Bo: *looks up from whisking cream* Hey, has anyone seen Bean?
Bear: Ooh, a rhyme. And, man does this Christmas food smell good! Mind if I take a nip?
Bo: *frowns* Has anyone seen Bean since we put the turkey in the oven?
Bobo: Nope.
Beau: No-ope.
Bo: *yanks oven open and drags turkey out* BEAN!???

Meanwhile...outside Layla's room, a small adorable cute cute cute bunny stands with a green bow behind his back.

Bean: I know that secret santa's are meant to wait until Wednesday, but this present is TOO cute to wait until everything is priced down to 40%. 40% the cuteness just wouldn't do for this...*rings bell* *nothing* *leans on bell* Oh! Layla, hi, is...er...Jimmy there? *waits, then* Hi Jimmy. *giggle* Listen, I know that you are an old, lonely, loony, sad man with no friends and not an ounce of niceness in you...so I thought that I should share the true spirit of Christmas with you by giving a gift unsurpassed! *turns around and ties ribbon around ears* Tah-DAH! Merry Chrsitmas from a cute widdle bunny rabbit, here to teach you what it means to be merry and cheerfull. For a month, you get ME ME ME ME ME to be right at your side, always ready to guide you. *HUGE cute eyes and HUGE cute ribbon around ears* Merry Christmas from your secret, me!...so, what do you say?

Back at Bo's place...

Bo: Thanks...
Bobo: Hey, but these look nice. *helps self to crisps*

(gang has been out celebrating with respective families; now all are back in room 7)

Nora: So you've got a new laptop? Sweet...
MN: Yeah, my old one's been having difficulties lately, so I get to start the semester off with a new one. I just never realized that Bluetooth was so picky...
Nora: To err is human, to really foul things up takes a computer.
MN: I also got some books, some nice-smelling shower gel and a shoulder bag with a map of the London Underground on it.
Storyteller: Well! I spent a glorious three-day weekend down by the Whistling Caverns with my family...as for presents, I have a lovely new Nirvana tree fiber cape, some new shower gel from the Squeaky Caverns...and look here, I received this beautiful pendant, taken from the Bluerock.
Nora: Wow. Bluetooth, Bluerock...my grandmother gave me a blue sweater. And my dad's been teaching me to play chess, so he gave me a computer chess game.
MN: Lemme guess. It's called Deep Blue.
Nora: Uh-huh.
Storyteller: And Richard got his AIDS quilt...which reminds me, Erin, have you...
MN: I'll get to it soon, I promise!

Leyla

12-25-2006, 06:31 PM

Leyla: Whew! Alright, everyone ready?

<They are gathered around the little Christmas tree, all of them... except Robot Kermit. All are dressed in their holiday best, with Robot Piggy particularly resplendant in a bright red, V-neck, knee length dress, embroidered with golden thread. It was borrowed from Miss Piggy. Her hair is pinned back, loosely draped over her shoulders and there is a sprig of mistletoe tucked beside her left ear. Robot Piggy remains entirely unaware that she has a winder sticking out of her back. Miss Piggy remains entirely unaware of the accommdating hole Leyla cut in the dress to allow Robot Piggy to wear it. She is not looking forward to either of them discovering these facts.>

Wanda: Oh yes, we're ready.

Hilda: <dryly> As ready as we'll ever be.

Robot Piggy: Moi looks stunning...let's get the show on the road already!

Robot Kermit: <faintly, pathetically, from his closet> Is it morning yet? Can I come out now? Please? I promise I'll be good.

Leyla: <apologetically> Oh, yes, Kermit dear... I'm sorry to keep you in there so long... we have a surprise for you, though!

RK: <giving new dimensions to the word pathetic> Is the surprise that you're not going to let me out, or that you are?

Leyla: Neither, neither! I mean, yes, I'm going to let you out, right this very-

<She is interrupted by a knock at the door>

Leyla: Oh dear... just another minute dear... <she answers the door, then calls out to Jimmy.> It's Bean, looking for you, Jimmy. Make it quick please... poor Kermit's been stuck in there for way too long as it is.

Hilda: <petulantly> well, if it hadn't taken soooo long for her royal highness here to get ready...

Robot Piggy: <coolly> Some of us believe in doing more than just throwing on any old thing.

Leyla: That's enough of that, ladies. Besides... it's not Robot Piggy's fault that it took so long. We needed to cut- <she breaks off abruptly, flushing pink>

Wanda: Yeah, of course it's gonna take forever if you have to maneuver all that fabric over that big, wide-

<Robot Piggy takes this as you might expect>

RP: Hiiiii-yah! <She sends Wanda to the floor in a classily attired heap>

Hilda: <sotto voce to Jimmy> Wanda, before the end of the first day... who won the pool?

Jimmy: <turning from the door and pulling out a notebook> Ah, let's see here...hmm...we've got...looks like it were that Swedish fellow who does all that gobbledy gook with the cookin' called it. Women's work if you ask me-

Hilda: <firmly> I didn't.

Wanda: <groggily> Did I win the pool?

Hilda: No.

Wanda: Rats.

Hilda: Not them either. Chef won.

Robot Kermit: <hopefully> I think there's an air vent in here, maybe I can-

Leyla: No! No, no, I'm coming! <she gives up waiting for Jimmy to finish his conversation and races to the closet door, unlocking it and sliding it open.> There you go, Robot Kermit, free at last! Now, come and meet our new roommate,-

Jimmy: <triumphantly> Bean Bunny! Fer a whole month!

<Everyone in the room spins around to stare at Jimmy, who has tucked the notebook away and has a friendly armed draped over Bean>

Robot Kermit: <uncertainly> Well, this is ah... this is certainly a... surprise.

Leyla: <pale faced> Uh... <laughs nervously> Yes... a... surprise, heh.

Bean: Oh, isn't this SO cute! A surprise party to welcome my surprise! ME!Yippee! <He launches into the most painfully saccharine version of "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" imaginable.>

Robot Piggy: <having exhausted her tolerance for this about thirty seconds before it started.> If that thing is staying, then moi am leaving!

Leyla: <hurriedly> He's not, he's not! I'm sorry, Bean I appreciate the offer but-

<Robot Kermit has caught sight of Robot Piggy>

RK: <quietly> Oh, hey there, Miss Piggy... uh... it sure is nice to... um... see you're feeling better enough to visit us.

Robot Piggy: <staring at him like he might vanish> Oh... it's you again... <wistfully> Still taken?

RK: <confused> Uh...um... <He steps forward, then stops>

RK:<brightly> Don't worry, I uh... there's no mistletoe, this time. I promise, I'll keep my hands to myself.

Robot Piggy: <sighs> Of course.

<Leyla and all the others are distracted with trying to part Jimmy and Bean... both are near tears at the thought of being separated.>

RK: Am... am I allowed to tell you, you look nice?

Robot Piggy: <brightening> Yes, if that's the best vous have got.

RK: <cautiously hopeful> You, uh... you look n...you look wonderful.

Robot Piggy: <preening> Why thank you, Kermie... vous look very handsome.

Robot Kermit: <clearly perplexed by her flirting> Uh, I- <he pauses, a light bulb coming on (for the record... not literally)> Oh... um, Miss Piggy, I'm not Kermit, I'm Robot Kermit. <wistfully> See? I'm not trying to trick you anymore.

Robot Piggy: <tilting her head> Robot Kermit? You're not the Kermit who belongs to Miss Piggy?

RK: <ruefully> Nope... I... I'm not yours...wish I were...<quickly> but I'm not!

Robot Piggy: <smiling very slowly> So, vous are Robot Kermie. Well, Robot Kermie... moi am Robot Piggy, and moi belongs to no one... and no one belongs to moi... yet.

RK: <processes that for a second> <excessively casually> Oh, really?

Robot Piggy: <not remotely casual> Oh... really.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Leyla: Jimmy, Bean... please, please stop crying. Listen, it's not that we don't like the idea of having you around, but there's only so much closet space and with Robot Piggy getting settled that's... that's not going to last long and- <They wail even louder>

Hilda: <firmly> Bean Bunny, stop that caterwauling this instant. It's not cute at all!

Bean: <startled> It's not?

Hilda: And Jimmy, settle down and I'll make you some hot chocolate.

Jimmy: <sniffling> With the little marshmellows?

Hilda: Yes... in fact, why don't we all have some hot chocolate. You can't live here, Bean, but perhaps you can visit.

Bean: Really?

Hilda: Maybe... we'll talk. Now into the kitchen, both of you. Wanda, will you grab a few mugs?

<Wanda leads the boys into the kitchen, Hilda and Leyla hang back for a second>

Leyla: <gratefully> Oh, bless you Hilda.

Hilda: Call it a Christmas present, why don't you?

Leyla:<visibly weary> Now I can finally introduce Robot-

<Hilda stops her with a gentle tug on her sleeve and nods towards where Robots Kermit and Piggy are talking. He reaches up suddenly and gives her mistletoe a playful little tweak.>

Robot Piggy: <smiling> Watch the hair, frog.

Hilda: They seemed to have introduced themselves.

Leyla: <slowly cheering up> So they have. I'll have to let Ru know how it went. I think... I think it's-

Hilda: It's a very merry Christmas day.

Leyla: Yeah... it sure is.

Hilda: <looking into the kitchen> Jimmy! You get away from that turkey! Back to work then.

Leyla: <eyeing the two lovebirds... though neither of them are, in fact, birds> Yep... they've got things well in hand out here. <They head into the kitchen>

*In Room 19 Boober, Betty Lou and Tosh are all in bed already*
Kim: Wow, I can't believe it. They're all in bed already.
Gillis: Well, we've all had a long day; they're tired. And they are just kids, after all.
Kim: Well, fuddy-duddy, what does that make us? You're definately not qualified to be the World's Oldest Fraggle.
Gillis: *flattered* Thank you.
Kim: *chuckling* You ham. Well, since they've already exchanged their gifts, I guess its time for us to do the same. *hands him a package* Merry Christmas, Gil.
Gillis: Merry Christmas, Kim. *opens his gift* Oh, my goodness...a carrying case for my baton! This is wonderful!
Kim: Thought you'd like that. *opens her present* Oh, Gillis you didn't have to do this! *pulls out several pieces of sheet music for clarinet*
Gillis: Well, I know how much you like to play...I just thought you'd want something to play other than scales all the time. Merry Christmas, Kim.
Kim: Merry Christmas, Maestro.

