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

Does anyone have a torch...I don't think Zed ever got around to putting electricity in ths par of the mansion.

Dammit, BBS. I just opened a new thread as well! LOL
Here, have a candle.
*Hands the bear a very black, very dribbly candle with strange runes inscribed on its surface. The flame burns with an impossible colour.*

I think the mushrooms are kicking in again

*steps into the bookcase - or out of it*

*Follows closely behind stepping on Doctor John's heels.*

S-sorry. This is getting spooky.

*The passage begins to wind downward. The impossible candlelight makes them all look ghastly.*

*JTWL pads silently up behind the descending party and shouts BOO, in a very loud way (I'm afraid I can't shout quietly).
After laughing at his own wit and invention he decides to follow in a more sedate manner.*
Hmm, downwards we go eh? It might be a bit more tricky to do the naked dancing down here.

Why didn't you give me the candle? Why did you give it to BBS instead??
I can hold a candle, you know. I'll be good and not burn anything - honest! Please can I have the candle, please???

*remains unconvinced as to the wisdom of this request*

*Everyone shouts "NO!!" in unison.*

~giggle!~

*feels sorry for BB and gives him a candle*

Thanks Alien - I knew I had a friend here really.
*BB doesn't burn anything*

yet............

*keeps the water bucket handy*

*While discussing the pros and cons of supplying BB with fire, they are proceeding down a winding flight of stone steps. It is getting danker and darker as they go. The shadows hide scurrying figures that emit squeaks and rustling sounds.*

Anonymouse? Is that you?

Where! Where!

*They spot a big ugly rat.*

Oh! Ugh!!!

Surely a cat goddess can take care of that !!!!

Eat that rat, mari-rae!!!!

Maybe she should smite it first. I haven't seen a good smiting in years. It might taste better then

Or it may taste better cooked!
I can cook it for you, honest! I won't mind! I've got my own candle...
