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)...
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...
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...
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...
(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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
(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...
(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...
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...
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)
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...
