    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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)...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah - think of all he did get done when he was on Earth. They must have needed Muppets in heaven, and Muppet performers, too - and you know, sometimes I like to picture Richard sitting on a cloud, in halo and wings, doing a show for a group of child angels sitting around him. It's also fun...

    The RHLC!

    Wait - a fanfic in which Kermit dies? Now there's downcast for you. I know that in "The Honk of Honks," Gobo was initially invisible to Doc - wonder what happened to make Doc see him? Like I said - really need to see that episode. I want to see how Richard did, both in front of and behind...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    The RHLC!

    Well, the soup kitchen and thrift shop are good choices - as for me, I worked for the local literacy council over the summer. At the moment I'm working on a project for the local children's hospice. I really do want to see "The Honk of Honks." I want to know exactly how it's got Richard's...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    The RHLC!

    I know, it's that hissing laugh of Bunsen's..."tss-tss-tss-tss-tss..." Too true - Richard would have wanted to be involved in something that helped children, it seems. I can visualize him bringing some of his puppets to a children's hospital and cheering up a group of sick kids, that sort of...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah they are, 'cause of their shape. On a different topic: on the "Your Face!" site, I read that in addition to being a puppeteer and director, Richard also wrote a few scripts (including one of the proposed "Puppetman" scripts - but not the one that was taped). I thought that was kind of cool.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (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...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    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...

    First it was "She Works Hard for the Money," by Donna Summer. Now it's "Black Velvet," by Alannah Myles.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Storyteller: I think someone sneaked anchovies into this one. Erin: Those fiends...anchovies aren't even edible. Scooter: (shaking head) I know, they're all slimy - but my uncle loves them on his pizza. Especially with ham, boiled eggs, stewed tomatoes and pineapple. (entire table looks a tad...

    Erin: (opening door) Okay, thanks, how much do I owe you...right, here you are. (hands over money, takes pizza boxes) Guys, pizza's here! (gang goes into kitchen and sits down to eat)

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Here is what the room will look like once everything is decorated - and once the occupants have had their pizza. You come in through the door and enter the common room. The room is furnished with a sofa, a few squashy armchairs and bean bag chairs, a coffee table, an old-fashioned radio (plays...
