Urgent Announcement!!!

[Phalon]

Ok, so it's not really urgent, and probably doesn't deserve all those exclaimation points, but now that I have your attention...

Scrappy seems to have some sort of Reverse Midas Touch thing going - everything she touches turns to cr@p, at least where her computer is concerned. Yep, she's blown computer number two in as many weeks.

<sniff and sob> I shall miss our Dear Ol' Scrappletta; a good Poppet such this world has ever seen. (I'm not so sure on the wording of that, but imagine a Charles Dickensesque quote at the end of A Christmas Carol.)

But have hope that she will return into our fold very soon, so we don't fold in her absense. (I hope I'm giving this the proper melodrama it deserves.)

Meantime, channeling Scrappy (Channel 7 if you'd like to tune in), she's asked me to let you know she's sorry, but the game is on hold until she is back up and running (running from what and why, it's best left unknown...that way there are no unwilling accomplices).

Psst...while she's gone, I motion that we abandoned the Elf Huts and move into the Hostess Condo.

Psst! I totally agree Phalon! Poor scrappalicious! I hope she gets sorted soon!

[Mini Mia]

Could it be a power surge? I'm sure she had a surge protector though, so nevermind.

[Phalon]

Not sure, Joxie. She was going to take it somewhere to have it looked at today. Hopefully it wasn't too bad, or too expensive to fix.

Her first crash sounded like one of the computers I blew - went totally bizarre right before she found herself staring at the Black Screen of Death. There's no Black Screen this time, so maybe it's just the Green-Under-the-Gills Screen of Sickness that's infecting it.

I second that motion, well third it actually as Vox has already seconded it.

Take as long as ya need Scrapp' we'll keep things in order here, we'll even get the cleaners in to remove the Champagne stains outta the carpet before we leave.

[Phalon]

Psst.....psst. PSST!!!! Hey, people! Quiet down for a second.

Channeling Scrappy, I discovered she might be stopping in via her first cousin's half-sister's ex-brother-in-law's new wife's aunt's neighbor's computer today.

Katina, get those carpet cleaners steaming. Vox stop chugging that champagne long enough to get your husband off the ceiling fan. Lola, help Katina with the carpet....afterall, half the stains are from your Chia pet; you really outta work on house training that thing.

FruitDepp, don't just stand there looking fruitilicious - iron us some grilled cheese sandwiches!!!!

HIDE!!!!

i ain't in it, Scrappy!

[Phalon]

Oh, sure.....looks all smiley and innocently rolling back and forth like that. Pfft! A cover-up if I ever saw one.

Maybe it was him, Scrappy, and none of us others had anything to do with the bubble ring around the inside of your jacuzzi, the oatmeal splattered on the wall, the silly string clogging the heating ducts, and grape jelly footprint on the ceiling.

[jonjon3168]

i don't even like grape jelly!

[Scrappy Amazon]

Man. I can not turn my back on you for an instant can I? Kill a couple computerws and I pay for it with jelly prints on the ceiling. Fine. Now that everyone is on their best behavior. For at least the next minute or two. Check the appropriate threads for changes and updates.

AND GET THAT REINDEER OUT OF MY TUB!

When did Scrappy get back? I've got some catching up to do. And I've got get some of these stains out of my thermals; yikes, party like a rockstar then run is my motto.
