Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

UD: Hello? Hmm, she seems to have disappeared. *Turning to go.
Count: Ah vell, let's go see if Kelly can help. Though we should leave her a note, she's probably sleeping after shlepping over town for that vonderful map we've yet to learn about.
*Both retreat back into their room, slipping into their jammies for a good night's sleep.

(Gang's setting up the common room for a campfire sing-along)

Beige: Though not with a real campfire - fire marshal would have a fit.
Storyteller: Who wants marshmallows in their cocoa, and who wants chocolate chips?
Scooter: Has anyone seen my string winder? My guitar needs a new low E string.
Erin: Can I unplug something so we have enough room for the lava lamp and the star projector?
Nora: I need some help moving the coffee table here.

(Eventually, the gang is seated on the floor, sitting on cushions or wrapped in quilts. Everyone has cocoa, the lights are off and the lava lamp is burbling, while the tabletop star projector shines some springtime constellations on the ceiling.)

Scooter: (tuning his guitar) Any requests?
Nora: Let's do that one by the Eagles - "Love Will Keep Us Alive."

(Scooter starts to play, and all start to sing.)

I was standing, all alone against the world outside...
You were searching for a place to hide...
Lost and lonely, now you've given me the will to survive...
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive.

Don't you worry...sometimes you've got to let it ride...
The world is changing, right before your eyes...
Now I've found you, there's no more emptiness inside...
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive.

I would die for you...climb the highest mountain...
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do...

Now I've found you, there's no more emptiness inside...
When we're hungry, love will keep us alive.

I would die for you...climb the highest mountain...
Baby...there's nothing I wouldn't do...

I was standing...all alone against the world outside,
You were searching, for a place to hide...
Lost and lonely, now you've given me the will to survive...
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive...
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive...

(Scooter finishes playing.)

Storyteller: Mmm...now let's do Kumbaya.

*Kelly wakes up finally, gets up out of bed, spots note near door, reads it*

Kelly (quietly, so as not to wake Spike): A Whatnot? *shrugs, stares at door* I wonder if Ed's up yet. I should let him know the map's completed, but I had to leave it over in the Fanfic/Fanart board, as the Games Board didn't let me create a new thread.

*Fatatatita comes back, carrying two baskets again. No way!

*Removes/retires the full pink basket, placing it next to the pumpkin orange one.
*Snugglepets his darkling black cat. Do you want some more witch's brew before heading back out? *Serves her her food.

Going over what we've gotten... Okay, the purple empty basket's now your primary catcher. Three of the decorated eggs, four grasses, and seven goodies. At least we got the chocobun, still need another goodie, the green easter grass and a second sparkly egg, those are toughies to find. 40 points on your basket's little counter, only 60 more to go. *Pats her head as she scampers off to find more eggs hidden throughout town.

 

[RedPiggy]

Spike: So, Kel ... got any eggs yet?

Kelly (totally confused): Why?

Spike: Dat guy across from us has been talkin' 'bout eggs for a coupla days now. *pouts* I'm gettin' HUNGRY!

Kelly (rolls eyes): He's talking about Easter eggs, stupid.

Spike: So? Dey're edible, right?

Kelly: Not if you use plastic eggs.

Spike (horrified): Why wouldn't ya use real eggs?

Kelly (shrugs): Because you can't hide prizes in real ones.

Spike: But ... but ... EATIN' IT IS DA PRIZE! What da heck would I want wit' some cheap plastic knicknacks? At least REAL eggs is USEFUL! I mean, dat's what dis holiday comin' up is all about, right? Huh? A celebration o' carnivores scavengin' for eggs an' eatin' birds an' bunnies, right?

Kelly (facepalm): Eggs signify springtime, Spike. Just as a dying world lives anew each spring, so does a rock-like object end up as a little living being. And people just like peeps and chocolate bunnies.

Spike: I never see YOU wit' 'em.

Kelly: I TOLD you ... I don't LIKE candy and stuff. Super-sweet stuff makes me sick.

Spike (grins): AH. DAT'S why ya like me, toots....

Kelly (facepalm, groans)

 

[RedPiggy]

*Cotterpin and Spike are watching Kelly jump up and down excitedly*

Cotterpin (on Spike's shoulder, whispers): What did you give her?

Spike: Nuttin', Little Bit. Been watchin' dat Sarah Connor t'ing. *shakes head* She really DOES have a t'ing for robots ....

Kelly (twirling around, all fangirly, singing): John and Cameron, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Spike: Disgustin', ain't it?

Cotterpin (nods)

Kelly: SQQQQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Cotterpin (whispers): What NOW?

Spike: Dunno. She's been like dis all afternoon....

Kelly: DBE!DBE!DBE!DBE!DBE!DBE!DBE!GOKU&CHICHI!DBE!KAMEHAMEHA!

Cotterpin: What's that, some sort of magic spell?

Spike: Some movie 'bout a martial arts monkey. Beats me where she finds dis stuff. Ick.

*They watch Kelly finally hyperventilate and faint, crashing to the floor in euphoria*

Cotterpin (after a long pause): Well, I guess that's the end of that.

Spike: Yep.

 

[The Count]

Hey Uncle D, is it ready?
UD: Ready and waiting its victims.

*Count counts the chocolate bunnies lined up in a row awaiting their fate.

Me: Very well then... Off with their heads!
*The guillotine jaws of the Bandersnatch slice downwards, chopping the chocolate heads in a swish. Count: 1 2, 1 2, and quickly through. Ah my sons, beware the frumious jaws of the bandersnatch.

Nice to know they still had these in stock online at Deep 13 Labs.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (perks up, begins to sing again): I was alone with the world to tame,
I was evil and feelin' blue.
Lookin' around, talkin' to clowns,
Never guessin' that I'd find you.

Cotterpin (to Spike): Well, she's singing again. That didn't last too long. Even in Fraggle Rock ... she's downright loopy.

Spike (nods)

Kelly: Bada-been! We're livin' in Deep 13.
Nobody knows what we mean.
Rulin' the world
with our heads in a swirl
and it's keen,
Livin' in Deep 13

Spike: Dat does it. *stands up and leaves and knocks on Room 1* 'Ey, can we come in? If you're gonna make her even worse, da least ya can do is let us escape inta your room!

 

[The Count]

*Opens door and lets Kelly and roomies come in. *Offers bunny heads, and the rest of the dismembered delicacies.

Hey, whaz going on with you Kelly-girl? *Brings them inside, closing quickly behind them.

 

[RedPiggy]

Spike (has hand over Kelly's mouth): Please, do somethin' ... we can't get her ta shut up!

Cotterpin (still on Spike's shoulder): She's driving us CRAZY!
