Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*In voice: Oh good. *Leaves notes on Kathy's, Kyle's, and Erin's for them and their roomies to join us for lunch at Everybody Eats. Methinks some might show up at late afternoon time. Good thing the restaurant's near/next to the Pinball Count X-Cade.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Well, we'd better bundle up before heading out to the restaurant. It's snowing again
Red: Yay! I love the snow!
Abby: Me too!
*the roomies start the process of bundling up to go outside to Everybody Eats*

OOC: It really is snowing like crazy here in MN right now, looks like a snow globe was shook up!

 

[Fragglemuppet]

OoC: Oh man, I'm jealous!

Alright boys, ready to head out?
Wembley: Yep, ready to go!
Gobo: Yeah, ready and waiting, but what about everyone else?
Well, I guess we can start heading over, and anyone else who wants to can meet us there.
Gobo: Sounds like a plan!
Wembley: Yep, sounds good!
Alright, let's go! Gosh, I'm hungry!

*at the restaurant*

So, what're you all in the mood for?
Gobo: Gee, I'm not sure.
Wembley: Well I know what I want; one of those Greek salads! Or maybe I should try something different...
Do you want to get a large Greek salad and split it?
Wembley: Yeah, that sounds good! Can we get it with extra raddishes?
But of course!
Gobo: CCould I have some as well?
Sure! We'll split it three ways. And then I think I'll have a piece of spinach pie with a side of rice, and lemonade to drink. Anything else for you two?
Gobo: Nope, all I want is some of that salad! How 'bout you, Wembley?
Wembley: Yep, that's all I want, too.
Alright then, that's settled. *turning to Beth* So Beth, how've you been? How was your Christmas, busy?
Gobo: *turning slightly to face Red* So..Red..what's hapenin'? How's the..um..swimming goin'? *so desperate to find something to say to her, he doesn't consider that it's the dead of winter, and there is little or no swimming*

 

[The Count]

*Sitting down to eat at the booth table. Hmm... What to order...

UD: Bowl of clam chowder and a plate of meatloaf for me.
Count: I'll have the garlic shrimp filled lasagna with 7-layer salad.
UD: I'll never understand how you can eat that thing.
Me: Think I'll go with a hot New Orleans hamburger, bacon and shrooms and some peppers, with French fries and horse radish dipping sauce.
*All order refillable glasses of Sprite or black cherry Figgy Fizz.

Hey Mokey... Drawn anything interesting lately?
*Count starts silently counting seconds while listening to the conversation around him.
*Uncle D hexcuses himself to go wash his claws.

Snowing at home Beth? It's been cold and rainy down by our place lately.

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Oh, black cherry figgie fizz. I'll have to try some of that when this lemonade is empty.
Oh, by the way Ed, I just finally got around to watching Letters to Santa last night, and now I know where your current forum signature comes from!
Oh, hi Digit and Waldo! Glad you could make it! Kait's still not feeling well? Yeah, I was sick a few weeks ago, and it was no fun at all!

 

[The Count]

So... Anybody erm... *Tries to make small talk but fails miserably. *Not sure what to say... *Lost in own thoughts.

*Person arrives with the meals already ordered, asks the newer dormies what they want to eat.

*Goes over to get some Muppet music or other generally acceptable music playing to ease the mood. Any requests?

 

[redBoobergurl]

Red: *to Gobo* Well um, the indoor pool is nice for me to keep up with my swimming. I miss swimming outside though. I like playing in the snow though too. How are things with you?
Mokey: Yes Gobo, have you heard much from your uncle Matt?
*Red rolls her eyes and sighs loudly at this statement partly out of annoyance at the mention of Uncle Matt, but also at Mokey for interrupting her conversation with Gobo*

At the other end of the table
Beth: What are you eating Wanda?
Wanda: Tuna fish sandwich. How about you?
Beth: I'm thinking a burger.
Abby: Grilled cheese for me please! Hey, that rhymed! *giggles*

 

[The Count]

*Waiter nods and leaves to get the orders.

*Returning to the booth table...
You know Spamela. Red works at keeping the dorms' pool house's main pools clean and warm. It doesn't have much of a beach, but you could probably lifeguard there until people start going back to the sunny shores.

*UD looks at Count nervously for a second, then plunges back down into his soup.

 

[The Count]

Me: Yes, the dorms has an inner pool area. Red and Beth have the keys, you can ask her for one.
UD: Erm... *Looks up at Spamela's face. No? *Bubbles in his soup bowl, a short snort that escaped.

*Asks for another Sprite. You want some of these fries Beth? Been meaning to ask... Is there going to be a chorus/caroll sing tomorrow? Would be nice to hear some singing from Kate and Wanda and the others again.

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Well I say there's somethin' fishy about this whole business!
Gobo: You had to do that joke...
Well one of us had to, and I lost the toss.
But seriously, Uncle Deadly? Oh my goodness, what happened? *whispering to Ed so as not to alarm Spamela anymore than she already is* But he's dead, isn't he? So how could he?...