Sorry it took me sooooo long to get back here Count. Wasn't able to get much to eat at the party back home, only some of my mom's great garbanzo soup.
Count: That's all fright Ed, I understand.
Yeah well... Looks like we'll have to leave the commentary for tomorrow. If we even get here, since we have all our Muppet videos to watch.
Count: Ah, how I count the moments to sitting down and vatching some good old home movies. Oh, did you check that stocking hung next to the furnace mouths?
Me: What furnace?
Count: The one that's fright next to the vindows, between the microwave cauldron containment unit and the skellevision entertainment center.
Me: Nope, wasn't even aware there was a stocking hanging there.
Count: Vell, I'd adwise you check there tomorrow morning, might be a gift left there you haven't found yet.

Oh OK... Pleasant screams and happy Christmas.
Count: Thank you Edvard and merry Christmas to you too.

(Fozzie Bear comes running down the hall, flings open the door to room 20 and dashes inside. He leans, panting, against the door, in obvious terror. Catherine walks over to put a hand on his arm.)
Fozzie: Ahhhhh! Oh--it's you. (nervously) Um--it is you, right, Ru, um, Catherine?
Catherine: It's me, Fozzie. What's the matter?
Fozzie: (whispering) Um, I think I've slipped into some sort of alternate universe. Did you fall through the opening, too?
Catherine: Um, is someone serving, um, grown-up eggnog here in the dorms?
Fozzie: No--it's just--ahhh! (pointing and staring over Catherine's shoulder) Ahhhh!
(Catherine looks around and sees Piggy and Kermit behind her. Fozzie continues to look frightened.)
Catherine: Honey, it's just Piggy and Kermit. What's wrong?
Fozzie: But, but I--I just SAW them--right across the hall--in Layla's room. They were, um, (indistinct mumble).
Kermit: What?
Piggy: Who?
Fozzie: Um, you guys. You were, um, kissing. But--but now you're here, and there, and I don't even know if I'm me.
Catherine: (With a oopsie-face at Kermit and Piggy) Um, Fozzie, it's okay. That wasn't our Kermit and Piggy. This is our Kermit and Piggy.
Fozzie: No? (whispering) Then who were they?
Catherine: Um, do you remember Robot Kermit?
Fozzie: Yesssss.
Catherine: Well, um, you know about the recent unpleasantness in our room because of what happened when Robot Kermit tried to take Kermit's place here?
Fozzie: (hat over face) I remember.
Catherine: Um, so we wanted to do something that might prevent that sort of thing from happening again so, well, we, um, had Dr. Honeydew and Beaker put together a Robot Piggy. Now Robot Kermit has-- (breaks off at a hard look from Piggy) --has a friend, that is, another robot friend who seems well-suited to.... (trails off in surprise, and then a big goofy smile breaks across her face) And they were kissing?!
Fozzie: Uh hum.
(Immediately, Fozzie has to flatten himself against the wall as three excited bodies hurl themselves out the door to peek around the doorframe diagonally across the hall. Everybody says "ahhh" and then trails back to room 20.)
Catherine: Wow--that worked a lot better than I hoped.
Piggy: (eying Kermit with something akin to dissatisfaction) That happened a lot faster than I expected.
Kermit: (indignantly) Hey--what's that supposed to mean?
Piggy: (sailing past him toward the tree with an impish look) All I'm saying is that somebody seems to have all of his circuits firing--and somebody doesn't.
Kermit: Oh yeah? Well come over here and I'll show you a thing or two.
(Laughing, they proceed to chase each other around the tree for some moments. This argument has a forgone conclusion, and while they are getting to the part where they stand with their arms around each other under the mistletoe and kiss, Catherine takes Fozzie over to the kitchen and pours them each a cup of cocoa.
Catherine: So, you feeling better now that classes are over?
Fozzie: Yes! I was so worried about my final in Advanced Heckler Defense Strategy, but it actually seemed to go okay.
Catherine: (looking quickly away) Do tell?
Fozzie: (sitting at the table) Well, you know how nervous I was about my routine, right?
Catherine: (sympathetically) I remember.
Fozzie: And I was so worried that I was going to get nervous and be terrible. But when I came out to do my exam routine, all of my classmates were there in the auditorium, too. I thought it was just going to be me and the professors, but everyone was there to support me. And everybody got a chance to vote on how I did.
Catherine: And you did okay?
Fozzie: (looking down for a moment) Well, they laughed at some of my jokes, and they clapped when it was over. And half of our grade is based on how much we had improved. (whispering) I think I improved a lot.
Catherine: Of course you did! Fozzie, I'm so proud of you!
Fozzie: Gee, thanks. You know, there's just one thing that seemed funny to me.
Catherine: (nervously) Um, what was that?
Fozzie: I was really nervous about these professors, but it's almost like there were different people in the sound booth that day.
Catherine: (choking on her hot chocolate) *coff* *coff* Oh! *coff* I'm sure it was just because you were nervous. I'm sure they weren't, you know, tied up in their office or anything.
Fozzie: Aaaahhhh! Good one! Wocka wocka! You know, I guess Christmas wishes do sometimes come true.
Catherine: (looking toward the living area, where all sounds of fighting have ceased) Yeah. It sure looks that way. So--you want some more tofu and stuffing? I made gravy!
Fozzie: Definitely!
Catherine: (bending to plant a kiss on Fozzie's fuzzy head) Merry Christmas, Fozzie.
Fozzie: Merry Christmas, Catherine.

Outside the trashcan you hear a big splash from the hallway

The Count

12-26-2006, 02:27 AM

Downstairs, in Room #1, the Count von Count is fast asleep wearing his bat-print pajamas, dreaming of all the numbers he's counted as they dance in his head past happier visions of sugar plums and blood oranges.

Meanwhile, in the other bed in Room #1...
Hmmm, sounds like those new robot romantics were occupied in one of the yet vacant rooms. Guess they wanted some privacy.

The thoughts of the owner of this room turn back to what his vampire bunkmate said as to a certain stocking.
Furnace? The Count must be dream projecting again, there's no furnace here... Much less a Christmas stocking.

Ed's ruminations turn to the poster of Autumn up on the wall next to his bed, longing for the day they shall meet in Vegas making it a very merry Christmas indeed. His hands swing out slowly, as if in a move of resignment and find placed there on the wall...
Hullo? What's this? Hmmm, this must be the stocking he was talking about.

Eduardo takes the stocking off of its secured spot to inspect the calcetin's contents.
Never noticed that there before. Someone must've...
His hands trace along the top furrysome fringe of white, finding a message in stitched lettering jutting out ever so slightly from the stocking's body. The cryptic clue reads "Santa Baby".
Now why would that...

At that moment, two enchanting eyes awaken, a tuft of perfectly coiffed blonde hair rising from within the stocking. The full female figure of one of those little batty ornament pushes itself upwards seeking the refreshing nourishment of renewed air, her wings pinned back and prominent physique adding to her innate alluring qualities. She starts to sing softly in a voice matching her hairstyle and her tantalizing talents, the satin of her gloves plainly popping the two top buttons of the master's nightshirt.

Bat-girl, singing: ...
Santa Baby.
Slip me something under the tree.

*Cooingly spoken: I've been an awful good girl.
*Sung once again, in a low quiet chancion: ...
So come on Santa Baby.
And hurry *down* the chimney tonight.

At this point, the beautiful batty baubble has snuggled herself inside Ed's sleeping suit, cozied up against his chest, the sheerness of her negligee and the roundness of her chest palpable against his own beating body. Her wings calmly flap a few times, whether she's cooling things down or gently warming his heart is open to debate.
Finally, she tilts her head upwards fixing him with a coquettish knowing look, whispering...
"Hurry..."
The visitor then glances sideways briefly without taking her peepers off of the main occupant living in the first room of the dormhouse and finishes the thought.
"Tonight", she utters in her vamp voice as she then leaves her receiver breathless with a well-won kiss before nestling her head down against his pounting blood pumper. The two fall into a most desirable blissful slumbering state.

Red: *groans* And who's idea was it to get her that espresso machine again?
Wanda *who has also had coffee*: Mine! Isn't it great?
Red: Not for those who want to sleep.
Abby: I'm going to get up. Can I have coffee too?
Beth: *laughs* Sorry dear, maybe when you're older, but I don't think your mom and dad would be happy with me if I let you have some. Tell you what, I'll make you some chocolate milk
Abby: Ok!
Red: Hey! I'll take some of that too
Beth: I thought you wanted to sleep
Red: I changed my mind, I can do that
Wanda: It is a woman's perogative
Red: Huh?

Already up, been so for a while now, the stocking and it's bat comfortably resting up on the wall where they were both found last night.

So Bear's gone back to Woodland Valley. Well, was nice having him around for the time he was here. Wonder when Kathy and Sis will be back, should be here by tomorrow for the exchange. *Sighs, OK, off to do some commentary in the reading room. Count, would you like to join me?
Count: I vas counting the seconds until you asked!

12-27-2006, 09:52 AM

OK....present all wrapped up.Darn this thing is heavy!
Prairie:Here we go!Thanks for letting me borrow your finger to tie the ribbon Rosita.
Rosita:No problema Prairie.Hopefully the person who I'm giving this to will like it.

The Count

12-27-2006, 10:06 AM

Hmmm... You know, I might just end up scheduling the exchange for later anyway. We could do it in order of room numbers, but that would mean my roomies would go first, something we'd only agree to if you guys think we should be the first to hand out gifts. Wanted to do this alphabetically, but my next-door neighbors seem to have gone out at the moment. Maybe when there are more people here, we'll see what happens as the day goes on. Just get all your presents wrapped and piled together, the exchange will happen... Just not sure where and I'm not sure just when.
Sorry, slipped into a song cue there.
Count: Need help getting out?
*Sigh, if Lisa were here to appreciate the insanity randomness of a joke like that...

See ya guys, knock if you need me, will be watching the DVD's I got.

Count, whispering to Christy: Quick, get your presents under the tree now that he's othervise occupied.

redBoobergurl

12-27-2006, 11:04 AM

Red: Are we exchanging gifts now?
Beth: I'm not sure, Ed said we might do it later. We can go and sit by the tree and wait

Wanda: Me too.

Bobo: *wipes the counter with a cloth* Once we're cleaned up, mebbe we should go find the present exchange?

