[Fozzie Bear]

Don't forget to read the official rules of RPG at this thread:
http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=15183

PLOT:
Hi Guys! Today marks the begining of a new adventure in the world of Muppetdom! The day Scooter recieves a package of mysterious letters from his uncle JP Gross, these letters from his sister lead him on a search from England to Africa and beyond in a daring rescue attempt!

[Beauregard]

The Muppet Show was going great! Backstage was a flurry of activity. Chickens, muppets and whatnots tripped over each other in the usual Muppet crazyness as they tramped onstage to the lights and applause.

This was where our story starts.

Scooter was stood at the top of the backstage stairway, reading letters...
__

Wow. I can't believe my Uncle had these letters before and only just let me have them. It's too wonderful. Letters from my sis!

*opens the envelopes and scans quickly down the page*

Oh no! Oh noooooo!

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: Fozzie Bear is onstage, completing a monolouge and being heckled by the two old crabs, Statler and Waldorf. Floyd is trying to calm down Animal who is hanging over the railings outside the dressingrooms. Kermit is at his desk.

The rest of the Muppets, for those who want to join later, are scattered around the theatre.

Now, for the game to go on, someone must ask Scooter what's in the letters.

[Erine81981]

GOT MAIL!!! *grabs letter out of Scooters hand and runs around the theater draging Floyd around*

[G-MAN]

Gonzo zooms into Backstage and watches Animal and Floyd "Ah some people have all the fun." He walks over to Scooter 'Hey whats the matter?"

[Beauregard]

*slumps onto the steps*

It's my sister. I just got these letters from her. Well, Animal does, but I know what they said....

Dear Uncle,

How are you? How is the theatre? Does my beloved brother still work there?

I’m having a great time over here, but, I need a bit of a loan. Can you send twenty-thousand pounds?

Reply to the PO box at the airport.

Please send the money.

Skeeter.

I know sis would never ask for money unless she really needed it.

Dear Uncle,

I am not doing so well. I am ill with fever and wish my wonderful brother was here with me.

I still need that loan. Twenty-thousand. And soon. Please.

Skeeter

This bit, I don't understand. Why'd she call me wonderful? Last I saw her, she called me, well, something different.

Dear Uncle.

I may not live long. Please send the money. I’m sure that darling Scooter would love to post it himself, or else, I’ll be in big trouble soon. I love you all.

Skeeter.

Scooter should post it himself?

*looks up at Gonzo*

Gonzo, I think she's in trouble. I think, I think it's a code. What do you think it could mean?

[Daffyfan2003]

GOT MAIL!!! *grabs letter out of Scooters hand and runs around the theater draging Floyd around*


Heal, Animal! Heal!

*Floyd crashes into the table. He gets up and joins the others*

Hey, Scoot. What's goin' on? What's that letter about?

[Beauregard]

Oh, hey, Floyd. Can you get those letters back from Animal? Cause my Uncle finally let me have them. They were in a box of personal stuff I got in the will, too bad he didn't leave me the theatre, but never mind.

These letters are from my sis, and I think she's writing in code. What can it mean?

[redBoobergurl]

*Fozzie leaves stage after a particularly bad set with Statler and Waldorf yelling after him*
Well at least this time they only through bananas. They don't hurt as much as the apples. *sees Scooter, Floyd and Gonzo standing around in a huddle*
Hey guys, what is going on?

[Erine81981]

HEAL!! HEAL!!

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: As Scooter repeats the contents of the letters to his friends, they begin to discover some kind of code. In the letters is something contradictory to what is known of Scooter and Skeeter, and that points to and hints at something else. Once figured out this code will lead them to the next point of the story. Can anyone figure out what she was trying to say?

__

Animal! Bring them back!

*shakes head*

How could she have caught a fever, and my uncle not told me before he died?

[G-MAN]

Gonzo:Well from the last letter it sounds like it's some kind of ransom note. Why else would she have mentioned sending the money, 'or else'."

[Daffyfan2003]

Oh, hey, Floyd. Can you get those letters back from Animal? Cause my Uncle finally let me have them. They were in a box of personal stuff I got in the will, too bad he didn't leave me the theatre, but never mind.

These letters are from my sis, and I think she's writing in code. What can it mean?

Wow, man! I didn't know you had a sister. Kinda makes me wish I was on Muppet Babies . Okay, Animal, give me those letters.

[Beauregard]

*stands up quickly*

Gonzo, you're a genius. I knew it was something! Floyd, grab them letters so we can get a closer look. We'll go upstairs.

*calls downstairs*

Hey, Boss, we'll be upstairs in the spare dressing room if you need us.

*aside to Gonzo who's, apperently, just turned up*

Guest star didn't turn up.

*heading upstairs*

Oh, and Floyd. I don't think Piggy let the writers put you in Muppet Babies, cause, apparently, you shut her FoFoooooo in a drawer.

[Erine81981]

*fallows Floyd upstairs* FOO FOO!! ha ha ha ha ha ha....

[Beauregard]

*to Floyd*

Your pet sure has a big vocabulary.

[Daffyfan2003]

*stands up quickly*

Gonzo, you're a genius. I knew it was something! Floyd, grab them letters so we can get a closer look. We'll go upstairs.

*calls downstairs*

Hey, Boss, we'll be upstairs in the spare dressing room if you need us.

*aside to Gonzo who's, apperently, just turned up*

Guest star didn't turn up.

*heading upstairs*

Oh, and Floyd. I don't think Piggy let the writers put you in Muppet Babies, cause, apparently, you shut her FoFoooooo in a drawer.

That was years ago. You'd think she would have gotten over it by now. Animal, where did you go?

[Aaron]

can i help you guys?

[Erine81981]

FOO? FOO? *trying to find FooFoo* Where doggy?

[redBoobergurl]

If Skeeter has a cold it will be easy to fix, just send some cold medicine with the money.

Oh wait, you said CODE, not cold. Oh that changes everything. This could get really scary! KERMITTTTT! *Fozzie runs out of room*

[Beauregard]

can i help you guys?
Yeah, thanks Rowlf.

*opens dressing rom dor, and enters*

They sit down at the dressing table, and go over the letters which Floyd has managed to drag away from old slobber chops.

See, here guys. In every letter she refers to me, but, the thing is. When he left...

..that is...

We wern't realy, you know, kinda friends then. In fact, she said some real nasty things 'bout me and all. Now, in letter one she says: "beloved brother," then in the next she says: " wish my wonderful brother was here with me," then in the last fone she says: "I’m sure that darling Scooter would love to post it himself."

I think that she's lying. I mean, if we hate each other, why'd she talk like that? It can ony be cause she wants to draw my attention to stuff. So, what? What is it she wants me to do?

I mean, I could work all the time very day, but I'd neve make that kind of money. And I don't think kermit would give me a loan, or Bitterman's banking...

What do you guys think?

GAME MASTER: We've established it's some kind of code in a ransom note, but we need to figure out what she's saying and where the first clue is leading us. Hint. Check Skeeter's "wish" and how she says, "post it himself" also where.

[Daffyfan2003]

Well, it's just something you grow out of, man. Brother's and sisters fight all the time when they're kids. Then they grow to appreciate each other as they grow up. Makes me wish I had siblings. Right now, Animal is the only real family member I have.

