Teacup Cafe XXXIX

[Tessar]

This is the commercial. He kisses the giraffe right at the end. Apparently it reminds my parents of me. O_o

Of course, when I see this, I think, "Direct TV does not understand New Russians. He would get the most expensive cable he could find."

[Tessar]

Well this one is obviously a bit different because he loves to savings the monies.

Fortunately there are Dr. Who and Händel and Mahler.

Mahler! Yay!
Das Lied von der Erde, anyone?

[Mari]

I love his Symphony #2 actually
Ooh, I suddenly want to listen to that again now
He has some good choral pieces too. And Hector just kindly supplied me with more choral works. He is my main source for good classical music, though we sometimes quite disagree on the quality of singing or what pieces are good or not

"Tonight on W-M.O.O.T. an alternate version of an episode of the Twilight Zone..."

Hector: "You unlock this thread with the Key of Eloquence. Beyond it another dimension. A dimension of words, a dimension of posts, a dimension of threads. You're moving into a Cafe of both shadow and substance. Of things and ideas. You've just crossed into the..."

ENTMOOT ZONE!

Hector: “Mootress Mari and Café security officer Troll’s Bane and the third member of the party, the unknown. It has just landed a few hundred yards away. This person or thing is soon to be met. This is the Teacupe Café, but is also a clearing in the shadows known as the…ENTMOOT ZONE!”

A car slowly glides past Troll’s Bane and he watches in surprise at it crashes into a tree. He runs over, while the lounge door to the café opens and Mari looks out.

As TB gets closer he sees the car wrapped around the tree. He walks around it checking it. Mari walks over.

Mari: “Havent you ever heard of emergency breaks?”

TB: “Yep, heard and used. But this emergency break was on.”

Mari turns her head and looks at him in surprise.

Mari: “But there is only the two of us, and neither of us was near the car. So, who pushed it?”

TB: “Maybe nobody. Maybe the breaks just gave out.”

Mari has gone in again. TB walks over to his cruiser. On it he spots several huge fingerprints.

The scene shifts to Mari sitting and listening to TB.

TB: “It was carried in somebody’s hand. There were fingerprints on the car. Big fingerprints.”

They go out again and in a clearing finds a huge depression in the shape of footprint.
TB checks the depth of it as Mari walks up. Mari looks around.

Mari: “It’s a footprint:”

TB: “Yeah, that’s what it is alright. It’s a footprint. Look at the size of…”

Mari: “Let’s get out of…”

Closup on Mari, terrified.

[Grey_Wolf]

A cyclopic alien giant has appeared in the clearing. A metallic sound comes from it. Mari half-lies on the ground as TB runs up to her. The giant just moves his upper body back and forth. TB draws his firarm and aims it at the creature which is still swaying gently. Tb aims and fires his gun. The creature appears to be falling down. A wooshing sound is heard. TB is forced back a heavy wind. The creature coninues to deflate until it falls on top of the two of them. Everything turns dark. Then we are shown the material of the deflated being and soon TB shows up and then he helps Mari out.
They look at the thing amazed, Mari somewhat winded.

TB: “It’s a balloon! Fantastic!”

They look at the still deflating creature.

TB: “It’s unbelievable! But that’s what it is! It’s a balloon!”

Mari: “is that it? Is that what we’ve been frightened of? A fugitive from a Thanksgiving parade?”

TB looks around, looking decisive: “Not quite.”

He spots a miniature flying sauver nearby and he and Mari runs over and kneels by it.

TB: “Take a look at it, Mari. Take a look at the soure of our nightmare.”

A tiny, tinny voice can be heard from the saucer.”Flight leader, flight leader, this Earth explorer One. Must report failure, repeat, must report failure. Burn treat as ordered. Dug up shoeprint. Sprayed fingerprints on Earth vehicle. Moved by magnet. Inflated giant figure. “ Mari and TB looks around in the small viewport in the craft. We are shown what’s inside. Two miniscule beings stand there. Wer are shown the faces of Mari and TB in the interior viewport.”Entire operation ended with Earthmen stated to be frightened, repeat, Earthmen stated be frightened. Request permission to depart Earth, repeat, request permission to depart Earth. Please, oh please, great leader, before the crush us.”

A sound and light is emitted from the craft, TB and Mari are startled and retreats as the craft takes off. They look up in the sky watching it rise into the sky.

TB: “You know something. I wish them luck.” He looks wistful.”Maybe the next place the land, they can be the giants.”

Mari: “What of our next visitors? What if they are giants?”

TB: “Why, I think you'd spit in their eye. That’s what I think.”

Mari smiles.

Hector’s voice is heard over the scene of the clearing.”Fear, of course, is extremely relative. It depends on who can look down and who must look up. It depends on other vagaries - like the time, the mood, the darkness. But it’s been said before with great validity - the worst thing there is to fear is fear itself. Tonight’s tale of terror and tiny people on the ENTMOOT ZONE.”

