Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Have at them, Deadly. (gratefully hands anchovy-laden slices to UD)
Erin: (swallowing second slice of pizza) Well, that was good stuff - what does everyone else feel like tonight? Ice cream and a movie or something?
Scooter: Sounds great - what kinds do we have?
Erin: (as everyone starts putting away the leftovers) Mint chocolate chip, orange swirl, Swiss almond, triple fudge and raspberry ripple.
Nora: I'll take the raspberry ripple.
Beige: And I'd like the triple fudge.
Erin: Tell you what - Storyteller and I will dish up the ice cream, and you guys can go pick out a movie...but nothing with excessive violence or kissing. Scooter, what flavor do you want?
Scooter: Orange swirl. (goes to common room with Nora and Beige)
Erin: What flavor, Storyteller?
Storyteller: Swiss almond.
Erin: That leaves me with the mint chocolate chip. (the two start to dish up ice cream)

(in common room)

Scooter: Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Nora: Or maybe Hound of the Baskervilles?
Beige: The Great Escape?

(more shuffling through DVDs)

Nora: This one?
Scooter: Okay.
Beige: Sounds good.

(Erin and Storyteller enter with ice cream)

Erin: So what's tonight's film?
Scooter: Chamber of Secrets.
Erin: Excellent. Here's the ice cream, everyone.

(gang climbs onto sofa and into armchairs as film starts)

Ryan: *being suffocated in a hug by Claudia* Thanks... Claudia... but... I can't breathe.

Room #25 Description
When first walking in to room 25, you enter a living room area with a recliner, a large couch, a coffee table, and a television. On the coffee table sits copies of "Jim Henson: The Works" and "Sesame Street Unpaved." The television set sits on a small black bookcase, on the first shelf sits a VHS/DVD player combo, and on the second and third shelves sits Ryan's Sesame Street, Muppet, Fraggle Rock, Disney, Star Wars, and other films DVD collection. In the corner of the living room area is another small bookshelf that holds Ryan's CD collection of Muppet, Sesame, and Disney music.

Directly behind the living room is a small kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and sink.

Next to the living room is a small hallway leading to a closet where Gonzo and Camilla sleep in a hammock hanging from the towel shelf and the bed sheet shelf. At the bottom of the closet is a pile of Gonzo's many shirts, pants, and shoes, along with his mold collection and some other random items of wierdness. Camilla also has a few belongings at the bottom of the closet.

In the middle of the room leads to a bedroom in which Link, Ryan, and Clifford sleep. To the right of the room is a bunk bed where Clifford sleeps on top and Link on bottom. At the foot of the bunk bed is a four shelved book shelf where Ryan houses most of his Muppet action figures. On the other side of the room, across from the bunk bed, is a small bed where Ryan sleeps. In between the two beds sits a large dresser filled with clothes of Ryan, Clifford, and Link. At the foot of Ryan's bed is a desk where his computer and Muppet plushies sit. Also he has two Muppet picture frames, a Kermit and Miss Piggy cookie jar, a Kermit lamp, and a framed set of the Muppet stamps. The Jim Henson, Rainbow Connection Kermit, and Super Grover action figures are also on the desk.

A drawer is attached to the bottom of the desk contains three notebooks that can't be opened by anyone but Ryan himself. They contain most of his fan-fictional writings.

There is one window inside Ryan, Clifford, and Link's room, and the door that used to lead into that room has been taken out so Ryan can't be locked in his room anymore.

Alex: *still pounding on Oscar's lid* Hi Ryan! Great ta see ya! Well, I guess I'll quit botherin Oscar for now.... but I'll be back! Mwahahahaha! Yessssss! I'm back! And crazier than before!

Elmo: *hides behind Bean*
Bean: *hides behind Ryan*

Room 24 Description:
The walls are painted bright yellow on the bottom half, royal blue on the top half, with a white border across the middle. It has three big round windows all with yellow trim, and each of which has its own little nook with a bench beneath it. At night, the windows look like three full-moons.
The carpet is a dark, mottled green with red polka-dots.
Bean and Elmo have a red bunk-bed on the left side. Bean's bedding is blue with green triangles. Elmo's bedding is yellow with red stripes.
Alex's bed is in the middle of the back wall. Her bedding is blue with yellow moons and stars, and of course, covered in plushes.
Each person has a dresser. Beans is green with blue knobs. Elmos is red with yellow knobs. Alex's is yellow with blue knobs.

Beside the bunk-bed is Bean and Elmo's toychest, which is overflowing with toys and plushes. There is also a white bookshelf, which contains Alex's vast collection of novels, Bean's storybooks, and Elmo's coloring books.
There is a little stand with Elmo's fish Dorothy on it beside the bottom bunk.

A yellow table with a red border is in the middle of the room, with four blue and green chairs.

[Erine81981]

Oscar: What was all that racket? *opens trashcan lid and looks around* Was i hearing things? Oh well. Back to my show. "Grouch Jobs." *heads back down in his trashcan*

Over in room 26...........

That was some good pizza.

Murray: It sure was. *burp!* Excuse me.

Burce: *burrrrrrp!* Excuse me too. Man i never knew it would be this fun.

Room 26 Description:

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(lights flicker in room 7)
Erin: There's something going on with the electricity.
Beige: (hearing Claudia screaming) That's not coming from the film.
Erin: No, it isn't...wait, wait...it can only be...
Nora: Bunsen trying to test something on Claudia?
Scooter: You mean he's got guinea pigs other than Beaker these days?
Storyteller: Unfortunately. Let's pause the movie and make sure she hasn't actually been hurt this time.

(gang makes a run for the elevator)

Scooter: Oh, no, Phil's in on it too.
Erin: Oh - why didn't I put the Geneva convention on my speed dial?
Beige: Tell me, do these scientist guys do this all the time?
Nora: Yeah...sometimes it's funny, but other times it's scary.
Storyteller: (hammering on door) All right, boys, kindly unplug Claudia's brain before you short-circuit half the dorms!

[Erine81981]

Herry, Murray, Bruce and Me run up down to Claudia's room

Hey Erin. Storyteller, Beige, Scooter and Nora. What's going on?

Murray: Yea. Is everything alright?

Herry: She hasn't been hurt has see?

Bruce: I hope she hasn't.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter: Awww, but-t-t-t the brain i-

Bunsen: Okiee dokiee! Sorry! You heard him Phillip.

Dr. Van Neuter: *Sighs* Fine. *Glares to Bunsen* I don't speak stupid.

Meanwhile, back in Room 25...
Link: *unpacking* And I'll put my socks in the sock drawer... and my--*clears throat* ascot collection in the--*clears throat* ascot collection drawer.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(All return to room 7)

Nora: And I thought I'd left all that home with my siblings.
Scooter: Good thing Claudia's okay - any more of that and she could light up the Bronx.
Erin: Or at least de-stabilize the power grid. And with everyone moving in, that's the last thing we need tonight.

(group sits down to finish the movie)

Nora: Is it true that Sam the Eagle and Link Hogthrob are here now?
Beige: I've heard about them - Sam's the last sort of Muppet you'd expect to find here.
Scooter: He still hasn't forgiven me for showing off that picture of Mozart - long story.
Erin: And Link's denser than the plot of an Ingmar Bergman flick.
Storyteller: Shh - the basilisk is coming.

(hush, followed by a group muttering of "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?")

[The Count]

UD, returning to Room #1: Ah, that was simply delicious.
Mmm, I see the room's ready for our presence to haunt its chambers.

Room #1 Descript.
Basically, it's the same as previous years. There are tiled floors with spiderweb likened lining in between the tiles. A spider-legged ceiling fan oscillates creating a gentle chilly breeze. There's a couch in the center of the room, topped with a bat ear headpiece, the couch itself can be set to rotate as well

The walls are painted in a subtle smoky crimson red with gothic black wall moldings along the ceiling.
Closets can be found on either side of the room's main door; the one on the right is mine, the one on the left belongs to both the Count and Uncle Deadly. Orange jack o'lantern knobs adorn my closet and dresser drawers where I keep my clothes and bathing essentials, whereas gray thundercloud knobs are on the opposing side's closet and dresser drawers.

My bed is directly pushed against the outside wall of my closet, a poster hanging above the headboard depicting Autumn in a romantic pose, the night wind whipping a little at the lower edges of her dress. My bed has lightened gray sheets and cases, bats printed upon them, and a dark red fluffy blanket. The Count's and Uncle Deadly's beds are parallel to each other but perpendicular to mine, pushed against the far wall instead. The Count has blood red sheets and pillow cases, glowing white numbers from 1 to 10 printed on the sheets, and a green fuzzy blanket. The poster above his bed includes some of his monster Muppet friends like Quasibobo, the Invisible Man (Beaker), Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Bunsen) the Headless Horseman (Ernie), the Werewolf (Rowlf), Creature of the Black Lagoon (Kermit), the Mummy (Zoot), Phantom of the Opera (Dr. Teeth), and Frankenstein's Monster (Link). Uncle Deadly has grinning blue skulls printed upon grave white sheets, white cases, and deadened grayish blanket. The poster hanging above his bed features Vincent Price, some of the ghosts, and Deadly himself. A framed picture of Countess Dahling von Dahling and Auntie Eleanor rest atop their beds' shelves. The Count's bat organ has been placed between their beds so either spook can play some soothing mood music.

My double shelving unit housing my Muppet figure collection occupies a space along the righthand side wall, the desk with computer, MC Radio plugin takes up the rear righthand corner with a wheeled chair. We also have a TV entertainment unit with digital cable box, VCD machine, and dual DVD/VCR machine. There's an ICE scare conditioner unit tucked down below as well. The rear lefthand corner has a furnace connected to the mystical flu network should special guests decide to visit from the other side, along with a shelf for Uncle Deadly's teapot and green tea cracked te cups,though not so chipped they can't be used to drink out of. Plush animals such as a vulture, gargoyle and ripped teddybear are on the shelf next to the organ on the Count's side, though Deadly does have Yorick poised near his loved one's framed picture. Our Muppet, Sesame, and Fraggle DVD's are kept in a zipped album along with the special boxed releases in the entertainment center's cabinet.

Yep, I think that's everything... Pleasant screams everybody.
*Evil cackling can be heard as the door quickly closes shut on the scene inside.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *carries luggage to room 11*
Beau: Er...Bo? I don't think that should be wriggling...
Bo: You don't know what I've packed in there.
Beau: *blink*
Bo: I'm kidding...I'm kidding. It really shouldn't be moving...I wonder why it is...*dumps the luggage on the bed and finds a near-by pitchfork just in case*

[Gloat]

Gloat: Are we allowed in yet?

Adam: I don't know, ill check *walks into building and up to the reception desk with Boppity and Gloat, rings the bell thingy* Hello? We allowed in yet?

[The Count]

*Answering the bell at the lobby's desk. Hello, yes, you've been admitted as residents. Just sent you the message saying so. LMK if you need help finding your room, it's the third one down on your right after turning to your left from this floor's common room.

[Gloat]

Adam: ok thanks, appreciate it *starts walking where they are told* alright guys this time you're not getting me lost

Boppity: We'll try not to. How are we decorating our room?

Adam: Same as last time

Gloat: You mean you're gonna...

Adam: Yes, same coloured paint as last time, but this time i'll let you smash yourselves against the walls *smiles*

[Beauregard]

Bo: I'll save unpacking for later. *tosses luggage into the closet to sound of a yelp* What the...is someone is the closet? Beau, go check.
Beau: Erm...I don't think...
Bo: Of course it's safe!
Beau: Yeahs, but I don't think...
Bo: Yes, I know you don't think.
Beau: *blink* I don't think it's the cupboard that squeached...I think it's the luggage?
Bo: The -- But how, why? We left all the talking food in France on our way over.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

Epistemology, it contains some other meaning other than just the origin of something. There is no exact philosophy that has ever come close to this word. UGH! Humanities kills sometimes...*Headesk*

Van Neuter:

OH! You're just a kid and already, you think you've figured the whole thing out. Pssha! Come here, I'll help yah with that homework. *Chuckles* Now, there are many examples of things that could like demonstrate itself to be just that! You just have to observe rather than introvert yourself! Don't you see? Look at those dead guys that try to look all legendary with a rock in their hand! They sure have given Epistimology a meaning!

Look, girlfriend, you've got to open your eyes...
the noggin does not work ALL the time.

The point is..don't think! Look!

Claudia:

You are so right! *Looks determined to write that essay*

Van Neuter:

Of course sweetie! I'm a genius.

Claudia:

I knew that. *Red*

Bunsen: Could you lower your voice Phillip? I'm trying to get this wire in place.

Van Neuter: Sure. *Rolls his eyes*

Beaker: Meep meep...*Shakes head timidly as he is put under testing*

Bunsen: *Ignores him* Beakie, I'm sure you'll be fascinated with this one!

Beaker: *Whimpers* Meeee?

Bunsen: I can see you're excited already! Alrighty then! *Presses the button*

---

Claudia: BEAKERR! *Carries his flattened body*

Beaker: @_@ Mee...MEEMEEMEEEMEE!

Bunsen: Too much pressure...

Claudia: GEE! You THINK?

Van Neuter: Well done! *Happy*

Bunsen: I thought so.

Van Netuer: It was sarcasm.

Bunsen: Oh, I'm terrible at that.

Van Neuter: Same here.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *pokes luggage with prong of convinient pitch fork*
Female voice: Ow!
Male Voice: Ooph!
Beau: *stares* Oh...

[The Count]

Well... Could be worse, Beaker could be trapped in a confined box with a mean oversized groundhog and ripping lawnmower giving him a bizarre buzzcut.
UD: You've been reading Kermie's Girl again, haven't you?
Um, yes?
UD: Fright. Better go and talk to Claudia now that she's awake.
Yeah... Look after those two clods in the closet over in 11.
UD: Certainly.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (at table, poring over notes for a new assignment) Ask me why I was stupid enough to start covering town meetings.
Scooter: Okay, why were you stupid enough to start covering town meetings?
Erin: (chuckle) Actually, truth be told, the editor palmed this off on me, and it's rapidly turning into a monster.
Scooter: I see...the kind that you'd see on "Beast of the Week?"
Erin: Right on.
Nora: (on phone) Okay, Mrs. Farley, I'll be down to help in a bit...wow, you're kidding...okay, you're not kidding. I'll be down in a bit. (hangs up)
Scooter: What happened?
Nora: Mrs. Farley's husband brought his pet salamanders to the shop...
Erin: And they got loose in the philosophy section again?
Nora: Oh, they got into the copies of Hobbes' "Leviathan" and started ranting about the depravity of humans...wasn't pretty.
Beige: I've got to run - I'm off to a diplomatic meeting down in the Hemming and Hawing Caves.
Storyteller: And I've got ten legends to sort through - one about this crazy Fraggle called Blundig.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: That's fright! *Tackles Eddie* Readin' Ruahnna's amazing stories can get yah that way! Bunsen is inflating Beaker with the air-pumper.

Beaker: MEEEFFMEEEFFFMEEEFF!

Bunsen: Just a few more seconds!

Van Neuter: OH! Edward! I was wondering where you were! I expect that story to be updated soon! *Referring to "Numbers Of The Night* Claudia, you better do that drawing too!

Claudia: Hungryyyy...*A roar sounds from her stomach*

Bunsen, Beaker, and Phil: *Shaking* What was that?

Claudia: I CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE A PET ALIEN IN MY STOMACH WHATSOEVER!

Bunsen: Too much scifi movies. *Pumps Beaker up*

[The Count]

Yes well... As soon as my haunters are drawn up, there might be a start on that once again. *Gets pounced on by Claudia. Oh, um, hi sis. Rully hoping you've gotten some work done. Spooking of which, I have to get that ball rolling meself as well. *Winks at Claudia, she knows the haunter I mention, last one before one I'm proud of gets sent her way also.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: You got it! :) *Helps him up*

Beaker: *touches his overgrown head* D: MEEMEE!

Bunsen: Looks like someone got a little airheaded! Tsstsst...

Beaker: MEE?

Phil: You look a little lightheaded too!

Claudia: Stop it with the puns! *Ties a ribbon to Beaker's leg as he floats in the air*

Bunsen and Phil: Alright...

Beaker: Meeesigh...

[Gloat]

Adam: *walks past Claudia's room, hearing noises and another voice* ooh, a new guy *opens the door to look in* Just as i thought, mad as a sack of potatoes you lot, how do ya handle em Claudia? *smiles*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Smile reaches ear to ear* ADDAAAAMMMM! EEEEEE! *Glomps him* Sadly, I don't! They handle ME! *Shakes head*

Van Neuter: Who's your friend?

Bunsen: That, Phillip, is Adam. Hello there Mr. Adam!

