by 'they/them' because they are non-binary, but because they are literally many people/entities merged together or a hivemind. They argue with each other when a smokescreen trick they try to use to get away because they are 'just can't be here any more' fails, instead of speaking in unison as usual.

And for now, let me make my own special announcement: Cecil Palmer would like to not be late for dinner. Stay tuned next for an hour that will feel like minutes but will in actuality take weeks. Good night, Night Vale. Good night.
