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

Just one more minute...I would still like to have a closer look at that troll over there.
*whispers to Sir Santa*Somehow I have got the feeling that she wants to get us out of here...

Are you really going to stay down here? But it's dangerous - snow was melting and all the things happening around...

*whispers to the maiden*
Yep...

*to the old lady*
Look, you old bag... The snow-melting-situation has been taken care of, and frankly, I don't see much going on around here... So why is it that you want us out of here? Coz, y'know, we were headed further down the hall here...

*is almost sure that this troll just *
*whispers* Did you see that? There is something wrong here...

You can certainly go down the hall if you like, let's go now. Hurry, hurry!

Or maybe we'll just stand here a while...
Anyhoo, we're not going that way! That's where we came from!
*if anyone were paying attention, they would see one of the hobbit-statues trying to move one of their hairy feet*

*Jason Newstedt I hope I got the name right runs to the hobbit and gives a loud bark*

What's the matter? *walking over to the dog and the statue*

* is troubled and upset, she mutters something to herself*

Did you say anything...erm...Jane?

just cut that last "t", and you'll be fine It's "Newsted"

* feels that she can't hold the spell anymore and lets it go; a loud noise fills the room, all the creatures start to run and escape, nobody is heard in the screams and shouting, Dog is gone, the fair maiden and the knight are separated, greifs and demons are flying and the candles are fading - total turmoil*

*spots the unicorn in one of the corners and decides that it's propably the safest thing to hide in that corner, too and wait for things to calm down a bit*

*has been cramming self against the wall, so as not to get in the way for all the turmoil. Now that it seems to have settled (for now, anyway), dares to breathe normally again*
!!
Smith! You alright?

*looks up from behind the unicorn* Sir Santa? *spots him in the far corner of the hall* I am fine. What about you? And where did that witch erm old lady go to? Btw. do you think she might be a witch???

[Unicorn]:

*watches knight guardedly, prepared to flee at any moment*

I'm fine, thanks! I was getting worried 'bout you, couldn't see you anywhere! And yes, I think that old lady was definetely a ... That's probably why she wanted us to get out of here, so we wouldn't find the princess...

So what next?
And where's Jason?

Dunno...
*looks around*
JAASOOON...
*the dog comes out from behind a pile statuebases*
[Jason]:
VOFF!!
[Sir Santa]:
*scratches Jason behind the ear, strokes his back*
Yeah, good dog...

What next, you say?
Hmm... Maybe we should continue down the hall, as we intended from the beginning?

[Unicorn]:

*trots ahead towards door at the end of the hall, carefully avoiding other creatures*

*relieved to see that Jason is alright - sigh*

Alright, come on then.
*starts walking down the hall, but keeps looking around in case the might still turn up somewhere*
