Wow! What an undertaking! Great job. Ahhh Girl’s room looked just like I have imagined. I’m going to be in Cannes next week. Should I propose…

SG using forum smileys in the video. Love it. And it’s great that parlance’s word bubbles bounce like her avatar. Ahhh, how do I ever leave my room?
HKL’s room and TRC’s room also – LOL.

Brilliant, @Starr Shine?! I like how Ron Nasty and AG had copies of Fifty Shades of BB. It’s nice that my phone got a room, too. I guess it needs to relax to continue to be bad at autocorrecting! That last kidnapping wasn’t so bad though…
But I can’t believe the evil kidnapper has used me this time. Kidnapped and then THIS? Was is parlanw? What happened to One Direction? Do we care? Will I be kidnapped again?
Tune in next time!

@Starr Shine?
I just watched it again. I didn’t notice till now that Ron Nasty’s room is upside down.
I also love how “Girl” is playing in Ahhh Girl’s room. And speaking of which, all the “Ahhhs” are spelled with three H’s… And where did you get the piano rendition of “Yesterday “? I like it.
Your prize will be coming soon to a thread near you!

I was planning on posting this after completion, but then I decided to just do the first bit, because @Starr Shine? has waited quite long enough. So here it is, folks: part 1 of AD40’s prize for successfully completing the challenge of correct punctuation for 24 hours.
It’s mostly screenplay-style dialogue, only with narrative instead of stage directions… I think that’s how to explain it. I’m not sure what it is really; it is what it is. Oh, and I hope my interpretations of various users’ posting styles aren’t wildly off the mark. 😀
The Missing Music Mystery (Pt. 1)
Time: Wonsaponatime
Location: The Beatles Bible House: 910 Penny Lane , Strawberry Fields, Pepperland
Dramatis Personae: @Starr Shine? (AD40), @Ahhh Girl (AG), Silly Girl (SG), @Mr. Kite, @AppleScruffJunior (ASJ).
One
Annadog40, Ahhh Girl, and Silly Girl are sitting in the English garden behind the Beatles Bible House. Silly Girl is playing ‘Eight Days A Week ”’on her guitar and humming inaudibly. AppleScruffJunior runs up.
ASJ: Silly Girl, there’s a package for you in the post.
SG: (stops strumming) Okay, I’ll be right there.
Silly Girl, Annadog40, and Ahhh Girl stand and follow AppleScruffJunior to Silly Girl’s room.
There is a large box that says ‘Mountain Apples’ in front of the door. Silly Girl takes the box inside the room.
When she opens the box, a trail of pink smoke escapes it. The strings on all the guitars in the room simultaneously snap as she falls to the floor.
AG, ASJ, AD40: Oh no!
AD40: Oh my gosh Silly Girl are you okay?
ASJ: She’s not okay, she’s unconscious.
AG: Let’s get her on the sofa.
The three carefully manoeuvre Silly Girl onto the sofa in the corner.
ASJ: She’s coming to.
AD40: I wonder what was in that box that would do this?
AG: (walks over to box, cautiously peers inside) It’s empty. (looks at shipping label) And there’s no return address.
A shout comes from down the corridor.
ASJ: What was that?!
AD40: Sounds like it came from next door.
AG: AppleScruffJunior, you stay with Silly Girl. We’ll be right back.
Annadog40 and Ahhh Girl dash down the corridor. Mr. Kite is standing in the door to his room, holding a box and looking distraught. Inside the room, ‘Sgt Pepper ’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ is playing.
AG: What happened here?
Mr. KITE: I have no idea! I just opened the door and all my strings had gone!
AD40: Silly Girl just got a box that did that when she opened it. She got knocked out too. (sees what Mr. Kite is holding) What’s in the box?
Mr. KITE: It says bananas. (opens the box) Huh? There’s noth– (Mr. Kite breaks off.)
‘Sgt Peppers’ stops playing, replaced by a static noise, as Mr. Kite drops the box and begins to lose consciousness. Annadog40 and Ahhh Girl catch him as he slumps over. They sit him on a chair. The static continues as Mr. Kite regains consciousness. From the box, an unnoticed wisp of pink drifts into the air.
AG: (dashes over to turntable, stops record, and inspects record for signs of damage) Hm. I don’t see a thing wrong with it; it just stopped playing.
AD40: Try a CD or an mp3. (Annadog40 pulls out her iPod and tries to play ‘Piggies ’.) Huh, it’s not working!
Ahhh Girl and Mr. Kite also try to play Beatles songs, but none of them work. Then Mr. Kite plays ‘Message In A Bottle’, and succeeds.
AD40: I think it’s just Beatles songs that are affected
AG: (trying ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’) And solo Beatles.
There is a moment of silence as they digest this information.
AG: I think we should inform Joe and the other mods.
AD40: Ya. Mr. Kite are you gonna be okay?
Mr. KITE: (nods)
Ahhh Girl and Annadog40 leave Mr. Kite’s room. Ahhh Girl heads to the mod office, and Annadog40 goes back to her own room.
She finds another seemingly innocuous cardboard box in front of her door, this one marked ‘Fresh Strawberries’, but this one she does not open immediately. Instead, Annadog40 takes it up to the rooftop, which is a well-aired space, and opens the box. This time, the pink vapor is blown away by the wind, and does not affect Annadog40. But unlike the others, this box is not entirely clear of objects.
AD40: (to self) A note!
The note contains three words:
Take that!
parlanc-
And now I will leave you hanging for the entire night while I’m Only Sleeping . *evil laugh* Stay tuned!
Edit: You’re welcome, Annadog40.