Leyla: Okay guys, quick like bunnies now!
Jimmy: <anxiously> Bunnies? Where?
Leyla: It's an expression, Jimmy... it means we gotta vamoose.
Jimmy: Ah, well. You gotta remember ah'm used to them technical, high falooting vocabularities.
Leyla: <smiling fondly> My mistake, Jimmy dear. Now, get your presents ready quickly now... we all slept right through that earlier deadline.
Hilda: Do we have any ribbons?
Leyla: Yep, junk drawer in the kitchen.
Hilda: Thanks!
Leyla: Wanda, are you set?
Wanda: Just about!
Leyla: Robot Kermit, are you se- <she sighs> Kermit, let go of Piggy, will you? You need to get ready for the gift exchange!
RK: <distracted> Oh, I did that ages ago. I don't even remember what I got who.
Robot Piggy: Gee, what could have possibly made you forget?
<much giggling and twittering between them>
Hilda: Gag me... or gag them. Gag somebody.
Leyla: Yeesh. I hoped they'd be happy. I didn't realise they'd be this happy! Knock it off you two, or I'm turning a hose on you, and goodness knows what would happen then.
Robot Kermit: <still giggling> I know what would happen. The sparks would fly!
Robot Piggy: I don't need any help to make that happen. C'mere you.
<many beleaguered moans from the other occupants of room 18.>
Hilda: <softly> The real pair of them don't usually get along this well... what's with them?
Leyla: I don't know... maybe it's a robot thing. Maybe Doctor Honeydew did something to Robot Piggy... maybe we should be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
<Hilda, Wanda and Jimmy look anxiously up at the ceiling>
Leyla: It's an expression, guys.
Hilda: You never know around here.

The Count

12-27-2006, 12:38 PM

And here I thought Hilda would be wise enough to heed her own advice of not taking things too literally. Oh well...

Um guys, there's been a slight delay with a few of the other residents here... So we'll be doing the exchange later tonight, say around 8 PM? That work for everybody?
Various mumblings rise from the crowd.
"Like, I've got a hair appointment..."
"My Uncle Matt's expecting us down in the Rock."
"Will there still be cookies there?"
"Better check with the boss about this."
"Aw man... And here I had a date..."

Fright, eightish it ish. Oh, and we'll be doing the exchange alphabetically, just to be fair.
So Beth, try to keep that little fairy godchild of yours entertained till then. If she needs a nap that's OK, just hope to see you here back at Floor 2's common room tonight.

*Walks off after telling everybody of the news, worried as to whether or not we'll be able to pull this off. Maybe a different plan for next year...

Ryan: Eep, eight? Hmm, I dunno if I'll be around at eight...
Robin: Ryan! You have to be here! How will I know who to give my gift to?
Ryan: Well you picked your own secret Santa, silly.
Rowlf: Nice alliteration.
Ryan: Thanks Rowlf.
Rowlf: And besides Robin, I'll help you if I need to. And if all else fails we can just do it when Ryan here gets back.
Ryan: Yeah, and most of us are at the end of the alphabet anyway.
Camilla: Bragawk!
Clifford: Ahem.
Ryan: I said most of us...
Gonzo: That's okay my little holly leaf, we'll make sure you get to deliver your present.
Camilla: Brawk bawk.
Ryan: Sheesh...Who's hungry?
Clifford: I am, I haven't eaten since Chef started cookin'.
Ryan: Ditto. Let's head out to Everybody Eats before he notices...

Wanda: Are you going to be around later tonight?
Beth: I'm certainly going to do my best
Abby: You have to be here!
Beth: Don't worry Abby, everything will be fine.
Red: What are we going to do in the meantime?
Beth: How about some movies? We've got a few here. How about some episodes of Old School Sesame Street? You can see what it looked like before you moved there Abby.
Abby: Ok!
Red: Sounds good.

12-27-2006, 03:13 PM

Ally: Well, Emmet, I guess the exchange is gonna be abit delayed.

Emmet: Aw, oh well. That gives us more time to just relax and do what ever it is that we do.

Ally: Heh, yeah. *grins* We have the presents all wrapped, right?

Emmet: Yup, we sure do.

Ally: Great, were all set. *she picks up and scans over one of the presents* Now we just have to wait for the exchange to start...

The Count

12-27-2006, 04:37 PM

Oy... This is a nice little headache. Oh well...
OK, we're gonna do this right.
*OOC: Beth, whenever you get back, you can start up the exchange with narration of everybody gathering, and have Abby give out her gift.

At least I've only got one last disc of Old School SS to go.
Count: Enjoyed it so far?
Yes, greatly... Though DVD's rully aren't made for people with visual handicaps to watch them properly.
Count: Vhat's the problem?
I keep getting messed up with all the menus and trying to find what it is I want to watch. That's why I prefer getting it on simplistic VCD's like the ones from Justin F instead.
Count: Oh, I see.

Yeah, so let's head on out and wait till Beth gets back.

Psst: Ryan, you taken a moment to read through the Special Thanks on the back of that SO Bunsen and Beaker pack yet?
*Grins happily.

Beth: All right, now that we're all here...you are ALL here aren't you?
*chorus of yesses from the crowd*
Beth: Ok good, Abby, you may start.
*Abby gets up and grabs a couple of small packages from the tree*
Abby: I have Bryan. He's a nice guy, he took care of me when Beth was gone awhile back and I think he's really neat. He is an actor, which means he's a star, so for Christmas I got him these special things.
*She hands Bryan the packages. They contain a large star for a dressing room with his name on it covered in plenty of fairy sparkles and a replica of a Tony award also with his name on it.*
Beth: All right, who's next?

12-27-2006, 06:14 PM

Ally: *Searches out the presents she bought from the tree.* Allright, I got these presents for the ever so awesome- Dr. Teeth! *she hands over the wrapped boxes to Dr. Teeth with a grin.* I couldn't help but notice that you like stuff like jewelry and trinkets... and I notice you wear rings often, well, as do I so.. *in the first box are about 8 assorted rings, 4 are a sleek and shiney gold color, while two are a silver color made of very thin metal, the other two are adorned with jewels of all sorts.* I hope you like it, also I decided I just couldn't pass this gift up- *She grins and finds the other box , inside it contains a huge pair of you guessed it, golden sunglasses. Except the lens are in the shapes of dollar signs! There are differents shining jewels all over the glasses, too.* I thought they were too funny, I just had to get them... well I hope you like it Dr.Teeth!

MN: That's cool. It'll give me time to eyeball this pot of marmalade.
Nora: Really? I didn't know you could make marmalade.
MN: Yeah. I'm using callimondin oranges. They're the really little puckery kind that grow on small trees...I've got one sitting there in the breakfast nook.
Storyteller: Erin, the photos?
MN: Faith, no. But you know what? I'm going to go dig out my photo disc and upload one for Richard's niece right now!
(goes off in search of discs)
Nora: Man, she looks serious.
Storyteller: Oh, don't you know it. Your basic Scorpio born in the year of the ox.
Nora: Hmm, I'm a centaur, born in the year of the...of the...gee, I'm going to have to look at those placemats from House of the Rising Dim Sum again.

The Count

12-27-2006, 06:49 PM

Hmmm... The list says Baby Bear's next, but I don't see him here right now. That means Bean's next, although I think he already gave his Secret Santa his gift. Next would be The Beast, he's probably out with Kim and her roomies enjoying their visit to the RHLC headquarters building. Beauregard's up after that.
So Bo, I'll leave you to help your two roomies hand out their presents. Baby Bear and The Beast can have their turn when they get here.

The Count

Nora: (sotto voce) Gotcha; I'll tell her in a bit. She's been kinda frazzled lately, don't ya know.
MN: (emerges from room) Found the disc. What's this about the E's?
Nora: We're going by real names, not user names.
MN: Ah. Fair enough. Carry on, Ed. (salutes and sits down at computer)

Beauregard

12-27-2006, 06:56 PM

Beau: *looks at Bo* By the way, what is Bo short for?
Bo: Let's not go there, shall we?

Bean: *bounds across to Jimmy* So! As your cute and fuzzy friend, what did YOU get me for Christmas? (Sidenote: For those who didn't catch it, Bean gave himself as a guide to cuteness to Jimmy for Christmas)

Bo: Who did you get, Beau?
Bobo: Actually, I got him, and Beau transfered.
Beau: Yeah, well, I wanted him in the beginning...
Bo: WHO!???

Beau: I got Uncle Deadly. We don't speaky often, but you are very much like me. We both come from differential dimensions other than those which are the normal dimensions, and we are both alone in the universe. So, I bought you this Lasagna...and this red blanket...and a...little big hug? *hugs Uncle Deadly*

Bo: Is there another B-dormie before me and Bobo...Bobo and I?

The Count

12-27-2006, 07:06 PM

Well, as a matter of fact... Yes, there are several B's left to go through.
First up's Bert, but Bryan said they'd be here later tonight.
After that's Beth, I'm not sure if she's here or not. She must be using that invisible mode spray Christy uses from time to time.
Then it's Betty Lou, who's out at the moment with Kim.
Next comes Big Bird, who's playing with Snuffy in the park under Bryan's watch.
Then it's your turn Bo, and Bobo's after that.
Finally, it'd be Bryan who'd get to hand his Secret Santa their gift.

That's all for now, I think we can wait a little while to get all of these sorted out first. So go ahead Bo, unless Beth shows up first.

The Count

12-27-2006, 07:09 PM

Lasagna... As a present for Uncle Deadly? So long as he doesn't eat it on the third Wednesday of the month of March, it'll be OK with his boss. *Walks back to check everything's going smoothly with the exchange.

Hey Erin, can I get you a coconut flake or passion fruit ice cone? Kathy, would you like a NY cheesecake cream cone?
Just milling about as friends enjoy the holiday gathering.

Beauregard

12-27-2006, 07:21 PM

Bo: Actually, me and Bobo have to run. (aka, I need to sleep...) so we'll be here much later to drop off our gifts, sorry.

Kathy, would you like a NY cheesecake cream cone?

Mmmm..sounds good! Thanks!

12-27-2006, 07:29 PM

Beth: Hey, I'm here! I have my favorite dog Rowlf. For Rowlf, I got him the Ultimate Rock Fake Book for piano, a biography on the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel and a copy of all the stories I've written about him so far.
*hands gifts to Rowlf and gives him a hug*
Next!

MN: Oooh, a coconut flake sounds delicious. Thanks, Ed.
Nora: Is the photo sent?
MN: It is. Net's a little slow tonight, but I got the photo out into cyberspace.
Storyteller: Wow, everyone's gathered around the tree, as one, Fraggle, Muppet and silly creature. I must do a poem...or an epic...
MN: That's okay, Storyteller, you can give the creative juices a rest for tonight. Just sit back and enjoy yourself.
Nora: Yeah, you kinda wore yourself out on that last story about the Merggles.
Storyteller: While you girls have worn yourselves out on everything.
MN: Touche. Now let's see who gets to open a present next.

