Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

Sleep's important? Who are you and what have you done with the real Lisa?!? The real Lisa would be up at 4 in the morning typing and pecking away at the next chapter of her story or some comment in the forums or nagging fanfic authors to...
*Sees her snoozing away in the common room couch.

Oh... Never mind. *Pulls blanket up over Lisa and tiptoes to kitchen area, serves breakfast and takes it to Room #1.
Hope she gets some well-needed rest also.

 

[The Count]

Well... It's been a little busy here at the dorms. Taken some orders for robes, got the pieces from my customizer friend, gave him the pieces/figures for the next project...

Yep, a good day, especially what with the thunder off in the distance from the storm raining down right now. At last... 1 entry from the "Would've Been" 2005 calendar of Muppet figures is finished... Super Link.
Once I get the pics organized, I'll submit them to Quinn and everyone can see them there.

BTW: All those of you who still haven't put in your order for your robes, I'd advise you to send 'em in. Who knows if we'll have time once September rolls around to get everything coordinated for the celebrations.
Just hoping to hear from some peoples is all.
Good night everyone.

Chef: Leesa! Zeere-a yuoo ere-a! Vhere-a hefe-a yuoo beee ell dey?

Didn't I leave a note?

Chef: Nu!

Oh, I meant to leave a note. I'm sorry Chef. I was helping around my synagogue's new building, you know, getting rid of weeds and stuff.

Chef: Oh, elreeght. Um de hur de hur de hur. Vell, ere-a yuoo gueeng tu tell us ebuoot vhet yuoo und yuoor femeely deed oon Soondey?

Well, if you insist. We borrowed a bicycle from a friend of ours, since there's five of us and we only own four, and we rode on the Des Plaines River Trail. Went from our house to a little past Independence Grove, turned around, ate lunch at Independance Grove, and came home. It was a total of 26.4 miles. Then all five of us managed to shower, change, and get out the door in less than forty minutes, and we headed down to Grandma's house for dinner. See a lot of my family that lives in Colorado is in town, and they're staying with Grandma, so we figured we'd drop in. We brought Cinnamon, too, she likes going there. Except that it was so weird for Roxy to not be there. She and Cinnamon were kind of friends, so for a little while Cinnamon was definately looking for her. I really missed her, too. But after dinner, a whole bunch of us went to the park near Grandma's house, and that was fun. Except for when my cousin's son disapearred. Apparently he thought we were going back, so he started walking, and then we couldn't find him and we were getting worried. But I guess he realized that none of us were walking back, and he came back to the park. He got grounded, but we were just glad to find him again, you know? And then we had dessert, of course, because you can't go to Grandma's and not have dessert. Trust me, it's next to impossible. We got home around eleven or so, and there were no disruptions to my sleep at all, and we all lived happily ever after. Oh wait, that's the wrong story, I don't know if we lived happily ever after yet.

Chef: ...reeght. Um de hur de hur de hur... vell, I'm gled yuoo hed foon. Bork bork bork!

Me too. It was nice for us to all be together for a change. Well, I should go figure out this last chapter. It's being kind of a pain to write.

Chef: Vhy? Vhet heppens?

I'm not telling!

Chef: Pleese-a?

No. If I tell you, you won't have any reason to read it.

Chef: Feene-a

So you know, I'm helping out at the synagogue again tomorrow. Oh, and don't let me forget to do laundry! I'm all out of clean clothes.

Chef: Elreeght. Um de hur de hur de hur. Hefe-a foon vreeting zee lest chepter. Hurty flurty schnipp schnipp!

I'll certainly try.

 

[That Announcer]

(TA, Marvin Suggs and Dr. Julius T. Strangepork come bashing down the hallway, simultaneously waking everyone on the floor up and causing the motion-detector alarm to go off. Marvin grabs a mallet and swings at the control panel, causing it to both shut off and make the lights brighter by a marked amount. Strangepork opens the door to the dorm, and they all walk in.)

TA: Marvin, did it really take this long to arrange a Muppaphone funeral?

MS: A-yes, it does! Zere are many things which I must-a do in order to have a Muppaphone's funeral be a proper one!

TA: Like...

MS: Well, I must-a make sure they are really flat!

TA: Yes, I know that, but it doesn't ordinarily take that long to find a good vice grip!

MS: Ordinarily, no, but I must-a find one suited for use with my Muppaphones!

TA: Well, whatever, but you delayed the move a long while.

JS: Yeah, he did! Anyway, I say we all move in.

TA: Good plan, Julius. Hey Marv, when is Phil coming along?

MS: Vell, I zent him along to pick up my Muppaphones from their kennel!

TA: Yeah, another thing. About that Acapulco getaway...

MS: Never mind that.

(Suddenly, a very loud screech followed by a "BANG" is heard from outside the building, causing everyone that had just fallen asleep to wake up again.)

JS: Well, that should be Phil right about now!

MS: How can you tell?

TA: Must be that car of his! I wonder why he ever bought that lemon? Must be a real fool to do something like that! Hah hah hah...

(A calvacade of "OW"s is heard coming from the hall, followed by a loud "CLACK".)

