MC Dorms: Sorry, We're Closed Take 2

[The Count]

*Upon hearing the name Mittens...

Joe Donn Baker is Mittens!

 

[Beauregard]

Beau: *up the tree, picking apples* Morning! *picks a pair from the apple tree* ...that's odd... *no it's not, it's a pair of apples* Ahh...Ri-ght. *mmhmmm* Am I talking to the narrator again? *sure* Oo-kay.

Cotterpin and Pearl (tapping their feet as they wait for Kelly to show up)

Kelly (beaming): Hi!

Cotterpin and Pearl: So, how did it go?

Kelly (shows them): Aren't they just ADORABLE? The little brown Lab boy is Bear, and the little black Lab girl is Sarah. Sarah, at least, is named after the Labyrinth character ... and she sounds like a spoiled princess.

 

[The Count]

Wonder what Cait thought of all the songs we sent.
Count: Maybe it'll inspire her to post an update to her story.
We can only hope. I do know her story has inspired a future addition of my own. *Evil grin.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (calmly walks by, oblivious): Hey! Who threw a perfectly good box of Cheez-Its? I LOVE Cheez-Its! *opens box and scarfs them all down*

Cotterpin (still looking at pictures of cute little adorable puppies, to Newsie): Hey, um, Newsie, right? Haven't managed to see you in awhile! You're looking good. In about two weeks, you can help us hug and squeeze and call "George" some Lab puppies....

 

[The Count]

Just finished ridding the place of s'more jerks—bogus accounts that is. Hope Slug comes through with that request. *Dials out for dinner.

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sits on the ground, stone-faced*

Animal: *quietly sits next to her and heaves a heavy sigh*

Alex: *continues to sit*

Animal: *comfortingly puts his arm around Alex's shoulder*

Alex: *begins to sob and buries her face in Animal's chest*

Animal: *holds her quietly* Bad day.... *SIGH*

 

[RedPiggy]

*Kelly stumbles back into view for a brief visit*

Cotterpin (sipping some iced tea on a Doozer-sized lawn chair, complete with mini-umbrella): Look what the cat dragged in ...

Kelly (mumbles): Dog, actually.

Pearl (also drinking tea, the Long Island kind): So, how are your new lil' young'uns?

Kelly (nods): When they're not trying to fix each other, they get along just swell.

Cotterpin: Fix?

Pearl (to Cotterpin): Not with glue, sugah. Just let it go at that.

Cotterpin: O_O

Kelly: I might actually get some decent sleep during the weekend. My brother (the one who BOUGHT them) is off on the weekends.

Pearl: How long ya been up so far?

Kelly (checks watch): 21 hours? Today, anyway.

Pearl: Ouch.

Cotterpin: Pffbt. Big deal. That's what, half a shift?

Kelly: Liar.

 

[The Count]

*Leaves to watch playoffs.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (has definitely been up too long): Play off what?

Cotterpin and Pearl (facepalm)