*Hands Erin and Kathy their ice creams.
If anybody sees Ryan, please tell him Camilla's turn is next. And if Catherine should sneak in during the middle of the night, she can hand her Secret Santa their present too.
Yummy ice cream Ed.Thank mew!
I know that Gaffer wants to give her present out but would it be OK if she waits til tomorrow (since you're going alphabetically?)

(Ru/Cat: I'm so embarrassed! I was waiting for the Rs! Eeek! Here goes!)

Catherine: Oh, I’m so excited! This is going to be fun!
Fozzie: I’m nervous. What if my present is a dud!
Catherine: I think you’ll like what you get, Fozzie.
Fozzie: Oh--I wasn’t thinking about what I’m going to get. I’m worrying about the present I’m giving.
Kermit: Gosh, Fozzie--I think you did a great job of shopping. I’m sure it will be fine
Fozzie: I hope so. (He looks at Catherine.) You ready to go deliver our gifts?
Catherine: Yep. I hope Layla likes what I got her! See you later, Piggy! Later, Kermit! We’ll catch you at the party.
Piggy: (murmuring out of the corner of her mouth) Who’s he buying for?
Kermit: (murmuring back) Um, The Count von Count.
Piggy: (interested now) What’d he get?
Kermit: (whispers in her ear) You think?
Piggy: Works for me.

Catherine: (bounding up to Layla) Layla! I’m your secret Santa! Open it, open it! (She thrusts a shoebox-shaped package into Layla’s hands.
Layla: Oh--okay! Um, thanks!
Catherine: Oh--I hope you don’t have this one!
(Inside the package is another box, and inside that box is a copy of "A Red and Green Christmas) Happy Christmas, dear!

12-27-2006, 09:49 PM

Well, I'm going to get a sampling of sleep done. We might need to continue this tomorrow, so don't worry if we don't get to you tonight. There are a lot of B's that haven't handed out their gifts yet: Bert and Big Bird and Bryan, they'll be here as one party; The Beast and Betty Lou and Boober Fraggle, who I'd think went out for the holidays with Kim and her family. If they don't show up by tonight, we'll move on to the C's.
Hope this is OK... And if anyone wants to take over the duties of overseeing the exchange, LMK and I can send you the list of who goes in what order.
Good night.

MN: Yeah, and I'm spending New Year's in New Jersey. I hope we finish before then.

(Bryan and Big Bird come into the common room)

Bry: Hey! Sorry we're late you guys!
Big Bird: I was at the park playing with Snuffy and then we stopped for an ice cream. Did we miss anything?
Ernie: The B's.
Big Bird: Bees?! Oh good, cuz you know I'm allergic.
Bry: Are you?
Big Bird: I dunno...but stingers hurt!
Bry: Ah.
Ernie: No, I meant the letter B. Your name starts with the letter B.
Big Bird: I know that.
Ernie: No, Big Bird. It's your turn to hand out your Secret Santa gift!
Big Bird: Oh! Well, why didn't you say so? (giggles) Well, I was supposed to give a present to Miss Storyteller Fraggle. I don't really know her very well yet, but I know that she likes to tell stories and I love hearing stories. So, I got her this beautiful journal and a feather quill pen, made from one of my very own yellow feathers, for her to write more beautiful stories and read them to me when she's done. Hope you like it, Storyteller. Oh, and also this little bag of chocolate covered birdseed. I made it myself. Merry Christmas! Storyteller? Hello?
Bry: I think she went to bed, Big Bird. We must have just missed her.
Big Bird: Oh, rats! Now what?
Bry: I guess you'll just have to give the present to her later.
Big Bird: Later? Do I have to do that whole speech again?!
Bry: (laughing and patting him on the beak) Don't worry about it.
Big Bird: Okay...
Bry: Well, my name begins with the letter B too, so I guess I'll just go next. This present goes to one of my best friends at the dorms--Kyle. He's been my buddy here for a long time and we always have fun playing around here together along with our roomies. He's always taking such great care of my roommates when I'm away, just like I always enjoy having the blue monsters over. And Kyle always knows how to handle that Grouch! He's a true Sesame Street fan like me and Ed. Kyle, I'd like to give you 2 DVDs--Don't Eat the Pictures and Sesame Street Celebrates Around the World, and an annual passport to the Sesame Place amusement park. Enjoy, buddy! (gives kyle the present, then goes over and kneels next to Abby) By the way, Abby...I absolutely love the star you made me! It's wonderful! I'll be using it soon! For now, maybe I'll put it on my room door here. Also, I think you're very nice too and you are welcome to our room any time. (gives Abby a hug)
Ernie: Okay, Bert...you're next! Bert?!
Bert: (rushes in) Sorry. I was on the phone with my Uncle Louie. He's a talker!
Ernie: It's your turn, Bert.
Bert: Oh! (clears throat) Ahem...I am here to give a present to my friend the Cookie Monster. Now, I realize that he is quite possibly the easiest to shop for because we all know his favorite thing is cookies. However, I have decided to go outside the box, as they say, and get him some things a little different to expand his menu a little. I have made some bran muffins, zuchini bread, and an assortment of deliciously sweet and healthy fruits and vegetables!! (silent pause in the room) ...... (under his breath) and there's cookies in here too. (holds out the big square box) Here you go, Cookie.

*flashback to the B's*

Bo: Tell me, alphabetically, does _ come before B?
Bobo: What?
Beau: Huh?
Bean: *bounce*

Bo: No, seriously, because you, Bobo, and me, Bo, need to give gifts. Does Bo come after or before Bobo?
Beau: I have no ideals.
Bobo: Idea.
Bo: What's your idea?
Bobo: No...idea, not ideals.

Bo: *brain hurt* Ok, I'll go first. I have Christy B, my 'kinda' room mate since that whole hole in the wall thing went on. She's always been a GREAT friend and I have a few things here that might help advance her dreams...there's a box of lenses, not contacts, for her new camera. And I was down the tip the other day when I found this old reel-to-reel camera. *pulls a sheet of a tripod to reveal a camera exactly like Rowlf's from TMM* Thought you'd like it.

Bobo: Me then...who did I have again?
Bo: The one I picked for you.
Beau: The one I had.
Bean: I didn't!

Bo: Remember, you were worried because you didn't think you new anyone around here...
Bobo: Oh, yeah.
Bo: So I said, what about such-and-such, and then Beau wanted such-and-such so you got whats-her-name.

Bobo: *scratches head* Thanks for the help. Eventually...*reads from a piece of paper* I got Kim. *reads* I know she's been around here for a log time...log? A long time, and I know she cares patiently...wait, passionately about certain Muppets around here. So, here's a hamper of my favorite things...Honey, bananas, and honey. *sticky smile*

The Count

12-28-2006, 04:43 AM

OK... That just leaves Baby Bear, The Beast, Betty Lou, and Boober Fraggle.
If anybody sees Peter and/or Kim, please remind them their roomies mentioned above can come in and hand out their Secret Santa their presents next.
Oh, and to keep things moving along... If you spot Ryan, please inform him that Camilla and Clifford can hand out their gifts. Christy, whenever you come in next, you can unveil what presents you have for your exchange partner. Cookie Monster, you'd come next, and then it'd be my own roommate's turn.

Lot to get through, but we're gonna get this done one way or another.
*Goes back into Room #1, hoping that the rest of the Secret Santa exchange goes smoothly.

Beth: I told you he would Abby! I hope Rowlf liked his.

Beth: Sure is!

Ryan: Did we miss anything?
Clifford: Doesn't look like it, just the handin' out of a few gifts. You gonna be around today dude?
Ryan: I don't think so Cliff, my mom's wanting to do something with me since she's off of work.
Clifford: Oh, great...Do ya think Ed would mind if Camilla and me just gave our presents now since you won't be here?
Ryan: Nah, but Camilla has to go first.
Camilla: Brawk bawk. Bawk, byuck brawk bagawk braw. Brawk bawk baw, brawk bagawk. Bawk brawk byuck bruck bawk. Bawk bragawk! *holds out rubber chicken*
Ryan: Um...I think she said, 'Fozzie, Merry Christmas, here's a rubber chicken so you don't have to use me in you schtick anymore.'
Clifford: Heh heh. Nice. Yo, my turn now. I shopped for Scooter, heh heh. Hey dude, I got ya some light weight dumb bells so you can work on that right hook, or any hooks for that matter. Heh heh, merry Christmas.
Ryan: Yup, and me and the rest of my, and Lisa's, roomies will deliver our presents later. Merry Christmas all!

OK... Looks like this is going, um, somewhat decently I guess.
Will wait for Kyle to get Cookie Monster to hand his Secret Santa their gift before my roomies have a turn. If Christy comes in, she can go ahead and give out her gifts. And if anybody sees Ally, please tell her that Emmett can hand his gift next too.

*Moves off to check on date cakes and refreshments for the rest of the residents weaving their way in and out of the common room, and to larger extent the dormhouse itself as everybody has errands to get done.

Fozzie: Wow--a brand new rubber chicken! Gee, thanks Camilla. (starts to pat Camilla on the head, which morphs into an awkward attempt at a hand shake. Camilla rolls her eyes and pulls Fozzie into her feathery embrace for a nice big bear hug. Fozzie sighs in contentment and returns the friendly hug.) Thanks, Camilla--this is a super gift! Oh! Maybe I'll build a whole routine around it! Oh--I'm so excited! (runs off)

Well, we'll save our turn for last. All main dorm residents who are here now (Beth, Catherine, Kathy) feel free to hand out all your Secret Santa presents if you want, just take turns and do it in an orderly manner.

Well the Muppet I'm Secret Santa for isn't here with his human. Same with Prairie & Rosita.So should we just put their presents by their doors?And put "Secret Santa"with our name in parentheses?

12-28-2006, 01:22 PM

MN: Well, as long as we're here, we might as well hand out our presents.
Nora: Problem is, all our recipients don't seem to be here.
MN: Well, we'll just announce them publicly, and if the recipients don't show, we'll drop them off at their door. They're all roommates, so that makes it easier.
Storyteller: Fair enough. I shall start. (clears throat) For Diana, I have a beautiful black and white sweater, knitted in a musical note pattern, complete with clefs, sharps and flats.
Nora: Okay, my turn. For Janice, lead guitarist of the Electric Mayhem, I have a set of original, autographed LPs by Joni Mitchell.
MN: And for Sgt. Floyd Pepper, the hippest of the hip, I have a set of autographed, original LPs by Eric Clapton...and what's this? Looks like one of George Harrison's records made it into the stack. But it too is autographed.
Nora: Well, they did play on each other's songs.
MN: Too true, too true. I think the Mayhem will love these.