Beaker: *Waves* MEEP!

Claudia: How are those roomies of yours, Adam?

[Gloat]

Adam: A little clumsy at the moment but i think thats the nostalgia kicking in, nice to see a new face, hi Phil *shakes hand* Ever need any test subjects i got just the guys for it, but they can be very excitable, so dont tell them what you're doing *looks to Claudia* It's nice to see ya again, how was the break for ya?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: It was boring. *Smiles cheesily* How was yours?

Phil: Pleasure to meet you. I shall return to my work--alrighty Claudia! I'll need you in a few minutes!

Beaker: *Calculates*

Van: Want to open up some brains with me? Mulch isn't here...so er..I was hoping you'd...?

Bunsen: I'll put our rivalry aside just this once....you do know how much I love to poke at them, don't you?

Van: OH-HO! TOTALLY! It's a mad scientist thing...no one sane would understand that.

Bunsen: Agreed. Beaker, my boy, you may want to scoot away so you won't see the pulsing of a live brain. You faint at the sight of blood.

Beaker: *Gulps and rushes next to Claudia*

Bunsen: Good!

Van: Would you like to have the honor of opening it up?

Bunsen: Oh me? Why, yes, I certainly would, Phillip!

Van: Go ahead and be my guest!

[Beauregard]

Bo: Maybe we should unzip that luggage...
Beau: That might be impolitical.
Bo: ...Unpolite?
Beau: That too.
Bo: Oooo-kay. *reaches to unzip bag*
Voice: Hands off.
Bo: Sorry! *leaps back*
Male Voice: Sorry.
Beau: *blink* Riiiiiight.

[ZootyCutie]

*Janice, Zoot, and I come in the room*

*carrying a broken video tape* Dr. Teeth! Floyd! Animal! Here's your tape of old Beatles concerts! I'll just leave it on the floor. *throws it on the floor*

Janice: Like, look! A note! A note.

Zoot: *reading note* Probably at a barbeque somewhere, with lot's of ladies, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, and Animal.

All Three: *mischeviously* Oh really?

*holding a carton of milk* Dr. Teeth! I'm borrowing this milk for an undisclosed period of time!

Zoot: *holding the DS Lite* Borrowing the DS-type deal!

Janice: *holding Floyd's bass* Takin' the bass!

All Three: *holding the computer, and struggling* The computer! *drops it on our side* Phew!

Let's get his keyboard!

*We go to get it, but Animal's over there, holding onto the computer's keyboard*

Oh! Animal!

Animal: UM...

Janice: Like, we were just doing nothing, with nothing that belongs to Dr. Teeth and Floyd.

Animal: ME NEITHER!

Zoot: Oh, you too, huh? Um, we're going to run away now. Really quickly.

*we run away*

[Beauregard]

Bo: *runs out of room 11 and smacks into the EM guys exiting their own room* There's...talking luggage...in the...bedroom...

--

Beau: *unzips the bag and raises eyebrows* What are you two doing here?
Mildred: *steps carefully out of the luggage* We...well...
George the Janitor: *steps grumpily out of the luggage* It was her fault...
Mildred: George, dahling, don't be that way. We were hitching a ride from North to South or visa versa, and somehow ended up lost in our baggage.
Beau: *eyes widen further* You lost your baggage, or your baggage lost you?
Mildred: Either or...Anyway, our passports, home-insurance, and sense of direction were in our bags...which we lost...when we fell into yours, and so we have no place to stay, unless...
George: In this dump?
Mildred: You can clean it!
George: ...
Beau: ...

--

Bo: *running screaming down the hallway still*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (walking into kitchen and setting a grocery bag down on the counter) Still need to contact two sources, and get quotes on the meeting agenda...(sigh)...anyone home?
Scooter: (coming in through door, carrying a basketball) Well I'm here. How's the story coming along?
Erin: Hi, Scooter. It's going okay...what happened to your jacket? It's got a burn hole in it.
Scooter: Oh...I went to play basketball with some of the others - and Crazy Harry was playing.
Erin: 'Nuff said. (takes jacket and looks it over) But I'll get Storyteller to have a look at it; I think she can fix it.
Nora: (entering through door) The salamanders were still loose. One of them got into the complete works of John Stuart Mill. (holds out her hands, which are covered in paper cuts) And I had a dictionary land on my head.
Erin: Well, sit down, both of you. I'll get some tea going. (pours water into the samovar and starts to heat it up)
(Storyteller and Beige enter)
Beige: I'm telling you, the Cave's Oldest Fraggle has only gotten worse since I left. And the way she's been yelling at the new security Fraggles...it's scary.
Storyteller: Anything get accomplished at the meeting?
Beige: Just a lot of hemming and hawing. That's why they're called the Hemming and Hawing Caves.
Erin: Hey, Storyteller, I've got a repair job for you - Scooter's jacket got a little scorched. (hands Storyteller the jacket)
Storyteller: (takes jacket) Mmm...oh...I see. Well, don't fret, Scooter, this will be an easy fix.
Beige: Hmm, what happened, Scooter, did something from the Fire Caverns get a hold of you?
Scooter: Nope, just Crazy Harry up to his usual tricks.
Nora: So it's been a nutty day all around.
Erin: But in the dorms, if you don't have a nutty day you're not trying hard enough. (samovar whistles) Tea's up.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *finally arrives back at room* Beau, did you dispose of the talking luggage bag?
Beau: Not specifically...

Mildred: *steps from other room* Ahh, hello, nice to meet you. I'm Mildred Huxattor, HMV, SUV, and IMDB. This is my fiance George. We sort of lost our way, somehow, and really need somewhere to board...just for the night.
George: *waggles eyebrows*

[The Count]

Silly Bo... The Electric Mayhem live on the floor above, he's down here in the good ol' basement. Maybe he could help in providing a good detailed descript of his former roommate Bobo the Bear. Should probably drop him a line, or perhaps he'll spot this and come calling. Still has a decent overhang on the lead post though.

Mmm, there's this nice obscure song Kyle found for me, kinda think Erin might like to hear it too since it features Mr. Cloister. Oh well... Off to check on some errands.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Sees a sleeping Beaker and Phil* How long was I asleep?

Bunsen: Long enough.

Claudia: You scared me. How come you're not sleeping?

Bunsen: Oh, well, I was just poking at this brain here. See? It is incredible... The largest brain I've ever seen too.

Claudia: *Sees it* Awesome...*Gently gets off the bed and walks over to pick up the brain* wow...

Bunsen: You aren't frightened at all?

Claudia: No, I love seeing this stuff. My uncle opens dead people for a living and I actually get a peek. I've seen a person's insides...it is very disturbing to most people but not for me. The brain smells...

Bunsen: Of course. *Takes it from her and puts it back in the jar* You've gotten thinner.

Claudia: Yah, I've not been hungry lately. I eat two meals a day. *Smiles*

Bunsen: You're suppossed to eat three times a day.

Claudia: But I eat lots of sweets too.

Bunsen: Oh, atleast you get snacks.

Claudia: I don't starve myself.

Bunsen: *Laughs lightly* I hope not.

Claudia: 119 pounds only. I do not intend to rival Paris Hilton.

Bunsen: Please don't.

Claudia: I'm kind of tall anyway so it's the perfect weight. My weight is unstable--one day it's 120 then it's 119...silly hmm? Only on two numbers.

Bunsen: I see.

Claudia: Want some chocolate milk? 'cuz I'm gonna make some.

Bunsen: Thank you, I most definately would.

Claudia: Alright. *Gets the milk from the fridge*

Bunsen: I can't sleep, funny...

Claudia: It's the coffee you drank earlier. That's kind of good because I do not want to be up alone. Misery loves company...*Smiles cheekily*

Bunsen: Are you implying that you are miserable?

Claudia: No. *Giggles* You are...

Bunsen: Very cute.

Claudia: Yes!

Bunsen: What is your opinion on mind control chips?

Claudia: *Eyes get a little wide* Don't tell me you're to invent those.

Bunsen: I'm a scientist...not a monster.

Claudia: I think it is a useless device that could only bring trouble. Just like the creation of the atom bomb.

Bunsen: I doubt Mr. Einstein would have approved of that.

Claudia: Yah, I know. He did not believe in war and all that jazz. *Warms the milk* It's almost done.

Bunsen: Take your time. *Cleans his glasses*

Claudia: How many times do you have to do that?

Bunsen: It's not my fault that they get dirty.

Claudia: *Laughs* I know.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: ...... The End. So, how'd you guys like the book?
Bean: *shaking, squeezing Elmo tightly*
Elmo: *fell asleep*
Alex: Oh, well. At least I can tell Sam I've brought some culture into your lives.
Bean: Yeah... culture.
Alex: *puts Elmo in his bed* Hey Bean! I heard Link Hogthrob is rooming with Ryan this semester! Wanna go over there with me?
Bean: Sure! I like Gonzo!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Is that Cloister or Closter?
Nora: Is what Cloister or Closter?
Erin: Oh, just responding to what Ed said about an obscure tune someone dug up. And I'll bet it has to do with Richard.
Storyteller: (cuts through a snip of green thread and shakes out Scooter's jacket) Here you go, Scooter, good as new. No one will see the repairs unless they're going over it with a magnifying glass.
Scooter: (takes jacket) Thanks, Storyteller. (promptly puts jacket back on) I heard Bunsen saying something about mind control chips.
Beige: Really? On my last trip to the Rock, I heard Marlon Fraggle saying something about those...
Storyteller: Oh, Marlon's always got some sort of world-domination plan in mind. It's disgusting.
Erin: And Bunsen's always dreaming up some new way to hurt or humiliate his roommates, so what else is new?
Nora: Uh, can we talk about something else? These are the Muppet dorms, not the Ministry of Truth in 1984.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *yawns* I hate physics...
Sam: *loud gasp* *runs into room* What did you say?
Ryan: I said I hate physics.
Sam: How dare you?
Ryan: I didn't know you were a physics officionado, Sam.
Sam: Of course! It is--*stands up straight* the American way!
Ryan: Since when?
Sam: *turns back to Ryan* Everything we've ever done has been physical.
Ryan: ...Was that a joke?
Sam: You can not be serious.
Ryan: No, but you sure can.
Gonzo: *runs into bedroom and hides under covers*
Ryan: *blink* Gonzo? What's going on?
Sam: No doubt something weird and peculiar.
Gonzo: Bean Bunny's at the door!
Ryan: Oh, Alex has come to visit. How nice. *walks out into living room* Hey Alex, Bean! C'mon in!
Link: *looking Bean over* I love your cute, little bunny costume. *turns to Alex* And you *swoons* I, madame, am Captain Link Hogthrob, of the S.S. Swinetrek.
Clifford: That ship ain't even real!
Link: That's what you think. I've crashed it more times than I can count.
Clifford: So... like, what? Three?
Ryan: *shakes head*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Hey Ryan how's it goin? Nice ta meet ya Link! *shakes Links hand* Clifforrrddd what's shakin? Great ta see ya Sam! *gives swift salute* Uh... where's Gonzo?
Bean: Um, Hi!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo... oh, yeah, he's uh... out with Camilla.
Camilla: Brawk bawk?
Ryan: ...He forgot Camilla.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: (nearly falls out of chair in terror) Wait a minute - Bean is living here too?
Storyteller: Did I ever tell you that joke about hasenpfeffer...
Erin: No, Storyteller - the little furball's got ears.
Nora: And to think he's in the presence of Sam the Eagle and Link...scary.
Beige: Well, Sam can't be all that bad, if he believes in moral codes...(pauses, eyes widen) wait a minute, did he say that he likes physics? (collapses in shock on sofa)

[ZootyCutie]

Floyd: You stole my bass and DS!

Dr. Teeth: You stole my milk! What? I like milk.

Floyd: So, why did you do it? Huh?

Um, cause it was funny?

Janice: Like, cause you guys were at that barbeque?

Zoot: Cause butt's twelve by pies?

Zoot's gone crazy.

Animal: ZOOT'S GONE MAD WITH POWER!

No, that's not him. Zoot doesn't even know how to tie his shoes.

Dr. Teeth: Wait, he doesn't?

Yeah. All of his tennis shoes have clothespins holding the laces.

Floyd: I still can't beleive you stole those things.

What? We were going to give them back. In about a week.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: Oh gee, it's too bad that Gonzo's not here....
Alex: So, Link? How doya like it here so far?

[theprawncracker]

Link: Oh, I absolutely love it. Ryan has been so accomodating. Keeping this place messy and down to my standards.
Ryan: Anything for you, Link... anyway, I hate to be a burden, Alex, but I've gotta get some sleep, I've got a big physics test tomorrow. So I'm gonna hit the hay! See you guys tomorrow!

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *hits bale of hay* I don't get it.....
Alex: *gives Bean weird look* No prob Ryan! Good luck on your test! *heads off to bug other people*

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Erin, you always crack me up. I swear LOL!]

Bunsen: Sam likes ph-phy-physics?

Claudia: *Spits out her chocomilk* HECK IS FREEZING OVER!

Phil: WHAT? *Wakes up* THE BIRD LIKES PHYSICS?

Beaker: MEEEMEEEMEEMEE? *Wakes up*

Claudia: O_O LINK IS HITTIN ON ALEX?

Bunsen: Ooo...

Beaker: MEE? *Grumbles*

Claudia: Jealous Beaker? Sorry guys...

Phil: Oh, like that's no problem. I was gonna get get a nightmare anyway.

Bunsen: Oh, Beakie, Mr. Hearthrob wont do anything to Miss Alex.

*They hear Beige collapse on the couch*

Claudia: Erin and the gang heard him too I guess.

Bunsen: It'd come as a shock if they didn't.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Shock? Don't tell me you boys are torturing Claudia again...
Erin: No, different kind of shock. (pause) I'm cracking you up? I'd better lend you my tube of Crazy Glue.
Storyteller: Oooh. (looks at clock) Goodness, look at the time, it's time you young troublemakers were getting ready for bed.
(general chorus of "Oo-o-kay" and "Aw, do we have to?")

(later)

Nora: What's going on?
Erin: I'm brewing some chamomile tea...want some?
Nora: Please.
Erin: (hands her a steaming mug) I'd better take some in for Beige and Scooter - I mean, between finding out Bean lives here and that Sam likes physics...
Nora: I don't think Storyteller will need it - she's already out like a light. (points to hut, from which emanates soft snoring)

(Nora disappears to her room with her tea - Erin brings some tea to Scooter and Beige before pouring a fourth mug for herself and taking it to her room.)

[Erine81981]

Kim: If'n y'all are gonna sing Cabin Fever, I'm gonna scream.

Rizzo: (entering room 21 with a big belly) Boy, the action here is even better then soap operas.
Pepe: Ju watch soap operas? But doesn't it get wet?
Rizzo: Wet, what do you mean? (does a double take as he realizes) Oh, you're really a comedian aren't you?
Gererd: (entering from other room) Say Pepe, have those pizzas gotten here yet? (spots Rizzo's belly and sighs) Never mind.

Beth: Breakfast?
Red: Well if you're going to get food I'll get up too
Mokey: Gee, living with Cookie Monster last semester has rubbed off on you!
Red: Very funny
Beth: Come on guys, let's go to Everybody Eats

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Wow, I had a dream that Kyle and all of us began singing. The last thing I remember was having insisted that Erin was funny and a singing routine that I've never prepared for but somehow I knew it...

Bunsen: It did happen, you know. You were hopping around and throwing yourself everywhere.

Claudia: I was? O_o

Bunsen: Mhmmm. *Picks up the cups from last night*

Phil: Nynyanya...*Snores*

Beaker: *Rubs eyes* Mee..mee?

Claudia: Hey Beakie...*Sits next to him and ruffles his hair*

Bunsen: He always did have such fluffy hair.

Beaker: Mff...*snugs the pillow*

Claudia: Beakie..come on wake up.

Bunsen: Up you go! *Chuckles as he pulls the blanket off him which sends him flying off the bed*

Beaker: MEEEEEEEEEEEE! *Smacks against the wall*

Claudia: BEAAAKKKEERRR! *Catches him*

Beaker: Meesheesh!

Claudia: *Giggles* It's ok...Bunnie did not mean to.

Bunsen: Sorry Beaker. *Clears throat*

Phil: I'm trying to get some sleep...mommy don't make me eat the cow today...

The three: *Cringe*

[Beauregard]

Beau: *dings the front desk* Hello, I think Ed wanted to speak to be about Bobo?
Bo: Beau?
Beau: Erm, yes?
Bo: Did you say that Mildred and George could stay?
Beau: Sort of.
Mildred: *runs over* Oh Beau, Beau, thank you for saying we could stay.
George: What she said.
Bo: Sort of? *cocks eyebrow*

[The Count]

Yeah... Just send it to me via PM. *Closes door and goes back to breakfast.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: You're a little crazy, you know that?
Alex: Well, someone in this room has to be!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Erin is toasting a bagel, Scooter is at the table having a bowl of cereal, Nora is hunting for her bookbag and Beige is doing his morning yoga.)

