Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*At common room, waiting for the elevator. Oh sure Beth...
*Elevator arrives, we get in, ride up and get out on the main floor.

Seymour: Good day Mr. Count, Ed... Oh hi Ms. Beth... *Waving goodbye with his trunk.
So Beth, find any good penguins lately?

*The group heads off to Everybody Eats.

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: Mmmm good food.

Grover: I just love how you cook those hot dogs.

Maurice: I got to help him too.

Grover: You did good too Maurice.

Maurice: Thank you Grover. Glad I could help out.

Thanks Maurice.

Herry: Kyle what is it you do?

What do you mean?

Herry: As in making this one monstrous meal so good?

I guess with love.

Grover: Well you did good job, Kyle.

Thanks you guys. I don't know what it is with monsters and them loving their mac and cheese and hot dogs mixed in a bowl with mushed up bread. But they enjoy it.

Cookie M: Me just might have to say, "This better then cookies!"

Everyone gasps

Cookie M: Nah! Me still can't give up cookies for this stuff. But still good to eat. *gobbles more Monster Meal down*

Everyone relief

[christyb]

*mumbling is heard outside*

Skeeter: I told you we should have moved in yesterday.

Christyb: Oh yeah? And what car may I ask would have held all your sports equipment besides my Rodeo? I had to get it licensed yesterday.

Skeeter: Yeah, but we're late!

Christyb: Scooter didn't tell you huh? These guys are used to me being late.

Skeeter: *mumbling* That brother of mine didn't tell me everything he knew like he was supposed too.

Christyb: Oh c'mon. This is gonna be great!

Skeeter: *cheers up* Nothing like making an entrance! I remember this one time I upstaged Piggy you see we were.....

*voices drift off as we disappear into our room*

[Ruahnna]

(Last night after the party.)

(Catherine, Piggy, Kermit and Fozzie step off the elevator together. Catherine moves off toward their room, but Kermit and Piggy pause, looking at each other shyly.)
Kermit: Um, Fozzie--wait here for a moment while I walk Piggy to her door.
Fozzie: But I thought--
Kermit: (interrupting quickly) Just for a minute--I'll be right back to get you.
(They walk to room 20, which Catherine has unlocked and entered. Kermit starts to speak, then hesitates and stops. Piggy reaches out and takes his hand.)
Piggy: I'm glad vous are here again this year, Kermie.
Kermit: Me, too, Piggy. I was, um, I was hoping, that we could, um--"
Piggy: (breathlessly) Yes?
Kermit: I was wondering if it would be okay with you if we saw a little more of each other this semester than we did last semester. Do you, um, think that would be okay?
Piggy: (blushing) That would be okay with Moi.
Kermit: Great. (leans forward suddenly and gives Piggy an extremely chaste little kiss on the cheek) Um, well, I'd better go get Fozzie so we can find our room.
(Piggy watches him go for a moment, then turns around and dashes into the room.)
Piggy: Catherine! Oh, Catherine--he just, he just kissed me and asked if we could spend more time together this semester!
Catherine: (very pleased) I take it that was acceptable to you?
Piggy: (growling) Acceptable! Are you kidding?
Catherine: Well, good, because-- (There is a knock on the door.) Oh, Piggy--that must be our new roomies.
Piggy: (sulkily) Swell.
Catherine: Now Piggy--promise you'll be nice.
Piggy: (mumbling)
Catherine: Speak up, dear. (There is another tentative knock.)
Piggy: Oh all right! I'll be nice to the new roomies.
Catherine: (smugly) Glad to hear you say that. (Opens the door to find Kermit and Fozzie standing on the welcome mat. Fozzie waves. Kermit smiles.) Hey there, roomies. Come on in.
(For a moment, Piggy just stares, then her blue eyes narrow and she looks at Catherine suspiciously.)
Piggy: You knew--you knew they were going to be our new roomies?
Catherine: Yep.
Piggy: (whirling and glaring at Kermit) And you--you knew all along.
Kermit: Hey Piggy.
Piggy: Don't you "Hey Piggy" me, you--
Kermit: Don't be mad. I just, um WE just wanted to make sure that you weren't, you know, going to be upset if Fozzie and I moved in.
Piggy: Moved in! (She is gearing up for a big meltdown when the implications of the situation occur to her. She stops suddenly and adopts a very meek demeanor, which fools no one--at least, no one in this room.) So you and Fozzie are going to be living here with, um, Moi and Catherine?
Fozzie: (tentatively, maybe a little defiantly) She invited us.
Kermit: Yeah--we thought this arrangement might be, um, nice.
Piggy: Oh. Nice.
Piggy and Kermit are suddenly staring at each other in a very friendly way. Catherine steps between them.
Catherine: Okay--ground rules. Kermit, you and Fozzie have rooms over here. (Takes them over and shows them two clean, pleasant rooms, then walks them back to the entryway.) Piggy and I have rooms on the other side. This (indicating the large living area) is coeducational space. The rooms are not. Do I make myself plain?
Kermit and Piggy: Of course, sure, um yeah.
Fozzie: What's coeducational mean? Are we going to learn something here in our rooms?
Catherine: (muttering to self) Not if I can help it.
Kermit: It means you can have boys and girls in the same space.
Fozzie: Oh. But what if Ma comes to see me? Can't she see my room?
Catherine: Moms are always allowed, Fozzie. Okay. Well, look, guys, I'm sorry your stuff hasn't come over yet, but we've got two very cushy comfy recliners right over here. Think you guys could bunk down here for the night until your stuff comes tomorrow?
Fozzie: I could sleep anywhere, I'm so tired.
Kermit: Oh, sure. When you grow up in a swamp, you can sleep anywhere.
Catherine: Good. Once your stuff comes, we'll get the room set up, okay?
(Fozzie is yawning almost constantly now. Catherine puts her arm around Piggy's shoulder.) C'mon Piggy--let's go catch some zzzzs. (At first, Piggy doesn't move, looking at Kermit. He is looking back. At last, she turns and smiles up at Catherine.)
Piggy: Let's turn in. I'm ready now. (They start toward their rooms.) And Catherine?
Catherine: Yes, Piggy?
Piggy: You're forgiven.
Catherine: (with affectionate sarcasm) Oh, thank goodness. I was sooo worried....

[The Count]

OK... Looks like Cath's got things well in hand up above. Though I wonder why she took the elevator, her room's on the main floor, no elevator necessary to reach it...
Count: Unless she vas on one of the other floors first.
Fright. You have a point. Well, the B-Day calendar's almost finished.
Count, with Fatatita in his lap: Who's missing?
Well... Still need Emmett's, Rowlf's, Scooter's... And then there are our pets like Batty and Fatatita.
*She perks up upon hearing her name.
Yes, you're part of our little brood here.
Also need Radar's, Bernice's, and Chucky Sue's. Maybe one of our good friends can help with original airdates of when each of these appeared on TV or in their respective Muppet specials.
They'll come through though. Oh, and our room descript will be posted, eventually.

[The Count]

Mmm, feels so good.
Count: Vhat does?
Finished my story, A Muppet Family Gathering.
Count: You did?
Yep... And went on a bit of a nagging spree to get some more of all those great stories we enjoy here in the reading room.
Count: Ah... Then there'll be more stories for me to count, and read of course.
Yep... And now I can focus on other projects I've got cookin'.
Count: Like vhat?
You'll have to find out. Say, did Bryan get back home?
Count: Not sure, haven't seen him today.
Well, hope he gets here soon... That, and I'm worried his new roomies Bert and Ernie might've gotten lost on the way to the dorms.
Count: Don't vorry, they'll show up.
Sure hope so. Come on, let's go get some dinner and watch our Saturday evening Toonami and Jettix feeds.

[Katzi428]

Hey Prairie & Gaffer...I have surprises for both of you.
Prairie:Really?*perking up a bit since she's missed her friend Rosita* What is it?
*Gaffer looks at me curiously*
*a knock is heard at the door*
*trying to hide a smile* Hey Prairie...why don't you get that?
Prairie:Sure...but what's the... *opening the door*ROSITA!!What are youdoing here? :excited:
Rosita:Nice way to greet your new dormie, Prairie!*hugging Prairie & then me*
Prairie:New roomie?YAAY!!!! *then turning to me*So Rosita's the surprise?
Yep!:)
Prairie:Oh Kathy...THANK YOU!*throwing her arms around me*
You're welcome Prairie *hugging her back* And no Gaffer....I didn't forget you,sweet kitty. The Count and Ed have their cat friend Fattita downstairs in their room!
*Gaffer runs around purring and meowing excited ly*

[furryredmonster]

Room #22: Kendra (furryredmonster) and Elmo and Dorothy, Elmo's goldfish.
*Handing key to Kendra. Your room's here next to Catherine's, the last one in the corner. You can have Dorothy with you, it won't count against your roommate total.

Thanks! Well, here we are, Elmo. Do you want to unpack?
Elmo: Sure! Elmo is so excited to be here!
Me too.
-Both go into room to unpack-

[The Count]

*Hearing commotion upstairs. Mmhm, guess Kendra and Elmo arrived, well that's a bit of good news fright there.
*Opens door so Fatatatita can go outside to play with Gaffer. Oh and Kath, we're on the same floor in the same hall. When you get achance, I'd need Rosita's B-day to add to the calendar. Talk to Bryan, he might have it.
*Closing door. OK, now back to some good ol' Saturday night fare.

[Katzi428]

.
*Opens door so Fatatatita can go outside to play with Gaffer. Oh and Kath, we're on the same floor in the same hall. When you get achance, I'd need Rosita's B-day to add to the calendar. Talk to Bryan, he might have it.

Went there/did that Ed.Thanks!I just PMed him & am waiting for an answer

[RedDragon]

Nyz: <painting large red dragon (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/RedDragon547/drake.jpg) on the wall>

Mokey: Oooo! That's very pretty Nyssa.

Nyz: Thank you Mokey.

Ludo: Draaaaagoooon...

Nyz: Yup!

Jabber: I'm sort of dragon-ish...

Nyz: <comtemplates Jabberwock's appearance> Yeah...You're right.

Everyone: <nods thoughtfully>

[Leyla]

<Leyla is holding a clipboard and directing monsters who are helping with the larger pieces of furniture. Around her is a flurry of activity as Wanda, Hilda and Jimmy move into their individual rooms and get organized. Robot Kermit's head is visible peeking silently out of a cardboard box. The sight of the empty eyes gets disturbing after a while, so Leyla drapes a powder blue dish cloth over his head.>

Leyla: I'll get to you later. Wanda, I think this CD belongs to you...Schubert's Unfinished Symphony?

<Wanda darts out of her room and snatches it, then promptly bursts into tears.>
Wanda: Wa-- He gave this to me after Kermit fired us the first time! See the card?

Leyla <reading>: "To Wanda, remember, true genius is always recognized eventually." Aw... that's sweet.

Wanda: And now it's all I have left of him! <Wailing screechily, she barrels back into the room and shuts the door.

<Hilda taps Leyla on the shoulder, startling her slightly>
Hilda: Why did you invite her to be our roommate again?

Leyla <shifting awkwardly>: Well, she just seemed so lonely and heartbroken.

Hilda: Oh, is that all?

Leyla: Well, that and she showed up on my doorstep as I was getting ready to drive here and wouldn't let go of my leg. I'm sure she'll feel better once we're settled in.

Hilda: <clearly skeptical> Yes, of course.

<Jim Henson Farmer wanders in.>
Jimmy: "Say, have you got a kid sister? I'd like to take her driving... every night."

Leyla: Well, no, I don't have an actual kid sister, although, I feel like Lisa's my kid sister here on MC. On the other hand, she's also my beloved mentor. It's all rather baffling. In any case, I think I'm gonna play Kermit and protect my sister from the likes of you scoundrels. So, stay away from her! Your box of logs and old slippers is right over there. And don't go building any fires!

<Jim grabs his box and slinks off> <Hilda coughs politely>
Hilda: And, um, he wouldn't let go of your leg either?

Leyla <grins> No, no. I invited him. Conflict is the spice of life! Or, of writing anyway, speaking of which, have you seen where I left my laptop? I've got bits and pieces of story strewn all over the place.

Hilda: <dryly.> It's in there. <She gestures to the cage, where the ushy gushy girl is curled up around it happily.

Leyla: Ah... well, my fault for putting some of Ru's best work on there. I'll get it back from her as soon as I find my crowbar.

Hilda:<thoughtfully> And why did you bring that robot thing with you?

Leyla:<shrug> Well, I'm very fond of Kermit, you see, but I'm also madly ushy gushy about him and Piggy.

Hilda: Mad... would certainly be the word.

Leyla: Right, exactly. Madly, desperately, <gets dreamy eyed> passionately... <blinks> Sorry. Anyway, he's the next best thing, and oh, so very cute! I'm gonna try to put him back together... actually, that's the reason why I've enrolled in a technology class, Frankenstein's Monster: Seeing Past the Niggling Design Flaws.

Hilda: <vaguely alarmed> Ah, well... yes.

Leyla: Speaking of classes, I passed Catherine in the hallways not too long ago. She said the two of you are sharing a sewing class?

Hilda: <brightening> Oh, yes, it's going to be just wonderful! It's called, A Stitch in Nine, Saves Time: Multitasking for Sewer's on the Go.

Leyla: Well, that sounds fantastic!

Hilda:Oh, yes. I'm looking forward to studying with Catherine, such a nice young girl.

Leyla: She is!

Hilda: <softly> Leyla... why did you ask me to come room with you?

Leyla <smiles gently> Well, that's obvious, isn't it?

Hilda: I am a warm, dynamic wardrobe lady?

Leyla: Well, that too. Mostly, I just wanted somebody sane around here... and that sure isn't me!

[Skeeter Muppet]

*In Room 19, Kim is sitting at the computer side of the desk. Boober is folding laundry, Gillis is sitting on the empty side of the desk and Tosh and Betty Lou are sitting on Betty Lou's sofabed, playing with her dolls. Beast is in the closet, playing with a ball*

Kim: So, what were you guys up to while I was at work today?
Boober: I did laundry.
Betty Lou: I organized all of my dolls, see? *gestures around the room with a sweep of her arm to show off the top of the dresser and the bookshelf where her dolls are sitting*
Boober: I cleaned the desktop and dusted the shelves, then did laundry.
Tosh: Boober and I took Beast for a walk, and said hi to the other Fraggles. And I guess Rosita's moved in with Kathy and Prairie Dawn and Gaffer.
Boober: ...then we came back and I did more laundry.
Kim: Oh, that's nice. I'm glad we get to see the chica around campus again this year. Gillis, how 'bout you?
Gillis: I organized our music collection, then worked a little on my new song.
Boober: And I did his laundry, too.
Kim: Sounds like you guys had a pretty busy day, then. Oh, I almost forgot...Boober?
Boober: Yeah?
Kim: ...did you do any laundry?
Boober: ... *makes noise of frustration*
Gillis: *leaning over* That was mean. Funny, but mean.
Kim: I know. But, in the words of a pink bunny I knew...I just can't help myself.

-Kim

[Katzi428]

Rosita*calling room 19*: Hola Tosh! It's Rosita! Listen... any time any of you want to get together with me & Prairie,let us know.We're in Room 6.And tell Kim that if she feels like getting together with Kathy,the invitation is open for her to come over,OK? Adios!