12-28-2006, 01:26 PM

Beth: Well Red and Wanda, do you want to hand out your gifts?

Wanda: Sure. I know my person is here! I have Kathy. I picked Kathy because I'm a cat and I know how much she loves cats so I knew she'd be easy to shop for! I have given her a cat calendar, three Garfield books because I know he's her favorite, and a gift card to Petco so she can buy treats and food for Gaffer or for the cats that live at her real home. Kathy, I hope you enjoy these, you are a purrfect feline friend!

Red: I've got another resident of room 6, my good buddy Prairie Dawn. For Prairie I got a composition book so she can write more great plays, some fun new hair bows because I know how she likes to look pretty and a framed picture of the two of us from cheerleading. Enjoy my friend!

In the first box is a deep-green colored 'magic eight ball'.* Here you go, hopefully making some decisions will be abit easier for you! * in the next box, is a t-shirt (small enough to fit his size!) that sais on the front, "I know what I'm doing!.. I think." * Here you go! Hope you enjoy it Wembly!

Much better, looks like things are movin' right along.

Count: There are some who are a smidge confused.
Yes, well... There've been a few good suggestions.

*To residents of the dorms: If your Secret Santas aren't present at the moment:
a. You can just leave their gifts with a note so they can pick up the gifts later.
b. Go ahead and leave them with a "Secret Santa" tag identifying who it's from and who it's for at their rooms' doorsteps.
c. Just hand them to your Secret Santas using oversweeping narration, like when there's an opportunity for direct indirect interaction between dorm dwellers who are present and non-present.
Hope this makes some small jot of sense. And if not, well, it's always more profitable to make dollars anyway.

Bry: I don't think we're going alphabetically anymore.
Big Bird: Why not? It's fun!
Bry: Yeah, but when not everyone is here at the same time, it doesn't work out as well. Do you have your gift ready, Ern?
Ernie: Not quite. I have to do a couple things first.
Bry: Okay.

Ryan: Oh good! We can give out our Secret Santa gifts now. Who wants to start?
Gonzo: Oh I do! Bert, I shopped for you ya stick in the mud! I thought a present from me would liven you up a bit! So here! A set of super composite exploding argyle socks! Put 'em to good use!
Uncle Deadly: Frightning. Anyway, I shopped for that bundle of horror Bean. I know that he's a cute little demon, so I decided to shut him off with this, Uncle Deadly's Spooktacular Jack-in-the-Box. Go ahead bunny, open it. *Bean turns the Jack-in-the-Box and a creepy jack-o-lantern pops out* Bwa ha ha ha! Merry Christmas you cute thing!
Rowlf: Nice Uncle D., real nice. Anyhoo, I bought for the Storyteller's Dog. A nice pooch like that deserves a nice gift from another pooch. So here ya go SD, a nice shiny new bowl and some holiday doggy biscuits. Eat up, not down! Just a little joke there. Merry Christmas.
Swedish Chef: Und I mede-a a fegetereeun suooffle-a fur Kendra! Injuy! Und du heet it oonce-a oor tveece-a veet a meet cleefer, yuoo knoo, joost tu be-a seffe-a.
Ryan: Translation? This is one gift you'll definitely want to take back.
Robin: I bought Zoot a knitted cover for his saxophone! And some new red sunglasses!
Ryan: Heh, he'll be seein' the world through ruby shades now. Anyway, I shopped for Hilda, I bought her this lovely satin evening gown that I swear I didn't steal from Miss Piggy. Hilda, I hope this gown will be enough to scare you away from me. Merry Christmas!
All: Merry Christmas!

(Well, I'm gonna go ahead and be presumptuous here and get this exchange done... we're not far from the L's after all. My apologies if this causes problems.)

Leyla: Alright, in you go everyone. If they're not here, we'll just drop them off at their rooms later. Good! So, my gift is for Catherine, also known as Ru, when I am not too busy squealing in delight at her stories. (What can I say, it’s an addiction.) It’s a book, “101 Great recipes for Bears and Chickens and Things” which I thought would come in handy given her roommates, as well as a leather bound binder with a lock for her ushy gushy stories, which I suspect will also come in handy. Merry Christmas, Ru! Jimmy, you’re up!

Jimmy: Well, mah present here is fer Mr. Beauregard, it is, and seein’ as how he’s such a fashionable young feller, ah thought I’d give him mah favourite pair a overalls, right from home! You'll look spankin' good in 'em out on the town!

Wanda: Me next, me next!! Okay, so, yay, lucky me, I got the dog’s name, Sprocket…. But that’s okay! Thanks to Wayne, I know a lot about keeping dogs happy, so here you go! A basket of doggy biscuits and a copy of my album, “Wayne and Wanda’s Greatest Hits… and Misses.” I’m sure you know who’s responsible for what.

Hilda: <dryly> It works great as a dog whistle. Oh, is it my turn? Great! Well, as much as I was hoping to draw thePrawncracker…ooh, he’s so cute!...ahem… I instead drew his roommate, Gonzo the Great. Don’t ask me what he’s great at. No, no, I don’t mean that… just a little Hilda ha-ha! For Gonzo, I pulled out my sewing needle for a little friend of a friend of yours! A teddy bear, to keep your moldy old thing company.

Leyla: I guess you’re the last, Robot Kermit, since Robot Piggy wasn’t around for the exchange… um… if you could just pry yourself away from her for a minute?

RK: <sigh> Coming, coming. Whatever it is, is for Camilla. Here you go, chickita. Merry Christmas.

<Camilla opens it quickly… and is stunned to find a silk nighty with a note attached. Gonzo reads it over her shoulder.>

Leyla: <shocked> If you ever want to model this, my closet is always open?!

Robot Kermit: <somewhat abashed> Oh, yeah… I forgot about-
<He catches sight of the look on Robot Piggy’s face> Uh oh. Honey, I didn’t mean-

Robot Piggy: You robotic cretin! Hiiiii-yah! <she sends him flying into a nearby wall before storming off.>

Leyla: Oh dear. Well, uh, merry Christmas everyone! We’d better get out of here. Uh, Hilda, you’ll stay with Robot Kermit for a while? At least until Robot Piggy calms down? Don’t’ let him back to the room for a while… I have too many knickknacks out right now.

Hilda: I’ll look after him. Maybe we can visit Catherine for while if we need to. Ah, it never rains but it pours.

Jimmy: Eh?

Leyla: The other shoe dropped, Jimmy.

Jimmy: Where?

Leyla: Oh never mind. Let’s just get out of here. Cheers, everyone!

Ernie: Bert? Well, while he's laying there, I'll just hand out the next present. It goes to my good friend Ryan. He's always so much fun to play with when he's around and not too busy. He also tells great stories. So many wonderful storytellers around here! Anyhow, I got Ryan two things: the Complete Sherlock Hemlock Collection for inspiration, and this O. The guy who sold it to me said it was the hottest item on the market this season. Plus, it only cost a nickel! How 'bout that! Merry Christmas, Ryan!

Count von Count: Why, thank you Fozzie! That’s one! One wrapped present!
Fozzie: Um, yes. One wrapped present!
(The package falls open to reveal a box with an intricate tower of wooden rectangles on the front. Count von Count looks at with interest.)
Count von Count: Ah--one thousand pieces!
Fozzie: That’s right! And it’s sort of a game, sort of a work of art. You take each of the pieces, one at a time--
Count von Count: That’s one! One game! And one! One work of art!
Fozzie: That’s right. And you can make all of these different shapes, using as many of the pieces as you want.
Count von Count: Or you could make lots of different things at the same time, each with a different number of pieces!
Fozzie: Um, yes--I think there are supposed to an infinite number of combinations.
Count von Count: (staggering just a little) Infinite? You mean, you mean I could count forever?

Piggy: Kermie—before we go, a little bird told me that you were buying a present for Moi.
Kermit: (indignant) How did you know I was your Secret Santa?
Piggy: (smugly) I didn’t--until just now! Ha!
Kermit: (exasperated) Piggy!
Piggy: Besides, I figured you would want to buy Moi a present for Christmas.
(Kermit mutteres something under his breath.)
Piggy: What was that, dear?
Kermit: Um, nothing. Nothing at all. Anyway, I did actually buy you something a while ago, but when we startedd doing the secret Santa thing, I told Ed I wanted your name.
Piggy: Oh, Kermie--that’s so sweet. Since we are confessing things, Moi must confess that she is your secret Santa as well.
Kermit: The heck you say!
Piggy: The heck I do, Kermie. Here--open it up.
(Kermit looks at the package, which is pristinely wrapped. He hands Piggy his present, which can only be described as somewhat lumpy. They begin to open their respective packages. Kermit opens his box and pulls out a beautifully hand-knit sweater. It is a soft yellow-green, only slightly lighter than Kermit himself. Instead of a little alligator emblem, there is a small representation of Kermit’s face worked into the actual weave of the sweater. He puts it on.)
Kermit: Wow, Piggy--this is beautiful. It’s so soft, and warm. (He leans forward and plants a little kiss on her cheek.) Thanks, Piggy.
Piggy: (blushing a little) I’m glad you like it, Kermie. It’s hand-made.
Kermit: (looking slightly puzzled and suspicious) I didn’t know you could knit.
Piggy: (looking flustered) Oh no--I didn’t, I can’t, I can’t knit or sew or any of those things. I’m not really very domestic. (earnestly) But I know people who can do those things.
Kermit: Domestic is sometimes over-rated. (Eyeing Piggy’s difficulty opening the present) Need a little help, there?
Piggy: (ruefully) You used a lot of tape.
Kermit: Um, yeah. Maybe too much. But I didn’t want you to--
(The paper tape pulls loose at last. Inside, there are layers and layers of tissue paper protecting the actual present. Piggy sifts through the layers carefully, then lets out a little cry of delight.)
Piggy: (very softly) Oh. Oh, Kermit--you, you found one!
Kermit: Yeah--on ebay. I heard you mention that yours had been lost by the airline. I thought that you, of all people, ought to have one of these.
(Piggy is touching the doll’s face, smoothing the white satin skirt of the bridal gown. She touches the little pearls and there are tears in her eyes.)
Piggy: Oh, Kermit--she’s, you’re wonderful. (She hugs the bride doll tightly to her chest with one hand and puts her other arm around Kermit, hugging him tight.) This is so sweet of you.
Kermit: (smiling and putting his arms around her) Well, if anyone deserves one of these dolls, it’s you. (He looks at her awkwardly when she steps back, but there is an appealing shyness on his face.) You make a beautiful bride, Piggy.
Piggy: (laughing a little, wiping her eyes) You are very sweet to say so. Oh, Kermit--this one was so fun to pose for! When I was a little girl, my mother had a bride doll that always sat on her bed. I wasn’t allowed to touch it, but I loved to look at it. It was so delicate and lovely. When they asked me to pose for this one, I was thrilled. And it turned out so beautiful. But my doll, the one they gave me, was lost the last time we flew back from London. I shouldn’t have traveled with it, I know, but I liked to see it sitting on my bed when I was on the road. (She touches the doll’s blonde curls again, then hugs the doll to her chest.) Thank you, Kermit. This means the world to me. (She leans forward and kisses him where his ear would be, if frogs had ears.)
Kermit: Ah, thanks Piggy. Are you, um, ready to go to the party now? I look pretty spiffy in this sweater, huh?
Piggy: Very spiffy. Just let me leave me doll safe on my bed, okay? And then I’ll be ready to do.