Storyteller: (entering) All right, you four, what's this I hear about you sneaking out at night and doing a big musical number?
(all pause)
Nora: So it wasn't a dream.
Storyteller: I got up in the middle of the night for a drink of water, and I find - doors open, beds empty and mugs of chamomile tea untouched.
Erin: (smearing cream cheese on her bagel) Yes, Storyteller, it's true. Kyle came knocking on the door and asked if we wanted to join in a big all-dorms musical number.
Storyteller: But why wasn't I informed? I do a mean bossa nova.
Beige: (shifting asanas) But Storyteller, you were there - sleepwalking, I think. You walked in with a lampshade on your head...
Scooter: Yeah, and you tried to flirt with Gillis, and then you got up and sang "How High the Moon."
Storyteller: (wincing) I was hoping that was all a dream.
Scooter: It wasn't - we've got the photos to prove it.
Beige: But you know, what happens in the dorms stays in the dorms.
Erin: Not really the exact phrase, but it'll work. It's cool, Storyteller.
Nora: Storyteller, I think you need to relax a little more - I mean, you're our unofficial den mother and all that, but we're all entitled to cut loose a bit, aren't we?

[The Count]

... Oh, so Storyteller does a mean basanova.
The dance of love?
*Old song reference.
And who's this "loose" and why does it need cutting?
UD: *Shakes head*, you've been hanging out with the weirdo have you?
Which one?

[TogetherAgain]

<meanwhile, still on the roof>
Robin: <tugs at book in Lisa's hands> Come ON, Lisa, everybody moved in DAYS ago!
Rowlf: Lisa, just put the book down...
Lisa: But but but the water genie and the hoopoe and the- GAH I can't put it down NOW! Do you KNOW what just HAPPENED?
Chef: De clockedy tick-tick de elfie twelve?
Lisa: ...<blink>... Oh, SHOOT I gotta get to class! See ya guys!
Robin: <sigh> And we're STILL not moved in...

[BEAR]

(Cookie Monster walks into the Dorm House with a backpack on)

Cookie: *sniffs* Mmm...breakfast already on. Year off to good start! (he goes down to room 1 and knocks on the door smelling the delicious food inside) Hello? Anybody home?

(Meanwhile in suite 29...)
Bryan: (asleep in bed) Zzzzzz...
Big Bird: (walks in) Bryan? Bryan?
Bryan: (wakes up) Wha? I'm up! I'm up! (sees the Bird's big fluffy yellow head staring at him) Big Bird, what's up?
Big Bird: It's Thursday and the first day of Birdkateers this year.
Bry: Oh cool. Have fun...(rolls over)
Big Bird: Aren't you going to help make the snacks like you said?
Bryan: Well...can't you ask Bert or Ernie to help? I'm exhausted...
Big Bird: But they went out to the movies. Besides, you promised to help make snacks.
Bryan: Oh, I did promise, huh?
Big Bird: You can't just break a promise.
Bryan: You're right, Big Bird. I'm sorry. We'll get started right now.
Big Bird: Oh good! Thank you!

[Gloat]

Adam: Well guys, you did a nice job of the room there, it almost looks half as good as last years!

*room is basically the same as last years, the room circled with multicoloured hippy style bean bags, the room purple with 'Boppity and Gloat' shapes patterned around. There is a dining table in the middle big enough for 6 people, a coffee machine (extra settings) in a corner. The ceiling is painted black, but there is a bright light in the middle to brighten the place up a bit, posters also line the wall and ceiling, mostly of Marillion and Jimmy eat world, at one corner is a sort of playhouse, with a slide and maze like thing, but instead of nice colours, its black and purple like the room*

Adam: What? I didnt agree on a playhouse, how much did that cost?

Boppity: We found it

Adam: Where?

Boppity: Some house

Adam: ¬¬ Why would you need that though?

Gloat: It's fun and suits the room perfectly

Adam: If you say so

Boppity: Plus it would keep little guests entertained

Adam: You got a point, entertain yourselves

Boppity and Gloat: Yes sir!

[BEAR]

Cookie: (still knocking on Ed's door) Hmm...why no one answer? Me know! Me go ask Beth where me s'posed to go. Me room with her last year. She know what to do! Yeah yeah! (walks down the hall and knocks on room 3's door) Beth! It me, Cookie Monster!

[Beakerfan]

Bean: Hey Elmo! I heard that Robin is up on the roof! Want to go see?
Elmo: Oh, Elmo would looove to go see Robin!
Bean: Okay! *gets his hiking gear* There are alot of stairs....
Alex: I need craziness! I think I'll go insane! *runs into the hall and starts pounding on Oscar's can*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: The dorms have taken yet again another sane person into it's cold and unforgiving grasp. Jot Alex down, Beaker.

Beaker: MMEEEENNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Bunsen: Yes, I'm afraid there is nothing more we can do. The insane can never be cured once claimed by insanity. Science itself won't salvage her.

Claudia: Is it serious, Dr. Honeydew? *Sobs into her handkercheif*

Bunsen: I'm afraid so.

Beaker: MEEEENNNNNOOOOOOO!

Van Neuter: I lost my needles!

Beaker: MEEENNNNNOOOO!

[The Count]

Arriving at Room #1, inserting key to unlock the door. Hey guys, I'm home.
UD: About time, I have fanfics to check...
Count: And I have bats to count.

*Notices a furry, fuzzy blue guy asleep in front of Room #3's door. Cookie Monster, that you buddy? Sorry, we weren't home earlier. Come on, I think I know where you're living at. *Takes Cookie upstairs by means of the elevator over to the second floor's common room, gives him a chocolate chip cookie hidden up my sleeve, hugs the big blue lug and leaves him with Big Bird at the Birdketeer meeting.

[Beakerfan]

*Bean and Elmo finally get to the roof*
Bean: *pant pant* Robin? *pant pant* Are you up here?
Elmo: Helllooooo! Is anybody here?

Alex: *down in room 24* I really need some more excitement up here. Hmmm.... I think I'll have to talk to Ed about something.

[Beauregard]

Yeah... Just send it to me via PM. *Closes door and goes back to breakfast.
Bo: I did actually miss what it was exactly that you wanted? Something about Bobo? He's not a roommate at our place anymore.

[The Count]

Well... If you PM'ed... But what I need is a good description of what the guy looks like in his normal guise, and his height compared to other Muppets. Planning on bringing him into the castle's cast, not sure when though.

Talk to you later Bo-bo-dee-o-doooooo!

[Beauregard]

Bo: oooh! Right, sorry, I was confused.
Beau: That's in my job discription.
Mildred: You have a job?
Beau: *mumbles*

[Erine81981]

Wonder what to have for dinner. Anyone have any good ideas?

Herry: Pizza?

Murray: Spaghetti and meatballs?

Bruce: I kind of like your "Chicken Al King."

Grover: I would take whatever well.....maybe a peanut butter sandwich?

That sounds simple. Anyone else want one?

Murray: I'll take one. Can you cut the crust off?

Sure. *starts making two peanut sandwiches*

Bruce: I wouldn't mind a bacon and egg burrito.

Herry: I can make that Kyle. You show me last year.

Yep. You still remembered. That's good. Make me one please.

Herry: Ok. *gets the skillet out* Eggs. Bacon. *rips open the package of bacon*

*brings the sandwiches to Grover and Murray* Here you go guys.

Murray: Thanks. *bites into it* Mmmmmm *mouthful* Tis is goood.

Grover: Thanks Kyle.

Welcome. Do you need any help Herry?

Herry: Uh sure. Get me the bread toasted.

Ok.

[BeakerSqueedom]

*They get out of the car*

Bunsen:

*Hiccup*
I am here and now because of you
You are the reason I do what I do
Like a phantom when you call me I’ll be there
Any time that I’m around you shouldn’t fear
Because of you,
That’s what I do
Come on, Come on
Because of you
I’m a true Believer.

Claudia:

*Laughs giddily*
I’m a true believer
I’m with you through the night
You’re my inspiration in life
I’m a true believer
So don’t give up the fight
You’re my inspiration in life

Beaker:
*Hiccup*

Meeeeeeeeeee!

Van Neuter:
*Giggle*

Give me, Give me everything you got
You and I can take it to the top
Like the scientists we are we can save the day
Let the music play cause someone’s are on way
Because of you (cause of yoooou)
That’s what I do (what I do)
Come on, Come on
Because of you
(I’m a true believer)

Claudia:

*Hiccup, giggle*

I’m a true believer
I’m with you through the night
You’re my inspiration in life
I’m a true believer
So don’t give up the fight
You’re my inspiration in life

I’m a true believer
I’m with you through the night
You’re my inspiration in life!


Bunsen:

I think we took too many cups of that fizzy soda. Oh, imagine the carbohydrates we're to have in our body.

*Dances with Claudia*

Van Neuter:

Don't get me started! *Giggles*

I'd love to, Beakie!

*Hiccups*

That soda will go to your thighs!

Beaker:

*Dances with Van Neuter through extreme euphoria*

Van Neuter:

You have such lovely eyes...

Beaker:

Mee? Mee!

Claudia:

He does! HEEHEEE!

Bunsen:

Agreed...more soda...

Claudia:

YESSSSS!

*They get into their room*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *standing against the wall in the hallway, staring at the scientific foursome* What was that? *smells something coming from a few doors down* WOW! What is that? *follows the smell* *walks into Kyle's door* OOF!

[Erine81981]

Grover: What was that?

Herry: What?

Grover: A sound from outside the door. *goes to the door* Hello? *looks down* Hey it's Alex. Are you ok?

Herry: What happened?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Hi Herry, Grover, and Kyle! WHHEEE-EEE *Trips over Alex* EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! *Sprawled on the floor*

Bunsen: *Trips over Claudia* Oh dear!

Beaker: *Laughs and points* Meeee!

Bunsen: *Gets on his feet and helps Claudia up*

Claudia: Alex, you shouldn't lay on the floor like that...silly!

Beaker: *Looks at Claudia in disbelief* *Helps Alex up*

[Erine81981]

*waves to Claudia from the couch* Hey Claudia.

Herry: Hey girl. What's up. *does a hand thing with Claudia*

Grover: Hey Claudia, Bunsan and Beaker.

Herry: *helps Bunsan with Alex* There you go.

*gets up from the couch* What's going on girls and guys?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Nothing, *hiccup* just drinkin' our hearts out with Coca-Cola.

Bunsen: The calories...oh well. I never was capable of gaining weight.

Beaker: Meep, meeemeeemeeemeeemeeemee!
meeemeeemeeemeeemeemwomoomeeee!

Bunsen: Exactly.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Meanwhile, as the gang in room 7 is listening to the scientists' hubbub...

Erin: (turning on stereo) Paging Thomas Dolby, Dr. Dolby to the Psych Unit...

(stereo starts to play "She Blinded Me With Science," and everyone starts to sing along - but with lyrics modified here and there - and all dance, robot-like, around the common room)

Scooter:
It's poetry in motion,
She turns her tender eyes to me,
It's deep as any ocean,
The elements in harmony,
But she blinded me with science...

Beige:
She blinded me - with science!

Storyteller:
And failed you in biology...

Erin:
When I'm dancing next to him...

Nora:
Blinded me with science, science...

Beige:
Science!

Erin:
I can smell the chemicals!

Nora:
Blinded me with science, science...

Beige:
Science!

Scooter:
Mmm - but it's poetry in motion,
And when she turns her eyes to me,
It's deep as any ocean,
As sweet as any harmony,
But she blinded me with science...

Beige:
She blinded me - with science!

Storyteller:
And failed you in geometry...

Erin:
When I'm dancing close to him...

Nora:
Blinded me with science, science...

Beige:
Science!

Erin:
I can hear machinery!

Nora:
Blinded me with science, science...

Beige:
Science!

Scooter:
It's poetry in motion...

All:
And we're all acting crazily...

Scooter:
The spheres are in commotion,
The elements in harmony,
But she blinded me with science...

Beige:
She blinded me - with science!

Storyteller:
And hit you with technology...

Beige:
Good heavens, Storyteller, you're beautiful!

Scooter:
I don't believe it! She's done it again!
She's tidied up and I can't find anything!

Erin:
All my tunes and wires, and careful notes!
And antiquated notions...

Scooter:
But it's poetry in motion,
When she turned her eyes to me,
It's deep as any ocean,
The elements in harmony,
But she blinded me with science...

All:
They blinded us - with science!

(song ends with last little bit of synth)

Erin: (chuckle) Well done, guys. What do you want to do next time, Hyperactive or Europa? :) ;)

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Both ;)]

Van Neuter: *Happens to hear them as he strolls through the hall* Ohhhh, that is the exact song I sang when I met...the beautiful Composta Heap!

*Dances to their fabulous singing*

Science science!

hmmhhmm!

I miss my honeybunch!

*Dances*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *enters Room #19, quietly fuming*
Gillis: So... how was the game?
Kim: You know, Ryan Dempster is a great closing pitcher...
Gillis: Oh?
Kim: ...for the other team.
Tosh: Uh-oh.
Kim: We were ahead! We were ahead by two runs! And Pienella had to choose Ryan "Let's throw the other team a bone" Dempster to pitch in the ninth inning.
Gillis: What happened?
Kim: Not only did the Dodgers manage to get a three run homer off of Dempster, but they had another RBI shortly after that, because nearly all of the Cubs infield seemed to be fumbling the ball. And I'm fairly sure the Cardinals won their game today, which means the Cubs are tied for first if not behind them.
Boober: If I were to say "I told you so", would I get smacked?
Kim: I would be sorely tempted, yes.
Boober: Gotcha.

-Kim

[Erine81981]

*watches as Claudia, Bunsan and Beaker dance off drinking Coca-Cola* Them three are just plain silly.

Herry: Yep. But i like'em that way.

Me too. *starts acting silly by playing a tune on the couch*

Bruce: I know that song. *starts banging along to the beat*

Grover: *grabs his banjo and starts plucking along*

They all start to play "Bonanza Ska" (a little diddy)

Herry: *starts drumming to the beat* This is fun!

I know. *keeps beating out the rythm*

Murray: *comes in with a trumpet playing the same tune*

They keep going till the song ends with a Me and Bruce falling down on the floor giggling like little school girls

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Picks Bunsen up*

Bunsen: Claudia, I was in the middle of a very important discovery!

Claudia: *Looks disturbed*

Bunsen: Is there a problem that I find myself to be unaware of...?

Claudia: I learned something terrible. So terrible I can't say.

Bunsen: You don't need to say it if you do not wish to.

Claudia: I know. *Huggles tightly*

Bunsen: Mmm...I am sorry if I strike you as rude but um...I should like to feel the floor beneath my shoes rather than be left hanging this way--I get queasy!

Claudia: *Wails*

Bunsen: Please, don't you cry! *Tries to reach for his handkerchief*

Claudia: Thanks, Bunnie. *Gets it by dropping Bunsen and blows in it*

Bunsen: OOF! My word!

Beaker: MEEP! *Laughs*

Bunsen: *Pats the ground in search of his glasses*

Claudia: An-an-and I like jus-t-t-t...

Bunsen: I know you are emotionally unstable at this moment but I cannot pay any attention to you if I can't see!

Claudia: *Eyes narrow* Hmph. *Picks him up and stuffs him in the time machine* *Turns the destination to 1930* Say hi to Charles for me! *Cackles*

Bunsen: Let me out this instant!

Dr. Van Neuter: Bye, send me a post card!

Beaker: *Gasp*

*A glow emanates from the machine*

Claudia: *Cackles once more*

[TogetherAgain]

Robin: Okay!
Chef: Shmergle?
Rowlf: We still haven't moved back in.
Chef: Noopin da koordle.
Robin: Lisa's been busy.
Rowlf: That excuse can only last us so long. If she won't move us in, we'll have to move in for her!

[Gloat]

*Adam and Gloat are in the common room, playing 'Pass the Pig'*

Adam: *throws the pigs* Oh good, another 50 points i think *writing down scores*

Gloat: When can i win?

Adam: Whenever you get a good throw, and i dont have to deduct points off you for eating the pieces *checks scores* ha! I win! I have 520 points, 500 being the target, and you have, lets see.... negative 12,340,860

Gloat: Aww

Adam: Don't worry Gloat, you were sooo close

Gloat: *Grabs and eats the pieces*

Adam: .... I've always wanted to ask Gloat, do you take pleasure in being an idiot?