[Beauregard]

*smiles across at Floyd*

I'm sorry. I didn't relaise you hd no family. I have family, but we always squabled. Gee, how selfish. Now, though, I wish I could go see her.

Hold the phone.

Floyd, pass me that letter. No, the first one. I think I've got it.

[sugarbritchez]

*Piggy enters the room*

Who let Animal in Moi's dressing room? It is totally distroyed!

*stands there tapping her foot with her hands on her hips looking at Floyd*

I guess you had something to do with this, hmmm Floyd?

[Beauregard]

*looks up from examination of letters*

Oh, hey Piggy.You look a little, um, moody? Can you lend a hand here in a second?

[sugarbritchez]

Sure Scooter...what can Moi do for you?

[Beauregard]

Oh. Gee thanks.

Could, um, - voi? - you just check my thoughts on this. In the first letter, Skeeter first calls me an endearing name, then she asks for money and says to post it to her P.O. Box at the airport.

Then, in the next, she does the same, except, she calls me an endering name and says she wishes I was there with her.

Then in the last, she does the same and asks me to deliver the money myself. I think she's giving me a clue that she needs my help and is asking me to go over there.

What do you think? And if we did go to Africa to see her, where would we possibly start looking in a place as big as Africa? Piggy, you got any thoughts?

[Erine81981]

HA ha ha ha ha pigs room distroyed!

[sugarbritchez]

wrapped up in her own thoughts of a vacation to Africa....
*thinking out loud*
I wonder how much luggage I could take on the plane? Should I take sunscreen? Do they have Lion repelant? What if it rains? My hair frizzes when it rains? Do you think they have room service?

Scooter how many outfits should I take on this trip?

[Daffyfan2003]

*smiles across at Floyd*

I'm sorry. I didn't relaise you hd no family. I have family, but we always squabled. Gee, how selfish. Now, though, I wish I could go see her.

Hold the phone.

Floyd, pass me that letter. No, the first one. I think I've got it.

It's okay man. I lost contact with my parents when I was stationed in (wherever he was stationed. I haven't seen Rocky Mountain Holiday when he said that line, so I don't know). But I guess it's more important that we stay focused on your sister now.

[Erine81981]

SISTER!! SISTER!! *jumping up and down and breathing hard*

[Beauregard]

wrapped up in her own thoughts of a vacation to Africa....
*thinking out loud*
I wonder how much luggage I could take on the plane? Should I take sunscreen? Do they have Lion repelant? What if it rains? My hair frizzes when it rains? Do you think they have room service?

Scooter how many outfits should I take on this trip?
Sheesh, Piggy. you're no help.

Look, Piggy, didn't I help you time after time in the early days of the Muppet Show? To trick Kermit and stuff. Can't you give me a little help here?

GAME MASTER: A voice comes over the speakers, announcing the entire cast to be onstage in five.

Floyd, Animal, Piggy. I think I've got it.

Here's what we'll do. We can gather together everyone who wants to come and set out to Africa to find my sis. Piggy, do you think you could lean on Kermit a little to try and borrow, um, twenty-thousand in the theatre's name? We'll give it all right back, of course.

Then we'll head over to Africa and see if we can pick out a good starting spot as we fly on the plane to the airport.

__

GAME MASTER: Now we can either:

a. Fly out to Africa and start searching for Skeeter,
b. Raise the twenty-thousand and post it to her, or
c. Give up

Let your characters voice their thoughts on these options, por favor.

[Erine81981]

*thinking* AFRI-CA! AFRI-CA! *jumping up and down*

[redBoobergurl]

Well Scooter, I know I get easily freaked out at the idea of an adventure, but I've never been to Africa. I think we should go! Maybe I'll learn a thing or two while we're there to add to my comedy act!

[Beauregard]

Yeah, maybe, Fozzie. Like, what do you get if you cross an elephant with a kangeroo? Do you know the punch-line to that?

GAME MASTER: As the Muppet banter continues, Scooter's feelings lighten and he begins to wonder if he over reated over the letters. But deep down he feels a forboding, and he convinces them all to join him on his trip to the continent across the seas.

Three days later, they begin to settle down in the airplane...

Gee guys, I'm so glad you came.

Piggy, I should have asked before we left, did you manage to get that money from Kermit?

[sugarbritchez]

Well Scooter with all my packing and planning I couldn't ever get a chance to talk to Kermie. I had to make sure I had all Moi's beauty supplies you know.

It isn't easy being this Be-utiful you know!

*flings hair over her shoulder*

[Beauregard]

*takes off glasses and rubs the lences*

Oh! Piggy! And now we're on the plane, there's no time to go back and get it.

*sigh*

Oh well. Guess we'll have to do what Muppets do best. Improvise.

*shrugs shoulders*

Does anyone have paper towels?

[sugarbritchez]

Oh Scooter, I do.......

*reaches in large carry on bag and pulls out a roll of paper towels*

And see you said I wasn't helpful.......hmmmmmmmmm

[Beauregard]

*scrunches up face reminisent of kermit*

[redBoobergurl]

I've got a whoopie cushion, would that help?

[sugarbritchez]

How about when we land, Fozzie could do a stand up comedy act to help us with the money?

[Beauregard]

*drops head into hands*

Oh boy.

[sugarbritchez]

Well didn't you say we needed 20 cents?

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: The plane from commecial airline Airports Company South America (ACSA) roars towards the beutiful landscape of Africa. The land of contrasts. The airport at Port Elizabeth, P.O. Box 101 was listed as the mailing address of Skeeter.

The plot announces for them to put their trays into the upright position, and fasten their seatbelts as the plane scream in towards the landing

20 cents? What for?

[sugarbritchez]

To get Skeeter back. Didn't you say we needed 20 cents?

Looks out the window as they land...........

Look how be-utiful it is....anyway....when we get off the plane do you think we could find that PO Box of Skeeters? I wonder what a PO is anyway. I hope it is jewlery!

Gets excited

[Beth C]

(I'll be Kermit - Seeing how Piggy is already taken)

*Kermit stands inside the airport terminal, waiting for the plane to land and his friends to disenbark*

Oh sheesh, I should have told them there was an earlier flight! I hope they had a good trip regardless.

[Daffyfan2003]

How about when we land, Fozzie could do a stand up comedy act to help us with the money?

Wait a minute, Piggy. I thought you hated Fozzie's comedy act. I sort of figured you'd want to do some kinda diva performance to raise money.

[Aaron]

**cough piano cough

[redBoobergurl]

Well, I do have some new material I've been working on, so I could do a comedy routine. Or, I could just go around and charge people to hear a joke, I've got some pretty good ones. Like this "what do you call a...oh no! how does this one go again?"

[Erine81981]

BAD JOKE! Ha ha ha ha ha ha .....*looks out window* FROG! FROG! *points out window*

[Beth C]

*picks up his suitcase and walks towards the plane which has now just landed*

Gee, I hope they aren't too shaken up from that ride. I hear that plane trips can sometimes be rough.

*waves at the plane*

I'm over here, guys!

[Daffyfan2003]

Hey, guys! I think that was Kermit. I can't really tell from here. I might of been Michigan J. or Keroppi. All frogs look alike from a distance.

[Beauregard]

*Scooter looks out through the windows*

Yep. looks like our old friend. See, check out the collar.

