Um... So would you at least be able to search for Fughetta on Muppet Wiki and provide a good full descript of her for me? If so, that'd be great as it's the main holding block preventing this from going forward. If not, that's okay too. Thanks for your continued interest and support Beth. *Hugs and welcome back from your friend's wedding.

Character Entry #15.
Name: Fughetta Faffner.
Favorite I-Scream Flavor: Walnutcracker Suite.
Likes: Listening to music, inspiring others to create their own whether vocally or by means of instruments.
Dislikes: Getting stuck midwall due to losing herself in the music.
*Scaring Talent: Sound of Silence:
1st Stanza: Ghost Invisibility.
2nd Stanza: Haunting Hour Halt.
3rd Stanza: Rauckus Reawakening.

Appearance:
As the grand ghostly lady of Faffner Hall, Fughetta looms large thanks to her tall stately floating figure. Etherial ghostly blue-whitened skin covers her entire beautiful body. The same pallor is shared by her squarish Muppetlike head, eyelids, long yet pointy nose, small round ears, and tight lips. She happens to have small round beady white-pupiled eyes instead of the traditional black, a clear Muppet inner mouth, and a few wrinkles upon her cheeks. Silvery white hair styled into a bun atop the back of her head, few curls framing her face as well as hiding her ears, and curly eyelashes complete her facial profile. Along with a vertically oblong humanoid body, she has two graceful arms ending in five fingers and a sort of connically-ending ghostly tail at the end of her lower torso. Her wardrobe consists mainly of an elegant 19th century white Victorian era dress. Poofy sleeves cuffed by lace ruffles compliment the lace ruffled high collar and many hemmed layers of the dress's skirt. The lowermost layer of the skirt stretches out behind her, resembling a long train, decked with arched lace ruffles as this fold of fabric helps conceal her ghostly tail. Finally, a pair of white elbow-length gloves add an accent of operatic class to this music hall haunter.

Backstory:
Originally, she was the owner of Faffner Hall delighting in providing a harmonious haven for composers of differing musical schools. She would dine with the great classic singers and give singing lessons to starlets upon request, schmoozing yet eating it all up at the same time. When she died, many were worried what would happen to the concert conservatory, the one place where her spirit resonated loudest and truest. After some time,a distant relative purchased the rights to this hall... Awakening the voice of his long-lost namesake. Fughetta ceased time so she could have a chat with this musically-challenged mind, restoring the flow of temporality on the understanding so as not to have the magic of the music leave her haunt again. Because of this, there is always some new sound to be found. Thrilling to infant tunes, Fughetta sometimes unwittingly unleashes her 1st Stanza scaring talent... Which gets her in trouble, as it moves her to the point her mind wanders... And unlike most ghosts, she changes back from etherial to solid, finding herself partially encased in a concrete corridor. Hearing of the gathering in Numbervania, she drops in from time to time to give a listen to the voices' creepy choir, and of course lend hers to the cause if she likes the monsters' melody before leaving a trail of musiclines en route back to her ancestral home.

Counting Scene:
Amongst the places to procure a good meal in town, we find the upscale restaurant named the Midnight Belfry. This home houses a dance hall, reserved whenever the neighbors plan a pcelebration of great import—yielding to some sillyness indulged by the revelers like boogying the night away. The center ceiling spot is hung with a classy chandelier which Fughetta nears when gliding through town. She admires the dangling crystal shards, refraining from disturbing their ordinary positioning. After a brief inspection, humming issues, the shards respond creating a haunting hymn influenced by her musical training. She pauses for a moment as if sensing the signature stormy sphere approaching—marked by its blackened 15—continuing on with her impromptu concert as the ghostly lady gets added to the Counting Castle's cast of souls.

Character Entry #16.
Name: Shriekcy the Batty Queen.
Favorite I-Scream Flavor: Boo Raspberry Sorbet.
Likes: Filing her nails, morgued cup of coffee, and sorting away any little nuisances at the office.
Dislikes: Anyone who pesters her at her job, quickly becoming one of those little nuisances she needs to sort out.
*Scaring Talent: Showgirl Shimmer.

Appearance:
Due to her "little accident" she is now one of the neighbors found in Numbervania. Upon passing from one plane to the next, her human skin took on a bootiful shade of deadened blue. This pallor permeates her eyelids, nose, ears, limbs, and pretty much her entire overall body. Done up in a classic beehive hairdo, her bright red hair is another of her trademark qualities. Bright red eyebrows arc softly above her expressive round black-pupiled eyes, complimented by short yet flirty eyelashes. Bright red lipstick-painted lips and the red blood trickling from her self-slit wrists provide the only remaining bits of contrasting color. She has five digits on her hands and feet, as she is an almost otherwise normal human with nimble arms and shapely legs. She is all woman, and the somewhat tight-worn solid silver blue onepiece swimsuit proves this fact (Pushing her prominent pecs up and slightly outwards). Shimmering silvery blue evening gloves of satin and pageant slippers of suede, along with a shortened skirt attached to the swimsuit so she can show off her lovely lady legs are mostly everything in terms of her wardrobe. The red blood of her wrists does leak a little onto the gloves, but this is not enough so as to take away their shimmering sparkle. Finally, the vestages of her title are bestowed upon her... She wears a bat-eared tiara or crystaled crown twinkling even in twilight, and a satiny ghost white sash formally flowing down from her left shoulder to her right hip with the words "MISS SIX 'N' TEENA" written in black blocky lettering in opposing upwards-running fashion.

