Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Claudia rushes back inside and feels a sudden chill go down her spine. Her thoughts are clouded from sheer panic as she wraps herself in a warm comforting blanket. Bunsen shivers a bit "Alex probably left the window open again." he assures her weakly with a bit of a shaky voice. "We probably are just suffering a bad case of the spooks." He spoke once again with a firm smile.They do not see the figure flashing through the hall. Beaker, on the other hand does and begins to shake even more. Quietly, does the little assistant walk out from the safety of the room without Claudia's knowledge. "Meep?" He closes the door behind him and spots the room. "Meee?" he calls again but suddenly the door shuts with a loud slam. He rushes to knock on any door in search of help holding a panic struck face "ALEXMEEMEE! MEEEEMEEE!" .*

Ryan: *stretches* I'm gonna have to get my sleep schedule back to normal soon...
Gonzo: Don't say it!
Ryan: *sigh* School's starting in a week...
Gonzo: No!
Ryan: Yeah...
Gonzo: It's not fair!
Ryan: Tell me about it. And it sounds like we're all vacating again at the end of the month. Hope Lisa will wanna stay on the roof again, that was fun.
Uncle Deadly: Fun for whom?
Ryan: You know what I mean.
Uncle Deadly: It's hard not to, living with you for all this time.
Ryan: *smirks* You know you love it.
Uncle Deadly: *eyebrow raise* And I thought you knew me.

 

[The Count]

Yeah... And I think it'll be toughest for you Prawny. You know that the choices for roomies will be determined on a first come/first serve basis, and practically every Muppet will be available for everyone once again. Might have to call in a conference depending on who you choose this time around though, eh, we'll see what happens.

*Off to plot next fanfic with the gofer.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

*Opens door and takes the pint of pineapple gelato after exchanging some coinage with Erin. Oh, that's just a bit of creative artwork Claudia and I are dealing in, there's one I'd like to share, but not until KG Chapter 52 gets posted. And I happen to have a short fanfic in mind for that gofer, even have a nice punny title that ought to do his mentor proud.

But those plans can keep till later... *Knowing smile as he tells Erin she can PM me if interested on getting the scoop, her choice, blue raspberry or news.

Erin: Duly noted. Thank you, both for the info and for your custom. (pockets the gelato fee and looks up) Guys, it's not about you.

(up in heaven)

Jerry: So I can't make them do crunches. Pity.
Jim: Now, Jerry, you were our head writer, not our personal fitness trainer.
(Richard flies by, carrying a basketball and wearing a whistle on a lanyard)
Jerry: And where are you off to, young Richard?
Richard: I'm supposed to meet Ryan White and a few others for a pick-up game in a bit.

 

[The Count]

Ungh... Stuff's a waiting to be done... And yet, the power of procrastination compels me...
Oh well, it "wil" get done. Maybe I shoulda talked myself outta this precarious situation... Nah.
*Goes back to doing whatever it was I was doing earlier... Pretty much nothing at all.

 

[Beakerfan]

*Floyd and Pepe scurry out the door of room 42 and quickly shut it*
Floyd: Whadda we do? We can't just LEAVE her like that!
Pepe: We run! That is what we do hokay! We CAN leave her like that! Animal can handle her hokay!
Floyd: We don't have anywhere to go meathead! Besides, how will she eat, or shower?
Pepe: That is not hup to us, hokay?
Floyd: We need help....
Pepe: From who?
Floyd: Someone who has experience in this area....
Pepe: Hokay hokay hokay I got it! Uhhh, who is this?
Floyd: We need Ed and the Count! I mean, the Count's a vampire, right? So he oughtta know what to do about her, um, condition?
Pepe: But vampires and werewolves are two different theengs, hokay?
Floyd: Well, they've gotta know somethin!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*the door swings open to reveal a frustrated Alex chained to her bed, gashes across her face and torso. As Animal tries to calm her, she growls at him. Animal jumps back and runs out the door.*

*Alex begins howling*

 

[The Count]

Um... Not gonna make a joke that I could here, hokay.
Alex... She's awhat-wolf now? Oh well... Hmmm, will have to chat with Maddie and some other sources, there's always Patricia at the Mystery & Myths Shop... Better round up the troops.
*Makes a few calls assembling the haunting party.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (on phone) Yes, Ed, right away. (hangs up) Alex is a werewolf!
Storyteller: She's been like that for the last three hours or so...something's got to be done.
Nora: Erin, get the garlic!
Erin: No! Garlic's for vampires...for werewolves, and for anyone with lycanthropy, you need silver! (runs off to kitchen, and starts rattling around in the chest of good silverware) Nora! I've got a pot of wolfsbane growing on the sill in my room! Clip off five or six large sprigs, will you?
Nora: (gulp) Silver and wolfsbane?
Erin: Silver's supposed to repel were-beasts, according to the King's Quest games. The wolfsbane is for us.
(nervously emerges from kitchen, wielding a silver cake cutter, a salad fork and a large serving spoon)
Storyteller: I'll bring my sun lamp!
(Nora emerges with wolfsbane)
Erin: All right - everyone grab a sprig and rub it all over yourself. (they do so)
Nora: I'm still not sure...did you also learn this from King's Quest?
Erin: Yeah, one of the unofficial fan-made games. (pause) Let's go.

(They dash off to 42. Meanwhile, up in heaven...)

Richard: (singing) He's the hairy-handed gent, who ran amuck in Kent...lately he's been overheard in Mayfair...better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out, Jim...
Jim: Pardon?
Richard: It's part of the song. (sings again) Ah-ooo, werewolves of London...

 

[ZootyCutie]

*hangs up phone* Guys, we got a mission.

Dr. Teeth: So, what it is?

Alex has become a werewolf. We got to help.

Janice: I feel all light-headed. *faints*

Okay, so it's up to us to help her. We need my reading lamp, to protect us, silver bullets to destroy the cause, and these brown Ghostbusters jumpsuits, because they were the only thing I could think of. Okay guys, you ready?

Dr. Teeth: Yep.

Lips: Yep.

Zoot: I'm staying with Janice.

Okay, it's just the three of us. Just to be safe, let's wear our Friendternal Helmet Wearers helmets. Now, let's go save a dormie!

 

[The Count]

Hmmm... For some reason I thought Richard would be singing "Wotcher Knocked 'Em In The Old Kent Road".
So... Wolfsbane, yes. But rubbing it on yourselves? Never heard of that. *Gets a call and instructions from Patricia (a.k.a. cherrypotion37) and jots them down. OK thanks. *Hangs up.

Count... Get that ol' cauldron of ours out, we need to make us a brew.
Count: Vonderful! Ve haven't had one of those in ages.
Mmm... Got the wolfsbane Nora left, also picked some night-blooming jazmin, moonflower, mandrake root, and a sliver of tannis root. We'll also be needing a clipping of bat's claw and a hair of the wolf itself... Good thing Animal had some in him from tangling with his former bunkmate.
*Plops ingredients, swirls them around thrice clockwise. Ah, you know, I really think I could've loved Potions class in my own silent way.
*The liquid turns a palid lunitone white, just before it bubbles over filling the silver ladled goblet with its frothy foam.
OK Count, take this upstairs to Alex and make sure she drinks it all up.
Count: Fright, and she has to drink it from the silver cup itself?
Yes, that's one of the um, saferways to cure a person of their eminent licanthropy.

As the master vampire counter leaves, Ed sits to think about his own little world of haunters. Hmm, that might not be a bad idea, but I have to talk to Sean and temper it a bit.