__

GAME MASTER: Beth, Kermit is taken by Christy, but if she's away from the week, so if you want you can carry on playing him till she gets here then fight it out with her (she may have changed her mind and be happy to play someone else) or you can pick another character when she gets back and she can carry on your Kermit from there, or you could pick another character now and she can be Kermit. Whatever ye wish.

[Beth C]

Ooops! I didn't see that! Sorry! Switching Characters... hmmm.. ok.. this ought to be interesting.. I guess I'll change to Robin. It's amazing what kids can do nowadays.


*Robin runs up to where Kermit is standing.*

Sorry I took so long Uncle Kermit. I had a hard time getting past customs. They just didn't see me!

*spies the plane* Oh there are our friends now! Hey guys, over here, we're over here! *waves frantically*

[Beauregard]

The plane swoops low over the airport, and pulls into the runway, bouncing slightly, and coming to a slow stop. The steps are pushed over, and the Muppet head down, and over to Kermit. After glad smiles, and welcoming hugs and so on, the Muppets gather just inside the airport, and decide what to do next.
__

Well, on Skeeter's letters the return address was always at a Post Office box address here at the terminal. But, uh, where. There must be a chain of PO Boxes and Saftey Deposit boxes somewhere here. Skeeter's is number 101.

*looks around*

Do you see a PostOffice/bank area anywhere?

[sugarbritchez]

Oh Scooter...look over there

*points to a row of lockers on the far wall*

Could that be what you are looking for?

[Beauregard]

*heads towards the lockers*

Ah yes! This is exactly it!

*searches and finds box 101*

Hmmm. Now, how do we get it unlocked? Any ideas? Pitty Bunsen isn't with us.

Wait, Animal? Can you help break this cabinet drawer open?

[sugarbritchez]

*fumbles through many of her bags of luggage and finds a fingernail file*

Scooter do you think this will help get it open?

[Erine81981]

*hearing Scooter, runs and tramples over Piggy* Ahhhhh YES YES YES!! *chomps down on lock*

CRUNCH!

Taste like chicken. *glups* ha ha ha ha ha ha.....

[redBoobergurl]

I think Animal swallowed the lock! What's inside the box Scooter? I don't want to look. What if there are spiders in there?

[sugarbritchez]

ANIMAL! You, You...CREAP! You ruined my dress! Now I have to go change!

*walks off looking for a rest room*

[Erine81981]

ANIMAL! You, You...CREAP! You ruined my dress! Now I have to go change!

*walks off looking for a rest room*

Sah..ree....*looks down*

[Beauregard]

Ok, guys. Let's take a look.

*opens drawer*

Ahhh! A spider!

*laughs*

Only kidding. There's nothing here, wait, just there at the bottom. Hmm. A folded piece of paper.

Opening it, the Muppets discovered a handwritten address. Should they head there? Or stay and see if they can find any more clues?

From a distence, a man stands in the shadows, and watches them through a spyglass. They do not notice him, but definatly notices them.

[Aaron]

we should go to the address

[Beth C]

*Robin walks over to the group*

Uncle Scooter, I think we should go. If Aunt Skeeter is in trouble we should help her.

I'm prepared to help. A frog scout is always prepared.

*stands up straighter and tries to look helpful*

[redBoobergurl]

I'm in, let's go to the address, I don't think we'll find much in an airport

[Erine81981]

*stands around w/ eyes closed and breathing hard*

[Beauregard]

Alrighty, then it's unanimous.

Let's go.

GAME MASTER: They hire a taxi, and go backwards, foreard, rightways, leftways, and upside down for a little bit, then they turn off into a small juddering country lane, and come to a quaint, but run-down little house. The door is swinging gently in the breeze, and hanging off it's hinges.

Wow. Like, should we knock or what?

[Erine81981]

*runs into the house* Ahhhhhrgrhhhargh.....*mess around the house*

[Beth C]

*rolls eyes at Animal*

Oh, that's not very polite.

*walks up to the house and carefully peeks inside*

I don't see anyone. *steps in further and steps on something that makes a loud CRACK sound*

Um.. I think I broke something.

*picks up what appears to be a pair of Skeeter's old glasses - they are now cracked on the lenses*

Um, Uncle Scooter - I just found these. *holds them out*

[Daffyfan2003]

Since when was Scooter YOUR Uncle anyway?

[Beauregard]

*Scooter runs into the house and skids to a stop beside Robin*

*gingerly he takes the broken glasses*

Oh, no. Oh, Skeeter.

*A newspaper, roughly shoved through the letterbox, now falls to the floor. A page shifts in the wind, and a headline blares*

JUNGLE RAIDER'S ATTACK VILLAGE

Yesterday, the impending stampede of the African elephant herd promted the Kookasza tribe to emerge from the jungle, a once annuel event. The Kookasza tribe, whose god is the queen of elephants, burst from the jungle and into our town recking houses, snatching children from parents, and taking family's apart. The young reporter, Skeeter, is among those reported missing. Skeeter had been working with us here to understand the habits and lives of the strange Kookasza tribes.

People are voting tomorrow on whether we should abandon this town entirely. I'm voting yes.
--

The paper held a date from six month's ago.

They took my sister! What are we going to do? And teh town has run from them, oh no, poor sis. Where is she?

[Erine81981]

*comes running out* Ske-eter gone. *shakes head no*

[Aaron]

we've got to save her we need a plan come on guys think

[Beth C]

Since when was Scooter YOUR Uncle anyway?

Uncle Kermit always told me it was a sign of respect to address those close to me by Uncle or Aunt. Since Uncle Scooter has been with the family ever since I was a tadpole, I was taught to address him that way.


Now as to where Aunt Skeeter has been taken, does it mention anywhere in that article just where the Kookasza tribe hails from? We could start there and track her whereabouts, possibly.

[sugarbritchez]

Looking around the old house piggy starts thinking of ideas how to remodel this old house

I think that purple curtains would look wonderful over there, and oh, some lavender lamp shades to match......of course we would have to hire a maid service to clean it up before I would stay in here. Moi is too delicate to stay in a dirty place such as this.

walking around the house Piggy notices a set of keys on the coffee table with a note.....

I wonder who left this

She hands the note over to Scooter.........

[The Count]

*A familiar-looking blue dragonlike creature steps slowly out of the shadows.
Aw, what's the matter? Don't you like what I've done with the place? Skeeter asked me to come by and housesit for her while she left for an important assignment for the newspaper she works at.

Anything I can do to help you fellows out?

[sugarbritchez]

Listen Bucko......if you know where Skeeter is then you need to come clean or I will Hi-Ya....Karate chop you.....

*does flips in the air and mysteriously changes into a Karate outfit*

I'm a Purple belt you know, and trained by the best!

[redBoobergurl]

Piggy! That's not going to solve anything! Skeeter is this guys *points to Scooter* sister. She sent us a note that said she was in real trouble. How long has it been since she left on the newspaper assignment?

[Beauregard]

*surprised*

Hey! Count. What are you doing outside of Sesame Street? And what do you know about my sisiter?

Piggy, wow. That's another key for a safty desposit box. Count, do you know where she has a box located? Is it at the airport again? Wait, was that you watching us at the airport, yeah, I saw that person.