[Erine81981]

Oooo tonight's weather isn't that bad. I enjoyed it. Hey there guys. What did ya'll do all day?

Grover: Me and Maurice finished getting our rooms unpacked.

Cookie M: Me and Herry went to the library.

What for?

Herry: To catch up on some cookie resipse.

Cookie M: Those resipse good.

Herry: Yeah. After you ate all the books.

Cookie M: URP! *some pages of a book fly out of Cookie's mouth* Excuse me.

Maurice: I had fun here. I can't wait to hang out with all of ya'll.

I'm glad your enjoying yourself. I was afraid that you wouldn't like it here. I thought maybe you would be running back to Sesame Street.

Maurice: Nope. Not Maurice Monster. He is here to stay with his friends. *gives everyone a big hug with his long arms*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Betty Lou: *sitting at the desk writing something*
Tosh: Hey Betty Lou, what're you up to?
Kim: About 3'5".
Girls: Huh?
Kim: ...never mind.
Betty Lou: ...okay. *to Tosh* I'm writing a letter to my penpal, Tuktuki. I'm letting her know that we got moved into the dorms okay.
Boober: What's a penpal?
Kim: Well, you know how Gobo gets postcards from his uncle Matt, right?
Boober: That's a rhetorical question, I'm assuming.
Kim: I'll take that as a yes. Anyway, a penpal is kind of like that, only you write to someone in another state or another country.
Betty Lou: *nodding* Tuktuki lives in Bangladesh, and her neighborhood's a lot like Sesame Street. She likes dolls as much as I do, and she even makes her own!
Tosh: Wow, that sounds neat!
Kim: Almost finished, Betty Lou?
Betty Lou: Yeah, nearly done.
Kim: Okay. Soon as you're done we'll drop it by the mailroom, so it can be in the outgoing mail on Tuesday.
Betty Lou: That's right; no mail tomorrow. Labor Day.
Gillis: Why do they call it "Labor Day" if no one works?
Kim: ...I don't know, Gillis. It's just one of those things.

-Kim

[The Count]

Yep... Kind of the same deal as to why hot dog buns come in 8's and hot dogs come in 10's.
*Walks back to library.

[tvlistingman]

I want Zoe and Little Bird and Snuffy as roommates in room #27

My Room is a big room complete with a big screen TV, PS2 and a VCR player, a DVD Player, a fridge, cabinets, dishwashers, microwave oven and a regular oven and a stereo, The Wallpapers are combined with birds because Little Bird is a Bowl and half of the Wallpaper is pink because Zoe is a ballet dancer and she likes the color pink and she is a girl and the last half of the wallpapers is covered with old tv station logos from cities around the country and retro sports logos because I’m into Old Stuff. and there are two beds, one for Zoe and one for Me and a nest for little bird and a cave for Snuffy with sleeping quarters for him plus all sorts of stuff such as photos of his Mommy and Alice. So That is Zoe and Little Bird and Snuffy as my roommates in room #27

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <wipes sweat> Phew! ...I think that's it. Right? We're all moved in? We've all got all of our stuff?
Rowlf: Check.
Robin: Yup!
Chef: Okeee-a-dukeee-a!
Lisa: Good. I guess it's time to-
Rowlf: Play the music?
Lisa: ...No, it's time to-
Robin: Light the lights?
Lisa: ...No, it's time to-
Rowlf: Meet the Muppets?
Robin: <sings> On the Muppet Show tonight...
Lisa: <sigh> No. It's time to tell everyone what our room looks like.
Rowlf: Oh.

On the right-hand wall, there's a bed, a bunk-bed, and a hammock. Lisa has the bed, Chef has the top bunk, Rowlf has the bottom bunk, and Robin has the hammock- though pretty much anyone is welcome to sit in it during the day. Behind the bed, against the back wall, is a changing screen- necessary with a co-ed room, in our humble opinion. Also against the back wall is a desk that is all ready collecting various odds and ends and will very rarely actually be used for writing, though there's always room for the computer on it. It's next to the big bay window with a window seat, which is lined with seven teddy bears of various shapes, sizes, and colors. Outside the window is a window box, with a few small flowers planted for all the roomies to care for, since none of them can remember to do so on their own. The window is tucked behind Rowlf's piano. Along the left-hand wall there's an over-stuffed couch, an over-stuffed easy chair, a stool, a rocking chair, a bean-bag, and a balance ball, because no one in the room can ever decide what they like to sit on best. They're arranged in something of a semi-circle around a nook in the wall- that nook belonging to the Chef, as it's a small kitchen (with bullet-proof walls, floor, and ceiling... Trust us on this one.) The door-wall is lined with shelves, all filled with various books- some read, some unread- a stack of used notebooks, and another stack of an assortment of pieces of paper with bits of stories written on them. One shelf has a stereo, and another shelf is filled with Frog Scout regalia. There's also a shelf of "Jewish/Israel stuff," and the bottom shelf is lined with exactly twenty-one teddy bears. (The remaining two teddy bears have a permanent place on Lisa's bed.) The floor is tile for easy clean-up. Don't get used to seeing it, though- we're not the cleanest group of roomies in the dorms.

Lisa: <Looks around> It's too clean.
Rowlf: Yeah.
Lisa: ...Oh well. <turns on stereo> Let's dance!
Robin: I thought you were gonna work on your story?
Chef: I theenky-thuooght yuoo vere-a gueeng tu seerchety-fleeppy thruoogh zee deecshunery fur humoourk.
Rowlf: I thought you were gonna visit your grandma later today.
Lisa: ...Fine, then, let's NOT dance. <sigh>...
Rowlf: Oh that doesn't mean we're not gonna dance, it's just that you shouldn't.
<the boys start dancing.>
Lisa: That's cruel and unusual punishment and I haven't even had a fair trial...
Chef: Feenish yuoor fleeppy-deecshunery-seercheeng humoourk, und zeen yuoo cun duncey-dunce-a ell yuoor ceres evey!
Lisa: <grumbles> <pulls out a dictionary> Right, so a word with the root "spir," meaning "breathe"...

[Beauregard]

Bo: *stands on doorstop with carpet bags* So..that trip to England didn't go too badly...
Bobo: Except that our room was emptied...
Beau: ...and pain-ted.
Bo: Things could have been worse...

Bean Bunny: BEAN? Bean? Oh! You called for this bundle of cuteness and the bunny has answered your precious little call! Hi, I'm Bean! And I am seriously worse...

Beau: The easter bunny?
Bobo: Does he come in chocolate?
Bo: What...are you doing here?

Bean: *bounce* Being me! *rushes inside* Hi there Ed, we'd like a room for...one, two, three, FOUR including me! In the basement if you please! Where do I sign?

Bo: At the a-sign-lem...
Beau: The what?
Bobo: White coats, Beau, white coats.

[The Count]

OK... Who let... Will have to talk to Kevin about this, serves me right for not doing so earlier.
Peter, if you could, please delete your post above and contact me instead. Thank you.

*Walks off to go get in touch with Kevin.

[Beauregard]

Count, did you get the mesage there that I'd like Bean as a new roomie? if he's not taken?

[The Count]

Can't says I have. You send it just now? Cause I'm tending to something related with the last person who kind of jumped the gun regarding registering to be a new resident here at the dorms.
*Points to above post.

[Beauregard]

Ahhh...Well, I kinda posted it here in this thread too, didn't realise I had to PM.

[The Count]

OK... Just sent Kevin over at MC College's offices, not sure when he'll reply. But for those of you wishing to become new residents of the dorms, please find Post #8412, the rules for applying to live here are all there.
Thank you.

Nyssa: <walks in with fishing pole> Hey everyone.

Jabber: Did you catch anything?

Nyssa: No, but I'm going back out tomorrow...

Mokey: Maybe you'll have better luck then.

Nyssa: I hope so.

[The Count]

[JaniceFerSure]

*Diana and The Electric Mayhem wait patiently with baggage at the front desk,along with their instruments.Diana rings the front desk bell*

*ding*

[The Count]

*Coming out to the lobby's desk... Yes, may I help you?
Oh like wow! It's our songbird come back to roost. And with most of the band too. We're so glad to have you back with us D, like rully.
Come on, I'll show you to your room. *Picks up key to Room #33.
No, we got rid of the staircase... Vending machines and a shelf of books or records are there now, they're on each floor.

*Walking into the common room.
Hi Seymour... Got some new residents here, up to the third floor.
Seymour: Oh OK Ed, have a good night.
Thanks.
*Inside the elevator. Like the music? We have a feed from MC Radio piping into this chamber. *Getting out on 3rd Floor's common room. And the doors have that psychadelic pattern your bandmates made famous.

OK, a turn to our right, and it's the second door down on our left. *Hands key to Diana. Your room's two flights directly above Beth's. Maps of Hensonville and the dorms are available on the shelves in between the vending machines. If you have any questions as to where the rest of the people are or anything like that, please LMK. Marvin's Music City's in need of someone who'll take over again if you're interested. But I'll let you make that call. It's so good to have you back.
*Hugs D, have a great night.
*Goes back downstairs to Room #1.

[JaniceFerSure]

Diana: Ahh,our old room.Fabulous.

Dr. Teeth: We're gonna have to spend the greater part of the night,decorating the place.

Janice: Like,first things first,ok.We rully have to decide who's sleeping where,and where to put our clothes ya know?

Floyd: Two bunk beds and a futon will do the very trick in her for such a thing.

Zoot: I'll take the futon.

************************************************** *********

Here is our room layout:

The two minor walls are dark blue,the major walls are red,and the ceiling is painted green;black stripes are diagonal on each wall,forming a retro pattern.There are dance lights in all four corners of the room,and a disco ball in the center of the ceiling.As you walk into the room,the entertainment center has a vcr/dvd player,stereo and a tv,to the left.Electric Mayhem's instruments are arranged against the far left wall.The bunkbeds are
across the opposite wall of the entertainment center and the computer desk is placed next to the bunk beds.Zoot's futon is in the center of the room.EM's sheet music and accessories are in a steamer trunk in front of Zoot's futon.There's a dresser inside of the closet.

Dr. Teeth: Here's a nice song to start out the new school term with,Enya's Orinoco Flow:

Janice:

let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.


Floyd:

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

Zoot:

from the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never seen.

All:

we can sail, we can sail...
we can sail, we can sail...

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Ohhhh, I love that song
Red: It's really pretty, reminds me of songs we sing down in the Rock
Abby: Your Rock sounds really magical
Red: It is, I miss it sometimes, but there's a Fraggle hole in our room where I can go back there anytime
Beth: Well girls, how about some ice cream?
Red: Yippie!
Abby: Ooh, I love ice cream!

[Erine81981]

Glad to be off tomorrow.

Grover: Good. We have a wonderful set day tomorrow.

What are we going to be doing? I hope nothing to with waiting on other people.

Grover: No. Do not worry about my jobs. That day was just I need some help that day.

Good.

Maurice: So what is the first thing we are doing Grover?

Grover: We are going to the zoo first.

Cookie M: Then what Grover?

Grover: Next would be to go eat at "Good Eats."

Herry: Then what?

Grover: Then we are heading to the movies.

To see what?

Grover: I do not know. We all can not agree with each other.

Please just let me sleep in tomorrow. Got it?

Monster: Yes sir!

Thanks. I'm going to go take a hot bath.

[Katzi428]

Urgh*banging head against fist*
Rosita:Headaches again,Kathy?
For once,no, Rosita.Thank goodness.taking the peach iced tea she offers me Thanks .I need this.
Rosita:De nada.So what's the matter?
Well...I'm working on a story and it's not quite going the way I want it to go.
Rosita:Mind if I take a look?
Be my guest handing my work over to Rosita
Rosita takes a look:Looks fine to me, Kathy.I don't see any problem.In fact I like it!
Oh,but Rosie...um...Rosita...I've liked writing since I was a kid!I hate writers' blocks!
Rosita:I think you're just tired.This plus over critical of yourself.No one is a perfect writer,Kath.Get some sleep,OK?
Yeah...OK *sigh*
Rosita: Buenas noches,mi amiga
Goodnight Rosita...and thanks.

[The Count]

Agree with Rosita. Just sleep on it Kath, and maybe you'll get some inspiration. Think about what the overall story you want to tell is, think of where you are, and how to get to the next part you want to have in the story. We all get those little complications from time to time.
Now then, I believe I'll be contacting the members of the review committee, but that can wait till the morrow.
One thing though, we could use some extra security... Been noticing a rash of new people trying to get near MC, they've all shared similar characteristics and appear to be somewhat shady. Be careful of who you talk to out there in town guys.
Good night, hope your dreams bring you renewed inspiration.

[JaniceFerSure]

*singing*

Janice:

Good morning Starshine,the Earth says,"Hello." You twinkle above us,we twinkle below.

Diana:

Good morning Starshine,you lead us along.My love and me as we sing,an early morning singing song.

Floyd and Janice:

Gliddy glop gloopy,nibby nobby nooby,la la la,lo lo.

Floyd and Diana:

Sabba,sibby,sabba,nibby abba nabby,la li la,lo lo.

All:

Tooby ooly walla,neeba abba nabba.Early morning singing song..

**************************************************
*sings*
Dr. Teeth: Hey,bulldog.Standing in the rain.Leap frog,doing it again.Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles.What makes you think your something special when you smile? You can talk to me,if you're lonely,you can talk to me...

************************************************** *******

Zoot: *snores*

[The Count]

Ah... Now I know the dorms are back to normal. Kyle's got his monster clan in toe and I hear the melodious tones of Diana and the band singing that great song recorded by Oliver, "Good Morning Starshine".
Hope the committee replies with the results of their first assigned case soon, got a second one for them already lined up.

[Java]

Oh Sprocket, I had so much fun touring Hensonville this weekend, but now I'm exhausted. I'm going to go drop of this bag of peppermints, marshmellows, mini chocolate chips, and butterscotch for Ed, The Count and the bats for all their help and then I'm taking a nap. Do you want to walk with me.

<large snore errupts from nose>

Guess not.

<Melissa walks down to Eds room and hangs bag of sweets on the door. Then returns to room and climbs in bed.>

[The Count]

*Leaves Thank-You card for Melissa pinned between her door's crack, so as not to disturb her.

*Goes back downstairs, knocking on Room #5.
Sara? Sara? 15 seconds. Just wondering if everything's OK with you, LMK we can talk about whatever's on your mind... Just hope it's not Gonzo actually trying to do some new dance routine on your skull though, he'd have a hard time staying upright with all of your hair in the way.
Like I said, we can talk about stuff if you want. Have a good day Sara.

Oh look, found the little candies Melissa left for the bats. Well, think I'll just sneak off a butterscotch piece for...
*Goes into room, happy with everybody at the dorms so far.

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *pops up* Wonder what everyone is doing today? Maybe there's someone I can play a trick on. *few minutes pass* Oh come on!? There has to be someone I can play a trick on. *slams trashlid on himself* *groans*

[BEAR]

Telly: (jumping passed Oscar's can on his pogostick) Boing! Boing! Boing! Hi, Oscar! Boing! Boing!....

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *pops up* Oh hey there Telly. *whispers* Yes! I can play that old trick on Telly. Hey Telly? Come here.

[BEAR]

Telly: What is it, Oscar?

