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

Love and Brownies to you, Luna Queen of Hearts. And also to you, Zeddie.

*Smiles shyly at Zed, who is pretending not to notice. Goes into the church kitchen and comes out with a tray of refreshments.*

Anyone care for something to wash the Brownies down with? Coffee? Tea? Sherry? If you'd like something stronger, it's back in the kitchen.

*Stands up straight and dignified from where he was sitting (third pew from the back) in deep contemplation of all things Brownie...*

I feel that my talents are going to waste. I am the churches official shoe polisher, and though i take great pride in my work...I am a Crusader at heart...

O' Marv...Is there a possibility that you might sanction a Crusade so that I might live up to my potential?

Shoe-Polisher, Crusader, Defender of the Brownie
Bear

oh you can trust that he notices Mari-rae he is just not used to such attention so does not know how to react when faced with it
here, hands her a special brownie wrapped in a pretty purple bow and sparkly paper...give this to him and see if it helps
as for you BB, it seems you already have a crusade going down the hall in another room of the Church...do the words treasure and map ring any bells for you?
monsy

Thank you, Monsy. May the Great Brownie look upon you with kindness.

*Carefully sets down the tray of refreshments and approaches Zed. Holds out little packaged brownie; the sparkly paper is sparkling, the purple ribbon is set into a perfect bow.*

Zed, this is for you. Monsy made it and I'd like to give it to you for a present.

(blushing furiously)

*carefully taketh the wrapped brownie from Mari-Rae and putth it to one thide*

Tthank you for that, very kind of you. I may well enjoy it later, onethe I have had a quiet word with Monthy about leading innothent churchgoerth athtray. And athked her, politely, what thhe hath put into thith brownie.

*Advantheth on Monthy, who hopeth the Grate Brownie hath got thome very >quick< kindnethth*

Zed

*begins batting her eyelashes innoccently and tries to put on her best "i'm not up to anything" look*
hello there Zed...and how are you today?
monsy

I can't stand to sneak around anymore....I seek only to make this personal quest of mine official....

*takes popcorn out of microwave and opens Sour Punch kids, looking for the best seat for what seems to have mutated into a mix between various Shakespeare plays and... uhh... something else that would be fairly entertaining*

*Looks dubiously at Monsy, at the wrapped brownie, at Zed, down at her shoes (wondering if Baron B-T Slide(now with wings) seriously wants to polish them?), and at Fenchurch (wondering why she is eating popcorn in church?). The overload of confused ideas and mixed emotions are too much. Mari-rae slumps down into a pew and downs a quick slug of the sherry. Then she downs another.*

Oh my...! *reaches in to toolbelt and removes chisel and hammer*...

*inspects Mari-rae's shoes carefully...procedes to chip away the crusted something hindering her ability to be actively mobile.*

Darlin'...youv'e got to watch where you walk...It can be dangerous out there.....

*NM pulls out his spare brownie(kept for emergencies) moves up to Fennys' pew.*

Mind if I sit over here with you?.....I think it's a touch safer than out there! I'm easily confused and...well...eerrrmm...this has about done it for me!

NM

Thank you Baron. Sherry? Brownie?

I would suggest we all adjourn to *peers around* .. erm.. -somewhere-... Anyone have any ideas?

'Nonnie

*looks up*

Well, I am actually a Missionary (forth). We could all pile on the JCB and go forth together to spread the good word about the Grate Brownie? My feet feel lighter, and so does my spirit! Let us go forth!!

And fifth!

eerrrmm....Fenny, I'm a bit worried. I seem to be the only one here qualified to operate "heavy machinery". Do you suppose I should volunteer to drive the JCB?

On second thought....I think I'll just stay here, where it's safe!

NM

Well, there does seem to be a gathering at http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=25058&thread=39649
