Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Beige: An anti-sugar freak? (gasps) Claudia, how can you say that?
Nora: Well, if you've got diabetes it's understandable, but still...how's the blueberry buckle coming along?
Erin: It's not done until it looks like the bubbling tarpits from the Land of Gorch.
Scooter: Minus the wastelands and the sulfur and all that stuff. But it's gotta be like molten lava by now.
Storyteller: And that's why they clearly say let it cool for an hour or so after it's done. But it's absolutely decadent with a splash of whipping cream.
Nora: So what else are we taking out on the picnic tonight?
Storyteller: A pot of cold radish-mint soup...
Scooter: A batch of Thai wraps...
Erin: A few salads and some roasted vegetables...
Beige: And some ice cream.

 

[The Count]

So... Bat burgers... Scaramel brownies... Bat's claw cole slaw... And red white and blue potato salad... Okay troops, you have your orders, now march out!
*Off to prepare for picnic late lunch and fireworks spectacular from Sam, Gonzo, and Crazy Harry.
Gosh,it's a great time to be a Hensonvillean.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <hangs up phone> I don't have to work! YAY! Apparently we're REALLY slow today. My poor manager has to twiddle his thumbs for another six hours all by himself.
Robin: So that means you can stay at the Dorms and celebrate with us HERE, right?
Lisa: <Hugs the little guy> No... That means I can ride on the back of Daddy's motorcycle to my aunt's house and celebrate there.
Chef: Um de muur de happity fammy puurty.
Rowlf: I thought you were getting TIRED of family parties?
Lisa: Oh, I am. But when you only see some of these people once or twice a year, if even THAT much... I mean, I haven't seen my cousin's daughter since she was a newborn, and she's almost two now... Maybe that's what I'll do. I'll play with her and the baby. And try not to get sunburned any worse than I am.
Rowlf: But you're very patriotic this way. <Points> Mostly white skin, red sunburn, and blue eyes. Red white and blue!
Lisa: <sings and dances> The red, the white, and blue, and blue, America, America, you know that we love you!
Chef: <stares>
Rowlf: <stares>
Robin: <bops along>
Lisa: ...Sang that in fourth grade. No one in the world knows it anymore. But I have never misspelled our country's name since then.
Rowlf: Good to know.
Lisa: <resumes dancing/singing> A, is for America, and hey we think you're grand! M, majestic mountains here, across this wond'rous land! across this land. E is for equality; R for the rights we all share! I for independence, C for colors true, and A for America cares. And it's America, America, from sea to shining sea...

 

[The Count]

*Leaves Grim and Des where they are, still on the shelf reading, yet sharing a drink with two straws... Sparkling Muskitell I think it is, finest soda from somewhere or other.

 

[The Count]

Hi-ho there... Now that we've been sated on summery snacks and fine festive food. It's time to get the show on the road!
*Gestures upwards... Prepare yourselves for a display of proud patriotic pyrotechnics.
**Hears screams of delight as the fireworks commence zooming and booming into space.
That Gonzo... He never learns. And yet, he's so happy up there from something so simple, I envy him sometimes.

 

[The Count]

*Grim and Des are watching the fireworks too, the greeting card pointing at the bigger stars with his bony fingered hand, drawing the attention and attraction of Desiree's fuzzling fuzz, the rockets glare reflecting her eyeshadow brilliantly, making Grim draw her in even closer.

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: (carrying Mimzy and Tosh) Thanks for the songs, Ed. I'll fish 'em out of the ol' inbox tomorrow once I've taken care of my dog-sitting duties. Right now, I've gotta get this group to bed.
Gillis: Don't you think it's a bad thing we're always staying up this late?
Kim: It's fine, Gil. First off, it's a three-day weekend. Second, I'm the only one who has to get up early tomorrow; you guys can sleep in.
Boober: (stifling a yawn, holding Beast's rope) Which is different from every other day, how?
Kim: ...

-Kim

 

[The Count]

Glad you got 'em Kim. *Hums a little ditty here... And an itchy here... And a funny little cheer... Doo wah, that's everybody's song.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Anyone around?
Red: I am! Oh I'm so glad you are here!
Beth: Oh yeah? How come?
Red: I need a ride to the mall!
Beth: Figures. What do you need there?
Red: A new swimsuit, mine broke.
Beth: Ah, well, I suppose we can do that. Where's everyone else?
Red: Around somewhere. Come on, let's go!
Beth: No rest for the weary.

Ryan: I dare say... it seems I've been scarce around this here university campus lately.
Gonzo: It sounds like you've been to England and back!
Ryan: *scoffs* Hop the pond? Gonzo, old bean, you're quite the triffling suspect, are you aware of that? No, no, chap, I haven't been to the mother-land and back--just been catching up on some jolly good reading, you know, eh wot.
Gonzo: ...what kind of reading?
Ryan: Oh the new-age classical tales of master Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Gonzo.
Gonzo: Ah ha... well... enjoy that. I'm off to go do something much more exciting than listen to you babble on with that awful British accent.
Ryan: Say what thou will about my accent, scurvy gnave, I'll smite thee with just the touch of me magic whip!
Gonzo: ...I have no idea what that was.
Ryan: *clears throat* Neither do I.
Gonzo: *laughs* It's good to have you back Ry!
Ryan: *shrugs* I don't really think I went anywhere... but thanks Gonzo!
