I have absolutely no idea if this will work, but the general idea is to stick your CB persona into a, uh, lounge? A lounge. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever about what a lounge looks like. I assume there is some place to sit.
And you can change something about yourself, I guess. Yeah.
Anybody interested?

Eh. Sure. Why not?
[TNÖ appears in a poof of vaguely purple smoke]
TNÖ: Well this has never happened before. Let's see...
[Overstuffed dirty-orange armchairs and couches, slightly scummy coffee tables, and the odd abandoned plastic food tray poof into existence. TNÖ looks puzzled for a moment, then shrugs and throws herself onto the nearest couch, nudging a napkin out of the way with her foot. She drums her fingers against the armrest.]
TNÖ: My subconscious is still firmly ensconced at Cornell, I see.
[She shakes her head.]
TNÖ: If people don't show up soon, I'm going to start singing Legally Blonde Remix. And, believe me, the last thing anyone wants to hear is me singing an ensemble number with Suddenly, Irish Dancing! by myself. Consider yourselves warned.

*poke*

*is here*
Emily L. Um, hi?
*looks around at the dinginess and overall shabbiness of the room, and food trays*
Emily L. Ew. This place could use some sprucing up.
*A window appears, with bright blue curtains. Outside is a bright garden with trees and a nice lawn.*
Emily L. Kay then. I didn't see that before. I just wish...
*A nice lamp appears*
Emily L. Whoa. Is this place psychic or something? *settles down on a newly appearing chair* What's up?

TNÖ: I believe the traditionally accepted term is 'Keyboard of Power.'
[TNÖ shrugs and settles more comfortably into her couch, holding out a hand for a large, shabby textbook. She lifts it up for Emily to see.]
TNÖ: See? It's tied to the subconscious, of course. When you arrived, this place was a replica of the O.C. in the Cornell commons. Now that you're here...
[She glances skeptically out the window. A bluebird lands on the sill outside and chirps.]
TNÖ: I suspect things are going to get very strange very quickly. ...As to your second question, I have just spent the last two hours practicing high belting and most likely irritating the rest of the household, who are trying to sleep. And failing, because I'm in the bathroom, belting.
[Drops the textbook into her lap and folds her hands over it, beaming.]
TNÖ: And you?

Gigi: *Looks around in confusion* Waaiiit a minute! This isn't the Museum I'm supposed to be counciling at!
Fuzzy the cat: Meow?
Gigi : Oh dear. Fuzzy, I don't think we're in Connecticut anymore!
Gigi: Why does this always have to happen to me? Why can't the fates just leave me alone?
Fuzzy:Meow
Gigi: Helloooo? Anyone home?
Fuzzy: Meoooww?

*poofs in*
Saz: What the...
*Looks around*
Saz: Interesting mix of stuff. Any one know that the male platyapus has poisinous spikes on his back feet?
~That was random, but it's an austrailan thing...~
Saz: So how ya doing?

Gollum: Must... read...Pinkwater!
*a very large novel appears among the trash.*
Gollum: Alas, is covered with cooked *gollum, gollum* fish!
*a box of alchohol wipes appears with a note, Do it yourself*
Gollum: Will do anything for Pinkwater.
*wipes book off, sits in the closest chair and starts reading, while curled up in a ball.*
Many shrieks of laughter ensue.

*Falls into monitor*
Listening Daisy: What the?!
*falls onto a wood floor and starts rubbing her side*
*A few other people look up and wave*
Listening Daisy: Who designed this place?
*Walks over to the window and stares at the garden*
Listening Daisy: This would be a good reading spot, I wish...
*A whole bunh of books seemingly fall from the sky and hit her on the head*
Listening Daisy: Ouch! Oh, this was the book I was just reading a minute ago!
*A basket chair appears and she sits and opens her book, continuing what she had been doing before she opened her computer*

Emily L. Well, I was just eating a cookie and trying to convince my sister that... never mind.
*looks around*
Emily L. It's gotten kind of crowded here suddenly.
*the room suddenly looks a bit wider*
Emily L. That's nice. *perks up* I have a new favorite word. Yayyy! It's tenuous. Does anybody know what it means?

