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

*Curtsys to the Endth, straightens tourquois leotard and tries to smooth the feathers decorating it. They are singed and crushed. Shrugs. Grabs up large margarita and follows Mew and YK down and into the crystal forest* Wow! *The crystal trees resonate with the sound of our voices.* HELLLOOOOO! *The trees hum back* Cool!

I guess i can wear my towel, unless anyone has a better idea

*grabbing bits off the walls of the shuttle to make a rather fetching little number, which glints metallic shades of green and blue in the reflection of the tree crystals*
This place is beautiful Mew, mew..(barnie magrew cuthbert, dibble, grubb?!)...and YK.Do you think that these may be energy crystals?

YK said that the crystals refract energy. Look at those endths soar. *Sips drink*

* picking up a giant mushroom shaped object, sniffing it and taking a large bite*...Mmmmmmmmm, this tastes good. Anyone else want a bite??
shazzPRME

Absolutely, you can't beat magic mushrooms, in my humble opinion

Even the normal ones are pretty good.....

mushrooms arent quite my cup of tea...
any chocolate vodka fishies in this exotic paradise?

Ahhhhh! I seem to have found just what I am looking for!

Those mushrooms are starting to kick in

I think i might just go and lie down amongst the crystals for a couple of days.

Don't leave without me.

*walks off towards the crystals. Strangely, the strains of Primal Screams 'Higher than the sun' can be heard coming from who knows where*

Ahem, that would be me, singing. This Laphroaig is starting to get to me.

Are you sure? I thought it was the local wildlife....

*Gwennie peers around cautiously for wild animals....*

*tidies himself after an excellent breakfast and steps off the shuttle craft*
Freow! This place looks great.
Mushrooms? Nope just had some.
Clothes? Nope. whenever I'm wearing any they just get ripped off in these type of forums anyway.
*scans around* The locals don't seem to be wearing any either.

So what else is new???

What locals? Where?

Yes....do tell where you can see locals ...I seem to be seeing all sorts of strange things at the moment!

*BS having dressed and poured himself a drink appears on the ramp*

Endths, Gwennie, there's one sniffing around inside. They seem pretty friendly though.

How can you tell if you *are* a local? This place keeps moving so fast that it can be difficult to keep up with it!

If you see a green mushy-skinned humanoid with a bean shaped head four arms and eyes on eyestalks like Jar-Jar, then you are seeing a native Zitlurubian. If you see a meter long dragon-like creature, it is an Endth, also native. I got all this valuable information from YK, who seems to have disappeared into the crystal forest. He didn't mention any menacing crystaline entities. In fact, he said that these trees refract energy. Nick, would you be interested in a crystal fig leaf? Because there is a shrub of them growing over here.

Maybe the natives are just called Zits???

*DD downs his Margarita and blinks in the sunshine*

Endths or Zits? Wow what peculiar wild life where is the escape bods Xenobiologist?
