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

[Sharp]: *Stops in the middle of what he had been doing* "Brain in a jar? I suppose that... can you have it think things for you?"

*continues tidying and straightens an uneven frame to a picture on the wall*

"Anole and I had been experimenting. I don't remember what it was on... maybe about finding a way to contain an explosion in a bag... for later one time only use... but I don't remember. In any event, one of those things made a huge mess. Have you been on a hot-air balloon ride before Gandark? Maybe somebody could talk King Michael into funding to make one. I don't know. Seeing a place from higher up might show some different things from the ground, or I may have heard a few things at the inn."

*Bottles are lined up again. Baskets are labeled. Boxes still remain untidy though*

[Gandark] yeah it would think things for you and stuff. some of them were kinda evil though and made you think things for them instead.

[Gandark] (about the balloon thing) yeah balloons are ok i guess but airships are more practical.

[Sharp]: "Oh, I see. When I was but an apprentice people in the city near where I lived used to scare us with stories about a witch who had a kind of similar mystical device; Eyes to help her see. Not her own of course,- and I think that was the scary part."

"You're in luck today my friend, I found an unusual antique at the market awhile back, lost it and then found it again."

*Slides a box on the floor and behind the counter around toward you.*

"They say it's a medicinal teapot and that it makes healing tea. I understand it to be weaker than a health potion but the convenience of being able to make brews like that without needing special herbs..."

*Fetches a toy balloon*

"I don't know why it works either. Maybe it's the kettle itself?"
*Shrugs*