Cup of tea anyone? I want my blankie and a pillow to take a nap. Or should I go for the tea to wake me up? Difficult, difficult... >_<

[Midge]

How can you take a nap if you're drinking tea to wake you up?

[Ingwe]

Hello again, mighty Teacup attendees! How be your glorious day?

It be glorious indeed. Hope yours are the same.

Well, obviously it would be an either or-decision.
I went for the tea by the way. Taking a nap at 8 PM didn't seem very sensible.

Gloriously bright and sunny!
And I'm getting things done as well, which is a good thing.

”Tonight on W-M.O.O.T. this alternate version of the Eye-gor scene from Young Frankenstein…”

Varna has just gotten off the train and onto the platform. The train puffs off. The mist swirls heavily over the area. Varna looks at his watch and walks over to the bench where his case and a bag stands. Shuffling steps are heard approaching. Varna looks around and then in the direction from which the steps are coming. The mist continues to swirl about, hiding the person approaching. Varna looks into the opaque white screen, alarmed at not seeing whoever it is that is coming in his direction.
“Mr Frankenstein?” a coarse voice inquires.
Hector looks up at Varna, his weird eyes and smile slightly alarming. (typical 30s thriller music briefly played.)
“Fronkonstein.” Varna corrects him.
Hector looks at him, slightly annoyed. “You’re putting me on.”
Varna. “No, it’s pronounced Fronkonsteen.”
Hector. “Do you also say Frodorick?”
Varna. “No, Frederick.”
Hector. “Why isn’t it Frodorick Fronkonsteen?”
Varna. “It isn’t. It’s Frederick Fronkonsteen.”
Hector. “I see.”
Varna. “You must be Igor.”
Hector. “No, it’s pronounced I-gor.”
Varna. “But, they told me it was Igor.”
Hector, saucily. “Well, they were wrong then, weren’t they?”
Varna. “You were sent by herr Falkstein, weren’t you?”
Hector. “Yes, my grandfather used to work for your grandfather.”
Varna, giving a little giggle. “How nice.”
Hector, cheerfully. “Of course, the rates have gone up.”
Varna. “Of course, of course. I’m sure we’ll get along splendidly.” He pats Hector on the hump on his shoulder. A hollow sound is heard.”Oh, sorry, I…ahh. You know, I don’t want to embarrass you, but I’m rather a brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.”
Hector. “What hump?”
Varna, now slightly confused, looks around. “Let’s go!” He reaches for his case.
Hector reaches for it. “Allow me, master.” He grabs hold of the handle, only to realize that it is a bit too heavy.
Varna. “Thanks very much.”
Instead Hector grabs the little bag and makes ready to go. He brings forth a cane. “Walk this way.”
He descends the stairs. Varna follows him and as Hector reaches the street below, he hands Varna the cane. “This way.”
Varna takes the cane and begins to descend the stairs slightly bent over in order for him to walk exactly as Hector has done, until he realizes how ridiculous it must look. He follows Hector, who is momentarily scared by the noise of thunder suddenly erupting. He shuffles up to a wagon standing nearby. Varna follows him. “I think you’ll be more comfortable in the rear.”
Hector walks over to the head of the wagon and gets up on the driver’s seat, while Varna heaves the case over the edge of the wagon. A woman moans slightly from the impact.
Varna. “What was that?”

[Grey_Wolf]

Hector. “Oh, that will be Inga. Herr Falkstein thought you might need a laboratory assistant temporarily.”
Varna clambers up onto the wagon and looks down into it. His case lies ontop of a woman, who’s oooffing,
Acally, as she gets the case off her. “Hallo, would you like to have a roll in the hay?” Varna looks a bit surprised.
Hector looks on with a big smile.
Acally. “It’s fun! Roll, roll, roll in the hay.” She sings nonsensically.
Hector gets the wagon going, and Varna falls off his perch at the of the side of the wagon and into it. As hector uses his whip to to on the horse, the wagon rolls off into the night. They pass through a forest. Varna and Acally sits in the back of the wagon. Another bit of thunder is heard. Acally snuggles up to Varna, slightly alarmed.
Acally. “Ah, sometimes I’m afraid of the lightning.”
Varna, reassures her, explaining very scientifically. “It’s just an atmospheric discharge.”
Acally gives a reliefed moan.” Nothing to be afraid of.”
A wolf’s howl is heard. The couple looks out towards the misty forest.
Acally. “Werewolf.”
Varna. “Werewolf?”
Hector. “There.”
Varna. “What?”
Hector, pointing in the direction of the howl. “There wolf.” Varna gets up to Hector.”There castle.” He says, pointing ahead.
Varna. “Why are talking that way?”
Hector. “I thought you wanted to.”
Varna. “No, I don’t want to.”
Hector. “Suit yourself. I’m easy.”
Varna looks about.
Hector. “Well, there it is.” He points ahead again.”
A promontary is seen in the distance.
Hector. “Home.”
Lightning flashes and thunder is heard. Typical 30s-style horror movie trumpets are heard as the camera zooms in on the dark and foreboding castle.
The wagon arrives in a courtyard.