Count: Yes, and I thanked him fright avay.
Good. *Inspecting the parcel... Hey, I know what that is! It's a Jenga game.
Count: Jenga you say?
Yes... You stack all the blocks into a tower... And then take turns picking one of the blocks out from the tower, trying not to pick a block that will make the tower fall over.
Count: Rully?
Yep. If your piece leaves the tower standing, it's the other person's turn to pick out a brick.
Count: And then?
Well, if the twoer collapses, you shout "Jenga!" Of course, I know you'll get more fun out of counting the bricks.
If only I knew how you do it though.
Count: It's wery simple. You just start counting 1, 2, 3...

No, it's not that... Just that I keep wembling so.
Count: It's not healthy.
Tell me about it. So many ideas, and so much frustration at not being able to get them jotted down or any satisfaction from sticking with the plan. Guess the loss of being able to draw sucked that certainty out of me. Oh well.
Count: You know vhat you need?
No, what?
Count: Some new fanfic updates... And a good hug.
*Hugs me, making things feel just a little bit better.
Thanks, needed that.

Unbeknownst to Catherine and more importantly Piggy... One of the messenger bats donning a green elf's cap leaves a parcel on Room #20's doorstep... The little packet is just as intricately wrapped as Kermit's present to the diva, but this one has just a simple ribbon wrapping the tissue paper. Three pieces that complete the bridal doll Piggy received are caringly capped within the sheer sheets. The first, an oval figure stand, rests at the bottom giving the bag it's flattened shape. The second is a wedding cake, mounted on it's cake stand and topped with a loving heart ornament. The third, the final piece, is a handsome green-skinned groom, his head intact and his wardrobe matching the pristine perfect coloring of his bride-to-be in figure form.

Happy holidays.

Wembly: Gee Emmet, thanks for these beautiful gifts! This shirt sure will make a nice change to my banana tree one!
Yeah, you can try it on later. I'm sure it'll fit perfectly though! It was very thaughtful of you Emmet to have it shrunk down.
Gobo: Emmet, guess what? I'm your secret Santa! I know you love music as much as us fraggles do, so I'm giving you a copy of the Glory Song that I wrote for our generation in the rock! I also got you a miniature tool kit, since I know your ma sold yours, but I could't quite carry and wrap a whole big toolbox for you. This is better though, since you can store it in your room better! Merry Christmas and happy Newyear Emmet!
Lou: Sarah, my present is for you. As I'm sure you know, it is a tradition in the rock to sellect a pebble, and pass it on amongst our friends every year. I know that you silly..humans are used to a different kind of gift giving though. I combed the rock, and made you this hair clip from the nicest pebbles I could find. Only the best for my friends, after all! Two rows of different colored pebbles, with a solitary pebble at each end. I hope you like it Sarah. Happy holidays!
Wembly: Boober, since you are one of my best friends in the rock, I got a present especially for you! I know that a clean room is very important to you...
Lou, (under her breath), Who doesn't know that?
Lou, be nice!
Wembly, *continuing* so I got you this bottle of something called Simple Green! Kate says it's invironmentally friendly, which means you won't get sick or hurt anyone when you use it. Happy holidays, and happy cleaning, Boober!
Now me. Bobo? Bobo? Ah, there you are. If you hadn't already guessed, I'm your secret Santa!

Boober: Yeah, before they send out a lynch mob or something.
Tosh: Boober! *smacks him*
Kim: (dryly) I'll take that as a 'yes'. All right, go get your presents, and we'll split up and give our gifts. Then we'll meet back here.
*everyone am-scrays*
Gillis: Ah, there you are Gobo! This Secret Santa gift is for you. Its a durable canvas backpack for when you go on long exploring excursions. It has many nice pockets so you can carry everything you need, like your maps and pencils.
Tosh: And Lou, I got you these cool elastic ties for your pigtails. See, they've got different things on them - this one has radishes, and the baubles on this one look like Fraggle pebbles!
Boober: *walking by* Thanks for the Simple Green, Wembley! I really love it!
Tosh: Yeah; he's started using it already.
Gillis: Tosh...
Tosh: Sorry.
Boober: Mokey, my present is for you. Its a book about Georgia O'Keefe; she's a well-known Silly Creature artist. Actually, her works remind me a little of you. Merry Christmas, Mokey.
Betty Lou: Hi, Zoe! I'm your Secret Santa this year! I got you a ballerina teddy bear. Right now she's got on her practice outfit, but she has other dresses for different ballets. There's one for Swan Lake and another for The Nutcracker, and one for Sleeping Beauty. Merry Christmas, Zoe!
Tosh: Hi, Baby Bear! Beast picked you as his Secret Santa person; I'm just along to translate for him.
Beast: *hands Baby Bear a package and mutters something*
Tosh: He says, 'Merry Christmas, Baby Bear. I know how much you like to draw about Hero Guy, so I got you a sketchpad. Now you've got plenty of paper to take Hero Guy on more adventures.
Beast: Re-ry Ris-mas!
Tosh: Merry Christmas, Baby Bear!
Kim: *knocks on door* Hey there, Erin. Guess who picked you as their Secret Santa? ;) Anyway, I know how much you love mystery stories. So I got you both volumes of the Complete Cases of Sherlock Holmes. Hope you enjoy them, and Happy Holidays.

MN: The Complete Cases of Sherlock Holmes! (takes first volume and quickly leafs through a couple of pages) Excellent, most excellent! Thank you, Kim! (turns to another page) Oh, good, it's got A Scandal in Bohemia...Holmes had feelings for Irene Adler; he just wouldn't admit it.
Nora: I guess I know what you're going to be reading over the next couple of days, gumshoe.
MN: Too right. And Storyteller, if you would be good enough to put down your new quill for five minutes, let's go drop off our presents at room 33.

Outside room 33, sometime later:

Three packages, with a note attached:

For Diana, from Storyteller, a musical note patterned sweater. For Janice, from Nora, a collection of autographed Joni Mitchell LPs. For Floyd, from Muppet Newsgirl (aka Erin), a set of autographed Eric Clapton and George Harrison records. Merry Christmas and keep on grooving, from the gang in room 7.

Nora: Hey, Erin, can I borrow one of the Sherlock Holmes books when you're done?
MN: Sure. But I'm heading to New Jersey tonight for New Year's weekend, so don't hold your breath. You're blue enough as it is.
Nora: (mimes drumroll and cymbal clash) Good luck dealing with the relatives, okay? We'll hold down the fort here.

Big Bird: Rollerblades!
Bry: Bert and Ernie got you rollerblades?!
Bert: Ernie got him rollerblades. I got him the helmet.
Bry: But you already have rollerskates.
Ernie: Yeah, but rollerblades are so much cooler!

Wembly, *walking over to me while turning the 8 ball over and over* Wow, this thing is pretty neat-looking! Um, what does it do?
Me, *laughing slightly* Well Wembly, what you do is you ask it a question, and then you shake it a little and it gives you an answer.
Wembly: *in awe* You mean it's magic?
Well, sort of. *to self* If you follow Gobo's philosophy.
Wembly: Oh great magic 8 ball, will Kate get any presents today?

Yep, thanks gals. And the blue furry cookie-eater's back, he just arrived a few moments before. No worries, we're here now and I'm sure Kyle has some goodies to keep his furry fratmate occupied. Have a happy New Year's Day, and thanks again.

(door opens)
Nora: Hold on, someone's here.
(enter MN)
Storyteller: Well, it's about time you got back here, Miss Newsy Floozy.
MN: (snort) And a happy 2007 to you too, Storyteller. It rained like I-don't-know-what in Jersey.
Nora: Yeah, I heard. And didn't they cancel the Mummers parade in Philly?
Storyteller: Mummers parade? What's that?
MN: An excuse for silly creatures to get dressed up in fancy costumes and parade about the city. And I think it just got delayed for a day.
Storyteller: Well, sit you down, dear girl, and listen to my tale of the Foxglove Fraggle.
MN: Sounds deadly. Let me grab a cup of tea and I'll join you. (goes into kitchen for said cup of tea) You know, while my mom and I were out puttering around town on New Year's Eve, we found a chocolate shop that was selling the most divine hot chocolate.
Nora: Oooh, do tell.
MN: (returns with tea) Yeah, the stuff's imported from Italy. Probably costs the owner a bundle, but it's worth it. It's like drinking hot liquefied chocolate pudding, and it's a good balance of sweet and bitter...
Storyteller: Stop it, you're making me salivate all over the sofa.
MN: So tell me about old Foxglove. He was proclaiming something in a terrible voice.
Storyteller: Oh, right, right. (clears throat) And he proclaimed in a terrible voice, "Foolish little Fraggles, you shall regret trespassing in my sacred caves. You shall all pay a terrible price for your transgressions."
MN: Gee, sounds like the head of my neighborhood's homeowner's association.

