[The Count]

Mr. Edward is curretly indisposed. *Collapsed on bed, spent day reworking Muppet list, no energy left. Talk tomorrow. *Expires.

*Lou comes bursting out of room*
Iiiiii'm baa-aack!
*Hears a mumble of 'Oh, great's!' The corridor clears suddenly.*

(gang is starting dinner prep in the kitchen)

Scooter: (cutting vegetables) Where's Nora?
Erin: (looking through cabinets) She went to visit her family; she should be back soon.
Storyteller: (sauteing onions) Scooter, pass me those carrots once you're done...and Beige, could you check to see if we have any leeks?
Beige: No, but now that you mention it, the pipe under the sink's looking...
Erin: (getting out flour and salt) Come on, Beige, what have we told you about the leek/leak joke?

(Nora enters)

Nora: (sigh) Hi, guys. (pulls a jar out of her backpack) Here's the yeast you asked for, Erin.
Erin: Thanks, Nora. (measures some into bowl of water and flour and leaves it to ferment)
Scooter: Were the terror twins acting up again?
Nora: As ever.
Beige: Oh, did they do that one experiment with the...
Storyteller: Now, Beige. Nora, your siblings may be a pain, but you know they love you and...

(explosion from bread bowl)

Erin: What on earth...(takes towel off of bowl of yeast)

(The yeast starter is turning a bizarre shade of purple and yellow, and is boiling ominously)

Erin: (looking at jar) Uh, Nora, this isn't yeast...
Nora: Let me see...(takes jar, and her face goes pale) Oh. No.
Scooter: What's the matter?
Beige: (pinching nose) Is bread supposed to smell like pool cleaner when it's rising?
Nora: This is some kind of mutant plankton that Caitlin was breeding for her biology class - I left the yeast jar on the table, and I must have picked this up instead!
Storyteller: I'd say that was very fascinating, if not for what that stuff is doing right now...

(The mixture is swelling up into a giant violet blob and is overflowing onto the counter.)

(continued from night before)

(gang is standing around, up to ankles in purple goo overflowing from bread bowl)

Nora: (on phone with sister) Caitlin, why on earth did you leave that jar of plankton on the table!
Caitlin: (voice from phone) Come on, sis, I was working on a project to see how...
Nora: I don't care, just tell me how to get rid of them!
Caitlin: But sis, I can't kill them, you know how long it took me to nurture them and...
Nora: Grrr...

Storyteller: Oh, dear...Nora's not happy at all.
Beige: Well, if your little sister unleashed some microscopic nightmare on you and your roommates...
Scooter: Look, it's flooding into our rooms...this isn't going to be good for the stereo.
Erin: Or pretty much anything else in here...

 

[The Count]

Tiiiireeeed. Barely keeping legs sustained... Need to enumerate Muppets Tonight, then I call it a night. Haven't even gotten to... Haunters... Need Kelly or Squeaky... *Mumbles, fallen asleep in bed.

Count: Ve'll let him sleep. Beaker, do the sponsors if you please.
*Tending to grooming Fatatatita while UD skulks around, lending Pew some spicy paprika for panda stew.

 

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Mee, mee, meee, mee letter L.
Blind Pew: Vwhat? I did not catch what he zaid.
Bunsen: I believe he said a number I didn't quite get; a letter, too.
Blind Pew: Zyou need tu work on zyour English, Carrot Top.
Beaker: D< Mee, mee, mee!
Claudia: He says his English is too dignified for your undeveloped minds to comprehend, mortals.
Bunsen: -Hides behind Panda-
Claudia: -Gives Rabbit a huge lick-

 

[The Count]

Sure was nice to see some Muppets at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Count: Mmm... Vonder who the Vhatnot was in that one scene with the hand inside her, Ex Ray I think.
UD: I prefered Dr. Cox's asesment of the interms... Asservic with that one has.
Plus I rully liked the slow soft version of the theme at the end. We'll have to see if that gets rerecorded for the 40th season.

*Hums the slow soft SST theme.

 

[The Count]

*Drags self to the kitchen counter for a bowl of cereal, then slowly falls into the sleep of ages in his bed.

UD: How long has he been at it?
Count: Vell... He voke at 4... In the morning. And he thought as long as he vas up...
UD: And I suppose you had nothing to do with this?
Count, innocent: Of corpse not. *Is betrayed by the gleam in his eye as he and Ed stayed up counting for the Muppet List all night.
UD: Well, at least that cereal will help settle his stomach acid. He could always do the dragonly thing and spit it out, but it'd better be done in a sink, don't think he'd produce any flames. Pity.
*The fiends drape a blanket over Ed's inert body.

UD: And he still has our franchises left to finish.
Count, silently nods.
*Both tiptoe outside to let the master slumber.

(a few days prior)

(uncontrollable purple goo is getting even more uncontrollable)

Nora: (on phone with sister) There's got to be something that this stuff doesn't like!
Caitlin: (on other end) I'm thinking, I'm thinking...wait a moment!
Nora: (looking at others, who are up to their necks in the goo) This had better be good.
Caitlin: I tried feeding it a lot of stuff...I fed it some dry yeast and it killed off the whole colony.
Nora: Great - get that jar of yeast and get over here now!

(moments later, the goo is vanquished and the apartment is set to rights again)

Nora: Ask me why my siblings haven't driven me completely insane.
Beige: Okay, why haven't your siblings driven you completely insane?
Storyteller: I think she was being rhetorical, Beige.
Scooter: So...is everyone excited about tomorrow night? The big 40th anniversary event?
Erin: You bet - sounds like the whole gang's going to be there. I just hope the roads stay clear enough; they're bad enough in good weather.