^ You cruel Silly Girl! I thought of doing that with my story but I was rushed for time.
This is fantastic! I wonder which parlance twin it is? Will the Beatles songs be restored? I hope so.

Okay, here’s Part 2!
This one basically acts as a bridge between parts 1 and 3. Hence, the ending isn’t nearly as cliff-hanger-ing.
The Missing Music Mystery (Pt. 2)
Time: Wonsaponatime
Location: The Beatles Bible House: 910 Penny Lane , Strawberry Fields, Pepperland
Dramatis Personae: @Annadog40 (AD40), Ahhh Girl (AG), @meanmistermustard (mmm), @Zig, @Joe.
Two
Ahhh Girl, meanmistermustard, and Zig are standing in front of the entrance to Joe’s study. Ahhh Girl knocks on the door.
JOE: Who’s there?
AG: It’s the mods.
JOE: Come in.
They enter.
AG: It seems we have a problem.
ZIG: Silly Girl got a package this morning that claimed to be apples. But when she opened it, it knocked her out, and broke all the strings on her guitars. And yet it appeared to be completely empty.
mmm: Mr. Kite’s guitar strings broke as well. then he got a similar package only this one said ‘bananas’. it knocked Mr. Kite out too didnt it.
AG: Yes, and after that all the Beatles records, CDs, and mp3s wouldn’t play anymore.
JOE: Hmmm… And how are Silly Girl and Mr. Kite doing?
AG: AppleScruffJunior is with Silly Girl, and Mr. Kite was recovering fine when I left.
JOE: And has anyone else complained of broken guitar strings and records that won’t play?
mmm: Yes. it seems theres an epidemic.
JOE: (addressing meanmistermustard) You and Zig intercept any packages that arrive– we can’t risk this happening again. Ahhh Girl, can you visit the Bontee brothers and try to find a cure for– for whatever this is?
AG: Sure.
The mods start toward the door and nearly collide with Annadog40, who is rushing in.
AD40: I got another box and this one had a note in it! Look! (holds note out)
Joe and the mods read the note.
mmm: You found this in a box like the others?
AD40: Ya. I opened it at the rooftop so it wouldn’t knock me out or damage any guitars
ZIG: Good thinking, Annadog.
JOE: The note has parlance’s sign-off.
AG: Surely parlance wouldn’t be behind all this?
JOE: That’s what I wanted AD40 to find out.
AD40: what?!
JOE: Yes. You’ve written enough fanfic mysteries about the house that I think you can handle this one. I’ll help.
AD40: Okay sure.
mmm: Lets get going then!
They exit.
More exciting developments soon!

Now arriving!
The plot thickens.
The Missing Music Mystery (Pt. 3)
Dramatis Personae: @Starr Shine? (AD40), @Ahhh Girl (AG), Silly Girl (SG), @Mr. Kite, @AppleScruffJunior (ASJ), @Joe, von partee (VP).
Three
Zig and meanmistermustard go to the house’s main entrance, while Ahhh Girl heads to the Bontee brothers’ laboratory.
AD40: We should go to parlance’s room and see what is going on.
JOE: Good idea.
They pass Silly Girl’s door.
JOE: Hang on a mo. (knocks) Hello?
ASJ: (opening the door) Oh hi, I was just about to go. Silly Girl is better now but she seems to have lost her voice.
SG: (makes a silent-scream face and mimes pulling out her hair)
AD40: Poor silly girl. Hey, Joe and I are looking for clues about the boxes. do you wanna help?
ASJ: Sure!
SG: (nods eagerly)
ASJ: I found some sort of pink dust (points to where the box was opened). I think it came from the box.
AD40: Lets get some for the Bontee brothers, they might need it for their potion.
ASJ: Right.
SG: (writes on sketch-pad) Did Mr. Kite lose his voice too?
AD40: Come to think of it I don’t think he said anything after opening the box.
JOE: We can stop by Mr. Kite’s on the way to parlance’s room.
ASJ: Why parlance’s room?
AD40: I got a box too– I opened it on the rooftop so it wouldn’t affect me– and it had this inside it. (holds up note)
ASJ: Oh.
Joe, Annadog40, AppleScruffJunior, and Silly Girl stop by Mr. Kite’s room. Mr. Kite appears to have fully recovered, and is now attempting to re-string his guitars.
Mr. KITE: (writes on clipboard) I can’t talk! Something happened to my voice.
SG: (writes) Same here.
AppleScruffJunior, Annadog40, and Joe glance at each other.
SG: (writes) All of us whose strings have snapped can have a re-stringing party in the dining room.
Mr. KITE: (writes) Good idea. I’ll send a message to all the guitar players… (begins making a list on his clipboard)
JOE: Is there any powder here?
AD40: Ya. AppleScruffJunior can you take it to the Bontees? (scoops powder up and puts it in a small jar)
ASJ: Sure. (AppleScruffJunior takes the jar and walks out)
Annadog40 and Joe go to parlance’s room.
JOE: (knocks) Hm, no reply. I suppose I’ll have to open it myself. (takes out Admin key-ring and opens door)
They enter the room, which appears to be deserted.
AD40: I guess parlance isn’t here. (looks round) Hey, who’s that in the bed?
JOE: It looks like parlance.
AD40: but she’s wearing an applemask. I think it’s one of her twins.
JOE: Which one?
The person in the bed stirs and looks sleepily at Joe and Annadog40.
VP: (rubbing sleep out of her eyes) I’m von partee.
Cliffhanger (sort of)!
