[Erine81981]

*turns on the radio* It's about to start. The MuppetCast is about to come on.

All four monsters scramble into the living area and sit either on the floor, couch or chairs.

Grover: This one i heard is going to be about that movie "The Dark Crystal."

Murray: I've heard it's really scary.

But don't forget we have several movie stars from the movie living here in the dorms.

Herry: I've seen that one. She looks weird and scary.

Bruce: Ahhhhhhh phooey!

The radio intros the MuppetCast is about to come on

Christine enters Dorm #2 after a long day. She heads over to her nightstand, reaches behind the cordless fountain on its surface, and watches with satisfaction as the water begins to flow. She takes the Flic candle lighter from her drawer, lights the tealight candle (which happens to be linen-scented this time) in the holder, and after the wick takes the flame, she turns off the lighter and puts it back in the drawer. With a sigh, Christine settles onto her bed, cracking open her Bible to a book in the Old Testament.

Nelson: *looks up from reading his RCMP manual* Why, Christine, what's that you're wearing?

Christine: *her eyes come up from a page in Deuteronomy, Chapter 8* Hmm?

Nelson: Your clothes!

Christine: *looks down at herself, sees the cosplay costume she is wearing, and looks back at the orange-skinned Mountie Muppet* Oh! You mean my cosplay outfit? I'm dressed in a uniform like yours. ^_^

Nelson: Well, wouldn't you know it! Someone who appreciates the Canadian Mountie image. *smiles*

Christine: Ya darn tootin'... *suddenly hears what sounds like shrieking noises down the hallway* What on earth...? *puts down her Bible and jumps to her feet and sprints down the hall, her black officer's cape flying back from her shoulders, with Nelson following hot on her heels*

 

[The Count]

*Wonders what "cosplay" really is. Oh well... Off to breakfast and errands as part of the daily grind.

 

[The Count]

Me: So... This is the day Coily's been waiting for and all of a sudden he just backs down?
Look at the springs here in my engine.
Me, once guy opens the hood: Coily's army of darkness!
UD: Big John Hurt is Santa Claus in Little Town of Deathlehem!
Me: I saw mommy killing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last murder!
*All: Gaos... Gaaaaoooos... Galight come and we wanna go home...

*Breakfast bazooka launches payload of cereal, burying Tony an his roomies under an avalanche of Corn Pops ending the outburst.

Beth *hangs up phone*: I hope Ed got my message all right over there.
Abby: Look, the sun is out, we should play outside today!
Beth: Sounds like a good idea, I have to go to work though.
Red: I can play outside with you Abby.
Abby: Ok!
Beth: Maybe if I can get home early enough I can go to the park with you guys
Red: Yay!

 

[The Count]

Thanks, got it Beth.

 

[Katzi428]

Hmmm...scratching my head Now I remember what it was like to be back in high school.
Prairie: Why do you say that,Kath?
Well.. I'm trying to get started on something.But I keep getting sidetracked with other things.
Rosita: Do you have a deadline on it?
No...not really. But it just keeps nagging at me.
Prairie:Well..whatever it is,I'm sure you'll get it done and it'll be great!
I hope so!

 

[The Count]

*Home again... Okay, heard from Beth earlier today. Now who can I ask for help with descripts...
Composta: What you need help with?
Me: Oh hi Composta. Well... If anybody's seen it, the Number of the Day sketch from Sesame where Count was at his numbered organ...
Which number vas it?
Me: 16, the bit where a Muppet number 16 came out dressed like a pageant queen.
Vasn't she voiced by Ms. Brill?
Me: Yeah, maybe Kathy saw it and could help, especially since it's available at the SST video website.
Composta: You need anything else?
Me: Yes, after that I'd still need a descript of the receptionist from Beetle Juice.
Composta: What that?
Me: It's a ghoulishly good movie, one of my faves.
UD, skulking indoors: Is there a chance we might watch that one tonight?
Me: Maybe tomorrow... Still have to cue up those FR episodes. And there's the exciting possibility/opportunity Muppetfreak announced here just yesterday.
Well... Busy little demonlings are we. Come now, dinner's almost about to be delivered.
*Fughetta glides in with the meal contained in individual containers as we set the table for all to enjoy.

(room 7: Scooter and Erin are tuning up guitars, Beige has a set of bongos, and Nora is going through vocal warmups with a microphone)

Storyteller: (adjusting settings on stereo, and playing notes on Fraggle flute) All right, time for another musical moment, from Club Sept.
Beige: So which one are we doing?
Nora: "Smooth Operator."

(music starts, with tango/samba sort of rhythm)

Erin: Take it, Nora.

Nora: (spoken)
He's laughing with another girl,
he's playing with another heart,
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache,
He's loved in seven languages,
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky,
Heaven help him when he falls.

Scooter: (shifting frets on guitar) Sounds like James Bond.

Nora: (singing)
Diamond life, lover boy,
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy...
City lights and business nights,
When you require streetcar desire for higher delights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts,
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start. (spoken, to others) Chorus, please.

N and E:
No need to ask, he's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

Nora:
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male...
'Cross the north and south to Key Largo, love for sale...

Face to face, each classic case, we shadow box and double cross, yet need the chase...
A license to love, insurance to hold, melts all your memories and change into gold...his eyes are like angels, but his heart is cold...

Beige: (quickly tapping bongos) Then give him CPR or something!
Storyteller: (after playing a flute note) Beige, you're wrecking the meter!

Nora and Erin:
No need to ask, he's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

Nora:
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male...
'Cross the north and south to Key Largo, love for sale...

N & E:

Smooth operator...smooth operator...smooth operator...

(song finishes up)

* tune in question was "Smooth Operator," by Sade. Love that song.

Me, Murray and Herry stand at Erin's door clapping from listening to their little music diddy

Herry: Bravissimo! *clapping,kisses his fingers*

Awsome work guys and women! *clapping*

Murray: That was great! *clapping*

We walk on back to our room

They were really good.

Herry: We might need to have them come and watch a little diddy of our own.

Yep. I'll ask them over sometime this week. But i have to call Ed up. Ask him a question. *calls up Ed* Hey Ed. Good to hear from you. Sorry i haven't been out and about but i had a question you might be able to answer. I was wondering. I'm working on the Muppet Wiki right now and was wondering do you know the actual season of Plaza Sesamo that's showing right now?