Backstory:
Originally, this lovely had been nominated to be heralded as the town's current counted covergirl. But when they found her form devoid of any warmth in the morning morgues, it was feared such hopes had been dashed. The chill she felt tinged her bodily, the blueness now claiming her physically before dawning her into the realm of creeps. Frustrated that such fame would not be hers, what remained was to find work in the city. Applying herself by making one of her very few amarous overtones, not to mention impress her would-be employer pressing herself comfortably against him in a private interview, she ended up being hired as personal secretary to Mr. Castle, known as one of the batty burgh's benefactors. Stocked with morgue coffee and a pert little nailfile, she now busies herself tending to office chores whether that means reading incoming mail or copying work-related documents or even crowing to be the boss of the external reception area as one attempts to approach the aforementioned foreman.

Counting Scene:
Shriekcy steps out from the shadows upon reaching the twilight light offered by the castle's grounded exterior fixtures. Two of the bats appear, flanking the newest arrival, as they are allowed to place the bat-eared tiara upon their sister's shampooed locks. Bowing in a graceful gesture before them, she gently pats the pair as well as the sweet thundercloud stamped with a black 16, all as the batty queen gets added to the Counting Castle's cast of souls.

Character Entry #17.
Name: Kelvin the Dragon.
Favorite I-Scream Flavor: Seventeen-Up Bubble-Up.
Likes: The number 17 and anything numerically related to this counted entity.
Dislikes: Ending up one short of his faved number when counting or chewing or casting his collectibles into arranged display order.
*Scaring Talent: SeptaDraco Thunderclap.

Appearance:
This, the first dragon within the castle's cast, appears to be slightly larger than the Count himself. Deadened golden-browned scales cover his entire body, save for a cartilagenous scaly underbelly of a lighter amber color. He has two straight though slightly curve-tipped burnt blackened horns, placed atop his head just above his floppy triangularly-rounded dragon ears. He has the standardMuppet round black-pupiled eyes, two darker gold-brown eyelids, a burnt blackened dragon's snout, sharp whitened teeth with two frontmost fangs, and a blazing reddened inner mouth. A short-stalked curving neck connects his rounded dragon Muppet head to a massive pear-shaped Muppetlike torso. He has two strong arms and two powerful legs, all ending in four-digit hands and feet, tipped with short smoked burnt blackened claws. He also has two deadened golden-brown dragon wings coming out from his back partially open and yet somewhat draped around his body, and a deadened golden-brown dragon's tail, etched thanks to two rows of small amber wingflap-shaped scales. He doesn't wear much in terms of wardrobe... A smoky reddish shirt covers most of the top half of his upper body, the sleeves marked by a myriad of darker 17's printed across the arms. Additionally, he wears a sleeveless blackened metallic armor suit fashioned jacket. His seventeened shirt-sleeved arms poke through the open sockets of the armored jacket, as the jacket cinches shut vertically thanks to a silverized chainlink zipper. Finally, he's often seen toting his precious, a lovingly-wraught white golden number 17.

Backstory:
Kelvin came into the world of mathematical monsters in an odd manner... His dragonling egg had been laid for seven days, taking another ten to hatch. This instilled in him an innate fondness for the number of his birth. Growing up in the forests, he hid out in caverns, sometimes associating with an errand traveling Fraggle. Originally, this dragon was a subject of the Kingdom of Fred, a land that treasured the number 17 as much as he did. Two heroes, a brave knight and his pogo-jumping cowboy pardner set out on a mission to retrieve the kingdom's prized possession. When asked politely, Kelvin was glad to share his own white golden trinket, returning to celebrate in the ensueing rebellations. Wishing he had it back, he asked the king of this faraway feifdom to restore the 17 as the overgrown reptile was its frightful owner. Leaving his friends behind, Kelvin sojourned to the land he had heard of only in passing... Numbervania would become his new haunting grounds, where he could collect lots of 17's, keeping them safe in his holed-up horde. The Count even gave him a shirt proclaiming the dragon keeper of all 17's, as this number was proudly printed at random intervals across the arms of the red-hued wrappings now enveloping the neighborhood's newest arrival. Prefering to live in the Forest of Fears, Kelvin feels perfectly at home here, watching out for weary travelers, offering them a respite inside his septadecimaled dwelling.

Counting Scene:
Maple-stained leaves sway back and forth, clinging to the trees' brittled branches as chilled eerie winds rustle them so. Kelvin comes forth, careful not to jostle any of these leaves from their precarious perch. Making deft use of his claws, he ravages the earth beneath him in an attempt to locate his buried treasure. Once he has claimed it, a bit of polish goes into cleaning up the white golden 17. He smiles at this—not to mention the black 17 denoting a freely floating stormy sphere—his dragonly wings and tail pounding the ground at the same time the cloud shoots off its bolted greeting, the dragon of the number 17 getting added to the Counting Castle's cast of souls.
