Tropers: The Series

Ghost!Melody: Whooos thaaaat?

Melody: -while putting Harmony in a cat carrier- I don't know!

Harmony: Meeeow!

"That's Mr. Skittle's twin brother Cecilia. Ehh, I'm hungry anyway. We'll see you fellas after brunch."
CECILIA: "Hooray!"
(And so, Chey and Ford go off with Cecilia.)

Melody: Who is Mr Skittle though?

"Our neighbor back at Tropesburg. Do you remember the Landlord Plant's funeral? He and his wife showed up with a plate of cupcakes. Turns out they put animal organs in them and I ended up in the hospital after throwing up everything I ever ate in the past two days."

"The Landlord Plant had a funeral? I missed so much..."

"Me too. Honestly, it's amazing that I was able to make this split second appearance!"

"The funeral was really lame. It happened in the Season 2 finale, which was a Musical Episode. Remember that, Ford?"
"Oh, yes. That was... interesting."

"Wait, I missed out on a Musical Episode? Awww..."

Suddenly, the lights dim, and a spotlight shines.

"What have I done? What have I done? How could I be so bli-"

Puma suddenly stops and looks around awkwardly, and the lighting goes back to normal.

"Sorry. This really isn't the time for that, is it?"

"And so now, We're looking for random objects for this season while battling Fussenpepper and the Landlord Plant's lovechild. Oh, and people think Ford and I are dating but we can assure it, We're not dating.... yet."

"Oh yeah, that Musical Episode! Now I wish I had prepared my Laserglitch music for that one..."

"...and I've actually been here the whole time!"

"Wait a moment, We've spent all this time talking that we forgot something...Oh, yeah. We were following Mr. Skittle's twin brother back to where he was staying."
(Zoom out to reveal the exterior of the hotel Cecilia is staying at.)
CECILIA: "Vell, here wee are! "
"Oh, Belgium."

(bump. And so, The Tropers and Ford go inside the hotel where Cecilia was staying.)
"Hey, Ford? Why not go with Cecilia and the others while I get everyone their own rooms?"
"Alright..."
(Ford then goes off with the others while Chey stays at the receptionist desk. Cut to Ford and the Tropers arriving at Cecilia's hotel room.)
CECILIA: "Velcome to my room!"
"Hm. Well, this room is quite nice. So, where are we having lunch at? I'm starving."
CECILIA: "Wee cooked before ve left! My wife is a contortionist and so she performs in acro-dance shows with her troupe. Her troupe is on tour, so that's why we're in China."
"I thought you two were on holiday?"
CECILIA: "We are! In a way, that is..."
???: "Cecilia! There you are."
(Enter a quite gorgeous red-haired woman.) CECILIA: "Ahhh, here comes the love of my life! Melinda, This is Frood Perfect and the Troopers! Shay should be here in a few minutes."
"Um, actually, it's Ford Prefect, those are the Tropers, and Chey is just checking all of us in."
MELINDA: "Hello, Ford. We've heard some nice things about you all from Cecilia's brother's lett-"
"We know."
MELINDA: "Ahh, aren't you a handsome fella?"
"Uhhh, thanks?"
(Chey walks in the room.)
"Well, good news! We all got rooms tonig- Oh, hello."
MELINDA: "Hi, Chey."
(Chey then goes over to Ford and whispers in his ear.)
"Ford, who is she?"
"Cecilia's wife."

I rush in after Chey and Ford.

"Whoah, I shouldn't have chosen now to Archive Binge this thread...and I've still got 50 pages left."

I see Melinda.

"Who's this?"

"Who's who?" A muffled voice sounded out, from a place of mysterious origin.

"Huh?"

I pull out my Bag of Holding, and look inside. I see a mouse.

I very familiar mouse.

"Taco...?"

Taco, squinting at all the light, looks up at Tropes. "What the- this isn't the apartment? Ah damn it, I'm a mouse right now, aren't I?"

Taco, who is splayed near a dark corner of the bottom of the bag on a Kleenex napkin, set up with a miniature television, sits up, stretching his back, cracking it.

"OOF! My word... How are you doing, Tropes? What'd I miss?"

"The executives packed us off on a journey around the world to get artifacts. We're being led by a new person named Eevee Girl Chey, and Ford Prefect from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Whatever anyone tells you, they're not dating. Tales, however, does have a girlfriend."

"Also the Landlord Plant died and I think its son is trying to kill us? Along with Captain Fussenpepper, whoever he is."

Taco processes this for a second, running down a checklist in his head.

"Have you tried... scamming this Fussenpepper dude out of his money?"

"Uhhh, no. Anyways, hi Taco. I'm Chey, the most American-sounding Time Lady there is and this is my partner Ford. And apparently, the ginger-haired lady who's fixing a sandwich is Mr. Skittle's brother's wife."
"....Who happens to be a contortionist."
CECILIA: "Yah! She makes the best egg salad! "
"Egg salad?"
CECILIA: "Yah, she made some last night before we got on the plane to China."
(Melinda goes over to Ford and gives him a egg salad sandwich.)
"Thank you."
(Ford then starts eating.)
"This is pretty good, How did you make it?"
MELINDA: "Just a basic egg salad recipe. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, a lot of mayo, maybe a hint of mustard... I've been training myself to do things with my feet for a while, including cooking. I've stopped for a couple weeks because I had a foot fungus."
"Pardon?"
CECILIA: "It's true! It was nice to see her sitting up on a high stool, mashing up eggs and mixing up stuff with her feet again last night."
(Ford then gags.) "...Excuse me for a moment, I don't feel so well."
(Ford clutches his stomach as he dashes to the bathroom.)
MELINDA: "Strange, I've have many people do that."
"Uhhh, I'll be back." (Chey then goes to the bathroom as Ford is heard throwing up.)

"I don't recall trying that. But I wasn't here for part of it, and I'm only partway through an Archive Binge, so maybe the others did and I missed it."

"Oh yeah. There's also the Skittle family, but I don't think I'll ever be able to explain them."

(Chey opens the bathroom door, Ford is shown hugging the toilet with his head halfway in there.)
"We haven't tried scamming Fussenpepper out of his money yet, But thanks for the idea! Oh, Ford..."
(Chey then shuts the door.)

Taco starts climbing out of Tropes' bag, commenting on Chey and Ford's predicament. "Yeesh. Get a room you two..."

Taco sets his feet on the ground. "Well, I don't have a ride, so I guess I'll stick with you guys."

Noticing Melinda and Cecilia, the gaunt grey mouse raises his hand. He dryly introduces, "Howdy ladies. Name's Taco. And don't worry, I'm not always this adorable."

"Uh...Cecilia's a man."

"How do you know I was talking to him? You don't know that..."

I really need to work on my glaucoma, Taco thought.

"Eh, Touché."