[Erine81981]

Oscar: I wanted to tell you that I'm....please forgive me Granny...sorry for what I did to you when we did the Ask Oscar bit. Here are some grouch gummy worms. *hands Telly the can of Grouch Gummy worms* Heh heh heh heh...this is going to be fun. Go ahead Telly. Open it.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *returning to dorms* Guys! I'm back!

Gonzo: Ryan we've missed you! I've had no one to clean up after my stunts!

Camilla: Bawk bagawk!

UD: Ah yes, Ryan my fiend, welcome home! Now, get yourself to writing that super top secret fan-fiction you talked about before departing so suddenly.

Me: I'm going Uncle D. I'm going. I do have a bit of homework to catch up on first, but I think I'll do fan-ficing first.

Clifford: Heh, it's not like we expected different of ya!

[Java]

Sprocket, do you want to come with me as I go down to the reading room to catch up on all the fan-fics?

Arrgh, roo. <Nods and puts reading glasses on and runs to wait by door.>

Good, maybe we'll meet up with some of the others as we do.

[Erine81981]

Hey there Melissa. Hey Sprocket. *pats him on the head* We're just back from our little trip.

Maurice: We went to the movies.

Cookie M: Me got to ride the horses.

That was fun to watch Cookie Monster.

Herry: Gorver is still at work.

Yeah I know. He'll be home later. Nice talking to ya'll. Oh by the way. Where are ya'll two headed?

[Java]

Just headed to read some fan-fic. In touring Hensonvill we got behind. What movie did you see?

[Erine81981]

Herry: Monster House. What else. *laughs*

Maurice: It was pretty scary but I still made it through.

Cookie M: Me just glad me had me cookies to eat.

Come on guys. See you around Melissa. Oh and by the way. My name's Kyle. *holds hand out* Sorry I didn't intoduce myself before. See 'round Sprocket.

Herry: Bye Melissa. Bye Sprocket.

Maurice: Bye Melissa and Sprocket!

Cookie M: Goood bye!

[Java]

Goodnight Kyle, nice to meet you.

Goodnight Harry, Maurice, and Cookie Monster.

Rowoo, ruff.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Okay, been working all night, but me and the guys-

Camilla: Bagawk!

Me: -And Camilla, have been working on the room description:

Walking into the room we see a couch and a tatterred armchair with a hole through that back that belongs to Uncle Deadly. In front of the couch is our handy television set with our DVD/VHS combo machine on top and a Playstation 2 on the floor in front with "Muppet Party Cruise" and "Muppets Race Mania" video games stacked near. Directly behind the couch sits our kitchen complex and to the immediate right of that is Ryan and Clifford's room. Inside there is a bunk bed with green and blue sheets on each matress and two pillows on the bottom (Ryan's) and one on the top (Cliff's). The walls are painted a light shade of green. At the foot of the beds stantds a set of black shelves with Ryan's Muppet figures from Palisade's Toys perched carefully on it. And on the left side of the bed sits Ryan's desk, crammed full. In the center of the desk sits Ryan's computer, Fozzie, Beaker, Miss Piggy, Kermit, Wembely and Gobo plushies, a Kermit lamp, a Kermit desk set, phone, framed set of Muppet stamps with Jim Henson and Rainbow Connection Kermit action figures sitting in front, and finally a Kermit and Miss Piggy cookie jar. Right next to the door sits a much smaller shelf full of Muppet DVD's and VHS's: TMS Season 1, TMM, GMC, MFC, The Muppets Celebrate 30 Years, MTM, The Muppets go to Walt Disney World, Jim Henson's Funeral, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson, MCC, MTI, Muppets Tonight! The Complete Series, MFS, KSY, VMC, MWoO, Best Ever Muppet Moments, FR Season 1, and the HIT! FR DVD releases, Follow That Bird, and Dinosaurs Season 1 and 2. To the left of Ryan and Clifford's room sits a smaller room where Gonzo and Camilla have two hammocks hung inside with a blanket and pillow on each. Inside the room sits all of Gonzo's things from all of his random acts. Uncle Deadly sleeps out on the couch when he does sleep, usually his time is spent watching television at night. And finally, hanging on the walls, is a framed picture of Kermit and Miss Piggy and a framed picture of the Muppets cast.

Phew, that about does it! G'night everybody!

[Java]

Okay Sprocket. I'm off to work for the day. Have fun and stay out of trouble.

<continues snoring>

<Melissa leaves note for Sprocket and walks out of room, quietly moving through the dorms so as not to disturb the rest of the residents.>

[BEAR]

Oscar: I wanted to tell you that I'm....please forgive me Granny...sorry for what I did to you when we did the Ask Oscar bit. Here are some grouch gummy worms. *hands Telly the can of Grouch Gummy worms* Heh heh heh heh...this is going to be fun. Go ahead Telly. Open it.


Telly: Oh, okay...thanks, Oscar. (opens can and plastic snakes fly out) Whoaahh!!! Oh, Oscar!! You always do that!!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (in his nest, sleeping) Quaquaquaqua...
Telly: (also asleep in his triangle bed) Zzzzzzzz...
(all is quiet in room 29 with bags and boxes still not fully unpacked and things not put away yet)
Bry: Hmm...think I'll go up on the roof and get some night air. (goes upstairs to the roof) Hi, Luna.
Luna (the Moon): Hello, Bryan. What are you doing awake at this time?
Bry: Well...I couldn't sleep and I didn't wanna wake Big Bird and Telly.
Luna: I see they're your roommates again.
Bry: Yeah, I love having them around. We have a good time together. I couldn't split with them. Rosita is now rooming with Kathy and Prairie Dawn, so it's nice to still have her around even if she isn't living with us.
Luna: She has such a warm spirit.
Bry: She does.
Luna: And what about Snuffy?
Bry: Snuffy hasn't returned to us this time, but we'll see. Maybe something will happen. Bert and Ernie are also joining us this time though. I am really excited for them to get here.
Luna: You know, they lived at the dormhouse before, but I never saw much of them at all. I hope to see them more often this time.
Bry: Oh, you will. They'll be arriving soon.
Luna: Oh good. How do you like being back in the dorms?
Bry: It's nice. Good to see old friends again and some new ones too. I can't wait to meet everyone. Haven't really had the time this weekend.
Luna: It's always nice to meet new friends of all kinds. I enjoy seeing so many different people and creatures coming together and having a good time.
Bry: It's great. Well, I should probably turn in now, but would you like to do the sponsors tonight?
Luna: I would love to, Bryan. I would love to. The Muppet College Dorms were brought to you today by the letter V and by the number 14.
Bry: Goodnight, Luna.
Luna: Goodnight, Bryan. (she floats back up continuing to light the night sky)

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Well, I'm off to work, you guys have a good day at school!
Abby: I will! I'm going to learn everything!
Beth: That's great, but don't worry if you don't learn everything in one day!
Red: I'm excited to be back in classes too, it will be fun
Beth: Let's catch up later tonight at Everybody Eats
Abby: Oh boy!
Red: Sounds good!

[christyb]

Skeeter: Room descript time! I get to tell b/c I've locked Christy away with the orders to write.

*From the hall closet*

Christyb: *muffled* Not funny Skeeter! You are so gonna get it when I get out of here. I know where Scooter keeps that home movie of you when you were three!!!

Skeeter: *Holding the door shut* Ignore her.

Our room is laid out as a typical dorm room style, but without the prison cell feel. You enter the room through a small hallway that holds the bathroom and a walk in closet that Christyb and I share. Once out of the hallway there is a desk directly to your left against the wallholding Christyb's desk, computers, video equipment, and school books. Her bed is a few feet from the desk. On the floor is a nice blue plush area rug..to protect the floor b/c we're messy! Now on my side of the room, just look in the opposite corner is my desk. which at any given time is covered with my sports equipment, balls, and I think my computer is in there...somewhere. My bed is against the wall also. A large picture window is on the wall opposite of the door letting loads of light and a great view of campus. Intermingled on the walls are photos of family, friends, and whatever strikes our fancy.

* a note appears from under the closet door and Mother from the Moppet family appears*

Mother: *unfolds paper*

Skeeter: Gimme that!

Mother: *reading* Christyb would like to define that "fancy" means the many pictures of a certain host from a certain show whose title contains the word "Tonight".

Skeeter: What are you doing here? You belong in the other thread!

Mother: A very brief cameo.

*from inside the closet*

Christyb: I told you I'd get you back!

[The Count]

Rully? Hmmm, didn't know Skeeter liked Johnny Carson or Jay Leno. Wonder how you guys have a great view of campus from that window if your room's down in the basement. Oh well, guess it's just like that migrating log. Hugs Sis, she'll let you out of that closet eventually. Be back later tonight, stuck here on campus till my evening class is over.

[christyb]

I can clue you into that. Now that I'm outta the closet. It ain't real. Tis all computer genterated holograms.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Hey, why do they get a hologram projector? All I get is Gonzo!

Gonzo: Hey! I'm very projecting!

Me: Don't I know it...

Uncle Deadly: Excuse me Ryan, but don't you have some sort of...Erm...Commentary on a certain story of you? Mmm?

Me: Oh...Yeah...Thanks Uncle D. C'mon Gonzo, let's go.

Gonzo: Go where? Where are you taking me? I have my rights as a weirdo! E Pluribus Insaneum! In Weird we trust! Fight the power!!

Me: Are you quite finished?

Gonzo: Yes, I'm done.

Me: Good, let's go.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(comes into lobby with a stack of gear in tow, followed by the Storyteller and Nora)

Okay, I'm assuming this is the right place. (rings bell) We're here!

Nora: I need to lie down. My little brother and sister almost destroyed the house this morning with one of their ongoing science projects.
Storyteller: Oh, another one of those...say, did I ever tell you the story of the great Pyro Fraggle...

[BEAR]

Bry: Well, looks like the Doozers are all set to work on some of the details of our room and Biff and Sully should be back after their lunch break to continue fixing these doors. In the meantime, I'm going to go take a bath. Telly, you keep an eye on things for me, okay?
Telly: You got it!
Bry: What are you doing, Big Bird?
Big Bird: I'm going to go downstairs and say hi to Rosita. You know she moved in with Kathy and Prairie over the weekend.
Bry: Yeah, I am so glad she is still around. Tell her I said hola!
Big Bird: I will!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *coming back in room carrying fainted Gonzo*

UD: Oh dear, "Old Friends" got another one then, hmm?

Me: Heh, I guess so, oh well. *drops Gonzo on the floor* I'm sure he enjoyed that.

[Katzi428]

*knock...knock*
Rosita:I'll get that.
Prairie: OK...thanks Rosita.
Rosita:*opening the door* Big Bird!Hi! *giving him a hug* Ooh it's so good to see you! Want some birdseed cookies and milk? Kathy...do we have any birdseed cookies around?
Yep....went to the grocery store in Hensonville today and bought a box. Hiya Big Bird!
Prairie:Hi Big Bird!

[JaniceFerSure]

Diana: What a long work day today.Hey everybody.

Dr. Teeth: Welcome back to our humble little sanctuary.

Diana: Thank you Dr. Teeth.I'm going to take a nap.

*Zoot plays the Love Theme from Blade Runner on his saxaphone*

[redBoobergurl]

Abby: They have so much good food at Everybody Eats. I'm sorry I sneezed and made my wand turn your radish into a pumpkin Red
Red: It's ok, they were happy to bring another radish
Beth: You'll get better with that wand Abby. Just keep practicing.
Abby: I don't know if I'll ever be as good as a fairy godmother is
Beth: Oh I think you will, you've just got to believe in yourself

*Music starts*

Beth: Oh you can be what you want to be
See what you want to see
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself

Go where you want to go

Do what you want to do
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself

Red: Some folks try to tell you there are things you shouldn't do
You're not strong enough or smart enough at all
But what seems right to them quite often
Might be wrong for you
So be sure you try to climb
Before you get too scared you fall

Oh, you can be what you want to be
Learn what you want to learn
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself

Abby: Try what you need to try
No one should question why
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself

Beth: Folks may say you're different
That you've gone and lost your senses
But the world is yours to walk in
Go ahead and leap the fences

All Three: And you'll see
Believe in yourself
And the world belongs to you and me


Abby: Thanks guys, I feel better now, I just got to keep practicing!

Beth: That's right!

[christyb]

*Christyb walks into room to find a rope jungle*

Christyb: Skeeter I'm ho----

Skeeter: I'm up here practicing!

Christyb: Uh...when you saw those guys on campus walking a rope tied between two trees I'm not sure this is what they had in mind.

Skeeter: But this is better! That and it helps me to stretch.

Christyb: Yeah and your gymnastics coach kills me for letting you do this before a big meet.

Skeeter: Don't worry, this is great for me!

Christyb: Uh huh...care to come down from there and go grab a bite to eat?

*Skeeter jumps does a back flip landing perfectly on the floor in front of Christyb*

Christyb: *clapping* Bravo! Nicely done.

Skeeter: Let's go I'm starving!

[RedDragon]

<up in tree>

Nyz: There's a great view from up here.

Mokey: Be care!

Nyz: Don't worry, I'm Fi-i-ine! <falls out of tree>

Mokey: Nyssa!

Nyz: <hops to feet> I'm fine! <falls again> Ok, maybe not fine....

[christyb]

*reaches a hand out to Nyssa*

Christyb: Need some help? We're on our way to find some food when you uh...dropped in.

[theprawncracker]

(Speaking of dropping in...)


Gonzo: *falls right behind Christy* Oh! That was great! *hops up* Hello ladies! What's this I hear about eating?

Me: *falls right in front of Gonzo* Oof...That is the LAST time I do a stunt with you Gonzo...Oh Christy! Nyssa! Hi! Sorry about...Erm...Dropping in...But uh, we're hungry. Anyone for Everybody Eats?

[christyb]

Sure thing. Feel free to tag along!

*all leave for Everybody Eats*

OCC: That's all for me tonight. See ya'll tomorrow!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *at Everybody Eats* So Nyz...How's Mairin...Not that Jack's been asking...But...Uh...Yeah, he's been asking.

Gonzo: Who now?

Me: Oh never mind...

[BEAR]

(in room 6)
Big Bird: Thanks for the birdseed cookies. These sure are good! I just thought I would stop by and say hello. We really miss having you as a roommate, Rosita, but it sure is good to know you are down here with Kathy and Prairie. They're nice people.
Bry: (calling from upstairs) Big Bird! Come on, it's time for dinner!
Big Bird: Oh, I better get going. Say, would you three like to come with us to Everybody Eats? I think there is a whole bunch of friends over there right now. It'll be fun!

[Java]

Sprocket, I'm finally home from work!

Sprocket?

Now where did he get off to? Oh well, he knows how to find his way back here when his stomach gets to calling. I'd better hit the showers and then I'm making cheese enchilda's. Wonder if he'll show up for those?

[Erine81981]

Grover: Where could Kyle be?

Maurice: He said he would be home soon.

Grover: When was this? Did that just happen now? When did he tell you this?

Maurice: Hold on with all those questions Grover. *stops and looks around*

Grover: Sorry Maurice. So?

Maurice: Oh yea. He said this when he left work.

Grover: You were there?

Mauice: No. He called me.

Grover: Oooh. I guess I will make dinner. Come on Maurice.

Maurice: What will tonight's dinner be?