Tiffany W.: -poofs in-
Tiffany W.: Is it my imagination, or did I just poof in. -looks around--SQUEE's loudly-
Tiffany W.: YAY! I poofed into somewhere! To think that something like this would happen on my brother's birthday, of all times -makes a face-
Tiffany W.: -looks around at the very mismatched room-
Tiffany W.: Although, I must say, if they were going to poof me into somewhere, they might have had better furniture choices. I want cheesecake.
Cheesecake: -poofs in-
Tiffany W.: When I do not poof in, I eat cheesecake that has not poofed in. When I have poofed in, therefore, it's perfectly normal to eat cheesecake that has poofed in. -looks around critically at seats--sits down on floor--floor hastily melts away and transforms into the carpet in my room-
Tiffany W.: So. How's life? I like dragons.

*closes cover of book, looks up*
Listening Daisy: Life's good, I've just finished Bitterblue here, why'd you change the flooring though.
*Gets up and puts a toe down on the carpet as if it might bite, then looks over at Emily L.*
Listening Daisy: I think tenuous means: small, delicate or slender or weak. Google also seems to think so, or maybe I think so because google does.
*mutters for a while, then looks up*
Listening Daisy: I personally prefer rats to dragons.
*smiles once then goes back to her basket seat*

*poofs in*
Melody: Nice place. It's nothing like Disney World, though.
*room turns into the Tiki Room*
Melody: Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! I'm finally baaaaaaack!
*hugs nearest CBer, who happens to be TNÖ*
Melody: Oh, hi TNÖ.
*when TNÖ looks annoyed, let's go*
Melody: Sorry, I get kind of excited about Disney.
*show starts*
Melody: *sings* In the Tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room! In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room! *whispered to Emily* Watch this, I know all the lines in the speaking part of the song.
*show ends*
Melody: What ride/show do you want to go on next, you guys?
(July 10, 2012 - 9:37 pm)
TNÖ: [stiffly] Please... don't touch me. I. don't. touch.
[She looks around skeptically]
TNÖ: See? I told you that this was going to get strange very quickly. And you know what we do with strange things, don't you? We poke them with sticks!
[TNÖ reaches out to catch the gnarled branch that has just poofed into existence. She taps the ceiling and nearest wall, which immediately blur and begin to change. The ceiling raises to nearly four times its nearest height and begins to grow rigging, while the wall morphs into a proscenium arch. Various stepped platforms rise out of the floor, and grow several round tables. TNÖ takes a seat at one of the tables, crosses her legs, and snaps her fingers. A cup of tea appears at her elbow, and she sips, smirking. Noise of a city outside.]
TNÖ: [to Melody] What show do I want to do next, you say? Well, if you can take us to Disney World, I can take us to the set of Company.
[She glances sidelong at the flotsam of the last few changes the room has been through: armchairs, food trays, bluebirds et al.]
TNÖ: More or less. Could use a good paint job, of course.
[Instantly, the floor, walls, and ceiling all turn matte black.]
TNÖ: Better.
[She settles back on the stool, leaning one elbow on the table.]
TNÖ: [beaming] So... phone rings, door chimes?

Emily L. The Tiki room?!? And yeah, I know some of the lyrics too. *musical note* Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the birds sing the words and the flowers croon... yeah.
*looks around*
Emily L. I'd really much rather be outdoors, though.
*room gradually, vaguely begins to morph into a pavillion with benches, sitting next to the trail by Wallace Falls.*
Emily L. Ooh, yes. Can we keep it this way? *runs out and leans on the wooden railing over the falls* I find waterfalls hypnotic. And the air here! Feels, like, you're, *gulps deep breaths* breathing, pure, oxygen or something.

Gollum: *in a sing songy voice* Alan Mendelsohn the Boy from Maaaaaaaaaaars, Alan Mendelsohn the Boy from Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa-a-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars.
*various sounds of "tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki..."
Gollum: Does anybody know where I can find (elsohn the Boy from Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-aaaaaaars) the Neeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd??????????
*all sounds of "tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki..." stop. TNO says something about underneath her fez. Melody says in the gift shop. Emily L. mentions Tolkein.*
Gollum: Nassty cohort of Baggins.