Gloat: *Blinks* Can we watch a film?

Adam: All we got is Robin Hood: Men in tights, its funny, and at least it will take my mind off you

[BeakerSqueedom]

Van Neuter: *Sneers at the machine*

Beaker: *Gasps at Claudia's erratic behavior*

Claudia: *Hums happily to herself*

---

(1930)

Bunsen: She has gone utterly mad!

Charlie Chaplin: Strange man you are, are you a fan?

Bunsen: I don't even know you, sir!

Charlie Chaplin: *Looks a little offended* Is it because I've not the funny mustache and bowler hat?

Bunsen: *Puts his hand to his mouth in shock*

---

Beaker: Mee...*Touches the machine gently*

Dr. Van Neuter: I'd like the clear nail polish...

Claudia: Alright!

[BEAR]

Bryan: Hey, Cookie Monster! Welcome to our lovely suite.
Cookie: Thank you.
Bryan: You're staying with us this year. Sorry if there was any confusion. Is there any way I can make it up to ya?
Cookie: You got cookies?
Bryan: Just bought some.
Cookie: All is forgiven!
All: *laughing*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *finally finds her way back to room 24* Bean? Elmo? Are you guys here?
Elmo: Oh, hello goosie! Elmo and Bean got back a looooong time ago. We did not find Robin.
Bean: Yeah. But I think they're moved in now, we can go see them later.
Alex: Ok! Have fun!
*phone rings*
Bean: Hello? Oh, yeah. Here ya go! *hands phone to Alex* He says he's our new roomie?
Alex: OH! *grabs phone* Hello? Hey Sweetums! Yeah, room 24. No, just Bean and Elmo. I'm sure you guys will get along great! You'll be here this afternoon? Great! See you then!
Bean: Was that who I think it was?
Alex: Yep! Ok, I'mma gonna go find some people to bug until he gets here.

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *pokes his eyes out of his trashcan* Wonder who can bug today? *spots Alex* There's a sucker. *opens trashlid all the way* *clears throat* Hey there short dim and cute. Would you like to take a look at Fluffy's new trick?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: No way! *walks over to Oscar* *makes face at him*

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *looks at Alex confused* Why are you making those faces at me? I didn't ask you to that. I asked would you like to see Fluffy's new trick? *sees she still making faces* Stop that! Would you stop? Stop it! *groans*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: I'll be back! I miss Bunnie. I was just grumpy when I did that.

Beaker: Meep!

Dr. Van Neuter: Mood swing?

Claudia: Something like that! *Takes her control and marks the exact time as Bunsen's* *Disappears*

Beaker: *Shakes head*

---

(1930)

Bunsen: Oh, so those rumors were actually false?

Charlie Chaplin: Indeed, I simply divorced her because she was just too clingy!

Bunsen: Women like that do tend to serve as a tiny burden but it is always kind to occasionally spare some affection. *Drinks some tea*

Charlie Chaplin: Too true, yet some cannot see that I am a busy man!

Bunsen: To go off topic...contrary to some of your pictures--you look rather youthful. I never knew you had blue eyes but then again it is difficult to see exactly the color when your primitive cameras only do grayscale or sepia.

Charlie Chaplin: Primitive?

Bunsen: Do ignore me. I say the most silliest things at times. Pay no mind to my words. I am only a raving lunatic. *Jokes lightly with a chuckle while trying to cover up future happenings*

Charlie Chaplin: We're all mad in some way. *Laughs*

Bunsen: So, how is Mr. Einstein?

Charlie Chaplin: Pardon?

Bunsen: Oops!

Claudia: Hey, Babe! Time to get back to 2007! *Gasps at his guest*

Bunsen: Claudia, you've escaped the loony bin! *Creates a lie* How many times must I scold you for that...

Claudia: Um what are you talking about? *Tries to save herself from embarrasment* You are confusing Gloria! You have terrible memory! *giggles nervously* Oh oh! Did I say 2007? I meant...the 2007 event! ummm...where we sell over 2,000 stuff! *Smacks forehead*

---

Bunsen: *Arrives back to the room*

Dr. Van Neuter: Where's Claudia?

Bunsen: *Huffs* Doing what she does best!

---

(1930)

Claudia: So, babe...you're divorced eh?

Charlie Chaplin: *Looks to the camera* Oh dear.

*Audience laugh*

---

Bunsen: *Presses a button on the machine and sends Claudia back into the room* Had fun?

Claudia: *Falls on her face* WHHHHHHHYYYYYY? I GOT HIM HOOKED!
*SOB*

Bunsen: He was too old for you anyway. Tssttssstt!

Beaker: *Shakes head*

Dr. Van Neuter: EW! You were hitting on him?

Claudia: What's it to you? I'm just gonna lay here and regret having been born in 1990. *Sob*

Bunsen: *Pats* There there.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (hammering away at computer keyboard) (singing) I make my living off the evening news...just give me something, something I can use...
Scooter: (on the sofa, playing guitar) So, what's going on?
Erin: I'm still working on my article.
Nora: (reading War of the Worlds in a nearby armchair) Are they tearing each other's arms off on that council?
Scooter: Erin, I thought you said covering politics gave you heartburn.
Erin: It does - note the bottle of antacids I'm keeping at my side.
Beige: But how can politics be that bad? It's all a game in Fraggle Cave.
Storyteller: (rattling around in kitchen) Clearly, Beige, you don't know how silly creatures do politics. (takes out some ingredients) I'm going to be making a grape cake - how's that with everyone?

[Gloat]

Adam: *comes into Claudia's door* Hey guys, you havent seen 2 monsters running around with a shovels and a pack of CDs have ya? *sees whats happening* uh... should i come back later?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *stops making faces* Oh, allright! FINE! What's Fluffy's new trick?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Sobs loudly*

Bunsen: Oh, nothing the matter here! I've been away so I really do not know of any monsters running about with shovels and whazzits.

Beaker: *Points right* Meemeeemeeememeeeemeee!

[Gloat]

Adam: What did you do to Claudia? *walks in* Or was it my two? cos it it was...! *shakes fist*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: No, I just lost a date with Charlie Chaplin. *Clings to Adam*

Bunsen: Ignore her. I'll help you search!

[Gloat]

Adam: Nah, it's alright Bunsen, they're probably just outside chasing parked cars, but remember to keep an eye out, they bite, which in turn you can blame me for, i need to buy a whip or something *pats Claudia on the back* There there, im sure you'll meet someone... who's still alive, and with a better hat sense *smiles*

[Erine81981]

Alex: *stops making faces* Oh, allright! FINE! What's Fluffy's new trick?
Oscar: *calls down to Fluffy* Alright down there. If you want i'll let you watch. So let me get down in my can and you can look down when she does it. *steps down the stairs into his trash can* *from in the trash can* Alright Fluffy. You all set? Good. Show Alex your new trick.

Fluffy runs and jumps up out of the trash can. She then falls back down into the trash can and into the pool which makes a hugs splash which covers Alex in water.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Blegh...*Dies*

Bunsen: *Drags her* Oh, alrighty Adam! If you need any assistance on anything then yoouuu just--egh--come--egh--this way--egh--yes. *Pants* You are awfully heavy Claudia.

Claudia: Meh..

[Gloat]

Adam: Come on Bunsen? where's your strength? *lifts Claudia* Where do you want her? *smiles*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: My.Life. Is. Over.

Bunsen: On the clinical bed for brain surgery!

Claudia: O_O I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE!

Bunsen: Good! I knew that would work.

Claudia: *Pokes Adam's stomach before hopping off*

Bunsen: Well, I'm not exactly the tallest tree in the room, Adam. Tsstsst so my strength is limited.

Dr. Van Neuter: Brain surgery? Anyone say brain surgery? Come here sweetie!

Claudia: AHHHHH! *Runs out*

Bunsen: I think I see Gloat and Bobbity right now. *Points out the window* They are hanging on our open window. Hello boys!

[Gloat]

Boppity and Gloat: *hanging off the windowsill* Hi!

Adam: *opens the window and grabs them both by the legs, hoisting them into the room* Phil, i got some subjects for ya, they've been very naughty *drops them on a table* where are my CDs and my shovel?

Boppity and Gloat: .....

Adam: Phil? Bunsen? Can you try to get some answers outta these guys? I'm goin to bed *walks out the door, then pops head back round* they can sleep on the floor or outside our dorm *walks back*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter: Thank you for contributing your brain for the sake of Science. We promise you that this will be worth your while.

Bunsen: If they live through it.

Beaker: *Gasps*

Claudia: Awwww! GLOAT AND BOBBITY! *Huggles them* Don't listen to those meanies! AWWWWWW! *Snugs*

Bunsen: Her affectionate self is kicking in. I suggest we all run before she whips out the hug of doom.

Beaker: MEEEEEPPPPP!

Dr. Van Neuter: Got that right!

*All three run*

[The Count]

*Gets back home... *Glances through the mail call and is excited that Claudia is sooooo close to getting a special surprise. Only five more posts before she can be rewarded though.

Ah, I'm somewhat happier today. Got rid of a few weights, no classes tomorrow morning... Might even finally get the party for the dorms anniversary started, possibly start fielding dorm robes ideas again.
Yes, a good weekend indeed.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Surprise? *Holds the two monsters in her embrace* SURPRISE FOR MEEEEE?*Giggle*

--

(In Hiding)

Bunsen: *Breathing sharply* Is-s-s she...not in hug mode?

Dr. Van Neuter: Calculating the happy meter--she is on overload. *Machine explodes*

Beaker: Mee?

Bunsen: Yes, Adam must run or he'll die from her huggles and snugs. She has injured approxtimatley over 1,000 people with her bone crushing hugs.

Dr. Van Neuter: What a record!

Bunsen: Everyone must be shooed out of the dorms or she'll...oh! She'll crush everyone with love!

Dr. Van Neuter: A monster!

Beaker: MEEP! *Screams*

Bunsen: *Covers Beaker's mouth* She can smell fear...She can sense our presence!

Dr. Van Neuter: *Shaking*

[The Count]

Weeeeeee! She's there already!

*Bats drop off four little white boxes at Roo #22's door. Inside, there are four Kermit-green Muppet Central Senior Member badges in the shape of Kermit The Frog's head and collar. Upon the collars of each, there is the name of their owner in silver lettering, one for Claudia and one for her roommates' three.
Enjoy and welcome to the SM club cyber-sis!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *soaking wet from Fluffy's trick* That was a rotten trick Oscar! Oh, and by the way? I left a present for you out here! *sets down a small bomb and runs back to her room, plugging her ears on the way*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter: Oh! A box! Go get it Beaker!

Beaker: Meeeee?

Bunsen: Yes you, Claudia is too busy huggling Gloat and Bobbity to the next lifetime.

Beaker: Meeecrush!

Bunsen: It is a risk I am willing to take. Go on, you have us as back up if she hops out of that door.

Beaker: *Shaking* *Walks slowly towards the boxes and picks one up*

Bunsen and Neuter: *Peers from their hiding place*

Beaker: *Opens it* *Quietly gasps* Meeee? *Pins it on his lab coat pocket*

Dr. Van Neuter: Oh! We've badges? I seem to be up high on the scale according to our broken meter! *Looks to his box*

Bunsen: Oooo! I'd like to see mine. *Goes his box*

*They all open it up*

Claudia: Huh? *Puts the monsters down* A box?

Bunsen: Indeed so! Go ahead and have a peek!

Claudia: Okay...*Looks at it cautiously*

Bunsen: Go on...

Claudia: How do I know if this is not so-

Dr. Van Neuter: You just gonna stare at it? Or are you gonna open it? Tch! Pllllleeeaasse.

Bunsen: Agreed.

Claudia: Ok ok! *Opens it* Oh.My. GOSSSSSHHHHHHHH! WHOOHOOOO! I AM A-A-A.....YYYYAAAAAAAYYYYY! *Pins it to her shirt* Oh! I am...sooo...

Bunsen: Honored?

Beaker: Meee?

Dr. Van Neuter: Sexy?

*They all stare at him*

I've been hangin' around with the prawn too much.

Bunsen: Oh.

Claudia: Honored, yes, honored!

Bunsen: Oh good!

Dr. Van Neuter: Greattt!

Beaker: Mwomee!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (tapping a few more computer keys and stretching arms over head) Congratulations, Claudia, and welcome to the gleefully insane ranks of senior membership. (pats her own badge, a pair of silver Scooter glasses)
Beige: (perched on table, watching Erin type) How's the story coming along?
Erin: It's done and filed.
Beige: What's it about, a group of Fraggles arguing over which jokes are funny and which aren't?
Erin: I wish - instead it's about a group of silly creatures arguing over how to make the rules.
Scooter: Hey, did you guys hear? Madeleine L'Engle just died.
Erin: The author of "A Wrinkle in Time?" Oh, dear...
Nora: (sits up nervously) I loved that book...
Scooter: Yeah, me too...but she was 88, she had a good run.
Erin: It's funny - there's a reading of banned books coming up sometime in the next few months, and I'm thinking about reading a few snippets from "A Wrinkle in Time."
Scooter: Then it'll be a tribute as well as a reading.
Nora: Now why on Earth would that book be banned? I can't see anything wrong with it.
Erin: (shrugs) It's 'cause of the whims of a few uptight parents and the occasional wigged-out teacher. But being a reporter and an avid bookworm, I'm a tad biased.
Beige: Banning books - we never did that in Fraggle Cave. Sure, we used to write people up for saying "whoopee," and lock the Rock Fraggles up in cages for a bit just for grins, but banning books - no.
Storyteller: Oh, politics, politics. (pours grape-laden cake batter into a pan and sets it into the oven) The cake will be done in an hour, everyone.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Thanks Erin! *Smiles*

Bunsen: I'm ecstatic! So ecstatic...I-I-I I would not know how to express it but-t-t...whatever! You smarties know exactly what I'm trying to say.

Beaker: Meee!

Dr. Van Neuter: Totally.

[The Count]

Ooh... That reminds me... Song on it's way Erin, I hope.

And as a note, all roomies of MC Senior Members are also Seniors by default, getting their own silver-lettered named Kermit The Frog badges.
Just a bit of updating for the new Muppets joining us this year.

[Beakerfan]

Meanwhile, amid all the insantiy, a rather large and frightening creature enters the entrance of the dorms.....
Sweetums: Hello? Is anybody here? *sets one giant box down and rings the bell*
Alex: *hears a loud THUD! coming from downstairs* Boys quick! Clean up your mess!
Bean: *coloring pictures with Elmo* Wh-what was that Alex?
Alex: It's your new roomie! Now come on! Clean up those crayons!
Elmo: Elmo is excited, but a little scared to meet this new friend. Are you excited to meet this new friend, Dorothy?
Dorothy: *bubbles*

[BEAR]

Alex: *soaking wet from Fluffy's trick* That was a rotten trick Oscar! Oh, and by the way? I left a present for you out here! *sets down a small bomb and runs back to her room, plugging her ears on the way*

Ernie: (sees the bomb by Oscar's can) Hmm...what's this? Looks like a bowling ball. Why would someone leave this here. I didn't think Oscar liked bowling. (sees Alex) Oh, hi there. Maybe you'd like this. (hands the bomb back to her) Bye bye!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Gasp* MEEEEEEEEEEE! *Throws himself to catch the bomb by snatching it out of her hands*

Claudia: What?

Bunsen: Hmm?

*Bomb explodes*

Claudia:
BEAAAKKKKEEEERRRRRRRRRR!
*Falls to the ground*

Bunsen:
Oh, nothing you haven't gone through before!
*Lands on his bottom*

Claudia:
Smells like...

Bunsen:
toast...

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *is handed bomb* Ernie! Wait! Dont- *bomb explodes* Never mind.....
*the elevator opens, and a slightly squished Sweetums walks out*
Sweetums: Whoa! Nobody told me Crazy Harry lived here!
Alex: *coughs* No, not Crazy Harry. Crazy Al.
Sweetums: Crazy Harry has a brother?
Alex: Not really.... come on! I'll show ya around!
EDIT:
Alex: *suddenly realizes Beaker had snatched the bomb out of her hands* BEAKERRRRRRR! *holds the toasted Beaker in her arms* Sweetums, would you help me take him back to Claudia? She needs to know what happened.
Sweetums: Sure! *sets his box down and carries Beaker and Alex back to Claudia's room*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Shaking and looking blacker than coal* Me-mee-meee-meeee *Looks tramautized*

Bunsen: Tsstsss

Claudia: *Steps on his foot*

Bunsen: OOH!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Sorry about that guys. That didn't go the way I planned it......
Sweetums: *sets Beaker and Alex down*
Alex: Thank you Sweetums! Oh! Sweetums, this is Claudia, Dr. Phil Van Neuter, and I know you've already met Dr. Honeydew and Beaker
Sweetums: Hi guys!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Hey Sweetums! OOOOO! *Hugs the big lug* Welcome to the dorms!

