Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*From the common room ghoullery...
UD: In on the ground floor eh? Dare say you were there all fright... Six feet under!
*Evil laughter echoeing through the hall erupts.

 

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *drags a large box into the middle of the room* Guys! Your costumes are here! Come try them on!

Everyone crowds around the box, pulling out articles of clothing.

Sweetums: *holding up a tattered tunic and pants* Aw, you're kidding me! I should've known.... *takes them into the other room*

Bean: *puts on a pair of think round glasses* I can't see with these on.... *walks into a wall*

Rizzo: Oh no! No way jose! You ain't gettin me inta wunna dose outfits. And I am NOT gunna be Wormtail! Nuh-uh!

Alex: Aw, Rizzo, be a sport! And I did not give you Wormtail. Just try it on, please?

Rizzo: Okay, fiiine....

Animal: *holding up what appears to be a stuffed dog's head* Huh? *attempts to put it on*

Link: *puts on an expensive looking black robe and carries a staff* Well I for one looooove my costume. I do make a rather suave Lucious.... *stares at himself in a mirror*

Sweetums: *enters, dressed as Hagrid* It fits pretty nicely...

Bean: *wearing a black robe and trying to walk in his Harry Potter glasses*

Rizzo: *also wearing a black robe, hood over his head - his fur looks eerily pale* Heh heh, not bad, ey Bean? *pretends to flick his wand*

Bean: Aaaahhh......... *rubs his forehead and winces*

Sweetums: So, who are you supposed to be, anyway, Alex?

Alex: *finishes putting her hair in pigtails and puts on a pair of glasses* Who, me? Haha.... I'm Moaning Myrtle! WHHHooaaaaaaaooooaaaaaaa....... *begins to cry*

 

[The Count]

UD, skulking by before the dawn approaches...: So, is Animal meant to be Serius, last male descendant of the noble and ancient House of Black? Not bad rat, let me know if you require the snake as well. Hmm, shouldn't Bean also have a glove with "I must not tell lies" on it? Yes, Sweetums was born for the role of the groundskeeper. And Link, don't smash the prophecy this time or you'll have more to fear than ruined robes this time around.

*Gives his nod of approval, then flits downstairs to relay the latest Halloween news.
*Bats are finishing the touches in the common room while the monsters set the games in place with the usual creepy carnival flair around the dormhouse.

Ah, don't we love it, don't we love it... This our town of Hensonween!

 

[The Count]

*Arranges the string of festive skulls around the hallway railings, sets a jack o'lantern out on the front landing, lovingly pets Fatatatita while wrapping her nametag/violet ribbon around her neck.
Come on Fatatatita... You know we have to make sure you're safe during Halloween. Don't think anyone in town would snatch you and... *Breaks off, unable to finish the sentence, disgusted with reports from a few years ago as to what people did to black cats especially around this time of year.
*Hugs Fatatatita tightly before letting her go play with Gaffer after her breakfast.

*Scoops out pumpkin pieces for some Halloween pumpkin peanut butter waffles.
Delish!

 

[Erine81981]

Ahhhhhhh just glad to be off today.

Homer Honker: Honk honk honk?

We are having Spaghetti.

Homer Honker: Honk?

Because it's one of my favorites to eat and Herry enjoys it too.

Homer Honker: Honk!

Good. Glad to know you enjoy it too. It's be a while till i start to make it. So let's watch some TV.

Homer Honker: *hopes over the couch landing softly* Honk!

Ok you get to choose what we watch.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: (to Lefty) What did Marion Crane ever do to you? Huh? She was just really tired, and she wanted a nice place to spend the night before she turned herself in to the cops!
Beige: Yeah, and most people don't expect a knife in the back when they're showering, ya know that?
Nora: Calm down, boys. (to Erin) So why don't we set up the church tower from Vertigo?
Erin: Three reasons: ceiling's not high enough, my fear of heights is just as bad as Scotty Ferguson's, and you yourself said you didn't want to play Madeline and Judy.
Storyteller: All this emphasis on Hitchcock and horror movies...let's throw in a few ghouls and spooks from Fragglian folklore, to balance things out.
Scooter: Okay...all right, the kitchen's set up with the haunted bridge from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow...
Beige: The hallway's got the trapdoor with Poison Cacklers crawling out...
Erin: Nora's and my room is rigged up with the Shrieking Shack...
Nora: The boys' room is set up for "Werewolves of London,"
Storyteller: The bathroom's got the River Styx and Charon's ferry, my hut's got the Terrible Tunnel, and the common room's set up for Act II of Ruddigore.