PN: Quiet, you stupid things! Now don't make me bang on your cage again.

MS: My babies have arrived! (runs into hallway) Hello, Muppaphones! I'm back, and you'd better know it!

MP: (quietly, to themselves) Oh no, it's him...

MS: Now come on, you silly creatures. Let's-a go into our new home!

MP: (upon seeing the dorm) Wow...

MS: Now you will be sleeping in this cage for a while!

MP: ... oh, no!

(Phil walks into the room)

PN: Hey, everyone! I'm here!

TA: Hey, Phil, great to have you! Why don't you take that bed over there next to Julius, you guys can share science tales before you go to bed!

JS: Yeah Phil, come on over! There's a few tech equipment catalogues over there on my nightstand. Bought 'em off Jamie Hyneman, you know, the "Mythbusters" guy?

PN: Hey, that's wonderful! And I like your space lamp.

TA: Anyway fellas, get settled in. I'm gonna go set up the computer and call my ma, I'm sure she'd love to hear. (He leaves into the next room.)

JS, PN: (in unison) The computer? Wait for me! (They follow TA.)

MS: (waits until they're gone, then rubs his hands) Did you-a hear that, Muppaphones? We're-a all alone!

MP: Oh no...

 

[theprawncracker]

Well UD, sorry but I'm gonna be gone for a few days!

UD: What? How many?

Two or more...

UD: Why?

Because...You wouldn't understand.

UD: Probably not...Don't worry my friend, I'll take care of things here!

(I'm really leaving because I have to move into the apartment my family will be staying in while our new house is being built, so it'll take me a few days to set up my computer!

Peace and love to all ya'll!

[The Count]

*Coming in... That's OK Ryan. Maybe That Announcer can help you get your new computer installed at your place. If UD wants to come downstairs and visit/stay with us, that'd be OK. Or the roomies could go with to your new place to make sure it's Muppety enough.

As for the dorm's anniversary... Been contacting people, waiting for replies from That Announcer, Harvey Towers, Frogster, sugarbritchez, and Fozzie Bear.
Hoping they'll answer soon. Oh, and there are currently 2 vacancies, bit guys from TMS.
Not sure if I should post who it is just yet. Was thinking that as a privilege to those already here, registered dormers should have first crack at deciding if they want to switch current roomies for either of these two. Then again, maybe it would be fairer to let everyone know and let new visitors interested in joining have a shot at these two guys also.

We'll see what happens, if people start posting like mad for me to reveal the two current vacancies. We'll see...
*Walks off to continue conversations over phone with Bear and others.

 

[BEAR]

(Bryan Bear-that's me-walking into the lobby for the first time with two friends in tow each carrying some luggage.)

Bry: Well, here we are guys.

Big Bird: aaah.
Rosita: Nice.

Bry: We need to talk to someone and find out how to get to our room.

Rosita: Hey, what's that shiny thing on the desk?
Big Bird: It looks like it came off of a Dinger somewhere.
Bry: Well, it is a bell, but I don't think it came from a Dinger's head. Maybe if I ring it someone will come out to help us.

(R and BB looking at each other)
Rosita: Oh.
Big Bird: Good idea.

(hits the desk bell) *Ding Ding*

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Hmm...that's funny. There's no one here.

Rosita: Well, maybe everyone is sleeping.
Big Bird: (clutching his teddy bear) Yeah, it is past Radar's bedtime. *Yawns*
Bry: Sounds like it's past yours too, Big Bird.

Rosita: Yeeah. Haha.
Bry: Well, in my confirmation letter, I think it said we were in room 60. So I guess we could go to our room, but without a key we can't get inside.

 

[BEAR]

Rosita: (realizing something is wrong) Ummm...Bryan? I am looking at this little map overview and I don't see a room 60 on it.

Big Bird: I don't even think I can count that high!

 

[Harvey Towers]

*Harvey Towers, Johnny Fiamma and Sal come wondering through the hallway*

Harvey Towers: Oh, more new people…

Johnny Fiamma: What is that Sal?

Sal: I don't know Johnny , I think it's some kind of big bird, I'll call it Huge, Feathered... Thing?

Harvey Towers: Hello Bry, Rosita and Big Bird! I see your looking for the Count aswell, I just popped down to see if he was around, but I'm sure you won't have to wait too long.

Johnny Fiamma: What are you here to see the Count about?

Harvey Towers: He was asking me if I wanted to change my roommates

*Sal - rather paranoid due to Big Bird’s overwhelming stature*

Sal: Hey get away from Johnny Fiamma yah Huge, Feathered ... Thing

Johnny Fiamma: What did you say?

Harvey Towers - *under his breath* I can't say I wasn't tempted

Johnny Fiamma: What's that?

Harvey Towers: Well I'm just here to tell him I'll stick with you two and I'll let him know about your robes as soon as you two have decided what you want.

Johnny Fiamma: Robes?

Harvey Towers: I'll tell you later, come on!

Sal: Johnny Fiamma, coming through, out of the way for Johnny Fiamma. Hey, hey, I'm watching you, you Huge, Feathered...thing you...