Bunsen: Hello there, Sweetums.

Beaker: *waves and coughs out black smoke*

Dr. Van Neuter: Hiya!

Claudia: I'll leave y'all alone. Sweetums, enjoy your stay!

*They go to their room*

[BEAR]

Bryan: (Gives Bernice a letter to send to Ed) Thank you, Bernice. You know, this carrier pigeon thing is quite handy. So, Cookie Monster, did you get everything unpacked and settled.
Cookie: Yeah. Me all moved in.
Bert: Hey! (comes out of his bedroom) Who put their stuff in my room?
Cookie: Oops.
Bryan: Uh oh. No, Cookie. That's Bert and Ernie's room. You're sharing this room right here with me. The one on the right.
Cookie: Oh, me so sorry. Me have that stuff moved right away. (goes to move his things)
Bert: Thank you. Oh, Cookie! There are cookie crumbs all over my bed!
Cookie: Me not do that.
Bert: (Skeptical) You didn't do that?
Ernie: Actually, that was me, Bert.
Bert: You?
Ernie: Uh huh. You know how you always tell me never to eat cookies in my bed?
Bert: Yeah...?
Ernie: Well, I didn't eat cookies in my bed. I ate them in your bed. Khekhekhekhekhe! (pats Bert on the back)
Bert: *sigh*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: So Link, we haven't had a chance to chat since you moved in.
Link: Well I understand that you've been very busy.
Ryan: Yeah, that's true.
Link: But I also know that you'll always have time for your favorite roommate.
Ryan: Beg pardon?
Link: I mean, naturally since you chose me I'm your favorite.
Ryan: What makes you say that? I chose Gonzo, Clifford, Camilla, and Sam too.
Link: Yes, but they're not in here talking to you now, are they?
Ryan: Well, no, but--
Link Then that makes me your favorite.
Ryan: *rolls eyes*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Right next door to us live Ryan and his gang. I'm sure you'll meet them eventually.... and one door over is Kyle and his bunch. And here..... is our room!
Sweetums: Oh wow! This is great! *sees Elmo and Bean hiding in their beds* Hi guys! *scoops them up in a big hug*
Bean: Oh, uh, hi Sweetums!
Elmo: Oh, Elmo is so happy to meet you! Yeah. Elmo was a little scared at first, but now he is happy!
Alex: See? I told you guys you would like him!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Hey, Bryan?
Bryan: Yes, Big Bird?
Big Bird: There's a lot of new friends around the Dorms. Do you think we can go around and say hi to everybody?
Bryan: I don't see why not. We haven't really gotten to socialize much with anyone this week. Besides, it'll give us a chance to escape while Bert has his freaking out time. Haha! I even made some sunflower-sesame seed honey bars we can hand out.
Big Bird: Oh that sounds great!
Bryan: Come on!
(Bryan and Big Bird go around the dorms to say hello to old friends and welcome the new)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Goes to the restroom for a shower*

Claudia: He smelled like a lawn mower!

Bunsen: Where there is bravery...comes a smell most intolerable.

Claudia: Like?

Bunsen: Burnt toast mixed with lawnmower.

Claudia: *Giggles*

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *sits down on the bottom bunk bed, which belongs to Elmo* This is great! I mean, great roommates, a real comfy bed.... and LOOK! My own dresser!
Alex: Actually, your furniture hasn't come yet. But you're welcome to use my bed until then.
Sweetums: *gets off of Elmo's bed* Oh, sorry about that little buddy! *hits his head on ceiling* Oof! I gotta be more careful!

[BEAR]

Bryan: (with Big Bird, knocks on Alex's door)

[BEAR]

Bryan: Hmm...a lot of our friends don't seem to be home.
Big Bird: Maybe they're at work or at school.
Bryan: Yeah. Well, we can just leave the sunflower-sesame seed honey bars on all the doorsteps.
Big Bird: Okay!
Bryan: I wonder if Ed got my message I sent earlier.

[The Count]

*Cackling with glee... Oh hey Bry, yes, I got your message. Just have to go back to the town's layout thread and add the new establishments to what was plotted out there. Hexpect a message when I get the chance to put it all together.

Also, just sent Claudia my latest notions, sure hope she can put them to hauntingly lovely illustrated form.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(thundering noises come through ceiling)

Storyteller: Cake's done...(suddenly looks up at ceiling, and accidentally puts her bare hand on the hot pan) Ow! Oh!
Nora: Storyteller!
Erin: Nora, get the pan from her. Storyteller, get your hand under cold water, pronto. I'm going to go see what's going on upstairs. (runs from room and heads for elevator)
Storyteller: Oh, no...(holds hand under stream of cold water) I won't be able to hold a pen for a while.
Scooter: (nods head sympathetically) It's okay, you can just dictate your stories to someone for a bit - (hears a knock on the door) I'll get it. (opens door) Oh, hi, Big Bird, how's it going...hey, great, thanks!
Beige: Was that the thundering thing from upstairs?
Scooter: (listening to more thundering upstairs) No, it was just Big Bird. (comes into kitchen holding a covered basket) He brought us something.
Nora: (lifts the cloth on the basket) Sunflower-sesame seed honey bars. Very nice!

upstairs:

Erin: Hi, Alex, what's going on...you rooming with Bigfoot now? (pause, sees Sweetums) I was close...Sweetums! Hi, how's it going?

(back downstairs)

Storyteller: (gingerly turning the cake out of the pan and onto a rack, with Nora's help) So that thundering's stopped...
Erin: (returning) It's okay, gang, I just met Alex's new roommate - and guess who it is?
Beige: Has she got a Gorg living up there with her? Or did one of her current roommates get a hold of Dr. Honeydew's Insta-Gro pills?
Scooter: (wincing) Don't go there.
Erin: Neither. It's Sweetums.
Storyteller: Is he here now? Oh, excellent, excellent!
Beige: Wait, I might have seen him before - is he that big, shaggy beast?
Scooter: Yeah - (glumly) and now he's rooming with the little, shaggy beast.
Nora: (gently chiding) Oh, Scooter, is Bean really all that bad?
Erin: No - he's worse. And there's two little, shaggy beasts - you forgot Elmo. (spots basket) What have we got here?
Storyteller: Present from Big Bird and Bryan. Arrived just after you went running upstairs.
Erin: Hmm - sunflower-sesame seed honey bars. These look good; they'll make a good pre-bike ride snack.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
What a quiet night.
*Looks out her window*

Bunsen:
Isn't it? A lovely change rather than our chaotic habits. Oh...I have a dreadful headache that may just be enough to cause an earthquake from here to L.A.

Claudia:
Yeah. I'll toast to that silent thing but not to your splitting headache. I'm sorry about that, Bunnie. *Raises cup of juice*

Bunsen:
Yes. *Raises his cup of tea as a toast to her*
Speaking of apologies, I'm afraid you owe me one.

Claudia:
What? *Slowly realizes*
Ohohoho...nope. I was just having my fun.
I owe you not, an apology.

Bunsen:
Indeed you do.
*Places his cup on his nightstand*

Claudia:
Aw, don't tell me that.
*Pouts*

Bunsen:
Fine, you needn't apologize.
*Presses his hand against his head with a groan*

Claudia:
*Bites her lip feeling guilt tug at her*
Ok, I am sorry.

Bunsen:
*Looks good-natured*
No problem, dear.

Claudia:
For a moment I thought you were gonna
rub it in my face and chuckle at my misery.

Bunsen:
I'd do so but I'm in no condition for that.
*Chuckles weakly*
Ooooohhh...

Claudia:
It will pass. I've never seen you with
such a headache before.

Bunsen:
It happens occasionally.
Very rare as it is nothing new.

Claudia:
Beaker and Dr. Van Neuter slept really early...

Bunsen:
They've been creating an early sleeping habit.
It is a most healthy thing. You should be sleeping too, missy.

Claudia:
Naw.
*Sticks tounge out*

Bunsen:
Dear me.
Fine, go ahead--I find joy in a friend's company anyway.

Claudia:
Better.

Bunsen:
Certainly.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *walking back to her room with Sweetums* .... and then I said - oh look! Bryan and Big Bird left us a present!
Sweetums: I don't get it?
Alex: No, no. See? They left us a treat!
Sweetums: Aw, aren't they great? You know, I've always wanted to meet Big Bird!
Alex: Well, why don't we go pay them a little visit? I'll just see if the other boys want to come along. *opens door* Hey Bean! Elmo! We're gonna go visit Bryan!
Elmo: Wait wait! Elmo is coming too!
Bean: I'm coming! *runs out the door*
*the four head over to Bryans room*

[The Count]

Wonder if Claudia got the message I sent her. Oh well, so hungry I am, could eat some of the furniture.

*puts on the record "StoryTime from Sesame Street*

Grover: I have always loved story telling.

Well you've read one too.

Grover: I have. David and Maria. It was funny. Kermie baby was there too.

Herry: I remember that. Oh boy. My favorite story. "The Kings Nose."

Bruce: My mom read this story to me all the time.

Murray: Shhhhhhhhh...trying to listen.

Bruce: sorry.

They keep listening to the record of story tales

[The Count]

*Comes back with Count and Uncle Deadly after enjoying a thick classic pepperoni and sausage pizza pie, the kind that's more of a fluffy dessert pie than the flattened pie you get at the normal pizzeria...
Boy, they sure make a great pie over at Jull's Parlor.
UD: Yes, and the ghost host with the most is certainly a defright to be catered by.
Count: Mmm, so vonderful to count the slices of pepperoni and little sausage meatballs vhile enjoying a good meal...

Sated and contented, the occupants of Room #1 change from going-out clothes into their normal casual room clothes, preparing for a soundful sleep of ages at this late hour.

And in response to Kathy's assertions of the Chef being a nice guy, all I have to say is "awgah... herdy-flirdy, yah yah."
Good night everybody...

Count, quietly: The MC Dorms vere brought to you by the number 11... *A ghostly 11 escapes from the organ's pipes without nary a peep, as the silencer segments had been carefully connected over their mouths.
And by the letter T for Transylwania. Nighty-night, and don't let the batty bats bite.

Ernie: Hey, Bryan. What are you doing up so late?
Bryan: Oh, just planning a surprise for Big Bird tomorrow.
Ernie: A surprise? Is it his birthday?
Bryan: No, no. It's just a very special...something for him. Biff and Sully will be here early in the morning to help.
Ernie: What is it?
Bryan: (Whispers in Ernie's ear so no one can hear a word)
Ernie: Oh wow! He's gonna love that!
Bryan: Yeah! Now don't tell him, remember. It's supposed to be a secret.
Ernie: You can count on me! I'm good at keeping secrets. Like the time I used one of Bert's argyle socks to clean the bathtub. No one knows about that. Well...now you do, but I'm still good at it!
Bryan: Don't worry, Ernie. I trust you.
Ernie: Good.
Bryan: You better get some rest.
Ernie: You too.
Bryan: Yeah, I'll be hitting the pillow in a few minutes.
Ernie: Okay. Goodnight.
Bryan: Goodnight, Ernie. Sleep tight.

HAHA! Scooter is sooo cute!

I personally liked the episode where I tested my teleporter.
*Looks triumphant*

Dr. Van Neuter:
I was only on Muppets Tonight so I can't say.

Bunsen:
That is because I'm most adored which is why they casted
me in the Muppet Show.

Claudia:
Guys, hush up.

EDDIIIIIIIEEEE THIS IS BRILLIANT!

Mmmm...Coca-Cola.
That is a great idea. It helps me alot.

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team. To celebrate the dorms' 3rd anniversary... And since we happen to have some great artists living with us now... Thought it would be fitting to bring back the dorm robes.
For those who might not know their Hensonville history... Back in the day, about four years now, there were two places in town you could go to and have general chaos fun besides the dorms' first building. There were the dorms pools of course (might think about reopening the poolhouse, so long as it's only accessible by dorm residents... and what with my mod powers, I could monitor it better this time...) *Snaps out of reverie. Ahem, but I'm getting away from my tale.
There existed the "Make Way in the Bathtubs!" thread, where all you needed was just 1 post to get in through BethC's door and reserve a shared tub with some forum friends.
There was also the "Make Way in the Hottubs!" thread. That was reserved for Senior Members after a forum member attained the lofty total of 1000 posts. True, for those who were under that numeric total, they could wait outside in the kiddie pool area. Unfortunately, some bad apples got in and used the threads to jack their post totals up rapidly and out of control.

At any rate... Once I became a SM and made my presence known, I started designing bathrobes for some of my friends based either on their namesake Muppets or some sort of design element. For example, the robe I made for a guy named McFraggle had plaid patterning and red radishes on the sleeves. The one I made for Bo had foamy bubbles and crossmops upon the body's sides.
So, when these threads were shut down by the MC PD in reaction to those bad apples in the summer of '04, the dorms were also locked down, though a second building was opened and here we are today. Back in September of '05, on the new dorms 1st anniversary, I gathered the ideas from the residents in order to make them their own custom dorm bathrobe-like robes.

All you need to do is provide the following:
Think of your dorms' robes as a bathrobe-like robe.
1 Provide ideas for each member in your party.
2 Select a basic color for the robes' body.
3 Select a secondary color for each individual robe's sleeves and trim.
Would be best if the color for the sleeves and trim complimented the robes' main body, but it's entirely up to you.
4 Choose some items that you would prefer to be prominently displayed on the robes' bodies and/or sleeves.
These items should be according to your own or your roommates' individual tastes.
For example: My buddy the Count would most probably have either dark brown bats or glowing numbers embroidered into his robe's body/sleeves.

For those of you who have a group of roommates:
a. You can take the time to choose different colorations for your robes' bodies and sleeves, completely different from each other.
b. Or you can choose to have one main color for the bodies of the robes for all members in your party, yet distinguish each by the sleeve/trim coloration.
For example: Back during that first year, Prawny had maroon-bodied robes for himself and everybody in his room. Yet, his own had bright orange sleeves; Gonzo's had blue-violet sleeves; Camilla's had white sleeves; Uncle Deadly's had grayish sleeves; Clifford's had purple sleeves; and Cantus's had golden sleeves.

Older residents of the dorms will know what I'm talking about, so I hope you can orient the newer dwellers should they have questions not covered in this post.
You can send me the ideas for your robes via PM or through the forum's mailer should my PM box get too full.

Thanks and hope you have a great weekend everybooooddddeeeeeeeeee!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Great, I'm a plush velveteen rabbit and I can't make my robe because my paws stop me! *Hops out the room*

Bunsen:
She's hopping mad.
Tsstss!

Dr. Van Neuter:
No, she's looking a little jumpy today!

Claudia:
RAWR!
*Sticks out her paws and lowers her ears*

Bunsen:
I'm intimidated. Whatever shall I do? Aww..
now, don't be brash.
*Picks her little plush body up*

Claudia:
*Nibbles on a piece of carrot*
Whatever. I want to be big again so I can torture you with electric shocks!

Bunsen:
Not with that attitude, missy!

Claudia:
*Bites his finger*

Bunsen:
OOOH! How rude...
*Winces*

[The Count]

Well... Whatever you do, don't feed her a piece of cake in the labyrinth. *Obscure reference I still don't rully know the meaning of.
Hop you're feeling urm, well Clawdia.

Sweetums: *sees Claudia* Awww, look Bean! Is that one of your relatives?
Bean: Well, I know most of the people in my family, but it's possible!
Sweetums: *picks Claudia up and carries her around to show everybody*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Gee, thanks alot Eddie.

*Feels herself being swooped into Sweetum's arms*

O_o Uh-oh.
---
Beaker:
*Taps Bunsen's shoulder* Mee...*Does this repeatedly*
Meeeeeeee...

Bunsen:
Not now, Beakie!
I am revisiting my steps as to how I created that
invention. Here, I may just be able to find a suitable antidote and change
our unfortunate drama queen back to her normal self.

Beaker:
*Tugging him*
Mee *pant* meee *pant*

Bunsen:
You're becoming somewhat impaitient aren't you, Beakie?
*Looks around*
Oh, Beaker, where is Claudia?

Dr. Van Neuter:
*Points to the hall where she once was as Sweetums walks away to show off Claudia*
Right over there somewhere. Genius.

Bunsen:
Wait! No! Stop!
*Stumbles over himself*
Oooooo...that hurt.

Beaker:
Meemeeemee...

Bunsen:
She is with Sweetums...so...it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
Beaker, go undercover and spy on them.

Beaker:
Meee?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Ummm...why?

Bunsen:
I just saw Mission Impossible 3 and well...
*giggles*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Pleaassee..

