h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Assuming that we are still headed to the sandbar, despite SG steering us around the corner.


*The boat hits the ramp and flys into the air (just like 007!). This not only has the effect of taking the boat over the sandbar and into clear water, but it also launches the tangled mass of sea, RD and BBW out of the boat. They land on the shore, at the feet of the sphynx.

BBW gets up off of sea and feels an odd sense of deja vu. He shrugs, which neatly disentangles himself. Before sea can recover, he rewraps her with the rope, then helps her to her feet. RD also stands, although it is not clear whether that is because he is still attached to sea or not. BBW herds them quickly between the legs of the sphynx, where there is a doorway. He pushes open the door, enters and pulls the others in. He closes the stone door and leans against it, in the dark, panting.*

whoops. sorry, SG! Note to self: start taking notes on backlog!

*starts asking obligatory hostage questions*

who are you? what's going on? why have i been kidnapped? where are you taking me? what are you going to do to me? when's lunch? how's your wife?

The force of the impact knocks SM and UH sprawling onto the floor*

Oof!

*shakes head*

SG! Can you get us back there, please?

*the sounds of a hellichopter is comming from behind*

There's no chance to escape, please slow your vessals to a halt! I repeat all vessals manned by Dogs, especially ones holding hostages, SLOW DOWN TO A HALT RIGHT NOW!

Yes sea, please please please remember to take notes on the back log... I mean sheesh, they wouldn't have you in the sphynx now if you had Oh well, we'll get you back, then we've got to hunt down Arl.

*Saturn Girl uses much lady like language as for some reason the boat continued on it's straight trajectory instead of turning like she'd done to the wheel.*

Let me see what's wrong with this bucket of bolts the Mutts left us with... Can you drag UH up here so you can give me a hand (I know the other is currently occupied being cuffed to UH).

*Saturn Girl gets down on her knees, and looks under the controls of the boat to find some stupid bloke had something rigged up to cut the stearing control wires when the auto pilot had been set. Grumbles about stupid mutts, and sets to jurry rigging something with a bobbie pin, and some bubble gum*

Clipboard isn't in this thread (yet) it's only the CR Atmos, who would be happy to acctept your were it not for it's lack a mouth to drink it with. Also, the flameing entrance is overrated, if you consider how painful it is.

[The impact also throws the CR Atmos off of the boat. It lands a few feet from Sea, BBW, and Red Dog. It gets up, watches as BBW herds everyone into the sphinx, tries to follow, but gets shut out. It shouts "Hey, wait up!" , and a shadow appears next to it. It walks in and sinks down. Inside the sphinx, a shadow appears next to BBW, and the CR Atmos rises out of it. It says "No fair trying to ditch me!"]

And hey! I did a flaming entrance too! I rode the jetski through the flames to chase the boat down No one notices a goddess when she does stuff like that, huh?

The main difference was that you didn't set yourself on fire in an idiotic manner.

sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...

*hearing no answers to her questions, sea continues*

how are the kids? what about the dog? still having trouble with the mother-in-law? have you gotten over that itchy, pus-y rash yet?

Sea, we're not gonna hav'ta rescue you... if they don't find a gag for you soon, they'll throw you back at us just to get rid of your nagging questions Keep it up! And for the life of you, don't let 'em gag you!

slips in ear plugs. edges away from bbw and rd. doesn't like rashes. contrubutes absolutely nothing worthwhile to the thread.

*meanwhile inside the Sphinx*

Its dark in here ....... I don`t like it .

And something smells odd ?

Whats that writhing, rubbing sound ....... and the hissing, whats that ?

*Busterbone appears from out of the shadows*

Sorry. That hissing noise was me.

I had chilli last night.

Sorry.

Whoa, somebody open up a window!!!

*sea hears the noise too. her questions stop. she listens. the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. she grabs onto red dog's arm quite tightly, and the questions begin again*

what is that? oh, please tell me what that is!...

*drags UH up with her to the front of the boat*

Erm...

*starts checking over controls*

What does that do?

*presses red button*

*boat suddenly flies into reverse*

*SM finds herself hanging out of the boat, with only the handcuff attaching her to UH keeping her from flying off somewhere*

AAAAAAaaaaahh...

*Saturn Girl was in the process of standing up from having fixed the stearing wheel. She knocks her head on said wheel, and is spralled back against the deck, and stays there holding her head for a few minutes*

SG, please forgive me for taking liberties. if you don't want me to, then ignore this post, but let the rest of us know what you decide.

*outside the sphinx*

*saturn girl puts her hand down onto a small watch. upon inspecting it, she sees that it is actually a tracking device that sea cleverly left there for her to find*

*SM screams helplessly as the boat collides with the sandbar*

*SM and UH are thrown from the boat, flying through the air and landing on the head of the sphynx*

*SM looks down*

How do we get down?

[CR Atmos (inside the sphinx)]:

[Gets out a pine tree air freshener and hands it to Busterbone]
You need this more than I do. I only smell like oil.
