The lingo

Static City slang — fan-lore glossary, all fictional.

The stretch between 2 and 4am when the show is on and the city is honest. “Tell me in the static hour.”

Anyone awake when they shouldn't be. Membership is automatic; meetings are nightly.

Emotions filed by mood instead of dealt with. Lana's system: rainy, neon, static, daybreak.

A beautiful accident — a missed bus, a wrong turn that turns out right. “We took a theo through the old district.”

The city's emotional weather report. Pink = hope, teal = calm. “Tonight's very pink.”

A safe place, from Milo's corner booth. “That group chat is my corner booth.”

How Lana ends every show: “Goodnight, Static City. Or good morning. Whichever one you need it to be.” Fans use it to end long nights.

Sleeping somewhere warm and slightly electrical, like the studio cat. “Took an antenna nap on the dryer.”