Beaker:
*Rolls eyes and gets his spying gadgets*
Meep?

Bunsen:
Oh, yes, how could I forget...?
*Puts in the soundtrack and goes to the infamous
theme song of MI3*

Beaker:
*Nods and climbs the walls with hand stickies*

*Voice on cassette: Basura... trash... Please turn cassette over.
*Voicestill: That's your mission gentlemen. This tape will self-destruct in... Aaaaaaah! is heard as the tape's thrown out the window from whoever was listening in Room #22.

UD: Quite a predicament your sister's gotten herself in.
Yes... Perhaps we should go chasing after her now that she's an awfully cute little white rabbit.
Count: Careful you don't go falling down any rabbit holes.
UD: Mmm, mayhaps we could visit with one of my old fiends, the Jabberwock.
Count: Or have tea vith the Hatter.
Me: Yes, and take in a friendly game of croquet with the Queen of my Hearts...

Hey Claudia! *The boys scramble to see if she needs any help turning herself back to normal.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
*Covers ears as the explosion occurs*
How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate your condition is not permanent. You're lucky, too. Red eyes suit so few.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh, you said it wonderfully! That suits Claudia well!

Bunsen:
It does. Anyway, no help needed gentlefiends...we must away! Off to Science! *Slowly walks back to continue his research*

Beaker:
*Crawls on the cieling* *Blood rushing to his head* Meee...@_@

(outside, gang returns from a morning bike ride - with Erin, Scooter and Nora riding single human- and Muppet-sized bikes, and Storyteller and Beige riding a tandem Fraggle-sized bike)

Nora: It's warm out today.
Erin: I know - I'm ready for falling leaves and dropping temps.
Beige: Or at least a good solid cold front.
Scooter: (finding a letter slipped under the doorstep) Here's something - it's from Ed and the Count.
Erin: Let me see...(opens letter, reads it) Mmm-hmm...oh, this is about the dorm robes they mentioned early on.
Nora: Dorm robes?
Storyteller: Yeah, they want everyone in the dorms to design their own bathrobe and all that. I think it's an excellent idea.
Erin: (reading) We can choose all one color, or get different colors for each roommate...
Storyteller: Let's all get bright carnation-pink ones with big splashy flowers and lacy cuffs on them.

(The others give her horrified looks and start to back away slowly.)

Storyteller: I was only teasing, for Fraggledom's sake! (turns and goes into hut, muttering something about her roommates having no sense of humor)
Erin: (takes folded papers out from letter) There are five order forms here. Everyone take one, and choose your own colors, emblems and styles.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Wiggles her nose*
Eh, what's up doc?

[OOC: I just had to...XD]

[The Count]

Yeah... There's this kid who actually had to wear a robe like that at his own school's Yule Ball once. Name escapes me at the moment... Oh well. Come on guys, let's go and see if we can piece together a list of places in town for Bryan's project.

*Uncle Deadly and Count pull out the Hensonville map to help Ed with this task, once they've finished their ice creams, nibbling at the soft-baked waffled cones.

[BEAR]

Bryan: Hey, guys. Want any lunch?
Sully: (starts to speak but is interupted)...
Biff: No, thanks. We brought our own. Peanut butter and apple sauce sandwiches!
Bryan: Hmm...I'll have to try that sometime. Boy, you guys are coming along great on fixing up this room again. I know the room layout has changed a bit in the last year, but you seem to know exactly how to alter it.
Biff: Hey, we're professionals! Right, Sul?
Sully: (eating his sandwich is about to respond, but is again interupted)...
Biff: Sully, don't talk with your mouth full. It's rude.
Sully: (has a puzzled look, but then shrugs it off and goes back to eating)
Bryan: Well, I know he's gonna just love it when he arrives.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Okay, guys, I sent the forms in - Ed's got them off to the tailor's.
Nora: So what'd everyone go with?
Beige: I went with something sensible and upright. No nonsense, nothing silly.
Storyteller: Oh, what's the matter, Beige, afraid to loosen up a bit?
Beige: This from the Fraggle who denied she was at that big musical number...(clears throat) But anyway. I am a former security Fraggle, and I...(as he speaks, something falls from his pocket, and Scooter catches it) Hey, give that back!
Nora: What is that?
Scooter: It's a photo...of Mokey. (Beige turns bright red) And it's got little hearts drawn all over it.
Storyteller: Oooh, someone's got a crush...
Scooter: And it looks like those other photos I saw on your desk.
Beige: I don't know how that got into my pocket! Honest! (mutters something about doing a better job of hiding the photos in the future)
Erin: Well, after all that went on with the Fraggle War that wasn't, I'm not surprised.
Nora: Beige, it's okay, we understand.

[Gloat]

Adam: Coursework! Noo! *slams table and grabs the nearest object and throwing it out the open window, the object being a golf club, oh yeh, and there was a Boppity on the other end* WhoopsGloat: *walks in* Hi, how was work today?Adam: it was alright, but working the whole day on a farm stacking bales aint half tiring, its a muscle building job though, which is why i enjoy itGloat: Where's Boppity?Adam: He's gone playing golf... 50 feet off the groundGloat: ooh! Sounds fun, can i join?Adam: No, its slave labour time now, you still arent disciplined enoughGloat: But ive been good!Adam: You've already bitten me 5 times today! Now, go find a job to doGloat: *walks out*Adam: I really need a dog, maybe then they'll be a balance in all the biting
( for some reason the seperate speeches wont spread out, even when editing, so thats the best i can do)

[Erine81981]

Ok guys. I have read that we have to come up with our robes again.

Murray & Bruce: What are you talking about?

Grover: Well since you and Bruce were not here when we started this trend.

Herry: Me and Grover will explain it to you in a song.

Grover: Hit it Charlie!

Bryan: Hey, Cookie Monster!
Cookie: Hello!
Bryan: How are you doing?
Cookie: Fine. Where is everybody?
Bryan: Oh, Bert and Ernie took Big Bird to the park. You know, to keep him away while Biff and Sully are working.
Cookie: Oh yeah, good idea. Umm...what they doing?
Bryan: It's sort of a surprise for Big Bird.
Cookie: What he going to do with that?
Bryan: No...how do I explain? (whispers in Cookie's ear)
Cookie: (Gasps) That terrific!
Bryan: Yeah!
Cookie: Oh, me can't wait to see look on Birdie's face!
Bryan: I know! Me too. Now, you have to promise me you won't say a word to Big Bird about it.
Cookie: Well...
Bryan: Promise?
Cookie: But...but...
Bryan: What if I gave you this? (holds up package of Oreo Cookies)
Cookie: Okay! (grabs cookies and devours the whole thing, wrapping and all)
Bryan: I knew he'd see it my way.
Cookie: URP!

[Erine81981]

Murray: I see.

Bruce: Cool. Nice song guys.

Grover, Herry and Me: Thanks. :o

Now to get going with our ideas to Ed. He'll send them to some factory and get them made and sent back to us.

Murray: *starts to write but remembers* Uh don't know how to write?

Don't worry. I'll write everyone's down. That means i don't have to give Ed five different pieces of paper. Ok.

Everyone starts spilling out their ideas for their robes

Man, this won't be easy.

[The Count]

Great song boys... Oh, and don't forget about Oscar's robe.
*Walks back to own room, turns on the TV and starts watching the Feasting on Asphalt 2 marathon.

[Erine81981]

Thanks for the reminder Ed. *heads over to Oscar's can* Hey Oscar! *no one answers* Wonder where he can be? *knocks on trashcan lid* HEY OSCAR!

Oscar: *pops up* What is i...oh it's you. What do you want?

Remember your robed that Ed have made for you?

Oscar: What robe?

The robe that we had from the last two years.

Oscar: Oh you mean this? *pulls up old ragged, full of hole and a smell linger off of it*

*holding nose* *coughs* Yea, tat it.

Oscar: Well don't worry. I don't want one. *slams trashcan lid*

*breath easily* Boy was that a smell to remember. I'll just make an idea up for him. He won't mind a bit. Thanks again Oscar.

Oscar: *from inside his can* Not helping! *groans*

Bunsen:
Almost done! I've to add a bit of carrot juice though so the terrible flavor wont overpower the taste. *Whips out his walkie-talkie* Dr. Dew to Lil Meep...can you hear me? Retrieve the victim.

Uh Kathy... The robes are meant to be kept hush-hush, until all is revealed at the fright time. So if you could please amend the post above and send me the ideas instead that'd be a big help. Thank mew too...
MewToo: You called?
No, just go back playing with Fatatatita.
MewToo: OK then...

Sorry, a bit of cat humor for you. Take care Kathy, my older MC cousin.

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *scratches his head* I didn't know Claudia was a rabbit! Bunsen must have created an experiment that works, if he could turn a rabbit into a girl! I mean, one day she's a rabbit, then a girl, then back into a rabbit!
Bean: Um, Claudia isn't usually a rabbit. But she sure was pretty.....
Alex: *weird look* You know, I think I'll go find some humans to talk to.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen, Beaker, and Neuter:
*Making faces at Bean's comment while staring at eachother*

Claudia:
*Scratches head*
I do make a cute wabbit...
don't I?
*Scary attempt to make a cute face*

Bunsen:
Silly little girl.
Here, drink up.

Claudia:
Thanks.

All three:
*Look with anticipation*

Oh snap.

All watching the new premire of "iCarly" show on TeenNick and eatting chicken tenders with Mac and cheese, beans, french fries and gravy. But will get to Ed later on those robes.

[The Count]

Is sokay Kyle, when you get the chance. Thank mew again Kathy, they've been stored with the details for the others received today. The staff at Wardrobe Disasters and Stitch in Time Tailors will definitely be busy.

Yes, she does make a cute wittle wabbit. *Gets strange looks from others. Um, OK, never mind, moving on...

[BeakerSqueedom]

HAHAHA!

Claudia:
See?

Bunsen:
Please, where is your sense of modesty?

Claudia:
Somewhere over the rainbow...
skys are bluuuueeee...
there's a land that I've heard of...
once...
in a lullaby...

*Record makes a scratching sound*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Not tonight.

Beaker:
Phew!

Bunsen:
Finished another drawing?

Claudia:
YESSSS!

[Erine81981]

Is it already Halloween?

Herry: Why do you ask?

I thought i just heard a witch laughing.

Herry: I didn't hear anything.

Oh well can't wait till Halloween. It's going to be great this year.

Herry: Why's that?

Because of getting new costumes, decorating and scary movies.

Herry: Why?

Not why. Cool.

Herry: I know why it will be fun for me.

Why?

Herry: Because my parents and sister are coming to visit.

Why?

Herry: Not why. But can't wait.

Bruce: Did i hear that your parnets are coming over?

Not today Bruce. It won't be till Halloween week.

Bruce: Can't wait. They are one fun family to be around.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(group is having a late dinner in the kitchen)

Scooter: You guys hear that Claudia's been turning herself into a rabbit?
Erin: It's true - and I'll bet it's been a hair (or hare)-raising experience for her roommates.
Nora: They're probably the ones who turned her into a rabbit.
Beige: Wait, hold on, I thought they sent her back in time or something.
Storyteller: No, I heard she sent Bunsen back in time.
Nora: Oh, let's face it, it's business as usual for them.
Erin: Yeah, tomorrow they'll all probably be sprouting leeks out of their ears.
Scooter: And then they could audition for Marvin Suggs' All-Food Glee Club.
Beige: Or at least make a pot of vichyssoise.
Nora: Maybe, with some potatoes, and chives, and some cayenne powder and seafood...
Scooter: No, cayenne and seafood go in bouillabaisse.
Storyteller: Well, why'd you have to take it to Bouillabaisse? Sure, it's a nice little town in France, but I don't see why you'd have to take your cayenne and seafood all the way there...
Nora: I think leeks would go better in a quiche or something...
Erin: No, you don't want leaks in your quiche - the filling would ooze out all over the oven and make an unholy mess.

(conversation continues in the vein of groan-worthy cuisine jokes until Storyteller tells everyone that their dinner's getting cold)

[The Count]

Too true... Leaks are more for the Feast of St. Crispen... On September the 25th, when you must face the hour of your doom.
*Evil grin.

*Knocks on Room #22's door. Hello, is the lady of the house... *Finds Claudia's still a cuuute rabbit, though turning into her old self more and more. Hmm, imagine that. Bunsen being called "Bunnie" by a bunny.
Just wanted to hexpress my sheer delight and thank-yous for the drawing done up by my talented cyber-sister. Um, I'll just leave this box of bat's milk milk chocolates bought at the Penny Candyman Sweets Shoppe with Beaker for her then. Chin up Claudia... Just let your hare down and it'll be hare today, gone tomorrow.

*Exits whistling a creepy merry tune.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
A witch? Oh, I'll show him.
*Raises her sleeves*

Bunsen:
Since when did you become so rebelious?

Claudia:
Erm, I take it back.

Bunsen:
A recommended action.

Claudia:
Hi Eddie!

Bunsen:
Hello!

Claudia:
Yah, funny isn't it?

Bunsen:
What a clever pun, Edward.
Erin made one not too long ago--or some other.

Claudia:
-_-

Bunsen:
Be nice and get the chocolate.

Claudia:
Thank you, Eddie!
*Gets it*
Yummeh...

Big Bird: We're back!
Bryan: Hey, Big Bird! Didja have fun at the park?
Big Bird: Oh yeah! We played soccer.
Bryan: Cool! Hey, buddy, I have a little surprise for ya.
Big Bird: You do?
Bryan: Yep. Come on out here.
Big Bird: Oh boy, I wonder what it could be.
(Bryan leads him out the back way to the outside showing him the beautifully large and refurbished caveroom)
Big Bird: It's a...cave! (confused but still happy)
Snuffy: Well, I finally got all my stuff unpacked! (the big shaggy brown Snuffleupagus slowly emerges from the caveroom entrance)
Big Bird: (Lit up at the sight of his best friend) Snuffy?
Snuffy: (just as lit up) Hello, Bird!
Big Bird: What are you doing here?
Snuffy: Didn't you hear? I'm moving back to the Dorms with you!
Big Bird: Really? What a wonderful surprise!
Bryan: We've been working all day fixing up the old caveroom.
Big Bird: Thanks, Bryan! (To Snuffy) Welcome back, old pal!
Snuffy: Aww, thanks! Dohohoho!
(Big Bird and Snuffy hug)

[BEAR]

(In the Caveroom...)

(Big Bird is sitting with Radar the teddy bear in his nest which has been moved in for the night)
Big Bird: Thanks for letting me sleepover in Snuffy's caveroom tonight, Bryan. I hope my nest wasn't too heavy to move in here.
Bryan: Luckily we have plenty of friends to help out.
Big Bird: Yeah.
Bryan: You all comfortable, Snuffy?
Snuffy: (laying on his stomache over a king sized mattress, with a large blanket over his back) Oh yeah! This mattress is nice and fluffy.
Bryan: Good. Well, sweet dreams, you two. See you tomorrow.
Snuffy: Goodnight, Bryan.
Big Bird: Goodnight.

(Bryan leave the caveroom)

Big Bird: Goodnight, Snuffy.
Snuffy: 'Night, Bird.

(The two drift off to sleep...)

Bert: (Voice-over) Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the number 2 and by the letter S. Night!

[BeakerSqueedom]

A blinding light comes into view. Metallic sounds break the silence as
two figures are looming over a poor soul.

Bunsen:
Excellent, pull him down!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Check!

Bunsen:
Stop squirming--I promise it won't hurt too much!

Dr. Van Neuter:
I love your hair but um that's not what matters right now.

Bunsen:
Actually, I rather like it too...but yes you are most certainly right.
We musn't be distracted with it's fluffiness.

Beaker:
Meemooooommmooooo!

Bunsen:
Don't worry, you'll go unconcious by the time you feel it
plunge into your solar plexus where you are liable to...

Well, let's not be too negative. Positivity makes miracles!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yep! Let us explore anatomy at it's best!
It is always wonderful to do it on a live person except
for the fact they um...sort of...

Bunsen:
Go to muppet heaven?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh! Yes, that exactly!

Bunsen:
Silence, Beakie!

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPP!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Quiet! She'll hear you!

A young girl comes in the room looking awfully irritated and swoops
the victim into her arms, leaving an annoyed Bunsen/Van Neuter stumped.

Claudia:
Nice try.

Bunsen:
Hm.

Dr. Van Neuter:
That is so not cool.

Beaker:
*Kisses Claudia's hand*
MEEEEEE!

Claudia:
You're welcome, Beakie.

