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

April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain...

The advantage of April is that it's so far away.

[Mog] I heartily second that!

[The front door opens, revealing Dylan and the Keymaker in the back corridors from The Matrix Reloaded, but the forest is still visible out the windows. The Keymaker closes the door.]

[Keymaker] There. I /told/ you I should be leading, didn't I?

[Dylan] IIEM, gimme a strawberry milkshake, and 99 each X-Potions, Megalixers, Elixers, and Turbo-Ethers.

[IIEM] ... What!?

[Dylan] Well, they aren't alcoholic, are they?

*observes the procession*

[IIEM] Look, this is gonna take a while, so you're likely to need a second IIEM if all the other customers are going to get anything.

[Dylan] Well ... damn. Just work as fast as you can, all right?

[IIEM] ... Fine.

*sighs, trying to stay patient while the IIEM tries to execute the latest order*

[Keymaker] We'd better hurry ... Whoops, too late, that quest is over.

[Dylan] Uh, darn. Hang on, I'll just speed up time ...

[He suddenly gets buried by the orders, which promptly vanish in his Inventory.]

[Dylan] Okay, Keymaker, let's go.

[Keymaker] Fine. I hope I get paid for this ...

[He puts a key in the doors lock, and opens it, revealing the Matrix corridor. He and Dylan go through it and close the door.]

*Merely washes up and puts v/_\3 on*

<BB<

[Random Moogle] ... Kupo?

*finds v/_\3 and has a nice little *

TITANIA
What's your weather?
In the UK it is ~~~~ ugh!

Ah - nice to see you in the café again BB - finally a decent (no offense, IIEM) cup of !

Oetzi - the weather in Stockholm, Sweden is mild (just above freezing point) and grey (I'll soon forget what the sun looks like if that blanket covering the sky doesn't go away soon) and rainy, on and off...

*sips with pleasure*

Yes today was good here, broken sunshine.
Tonight will freeze on the higher gound in the N Pennines UK.
The wind is the worst. NE terlies from you are searing but rare.
The westerlies are gusty and strong snough to blow you over at times.
Altitude is the factor in the UK.
West is wet and east is dry...generally.

[Mog] Over here, in Vermont, we had snow last night, but it seems to have gone.

Once upon a time one weather forecast lady here got a lifetime ban as she dared to say in the forecast that nothing good ever comes from east. Well, all the rest of ussr was in east from us.
Right now (and forever, as it seems) we are "enjoying" the same kind of weather as Ti. Very gloomy.

Which means I turn up to work covered in mud as I cycle and don't have a rear mud-guard, which often leaves embarrasingly brown patches up the back of my trousers...

<BB<

So - eh - why don't you get yourself a rear mud-guard?

*optimistically holds out her empty c(_)*

*Hands over a fresh *
My bike seems to have been designed to prevent any form of mudguard known to man to fit on it, but then it is quite old...
