Purr in Boots Posted Jan 29, 2003
**Purr withdraws his paw, trying to acclimate to the Mid-Western motif and rugged etiquette of this stage.**
[Purr] Glad to meet yeou, Billy Kid. Were yeou ssent to guide uss arround, or do yeou jusst worrk here?
Pecos Jail
The Ugly (but rather big) Duckling Posted Jan 30, 2003

Quack-ack-ack-ack-ack!

Blue-Eyed BiPedal BookWorm from Betelgeuse (aka B4[insertpunhere]) Posted Jan 30, 2003
**With typical feline reflexes, Purr scoops up the Duck from the scorching sand and places it gingerly on the bench in front of the Jail.**

(A large black cat in a trenchcoat signals to B4, who has blundered on-stage)
Get off the set, you twerp! You're butchering my lines!

Blue-Eyed BiPedal BookWorm from Betelgeuse (aka B4[insertpunhere]) Posted Jan 30, 2003
What?! Oh...again? 
(B4 clambers off the edge of the set, shucks the medieval garments, gives them to Purr, then 
ishly makes his way back to his theatre seat)

Thistle Howl - a frighteningly cute Critter of the Night Posted Jan 30, 2003
*arives in the desert with a handfull of seaweed.* Oooops! Do you think Mr. Humpty will be mad at me?
*shakes herself ineffectively and tries to push her hair bow out of her eyes*
We're still wet? Oh, man, I was really hoping we'd get virtually dry when we changed scenes.

Buttercup the Pantomime Cow Posted Jan 30, 2003

**Purr takes off the trenchcoat, tosses it over B4’s head, then slings the leather satchel into his midsection.**
[B4] Ooommph!
[Purr] Iff yeou continue to sswitch places like thiss, Ai will scrratch yeour eyess out! Underrstand, little man?
[B4] (pulling the sleeve and collar of the trenchcoat down so he makes eye contact with Purr) Yeah… Sure… No problem…
[Purr] (dons his costume once again, then wends his way back onto the set of Pecos Jail, muttering) Honesstly! What boorrish mannerrs these Amerricanss have…
[B4] (perplexed how the situation even occurred) Man, if it’s not LARGE induhviduals layin’ down the law of theatre etiquette, it’s dealing with hyper-sensitive wannabe actors…
[Purr] (overhearing the slur, hisses at B4) Hsssss! (who stuffs a corner of his trenchcoat into his mouth to muffle any further comment)

Buttercup the Pantomime Cow Posted Jan 30, 2003
*tries to distract from the fracas with a song*
[Front]: 
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Now the tale's unfoldin'
Keep the story rollin'
Wet hide!
Now we must wonder whether
The water's ruined our leather
Wishing that we were home and dried.
It will be a blessin'
When the time comes for undressin'
If we're not tightly stuck inside.
[Back]:
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Wet hide
Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Wet hide!
Wet hide!
Wet hide!

Ugly Duckling, there's a round stone trough next to the jail!

The Ghost of Zello (now with a crash helmet and goggles) Posted Jan 31, 2003
*Grandma glides over to Billy. A careful observer would notice that there are no footprints left where she walks. In fact, when the bottom of the nightgown swirls up a little as she walks, there are no feet visible.*
OOoooo.... [Hello...]
OooOOooooOo [Dang! I forgot I don't have a regular voice anymore]
OOOOOooooooOOOOooo [Forget the distraction, Reb, just go for it!]

*the mice slip down off the bench and vanish into a mouse hole in the wall*
