MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

[The Count]

*Bursts through the trapdoor separating our room from Caitlyn's directly above.

Cait! We needs your robot man to sound the alarm! The town's on fire! FIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEE!

*Breaks into evil voice: I am the god of Heck and I bring you...
Fire!

Oh no. Oh no.
*Music plays in the background.

*Clutches at air. What'll we do now that Phoenix has launched into her worst cosmic fireball attack yet?
Jim save us all!

*Conks out onto the floor before his roomies drag him back out.
Count: Sorry about that, the lack of creating new spooks has driven him a bit batty.
UD: Not to mention playing that Castle Age game on FB and Kelly's latest pageturner...
*Both leave the way Ed came, shutting the trapdoor behind them.

 

[Gelfling Girl]

*random music number*

Floyd: I hate this place,
I can barely keep the misery off my face,
Yeah there's one place I'd rather be,
Taking Transfiguration and arithmancy,
And hanging with my friends in the Owlery,
But instead I'm learning parts of speech,
And trying not to fall asleep,
And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me,
Maggie: It's so grotesque,
When the guy sitting next to me drools all over his desk,
And I almost raise my hand to complain,
But then I realize I wanna be doin' the same,
So I put my head down on my desk as well,
And suddenly I'm learning a spell,
To make my teacher's head swell,
But then he wakes me up,
And I cant help but yell,
ENGORGIO!

Delilah: This isn't Hogwarts this is a concrete box,
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if your not cool,
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
Aly: And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised,
I'd be wearing wizard robes of gold and red,
I'm not sayin' I'm not proud to be a nerd,
But public school ain't no place for a wizard

Annie Sue: Y'know whats gross,
When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast,
But as I ate it anyway I overheard,
This guy I hardly know callin' me a nerd,
So I cast "Sectum Sempra" on him inside my mind,
I wish there were house elves makin' my food,
And everything was perfectly spiced,
And the only one being rude was the poltergeist,
Floyd: And here's what's true,
I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school,
I'd even call Delores Umbridge my friend,
If it meant I'd never have to go to gym again,
But I look around at all of this that's part of my life,
No ghost stalkin' the halls,
Or hangin' in the bathroom stalls,
And the stairs don't move,
cause there's no stairs at all.

Delilah: This isn't Hogwarts this is a concrete box,
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
And they don't put you in Hufflepuff if your not cool,
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
Aly: And I think if I looked into the Mirror of Erised,
I'd be wearing wizard robes of gold and red,
I'm not sayin' I'm not proud to be a nerd,
But public school ain't no place for a wizard
Yeah, public school ain't no place for a wizard!

 

[Katzi428]

Ahhhh...life is GOOD! twirling and nearly knocking over Groverwho catches me
Grover:My goodness Kathy! You could have fallen and hurt yourself if I didn't catch you!Are you all right?
Oh Grover..I'm fantastic! I'm finally feeling better thanks to the new doctor I have.Christmas is coming & I'm excited about that!
Prairie: You're still going to Disney World for Christmas,right?
Nope.Plans got changed.
Rosita:Going to see your family in New York?
Nope.I'll see them in January though when my nephew gets baptized.
Grover:Staying home for Christmas?
Nope.Give up?
A chorus of "yes"' s &"Tell us!"
My mom,sister & I are going on a cruise!
Prairie:WHAT?
Rosita:Oh WOW!
Grover:Oh KATHY!How FUN!
We gather in a group hug
Prairie:I'm so happy for you!When did you find out about the cruise?
Yesterday morning.My mom said that we weren't going to go to Disney World after all.She had this look in her eyes where I knew something was up.Then she said that we were going on the cruise instead.
Grover:Boy,Kathy!Your mommy sure is sneaky!
Yeah...I'd say so.We'll all exchange presents before I go,if that's all right with you.
They all agree

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

In Room 19, the gang is gathered around the television set...

Tosh: Hey Kim, wasn't this number on The Muppet Show once?
Kim: Yup; the Ruth Buzzi episode. She and Sweetums sang it together.
Gillis: These young men are amazing! Such wonderful music...and without instruments!
Mimzy: Wha- they're leaving? It can't be over already; it just started!
Kim: Don't worry, Mimz; this is just an intermission-slash-commercial break. They'll be back in about five or so minutes.
Gillis: (gasps) They're playing Chicago in April! Oh, we have to go!
Boober: (scoffs) Good luck. Those tickets they're offering with those pledge contributions are probably going fast, if they're not gone already.
Tosh: Oh, Boober!
Mimzy: (at the same time) Such a downer!
Kim: Hate to admit it, but he's right. This (motions to the TV screen) is probably the closest we're going to get to seeing these guys live.
Group: (sigh)

*Downstairs...

*Watching the football game finish up.
UD: Elation.
*A ragged cry of Nevermoooooore! ! ! can be heard.
UD: Jubilation.
*Fists pump upwards, staying low enough so as to avoid the ceiling fan.

*Huggles anything within reach, especially my Auguravyn Pokemon plush.

 

[Katzi428]

waving a package They came! They finally came!
Prairie stringing some popcornWhat came,Kath?OUCH!Stupid needle!Be right back..I need a band aid. she goes off sucking her finger.
Grover:Ooh..poor Prairie! I better go if she is all right!
Yeah..that looked like it smarted.I shouldn't have come in and startled you all like that.I put my package down and go in to Prairie. I didn't mean to scare you,Prairie
Prairie: Oh..you didn't scare me,Kath.I'm just a fumble fingers when it comes to small things.
Is your finger all right?
Prairie:Yeah.Feels better now.Now what finally came?
Rosita:That looks like it's a Christmas present.
Kind of,Rosita.To me from me.
Rosita:What?
laughing a bit See...I ordered these CDs several weeks ago.I was going to buy them in the store itself but they were out of them.So I had to order them Online.And they just came.The artist is called Mannheim Steamroller.
Grover:Steamroller? Sounds like a group Herry would like since it's got a steamroller.Is it hard rock,Kathy?
You would think so.huh Grover? It doesn't have a steamroller.It's like modern classical.I first heard it about 10 years ago or so.Some ice skaters were skating to Mannheim Steamroller's "Silent Night" & it was so beautiful that I was hooked!

(OOC:The above is true about how I got hooked onto Mannheim Steamroller: They had played Silent Night during one of the tree lightings at Rockefeller Center. )

*Trying to wait patiently for Erin's reply to a PM sent on the weekend to keep rolling with ma' babies.

Ooohhh....Thanks Ed! This looks delicious! Of course I'll share with Prairie Grover & Rosita. Right now we're listening to The Gift Of The Magi Sesame Street style.
Grover:Mr Hooper was so nice!
Prairie:He sure was. You would have liked him Rosita. You too,Kath.
I heard he was really kind!
Rosita:Yeah...me too!Didn't Big Bird sometimes get his name mixed up?
Prairie:Yeah...but Mr. Hooper was patient.

 

[The Count]

Night all. *Huggles to Kathy.

 

[The Count]
