MC Dorms: 2009: Summer Vacation.

[The Count]

*Places an order to the Upper Crust Bakery. Just can't quit this craving I've... Yes, hello? Oh hi Mimi. So you're working there this summer? That's good. Listen, I was wondering... Would like to order a full strawberry shortcake. Berries? Yes. Whipped cream? No. Do you have softened meringue? Good, add that instead. Send it to the MC Dorms, Room #1. Thanks.
*Hangs up and awaits his sweet dessert.

Kelly (at the Scorched and Snowed saloon, flipping through the Dorms brochure): Hmm ...

Hoggle: Gots anything good here?

Kelly (nearly gags): Geez, Hoggle, don't do that! *blinks* How'd you get here?

Hoggle: I gots my ways.

Kelly (nods): Yeah, they got some good food. I just ordered some tacos.

Hoggle: What's the brochure for?

Kelly (shrugs): Been wondering about next semester. I've been thinking about things a lot. *sighs* I'll tell you in private back in the room. Walls have ears, y'know.

Hoggle (nods and orders some food)

*Mimi from Faffner Hall knocks on Room 1's door, carrying a big white box and humming a little ditty. The door creaks open as we admit her into our abode. The parcel is placed on our living room area table as money exchanges hands. We hug and say our goodbyes, mentioning she should knock on Room #19, if anyone's home at the moment.

Kelly (comes back with Hoggle to room 2 and goes to bed)

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (over at the park, dangling her feet in a pond): I need a sense of purpose.

Cotterpin (reading): Oh? Troubled by a sense of ennui?

Kelly (nods): My friends are always busy, and I only have, like three, here ... I just don't know what to do.

Cotterpin: You'll feel better when class starts back up at the end of August.

Kelly (sighs): Maybe. What should I do in the meantime?

Cotterpin: Maybe you should work at the saloon.

Kelly (nods): Yeah! I used to work in food service. That should keep me busy. *pats Cotterpin on the head* Thanks. Other than healthcare, restauranteering was my second love.

 

[The Count]

*Knocks on Room #2. Finding noone there as Kelly and Pin are at the park, and Pearl's probably auditioning acts at the saloon, helped by Hoggle...
*Leaves a slice of shortcake, with the following musical card for Kells.

When you're...
Really...
Feeling small...
And tears are in your eyes.
I'll dry them off.
Ooooh, I'm on your side.
Wooooooa, When times get rough.
And friends just can't be found.

Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out.
When you're on the street.
When evening falls so hard.
I'll come for you.
I'll take your palm.
Mmmmm, when darkness comes.
And pain is all around.

Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down.

Sail on, silver bird.
Sail all night.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Wooooooa, don't they fined.
And sailing out behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will ease your mind...
Like a bridge over troubled water.
I will ease your miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind.

Hoggle (opens the door and reads and listens to the card): Gee, Ed ... I'm flattered, but I don't think I likes ya that partic'lar way. *sticks out tongue and cackles* Thanks fer the card, though. She was considerin' not comin' back when the new semester shows up, but I tolds her ta think about it. I think she's just bored and depressed. She needs ta get out more.

 

[The Count]

*Looking at Hoggle through black specs... *Giving him the glare... Because you room with her I'll let it slide this time o prince. But another one like that and it's back to the bog with you. After all, I do have the power... *Taps bat-topped staff lightly, making the lights in the hall flicker slightly. Capice? Thought so. Oh, and give her this. *Tosses ticket to Half-Blood, a special showing on Saturday, at the Rainbow Connections Moviehouse located on Enigma Lane.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (enters the Dorm and shows up as Ed is talking to Hoggle): Hey, Ed, what's happenin'? Hoggle isn't getting into trouble, is he?

 

[The Count]

No, of corpse not. Left you a couple of things though, if you're interested.
