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

*Holds lantern (now lit) closer to the door*

I can officially say that its dark in there.

[The faint light from the lantern spills into a dusty and rarely used passageway... the passage is just wide enough to walk along, but not comfortably so. Little shafts of light stream down from odd pairs of holes in the way, only sufficient to highlight the darkness.]

I hate dust, Oh well.

*starts walking along the passageway*

[the dust, though thick, does not lift as they walk, but stays settled and thick on the floor. Their footprints sink deeply]

I hope there are no spiders, I'm not fond of them you know.

[all the spiders immediately creep out of sight, not wanting to worry our heroes]

That was clever.

*strides down the passageway leaving bid boot prints in the dust*

*kitty stops in front of Menza, blocking the passageway*

MRR!!! [haven't you forgotten something?]

*kitty waits expectantly for Menza to bring Cakewalker along*

Sorry about that old man, forgot you were bipedally challanged.

*picks up CW and carried him sedatly making sure he can see where they are going*

*kitty is slightly mollified*

Well at least I didn't roll him up and suff him under my arm.

My God yes that was a highly disagreeable experience when it was done to me. How did you know about that, Mr Menza?

Erm, lucky guess!

*Kitty thinks that Cakewalker could pass the time walking down the corridor with the tale of how his portrait was stolen - and retreived*

*wonders why Kitty is staring at CW*

*kitty thinks Menza really needs to improve his "Feline"*

When my cat looks at me like that, it usually means that I'm about to loose a limb.

i don't mean to interrupt and i'm sure this is a really stupid suggestion...did the wine barrel contain 18 pints originally?

I have no idea.
