MC Dorms: 2009: Summer Vacation.

[The Count]

*Sees Kelly... Well, someone has to say it. Helllloooooooo nurse! *Leaves baggies with cookies made yesterday on dorms' residents doors.

 

[The Count]

*Checking online mailbox. Hmm, nothing yet from her. Oh well, she's never let me down before, I can wait.

*Count and Uncle D are viewing the designs for the kitchen repairs/updating.
*They jot down a couple of things they like, mindful of budgeting concerns and all manner of conveniences the kitchen should feature.

Kelly (flings a letter over in Ed's mailbox): You know, Deimos must be REALLY camera-shy. *sighs* Can't I just skip this semester and go straight to being employed?

Cotterpin (shakes head)

Kelly (melodramatically bawls): I want some MONEY! How am I supposed to make the world a better place without MOOLAH? Waaaaah!

Cotterpin (sighs, to anyone who will listen): If she tries to help the needy, she'll never get rich.

Kelly (sniffles): Yeah ... *sniff* ... as long as I can pay the bills and save up for retirement, the rest is gravy.

Cotterpin: Don't forget you need a new car.

Kelly (shrugs): I have air conditioning again. If it'll just last another year or two, I'll be happy.

 

[The Count]

Got it Kell. He must've also stumped the historians who wrote of the legends. Meh.

*Goes through potential list, satisfied with what we've got so far. We're gonna have to expand afterwards, but that's based on my own motivational driving force. *Grabs a cookie and contemplates how it'll look on his roommate's wall.

Beth: Swimsuit?
Red: Check!
Beth: Sweatshirt?
Red: Check! *thinks for a minute and then looks puzzled* Why would you need to pack both a swimsuit and a sweatshirt?
Beth: Well, this cabin is in Northern Minnesota. It will be warm during the day and cold at night. And really, the swimsuit is mostly for the hottub anyway
Red: Oh got it. Will I be cold if I swim in the lake?
Beth: You might, but you'd like the hottub, it'll warm you up
Red: Works for me!
*they go back to packing for a three day weekend getaway*

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (leaves a note on Beth's door): Hey, y'all have fun. I will try to forgive you for getting to be cool while I burn up in the South, LOL.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: We'll try to bring some cool weather back for you Kelly!

 

[The Count]

Don't forget to breathe... Both in and out!
Oh, and there are cookies for you on your doorknob, you might want to take those too.

 

[The Count]

*Meanwhile, in Room1...

You know, I was all set to work on turning the Swedish Chef into Henry the Eighth for Numbervania. But now...
Count: What happened?
Well, I sorta got distracted, thinking maybe it'd be better to have King Hungry the Eighth instead. But that brings up the question of what classic monster or mythic creature/being to turn the Chef into. Also, I'm not entirely sure about King Hungry.
Count: Vhy not ask Kelly for descript help?
I would... Hexcept there's rully no pic of him at the Wiki. She'd have to have either Volume 8 of the Sesame Street Library/Treasury books or the 1-2-3 Storybook on hand.

Oh well...

Pearl (stepping out of the shower in room 2): Hey, Cotterpin? You 'round here, hon?

Cotterpin: I'm in my room designing some new things for my Waldo statue ....

Pearl (enters Cotterpin's room): Have you seen Kelly 'round?

Cotterpin (momentarily stops drawing): Uh ... she went on a walk. She said she'd be gone for awhile. I think Hoggle went searching for Dr. Teeth to learn where he gets all that jewelry an' stuff.

Pearl: Well, she tol' me ta get that guy on the phone an' ask if he wants ta come.

Cotterpin: Spike?

Pearl (shakes her head): Naw, that other guy. Little pardner, 'bout yea big, with black horn-rimmed glasses.

Cotterpin (blinks): The journalist?

Pearl: Yeah, that's the guy. What's his name so I don't make a fool o' mahself?

Cotterpin: Hmm ... no one really knows. At least, I don't. Everyone just called him Newsie. Check his mother's house. He might be there.

Pearl (sighs)