 

[The Count]

To Scooter: You mean the Bridge of Souls? *Evil grimace thinking of ol' HH. You know, I admire the gusto you and Erin and the others in your room set up for Halloween. A little jealous I don't have our living tomb as well done, but the rest of the dorms have to be tended to in turn. Oh well...
*Shakes Scooter's hand, slipping him a baggy of devilfood brownies to share with the others.

Oh, and make sure you have plenty of pennies... Don't think Charon would like to be stiffed out of his ferr rates.
*Evil chuckle.

*Makes sure my own costume's ready and pressed and laundered for the weekend.

 

[The Count]

*Spraying a few brownies with scaramel topping... Well, noone said he had to be thaaaaaaat old. He could be a hep groovah busdriver, slammin' and whammin' that thing with the music pounding rauckously. It's all about how you change the characters slightly so they seemlessly meld into whoever's portraying the role. Kinda of dressing up for Halloween, making your costume character yourself.

*Demonstrates by whirling around, changed clothes into a technologically assisted Batman persona to compensate for my blindness.
*Spins around back to his normal self.

See. But hey, whoever you wanna be for the frightfest fun's fine with me. *Gives Ailie a batch of the finished brownies to take back to her room.
Now where'd I put those melted chocolate dinghies?

 

[BEAR]

Bryan: (walking into the lobby of the Dormhouse with luggage in hand) Hey, Everybody! I'm baack! (sees jack-o-lanterns and cobwebs and other spookiness filling the corners and crevaces of the dorms) Creepy...I see Ed and his "fiends" have been at work. Well, atleast I won't find any spiders and ghouls in my room. (Walks down the hallway and smells something foul, like the city dump) What is that smell?...(walks closer to the door of room 29 and hears clanks and clunks coming from the room) Huh? (opens the door)
(Inside the room is filled with junk, trash and garbage...crumples newspaper, rotting banana peels, rusted bicycle wheels, empty tunafish cans)
Oscar: This is going to be great.
Bryan: Oscar? Oscar, what are you doing?
Oscar: (with excitment) Just decorating my room. Doesn't it look terrible?
Bryan: Terrible is an understatement. And what do you mean your room?
Oscar: Well, you have been gone for so long, I figured you weren't coming back. So, I thought, what a great opportunity to design my dream grouch condo. Hey, hand me that bag of apple cores over there. I'm going to hang them from the cieling fan.
Bryan: Oh no you're not! This is my--(A moaning is heard from outside) What's that?
Oscar: Oh, that's Big Bird.
Bryan: Big Bird?
Oscar: Yeah, the big canary has been moaning and crying all week when he thought you weren't coming back. Music to a grouch's ears. Hehe!
Bryan: I better go see him. And you better start cleaning this up.
Oscar: Clean? Not my vocabulary.
Bryan: Now!
Oscar: Hehehehe!

(Outside...)
Big Bird: (sitting in his nest with Radar) Well, Radar...I guess it's true. He's not coming back.
Bryan: Big Bird.
Big Bird: Huh? Bryan! You're back!
Bryan: (gives Big Bird a big hug almost getting lost in his fluffy yellow feathers) Of course I'm back!
Big Bird: But Beth said you were getting married, but she said that didn't mean that you would just never come back.
Bryan: Well, she was right.
Big Bird: But then it had been so long, I was starting to think the opposite.
Bryan: Well, I'm here now. Does that restore your faith?
Big Bird: You bet it does! Oh there is so much to tell you about! (the bird starts rattling off all the things Bryan's missed since being away)
Bryan: (listens carefully making sure he catches everything.)

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Hey, awesome!
Gobo: What's all the excitement about?
I think I heard Bryan upstairs!
Wembley: Oh boy, that's just great! Can we go up and see him?
Gobo: Wembley, I'm sure he's tired.
Oh, I'm sure he won't mind if we just go and say hi. Besides, that was a while ago that I heard him.
Gobo: Gosh, you're almost as exciteable as Wembley!
Wembley: And just what is wrong with that?
Me: *laughing* Nothing at all. I'm just excited he's finally back is all.
*They leave the room.*
*at Bryan's door* Hi Bryan, welcome back!
Wembley: Yeah, welcome back! Uh, where'd ya go again?
Gobo: *whispering* He got married, Wembley. Remember?
Wembley: Oh yeah.
Gobo: Congradulations Bryan.
Wembley: Yeah, congradulations Bryan!
Me: *smiling* Congradulations Bryan. I hope it all went well!
