Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[ReneeLouvier]

*Renee is out sitting by the pool, although the cover is on it, because's it's still winter at the dorms. She watches a small bug crawl across the cover, making its way towards the other side.*

Renee: Maybe I should start writing my essay....*she glances at a stack of papers in front of her. Her saxhorn is sitting beside it.*

*Scooter comes outside, leaning against the doorframe, he smiles to Renee. He sees she's sitting on top of the table, actually.*

Scooter: Why don't you play something? That always makes you happy.

Renee: I don't...really feel like playing, Scoot.

*Scooter's expression drops a bit, and he sits beside her on the table. He hands her a glass of water, and sets some of those apple-blueberry muffins that UD and Prawncracker had made beside her.*

Scooter: Huh...*He pulls out his small guitar, and strums it a bit.* Then...I'll play for you.

Renee: *Watches him, curiously, quietly.*

Scooter:
"Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be."

Renee: *Her heart melts, she loves that song so much. Scooter's voice isn't low enough for it, but she dosn't care.*

Scooter: *He smiles, continuing on.*

"Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel...

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room..."

"When I was walking in Memphis
I Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel..."

Scooter: *Plays softly, leaning against Renee now.*

"They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer...

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Renee she plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight!!"

"Walking in Memphis!
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel...

Walking in Memphis!
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis!
But do I really feel the way I feel..."

Scooter:
"Put on my blue seude shoes,
and I boarded the plane....
touched down in the land of the delta blues,
in the middle of pouring rain.

Touched down in the land of the delta blues,
in the middle of pouring....rain...."

*Scooter stops singing, and he looks over at Renee, and he smiles.*

Scooter: Did that make you feel any better, Renee?

Renee: Yeah. It did. Thanks.

Actually... To clear up a few things.
1 Renee, your room's on the "second" floor. It's rully the main floor, the same one as when you enter the dormhouse, but there's another floor below it we call the "first" or "Basement" floor where some of our rooms are, including mine.
2 The pool's housed in a separate roofed area, accessible via the dormhouse by a walkway. The poolhouse is directly behind the dorms, next to the parking lot. You need a key to enter, seeing as how the separate thread got locked down. Me thinks Red's the one you'd need to talk about getting a key, but it looks like you already got one.

Hope you have fun at the dorms and have a good weekend.

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Oh Gord, this is nasty.
Tosh: *laying up on her bed, reading* Look, if the aftertaste is that bad, drink some water to get it out of your mouth.
Kim: *grabs a bottle of water from the refrigerator* Cherry flavor my left foot; it doesn't even taste like fake cherries!
Boober: *comes in from taking a shower* What doesn't?
Kim: This stupid, supposedly cherry-flavored Cold-Eez. I took one a little while ago for this cold that's trying to creep up on me.
Gillis: Maybe you ought to sue for false advertising?
Kim: *sarcastically* Ha ha.
Boober: A...cold? *starts to shake* A cold?! A COLD!
Gillis: Uh-oh...
Tosh: *doesn't even look up from her book* Standby for freakout in 3...2...1...
Boober: *reaches into his robe pocket and pulls out a surgical mask, going into full panic mode* Oh no! We've got to take action! I've got to disinfect the entire room! Stock up on cold medicines and tissues! Give Tosh's Beast a bath!
Beast: Huh?
Boober: And you! *pokes Kim in the leg* You should be in bed!
Kim: *while he's panicking* Boober...Boober...BOOBER!
Boober: *stops panicking, looks up at her calmly* What?
Kim: *sighs* It's fine, Boober. I took a Cold-Eez lozenge. It'll knock the cold out of me faster, before it has a chance to get full-blown. It's fine.
Boober: ...oh. Okay, if you say so. *starts over to the closet to change, then turns around* Maybe I ought to take your temperature just in case...
Kim: *warningly* Boober...
Boober: Sorry.

Whoopise. XD Thanks again Count.

Scooter: I still think that was a beautiful song I sang.

Renee: It was.

 

[The Count]

Hey Kim... If you need something to get rid of that nasty aftertaste... You could always have a cherry popsicle. They're in the common room's fridge, along with some orange and chocolate ones too. They make for excellent tongue depressors too.
*Chuckles.

 

[ReneeLouvier]

*Scooter and Renee walk back across the parking lot, to the dorms. Scooter has his guitar on his back, and the two are talking about the moviehouse as they near the dorms. Renee stops at her car for a moment, and places her books in the backseat.*

Renee: Why don't we get away for awhile, Scooter?? The Country Trio are at another music gig, and Jim has the key to the room. We could go out and have some dinner, then check up on the moviehouse.

Scooter: Sounds great, Renee. Let's go!

*The two hop into her car, and they drive off, towards the moviehouse, then later to dinner.*

 

[theprawncracker]

Guys! I'm heading over to Lisa's room to write more of our story! I'll be back when we finish! *leaves*

Cantus: Oh, finally, I thought he'd never leave. *looks around and realizes he's all alone* It seems I am all alone...Well, what to do now? What else?? Sing of course!

*plays a solo on his magic pipe*

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide!
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong wait and see,
Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

*Cantus plays another pipe solo drawing the rest of the Minstrels from a Fraggle hole in Ryan's closet and they begin to play along with Cantus*

Murray the Minstrel: Hey boss, we heard you're song, and we thought we'd join you!

Cantus: Ah, great my Minstrels! Now you can stay, but you cannot stay, now, back to the song!

Murray: Man, I'll never get this dude...

Cantus: Who said that every wish,
Would be heard and answered?
When wished on the morning stars,
Somebody thought of that,
And someone believed it,
Look what it's done so far!

Murray: What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing!
And what do we think we might see?

Cantus: Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me!

Brio the Minstrel: All of us under it's spell,
We know that it's probably magic!

Brool the Minstrel: Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?

Balsam the Minstrel: I've heard them calling my name!
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

Murray: The voice might be one in the same!

Cantus: So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong wait and see,
Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me!

The Minstrels: La da da de da da do! La da da da da de da do!

Cantus: Very nice Minstrels, very nice!

Murray: Thanks boss, but we better amscray! We'll see you on your next venture to the rock!

Cantus: *nods* Good good, I shall be making my return to Fraggle Rock on the day these silly creatures call Valentines, it'll be a love song tour!

Murray: Nice boss, well we'll see you. *the Minstrels exit into the Fraggle hole and return to the Rock*

*I walk in* Hey Cantus I forgot my pen...Did I miss something?

Cantus: No sir Ryan, I've just been here all alone. Good luck writing and bad luck failing my friend!

*blink* Er...Thanks...I think...See ya! *leaves again*

 

[The Count]

Sleep well my friends... For the morning creeps like a bat winging its way home, or a cat on tiptoes as rolling fog shrouds the bay.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Red: I want to go sledding! Please, someone go sledding with me?
Mokey: Oh Red, I'm sorry it's just not my kind of thing! You know I love spending time with you, but I just can't do that
Red: That's ok Mokey, I know that's who you are and I like you for it!
Beth: Hey Red, I'll go with you if you give me a few more minutes to finish something on my computer
Red: Yea! Maybe we'll run into some other dormies who will want to go
Mokey: I'll make you guys some hot cocoa when you get back
Beth: Thanks Mokey!

 

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: SLEDDING?!?! YAHOO!! *runs over to Red* I love sledding! Let me grab my rocket powered sled and we'll be on our way!

Er...Sorry about that Red, but I'll come along too if you don't mind! Oh, and Beth, don't forget to read TTTMBT, Lisa and I posted more!