Nora: I heard something about Kathy having a bad tooth or something.
MN: Yeah, a rather painfully-positioned molar which will probably require the services of an oral surgeon.
Storyteller: Dear, dear. Might I recommend a moss pack and some rockbeetle nest tea. It's the best thing for a toothache.
Nora: And maybe some chocolate pudding as well?
MN: Yeah, as long as it's not too hot or cold. The cocoa and cornstarch are in the far left cupboard, and use one of the smaller saucepans under the stove. I'll get to work on a get well card.
(Storyteller starts brewing tea and prepping a cool moss pack, Nora unearths ingredients for pudding and MN opens up her art supplies box)
Storyteller: So what'd everyone do today?
Nora: They're adding on a new wing down at Coming Unbound. So I had to help put a lot of the books into storage.
MN: Had to check on next semester's tuition and buy my books. Can you imagine how hard it was to track down a copy of Anna Karenina?
Nora: Ergh. Mrs. F. says a lot of high school and college kids have been buying that book lately. Must be on a lot of reading lists.
Storyteller: I'm concerned. Beige Fraggle and his little sister were supposed to bring over a history of the Terrible Cave Quake, but they never arrived.

(sometime later, group knocks on Kathy's door)

MN: Kathy, you in there? We've got some pudding, tea, moss packs and get well cards for you!

Wha zat? Huh?
As he lifts his achin' noggin, a glass of cold bat's milk and a couple of date cakes placed on a small dish are there, to provide substinance should he continue plodding through the wee hours of the morning.

Aw, must remember to thank whoever left these here. Also need to talk to Beth, eh that'll be tomorrow I guess since I doubt she'd be awake this late at night.

Luna: Hello, Bryan. Did you have a good holiday?
Bry: I did. Christmas was the best ever! Got to spend it with everyone I wanted to and we all had a wonderful time. Even here at the Dorms. We did Secret Santas, which I think is still going on last I heard.
Luna: I heard that Telly was having some trouble.
Bry: He was. He struggled to try and come up with the perfect present. He made things, baked things, bought things and they all either broke, smeared or spoiled.
Luna: That's too bad.
Bry: Yeah, but as it turned out Oscar was his exchangee! So, it didn't turn out as badly as Telly thought.
Luna: Of course. Oscar is a grouch.
Bry: Yep! And Telly forgot that grouches like broken, disgusting things.
Luna: It sounds like even Oscar had a merry Christmas.
Bry: I think he did...for Oscar anyway.
Hoots: Hehehe!
Luna: It's so nice to see everyone get just what they wanted for Christmas.
Bry: And New Years was also a blast! Even though I wasn't here, I had so much fun with my girlfriend and her family in Las Vegas. I met her grandmother for the first time and she's such a wonderful lady. Quite a spitfire. We saw beautiful fireworks and made noise!
Luna: I see a lot of fireworks in the sky on New Years. It's quite colorful.
Bry: It was fun, but now I have to go with my girlfriend to help her move up north. She's performing in a show there for a few months. I'm sure gonna miss her.
Luna: The same way that Big Bird and Telly are missing you right now.
Bry: Yeah. I feel so terrible leaving them for so long.
Luna: They understand and you'll be back soon.
Bry: True. Well, I should get to bed. I have an early morning ahead of me.
Luna: Oh, Bryan? Before you go, would you mind saying the sponsors with me?
Bry: I would love to, Luna. I would love to.
Hoots: (starts playing the Sesame Street lullaby theme)
Bry: Muppet College Dorms were brought to you today by the letter T for "trip," "time," and "tomorrow".
(a group of twinkling stars shine to form the letter T in the sky)
Luna: And by the number 7...
(another group of stars form a 7 constellation)
Bry: ...Which is what time I need to get up in the morning. Goodnight, Luna. Goodnight, Hoots. (goes down to room 29 to sleep)
Luna: Goodnight. (floats up to the sky while Hoots continues playing the sax)

(It is early morning and things are grumpy in Room 20. Catherine is herding her roomies around like a drill sargeant while everyone pretty much whines and grumbles.)
Catherine: That is IT! No more late night movies! And if I have any more grumblings about how early morning comes, I'm going to cancel everybody's subscription to MSN! Do I make myself clear?
(There is a startled silence, and everyone begins to move more energetically toward getting to class.)
Piggy: (frantically) I can't find my boot! I can't find my other boot and I'm going to be late for class!
Catherine: (placatingly) Okay, calm down. Go eat your waffles and I'll go look for it. What does it look like?
Piggy: It's black.
(Catherine sighs. Piggy has no less than 13 pairs of black boots. She bends down and slips the one boot off Piggy's foot and heads off to do battle with Piggy's closet.)
Fozzie: Catherine! Catherine--I can't find my textbook!
Kermit: Which one is it, Fozzie? I'll help you look until Catherine comes back.
Fozzie: It's--it's orange. It's my ear-wiggling textbook.
(There is a sudden silence in the room, then Kermit shakes himself.)
Kermit: Um--ear-wiggling? You're taking a class in ear-wiggling?
Fozzie: (proudly) Advanced Ear-Wiggling. I clepped out of the basic class easy.
Kermit: Oh, well, er, that's great, Fozzie. Wait--I think I found it! Is this it?
Fozzie: (rapturously) Yes! Oh, thank you Kermit! (hugs book)
(Catherine re-emerges at this point, triumphant. She has a pink feather boa around her neck and something that might be a garter belt has its hooks in her sweater, but she is clutching the boots tightly. She kneels down and helps Piggy put her boots on while Piggy gulps the last of her tea.)
Piggy: Oh, thank you Catherine! Kissy kissy! (runs for the door) Kissy kissy Kermie--see you after class!
Kermit: Bye Piggy--see you after class!
(Fozzie has his mouth full of honey and waffles so he waves. Catherine leans forward desperately and snatches his tie before it can fall in the honey.)
Fozzie: (swallowing) What's Piggy taking this semester?
Kermit: Um, Torch Songs 303, and um, Karate for Stage and Screen and, and....
Catherine: (distractedly) Accounting.
(Another dead silence.)
Kermit: Accounting? Piggy's taking accounting?
Catherine: (clearing dishes) Uh huh. It's called Accounting for Divas. It's supposed to help you figure out whether the offers you get are a good deal or not. Something about figuring royalties and residuals.
Kermit: (making a scrunchy face) I thought Marty took care of all that? Isn't that what you have an agent for?
Catherine: (grinning) Actually, Marty suggested she take it. He's one smart cookie, but there are times where your agent isn't there. I'll bet you she gets an "A." Any takers?
(Kermit and Fozzie both hold up their hands in surrender.)
Kermit: No way. I never bet against a sure thing. Okay Fozzie--you ready?
Fozzie: (mumbling around a huge mouthful of waffle) Almost.
Catherine: Um, Kermit--didn't you want any pancakes?
Kermit: (a little uncomfortably) Um, not this morning. Too sweet for me this early in the day.
Catherine: Oh--sorry. (She scrunches her face up in a fair imitation of Kermit, then smiles.) Wait a minute, though--I have something else that might do the trick. (She opens the pantry and pulls out a protien bar.) Try this.
(Kermit looks at it, reading the label.)
Kermit: "Each bar is chock full of natural protein." (He looks at the ingredients list, reading it out loud) dragonfly, millipeeds, carob, natural fruit fiber, fortified with vitamins B and C... Thanks, Catherine. THis looks great. Where'd you get this?
Catherine: Little shop near the waterfront. (A bait shop.) Thought you might like them. Let me know, okay? They have peanut-butter, too.
(Kermit nods and waves, munching happily as he starts out the door. Fozzie gets up, finishes his milk and dashes to catch up with Kermit.)
(After the door shuts, Catherine heaves a sigh of relief and whips the feather boa off, blowing little pieces of feather fluff out of her eyes. The garter belt is more stubborn, and takes some effort to remove from her sweater. She gulps her own tea--cold now--and dashes for the door. Sewing for Inanimate Objects isn't going to hold up for anyone!)

Yes... Have to get this finished...

Trust me, it's better this get done now since it's taken so much of my time. Besides, last day of freedom before turning my attention to other errands that must get done.
Count: Vell... Just make sure you get some rest vhen you finally complete your counting.
Sure thing buddy... Night.
Count: Good night... And don't let the batty bats bite.

The light is quickly snuffed out, as the numerian night stalker returns to the realm welcoming all weary travelers in its wobegon dream dimension.

Oh hi Beth. Over these posts I've come to learn that Lisa's pretty much unreachable by modern methods, and the only chance of contacting her is through relaying the message by her other half/fiancee who's now strangely married to her.
*Small laugh, check the 30th of December thread if you haven't alreay.

My PM box is clear now, so maybe she'll contact me later with whatever it is. Something about keeping our rooms or something. Well, I certainly plan on keeping my room.

MN: Me? I'm making another quilt.
Nora: Not like that piece de resistance you made for Richard.
MN: No, not nearly that difficult. It's just a patchwork number for me to recline on when I'm studying out on the lawn or something.
Storyteller: Excellent. As for me...I have to prepare several scrolls' worth of lecture notes on the Great Mudflat Catastrophe of the Fifth Drafting, and I'm really on pins and needles about it...
MN: You're sure you're not sitting on your pincushion again?
Storyteller: What...ouch! (removes offending pincushion and mutters several curse words in ancient Fragglish)

Big Bird: (walking in through back door) La la la la la! La la...oh, what's this? Bryan? He's sleeping.
Bry: (opens eyes and sees the big feathery face staring down at him) AAAAAAHHH!!!!
Big Bird: WHAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
Bry: Oh, Big Bird! You've got to stop doing that.
Big Bird: Doing what?
Bry: Nevermind. Oh my gosh! Did I really nap for that long?
Big Bird: I dunno. What time did you get home.
Bry: A while ago. What are you doing up so late?
Big Bird: Waiting for you to get home! Beth said you'd be back today. Oh, I'm so glad you're here!
Bry: Me too, Big Bird. It's so good to be back with you all. (hugs the bird) Oh, I missed those feathery hugs! Where is everyone else?
Telly: (throwing the front door open) Bryan!!!
Bry: (mimicking him) Telly!!!
Telly: You're back! (hugs me) Umm...you are back, aren't you?
Bry: For a while, yes.
Telly: Oh thank goodness! I thought we'd never see you again! You've been taking too much after Ryan lately.
Big Bird: Well, their names do sound alike.
Telly: True.
Bry: No, I'll be here for a while. I'll be leaving for a longer trip in March, but we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it.
Telly: Jump off what bridge?? I can't! Heights scare me!
Bry: It's just a figure of speech, Telly. Hmm...it sounds like someone's been taking after Boober lately.
Big Bird: And their names do not sound alike.
Bert: (walking in through the open door) Bryan? Hey, look, Ernie! He's back!
Ernie: (following behind with Rubber Duckie in hand) And just in time too!
Bry: Oh? For what?
Ernie: For Rubber Duckie's birthday, of course!
Bry: Rubber Duckie's birthday? Was that today? So sorry I missed it.
Ernie: But you didn't. It's tomorrow!
Bry: I didn't get him a present.
Ernie: That's okay. I've already got a little surprise cooked up. (covers Rubber Duckie's ears, or atleast where his ears would be) I first need to gather up some of our friends to help out. Like Prairie and the Monsters and everyone.
Bry: Cool. Well, if there's anything I can do, let me know.
Ernie: Maybe you can pick up the cake.
Bert: (lowers eyebrow) The cake?
Bry: We're actually having a party?
Ernie: Nothing too fancy.
Bert: (sighs)
Big Bird: Red Fraggle mentioned having a birthday a few days ago, but there wasn't any party. I wonder why. She seemed kinda sad about it.
Telly: Well, I know I would be if someone forgot my birthday.
Big Bird: I tried to cheer her up by making a snow-snuffleupagus.
Bry: Did it work?
Big Bird: It did until the real Snuffy came by to visit and acidentally slipped on the ice and fell into it knocking it over.
Bry: Oh, those dang icy patches!
Big Bird: Yeah.
Bry: Well, I think it's not only Red's birthday, but a bunch of the Fraggles birthdays as well.
Bert: What are the odds?
Bry: Come on. Help me get unpacked some more and then we can figure out what to do for the Fraggles and Rubber Duckie.

