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

*Stephanie and NYC appear, hugging each other. Stephanie takes the shock of the moment and the odd gravity of the Crib Zone to try and throw NYC onto the floor of one of the giant cubes*

*NYC is momentarily caught up in the purpleness of his surroundings, and soon finds himself impacted upon a giant solid purple box. It's a good thing he's so limber, otherwise all this flying about and hitting hard surfaces would hurt.*

*Oh wait, he's not.* Owww.

*NYC sits up and looks up at Stephanie*

So when'd you stop taking jobs at STUMPED?

Stephanie-Minos Krylma has to actually hire me to do work before I can make time in my schedule to meet with STUMPED. But don't worry, I still think about all the fun things we did together! Now, you stay here while I go deal with some important big-kid things!

*So saying a beam of light shoots from the nearest Cube and envelops Stephanie. She cackles in true villainous fashion and vanishes back to the Control Room*

Son of a--!

*NYC lies down on the big purple box*

*It's really quiet in this place*

*For what felt to NYC like hours, but probably lasted four minutes and thirty-three seconds, there was nothing to hear and only one monotone to see. This place is quite calming, in a I'd-blow-something-up-if-it-didn't-mean-there-wouldn't-be-anything-to-stand-on sort of way. NYC has the incredible urge to take a nap, and suddenly remembers the location of his tower - with his original gear, STUMPED card, and weaponry in whatever passes for a hold back in the prison. NYC sighs.*

*But wait! there's still Corrupt's shop! And this time, there's no shopkeeper!*

*blink*

toweL, not toweR*

*blink*

*NYC pops back, about 14 feet from the cube, with what looks like a very long, metal wall with electronics on it. In fact, you'd probably see similar walls floating about only if you went and did something silly like blow up a space station. They both start falling towards the purple box. NYC crawls about it, flipping switches and turning dials, and as they get closer to the purple box the wall starts glowing brighter. With a *FLASH*, both NYC and the wall disappear from existence from the sea of purple*

I'd make a post reminding everyone about the anti-teleportation restrictions on these cribs, but I'm just too lazy to enforce continuity today. Ergo, this Crib in particular was deffective at the factory or something.