[The Count]

Honestly... What were they trying to accomplish?
UD: Send some business off to my boss?
Count: Your boss?
UD, nods knowingly.
Me: *Shiver. Yes, well, let's not call on him unless it's absolutely necessary.
UD: Like inviting him to this year's Halloween festivities?
Count: Ah-ha! Vhat fun I vill have counting all the trick-or-treaters and all the clever costumers!
Me: Yeah, like that. Anyway, you think Claudia's found the trap door in her room?
UD: A trap door? Pray tell, what dark and dreary dungeon does it lead to?
Me: Oh, it's just a trap door connecting her room with the one directly beneath it... The dorms' laundry room.
UD, disappointed: Oh... That... *Waves his clawed hand dismissively.
Count: So, vhere vill ve be lunching today?
Me: How's about we go off to Jull's Pizza Parlor, the one open here in town.
Count: Yes... And hopefully ve'll spot some lovely lightning as ve dine in their sheltered outside booths.
UD: Ah, now that's something that suits me just fine. Nothing like a little gloom while savoring one's last meal.
Me: Yeah, let's go before it starts really raining out on the streets. Hope Bryan's got things in line for that town project he mentioned.
*All leave Room #1 out to the pizza joint.

[BEAR]

Bryan: I hope you slept well in your newly rebuild caveroom, Snuffy. It's good to have you back with us.
Snuffy: Thanks, Bryan!
Bryan: We still have to post our whole room description now that we're all here, but we'll do that at a slightly later time. I need to head out to the theater. We have a matinee today. See ya later! (exits)
Big Bird: Well, what should we do today, Snuff?
Snuffy: We could play snuffletag!
Big Bird: How do you play that?
Snuffy: Like this...(tags Big Bird with his snuffle and starts to run) You're it!
Big Bird: (laughs and runs after him) I'm gonna get you!
(Ernie and Bert enter)
Ernie: Hey, that looks like fun!
Bert: Yeah...
Ernie: (Taps Bert's shoulder) You're it, Bert!
Bert: Awww...I'm always it!
Cookie: (left alone, taps a cookie sitting on a plate) Tag. (pause; he shrugs and grabs the cookie and eats it leaving a crumby mess)

Herry: *sees Snuffy and Big Bird playing* Hey. Can we join in?

Murray: This looks like fun.

Bruce: I know i would love to.

Bruce: Oh no. I'm it. *runs after Herry*

Herry: Your not going to get me.

Murray: Over here Bruce! *jumping waving his hands in the air*

Bruce: I'll get one of ya'll. *runs and tags Snuffy* Your it big fellow. *runs off*

Adam: *Sunbathing* Hey guys, aint it fun watching them lot have fun eh?... Guys? *looks up*

*Boppity and Gloat rise from under the sun bed*

Boppity: Yes?

Adam: *stares* What were you just doing?... Nevermind, its time you guys did something with yourselves, so do something

Gloat: We were just watching that lot playing, we placed bets

Adam: But it's a game of tag, no one really wins

Bopppity: We know, just trying to amuse ourselves

Adam: well thats something new, why not join them? They could use someone to laugh at while they play *laughs*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:

What a handsome fellow you are. Yes, I find you
terribly attractive with your circular spectacles hiding
your divine eyes and that oh so adorable little nose. When I see you fussing over your flasks...I can't help but feel insects flutter about in my stomach. When I observe how lovely you are--I try my hardest to resist the impulse to bring you into my arms...

and boast on how I managed to get a PHD in my first year.
Ah yes, it usually takes years to recieve such a treat and it was
all because of your exquisite beauty and cunning. I never
did say how much I splurge in the closeness of our relatonship...

I must confess how much I want to get down with the chemicals
and solve mathematical problems while you stand close to m-

Claudia:
Bunnie, you're doing it again.
This time with my compact mirror!

Bunsen:
Oh, You nearly scared me out of my lab coat!
I-I-I figured no one was around.
I thought you went with Beaker and Phillip to the movies...
*Reddens as he gives her the mirror with a weak chuckle*

Claudia:
You must have alot of time on your hands
if you speak that way to yourself.

Bunsen:
If women cannot resist my charming personality and
(pardon) good looks then neither can I.
*Pats his face*

Claudia:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bunsen:
*Sigh*

[BEAR]

Snuffy: (sneaks up behind Gloat) Hello. (taps Gloat's head with snuffle) You're it! (runs away) Dohohoho!

[The Count]

Mmm... Sure is nice to see them out there having fun.
Count, counting the number of times the position of being "It" has changed.
Wonder how Sis's doing with the other illustration I sent her, the one of that soon-to-be scream queen from Spider-Man/Muppets 3.
UD: Another defrightful doll?
Me: Yes... But you've already gotten the inside information on my plans.
UD: Quite fright my creepy colleague.
Me: Maybe I should get writing the little addition to get the castle's new haunters started. Still have to read Julius Caesar for school, but that can wait till tomorrow since my class on that's this Tuesday.
*Tremulous thunderclap can be heard from the outside patio area.
Mmm... Better go get the kids to come in for dinner, it'll be nighttime soon.
UD: And then I'll have full range to spook up some news from the boss's skeletary via our friendly fiery frequency connections.
Me: Yeah... You do that Uncle Deadly.

*Steps out to see what Claudia's up to around the halls of the dorms.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Bunnie, why did you type that on
my Piggy/Kermit thread?

Bunsen:
I could not help it.
Call it revenge for intruding on Bunsen time.

Claudia:
Whatever Bunnie.
*Creeps out the door and goes to where Eddie is before throwing herself
on his back*
THE HORRIBLE GLOMP HAS GOT YOUUU!
;) HEEHEEEE! HIIIIIIIII!

Beaker:
Meemee!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Another victim.

Beaker and Neuter:
*Are in funeral clothes*
Poor Edward.

[The Count]

*Buckling back up with Claudia huggled over his back... To Beaker and Phil, ah, but us creatures of the night can't ever really be killed. We have a habit of coming back, our spirits still lingering in the darkness waiting for another to invite us into the world once again.
*Small evil laugh, fueled by new sister hopped up on my back. Now then Claudia, I believe you have a bit of an entrusted assignment? And please don't let the boys intimidate you.
*Drops her off at her doorstep dutifully.

*Count and Uncle Deadly clap their hands after hearing the master's words.

Beth: Hey girls, sorry I haven't been around much this first week back. I'm going through a rough time at work right now
Wanda: Friday was the worst wasn't it?
Beth: Yeah and now I'm worried about going back tomorrow
Mokey: Don't worry, no matter what happens, we're all here for you
Abby: I could try to cast a spell, but you'd probably just get a pumpkin. I don't think that would help
Beth: No, it probably wouldn't but thanks for saying you'd do that. You girls are the greatest friends, I don't know what I'd do without you.
Mokey: That is what friends are for
Red: Yeah, you can always lean on us. *Sings* Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow
Mokey: But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow
Abby *climbing into Beth's lap* Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
Wanda: For, it won't be long, till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Beth: Same goes for you guys *sings* You just call on me sister, when you need a hand
Red: We all need somebody to lean on
Beth: I just might have a problem that you'd understand

Claudia: Alright alright. I will be off! To do that assignment o' course! *Disappears out of sight*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh WOW!

Beaker:
*Pats the floor where she once was*

Bunsen:
Oh dear...that was the teleporter.

Dr. Van Neuter:
She's gonna kill you later.

Bunsen:

sort of spill the secret?

Sam: Is it? What is it you are doing exactly?
Ryan: American History.

Gonzo: *gasp* You can't!

Gonzo: But-- but... American History? Why?
Ryan: ...Because I... need good grades..?
Gonzo: Yeah, but at what cost?
Sam: Oh, Ryan, do not listen to this foolish... weirdo. American History is a culturaly rich and rewarding course.
Ryan: Yeah, I know, that's why I'm--
Gonzo: You have to drop it!
Ryan: What?
Gonzo: Drop the class!
Ryan: But Gonzo--
Sam: Drop the class? That is... no! Ryan, that is absolutely unthinkable!
Ryan: Yes Sam, I--
Gonzo: Ryan you have to! Think of what you'll become if you don't drop the class!
Sam: A culturaly rich, morally correct youth of America.
Gonzo: Exactly! You'll lose your personallity!
Sam: And gain an even better one that will make all of the congressmen flock to your door!
Gonzo: Wouldn't you rather have chickens flock to your door?
Sam: That is just ridiculous!
Gonzo: No it's not! It's brilliant!
Sam: Brilliance is in the eye of the current president of this fine country.
Gonzo: And you said I was ridiculous!
Sam: Yes, I-- *looks around* Where are we?

*Wails*

Bunsen:
Shhh, this one is interesting!

Clauda:
*Attempts to strangle him*

Bunsen:
Murder me and face the consequences of having an incomplete
homework. I doubt Ryan would like that.

Claudia:
Fine. Come to the room when you're done with his homework.
Make sure to not test on Ryan with your inventions!
*Leaves*

Bunsen:
I promise.
*Chuckles*
Thoughts: For a moment I thought I heard Eddie's voice...the sequence was perfectly put though.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blinks rapidly* Um, Bunsen... *ponders* ...Thanks. Make sure you show all your work.

[The Count]

Posted by Prawn o' Doom (MC Jr. reference): "Make sure to show all your work."
Yes... Just not physically.

*Small chuckle.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Are you underestimating me? I never write with generalities--there is only so much to something so simple as Physics! Dear boy, I am an expert in this subject. I actually work with this stuff, so do not worry your little head about it. You are dealing with a professional. *Chuckles* However, Beakie always did have better handwriting...
*Mutters under his breath as he teleports Beaker into the room*

Beaker:
*Gasps*
MEEMEEEEMEEE!
MEEE-Meee-mee..me..
*Looks around*

Bunsen:
Beaker, will you kindly revise this assignment for any errors and such?
Also, could you somehow copy Ryan's handwriting so his teacher does not accuse him of having used another?

Beaker:
*Does a salute*
Meep!

Bunsen:
Good man!

Beaker:
Mee. *Does so*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Oh, hi Beaker. Really, you don't have t--...Actually, just keep going.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Comes back with frappes for the residents of the dorms--in a large tray*
*Gives one to Eddie, Kyle, Erin, Lisa, ect.*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *eats a frappe* *mouth full* F'anks Claudia.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *takes a frappe* Thanks, Claudia. *ducks back into Room 19*
Tosh: What're you doing, Kim?
Kim: Packing.
Tosh: Oh.
Fraggles: ...packing?
Boober: Kim, we just got here! Why are you packing?
Kim: Because my parents are going on vacation for the next three days, so I'm house-sitting and pet-sitting while they're gone.
Boober: Three days? What are we supposed to do without you for three whole days?
Kim: *chuckling* Don't worry, Boober. You guys will be fine. You and Gillis did okay when Tosh and I went away for my grandmother's funeral, remember?
Tosh: Actually, didn't they lock themselves in the room because they smelled Stinky out in the hallway?
Kim: ....good point.
Gillis: Oh, don't worry about a thing, Kim. I'll take care of things here.
Kim: Knew I could count on you, Maestro. Still, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have one of our dormmates at least drop by and check on you guys.
Beast: *whines*
Kim: It'll be okay, Beast. Promise. Maybe I can even convince my folks to bring you guys back some souveniers from Door County.
Tosh: Your parents are going on vacation to look at a bunch of doors?
Kim: No, it's--
Boober: Sounds like my kind of place.
Kim: *sighs*

-Kim

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
:O Wow, brain freeze to you!
*Goes to the other rooms*

Bunsen:
Thank you, dear!
I was just dying for one of those!

Beaker:
Meee! *Slurppp*

Bunsen:
Hasn't your mother ever taught you not to slurp when
you drink?

Beaker:
Meemeemama!

Bunsen:
Oh, sorry Beaker.
*Looks flustered*

Beaker:
Hmff!
*Continues editing*

[The Count]

Thank you Claudia. *Sips away at own delicious strawberry frappé. So, how to raise the intellectual climate of the room... Oh I know, let's ponder about man's role in the universe. And what kind of topping man would want to be on his roll in the universe.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
What an interesting topic, Edward!
I suppose man's role in this universe is to simply discover more
and more things! Solve mysteries, clear up the unknown, make the uncomprehensiable to be the understandable! You must speculate
closely and you'll discover the accuracy of my theory--

the topping would most likely be chocolate.

Beaker:
*Makes a face*

Bunsen:
Claudia is rubbing off on me, oh poo.

Beaker:
*Taps Ryan on the shoulder and hands him the H.W*
Meeemeeemeemee. Meee meee mee mee!
Meeemeeemee. Meee meee? Mee!

Bunsen:
Translation,
Good luck and don't stare your teacher in the eye.

Beaker:
*Nods*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: ...Oh thank you Beaker. *ruffles Beaker's hair*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
*Hair puffs up*
Meep!
*Pats Ryan's back*

Bunsen:
Ooo, mind if I?

Beaker:
*Shrugs*

Bunsen:
*Pats his hair*
It is so comical! It pops up automatically with
a touch of my finger!
Ohhohohoh!

Beaker:
Meesheesh!

Bunsen:
Ryan, my dear lad, take care and good luck!

Beaker:
Meeebyebye!

*They leave*

[The Count]

UD, in a low scary voice: Yes... Thank him you should young prawn. But isn't it about time you let him out of the booth from testing your recording device... Beat. Cleverly named, the recording device...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *shakes head* And I thought my dormies were weird...
Link: Ryan, the refrigerator is on fire.
Ryan: ...*sighs* Oh, hi Uncle D. and yes, Beaker has been let out of the recording device, and got his voice back... don't ask me how.

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Two figures are sitting (Indian style) on a bed hearing music girly music*

Claudia:
*Hears the Recording Device thing*
HAHAHAHA! THAT WAS HYSTERICAL!

Oh, Doc, stay still! Will you stop fidgeting? I am trying to
paint your nails!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh but--it tickles.

Claudia:
You have such pretty nails...

Dr. Van Neuter:
I do! I swear! They look just gorgeous!

*They both giggle*

---

Bunsen:
So you do paint your nails!

Beaker:
*Screams*

---

Dr. Van Neuter:
It's not what you think!

Claudia:
Honest! It-t-t's clear! He-e-e..

Bunsen:
Oh this is rich!
*Takes a picture of the two*

Beaker:
*Faints*

Bunsen:
*Does an amateur evil laugh*

Claudia, Beaker and Neuter:
*Make faces*

....HAHAHAHAHA!

Bunsen:
I should probably leave that to Eddie and the others...
*Reddens*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: *calls Kim* My roomies and I can drop in on your roomies while you're away. Besides, I think a certain Fraggle in your room might enjoy seeing a certain Fraggle from my room. *chuckles*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Beth: *calls Kim* My roomies and I can drop in on your roomies while you're away. Besides, I think a certain Fraggle in your room might enjoy seeing a certain Fraggle from my room. *chuckles*

Kim: Great; thanks Beth. Yeah, I think that certain Fraggle in my room would like to see that certain Fraggle in your room, too. *giggles*

-Kim

[The Count]

Yes... Just don't let a certain Fraggle in Erin's room see that certain Fraggle from your room Kim and that certainFraggle from your room Beth together.
UD, aside to Count: Do you know what or who they're talking about?
Count: Not the foggiest. But its fun as they keep bouncing back and forth.
UD: Eh, whatever. Oh no, hope he didn't just hear that.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Well, it's not like we didn't warn him when we first moved in...
Nora: But it is kind of sweet, you know...
Storyteller: Just like the way you've been mooning over Scooter.
Scooter: What?
Nora: That's supposed to be a secret!
Storyteller: And then there's Erin's fascination with a certain angel up there with the initials RHH...(pause) Hmm, I'd expect her to start raising a fuss over that.
Erin: (lurching out from room and collapsing on sofa) Not tonight, I'm too tired.
Scooter: Erin, you look awful. Something wrong?
Erin: You know that story I was hammering out on Friday?
Scooter: Yeah, the really unpleasant council meetings.
Erin: Well, turns out there are going to be more unpleasant council meetings - and my editor's decided that they're my beat for the forseeable future.
Nora: Does this mean you're not covering arts and education anymore?
Erin: Not necessarily - but for now I'm the political reporter.
Beige: And you were saying that covering politics gives you heartburn...
Storyteller: Erin, don't move from that sofa. And someone get the woman something with chocolate in it - she's going to need it.

(in real life: I've been working on a series of stories involving a rather unpleasant controversy surrounding the student government association at my university - it all has to do with changing their constitution. And it looks as if their weekly meetings are my new beat.)

[The Count]

Um... Would prefer it if applications were sent to me directly instead of posted here in the thread. Additionally, please check the game rules first so you know all to hopefully know to join the fun.

As a quick sidebar, if you don't know your Muppet roommates' birthdays, you can use either their first appearance's airdate or respective Muppeteers' birthday instead. Hope this helps and good night to everyone.