GAME MASTER: A shrowded figure looms in the doorway. No. That person was myself. I'm watching you Muffets, and I don't like what I see. That Skeeter Muffet left this place after the raid. She went after the Kookasza tribe, and she hasn't been seen again. She left several letters which I posted out. But, my dears, if you go after that tribe, it is you who will never-be-seen-a-gain-your-selves.

In a puff of smoke, and twirl of his cape, the man is gone, leaving puzzled Muppets behind.

Skeeter went into the jungle after the Koozbanians, or whatever.

*holds back a tear*

We have to go after her. Who's with me?

[The Count]

*Out of Character: Bo, since this seems to be a TMS adventure, I posted above as a "Familiar-looking blue dragonlike creature". Thought that'd be enough of a clue that I'd like to play as Uncle Deadly. But if we're going by our avatars, then... LMK which would be better, UD or my namesake.

[Beth C]

*pulls out his frog scout manual*

Uh, Uncle Scooter, it says here in the manual that if we enter a jungle, we need to be prepared first.

What supplies do we have now?

[redBoobergurl]

Well Robin, I still have a whoopie cushion.... I do think we should go into the jungle though I'm not sure what scary things await us

[Erine81981]

I want to go!! Jungle Jungle Jungle!! Me tarzan you Sco-oter! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

[Beauregard]

*Out of Character: Bo, since this seems to be a TMS adventure, I posted above as a "Familiar-looking blue dragonlike creature". Thought that'd be enough of a clue that I'd like to play as Uncle Deadly. But if we're going by our avatars, then... LMK which would be better, UD or my namesake.
GAME MASTER: Ok. Sorry. Imagine that I said Uncle Deadly when I said Count.
Scooter: Ok gang. Here's what we'll do. We'll go back to the airport and look for Skeeter's saftry deposit box, then we'll gather suplies and go to the jungle.

GAME MASTER: When we reach the safty deposit box, I'll hand out special wepons etc so we can each have a prop with us.

[The Count]

Uncle Deadly: Thank you Scooter, I only spoke to Skeeter by phone. She was gone when I got here. However, you might find that those keys will open up Safety Deposit box #313 back at the airport's station. Could go with you to check it out if you want, might pick up a spider or two for the house's decor, they make such wonderful webs.

[Daffyfan2003]

Uncle Kermit always told me it was a sign of respect to address those close to me by Uncle or Aunt. Since Uncle Scooter has been with the family ever since I was a tadpole, I was taught to address him that way.


I see. I was getting worried for a minute that Scooter was half-frog.


I want to go!! Jungle Jungle Jungle!! Me tarzan you Sco-oter! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Down, Animal. We'll play when this adventure is over.

[Erine81981]

Down, Animal. We'll play when this adventure is over.

Down! Play later!

[Beth C]

I see. I was getting worried for a minute that Scooter was half-frog.

That's ok, Mr. Floyd. I can see how everyone can get confused.

I just hope we don't get separated in the jungle. I may be a good frog scout, but I don't think I can find my way alone.

*worries*

[Daffyfan2003]

Don't worry, man. I know my way around here. I spent a week in this area with Janice once.

[Erine81981]

Don't worry, man. I know my way around here. I spent a week in this area with Janice once.

I know way too! *breathing excitedly hard*

[theprawncracker]

*I'll be Pepe*

A rumbling in Scooter's suitcase startels the Muppets

The suitcase suddenly pops open...

Hold your horses! You can not go on a jungle adventure with out Pepe hokay! What if we find the Kookoowhatevever tribe and the only way to rescue Skeeter is for one of us to stay there and marry their most attractive lady hokay. It would be up to Pepe to save the day!

[redBoobergurl]

Leave it to Pepe to always be thinking of the ladies. Of course if we came across any female bears I could always turn on the charm. Are there bears in Africa?

[Erine81981]

BEARS! BEARS! BEARS! *breathing hard and jumping up and down*

[Daffyfan2003]

Well, I'm not lookin' for women. I'm loyal to Janice. Besides, we can't forget about our misssion to save Scooter's sister.

[DanDanStrawberry]

Meebee later-gatie!! Cheffee helpee findee Skeetoo! Skeeto cheffee findee!! If mee no findee Skeetoo mee findee feemalee cheffee dee sveedish for cheffee!

[redBoobergurl]

Floyd's right, we shouldn't be looking for women, we have to find Skeeter! We'd better get back to the airport so we can get started!

[theprawncracker]

Si, that sounds like a plan Fozzie man

[Erine81981]

Meebee later-gatie!! Cheffee helpee findee Skeetoo! Skeeto cheffee findee!! If mee no findee Skeetoo mee findee feemalee cheffee dee sveedish for cheffee!


FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!

Hey beau. Is it too late for me to join in??

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: Sorry. I have been ill for the last few days, but am back to help move the Role-Play on.

Ok, guys. Let's go on to that airport.

They leave the house, Scooter looking whistfully behind him as they go. Outside they climb into the Electric Mayhem bus (which, by the way, the Swedish Chef brought with him to the house) and head to the airport. Once there, they find the safty deposit box, and Scooter takes the key from Piggy.

Let's see what's in here shall we

[christyb]

Beau, that doesn't answer my question. May I join? and could I get a small summary as to what has happened. After a week away I gotta lot of catching up to do.

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: Sorry. Didn't see your post. Yes, you can join. Just read the last five pages (shouldn't take you long) and hop (see that pun there) right in as Kermit, cause we've been saving him for you.

[christyb]

Gracías, give me a few. This should take me a shorter amount of time than my roleplay on Fragglerocker. Those little devils went from 34 pages to 112 while I was gone. I learned a valuable lesson though. If one is a gamemaster then never leave your game for extended amounts of time. Ok, I'll stop posting as myself.

[christyb]

*Sounds of rustling are coming from the jungle and is growing lounder as it approaches the circle of friends. A faint "Darn I missed" can be heard in the distance. What could it be?? Our friends wonder as the thing get's closer*

[Erine81981]

BEARS BEARS BEARS!!! *jumps into bushes and wreastles with the bears*

[christyb]

*Kermit is plowed over by Animal*
Animal!!!! Ouch, hey get off of me. Animal!!!

[Erine81981]

*Kermit is plowed over by Animal*
Animal!!!! Ouch, hey get off of me. Animal!!!

Only frog.

[sugarbritchez]

Moi is very confused........what was in the safety deposit box?

[Beauregard]

Hey, Hi Kermit! Back, Animal.

GAME MASTER: The Muppets enter the airport, having now picked up Kermit too. They pull open the saftey deposit box...

Now, as Game Master I'm going to take a moment to delve into the contents of the saftey desposit box and give you each a weapon. These weapons are to be used with caution and won't work more than a limited amount of times.

First, there is a letter.

Dear Scooter,

I know that even one like you will be able to figure out the codes when I need to write to you should that ever become necesary. I have in here a selection of usfull gadgets that you may need to use against the Kookasza Tribe in the event of an emergancy. Use them with caution, and use them wisely.

Your big sis,
Skeeter

For Animal: A pair of super-charged drumsticks that can be used for breaking through something or for flying if you spin them.

For Gonzo: A mini cannon, complete with instruction book and no helmet.

For Floyd: A mellow electric guitar that can be used to signal long distences.

For Fozzie: A joke book with jokes that will render the hearer incabable of movement for half-an-hour because they'll be laughing too much.

