Robin's Dorm Room, New York City
May. 16th, 2013 07:03 pmFinals were done. And Robin would soon be heading home to Florida. Though, the plan was only to be there for a while. Anastasia had invited him to come visit her in Nova Scotia. As he'd never been there, the idea was doubly exciting.
But as he packed his things, he couldn't help but be depressed. Not because of the end of the school year, or any nostalgia about other end of school years, but because today was the day.
Jim Henson had passed away on May 16th of last year. Though Robin had only met him once, he knew the man had been his Uncle's best friend and creative partner. Robin owed the man his performance experience every bit as he owed Kermit. And once he had had his attention brought to him, Robin realized that he had seen Jim many times, and noted how happy the human had been.
Having once lost a friend as well, Robin knew how devastating it could be. So, while the death itself was sad enough, Robin was mostly unhappy for his uncle's sake.
Speaking of which...
Robin had a cell phone that was at least a decade ahead of it's time. Don't ask him how it worked without all the satellites and what-not, but it did. Part of the magic of Fandom he supposed. In any case, when it began to play "Rainbow Connection", Robin knew it was Kermit calling. Doing his best to sound cheerful, Robin answered. By the time the conversation was over, Robin's cheerfulness was not feigned.
[Open for calls and the like, but he'll be contacting people on his own shortly.]