Grover: Whatever I can find.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(unloads ice cream maker) Who's up for a little sorbet or gelato? (plugs it in and takes out already prepped mixes) I've got mango-orange, coconut cream, kiwi, strawberry-banana...you know, a real tropical bonanza.

Nora: I'd like the mango-orange.
Storyteller: Got any radish?
MN: No, Gobo and Wembley ate my last batch...let's go for the mango (opens container). What on earth? It's gone! (pause) Wait a minute, I think Richard got a hold of that last batch a few nights ago.
Nora: (sigh) Coconut, then.
MN: Okay...(opens container) Good grief, somebody ate it already! What gives?
Storyteller: What about the strawberry?
MN: (opens container) All right...okay, nobody's eaten this yet. One SB coming up! (pours mix in and starts mixer up)

[The Count]

*Coming in after having eaten dinner at the restaurant... Sure was fun seeing... Oh hi Erin. So you decided to move in huh? Well come on... I'll show you to your room.
*Grabs key from lobby's backwall, below marble 7.
Seymour: Hello Ed... Who's this?
Oh it's just Erin and her roomies, new to the dorms.
Seymour: Oh OK... Have a good night.
Thanks. *To Erin: He's usually here working the furnace's elevator.

*All ride downstairs to the basement floor. Yeah, the common rooms are same, except for the carpeting... So your room's this way. Just a turn to the left, and last door down on our left.
*Hands key to Erin. OK, the Laundry Room's directly across from yours, you got Sara and Scooter as next door neighbors, and my room's the first one here in this hall. Knock or leave a message if you need anything. A couple of bats ought to be down here with the rest of your luggage soon. Good night.
*Walks over to Room #1, unlocking the door and going inside to check up on all the fanfics the Count borrowed.

(checking in at the lobby, at room 27)

PETER: Here we are

BABY BEAR: This is my first time at the Dorms, Peter

ZOE: You are going to like It , just like Elmo

LITTLE BIRD: It's too bad, we didn't have Elmo as a roommate

PETER: But you can see him anytime

ZOE: That's right, Peter

PETER: Baby Bear, I create old and fictional TV listings throughout the country

BABY BEAR: Wow!, Peter that is a wee collection

ZOE: He's been doing that for a year now

LITTLE BIRD: Yeah!!!!

PETER: Good Night Baby Bear, Zoe, and Little Bird

BABY BEAR: Good Night, Peter, Zoe and Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Good Night Peter, Zoe, Baby Bear

ZOE: Good Night Little Bird, Peter and Baby Bear

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Okay, Ed, thanks. (unplugs mixer and parks it in a box containing stereo and lava lamp) All right, next stop is #7!

Nora: Can I go see Scooter after we move in? (grabs a box containing her mystery novels and her Sherlock Holmes costume)
MN: Don't see why not. All right...I've got dibs on the section overlooking the backyard, Nora, you get the one closest to the door, and Storyteller, you can set up your hut wherever you like.
(trio heads off to room 7, bats in tow) And there'll be ice cream for the whole hall in about an hour!

[BEAR]

(walking into the main lobby; Ernie just has a backpack and his Rubber Duckie in hand, while Bert is struggling with most of the luggage)
Ernie: This is going to be so much fun coming back to the ol' dorms. Isn't it, Rubber Duckie? (squeezes Rubber Duckie to make him respond)
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak squeak*
Ernie: Oh, you can put that stuff down here, Bert. Take a load off.
Bert: (grunting in agony) Hmmphrgg...(drops everything on the floor) You could have helped, you know.
Ernie: Bert, are you feeling okay? You look a little yellow. You shouldn't be lifting all those heavy bags by yourself!
Bert: Ernie! I've always been yellow.
Ernie: (snickers) Kekhekhekhe! I wonder where we're supposed to go. I suppose I could make a call to the office on my cell phone here. (pulls out a banana and holds it to his ear)
Bert: Ernie, would you cut that out. That is a banana, it is NOT a cell phone.
Ernie: Not with that attitude.
Bert: Ernie, I am not in the mood for this. I have been walking for miles and miles from Sesame Street carrying all this heavy luggage...most of which is yours by the way...and all I want to do is find our room so I can take a nice soothing nap before dinner.
Ernie: Okay, okay. Don't worry. We'll find where we're supposed to go. I'm here for ya!
Bert: Thank you.
Ernie: I sure hope that we're living with someone fun. Last time, I felt like I was stuck inside all the time. It was kinda boring.
Bert: Boring? I didn't think it was so bad...
(a group of 3 penguins walk by)
Ernie: Hey, look! Maybe those are teachers. They look like nuns. When did this become a religious institution?
Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: I'm only kidding, Bert.
Bert: Hey, maybe they'll know where we're supposed to go.
Ernie: Good thinkin', Bert. Say, do you penguins happen to know where we can find our room?
First :zany: : No, sorry. We're just passing through ourselves. We don't live here.
Second :zany: : We're actually trying to run from the people around here. We're in the middle of a Survivor Challenge.
Ernie: Oh, yeah! I won that game the first time. It was fun! Remember, Bert?
Bert: (getting more impatient) Yes, yes, I remember.
Third :zany: : Sorry we couldn't help ya, pal! (Whispers) Hey, if anyone asks, you didn't see us.
Ernie: You got it! Bye bye!
(Penguins continue on their way)
Ernie: Was that one penguin holding a cue card? Oh well...I guess we better keep looking. (gestures to the bags all over the floor) Uuh, Bert...you might want to pick up that mess. It's embarrassing.
Bert: *sigh*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

All right, here's the preliminary description of room 7, Chez Newsgirl et Amies. Or whatever we decide to call this place.

We've got two bedrooms, a sitting room and a bathroom. I'm in one room, which is now decorated in the style of mid-70s rec room. I've got bean bag chairs, rock posters and a few Dali and Van Gogh prints. (and that's kind of what my real dorm room looks like) Nora's in the other, and she's filled it up with all her favorite books and her detective memorabilia and...ah, yes, a nice big group photo of her with the TMS cast.
The Storyteller has her hut set up in the sitting room, palm trees and Fraggle vegetation and all. It's how she prefers to move shop. In the sitting room we've also got a wrought-iron table and chairs, for that French cafe feel.

(plugs mixer back in) All right, ice cream in an hour. I've got work to do for the paper. What do you two have to do tonight?
Nora: I've got to finish looking over this script for next week's show. And I've got to finish my homework.
Storyteller: I'm taking down the legend of five silly creatures who spent their days with frogs and pigs and dogs and go-fers.
MN: Sounds like the story of Jim and the others.
Storyteller: And very silly creatures they are, too. They wrote the book on it.

[The Count]

*Hears ringing bell at lobby's desk...

*Goes back upstairs. Oh hi Peter, let me grab your key...

Bert and Ernie, you guys might as well come with us too.
*All go past the swinging door and down our left into Floor 2's East Wing.
Let's see... Third door on our right, here we are.
*Hands key to Peter. OK, you've got Ryan and his crew as your righthand neighbors...
And Bert and Ernie, you guys are with Bryan in the next room down. It's across from the floor's bathrooms, you'll probably like that Ernie.

Bye Peter.
Don't worry Bert, some bats will show up with your luggage in a little while.

Good night guys.

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: *walking by Peter and the others moving in* Hey hey ya'll welcome back to the dorms. We're right next door if ya'll need anything, just let us know. Night!

[The Count]

Originally posted by Prawny: Me: *coming back in room carrying fainted Gonzo*
UD: Oh dear, "Old Friends" got another one then, hmm?
Me: Heh, I guess so, oh well. *drops Gonzo on the floor* I'm sure he enjoyed that.

Heh... Better not let him read through The Great Desire then...

[Erine81981]

Herry: Look who's here!

[Java]

<barking and scratching at the door to room 40>

<Opens door and lets frazzled looking Sprocket in.>
I knew you would show up when I had finished cooking. Well, come on and tell me about your day.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Storyteller leaves room, bearing a long scroll of parchment) I've got to go talk to that nice young Hunt.

MN: Yeah, you and half the female membership of the RHLC. See you around. (mixer dings - yeah, it was a very short hour) Ice cream's up. (scoops some out into cups and puts rest into a freezer container) Hey, Nora, you want some?
Nora: Sure. (takes ice cream into room)
MN: Family troubles?
Nora: ...yeah.
MN: It's not about Cait and Stu almost blowing up the garage, is it?
Nora: No...it's my big brother Mike.
MN: Oh, the snobby one. What'd he say this time?
Nora: He says I'm shaming the family by working with the Muppet Show.
MN: Oh, brother...go have your ice cream and relax with the others.

[Katzi428]

Whew! I'm tired!
Prairie:Pleased to meet you Tired....I'm Prairie Dawn!
Rosita:And I'm Rosita!A pleasure to meet you Tired!Although you look more like our good friend Kathy.;)

Rosita:Sounds fine to me!
Prairie:Me too!
Great! Goodnight everyone!

[The Count]

*Ziffled by Kathy. *Let's just say that we're running a surplus on sponsors, so we're covered for tonight and tomorrow which it will be in a few minutes.

Well, time to say good night. Wanted to do it last night to finish off the Labor Day weekend and weekend anniversary... But it's better to do it tonight, so long as it gets done...

The dorms were brought to you by the letters M and C, for Muppet Central or College, whichever you prefer...
And by the number...
Count: Fire in the hole!
*Firework birthday candle shoots up into the night sky, booming into a giant sparkly dark golden smoke 2 hovering high above the building itself.
Count: 2! 2 vonderful years!

[Erine81981]

Grover: Good night Kyle. I have to work tomorrow. I will see you tomorrow at lunch. *yawns*

I'm off. Sure. I'll come eat with you. I'm proubley stay up for awhile longer. Good Night Grover. Good night Maurice, Cookie Monster and Herry.

Herry: Good night Kyle. *yawns*

Maurice: Good night everyone. Good night. *yawns and slips off to bed*

Cookie M: Can me stay up with you Kyle?

I don't see why not. Come on. We'll watch some cartoons. *reaches for a box of cookies but there's none in the box* Sorry Cookie. I thought I had you some cookies.

Cookie M: Not to worry! *grabs a box of cookie from the side of the couch* Me keep spare box hidden* Me love thme cookies!

Oh Cookie Monster.....

[BEAR]

Ernie: Thanks, Ed. So nice to see so many of our old friends again like Grover, Cookie, Herry...
Bert: Yeah, and Maurice. It's been a long time since we've seen him!
Ernie: What was that other guy's name again?
Bert: Kyle.
Ernie: That's right.
(they get to room 29 and open the door)
Ernie: Here it is. Our new room!
Bry: Ernie! Bert! You're finally here. Welcome!
Bert: We get to live here with you?
Bry: That's right!
Ernie: Hey, how 'bout that!
Big Bird: And me too!
Telly: Don't forget about me!
Ernie: Big Bird and Telly? Bert, it's Big Bird and Telly!
Bert: Yeah, I know!
Ernie: I knew this was going to be fun!
Bert: (laughs)
Bry: Come on in and make yourselves comfortable. You'll have to excuse some of the mess. We're still unpacking and doing a little remodelling of the room. We wanted to wait a bit on it though until you two got here. Here come the bats with your stuff. Thanks, bats!
Bert: That's not even half of it.
Big Bird: Really?
Ernie: We've got a truck load of stuff coming in the morning.
Telly: Where are you going to sleep if you don't have your beds?
Bert: We have our sleeping bags.
Ernie: About those sleeping bags...
Bert: You didn't forget them, did you?
Ernie: Well...maybe..
Bert: Oh, Ernie...
Bry: Hey, that's okay. I have a couple extras you can use.
Bert: Nifty. Thanks.
Bry: Your welcome.

[Java]

<Melissa writes note to sleeping Sprocket saying that she will see him after work tonight and quietly leaves the dorms.>

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Sure looks like a lot of our friends are getting nice and settled in
Red: Yeah! I should start getting ready for the football season! Gotta get my cheerleaders lined up!
Abby: What is a cheerleader?
Red: They're people who yell and chant things at football games. It's alot of fun, we do some acrobatics too
Abby: Ooh, can I be one?
Red: Sure! I could use someone with some spunk like you!
Beth: Well, I can help you make signs later for tryouts. Right now I gotta get to work
Red: See you tonight!
Abby: Bye!

[ReneeLouvier]

*The two of them finally get back to the dorms, after a belated goodbye from her parents. They get their key from Count, and head up towards their room.*

Sara: Can't believe it took so long, Scoot.

Scooter: I can't believe your knee is still out of commission...*has a mixture of a smirk and a frown on his face.*

Sara: Well, I can't believe my cousin Kevin dosn't know the meaning of the words, "Stop, my knee is hurt. I can't wrestle you today!" *frowns and shakes her head a bit, smirking*

Scooter: He apperently liked the easy target then.

Sara: He's a sadist then. I had my soft knee brace on, and he still tackled me like it was normal or something. Ugh. *Sets her suitcases down on the floor, and notices their futons and rag rug are already back in their room.*

Scooter: I thought we would have had to ask someone....

Sara: It's probably because I wasn't sure if that meant "clean everything out" or "just take what you need". Can't believe Jim, Jerry, and Frank won't be with us this time around.

Scooter: Well, they had some tours and stuff, didn't they?

Sara: Yep. Well, let's get unpacking alright? I think Ed and Count wanted to know what our room looks like, or something...

*Our room is quite simple, with painted navy blue walls, along with various striped "bubbles" of a lighter blue shade. The ceiling is painted with clouds and a pale blue sky, and a "ray" of sunlight extends down from a corner, all the way down onto the floor. The flooring is hard cherry wood, with a "rag rug" in front of both futons, and a plush kermit-green oval in front of the couch/tv center.

Both of their futons are simple black fabric-covered mattresses, with plush comforters on top. Sara's is a black/white comforter, with a kermit green fitted sheet on the futon mattress. While Scooter's is a pretty cornflower yellow comforter, with a darker green fitted sheet.

They have a TV/VCR/DVD combonation in the corner of the room, with many DVD's laying about, usually in a not-that-neat pile near the tv. House MD, Muppets, Sesame Street, various comedic anime, all litter their DVD/VCR holding area.

Sara's desk holds her laptop, and some of her own copies of her fanfiction in book format. Scooter's desk holds his desktop computer, and his laptop; as well as his three clipboards; all stuffed with various information.

Their kitchen area is stuffed to the gills with gourmet food items, as Sara is training herself to become a Head Chef. She has her certificate of completation of Culinary Arts from Pelion High School, hanging proudly in the kitchen, above another one that says "Lord Bless This Mess."

Every morning when she wakes up, one can find her roaming the halls of the dorms, getting her knee, once again back into shape.*

[The Count]

Uh... You mean you head "down" to your room Sara. Not to worry, everybody pretty much jumbles the location of their rooms in relationship to the others... Thought I kinda helped avoid when I gave everybody their keys onthe first run-through after reopening.

Oh well, it's just so good to see you here again Sara. Was a bit worried for a moment. Oh, and you'll be happy to know that a fellow RHLC member's living right next door to you. Erin I think her name is, or something like that.
Just knock if you need us, have a great day.