For Rowlf: A Dog Biscuit. That turns you invisable for twenty minutes.

For Miss Piggy: A diva's delightfull pair of gloves thet enable the user to climb, swing, etc with the greatest of ease through the trees. Will fit trotters.

For Robin: A scout suit that will enable the wearer to hop to great hights, and a scout book that provides easy escapes from many difficult situations

For Uncle Deadly: A scarey mask that will scare any person into freezing with terror.

For Pepe: A body-spray that will make the aforementioned prawn irrisistable to any woman watching him apply it.

For the Chef: An assortment of kitchen appliences and utencils that with your imagination you can use for anything one choises.

For Kermit: A flipper-flopper, which allows the wearer to use their flippers to fly.

For Scooter: A global-positioning-system



Cool. Now we've got these gadgets, shouldn't we, er, ge going. I mean, my sister could be in big-trouble. We need to save her ASAP, and as fast as possible too.

[The Count]

So... There are 12 of us in this doomed party? Would feel better if there wee 13 of us, but you take your chances and pick your poison.
All fright then, shall we be going into the jungle to rescue Skeeter?

[christyb]

*holds up his hand* Wait a minute. I followed you guys here wondering what you were doing. *looks at watch* We're supposed to be doing a show now. What's going on?

[sugarbritchez]

Oh Kermie, you are so cute when you try to take charge

[Beauregard]

Er, Boss. Um. Look, let me put it this way. My sister is...well...she.

Kermit. How would you like to have the rights to a movie on the Muppets searching the African jungles for a missing wild gal?

[redBoobergurl]

Wow a joke book that will actually make people laugh at my jokes?! I wish Statler and Waldorf were here now!

[sugarbritchez]

It would take a miracle to have people laugh at Fozzie's jokes!

[christyb]

Er, Boss. Um. Look, let me put it this way. My sister is...well...she.

Kermit. How would you like to have the rights to a movie on the Muppets searching the African jungles for a missing wild gal?
It's alright. I understand now. We need to find Skeeter. I put a sign on the theater that said we're closed until further notice so we can continue to search.

[Daffyfan2003]

For Floyd: A mellow electric guitar that can be used to signal long distences.


*Trys out electric guitar*

Hey, man. That's cool. I ought to try this one with the band.

Hey, Kerm. Glad you could join us.

[theprawncracker]

Pepe the King Prawn does not need body lotion to attract the ladies, I am is already irresistible hokay. But, just in case I will carry it along with me in case its a lady... um a lady... a lady pig hokay!

[Erine81981]

For Animal: A pair of super-charged drumsticks that can be used for breaking through something or for flying if you spin them.

DRUM STICKS!! Yeaaaaaa *starts banging on Fozzie's head*

[christyb]

Guys! Be careful. We don't know the power of these things. We need to save them for later when we need them.

[theprawncracker]

Si, Kermin I wasn't going to use it, in fact I would never think of attracting a pig hokay.

[Beth C]

*looks through the scout book*

Wow, Uncle Kermit, this is incredible. Wait until I tell everyone in the Frog Scout troop about this.

*Folds the Scout suit and puts it in his backpack*

Ok, I'm ready to go looking.

[The Count]

You know... When we get to the jungle, I have to go meet my doctor. *Echoes from the crowd.
Yes that's fright, my witch doctor. Seems he has a shrunken head case he wants to show me. Wonder if it'll be Marvin Suggs's again.

[redBoobergurl]

DRUM STICKS!! Yeaaaaaa *starts banging on Fozzie's head*

Ahhh! Animal, knock it off! I know it seems I have a hollow head at times, but I'm not a drum! Now, I should start reading these jokes so I will be prepared to use them. I'm so glad Kermit's here now. I feel safer when he's around!

[Erine81981]

Ahhh! Animal, knock it off! I know it seems I have a hollow head at times, but I'm not a drum!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.....

[Beauregard]

Hey, guys, guys. Remember what Skeeter said.

These tools can be dangerous. Animal, don't use them on Fozzie's head. Fozzie, if you read the jokes now, maybe it'll be you that can't move.

Okay, people. Let's get back in the bus and head for the jungle.

Uncle Deadly *shiver* if you have a contact with the, er, Doctor. Maybe we should start there. He might have drections to the Kookazsa tribe.

[The Count]

Well, all fright. Will call to let him know we're coming.
*Uncle Deadly calls witch doctor and sets up appointment for the Muppets.

OK, he'll see us this afternoon.

[christyb]

I don't have a very good feeling about this. Sheeesh.

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: The electric mayhem bus pulls up in front of the Witch Doctor's hut deep in the spreading jungle. Vines hang down from thick trees, and overhanging branches above. Dark green moss covers the ground, walls, and roof of the hut. The window-pains are cracked. Light seeps through the leafy foilage, and patches of light shift in the wind like mirror ghosts.

Er...this looks very, um, friednly. Boss, you wanna knock?

[christyb]

Me!!?? Well, alright. *knocks on the door* Hello?? Anyone home, this is Kermit the Frog and some friends and we had an...uh..appointment with the Witch Doctor?? Hello??

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: The door crakes open. A wizened face peaks out.

WD. Coooome in my deeears. And what preeeeey can I do fooor youuu?

*gulp*

Er, hi. We were, um, looking for the Kookazsa Tribe...

WD: I seeee. And whaaaat dooo youuu haf to offeeer for that informatioooon?

Er...my uncle owns a theatre. Well, he dosn't now, but he used to...

[christyb]

Offer...uh...give us a minute. *turns around and whispers* So guys what do we have??

[Beauregard]

Um...*shrugs* I don't know. Anyone got any ideas?

[redBoobergurl]

Well I keep offering my whoopie cushion, but no one wants to take it. I think Piggy had some paper towels....

[christyb]

All right, and lemme guess, the wax lips are in Zoot's other pants, and Pepe has some lose jell-o? Good Grief.

*turns to witch doctor*

Umm...Mr. Witch Doctor what would you like in return for the information we need??

[Erine81981]

*tarzan yell* COWAGBUNGA!!! *slams into a table with antidotes* Uh oh! *runs off behind Floyd*

[DanDanStrawberry]

Chickee!! Witchee dooctur wanna cheeckee!!! Cheeckee for a witchee doctoor?

[sugarbritchez]

*tries to hide all the jewlery she is wearing so the gang won't think of offering her things*

Ummmmm Kermie, I know this is a bad time, but I really need to go potty. Do you think the Doctor has a powder room?

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: The Witch Doctor swings at Animal.

WD: You shamefilled leeetle beast.

He turns to the Chef.

WD: A chicken? Whaaaat whould Ieeeh do with a chicken?

He points out the back.

WD: Sorry, hon. The bathroom's over that direction. Just follow the signs.

He turns back to the main gang.

WD: Ieeeh'll tell youuu what Ieeh am wanting in eeexchange. I'll take the claws of a lady tiger. You can find them in the clearing east't't' of the river. If youuuu bring'um them to meeeee, I will give youu directions. But, remember, nooo oneee else has the directions youuu seeks.

Er, wow. What'da you say guys? Wanna try this? Or shall we try brute force, I know what Skeeter would vote for, but, me, I'm not so sure. I don't like fighting people as strange as this man.

