[Erine81981]

I wonder what too as well to give a machine? *writes a note to let the others know where I am* There. Now to the hardware store. *sees Ryan* Hey Ryan. I'll be back. I'm going to see what I can find for that robot b-day. See you later. *walks on out the door*

Abby: What's a robot?
Red: Yeah, I'm actually not too sure on that one myself
*Beth looks at Wanda*
Wanda: Don't look at me, you'll have to explain this one
Beth: All right, a robot is an electronic...um..well sometimes it's not...um...
Wanda: Ok, never mind, I'll try. It's like a machine that can do stuff, you guys remember watching Pee Wee's Playhouse with Beth?
Red: Oh yeah, we watched that all summer
Abby: I like the pretty lady on that show
Wanda: Well you know Conky?
Abby: Yea!
Wanda: He's a robot
Red: Oh, I get it now. So this Robot Kermit, he looks like Kermit?
Beth: Exactly
Red: So what do you get a robot as a gift?
Beth: I don't know, but it's something everyone's been struggling with. We'll figure something out. Come on, let's get started on our days.

*in our room sprawled on my bed studying*

Skeeter: *comes in* Ya ever gonna come out and greet the sun again?

Christyb: Yeah, after midterm exams.

Skeeter: Makes sense. Anyways, how about a walk at least. I need help finding a gift for Robo Kermit.

Christyb: Really? You're the best at gifts though? *closes book* I guess I can take a little break. Let's go.

 

[The Count]

*Shudders a bit at that reference from my next-door neighbors.
Think of it more as C-3PO from Star Wars... He visited Big Bird on Sesame Street a couple of times back in the day.
Well... Good thing the plans for the party are coming along.
Count: But vhat do you get for a robot's birthday?
Well... Since it's a robot version of Kermit... Went down to the mall and picked up these neat little magnets with a few Muppets Around the World designs.
Count: Ah yes... I remember Beth vas the one who told us about them.
Yep... Bought two, the one with Kermit at tea time in London and the one of him with Piggy. The others should have better luck finding neat little gifts like that for the robo-ribbeter. Maybe a digitally downloadable packet of fanfics? Eh, they'll come up with some ideas I'm sure.

And no worries Erin, it's all in good or bad pun.

*still in our room Skeeter is impatiently tapping her toe waiting on Christy who is at the computer*

Christy: Hold on I'm almost done!

Skeeter: Fascinating twist or not hurry up! We have a gift to buy. Mopfam can wait.

Christy: You can't tell me this isn't awesome. It far surpasses those Harry Potter books you like.

Skeeter: Yeah, yeah, let's go! *takes my hand and drags me off*

Christyb: Didn't your Mom ever teach you patience?

 

[The Count]

She probably did, but that doesn't mean she may have learned it.

Just teasing yer roomie Sis... And it's great stuff, almost makes me forgive no update for Destiny.
Count: Vhat?
Well, I did say "almost".

 

[BEAR]

Bry: What do you guys want for breakfast?
Telly: Bryan, we have other things to worry about! We still haven't figured out what to give a robot for its birthday!
Bry: I know. It's become a popular riddle throughout the Dorms.
Bert: You know what? I have an idea! But it's a secret so you can't come in.
Ernie: But, Bert...
Bert: Nope. Not even you, Ernie. I want this to be a surprise! No one come in (runs into his and Ernie's room and shuts the door).
Ernie: Hmm I wonder what it could be.
Big Bird: I just remembered something. I knew two other robots once. C-3PO and R2-D2! R2-D2 was like a trashcan on wheels and he bleeped a lot. They were both so nice though.
Bry: A trashcan on wheels... I think I got it!
Telly: What?
Bry: An idea for a present. We might need Oscar's help though. Let's eat our breakfast and then we'll head out to talk to the grouch.
Telly: I hope this solves the riddle.

 

[The Count]

Mmm... An afternoon off without any worries about school.
Think I'll head off and talk to Bryan about those SS plans I was scheming.

 

[Erine81981]

Hey Ed. I wanted to warn you that magnets seem to make robot sing or do silly stuff. Remember Bender and that robot from that other cartoon show. Just wanted to let you know. Just a little info about robots. Well since most fo the mosnters are away at the moment I might go to Bunsan's lab for a little. I'm not a real robot designer but I bought this book on how to make robots. So the surprised will be later on tonight. *gathers up the book and the parts and runs to Bunsan's lab/room*

 

[Leyla]

<Hilda returns from her sewing class to find Leyla covered head to toe in oil and other robot related debris, kneeling in front of Robot Kermit with a wrench stuck in her mouth.>

Hilda: <shocked> What happened?

Leyla: <blankly> I don't know... what happened?

Hilda: <gestures helplessly at swath of destruction around Leyla> This... what... how...disaster!

Leyla: <concerned> Oh, did you have a bad day at school? Mine was great!

Jimmy: <wandering casually by, taking little notice of the aforementioned swath of destruction> Ah think she means the mess you've made of our rooms, not to mention the grease. I thought you were a blonde.

Leyla: I was... but just think of this as punishment for having forgotten poor RK's birthday. Good thing Ed reminded me! I gotta get the poor fellow up and running! Hand me that oil can will you? I think he needs a bit more.

Hilda:Well, if you'd actually get any where it's needed, maybe you wouldn't have that problem!

Leyla: You seem tense. Listen, Jimmy's messed this place up tons of times! It's not so much to ask that I get to do it once and awhile, especially when it's for the sake of one of our roomies, and a birthday boy to boot!

Hilda:<not pacified> You know better! He doesn't! And they'll be all these well wishers! We can't let them see this place!

Leyla: Hilda... these are Muppets and muppet fans. They understand mess... and they understand chaos.

Hilda: That isn't what you said when Catherine's roomies were here!

Leyla: That's because Ru's roomies include Piggy, and Piggy...

Hilda: doesn't understand mess and chaos?

Leyla: Oh, she understands it, she just doesn't tolerate it, unless it's to her advantage.

<Robot Kermit twitches and suddenly sits up>

RK: Hiya, honey! Where you been all my life!

Leyla: Um... not born for some of it, in Canada for the rest.

RK: Oh, good! And where's that frog who looks like me... he's fun to rile.

Leyla: Ah, he lives next door... Please don't cause trouble!!