[christyb]

*Skeeter and Christyb walk up to Sara and Scooter's room leaving a basket of goodies and a note to Scooter*

Scooter,
Welcome Back! It's about time you made it slow poke.
Love, Skeeter

P.S. From Christyb--Enjoy the goodies and if you need any help getting back in shape or have some form of daring in you stop by room two and try out the rope jungle that someone won't take down!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(pokes head out door and grabs the day's IHT, which is sitting on the doormat)

Hey, Sara, good to see you again...and that goes double for you too, Scooter! (turns head) Nora, Scooter's back!

Nora: (comes running out) Hey, Scooter, I need to talk to you about the script...after Gonzo's human gumball machine act and Miss Piggy's Viking pig solo, why does Kermit have "start writing last will and testament" written in the margins?
MN: Nora, we're going to be putting up wallpaper and stuff after I get off work, okay? I just discovered that this place has a kitchen as well, and it needs some tidying up.
Nora: Got it.
(Storyteller returns, with several well-scribbled on rolls of parchment.)
Storyteller: I'm going to have carpal tunnel before I'm forty. Oh, well, life goes on.

[The Count]

IHT? Not familiar with that, er, daily delivery. Gotta get washed up, I'm leaving for an afternoon reading at the campus.
Count, we'll probably reveal our layout later tonight.
Count: Wery vell... Just love vhat we've done vith the place.
*Goes down to the other hall, down to Floor 1's Bathrooms.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Whoops, forgot to mention that the local branch of the IHT has a courier pigeon service. I told them I had moved shop, so they arranged to have a pigeon fly the paper in for me early in the morning. If you want me to make other arrangements, I can; shouldn't be too much of a problem.

IHT: International Herald Tribune...also known as Richard's preferred paper.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: Thanks guys! Hey, Skeeter's here! Awesome to have you guys around us.

Scooter: Slow poke?! *leans his head out the doorway to yell at Skeeter, a playful edge to his voice.* It's only because Sara's knee is still out, you know! I would have been here before you!!

Sara: Scooter...?

Scooter: That's Skeeter for you...she's always called me a slow poke. Among other things.

Sara: Well, she did take gymnastics while you took to the computer. *giggles, as she sits down in front of her laptop, starting it up.*

Scooter: Oh, and Nora....that's because Miss Piggy is probably going to be in a snit after she realizes just what's going to happen in the Viking Pigs skit. *double checks his clipboard, then realizes it's Sara's*

Sara: She gets thrown off-board the ship, because the Vikings don't like her operatic singing.

Scooter: Yeah, that's why he put that in the margin.

[The Count]

No, that's perfectly all right Erin. You can keep your daily delivery service, was just curious as to what you were talking about.
Guess my casual RHLC membership's showing off its expiration. Better go and get it casually renewed.

Sorry, but I'm running a little late, talk to you guys and gals later.
*Leaves dorms en route to the campus.
Good thing we have a shuttle service, makes it easier for someone like me to get there on time.

[Erine81981]

Hey Grover. Where here to eat lunch with you.

Grover: Ok. I will be done here soon. Meet you in the back.

Gotcha! Come on guys.

Cookie M: Mmmmm lookie at those cakes and cookies!

Herry: Come on Cookie. Your not eatting anything over there. *grabs Cookie's arm*

Maurice: So this where you work?

Yep.

Herry: So do I.

Yeah he has a the same job as me. As you saw Grover works in deli.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

No, that's perfectly all right Erin. You can keep your daily delivery service, was just curious as to what you were talking about.
Guess my casual RHLC membership's showing off its expiration. Better go and get it casually renewed.

Sorry, but I'm running a little late, talk to you guys and gals later.
*Leaves dorms en route to the campus.
Good thing we have a shuttle service, makes it easier for someone like me to get there on time.

Yes, do get it casually renewed if you wish.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: How are you liking living in the Dorms, Baby Bear?

BABY BEAR: It is awesome, Ralph the Parrot likes living here too and he gets along with Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Me and Ralph played checkers last night

PETER: That's Good

ZOE: Me and Rocco is going to a ballet class, Peter

PETER: Okay, Zoe, see ya

LITTLE BIRD: What are we going to do, Peter?

PETER: How about going swimming

LITTLE BIRD: Sounds Good

BABY BEAR: I got my swimming trunks with me

[Erine81981]

Walmart Employee: I just don't feel so happy. In the dumps. So blue.

*over hears* Guys?

Monsters: What?

I think we need to do a little helping out with this here employee.

Maurice: What did you have in mind?

Cookie M: How about some cake?!

Herry: No Cookie Monster. Cake can't always be to cheer people up.

Walmart Employee: I wouldn't mind a cake.

Herry: Nah. You wouldn't.

Walmart Employee: Yes I would!

(everyone ignores her)

Deli Grover: Then why not a song?

Sounds good to me Grover. Hit it!

(some one starts playing a piano)

Me: When I'm feeling sort of down,
Or when I'm feeling cross,
Adored or bored or just ignored,
Or scared and kind of lost.

Grover: Why it can happen any time,
Or anywhere I guess.
I hear a voice inside my head,
And this is what it says.

Herry: You need a,

Me and Grover: Sweet, sweet, sweet little treat.

Me: Something fun to nibble.

Grover: To make your middle giggle.

Cookie Monster: Some kind of,

Me and Grover: Sweet, sweet, sweet little treat.
A delicious little tidbit of yummy snack to eat.

Maurice: So if your heart is in the dumps,
Or if you're feeling hurt,

Herry: Don't feel blue when dinner's through,
Remember there's dessert.

Me: And if the day seems gloomy.
Not going like it should.
A teensie bite of sweet delight,
Will do a world of good.

Herry and Cookie Monster: You need a,

Everyone (in the store): Sweet, sweet, sweet little treat.
Something fun to nibble,
To make your middle giggle.

Me: Some kind of,

Everyone (in the store): Sweet, sweet, sweet little treat.
Something swell to munch on,
To chew or suck or crunch on,
Have one or have a bunch,
Of gooey, sticky treats to eat.

[redBoobergurl]

*Red goes around dorms tacking up signs for cheerleading tryouts.*

The sign says:

Do you like watching football?

Do you have team spirit and want to cheer for our Muppet College Frogs?

Come tryout for the 2006 Cheerleading Team! Tryouts will be held Thursday, Sept 7 and Friday Sept 8. All levels of experience welcome to join us! For more information contact Red Fraggle, Team Captain in Room 3.

Red: There! I hope we'll get a good squad together this year and I really hope that some of my buddies from last year come back!

[BEAR]

Ernie: Truck's here!
Bry: Truck?
Ernie: Yeah, with the rest of our stuff.
Bry: Oh good. I'll help you unload it all.
(a pigeon swoops down and lands on the window sill)
Bert: (Lights up) Bernice! Oh, Bernice! You made it. Look, Ernie! It's Bernice! (laughs)
Ernie: Yeah, I see that. What's she doing here?
Bert: Well, she was delivering papers around town.
Bry: Really? Newspapers?
Bert: It's a part-time job. What she really wants to be is an insurance salesman!
Ernie: Really?
Bert: Well...I dunno.
Ernie: Bernice isn't going to live here, is she?
Bert: And why not?
Telly: Would she play with Chuckie Sue?!
Big Bird: It would be nice to have another feathered friend around. Hey, she can even join the Birdkateers if she wants!
Bert: I dunno, Big Bird. Bernice isn't really into that sort of thing.
Big Bird: Are you sure?
Bert: We'll think about it.
Bry: Of course she is welcome to stay here at the dorms.
Bert: You hear that, Bernice? You can stay! Oh neat! She won't be too much trouble. She spends most of her time up on the roof with the others.
Telly: There are others?
Bry: (with a smirk) In the city, they're everywhere.
Ernie: (laughing at my joke) Kekhekhekhe!
Bry: Come on, let's get the last of your stuff from the truck so we can get the room done.

[Erine81981]

Hey there guys. Do ya'll need any help?

[BEAR]

Bert: Hi, Kyle. That would be great.
Bry: Yeah, thanks, Kyle. If you could help us with the beds and the arm chairs that would be great.
Ernie: I'll get some of these boxes.

[Erine81981]

Herry: I can help you Ernie with some of the boxes too. You know I have good stong bones.

Ok. Cookie you grab one side of the bed and I'll get the other side.

Cookie M: Ok.

Herry: *carries in some boxes* Boy Ernie. Theses are sure heavy.

Come on Cookie Monster. Aright. You need to turn to your right.

Maurice: *grabs some boxes too* I got these.

[BEAR]

Bert: Oh, be careful with some of those boxes, Maurice. It's got my paperclip and bottlecap collections in them. Oh, and that one you got there, Herry, is where I packed my books.
Ernie: I think I have one of those boxes too. (to Herry) Geesh, no wonder it's so heavy.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Bert reads to much books I see.

Maurice: Yes Bert. I will try and be careful.

*gets back from getting the bed in* There we go. Next?

Cookie M: Mmmm Bert your cookies were really good. Thanks.

Come on Cookie. Next bed.

Cookie M: Ok Kyle. *URP!* Excuse me. *laughs*

[theprawncracker]

Me: *picking up cheerleading flyer on way back to room 25* Hmm, wonder if Gonzo'll wanna try out...*waves to Kyle, Ernie, Bert, Bryan, etc.* Hey guys, I'll be down in a minute to help, gotta go put my stuff away. *goes to room and throws backpack on the couch* Not like I don't carry enough heavy junk on my back all day...Hey guys! I'm goin' down to help Ernie and Bert move in! Anyone wanna come?

Clifford: Ya ain't gonna get no answer from anyone but me dude.

Me: Oh, hey Cliff, where are the others?

Clifford: Uncle D.'s off in the fan-fic library, and Gonzo and Camilla went to buy some sorta stunt suplies or somethin'. You know I don't listen...

Me: Heh. Okay, well you wanna come help?

Cliff: Sure dude, I got nothin' better to do. Let's get goin'.

*both go downstairs to help Ernie and Bert move in*

[Erine81981]

Hey Ryan. Hey Clifford. Come to help I see.

Cookie M: Hey guys! *waves and almost drops his half of the bed*

Watch it Cookie. Next time could be your foot.

Cookie M: Sorry.

Herry: Hey Ryan. Clifford! *carring more boxes*

Maurice: Ryan is it? *puts down stuff* I'm Maurice the monster. Nice to meet you. *holds out hand* Clifford! *picks stuff back up* Nice to meet ya'll.

[BEAR]

Bert: Cookies? What cookies?
Ernie: Uh...those were mine, Bert.
Bert: In the bed?
Ernie: (pats Bert's back) Don't worry about it.
Bry: Hey, Ryan and Cliff. Thanks for helping out. How about you guys take this chair while I help Telly with the other one.
Telly: Okay!
Big Bird: What's in this big box, Ernie?
Ernie: Just a bunch of toys and stuff.
Big Bird: (looking inside) Wow! You have some fun stuff!
Ernie: Oh, those aren't my toys, Big Bird. They're Rubber Duckie's! (laughs)
Big Bird: Oh, okay.
Ernie: That trunk right there is where my toys are.
Big Bird: Gotcha!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *lifts Ernie's toy trunk* OOMF! Good grief do you have toy rocks Ernie?! Oh...Ugh...Hi Maurice, nice to meet you...

Clifford: *carrying small box* Yeah, same from me.

Me: Urgh...Don't strain yourself Cliff...

Cliff: Oh don't worry, I won't. Uh-oh...

Me: Uh-oh? What uh-oh?

Gonzo: *barges into Ryan* RYAN! There you are! Come on come on, more commentary! I've gotta know what happened to me!

Me: *on the floor with chest on...er...Chest* Well...Gonzo...If...I could breath...We would go...

Clifford: That's the uh-oh by the way Ry. *lifts chest of Ryan's chest* Heh heh, you two go on, I'll stay back and help here.

Me: Okay Cliff...*rubs chest* C'mon Gonzo, let's go...I've got a coma...I mean...Comma to show you...

[BEAR]

Bry: Well, that looks like everything. Thanks everyone for all your help.
Ernie: Yeah, we really owe ya one!
Bry: Now, it's time to put it all where it goes. C'mon, guys!

[BEAR]

Bry: (aside to Ryan) By the way, do you know if Floyd's gotten his hands on any penguins.

(*Note: Muppet Survivor reference, folks.)

[theprawncracker]

Me: *coming back to whisper to Bry* Yeah, he's grabbed a few...He's still lookin' for most though. *shifty eyes*

(*Note: Yes, a reference to Muppet Survivor.)

[Java]

Hi Sprocket. I'm back home now. It was a long day.

<Melissa pauses and sniffs the air>

Say, what are you up to? That really smells good.

<launches into full pantomine mode with plenty of whines, barks, and other odd assormtnets of noise telling Melissa to go shower and put on comfortable clothes. He's got it all covered. After she showers she can have this delicous dinner, watch a movie, and only after that may she catch up on fan-fiction.>

Yes, sir. Read you loud and clear.

<Grabs shower basket and clothes and goes to follow instructions.>

[BEAR]

Telly: Hey, Bry! Did you hear? My buddy Baby Bear moved in next door! Can I go say hello?
Bry: Maybe a little later. After we work on this room.
Telly: Okay...

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Okay, guys...we're doing the kitchen in cream, the bathroom in art-deco style, the sitting room in green and light bronze, Nora's room in lavender...and I want to do a mural of London in mine.

Nora: Be sure to include Baker Street! (starts slathering lavender paint on her wall)
MN: Gotcha covered. (starts drawing Abbey Road on a blank wall)
(Storyteller starts dabbing some bronze paint on a wall, humming the Ballad of Sir Blunderbrain as she goes)
Nora: You shoulda seen Miss Piggy at rehearsals today...(shudder)

[The Count]

*Finally gets back to room... Man, I'm so tired...
Count: So much going on.
Yeah, I heard.
Count, pausing: Hear that?
Yes, wonderful thunder resounding outside the dorms tonight.
Count: You know vhat that means...
Go fright ahead my friend, you have a key to the room, just try to be quiet when you get back.
Count: Thank you! *Rushes out to the common room, goes up elevator and stays in Floor 2's common room counting the thunder and lightning.
Always puts a smile on my face, but I'm tired fright now.

Ryan... You do know Bryan's room's down the hall from yours?
Well, I'll be PM'ing the two of you shortly.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan... You do know Bryan's room's down the hall from yours?
Well, I'll be PM'ing the two of you shortly.

Me: Yeah, I kinda figured that when Ernie dropped that dang toy chest outside my dorm room earlier...*joking look* And I look forward to the PM!

Gonzo: But Ryan, it is the PM, and it's been the PM since noon when it took over for AM...Sheesh, pay attention.

[BEAR]

Me: Yeah, I kinda figured that when Ernie dropped that dang toy chest outside my dorm room earlier...*joking look* And I look forward to the PM!

Gonzo: But Ryan, it is the PM, and it's been the PM since noon when it took over for AM...Sheesh, pay attention.


Ernie: Good one, Gonzo. I'll have to use that one on Bert sometime. (Laughs) Oh, sorry about the toy chest, Ryan. I'll have it cleaned up.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh don't worry Ern. It's been awhile since I played with toys...And Uncle Deadly seems to enjoy it too.

UD: Ooh yes! I love playing with old toys, brings back many many memories.

[BEAR]

UD: Ooh yes! I love playing with old toys, brings back many many memories.