WD: Hisssss. *cough* Excuse me.

[redBoobergurl]

T...t...tigers? I don't know, I may be a bear, but...
But we have to find Skeeter and this may be our only hope in getting the information we need. I'll be brave. I'm in.

[T-Bird Chick]

i dont get it!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: Scooter's Girl. Please post all questians in the Role Play Game rule's thread found here: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=15183

If you are wanting to join the game please choose a character. Also, this character may NOT be Skeeter.

Thanks.

[The Count]

Hmmm, lady tiger claws. Well, I have harpy claws, dragon claws, griffin talons...
Lady tiger claws, from the one out by the eastern river? Hmm, lemme see one more time in my carry-along coffin.
*Checks and finds something. Got some Argentinian Sphinx's claws if that'll help. You guys know what sphinxes are fright? Well this one is from the South American country of Argentina. And it happens to have the head of a woman and the body of a tiger. So, will these do my old fiend?

[christyb]

I gotta hunch we need to go and find these claws. So Mr. Witch Doctor, which way to the river. We're kinda new in the neighborhood.

[sugarbritchez]

*Piggy finds her way down the hall to the bathroom, snooping along the way, looking for something that could help them*

I wonder if Scooter has lead on to my plan of trying to find some information inside the Witch Doctor's lair? Anyway........

*Piggy comes across a pile of old maps*

These may come in handy, I'll just stuff them in my purse and the doctor will never know......

*Joining the group back in the Witch Doctors' Parlor...whispers to Scooter...*

I have something to show you..........let's go outside

[Erine81981]

*sees Witch Doctor's daughter*

WO-MAN! WO-MAN! WO-MAN! *chases after her*

[christyb]

Animal get back here, down, back, sit, heel, Animal!! *turns to Witch Doctor* You'll have to fogive him. *to floyd* Floyd, do something!!!!

[Erine81981]

*still chasing her around the room* Ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha.... WOMAN!

[Beauregard]

WD: Get that creeeeture outta here! Alll of ye, get't't outta heeeere!


The Muppets gather back by the bus...

Great thinking Piggy. What have you got there? Maps?

Pass them over, let's get a look at them.

[christyb]

Ani-mal. Now look, you've made him mad. No telling what he'll do to us now.

[Erine81981]

*witch doc. daughter kicks Animal out the door*

SLAM! *into bus*

*gets up* That my kind of woman!

[Beauregard]

*takes the map from Piggy*

GAME MASTER: When opened, the map reveales a complicated route, but not to the Kookazsa tribe, but rather to the Lake of the Lady where the Lady Tigar's live.

The trail leads away from the Witch Doctor's house, down a steep bank, through winding thicket of trees, over a small hill, past the swamps of stinging bees (where the Muppets found bee stings were Ouch!) and up to a giant ravene with step edges and no way around...

This is where the Muppets stopped, got out of the Electric Mayhem bus and stared dismally across to the otehr side. There was no way under, no way around, you'd have to go over...but how? Could they all suddenly sprout wings?

This looks like...the first dead end...

And, Ouch! Those Bee stings still hurt!

[christyb]

I guess it's time to try these. *holds up flippers* I think I can hold two of you at a time. So who's first?

[Erine81981]

*grabs drum sticks* Not me! *twirls around and around and lifts up in the air and lands over on the other side* I beat ya'll! I beat ya'll! ha ha ha....

[christyb]

Too bad we don't have something that can calm him down.

[Beauregard]

*looks up in amazment*

Oh yeah! For a moment I thought we were defeted at the first hurdle.

How'd Skeeter know just what we'd need?

So, who has flying gadgets and can give others lifts?

[christyb]

Probably because she's done this before. And I believe the flippers that she gave me are the things that fly.

[Beauregard]

That's right. Also, Animal's drumsticks, but I don't suspect he'll take visitors. I'm sure the Swedish Chef can come up with something flyable from his set of utencils...

Robin could maybe hop over with his super Scout Suit. Also, Gonzo could use his cannon if he wants. Other than that, I think you're right, Kermit. You'll have to give us a lift over.

*looks down ravene*

Er...anyone want to go first?

[theprawncracker]

No way hokay! You need Pepe to charm the foxy lady tigers hokay. Let's send de bear he is very annoying.

[christyb]

Pepe we have to get across so we can get to the tiger. So are you coming or not?

[theprawncracker]

Si I am coming just not first. Hokay?

[christyb]

That's fine with me. Scooter you wanna jump on with Pepe? Since he's so small I think I can carry you both.

[The Count]

Hmmm, I wonder if Pepe would just sit herer in this brimming jacuzi.
*Camera pans over to show bubbling jacuzi.

[theprawncracker]

Jacuzi! Where?

No, no stay focused hokay.

Si I will ride with Scooter Kermin

[redBoobergurl]

I'll go next Kermit, I trust you, I'd rather swim with you than be fired out of Gonzo's cannon. Too bad my joke book doesn't have any jokes about flying.

[Beauregard]

Ok, Boss. I guess I'm good to go.

GAME MASTER: The Flipper-Flopper power up and sned Kermit, pepe and Scooter flying high above the ravene, above, above, above, higher, and higher, and doooooown into a looop-the-looooo(yiiiiikes!)ooop, and round, leveling off into a perfect landing.

*ker-splat...*

Ouch. Gonzo...would have loved that.

*calls out across the ravene*

Who's next?

[Beth C]

*pulls scout suit out of backpack and puts it on*

Oh, I sure hope this works.

*takes a powerfull HHHHOOOOOOOP! and lands safely on the other side*

Wow! That was fun! Uncle Kermit, can I do that again?

[The Count]

Well... SSeeing as how Pepe's already across and didn't fall for the jacuzi gag... I'll go next with you Kermit, and it seems as if Fozzie's ready too.

[christyb]

Great, I think I'm getting the hang of this hop on. *laughs* I crack myself up.

*Uncle Deadly and Fozzie hop on and Kermit takes off. He hits some air turblence and they go flying into a not so perfect landing*

Oh boy, a crash landing that was terrible.

[sugarbritchez]

*puts on gloves that Skeeter left for her*

Gosh I wish these would have come in lavendar....but I guess these black ones will have to do!

*jumps up and grabs a hold of a hanging vine and swings across and lands on top of Kermit*

Oh Kermie.......always there to catch me!

[christyb]

*moans, groans, and sounds of pain are muffled and coming from underneath Piggy*

[sugarbritchez]

Oh, hehehehehehe Sorry Kermie

*gets off of Kermit and straightens her Safari suit*

Is that everyone? Where to next?

[christyb]

*moans some more and get's up kinda dazed*

Is there a doctor in the jungle?

[sugarbritchez]

Watch it bucko or I'll give you something you will NEED the doctor for!

[christyb]

Huh? Who are you? *kermit has been struck with a slight form of amnesia!*

Side Note: Beau, I'm just running with this. So tell me to cut it out and I will :).

[redBoobergurl]

Yeah we're used to bad crash landings. At least we're on the other side. Now where do we go?

[sugarbritchez]

*pulls Kermit close to her and holds him*

Kermie, Kermie, Oh I'm so sorry.....I'm Piggy...your.......um........

Wife, yeah, I'm your wife.............

*looks around at everyone for their reaction*

[The Count]

*In response to Piggy looking around: Didn't say anything. Not my business.

