2nd Floor Common Room, Wednesday Night

Woohoo! There was a Muppet Marathon on TV tonight! Robin had handwavily spread the word, and then ordered pizza. He'd also taken several trips to get drinks and snacks up here.

Then he settled in for a night of vegging and enjoying such goodies as Wild Bird Chase, Land Down Under, The Muppet Movie, The Muppet Show, The Muppet 30th Anniversary, and of course Robin's personal favorite, The Prince Who Was a Frog.

Momoko's mun missed the link had gotten the word late, but she was totally curious about Robin's uncle's shows, so she snuck into the common room in the middle of one of the shows, trying to be quiet.

At the first commercial, of course, she greeted Robin. "Hi!! Sorry I'm late! Which one is this? What did I miss?"

"Oh! Hey Momoko! This is the Muppet Show. It's one of my favorite episodes too! You missed a movie that Big Bird and Grover were in, another movie that's kind of a behind the scenes thing about the Muppets, and a show about Fraggles. But most of those are on DVD I think if you want to check them out later."
heromaniac: (smile hello)

"I can't wait to see! I'm sorry I missed so much. I'm totally excited to finally see some of the shows! Isn't that your uncle I was seeing a moment ago?"

"Uh huh! He's the host of the variety show, and the producer and director too." He pointed out some of the other cast members. Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, and Sweetums had all been to Fandom in the past. As had Miss Piggy. Robin had a rare tone of dislike in his voice when he mentioned her.
heromaniac: (huh what)

The tone caught Momoko off guard. She paid a bit more attention to the actress, but couldn't see what would make Robin dislike her.

"So you know Miss Piggy, too?" Momoko asked cautiously.

"Well I haven't really ever had much to do with her. She scares me." he confided.
heromaniac: (BW: Momoko is confused)

[personal profile] heromaniac 2011-03-17 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Momoko looked back to the screen. "She scares you? Is she mean or something?" Sure the actress was playing a kind of a mean part, but...

Okay, granted, they did exagerate for the show. And Robin had been pretty young when he first met her. But; "Uh huh. This is kind of like reality TV, and she's kinda like that in real life."
heromaniac: (huh what)

"Really? She seems awfully pushy. If she scares you, why does your uncle keep her around? He can fire her, can't he? Although she seems to be a good actress."

"I think he might be afraid to." She tended to react violently if irritated.
heromaniac: (hello door)

[personal profile] heromaniac 2011-03-18 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? Your uncle didn't seem like the type to scare easily." Momoko wondered. "Are you thinking of going to work for your uncle eventually?"

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Robin thought about that. "Maybe it's just that he's not very confrontational." He sure backed down from her often enough. "I think I'd like to work for him." he nodded. "But not only him. You know? I'd like to have a career apart from what he's doing too." For one thing he wasn't sure what kind of career he wanted.
heromaniac: (big eye wide)

"That makes sense that you'd want to work on your own too. Even if it is a family business." Momoko nodded. She was still not convinced there wasn't some reason for Mr Kermit to not fire the actress, but it apparently didn't bother Robin. "I bet he was proud, though, when you got accepted to that school."

Robin beamed. "He said even he hadn't gotten in when he applied. Of course then Muppets weren't as accepted, or believed to be real. So I think he gets a lot of credit for me getting in on that front."
heromaniac: (yes but)

[personal profile] heromaniac 2011-03-19 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I think all the credit is yours. You work hard and you're always singing and playing music whenever you get the chance. You totally earned it."