Ernie: (slowly turns to see Uncle Deadly's glowing eyes staring at him) Wh-wh-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooo!!!!! (runs away as fast as he can)

[theprawncracker]

UD: ...Bryan's roommates have really gotten a culture shock from me...

Me: More like a cult shock...

[Erine81981]

Maurice: *sees Ernie running by* Poor Ernie. He looks to have seen a ghost.

Grover: I-i-i-it is that one. *points to UD*

Maurice: He sure does! *chewing on his fingers*

Herry: Don't worry guys. He's on our side.

Grover: I know but he still gives me the creeps.

Maurice: You got that right.

Oscar: *pops up* Heh heh heh heh heh...

Herry: What you laughing at Oscar?

Oscar: Oh nothing.

Herry: What is that smirk on your face?

Oscar: Oh nothing. Heh heh heh heh....*slams trashlid*

Herry: Guys. I think Oscar is up to something.

Grover: That is not like grouchie. Wonder what it could be?

[tvlistingman]

Peter: I'm doing an old Milwaukee fictional TV schedule from October 11, 1989

Zoe: Cool

Baby Bear: It is a nice dorm, Peter

Little Bird: Me and Ralph, your parrot, Baby Bear get along together

Baby Bear: Wow!!!, you are playing checkers with Ralph

Little Bird: Yes!

Zoe: and Both you and Little Bird get along might fine, Baby Bird

Ralph: (SQUAWK)

Peter: Tomorrow, there is cheerleader tryouts, would you like to go, Zoe

Zoe: Of Course, that should be fun!!!

Little Bird: Good for you!, Zoe!

[theprawncracker]

UD: It's too bad that I can't go anywhere without scaring anyone...Ah well, tis more fun that way! Bwa ha ha ha!

[BEAR]

Bert: Ernie, what's the matter?
Telly: Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost!
Ernie: I did! But not just any ol' ghost. It was a dragon ghost!
Bert: A dragon ghost? Come on, Ernie. It's just your imagination. Come on now, let's finish setting up our room, huh? I can't decide where to put my rock garden.
Ernie: Beeeert!
Bert: Okay, okay...what did he look like?
Ernie: He had a long mouth, Bert.
Bert: A long mouth?
Ernie: Uh huh. And scaley bluish skin. And beady yellow glowing eyes!! It was terrible!
Bert: Now, Ernie...I am sure you are just a little nervous because we are in a new place and it's different. Your mind is playing tricks on you.
Ernie: But what if he comes back in the middle of the night and comes to my bed while I'm sleeping and goes "Wubba Wubba Wubba!"
Bry: Actually, there is a dragon ghost in the dorms, Bert.
Bert: You see, Ernie. There is...there IS?
Bry: Yeah, he *ahem* "lives" down the hall with Ryan. His name is Uncle Deadly.
Bert: Deadly?
Ernie: Told you so.
Bry: But don't worry about him. He really is harmless.
Telly: Well, not too harmless. He did steal my peanut butter sandwich one time.
Bry: Oh, Telly... Really, guys. He's not so bad once you get to know him.
Big Bird: Yeah, he's actually pretty nice. A little strange, but nice.
Bry: Yeah. Now come on, lets get this room done so we can post our layout/description soon. (everyone, except Bert, continues working)

(pause)

Bert: (still standing stiff) Deadly?

[BEAR]

Bry: Well, looks like we're done...finally. I dunno about you guys, but I'm too tired to post the room layout now. But I'm not too tired to say that Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the Letter P and by the Number 17.
(17 Penguins walk outside the window)
Goodnight!

[Beauregard]

Hey Guys, I posted this post before, and then realised we had new rules, etc, so I've checked in with The Count by PM and am now checking in legally!

--

Bo: *stands on doorstop with carpet bags* So..that trip to England didn't go too badly...
Bobo: Except that our room was emptied...
Beau: ...and pain-ted.
Bo: Things could have been worse...

Bean Bunny: BEAN? Bean? Oh! You called for this bundle of cuteness and the bunny has answered your precious little call! Hi, I'm Bean! And I am seriously worse...

Beau: The easter bunny?
Bobo: Does he come in chocolate?
Bo: What...are you doing here?

Bean: *bounce* Being me! *rushes inside* Hi there Ed, we'd like a room for...one, two, three, FOUR including me! In the basement if you please! Room #13 will do fine, fine, fine! Where do I sign?

Bo: At the a-sign-lem...
Beau: The what?
Bobo: White coats, Beau, white coats.

[The Count]

Oh hi Bo... Good to see you here again. Sure, there are a few rooms down in the basement still available. You still want #13? Would've thought you'd want #4 so you could be next to Christy. Oh well, your choice. Just LMK if you'd prefer #4 or stick with #13. Feel free to settle for the night here in the lobby's sitting area.

*Bo you can either post or PM me which of the two rooms you want.
Hope this helps.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *moves through the lobby* Hi there Ed. Now I'm not sure exactly who that bunny thinks he is...
Bean: I'm Bean. I'm cute. I'm oh so adoreable.
Bo: ...but we don't need room 13, we'd rather have Room 4 next to Christy.
Beau: Christy B...
Bobo: B?
Bo: Yeah, that's kinda fitting seeing our love for alliteration in roomies...
Bean: Oh! And what do I begin with! B! You've gotta love me!
Bobo: He is kinda cute there...
Beau: He'd make a cute pot-pie...
Bean: Oh! Me in a cute pork-pie hat! What an image!
Bo: *interupts fight* Can we get the Room 4 key?

[The Count]

*Chuckling... Sure... *Grabs key from hook beneath marble 4 on backwall.

OK, through the lobby doors and into the common room's elevator we go. Hi Seymour.
Seymour: Hello sirs, new roomies?
Yep, old friend of ours... Bo and his sometimes slightly confusing crew.
Seymour: Riiiiight. Well, have a good day.
*Elevator goes down one floor to the basement.

OK, now a quick turn to our left... And here we are, second door down on our right. *Hands key to Bo. Well, your room's directly across from Beth's, and you're in between Christy's and Kathy's rooms. Mine is that one diagonally across to the left from yours, with the big number 1 on front. Knock if you need anything, great to have you here again pal.

[JaniceFerSure]

Diana: I need to make some coffee and figure out what to make us for breakfast Dr. Teeth.

Dr. Teeth: How about waffles and flapjacks all around,same batter different form.

Diana: Sounds good to me.Noticed the news from MuppetCentral,twas nice to see so early in the morning,that a lot of the classic sketches will be added in the dvd box set.A must buy the week before Halloween,have to buy the Electric Company box sets too.

Dr. Teeth: Sounds like a plan.What is that you are watching on the computer player?

Diana: The ventriloquist Jeff Dunham,one of the best puppet entertainers still around today.

Floyd: So,what are we doing today Diana?

Diana: No plans as of yet Floyd,still early in the day.I do need to fill our mini-fridge.

Zoot: We have a fridge?

Diana: Brought it in when everyone was outside playing frisbee golf.

Janice: Excellent idea.A place for snacks and other food items.

Diana: There's also a nice full moon for the next couple of days,awesome.

[Beauregard]

Bean: Oh look! A carpet!
Beau: ...
Bobo: ...
Bo: Yeah, it's a carpet...

Bean: Oh look! Wallpaper!
Bo: ...
Bobo: ...
Beau: We need some paint on that...

Bean: Oh look! A bed! *divesbombs out of the room and lands in the only bed in the apartment* I shall call it Bedjamin, and she shall be mine!
Bo: The bed is a she?
Beau: Of course it's a she...it wouldn't be a he-bed...
Bobo: Do I get to name the fridge? Can I call it Endenborough Fridge Festival?
Bo: I'm going to claim this small patch of floor and faint on it in confusion, ok?
Bean: Which patch? We'll have to talk about that...

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Oh... I hear the sounds of confusion coming from the first floor. Sounds like Bo and his roommates are back.
Betty Lou: Kim, can you help me braid my pigtails please?
Kim: Sure thing, Betty Lou.
Tosh: Are you going to work again?
Kim: Yes, I'm going to work again. My boss asked me to work today, so I am. Besides, money, bills, remember?
Gillis: How long will you be gone today?
Kim: Just until 5. How about after I get back, we go out to Everybody Eats tonight instead of having supper at the dorm?
Betty Lou: Yeah!
Tosh: Sure!
Gillis: A wonderful idea.
Boober: Have they recieved a good rating from a certified health inspector?
Kim: *sighs* Yes, Boober.
Boober: Okay, I'm in.

-Kim

[The Count]

Yep... Sure is good to have Bo back here with us. Confidentially, we might need to put Bobo on security detail. There've been a few suspicious people trying to move to Muppet Central, the main bourough where we and the town of Hensonville are located. They've all been booted out swiftly, escorted to the city limits, though they keep trying to get in.

Oh well, I'm sure Dean Mayor Chapman's got a handle of the situation. Just be careful guys.
See you around the dorms.

[Java]

Hey Sprocket, you made such a wonderful mean last night. Just the thing to put me in the right mood.

<holding stomach> Arr, ruff, ruff.

Yes, I know your hungry now, it has been a long time since dinner. Let's head to Everybody eats for a meal before I have to nap. I have to work night shift tonight.

<Sprocket runs to door waiting impatiently for Melissa to get shoes on.>

[Java]

<Furious typing can be heard coming from Melissa's computer.>

Ruff, bark, bark. <Sprocket pantomimes coming to bed as he walks over and places paws on Melissa's back.>

I know. I know Sprocket. I'm going to have a really hard time getting through the night and then my meeting in the morning if I don't nap now.

Arr-roo. <Pokes head between Melissa's elbow into her lap.>

I just have to get this chapter down now though or I'll lose it. After that I promise to nap.

<Sits down impatiently beside her.>

I'm hurrying. Sheesh.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Groans> Where's the corny heaty thingy?
Robin: The WHAT?
Lisa: The corny heaty thingy.
Rowlf: Beg pardon?
Lisa: The corny heaty thingy! I need it...
Rowlf: Why?
Lisa: Because I'm sore all over and I tried icing last night and it didn't help so now I wanna try the corny heaty thingy but I can't find it! <Whimpers> I want the corny heaty thingy...
Robin: Well if you tell me what it looks like, I'll try to help you find it!
Rowlf: Why are you so sore?

Rowlf: You're a sheep?
Lisa: NO! I get into the shapes of different letters for my acting class.
Rowlf: Oh...
Lisa: Yes, O and I and E and Y and Z and A and U.
Robin: Me?
Lisa: ...Nevermind.
Robin: Okay.
Lisa: So no one knows where the corny heaty thingy is?
Rowlf: No one knows WHAT the corny heaty thingy is!
Lisa: Fine. Fine... If I can't FIX the problem... <pulls out bottle of aspirin> I'll HIDE it! <looks at bottle.> Hopefully.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *sits on the floor watching Star Trek* Ooh, it's so lame...
Bobo: *sits on the floor watching Star Trek* Why do the monsters wear such lame make-up when they could just...get monsters?
Beau:*sits on the floor watching Star Trek* ...I thought they did get monsters? That's the point?
Bobo: Not get, get as in get them on the show!
Beau: They always get them by the end of the show...
Bean: I made LUNCH!
Bobo: Great, I'm starving!
Bean: I made lunch for me! I am such an archiever! Don't I rule? Guys? Hmm? I got myself a cute little slice of bread...
Bobo: *groans*
Bean: ...and accidently dropped all he butter on the floor by accident...
Beau: *groans*
Bean: Then I made a sandwich! All by myself! *plants self in front of the TV with sandwhich* What are we watching?

(door to number 7 creaks open)

MN: (slouching in) Tower, this is the Lame Duck, requesting permission to land...or more accurately, crash...(does a spectacular backward fall into a bean bag chair)
Nora: Hard day?
MN: I wish it was that good...a day full of FOIAs and playing phone tag with sources...and those guys from Tongue magazine wanting to botch us up at every turn...and I've got a splitting headache.
Nora: I know...I was helping out down at Coming Unbound this afternoon and I got brained when a shelf of romances collasped on me.
MN: (singing) Love hurts...
Storyteller: And here I thought the lobotomy patient look was in this season (points to bandages on Nora's head). As for me, I had to refile all the legends, and I've got more paper cuts than a Gorg has hairs.
MN: We'll work on the murals and stuff some more tomorrow.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *comes in, pulls out her computer chair and sits down* No one bother me; I am not moving from this spot come heck-'er-high water.
Gillis: Feet hurt?
Kim: AND my knees AND my hips AND my lower back.
Boober: Oh dear. *pulls on her hand* You should lie down right away. What would you prefer to use; moist heat or ice packs?
Tosh: *pulling Boober away* Boober, leave her alone; she already knows what she's doing.
Boober: Sorry. I got carried away.
Kim: "No," she said sarcastically.
Betty Lou: Are we still going to Everybody Eats?
Kim: In a bit. And that's if we don't get a better offer from my folks.
Boober: Why would your parents have a better offer?
Kim: Because they're having the kitchen redone, and until that's finished they won't have a kitchen. So they'll be ordering in and eating out a lot. And we've got a standing invitation to join them whenever we want.
Roomies: Ah.
Beast: *grumbles a question*
Kim: It depends; if they don't allow Beasts, you can stay here and we'll bring you a doggie bag.
Boober: Why? He's a Beast, not a "doggie".
Kim: ...It's just an expression, Boober.

Bean: Hey! Help me! Ouch! That's so mean, blue guy! Stop it! Make him stop!

[The Count]

*Coming back to dorms... Hey, break it up you guys. Don't wanna give folks the wrong impression.
*Pries Bean off of UD's leg and sends the bunny back to Bo. Just don't let it happen again.
*Moves downstairs to get some dinner ordered and a couple of fanfics from the library.

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Aight Uncle D. Cool it. Those screams can prolly be heard all the way in Ryan's fan-fic!

UD: Oh, pish posh Clifford. That's not possible...*dusts self off* Humph that'll teach you to mess with me mister Bunny.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Pish posh sounds British...are you related to Britian in any way?
Bean: So! *to Clifford* Is that all your real hair?

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Alright, that's it, let me at him!!

UD: *restrains Clifford* Excuse him, he's a little testy...He just took a test in class...

[Beauregard]

Bobo: A little tasty...is there any food?
Beau: Any food anywhere ever? yes.
Bo: No!
Beau; There isn't?
Bean: I fancy LASAGNA, hey un-dead guy?

*picks up a stray Cheerleading tryout flier*

Christyb: I wonder if Skeeter would like to join. That is if she has time between gymnastics, swim team, girls basketball, and whatnot else.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Man, that's some bruise I got today.
MN: (lying on bunk) Let me guess...judging from the size of the dent mark, it was the latest tome from some Regency romance author. (makes gagging noise to indicate her opinion of such literature)
Nora: Yeah, Mrs. Farley is crazy about them.
Storyteller: (applying antiseptic cream to paper cuts) Crazy sounds like the right word, then.