Seems like there's only half of us here, the rest might want to stay with the bus till we get back with the lady tiger claws.

[christyb]

*headache is beginning to leave*

Piggy, what on earth are you saying??? We're not married. Oh my head.

[sugarbritchez]

:mad: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have no idea what you are talking about...Hee hee hee

*tries to get out of that one*

[christyb]

*shakes head, hops back over* Does anyone else wanna come with us or stay here with the bus?

[Beauregard]

GAME MASTER: At last the Muppets all get over, but Kermit's Flipper-Floppers are now comletely out of energy and can't be used again until we get back to the Witch Doctor's house. Robin has used his giant hop once, so he still has some energy. Piggy's gloves have also run out of some (but not all) of their energy, as have Animal's Drum Stitcks.

All the other side of the ravene, (minus the bus, of course) the Muppets dust themselves off and look back at the map. The trail now follows up over a large set of rocks, then there is a river and a plain where the Lady Tigar's can be found.

Climbing up the dusty edge of the rocks, they reach the summit and look down upon a gently sloping plain, where waving grasses grow long, and a rushing river flows fast and strong.

Also there are no tigars in sight.

Looking down below their feet, they discover fresh wet paw prints in the dust. Suddenly they don't feel so victorious about crossing the ravene. Especially as Kermit' Flipper-Floppers have no power to get them back...

Er, guys. Where're the tigars?

[christyb]

I dunno. *growling can be heard in the distance* but I think we're gonna find out.

[sugarbritchez]

I say we feed Fozzie to them...whatever they are!

[Beauregard]

....a rattle of stones, a scratch of a claw, a scream of a bird in the distence....

Um, Boss. Did you hear that?

...a breath of wind, a rustle in the grass...

...A ROAR!!!

Suddenly, terring, tumbling over the rocks come a pack of lady tigars.

What do we do?

The tigars charge

Run?

[christyb]

No, wait. Fozzie tell a joke. That paralyzes them right?? Or wait Pepe put them in a trance! Something just hurry!

[Beauregard]

Pepe, yes, Pepe. Maybe now would be a good time to use the body lotion. Piggy, quick. Close your eyes or you'll be caught by him too...

[christyb]

No, wait Piggy keep them open!!!

[redBoobergurl]

Aggg, I don't want to be tiger food!!!! Pepe hurry!

[sugarbritchez]

*closing eyes*

I certainly don't want to be attracted to that Shrimp! I only have eyes for you Kermie!

[christyb]

*mutters to self* That's what I was afraid of.

[sugarbritchez]

*eyes still closed*

Since I can't see Kermie, I am going to hold onto your hand until it is safe.

*Peeks one eye open at Kermit and grins*

[Beauregard]

The tigars charge as if in slow montion. Salava pours from their mouthes. Their claws throw dust and small rocks into the air as they run. Their flanks ripple with muscles beneith their stripped hide.

SKEETER! How did you survive these? Where are you? Oh, Skeeter! Pepe, move, come on.

[The Count]

Isn't there a way we can get out of this without using our gadgets? Hmmm, I have an idea. Hey Kermit, why don't you start singing that African song you sang on Sesame Street.
*Jumps out of the way into the shadows.
Come on, we'll help you start off.
*Starts singing: A-B-C.
Everybody, you know how it goes.

[Beauregard]

Good idea Count. At least we can stall them.

...where were we? Oh yes. D-E-F-G-H-I...er...

[christyb]

What??!! Uh... *tigers still approaching* This doesn't seem to be working.

[The Count]

Uh, that's Uncle Deadly, Scooter. Now don't make them mad with you.
*Points at the tigers rushing again.
Come on, it'll work, just let's everyone sing together.

*Gets to the following lines after a while.
Quiet rest-up, sleepy tigers, under the vine trees by the water's side.
Hey, look, they're starting to get sleepy. Let's finish the song so they'll fall asleep.

[theprawncracker]

So sorry hokay I had to use the little prawn's room so here's the body lotion hokay.

*Pepe applies the lotion and the tigers stop chasing the rest of the Muppets and start chasing Pepe*

Ai mios dios!!! Help Help me hokay! Someone use their gadget thingy and make it snappy hokay!

(no crustacean pun intended)

[christyb]

*wipes forehead* Whew! That was close. So is everyone still here??

[theprawncracker]

Si, Kermin I am still here hokay. But I am still being chased by tigers HELP ME HOKAY!

[Beth C]

*Thinks*

Wait!

*pulls out his frog scout book and thumbs through the chapters*

Look, see here it says that Tigar's are easily lulled to sleep by rhythmic clapping. *points to a paragraph*

So let's all get clapping.

*begins clapping out the tune to 'Another one bites the dust'*

[theprawncracker]

Si! Clap, clap like youv'e never clapped before! hokay?

[redBoobergurl]

I'm clapping as fast as my paws can go!

[Erine81981]

RIDE'EM TIGER-ANIMAL! (Pun: Cowboy) *rides around until Tiger gets tired from the clapping*

PLOP! *tiger falling down*

RIDE'EM AGAIN! AGAIN! Aha Ha ha ha ha ha......

[The Count]

Well... Now that the lady tigers are asleep... Just a matter of using my handy-dandy guillotine to clip their claws.
*Snip-snip, snipety-snip.

OK, got the claws, now let's get out of here before they wake up.

[Beauregard]

Wow. Guys, thanks for that. You are so kind helping me like this. Sorry about getting your name muddled their Count, high stress you see.

GAME MASTER: At last the Muppet have the claws, and must get back to the Witch Doctor's cabin, except, their flying gadgets are almost all out of power. How will they return?

*opens map*

Here, look. There another way around. Way down the river, there's a water fall that goes down the ravene, and then looks like a rope ladder goes up it again the other side. Shall we try that?

[Daffyfan2003]

RIDE'EM TIGER-ANIMAL! (Pun: Cowboy) *rides around until Tiger gets tired from the clapping*

PLOP! *tiger falling down*

RIDE'EM AGAIN! AGAIN! Aha Ha ha ha ha ha......

Animal, come here! Stop trying to ride that tiger! *sigh* Some days I think I should have just gotten a dog.

[Beauregard]

*to Piggy*

How much will you selel FooFoo to me for?

*to self*

So I can sell it on to Floyd with interest.

[christyb]

All right. That was easy. So back to the witch doctor?

[redBoobergurl]

Yeah, let's hurry before the tigers wake back up. I don't think I can clap anymore. I'm exhausted!

[christyb]

That and I don't know what they'll think when they wake up and find their claws missing. But one question....Anyone know how we can get across? My flippers are pooped.

[The Count]

Don't worry about the tigers, their claws will grow back in time.

Now then, how to get across the river... Or do we have to travel down the river and down the waterfalls too?
*Uncle Deadly ponders a few options waiting for Scooter or someone else to speak up.

[christyb]

Hmmm...maybe I could swim across. I don't think I can take any passengers though. *begins to swim across but is met by a not to friendly crocodile* Gaaahhhhh!!!! *swims back* Or maybe not.

[DanDanStrawberry]

*Chef dips toe in water*
Brrr!! Wartee goo freezee, raftee raftee needie- brrr, freezie-freezie!!

[The Count]

*Uncle Deadly gets an idea.
Hey Robin, can you jump from this side of the river across to the other side without your scout suit?

