So Tamsin hadn't actually lived in Europe for a long time. That didn't mean she didn't feel some - ugh - affection for some of it. And its weirder bits.

... which was to say that yes, she was watching Eurovision today. She'd even stocked up on the traditional Loads of Booze for the occasion, and she was bopping along - IN PRIVATE - to last year's winner. Plus this thing was better with company anyway, so a few hours before the whole thing started, she sent off a tweet.

Cara didn't pay any attention to social media, so she was surprised as anyone to find herself being by herded towards Tamsin's a bunch of squirrels who ever even drunker (and more glittery) than usual.

"I'm not even from Europe," she protested, only to be greeted by more chittering. "Or there!"

Thanks a lot, Leroy.

"I work at the bar," Cara pointed out. "And they didn't lead with that."

Glitter, they'd been focused on the glitter.

"...what?"

Cara knew not of the glorious insanity that was Eurovision.

"The song was that bad?"

Cara really didn't know about Eurovision.

And a pathological need to understand 'why?' had Cara coming inside. "Who does that?"

It was possible that would only leave Cara even more confused than before.

"And people watch this?"

And drunk, and judge. So you'll be fine there.

"And where do the Australians come in?"

According to maps they weren't even on the right side of the world.

Given this island's current position, anything was possible. "So long as they don't change their minds and move it near here."

Cara had a...thing about Australians.

"Good. Weirdoes."

They were weird and they mangled their vowels like she did when she got upset.

"I'll take your word for it." Democracy, not really a thing in the Midlands, and she hadn't exactly been taking civics classes here.

"I...what?" She couldn't even appreciate the inexplicable skirts.

"Yes."

Maybe if she was drunk enough it'd start making sense.

Cara gratefully took the glass, and immediately downed more of it than she normally would. "So it's crazy people singing, covered in glitter?"

This would explain why the squirrels liked it.

Richard must never find out about this. He'd think it was a brilliant idea.

"Don't they just vote for themselves?"

No, Cara, don't.

"Isn't she supposed to have twirling ninjas?"

Cara's musical knowledge was limited but some things were hard to miss.

Just say no to glitter, kids.