Beth: How did tryouts go today Red?
Red: Well, so far I've got me, Abby and Zoe. I hope some more people do it.
Abby: Me too
Beth: I'm sure you'll get some more

[Fragglemuppet]

Lou: (jumping up suddenly* Oh no, I forgot! The cheerleader tryouts were todayReally? Well, don't worry. I'm sure there's another one tomorow.
Lou: I think there is.
Wembly: Besides, Red knows you, and she knows how good you were last year. I'm sure she'll let you join again.
Lou: I'm sure you're right Wembly. I'll just call her and make sure there really is a tryout tomorow.
Great. Why don't you do that, and I'll submit our room discription online.
Lou: *heading to the phone* Sounds good. I'm pretty sure her and Beth are up now.
I'm sure they are.
*She makes her call, while I log on to the school's page.*

Room Discription:

When you first walk into the room, there is a closet on the left which I use, with a shelf for some of Gobo's less-used maps. Since he spends most of his time at the dorm now, that means most of them. There is also a shoe rack inside, for my, and dress shoes for special occasions.
Further in on the left, is my burow, on top of which is a decorative lamp, and a small jewlry box with some odds and ends.Immediately afterwards is my bed, which has a very comfortable feather matress cover on it, might I add. Beside it, lined up, are the three fraggles' beds, slightly lower to the ground than mine. At the foot of Gobo's bed, (he's the furthest to the right), there's a computer desk, the drawers of which serve as a main storage space for the fraggles. Finally, above my bed, there's a small window seat, which contains a small CD/tape/radio combo, and a small stack of CD's. (I spend most of my time listening to internet radio anyway.)

*Turning to Lou* So?
Lou: It's all set. I'm meeting with Red and the gang tomorow.
Oh good. Well, I'm going to bed. Good night everyone.
Lou: Good night. See you bright and early tomorow! You have work, you know!
Don't remind me.
Gobo: *chuckling* Good night, Kate.
Good night. *turning off light and literally falling into bed*

[Katzi428]

Prairie:YIKES!ROSITA!
Rosita:*sitting up in bed with a start*Que pasa,Prairie? I was almost asleep!
Prairie...you OK?
Prairie:I'm fine,but I almost forgot that Rosita and I need to sign up for cheerleading tryouts!
Rosita and I look at each other
Rosita:Prairie...you couldn't have waited until tomorrow to tell me this?
Prairie:Oh Rosita...I'm sorry.And you too,Kath. It's just that I try to think of the things I need to do the next day before I go to bed.
*sigh* OK Prairie...you're forgiven. But don't call Red as soon as you get up,okay?
Prairie: I won't.Goodnight,Kath.Goodnight,Rosita.
Rosita:Buenos noches Prairie & Kathy
Goodnight girls.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *Walking around the dorms, until she notices Uncle Deadly standing outside the room for a few moments* Hey, Uncle D? Can I ask you a few questions?

*She smiles a bit, a mischevious smile crossing her face.* I've got an idea for another fanfiction. And yes, I know my other one is still languishing. I intend to pick it back up. But this story involves you. With Auntie Eleanor as well.

*leans over and whispers to him* Can I make the two of you have a child? A long-lost child, that was recently found?

*Pulls back from his side, smirking broadly.* It's just a small idea running about my head. Mull over it for awhile, tell me what you think, then.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *finds mobile phone and calls Renee* Hey, good morning. Look, I know we have our differences and that I should be totally supporting Steve's characters right now...but I have a bit of a problem that needs exterminating in my appartment, his name is *whipers* Bean...
Bean: Did you call? Oh! Telephone! Is it your mummy?
Bo: No...It is not my Mummy...
Bean: Your daddy?
Bo: No.
Bean: Your aunt?
Bo: Will you just get away from me?
Bean: Oh I get it. *smugs smile*
Bo: So, Renee, can you maybe see if there is anything any of your RHLC group can do to help me with my predicament here?

Bobo: *shouts are heard from the next room*

[christyb]

Christyb: *inside her room laughing*

Skeeter: Who built these walls so thin? You're laughing I can't believe it!

Christyb: What??!! So I delight in my friends torture. He's the one who decided to room with Bean not me. I got you.

Skeeter: True.....still...I'm putting more insulation in there or something.

Christyb: Shouldn't you be practicing for tryouts?

Skeeter: Oh yeah...

[Katzi428]

Ernie: What about the football team?
Bry: What?
Ernie: Is there a football team? I'd sure like to be on it.
Bry: Of course there's a football team. I think Clifford was the team captain last year. Maybe he is again this time. We should ask him about it. Come on, let's get some lunch.
Ernie: Okay!

Clifford: *returning from class with Ryan* And THAT'S why I have dreadlocks.

Me: Hmm...Intersting. That would make a good fan-fic oneday...

Gonzo: Ryan Ryan Ryan!! *runs in front of us*

Me: Hey Gonzo, let's wait and do commentary a bit later, okay?

Gonzo: Who cares about that?! I wanna try out to be the mascot! Is that okay?!

Me: Sheesh...Yeah, go right ahead. Oh, and be sure to tell Red that I apologize for placing you upon her.

Gonzo: Okay! Awesome! See ya! Ha ha ha! C'mon Camilla!

Camilla: Bawk bagawk! *waddles off with Gonzo*

Me: Hmm, Camilla as a cheerleader...*has image* Ooh...Bad image.

Clifford: Heh heh heh, well at least they're gone man. Now what to do with all this incredible freedom?

Me: Wanna do homework?

Clifford: You have GOT to be kidding me! And besides, I think I need to go talk to Ed about football this year.

Me: Okay...See ya Cliff!

Clifford: *leaves* See you bro!

Me: *goes inside room 25* Uncle D. ...Uncle Deadly? Where are you?

UD: *creeps behind me* BOO!

Me: Oh, hey Uncle D. there you are.

UD: *mutters* I can't even scare him...

[RedDragon]

Nyz: <staring at Cheerleader list> ...I wonder if there are any other clubs here...

Mokey: Like what?

Nyz: I don't know...<places ad on bulletin board> One artistic writer, who likes to read and loves fantasy, searching for club or team of interest.

Jabber: You're putting out a Person's for a club?

Nyz: Yep!

Jabber: You're weird...

Nyz: And proud of it!

[Fragglemuppet]

Wembly: *coming running into room* Oh no, oh no, oh no!
What, what, what?
Wembly: Well, I just saw the list of cheerleaders...
Me and Lou: And...?
Wembly: Lou's name isn't on it!
Oh, I'm sure that was just an oversite on Red's part when she was typing it up.
Gobo: Yeah, probably. WWhy don't you call her up though, just to be sure.
Lou: I think that's what I'll do. It's probably just an inocent mistake. I know I missed them yesterday, but I was at tryouts today, and I think I did alright.
*picking up the phone and calling room 3* Hi, Red? It's Lou. I just noticed that my name wasn't on the list for this year's cheerleaders, and I was just calling to see if I made the team. If not, it's alright. There's always next season, but I just thaught I'd call and make sure. Well, I guess I'll talk to you later. Thanks. Bye.
There, that's taken care of. Now just to drop an email to Ed...

[The Count]

Heh... So it's the weekend... And yet, where are the fanfiction updates? Guess people will post when they're ready... Just kinda gets to you waiting for updates to be posted, but is OK, after all... There's that thing called "Life" we all seem to have struggles with.
*Moves over to get a bowl of tater salad with some weird add-on ingredients. Mmm, mom sure made it great this time.

Sproket: Ruff, ruff, ruff-ruff

<Sprocket continues singing an unrecognizable song to himself as he rollerskates through the halls and out into the parking lot looking for something to do.>

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: ROWLF ROWLF ROWLF!
Rowlf: WHAT WHAT WHAT?
Lisa: <out of breath> ...I think... that... Dr. Bob... needs... to visit... Prawnie...
Rowlf: What makes you say that?
Lisa: It is... a matter... of grave... secrecy...
Rowlf: Oh, I try to avoid the grave.
Lisa: Not THAT grave! Here, come here. <whispers in Rowlf's ear>
Rowlf: ...Oh... that IS serious!
Lisa: Mm-hm!
Rowlf: One second. <Goes behind changing screen>
Lisa: One one-thousand.
Rowlf: <re-emerges in Dr. Bob costume> Where's the patient?
Lisa: Well, not HERE...
Rowlf/Dr. Bob: Patients have no patience these days...
Lisa: ROWLF! Er, DR. BOB! Er... YOU! Dog. Go help Prawnie. Please.
Rowlf/Dr. Bob: I'm on my way! <Goes to room 25>

[theprawncracker]

Me: *reading Book/writing something* *knock on door* Hmm, who could that be? *opens door* Oh, Dr. Bob! What's going on? Getting ready for a funeral? *wink*

[TogetherAgain]

Rowlf/Dr. Bob: Where's the impatient patient? ...Wait a minute, YOU'RE the impatient patient! Have a seat on the examining table.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *blink* You mean the coffee table? Rowlf...I mean, Dr. Bob, what's going on? ...Did Lisa send you? Oh good grief she's blown it out of proportion again...*calls off* Don't get any ideas Gonzo! *to Rowlf* Or you.

[TogetherAgain]

Rowlf/Dr. Bob: Not the coffee table, the examination table! I'm examining you, not the coffee. Although I wouldn't mind a cup of that, either.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Meh, not me, I never touch the stuff. WAIT! This is NOT about coffee it's about you examining me, and no thanks dog, I'm coo'. *turns up temperature* Seriously, it's freezing in here...

[redBoobergurl]

Red *calling Lou* : Of course you're on the team again! I wouldn't forget my Fraggle buddy! I'll fix the list right away!

Sign now reads to show Lou on the team as well.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(MN is practicing guitar while the Storyteller rewrites the legend of the Spiderfly prince. Nora throws open the door.)

MN: (sets guitar down) How was practice?
Nora: Oh, the usual. Five explosions, two floods and a citation from the health inspector. And that was before lunch.
MN: Oy. Come on in, we've got some tea and scones up.
Storyteller: (fetching pans from kitchen) Yeah, we've got two kinds: orange-cranberry and Doozer stick.
Nora: Oooh, yum. What kind of tea is it?
MN: Radish for the Fraggles...and raspberry black for Muppets and silly creatures. (grabs a cup of tea and a scone and settles down with the chords to a new song)

[Fragglemuppet]

Me: *coming into room* Who was that on the phone?
Lou: *excitedly* That was Red. I'm in!
Oh good, I thaught so.
Lou: I can't wait for the first practice!
*after a few seconds* Well, I'm starving! Whose up for a late dinner at Everybody Eats?
Wembly: Ooh, I am!
Gobo: Sure, why not?
Lou: Sounds great.
Great. Let's go. I wonder if we'll meet any of our other friends there.

BABY BEAR: Me Three!

[The Count]

Hmmm, think I'll just go over to the Rock & Roll Deli and get some sandwiches for the Count and myself there.
*Gets wallet, glasses, and walking stick and heads on up and out of the dorms.

[RedDragon]

Nyz: Submit Reply *click*

Mokey: What are you doing?

Nyz: <beaming> I just posted the first chapter of my very first FanFic ever!

Mokey: Good for you!

Nyz: <bounces up and down, waits for first reply to first chapter of first FanFic ever>

[The Count]

*Back downstairs in Room #1. Oh man, am I stuffed.
They sure have great seafood sandwiches there at the Rock & Roll Deli.
Count: Yes, and they ewen have such care and detail... So many little sesame seeds on the bread for me to count.
Yeah, and they sure make a great pecan cobblestone pie.

Well, good night guys. The room layout will have to wait. Almost ready to nod off down here.
So I'll just trust you guys to do the sponsors. Night all.

[Katzi428]

The Dorms were brought to you by the letter "C" (for cheerleaders )
& the number 6 . Night everyone!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *takes pill*

UD: *still awake* And what on Earth is that pill for?

Me: Ugh, it was prescribed by Dr. Bob...It's an ushy gushy calming pill...Layla and Lisa take 'em too.

UD: Ooh, I did see that ushy gushyness you exerted over there. Very nice my fiend.

Me: Thanks Uncle D. And good night...I'm bushed.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Hey Rowlf!
Rowlf: Yeah?
Lisa: Prawnie says to thank you- er, thank Dr. Bob, anyway, for the pills.
Rowlf: Oh. Well, tell him he's welcome.
Lisa: Will do!

Bean: What didn't he mean?
Bo: Go back to bed, sir.
Beau: O-key...
Bo: No!
Bobo: No no!
Beau: Noono?
Bean: Yes! *leaps out of bed* Race you to breakfast!

[The Count]

Hee... Got two new names for whenever I give Prawny a nice detailed review of his next story.
Saturday's here, time for new morning shows. *Gets bowl of Corn Pops and sits down in front of the TV with glass of iced tea ready to watch everything.

[Java]

<Melissa hangs up the phone and peers over bed to look at Sprocket>
Sprocket, do you want to come to the beach with Chad [Melissa's husband] and me?


<Ears perk up and he starts to rumage through his trunk>

I'll take that as a yes. Than when we get back, maybe we can talk to Ed and Count about setting up a game night for the residents. I don't know, we'll see.

[Fragglemuppet]

*tacking up a notice that says* Attention Muppet Dorms! Do you like to sing? Have you ever sung before? Want to try it for the first time? Then come to the Muppet College QQuire auditions, which will be held tomorow afternoon into evening in the third floor comon room. Feel free to bring your own music ideas to perform, as well as presellected songs. Our quire will perform at all future Muppet Frogs Games, and at all parties and events. Please call room 38 to sign up.

*coming back into room*
Lou: Where were you so early in the morning? You usually don't even think about moving until at least ten.
Oh, very funny. Actually, I have a bit of a surprise for you. Remember all that talking I was doing with Ed?
Fraggles: *they purked up when they heard "surprise"* Yes.
Well, I've decided to start a chorus on for the dorms!
*mixed sounds of awe and excitement*
I know! I'm really excited about this myself! I used to sing at my other college, and since I haven't been able to sing formally in a while, I've been a little restless! So, I can count on all of you, right?
Lou: Of course!
Wembly: Yeah, it sounds great!
Gobo: Sure!
Oh good. *pause* Oh no! I forgot to say that it was open to both humans and muppets! *Corrects sign, then goes out to rehang it.*

[Beauregard]

Bo: *in the hall* Choir...
Bobo: Choir?
Beau: Chore? I just did them!
Bean: I love to sing! I sing all day long sometimes! Cute, cute little songs like, Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow! And it's extra cute because I sing just a little out of key like an off-key cute thing! Whee!
Bo: *eyebrow raise*
Bobo: *eyebrow lower*
Beau: Oops...I think I left our keys inside our room...
Bo: Oh! Let's go back and get them! Bean, you wait here. Bobo and Beau, you come with me.
Bean: No it's fine! I'll come! I need the excersise in prep for my Cheerleading!

[RedDragon]

Nyz: *is bouncy* People are actually reading my story!

Jabber: Yeah. So maybe you should write more.

Nyz: Oh yeah.....I guess I should do that.....

Jabber: Yes, before they start firing the penguin cannons...

Nyz: I'll wait for Lisa to sign on....I'll need her help soon enough....

[The Count]

OK... Morning shows are over.
*Refills iced tea tumbler and heads upstairs to the reading room.

Come on Count, we got some fanfics to read up on now in the afternoon.
Count: Vonderful!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I'm going to join the choir
Red: That's great! You love to sing, it's perfect!
Abby: You have a nice voice, I wish I could sing like that
Beth: Well you just keep working on it, trust me, it was years and years before I could sing well. Anyway, I'm excited, because now I'll have something to do on campus too!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (leaves note for Ed) "Ed, is it okay if we start up Birdkateers again this thursday? Thanks, Big Bird." That should do it. Wow! So many new activities.