[Daffyfan2003]

*to Piggy*

How much will you selel FooFoo to me for?

*to self*

So I can sell it on to Floyd with interest.

Very funny, Scooter. Yes, I have good hearing.

[Beauregard]

Ok, guys. Good suggestion, but jumping the river isn't going to do us much good. The only thing to do is to build us a raft, and go down the waterfall, seems to me.

Beyond the rocks, and in the plain are several swinging trees. If they can be knocked down, they can be used as wood for a raft. Remember that apart from Kermit, the tool sare only part-out of energy. They can still be used again.

Any suggestions on cutting the trees down?

[christyb]

Chef you wouldn't happen to have a knife that can turn into an axe do ya??

[redBoobergurl]

Or Animal could use his drumsticks. But I agree, Chef, what utensils do you have that could cut down the trees?

[theprawncracker]

Si chef you should use your knifes hokay it would be very helpful.

[christyb]

Why don't some of us gather some vines to attach the logs while others chop down some trees. We really need to get moving.

[The Count]

Hmm, fancy that.
*Watches as the others gather vines and gets an idea.
Hmmm, I know... I'll just...
*Applies small amounts of sweetened water from the river on the trees. OK boys, time to go to work.
*Releases termites who chew down the trees and chew the bark and knobs, leaving perfect planks of wood.

All fright, that's enough.
*Catches termites again before they devour the planks.
Hey sScooter, got the wood we needed for the raft and...

[christyb]

Or we could do it that way. That works too. Great job Uncle Deadly!

[The Count]

*Doubled over at the river side.
Oooooh, not again. Sorry guys, but I get these acid bursts from time to time.
I'll be fine in a little while. Go on without me, I'll hitch a ride on the ghost ship later and meet you back at the WD's hut.

[Erine81981]

Animal, come here! Stop trying to ride that tiger! *sigh* Some days I think I should have just gotten a dog.

*starts acting like a dog* ARF ARF BARK BARK BARK!! *licks Floyd's face* ARF ARF BARK BARK ARF!!

[redBoobergurl]

Here Kermit, I gathered lots of vines. I'm not sure how well I'll tie them together, my paws get all tangled.

[Beauregard]

Uncle Deadly *shiver* are you alright?

The Muppet's gathered the wood together, and strung them with vines, plank to plank, to plank. They needed some holes in the wood here and there for the final tying process.

Hey, Swedish Chef? Can we borrow your egg-whisks? Thanks.

Using the whisks, they bored holes through the planks, and laced them with the vines to create a long flat platform of boards.

Are we sure we wanna do this?

A low growl, snapped them back to the present. The tigars were waking up.

Together the Muppets through the raft into the river, and all who could, and wanted to, leapt on. Surprisingly the raft held together...at least at first.

Er, guys. You hear that rushing sound? I think it's the *gulp* water fall and we're comign up fast.

[The Count]

*After another brief acid burst, Uncle Deadly slips into the shadows waiting for the ghost ship.
*Around midnight, the ghost ship emerges onto the river, and approaches the spot where Uncle Deadly waits.
*Signaling them with a small glowing skull from his carry-along coffin, the ship stops and picks up their passenger before continuing down the river and down the waterfall.

OK guys, just need a lift to the spot where the river nears the WD's hut. Oh, and if you see any of my friends, LMK we could give them a lift if their little raft didn't survive the fall.

*starts acting like a dog* ARF ARF BARK BARK BARK!! *licks Floyd's face* ARF ARF BARK BARK ARF!!

Cut it out, Animal. We have to concentrate on getting across this lake.

[redBoobergurl]

Are we going down the waterfall? I'm so afraid of water!!!!

[Beauregard]

We're going down right...now.

Rafts goes over the edge, and the Muppet find themselves falling, falling, like flying. Air and water rushing right past them, as they plummet.

Ahhhhhh-hhhh!

[DanDanStrawberry]

Mee bee fallee!! Wee, fallee!!!

[christyb]

Hang on guys!!!! *screams*

[sugarbritchez]

*trying to keep her safari suit from flying up..Piggy is tumbling at a more rapid rate than the others*

SPLASH

*She falls into the water below...........apparantly knock out from the fall and is floating on top of the water*

Will anyone save her? Will her true love come to her rescue? Will the kiss from her Prince Charming break the spell.....LOL

[sugarbritchez]

*still knocked out down here*

Time passes slowly as the others fall in slow frame motion behind her........

[Daffyfan2003]

That's strange. I figured it would take hours for someone as heavy as Miss Piggy to sink. Ha ha!

[Beauregard]

The raft hits the river and shatters, throwng all the Muppets into the water raging torrent of water. Wet furred, they thrash about.

*gulpping water*

A little help would be nice. We need to get to the edge. Why dosn't my uncle own this river...

[Erine81981]

*grabs a limb hanging out of the waterfall and grabs Floyd*

I save you. *looks at Floyd* :halo:

[The Count]

Hmmm, wonder if my Muppet friends made it to the WD's hut already.

What's that? Yes, I'll have the shrimp-kabobs please.
*Orderly sails through the ship to the galleys.

[theprawncracker]

Good thing King Prawns can swim. Hokay? If not I'd be the next fish and king prawn platter at Long John Silvers. Hokay?

[Beauregard]

*breaks the surface, and swims towards the shore*

*thinks of Skeeter and takes smooth broad strokes, wishing was as athletic as she*

*sees Robin, and scoops him up as goes by*

*climbs out of the river onto the bank*

*colapses panting*

[Erine81981]

*limb breaks* UH OH! AUUGGGGUUUUGGGHHH!!!!! *falls on Floyd who lands on Piggy who then wakes up* (SPLASH!) OUCH! That hurt. *growls* I HATE BATH!

[redBoobergurl]

I hate water! I can't swim! I hate water! I can't....wait a sec, I'm swimming! I can swim! I didn't know bears could swim! Hey guys look at me I'm swimming! I must be somehow distantly related to the polar bear....oh well, I'd better get to shore. *heads towards shore after Scooter and others*

[The Count]

*From inside the cold bowells of the ship...

Hmm, I wonder if the rest of the gang made it to the WD's hut already.
Oh well, I'm sure they're OK.
All fright, bets to you Stoney.
*Camera shows Uncle Deadly playing cards with a couple of fiends.

[Beauregard]

After the Muppets all manage, amazingly,. to get out of the water. They head, dripping wet, to the rope-ladders....They've rotted. Every last on has rotted away and fallen.

*sigh*

Do you think Uncle Deadly *shiver* has rom on his *shiver* ghost ship?

[The Count]

Hmmm, I wonder what the rope ladders were needed for in the first place. Then again, if the gang wants to come onboard, there's always room for a few more souls.
*Starts laughing.

*looks at Floyd* Ok ok ok. *climbs aboard* Ship......nicccceeee.

[Daffyfan2003]

*looks at Floyd* Ok ok ok. *climbs aboard* Ship......nicccceeee.

Hey, slow down, Animal and wait for the rest of us!

[The Count]

So, is everyone coming onboard? There might be a river route this ol' ship can take straight back to the WD's hut. But then again, you fellows might prefer to travel on foot. Well, let us know if you'll be coming aboard and we'll make some room for some more souls.
