Hope Lisa and Nyssa contact me soon with their picks... Might have to drop them an E-mail soon. Wonder if they want to be involved in the story too, if that ever materializes, eh, maybe during Winter or Summer vacations.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: Okay, has everyone gone downstairs with the...er...you know?
Nora: Right.
Storyteller: Mm-hmm. Now who's up for cocoa?
(chorus of ooh, me, me!)

(some time later, each is huddled around the table, sipping cocoa and wearing blankets around their shoulders)

MN: Finally, exam week is nearly over. (slurp of cocoa) Hope everyone's got their sweaters and thermals and stuff. It said on the radio that it's gonna drop to the 20s here tonight.
Nora: Forget the thermals, we're gonna need polar bear fur.
MN: Or maybe...hey, how can you tell if a whale's really depressed?
Storyteller: Don't know, how?
MN: He won't stop blubbering!
Nora: Ooh, ooh! Or if he wails (whales) all the time!

(chorus of good-natured groans and jeers, and tapping of cocoa mugs on the table)

 

[The Count]

Uh Erin... You live on the basement floor, so I'm not sure how much downstairs you can get. Unless you've heard, much like Scooter did... There's a new sound, it's coming from underground...
Bad jokes are welcome here, guess that's because Statler and Waldorf aren't living with anyone. That reminds me of a quote I might use as a sigline one of these days.

Oh well, finals may be almost over for you, but they're getting into gear over here in my neck o' the woods.
Good thing I can use tonight for continued Muppet-related project tinkering. Check with you guys later tonight.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *hauling a small artificial tree out of its box* So glad we decided to go with a miniature, pre-lit tree this year.
Betty Lou: No offense, but the one you had before was kinda puny.
Kim: None taken. How's the garland hanging coming, guys?
Gillis: *stringing garland on the ends of the beds* Not too bad; we're almost finished.
Boober: *looking at the floor and shaking his head* I'm going to have to run the vacuum cleaner when we're done...
Tosh: Oh, Boober, come off it once. Why can't you just enjoy what we're doing instead of agonizing over stuff like cleaning?
Boober: I can't help it. It's in my nature.
Kim: Well, I hope its in your nature to help finish decorating before you go on a cleaning spree.
Betty Lou: *decorating the outside of Speedbump's tank* So, are we going to go Secret Santa shopping tomorrow?
Kim: You guys can go if you want; I've got to work tomorrow at the library. And right after work I've got our staff Christmas party. I'll just have to shop for my Secret Santa some other time.

((OOC note: I know I've called Betty Lou's turtle Leafy in a couple posts, but then I remembered that I actually called it Speedbump first. So Speedbump is the name I'm sticking with))

[The Count]

No problem Kim.

*Bats fly upstairs and deposit a well-wrapped present for Bryan. The present contains a CD of Sesame Street music recorded from the shows, movies, and MC Radio, in a CD jewel case with an insert card that features the Sesame Street logo and Sesame Street Muppets in festive party celebration with party hats and confetti flying down upon them with a cake and candles infront of the group gathered around the table.

Hope that puts a broad smile on your face Bry... And happy birthday to one of my greatest MC forum friends.

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Boy, what a great party! Hey, Red and Beth! Thanks for coming. Good to see you too, Wanda. And Abby, this is the most beautiful card anyone has ever gotten me. Thank you.

Thanks, girls!
Big Bird: Hey, Bryan, Bryan!
Bry: What what?
Big Bird: Did you like our silly song?
Bry: I sure did!
Telly: We practiced with Kyle aaaall week!
Bry: I can tell! It was just wonderful. This has turned out to be such a nice party, and I see Cookie Monster has been behaving himself. The cake is still there.
Bert: Actually, we had two cakes made.
Ernie: Yeah, that's the back-up. Cookie scarfed down the first one hours ago.
Bry: And the second one is still standing.
Ernie: But did you notice the decorations aren't?
Voice from across the room: *BURP* 'Scuse me!
Hoots: Hey, Bry! You got another little package here! Looks like it's from Ed and The Count Baby.