[The Count]

Well, the time has come... The walrus said... To talk of finer things...

OK, here's what our room looks like, did some remodeling from last year's descript.
There's a big white number 1 embossed on the outside of our door, much like the other embossed numbers on the rest of the rooms' doors. *Helps find a particular room easier that way.
The inside walls are painted in a subdued wine red, highlighted by black gothic ledges near the ceiling. We have softened beige tiled floors with thin black spiderweb lining connecting all the squares, much like a floored chessboard. As soon as you turn to either side of the door, there are two side indentations. That's where our closets are placed, against the same wall as the door but with some space inside. Both closets house our dresser drawers and clothes posted upon the hangman's bar. Mine has polo shirts, jeans, a few dress shirts and pants for fancy events, loafer shoes for everyday, and a pair of dress shoes. The dresser holds my other everyday clothes, T-Shirts, and sweatpants for when I'm here at the dorms. The Count's has his shirts, vests, pants, coats, and of course a variety of capes. The dressers are littered with a couple of perfume bottles and roll-on anti-perspirant bars, along with my baby shampoo bottle for when I shower.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the closets' knobs are modeled much like two orange jack o'lanterns. Walking along the outside walls... On The Count's side of the room, you'll find his faithful bat-organ. We loved the design of the original so much, we had it moved from his castle. Of Course, there are fixtures that we can attach to the tops of the organ's pipes, whenever he presses a button switching it from musical instrument to counting organ mode. There are two shelves next to the organ, at about arm's height, with a few gothic plush animals like a gargoyle, raven, and vampire bat. The Count's bed is placed laterally along the wall after that. His bed has white sheets printed with some Sesame Street friends and rows of black numbers, some of the numbers enlargened for his friends to hold on to or hide inside. The bed also features a comfy bat-shaped headboard, two white-cased pillows, fluffy folded blanket, and a basket at its feet for Fatatatita to sleep in.

On the other side of the room... Opposite from the organ stands my double-shelving unit where my Muppet figure collection is proudly displayed. Had my brother help install a couple of lighting tubes on one shelf, the one that'll be for photographing. *Got plans for embellishing the display, we'll see what happens. My bed stands directly opposite from my roommate's, also lined along the wall. My bed sports a light powder black sheet with ghostly glowing white bats printed upon it, two powder black-cased pillows, a matching fluffy folded blanket, and a storm cloud shaped headboard. The Count's bed has small storm cloud bedknobs with vertical lightning posts, where as mine features small batlike ornaments perched upon the far railing. We have floor mats next to our beds, where we individually leave our crimson red or ash gray slippers.

The far wall divides into three main areas from left to right. The far left section of the back wall opens up thanks to its ornate window. There's a window box with a few fragrant herbs on the outside, and a roost for Batty and Necra, our bats, near the top of the window itself. Good thing we have fragrant herbs in the windowbox below them, that way the fertilizer doesn't go to waste. There's a microwave and bubbling cauldron tucked into that corner of the room, for whenever we feel like fixing some private meals. The silver scream entertainment area takes up the center spot of the back wall. The master TV's fright there propped up on a lovely Transylvanian carved mount, with three machines hooked up to it directly underneath: DVD/VCR double bubble machine, DVD/VCD single spell machine, and black cable box on top of them. The controls to work each of these are on the ledge to the left, all in order without worry of them falling off. My dark glasses are on the right ledge of the shelf that holds our monster movie components. The ICE (air conditioner) unit's tucked beneath this, so that it can cool off the entire room and drip out to the outside rear bottom gutters of the dorm building itself. We also installed an eight-legged spider chandelier up on the ceiling... The legs stick out twirling in mid-air as it doubles as a grimly revolving ceiling fan. Last, but not least is the creepy couch in the center of the room situated in front of the TV. The couch has a couple of ratty arm covers, and a black bat-eared headrest. The couch's connected to a round disc base, so it can eerily swivel in full circular motion, allowing us to greet any visitors to our humble doomicile. My computer work station sits on a long polished desk, along the far right portion of the back wall. The desk stretches almost to where the edges of the window are set into the wall itself, providing a sort of banister in front of the TV area. Need a desk this long to put my figures on if either moving them or working on something with the Count's help.

Finally, there's the wall space next to our beds. The beds are spaced a little apart from the walls themselves, so we can squeeze in between and remove the bedclothes for their laundering. Some electrical sockets grace the lower linings of the walls as well. The Count has a secret compartment on his wall, accessed by a grinning skull knob. This hull houses his own collection of magnetized numbers (about two of each digit from 0-9, and doubles of each so he can go as high as he pleases) in a stacked pack, and the castle areas with small PVC figurines of various monstrous fiends to make it feel like a true haunted house. The wall on my side has a secret compartment accessed by a black bat-shaped knob. There you'll find a massive book and a DVD library of various Muppet productions. The book is where I keep the photos of the members of the Muppet Family, constantly updated thanks to my Muppet Listings. The DVD library's kept in a zipped up album with rainbow tabs indicating where I have which DVD's: red for TMS, orange for FR, yellow for SS, etc. There are also two vertical posters flanking the compartment on either side plastered upon the wall. The first and closest to the shelving unit is the one of Catwoman from Batman Returns, in her "Hello There!/**** Here!" master chamber scene; the one closest to the bed's headboard shows off August, my lovely living doll in her finest sexy yet spooky traditional Haloween-styled costumed dress.

Not much more than that, think all the basics were covered in this tour of our cozy crypt. Knock if you need me for anything, have a great weekend you guys and ghouls.
*Cackles as door closes creakily behind us.

To try.
Prairie:Right.So practice what you preach.Tell you what. Try singing a little bit of "Little Things" and me and Rosita will give you our honest opinions
Rosita:Sounds fine to me.
*sigh* :rolleyes: OK...OK...but you two are asking for it.
*Prairie plays the intro on the piano & I begin to sing*
I believe in little things
That you can hardly see
Like honeycomb and spider webs
And starfish in the sea
:then singing off tune on purpose:
I believe in little things......
Prairie:Katheeee!!! You're singing that last part off tune on purpose!:mad:

Gillis: Sorry. Guess I got a little ahead of myself.
Tosh: Kim, can we try out for the choir?
Kim: Sure; I don't see why not. I know we all like to break into song on occasion. I'm sure you'll all make it.
Boober: You're not trying out?
Betty Lou: Why not?
Kim: I don't know if I'll have the time, with work and everything. Besides, someone's gotta sit in the audience and applaud and cheer for you guys, right?
Tosh: Aw, please Kim?
Kim: You think I should?
*sings* Something has changed within me,
Something is not the same.
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game.

Too late for second guessing;
Too late to go back to sleep.
It's time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes...and leap...

Betty Lou: So?
Kim: ...yeah, what the heck. I'll sign up too.
Gillis: Terrific! Let's go!

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....*CRASH!*

Herry: We're going to treat him to a night out. *high fives Grover*

Grover: Yeah! *high fives Herry*

[daughterdeadly]

*Emmet and Ally 'finally' get to the dorms and drag their bags to their room after getting their key.*

Ally: *Trying to unlock the door to their room* It actually feels good to be back, don't it Emmet?

Emmet: It sure does! I was starting to miss everyone here at the dorms! *Eyes Ally down.* To bad it took us such a long time to get here...

Ally: Hey, it's not my fault! I didn't exspect the dorms to re-open that quickly!

Emmet: *Laughing* I know, I was just kidding around, I didn't think they'd open so quickly either! Honestlly, I didn't think we'd be lucky enough to be roomate's again.

Ally: Yeah, same with me. *Opens door* Allright, let's see what all we gotta' do with our room.

Emmet: *Looking at the blank room in awe.* Wow, um, we really have alot to do... don't we?

Ally: Yup. We sure do. *Set's down all her supplies, then in a very fake accent she sais...* Well, let's get started, shall we? *Holds out hand to Emmet.*

Emmet: *Grinning and taking her hand, matching up to her accent* We shall.

*The two get started on decorating (and painting) their room, in hopes that it will soon look good according to both of their tastes...*

[Java]

So, Sprocket, what do you think about my first idea? Can you live with that?

<nods excitedly>

And how about my second idea? Are you willing to help me out with that?

<nods even more excitedly>

Careful, you'll give yourself a concussion. Since you're in agreement I'll talk to the Count and Ed about our plans now.

[Leyla]

Leyla: Ooh! My hammock is here! YAY!!! I'm gonna love sleeping in this! And it might help my insomnia!

Hilda:You have insomnia, dear? I was wondering who was staying up so late.

Leyla: Yeah, sorry about that. Sometimes it's a good thing though... I get a lot of writing done in the wee hours.

Jimmy: Hey, what's with them buckets of green paint?

Leyla: Oh, they're there for Robot Kermit's room.

<Hilda looks skeptically at the buckets, then ducks down for a closer inspection>

Hilda:Kermit green?

Leyla: Sure... what better colour? I want him to feel at home, even if he is a robot.

Hilda: I still think you're crazy.

Leyla:<grins> At this point, Hilda dear, you shouldn't be thinking... you should know!

<There's a knock at the door>

Jimmy: Get that, will ya?

Leyla: Yay! Vistors! <Leyla peeps out the door for a while... then she steps out entirely. When she returns moments later, she is dragging a cello and a bouquet of flowers.> Wow... look at this!

<Jimmy and Hilda approach... even Wanda drudges up a little interest out of her cesspool of break up misery>

Hilda: What on earth is that thing?

Leyla <happily> Oh, this large four stringed wooden instrument that resembles a violin with a large spike?

Hilda: Yes, that.

Leyla: It's my cello! Gonzo ran off with it a while ago, goodness knows why.

Wanda: <impatiently> Never mind the thing! Tell us about the flowers!

Leyla: Well, I don't know... they were just there, beside my cello... Oh! There's a card! <reads> You are the treasure of my heart... from your secret admirer...

Wanda <instantly giggling> Oh! I bet it's Wayne's way of apologizing to me! Oh, he is soooo sweet!

Jimmy: Well, I think them flowers are fer me! From that little sister of yours... what's her name... Laura, Leah...

Leyla: Lisa! And you stay away from her! I'm sorry Wanda... these are for Hilda.

Hilda: <surprised and flattered> What? For me? I have a secret admirer? Well... I... I don't know what to say.... <horrified expression>
They were with the cello Gonzo stole? Oh no! You don't suppose Gonzo's my secret admirer, do you?!

Leyla: Well... I don't know for sure... he DID have my cello... but... these might not have come at the same time. Besides, Gonzo's very happy with Camilla...

Wanda: <sulking> He's a weirdo! And, as our lovely neighbour says, a masher! He's got a roving eye! <sniffling> And I don't care if Wayne didn't send me flowers anyway, so there! I wouldn't even had looked at them!

Hilda: <miserably> I'm doomed...

[theprawncracker]

Me: *writing* Oh Hilda, Oh Hilda, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways, one, two, three, four? Yes, four. Hmm...That'll never do. *tosses poem in garbage*

[Erine81981]

Grover: Sorry Kyle. We got you all dressed up for nothing.

Oh it's alright Grover. Maybe we can go tomorrow.

Herry: We feel bad. We got your hopes up to go see a movie and it's wasn't there.

Maurice: We could of saw another one.

Cookie M: Sorry Kyle. Me not get no cookies. *looking sad too*

Nah...don't worry about guys. I'm fine. Just let it be. I'm going to go take a bath.

Oscar: *bangs open the door* I heard Kyle's out of a job. *see's me sluk through the halls to the bathrooms* That's my kind of guy!

Grover: Oscar?! That is not very nice.

Oscar: I was just meaning. He would be good for me to talk to him.

Herry: You would do that for us Oscar! *hugs Oscar*

Oscar: Get off of me! Now I didn't mean it that way!

Grover: Come on grouchie baby!

Oscar: Don't call me that. I'll see what I can do. Jeez! The things I do for others. *to the Monsters* Don't let anyone know I'm helping Kyle.

Monsters: Got it! *slams the door on Oscar's can*

Oscar: Watch out! *falls over and starts rolling down the hall* Heh heh heh heh....my type of ride. *rolls off towards the bathrooms*

[The Count]

Hmmm, think I'll wait till Kate starts the Quire auditions. Not sure if I want to join, got a busy schedule. But I would like to at least sing something I've been wanting to sing for a while now.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: How's your room coming, Nora?
Nora: I've finished the last coat! How about you?
MN: I'm just putting the finishing touches on Hampstead Heath, and then I'll be done! (pokes head out) How's it coming, Storyteller?
Storyteller: Well, I've decided to shift my hut from the tropical theme to a decidedly stonier feel, more in keeping with the Rock. And I'm getting ready to add on an extension to the library; Gobo made copies of his uncle's postcards and he's given them to me.
Nora: That's cool, keep archives on all the silly creatures.
Storyteller: Yes...oh, that Matt. Such a daring, romantic Fraggle... (Nora and MN cackle with laughter) Oh, now, now! Nora, I've noticed you making eyes at young Scooter...(Nora promptly quiets, MN continues laughing) and as for you, little Miss Erin the Reporter Girl...it's no different from you and that Hunt person!
MN: (snicker) Oh, come on, Sara's got me beat in the "biggest crush on Richard" department. I'll concede that. Now come on, it's time to start in on the bathroom. We're going to need the chrome, the bronze, the cobalt blue...good grief, sounds like I'm reading off the Periodic Table.

[Fragglemuppet]

Boy, did I sleep in! What say we just go to Everybody Eats for lunch?
Lou: Where were you? I didn't here you at all last night!
Sorry mom.
:rolleyes: But I was a bit late finishing my erands last night, and I didn't want to disturb you guys, so I just crashed in the common room. Thank goodness for that couch!
Gobo: So how is membership going?
Well, let's see. So far I've got Beth, Kim, Gilis, Tosh, Boober, Betty Lou, and Kathy. Oh, and of course all of us. Ed said he might be interest, and I'm holding another session this afternoon at 4-00 (EST) so I wonder who else'll show up.
Wembly: Oh boy, I can't wait to see who else comes!
Neither can I; this is really exciting for me! Well, I'm starving; let's go eat!
Wembly: Sounds good to me.

[Erine81981]

Grover: We are your friends Kyle.

Herry: We would never leave you.

Grover: I know I would not.

Herry: Nither would I. I love being with you.

Grover: This is one sad day. I alwayed hated today.

Well, I'm back home early... Wonder when Kate'll start up auditions on the 3rd floor's common room though.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh Gonzo!! Commentary time!

Gonzo: Great! I was wondering when we'd get back to it!

Me: *leaves with Gonzo*

Uncle Deadly: Ah, good, they're gone, now I'm free to fill the airs of the dorm with my haunting howls! Bwa ha ha ha!

Clifford: Don't even think about it dude.

Ernie: Hey, goodluck, Bert.
Bert: Thanks, Ernie. You sure you don't want to come along?
Ernie: Can't, Bert. I'm gonna be on the football team. I can't do both.
Telly: Why not?
Ernie: They'd conflict. You go along and have fun.
Bert: Okay, Ernie. Bye!
Bry: Bye, Ernie. Come along, guys!
