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

*A sign appears near the IIEM* "For the season of Halloween only, the Caf� will be opening its spare room, and has obtained a liquor license. This license comes into effect at midnight tonight, and expires on All Souls Day (Nov 2). Your normal barista, Irv, has fallen ill. Your bar tender for the festivities will be... The Masque! Always Drink Responsibly! Thanks, The Mngmt" http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F26140?thread=4715391&post=54816808#p54816808

*Checks calendar, locks up doors on the back room so that no one gets into the booze, as he was only permitted to serve liqour until Nov.2*

Hmmm... seems like there's something I've forgotten. Can't think what.

[Mog] Are there people still inside there?

Well, you were in there, weren't you? And you're out here. So I don't think we have to worry about that.

[Mog] I suppose ...

[Vague clicking sounds are heard in the lock]

*Starts serving coffee*

*if one listens carefully, it might just sound as if someone was pounding the door from the other side but, since the sound is very muffled, it might not actually be noticed by anyone*

Oh, by the way. I got a new sound system installed. Anyone got an iMix or something they want to try out?

*flips switch and the latest Blues Traveler album (Cover Yourself) begins playing*

[Mog] I've got a hankering for "What Is Love"!


The musical tastes of Mog the Moogle are not necessarily those of the person typing this, and no inferences of Dylan Cobb's desire to listen to music should be drawn from those of fictional characters in roleplay threads.

Hmmm... I've got "What is Hip." Who did "What is Love?"

[Mog] Er, Haddaway.

*Wiki's Haddaway*

Oh, *that* song. Um... yeah. I don't currently have that on my iPod. If you want to upload it to the house computer...

[Mog] Ah well, the hankering went away now anyway.

[Sign]:
The iMix you are currently listening to includes the following artists:
Blues Traveler
Beatles
Rolling Stones
Wallflowers
Bob Dylan
Billy Joel
Todd Snider
Bob Snyder
Alro Guthrie
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
and Aqua.

[Irv]: Aqua? IIEM, did you add that?

[Mog] Beatles? Ooh, put on "Love Me Do"!

*Harmonica kicks in, Beatles begin to sing*

Ah, good pick.

[Mog sort of dances along to the music in his seat.]

*Cream's "I'm so Glad" kicks into the sound system*

For anyone who wants just coffee, and not adventure, please do remember that the Café is open. Just saying....

(Redfox *POOFS* in with a cloud of smoke and a little coughing. He whips very large handguns out of his jacket and aims them at the worker at the counter)

Hands on your head, down on the floor. Not kidding. DOWN ON THE FLOOR! This is a stick-up!

Empty the register (which you fools never emptied, ever,) into this bag, NOW!

*Irv, perplexed, puts hands in the air, then gets onto the floor. Holding his hands in the air while on the floor makes him look very silly*

Say, you don't happen to be cursed, do you? Only, I notice about half of you appears to be, um... missing?

Also? Not sure how to fill that bag from down here. But the register's up on the counter, you can help yourself.
