Welcome to the 69th Muppet Family Reunion! (Plus Extended Family)

[You received the invitation for the Muppet Family Reunion about a week ago. These reunions have become a routine thing for you and the extended Muppet Family. Whether it be by plane, car, cave tunnel, or magic, you made your way to Emily Bear's house and settled in for the night. Emily Bear was nowhere in sight to greet you, but, surely that's nothing to be worried about.

However, upon waking up, you'll find that a fierce blizzard has descended upon the house overnight--several feet of snow have piled up on the front porch, and, from the looks of it, the snow won't let up anytime soon. Not to mention the fact that Emily is still not here.

Something feels wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

You may notice a small note pinned to the wall where you slept, which reads:]


COME TO LIVING ROOM AT NOON FOR IMPORTANT FAMILY MEETING :)

[Whatever this meeting is about, you have some time to explore the house and chat with the other people gathered here.]

(ooc: Welcome to the Muppet Murder Hour mock trial week! The host NPC will show up around 5 pm est. Until then, feel free to explore the house and interact with everyone else!)

Øøøh! Këëtlë då fëssh?

[When did this guy get here? It doesn't matter, because the Swedish Chef is here to take everyone's orders. Orders for what? Don't worry about it.]

Mëë nû bëfëssh dê cöök, yå?

[oh dear. one of these things. why can't they all just speak Goblin or English? he catches enough of the warbling vowels to follow, though, and looks down at the Chef as only a king can]

Oh, it's an expression, you. I don't actually have any fish. And where the hell is our hostess? I don't suppose you've seen her.
swedishchef: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] swedishchef 2018-04-29 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Nû fëssh?

[The Chef seems rather disappointed by this revelation. At Jareth's question, he shakes his head.]

Smërgnë høørf yå. Hëng béég snøw, plään dë åîr dëlëëy, yå?

[The snow is pretty rough outside, after all.]
asksforsolittle: (get me outta here)

Well, she's a bear. One would think it wouldn't slow her down too much.
.. I suppose you got a funny little note in your room, too.
swedishchef: (OKEY)

[personal profile] swedishchef 2018-04-29 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. Nërg hørf smíck dë chëf!

[He holds it up for Jareth to see. He was thinking of maybe making something nice and bringing it so people could snack during the meeting!]

Hüü dëw öö fëëlæ bûû pøpcørn?

About what? [it takes him aback. what on Earth is a popcorn?!]

I suppose I couldn't say. But if you're the chef, I wouldn't mind some grapes. Or cheese. ... You know who I am?

swedishchef: (mmmm)

[personal profile] swedishchef 2018-04-29 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...Pøpcørn? Cørn dë pøp?

[Does he not have popcorn back in his world? He could be like a Fraggle--terribly picky, and difficult to cook for.

He searches his tiny Muppet brain to remember who this guy is, exactly. There are just too many Muppet family members to keep track of. So, he warrants a tentative guess.]

No! ... What sort of a name is that?! I'm the Goblin King, Jareth. I've heard of corn, but... I must say I've never seen it... pop. Does it taste different? It sounds intriguing.

swedishchef: (HURR)

[personal profile] swedishchef 2018-04-29 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Jærééth.

[Close enough.]

Øøh! Pøpdëcørn hëëv måcha måcha dë bøøtar ün søølt. Fëërst, øø schîkëë ündë mîcrøvwøøvën ën øø cøøk dë tøø mîns. Då, dëëgët dëë büül ën pøøt dë pøpcørn ün dëbüül. Pøpcørn!

[...It doesn't seem like he's talking about homemade popcorn.]

[it doesn't much matter, since Jareth wouldn't know what the devil a microwave is, anyway. he smiles toothily]

Excellent. You may make me some.
swedishchef: (confused)

[personal profile] swedishchef 2018-04-29 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives Jareth a thumbs up.]

Ookey dookey!

[...And off he goes, into the kitchen. Beeping noises can be heard, as well as a lot of popping. Like, way too much.

After approximately two minutes, he returns with a pipping hot bowl of buttery popcorn. Jareth might catch a glimpse of popcorn overflowing from the microwave onto the floor in the kitchen.]


Hëër üø gü!

Oh!

[it's a pleasant, soft noise of surprise, as he takes the bowl and sees how very light it is. He picks up a kernel, slick with imitation butter, and delicately puts it in his mouth. it nearly melts, and his eyes light]

You are an excellent chef. This ... popcorn ... pleases me. Is it native to your Homeland?
