Cake! Thanks Ed! I could use a...heyyyyy...did you guys eat it already?

Rhonda: Well, you're never HERE so it would serve you right if we did.

Did you?

Rhonda: No. I did not.

*pokes head up from his laptop* Cake? We have cake? ...Sorry, was checking all the news feeds...

So if you two didn't...oh no.
*opening fridge, sees two shivering raggy tentacled things staring back with huge eyes* ...Great.

Pink: Mm. Grrrr-eat!
Blue: Nope nope nope nope nope. Eh-eh eh-eh.
Pink: Aww?
Blue: Not grrr-eat. Chick-en.

Chicken? *scowls* Not that tawdry fast-food place that's been all over the news!

Blue *holds up last bit of cake with frosting* Chick-en. Om. Nom nom nom. Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip uh-huh.

Thanks. Thanks, guys.

Pink: Wel-come. Uh huh. Uh huh.

I've been hearing some odd sounds in the foyer. I think we may have an infestation of wildebeest

Rhonda*peeking out front door* Nope. New neighbors. Wanna go say hi?

Sure. We can take them an empty cake plate. That's always useful.

Bobo: *sees Kris and gang* Hi. Are you guys residents, too?

Hubert: *sarcastically* Naw, they're just random people roaming around aimlessly in the building...

Bobo: You never know! My cousin's cave once got raided by a bunch of thieves.

Hubert: That was a cave! This building has hi-tech security! No one could get in here if they tried!

*penguin appears, aimlessly wonders around*

Hubert: Or not.

Hi...welcome to the neighborhood. Have an empty plate. It would have had cake on it, but the Martians ate it all. I'll be making pumpkin scones later, though, so if you like I'll bring 'em tomorrow.

Rhonda: You actually ASKED Bobo AND Beauregard to live with you? What, ya lose a bet? Experiment with HGTV ta see how much damage an apartment can actually take? How much they paying you?

Rhonda! *scowls at her; she ignores him* Ahem. Welcome to the building! Er...you won't be knocking down any walls, will you? I worry a little about the structural integrity of this place sometimes...though 'Pin says it's sound...

I'm sure they'll be just as respectful as every other resident, Newsie.

That's what I was afraid of...

[Hubert]

Hubert: Thank you for the plate. It'll go nicely in our kitchen. Dunno what a pumpkin scone is, but it sounds quite good. *to Rhonda* Of course I asked them, they haven't caused any destruction yet. *hears crash* Well, at least, very little.

Bobo: Ow!

Beau: Sorry! Just trying to get the tight spots!

Bobo: Why are you vacuuming at this hour?

Hubert: Anyway, we shouldn't be knocking down any walls...er, at least, nothing that won't be fixable...

 

[Hubert]

Bobo: I'm bored.

Hubert: Me too.

Bobo: Battleship?

Hubert: Sure.

*both get out Battleship set and set it up*

Hubert: You first.

Bobo: OK, A3.

Hubert: Miss. B8.

Bobo: Miss. J4.

Hubert: Miss. D7.

Bobo: Miss. C10.

Hubert: Miss. I1.

Bobo: You won? How?

Hubert: No, I1.

Bobo: You did not.

Hubert: No, I'm calling the letter I and the number 1.

Bobo: Oh. I knew that.

Rhonda: Where's Liam Neeson when ya need him to explain something, all cool and glinty? sigh...

Hey...check it out... *nudges rat*

Rhonda: What? *peers over at the Muppet asleep with his laptop open across his legs* Oh, man. Doesn't he know what can happen if that thing sits there too long?

It's okay...I don't want kids.

Rhonda: YOU...are very, very ill.

[Hubert]

Hubert: C9.

Bobo: What letter?

Hubert: C9.

Bobo: I'm seeing nine, but what is the letter?

*crash is heard from Beau's room*

Hubert: Goodness... *walks into Beau's room to see Beau underneath a pile of mops*

Beau: I'm OK!

Hubert: C'mon, let's clean up this mess.

Beau: That's what I was trying to do!

Hubert: That rat was right...I should call HGTV...

Beau: Do you want me to do that for you?

Hubert: Uh, no, Beau, just clean your room. *mumbles* Sheesh, I never thought I'd say that before I'm a father...

 

[The Count]

And that's how the Ghost of Mr. Hyde did it.
Ghost: And I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!
*Seals bad ghostie away in the containment unit.

 

[Hubert]

*Hubert and Beau stand outside bathroom door*

Hubert: Are you almost done in there?

Bobo: Not quite. I'm still taking my bubble bath.

Hubert: You've been doing that for the past two hours.

Bobo: My mother always said that good hygiene is important.

Hubert: *hears Bobo get out of tub* Finally...

Bobo: Not quite. I still have to brush my teeth.

Hubert: *hears Bobo finish brushing teeth* Good, good...now please exit the bathroom.

Plink. Plink. Plink.

Hubert: Sheesh...what are you doing now?

Bobo: Clipping my toenails. Good hygiene.

Hubert: *sighs*

Save those, Bobo, so no one tries to use 'em in a voodoo ritual against you.

Rhonda: Great. Give the bear IDEAS. Then again...since he doesn't already have any in that giant beehive of a skull...

Rat, snark someplace else.

Rhonda: Fine. *hops onto table* Shove over, I need to get on my Whiskr account...

This whole "social media" fad is beyond me. Why do people think their actions and thoughts will be of interest to total strangers?

Got me, Newsie. Why do some channels show nothing but narcissistic rednecks?

Err...*gamely* I don't know; why DO some channels--

Sweetie. Rhetorical.

Oh. Erm. I knew that.

You're so cute in pink.

AHEM. Are we watching Rock Center tonight?

Heck yeah. Only reason I missed last week was the Rifftrax show! And we'll grab some java chillers first so our brains will be completely hyped on sugary caffiene.

Rhonda: Did someone say java chiller? I knew you would.
