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

*this time the tunnel slopes steeply upwards and occasionally Menza has to use his hands as well as his feet to scramble up the steep slope - fortunately his torch is a hands-free head torch*

I was wondering what that strap was for.

#they eventually get into a hoopy smelling beer cellar... but this one has some odd dark robes hanging off a peg on the wall#

*doesn't really like to ask what they are for*

*kitty looks at the robes and at menza, and indicates with his paw which ones should fit menza nicely*

*puts on robe, then starts to feel silly*

*Kitty think Menza is silly for feeling silly, and slowly pads up a set of cellar steps Menza hasn't seen before...*

*walks up steps, and wonders what we are getting into now*

#when they emerge, they appear to be in a network of stone buildings... they are in a row of cloisters, with arched doorways leading off them every 10 steps. Figures in robes similar to the ones Menza is wearing are slowly walking to and fro, their heads cowled and bowed... they don't seem to notice Kitty, some walking straight through him, though they step aside for Menza, saying "pacem frater"... Menza suddenly realises that the cellars they came out of *weren't* cellarer's cellars... there was no alcohol in them at all!...#

Umm, Kitty, how do you do that walking through people thing. And would you please not try to do it to me.

*looks hopeful*

*Kitty rubs against Menza, so that Menza can feel that Kitty is as solid as the hard stone walls...

he then pads through the cloisters waiting for Menza to choose a doorway to enter*

*points at small, overgrown door*

Whats through there.

#opening the door, Menza finds that he is in a small ante-room to a larger library. There are a number of scribes sitting writing with quill pens, who look up at his entrance.#

A room full of ghostly scribes, what are we doing here?

#Menza looks around the room, to see a large number of manuscripts. One appears to be a set of plans....#

*starts leafing through the pile of papers*

Cool, so this is where they got the script for Eastenders.