Aaaaargh!
Count: Is everything all fright Ed?

Yes, I just forgot about the B-Days to announce.

Count: Vell, why don't you do that now?
Good point.

Hey guys... Ther's a party goin' round these parts today... Later in the afternoon actually.
So who's the lucky birthers?

All five of the Fraggle clan: Gobo and Wembley, who room with Kate, Boober, staying with Kim, Mokey, who's currently with Nyssa, and Red Fraggle who's been helping Beth with all the recent dorm events.
Sprocket who resides with Melissa also shares a birthday with the Fraggle Five as they've come to be known, haven't seen her lately, guess those darn marathon work shifts have kept her preoccupied.
Their birthday was this past Wednesday, January 10, and we'll be having the party this weekend.

Finally, today, the 13th of January marks the day of joy for Rubber Duckie. So I guess it'll be a grand time in the ol' pool house tonight as Ernie and Red live it up splashing and splishing to the tune of all the well-wishers who I hope decide to show up.
Have fun and happy B-Days you guys.
Count: Ah-ha! That's sewen sintillating celebrations all in one day!

Ryan: I'm sure she will eventually.
Robin: But I can't wait that long!
Ryan: But you don't even know how long that is! It could be a day, it could be three, it could be a week-
Gonzo: It could be forty-seven hours, eighty-eight minutes, ninety-three seconds and twelve-hundred and seventy-three miliseconds!
Ryan: ...Yes, it could be that long too.
Robin: I prefer the shortest option.
Ryan: Me too.

Here's an update on who's leaving and what roomies are now available:

Diana and Nyssa have chosen to leave the dorms for now. Therefore room 23 and 33 are now available. The following roomies are also now available:

Janice
Zoot
Floyd
Dr. Teeth
Mokey
Ludo
The Jabberwock

Abby Cadabby has enjoyed her stay but has decided to move out of room 3 (OOC: I just haven't had enough exposure to her so I've decided to let her go, anyone else wants to try it, go for it)

Cookie Monster has decided after a long stay to move on from Kyle's room and he will now be living with Beth, Red, and Wanda the Cat in room 3 (OOC: If anyone wants to take him though I'm willing to discuss that, but when Kyle said Cookie was leaving I just really wanted to take him in, but seeing as I'm helping organize and it might not seem fair, it's totally cool if someone else wants him, but for now, that's the plan)

If you have not let Beth or Ed know your intentions of staying or leaving and which roommates are, please let them know ASAP. We'd like to open the dorm to other potential residents sometime this week as the term is already underway.

Thanks everyone!
Dorms Management

Bry: Bye! Now let's see...we need to get the monsters from Kyle's room.
Big Bird: I'll get them. (goes)
Bry: And Prairie and Rosita...
Bert: Uuhh...no, no.
Bry: What?
Bert: They went home to Sesame Street for a while.
Bry: Oh.
Telly: But we need Prairie! Who else is gonna play the piano for the song?!
Bry: It's no problem. I think a certain canine I know can handle it.
Bert: Perfect! I'll go get him! (runs to Ryan's room)
Bry: And grab anyone else in your path that you think might want to participate in this! Telly, you wanna go downstairs and get the Count?
Telly: Yes sir! (salutes and goes)
Bry: The little Duckie's gonna love this!

The Count

01-13-2007, 03:30 PM

Count: Or three or four or five... Ah-ha-ha!

Beth: I got you something though
Red: Oh yeah? Really? What is it? *getting really excited*
Beth: Here, open it
Red *opens gift* Wow! Rollerblades?! I can rollerblade all over the dorm!

Bert: I don't know. He took himself for a walk or something.
Bry: Oh great...I'm not good enough at the piano to play this song.
(a small knock on the door is heard)
Bry: I wonder who that could be. (opens the door) Prairie!! And Rosita!!!
Prairie: Hello there!
Rosita: Hola!
Bry: What are you doing here? I thought you went home to Sesame Street.
Prairie: And miss Rubber Duckie's birthday? I don't think so.
Rosita: Si, we wouldn't miss it for the world! He is so cute and wonderful!
Prairie: Besides, Ernie's one of my best friends, and you need a piano player.
Bert: Who told you?
Prairie: Word gets around fast in these parts.
Bert: Good point.
Bry: How's Kathy doing?
Rosita: Dios mio! Still in great pain, but she'll recover soon. She always does!
Bry: Great! Well, here's the music that Ernie gave us to learn, and some of the others should be here soon for a quick rehearsal. Thank you, girls. You're life-savers.
Prairie: Okay. Stand aside, everyone, while the maestro approaches the piano bench!
Rosita: Oooh!

Roomies: Yeah!
Tosh: Kim? Can we give Boober our present early?
Kim: I don't see why not. Boober, front and center!
Boober: What is it? Can't it wait until after the party; we're going to be late! Again.
Kim: Nope, sorry, it can't. We've got a little something we'd like to give you seeing as how its your birthday and all. Gillis, would you care to do the honors?
Gillis: Of course. *takes out a piece of paper* A-hem. Boober Fraggle, on behalf of Kim and the other roommates of Room #19, I hereby present to you this certificate good for One Quiet Day Per Month.
Others: *applauding*
Boober: W-what does that mean?
Kim: Basically, it says that you are entitled to one full day off a month. 24 hours to do whatever you want - drink tea, watch dust settle...no cleaning or laundry.
Boober: What if I want to do laundry?
Kim: ...you can do your own laundry, but nobody else's. And no one can ask you to do anything for them, either. If they ask, you have the right to refuse. All I ask is that you let us know before hand.
Boober: ...Wow. This is...I-I don't know what to say. Thanks, guys.
Kim: You're welcome. Happy birthday, Boober.

[I am so sorry about being gone from here for about a whole month! And completely missing the Christmas party and Secret Santa too!! The following shall explain why, and it shall also rectify the fact that....I missed the Secret Santa thing!]

Sara: *Comes walking into the room, looking bedraggled and tired* Hi guys!

*they both come rushing towards her, worried sick about her*

Scooter: Are you okay?

Sadie: Where have you been for the entire month, Sara?

Sara: Helping...my mother. She's been laid up with a sprained gluteus maximus muscle.

Sadie: "gluteus maximus muscle"? What does that mean?

Sara: Basically....she sprained her butt. *waits for laughter to ensue, but none comes*

Scooter: Is she doing okay now?

Sara: I'm suprised you didn't laugh. But I guess everyone knows that your butt is the largest muscle in your body. But uh...sorta doing okay. She can hobble around her classroom; but if she moves too quickly, it goes into spasms and it really hurts.

Sadie: Oh, that's terrible!

Sara: Did you guys do Secret Santa yet?

Scooter: No...we've been waiting for you, actually.

Sara: Oh! Ya'll shouldn't have done that! I....I completely forgot to get something for Skeeter!

Scooter: *produces a beautiful purple velveteen track jacket set from off of the table, already wrapped and labeled.* Figured you'd forget. So I picked it up for you.

Sara: You....are a godsend Scoot. Thank you SO much! Let's go hand out these long-awaited gifts already, okay?

*The three of them finally get around to handing out their Secret Santa gifts. Skeeter got the track suit set from Sara, Lisa got a nice set of pencils and lots of hardbound notebooks from Sadie, for all of her writing needs. And Beth got a gift card from Hooper's, as well as a coupon to have her wedding dress professionally cleaned and stored away properly for archival safety.*

Ernie: Can I have everyone's attention please! I know that we have many birthdays to celebrate today, but I would like to take this time to pay special tribute to a very good friend of mine. Prairie, if you please?
(Prairie Dawn nods and starts to play the piano freely and relaxed following Ernie's rhythem.)

Ernie: (sings) There's someone that I care for
Gee, the one I need is you
A chum who's always there for me
If skies are grey or blue
Your precious little picture
Is a fixture in this frame
I love to sit and stare at it
And softly spell your name

(The music picks up to a latin beat)

D means you're delightful and delicious and so dear
U says I'm undone by what you do
C is for the cute way that you squeak into my ear
K is for the kick I get from you
I, I'll be there if you're in hot water
E you're extra-special to the end
Put them altogether, they spell DU-UUU-CKIE
Rubber duckie, I'm so lucky you're my friend

So are you enjoying your birthday, Rubber Duckie? (squeak, squeak)
You didn't blow out the candles on your cake. (squeak, squeak) Make a good wish! (Ernie holds up the Duckie by a tiny birthday cake with one lit candle. As Ernie squeazes the Duckie, he squeaks and the candle is magically blown out) Khekhekhe!

(A chorus of friends, including Maurice, Wanda, Telly, Betty Lou, Fraggles, and the human roomies as well, start singing with a few of them getting individual solos; Bryan is conducting them...)
Cookie: D means you're delightful and delicious and so dear Ah ha ha!
Count: U says I'm undone by vhat you do
Grover: C is for the cute way that you squeak into my ear
Bert: K is for the kick I get from you
Herry: I, I'll be there if you're in hot water
Rosita: E you're extra-special to the end
Big Bird: Put them altogether, they spell
All: DU-UUUUUUU-CKIE
Ernie: Rubber duckie, I'm so lucky you're my friend

(All nod to each other as if to say that was fun)