[Erine81981]

Grover: *opens the door* 11:43 and all is well!

*grabs Grover by the neck* What are you doing?

Grover: *tries to talk but can't, points to throat*

Oh yea. Sorry 'bout that. Now..(whispers)...are you doing?

Grover: I am the dorms night watch monster.

What for?

Grover: So no one will get up in the middle of the night and have a bad accident. I am very welcome to do it too. You know how much i love to help.

I know Grover but i don't think we need a night watch monster.

Grover: Why not?

Because most of these halls are lit up by lights. *shows him the lights around the hallways and the sair ways too*

Grover: Ohhh i see. Good. That is settled.

Good. Come on in.

Grover: *starts yelling, kicking and hiyaing*

What are you doin' now?

Grover: Being a ninja.

What for?

Grover: So we do not get any ninja theifs around here.

Get in this room NOW!

Grover: Huh! And to think you of all people would not want a protector around. *goes back to his room*

*is about to head in too before i remember something* Today's dorms has been brought to you by the letter "R" and by the #13. The dorms is a production of the Muppet Central forms. Good night everyone. Sleep tight. *shuts door*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Awwww, Nora has a crush on Scooter!
I think I heard it faintly as I was about to black out.

Bunsen:
I thought I was the only one who heard it.
That is pretty adorable. Ah, reminds me of the
time when I first fancied another girl in Highschool.

Claudia:
Awww, did you go out with her?

Bunsen:
Yes..
*Gets a little touchy*

Claudia:
And?

Bunsen:
She casted me off for a mediocre talking
vegetable...

Claudia:
Er...sorry about that, Bunnie.

Bunsen:
*Breathes in sharply*
Indeed, away to the world of creation
and away from the world of reality.

Beaker:
*Has a rose in mouth*

Claudia:
O_o;;; Errr...

Beaker:
*Whips out a picture of his highschool sweetheart*
Meemeeme...

Dr. Van Neuter:
You still have that picture after she dumped you?
Wow, I feel better being married. I'm gonna call my sweetiepie!
*Does so*

Bunsen and Beaker:
*raises their noses way up high*
Hmph.

Claudia:
;) Makes me happy to be single!

[Gloat]

*Boppity and Gloat run in to Claudia's room*

Boppity: Bunsen! We need you!

*They grab Bunsen by the arms and legs and takes him into their room*

Gloat: We got a problem, and our lives depend on this, Adam will kill us if he knew what we did!

Boppity: We... we.... *faints and falls backwards onto the floor

Gloat: *stares at him for a few seconds* .... We broke the coffee machine! And i want espresso! *points to it, its in pieces all over the floor*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey girls, Kim's going to be gone for a few days so I said we could check on her roomies
Mokey: Oh...really? She lives with Gillis, Tosh and Boober right?
Beth: As if you didn't all ready know that. Yes, and the Beast too.
Red: I don't mind popping down there. *in teasing tone* How about you Mokey?
Mokey: Oh, I don't mind *blushes slightly*
Beth: You guys are weird. Come on Abby, let's get you to class
Abby: Ok! I'm so excited to be back in school!

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Boppity and Gloat run in to Claudia's room*

Boppity: Bunsen! We need you!

*They grab Bunsen by the arms and legs and takes him into their room*

Gloat: We got a problem, and our lives depend on this, Adam will kill us if he knew what we did!

Boppity: We... we.... *faints and falls backwards onto the floor

Gloat: *stares at him for a few seconds* .... We broke the coffee machine! And i want espresso! *points to it, its in pieces all over the floor*

Bunsen:
Oh? Claudia, are those your hands?

Claudia:
No, why?
*Doing a report*

Bunsen:
Because...*Dragged away*

Claudia:
Yes?

---

Bunsen:
Boys! Calm down. What might the problem be?
Oh? A broken coffee machine?
*Chuckles*
Expresso you say?
Claudia makes a mean expresso--
*Teleports her to the room*

Claudia:
BUNSEN! WHERE ARE YOU? MY BUNNIE HAS GONE MISSING!
NOO--noo-no....oh...

Bunsen:
You do care.
*Starts fixing the coffee maker*
Once I'm done fixing up the Coffee maker for these gentlemen...
will you kindly make them an expresso?

Claudia:
Sure!
Just for the caring thing..
SORTA...KINDA...

Bunsen:
You keep telling yourself that.
*Chuckles*

Claudia:
Aw, Gloat...Bobbity...I doubt Adam would be a grouch. He'd understand!
*Pats them*

[Gloat]

Gloat: Not when he's finds out we were using it as a cricket ball

Boppity: *wakes* Are we dead yet?

Gloat: No, but Adam ain't here yet

Boppity: *faints again*

Gloat: Please hurry! He only went looking for the CDs we hid.... again!

[redBoobergurl]

*Mokey and Red go to room 19 to see how Kim's roomies are doing without her*
Mokey: Hello? Anyone here?
Boober: Who's out there? If you're some germ infested stranger, go away
Red: *barging in* Boober, it's just us silly
Boober: Oh. Hi Red, Hi Mokey
Mokey: Hi Boober, um, hi Maestro
Gillis: Hello yourself
Red *rolling her eyes* Hey Tosh, how's it going?
Tosh: Oh good, I miss Kim though
Red: She'll be back soon, just three days right?
Tosh: Yeah
Mokey: So..
Boober: Yeah...
Gillis: Right...
Red: Um, Mokey, remember we were supposed to come up here for a reason?
Mokey: Oh yeah! Beth said you're all welcome to join us for dinner.
Boober: Well I was going to cook some radish stew...
Red: We're going out to Everybody Eats
Boober: Oh, ok, sounds good
Tosh: Yeah, that sounds nice
Gillis: Thanks for the invite
Red: We'll see you all later
Mokey: Bye *they leave the room*
Red: You're such a girl when we get around these boy Fraggles
Mokey: Oh and you don't blush whenever someone says Gobo's name?
Red: Stop it! *blushes*
Mokey: See!
*they continue to tease each other as they head back to room 3*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *walks into the doorms, smoke wafting off of her back and shoulders*
Bean: Oh hi Alex! How was the wedding? It was in your backyard wasn't it?
Alex: It was really nice! I felt bad for my cousin, because her dad didn't get there until after the ceremony, but I guess she wanted her mom to walk her down anyway, so it worked out.
Bean: Did you know alot of people there?
Alex: I knew quite a few of them. It was mostly the two families, and some of the bride & grooms friends. Oh, and some relatives from Texas.
Sweetums: Whoa. Your back is smoking!
Alex: *gives Sweetums a weird look*
Sweetums: No, really!
Bean: *begins fanning Alex's back*
Alex: *attempts to look at her back* Oh. THAT. I was wearing this really pretty green dress yesterday. It's backless and has a halter top. And because the wedding was outside I got burnt extra-crispy. It hurts pretty bad.
Elmo: Awww, Elmo is sorry about that! Here, Elmo will kiss it and make it feel better, ok? *kisses Alex's back*
Alex: Owowowowow! I don't think that's going to work this time, Elmo.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (on phone) Okay, right...fine, then. (gets off phone) Guys, the banned book reading is on for Oct. 1, at noon in front of the Nelson Square train station.
Nora: What are you going to read? I'm not sure what I'm going to read yet.
Erin: I'm doing "Wrinkle in Time;" if anyone else is interested, I've got the Potter books on my shelf in the back, and some other works...
Scooter: I'll take the fifth book. (looking up) I hear someone screaming...it's Alex, and it sounds like she's in some kind of pain.
Storyteller: Don't fret, she's just got a sunburn.
Beige: Don't fret? But she's got every reason to! I mean, think of all the repercussions that a sunburn could have...
Storyteller: True. (gets on phone) Alex, put some aloe vera on that and you'll be fine.

[The Count]

Hmmm.. Sounds like there'll be a book reading on October the 1st.
UD: Ah, how delicious... May we go?
Sure... Though make sure the bonfire doesn't catch any of the books unintentionally.
UD: Bonfire?
Yes... Do you not know what date the reading will take place on?
UD: October 1st?
Yes... And what does that date mean?
UD, seeing a twinkle light up in the Count's eyes, gets a faint idea: You mean...
Yes, the first day of the season of scaring! So you know the town will be amply and appropriately decorated by then, starting to show the vestages of our batty bretherend, spooky sisters, and all manner of creepy colleagues.
UD, looking forward to the reading with greater relish: Then we will definitely have to make sure no fires catch the spell books' pages.
Me: *Inwardly, knew he'd see it our way.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Gloat: Not when he's finds out we were using it as a cricket ball

Boppity: *wakes* Are we dead yet?

Gloat: No, but Adam ain't here yet

Boppity: *faints again*

Gloat: Please hurry! He only went looking for the CDs we hid.... again!

Bunsen:
Thanks to this sturdy device, I succeeded in piecing this back together!
Adam won't know what hit him--or the floor. Tsstsss...

Claudia:
*Makes expresso*
Just wait a bit, boys.
Now it is time for us to go.

Bunsen:
Yes.

*They leave hurriedly*

[BeakerSqueedom]

As they rush out they manage to catch Sweetum's comment. They make the most hilarious faces and look at eachother almost horrified. Bunsen gulps while Claudia looks panic striken.

Claudia:
Sweetums and Alex?

Bunsen:
Alex and Sweetums?

Beaker:
Meep?

He looks wide eyed with terror and presses his hand against his mouth
in shock. The three pace about in worry.

Claudia:
That-t-t....wow...

Bunsen:
I am speechless...

Beaker:
*Sniffles*
Meeeee?

Claudia:
Awww! Oh no Beaker! I think
we heard wrong!

Bunsen:
I'd like to think the contrary...

Beaker:
*Whips out a handkerchief and blows on it*

Claudia:
Ohhhh....*Huggles Beaker*

---

Dr. Van Neuter:
Why the long face, Beaker?

Beaker:
Meeemeeemeee! Meeemeeee!
MEEEMEEEMEEEEE!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Um...she had a sun burn....

Claudia:
Oh! She did? *Blushes*
I thought her and Sweetums were...

Bunsen:
Akward...

Beaker:
*Dances around the room*

Claudia:
Gee, you sure are happy.

Beaker:
*Rushes to leave a pressie at Alex's door*
Meep!

---

Claudia:
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Bunsen:
I suspect him...oh wow.

Claudia:
Oh wow is right!
He thinks Alex is cute!

Bunsen:
Well, she is.

Claudia:
AWWW!

Bunsen:
Now, I may just have something to
tease him about.

Claudia:
That's mean.

Bunsen:
He'd be more willing to be tested on though.

Claudia:
*Rolls eyes*

[Erine81981]

I'll be right back guys. Heard that Alex has a sun burn. Thought i would give her some of that stuff to help it from hurting. Be back in a minute. *jets off to Alex's room* *knock knock*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
Meehello!
*Sees Kyle*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *jumps up* Oh hi Kyle! How's it goin?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: And I have some really juicy Fraggle legends that I could do at the banned book reading.
Beige: I could read "Fifty More Jokes from Fraggle Rock," 'cause that used to be banned in the Cave. (sotto voce) But I caught the Cave's Oldest Fraggle reading it once.
Scooter: I'm doing the Department of Mysteries scene from "Order of the Phoenix." Either that or the flight of the Weasley Twins.
Nora: Well...I'm still undecided. I mean, there are a lot of books I could choose...
(Erin reappears, looking flushed)
Scooter: Hi, Erin, how was the latest council meeting? Was it all right? (pauses) Judging from the look on your face, I'd say no.
Nora: What happened?
Erin: That controversial new constitution they've been debating - they suddenly pushed it through.
Nora: What? But they were going to debate it, and...and...
Erin: A group of members steamrolled it through. And people were angry. Very angry. Throwing boos and hisses at the members on their way out angry.
Scooter: Ouch - but look on the bright side, you're writing page one, aren't you?
Erin: Yeah, I had an update sent to the Inspector and the Observer within an hour. But like I said - covering politics gives me heartburn.
Beige: Wow, Storyteller was right - silly creatures do play rough with politics. Any fistfights or pie fights at the meeting? Anyone unleash any Poison Cacklers or Deadly Garboyles?
Erin: No, but if they had any pies, Poison Cacklers or Deadly Garboyles, all that would have happened.
Storyteller: Dear me...I say let's all have some ice cream and sit down with a movie. I think everyone here - especially our resident reporter - has had enough political junk for one night.

(Everyone gets scoops of mocha mint swirl and heads for the common room to watch The Muppet Movie.)

(OOC: The events I described closely parallel what I've been dealing with at school in real life.)

[Erine81981]

Alex: *jumps up* Oh hi Kyle! How's it goin?
Hey Alex. I came to bring you some of that stuff to rub on your sun brun so it wouldn't hurt as much. *hands her the stuff* *puts hand behind back and starts rocking back and forth*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Oh, how sweet! Would you like to sit down? Beaker was just leaving. *pushes Beaker out the door*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Beige: Hey, did you see that? Alex just pushed Beaker out of her room!
Storyteller: (snort) And I'd like to know just what Kyle's doing in there.
Erin: He's just bringing her the aloe vera, Storyteller, he's not doing anything illegal.
Scooter: All right - here's our big scene at the ghost town. (readjusts self on sofa and watches intently)
Nora: You know, one of those gang members looks a lot like Jim...

[Erine81981]

Alex: Oh, how sweet! Would you like to sit down? Beaker was just leaving. *pushes Beaker out the door*
Sure. See you later Beaker. *comes in* Hey Bean. Elmo and yo Sweetums. *does a hand shake with Sweetums*

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: You came over to bring Alex some medicine for her back? That's so nice! *squeezes Kyle in a big hug*
Bean: Hi Kyle! Um, Sweetums, you might wanna put him down.
Sweetums: Oh, right. *puts Kyle down*
Elmo: Hello Kyle! Elmo is soooo happy you are here! Yeah. And you know what? Elmo is happy his friends are staying with you. Can Elmo go play with them?
Alex: *sits down on the couch* Kyle have you eaten? I was just fixing some dinner.

[Erine81981]

*can't breath* *breathing again* Thanks Bean. Thank too Sweetums for the hug. *streches a bit* Glad to have ya'll as friends too Elmo. Sure. I don't see why not. Room 26. That's 2-6. Go have fun. Uh well i'm not really but i'll take whatever you cook. *sits down in one of the chairs*

[BeakerSqueedom]

[LOL at Beakerfan! HAHA! I'm sorry about Erin--hope things get better. Last night it felt like a war with my body...gosh..]

Beaker:
*Gasp*
Meee?...meee?....*Leaves the pressie at the door*
Well, I am flabbergasted! Simply wanting to give her a gift and she casts me aside like an old flask!

Claudia:
Beaker....you talked!

Bunsen:
I thought I was hearing things...

Beaker:
Um...oh dear.
*Looks to the floor*
MEEEMEEEMEEEMEEEMEEE!
*Whips out forgetful ray*

----

(Last night))

Dr. Van Neuter:
Sweetheart, stay with me, k?
Don't you leave yet.

Bunsen:
Her brain waves are erratic. She's going into a spasm!
We're losing her!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Claudia, sweetie please!

Beaker:
Meee! MEEMEEE!
*Pats her head*

Claudia:
*Starts screaming and accidently punches Beaker through the wall*

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*Flies to the next room*

Bunsen:
Oh, do something!
*Mixes natural ingredients in a bowl*
I am not too sure what this will achieve but I can't think of what else to do.
Oh...I despise being of no help!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Here sweetie...drink up!

Claudia:
*Blacks out*

Bunsen:
*Gasps*
Is she--gone?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Course not, smart one.
Gosh, what is this a soap opera?
She did not even drink it!
---

(Morning)

Claudia:
I'm glad that's over. It was so horrible!
I only get sick when under pressure...

Bunsen:
OH! You're alright!
*Uncharacteristically hugs her*
Oh! I thought you were not to make it!

Claudia:
>_> GET OFF OF ME WIERDO!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Make that three!
*Hugs her*

Beaker:
*Hugs her*

Claudia:
I should go into spasms often.
Ok, bad joke.

[Gloat]

*Adam is drinking coffee at the table, while Boppity and Gloat are playing with the bean bags*

Adam: dont displace those too much, they're for your own safety

Gloat: Safety? We're not gonna kill ourselves *runs head first into the wall with no bean bags and knocks himself out*

Adam: No, but you'll come close

Boppity: *blinks* how much did all these bean bags cost?

Adam: A bit, but not as much as the vets bills if we didnt have them

Boppity: *sits on Adams lap* can we go to the park?

Adam: .... ok, i bought a new ball though, so no eating it! *carries him and Gloat out with a ball*
