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

I don't know. I keep getting this weird feeling. Like I'm being told to look inside the cupboards. Anything in any of them besides donut ingredients?

*Notices a dusty looking cupboard that has a padlock on it. Pulls out the PDCC, sets it to "view", and aims it at the door*

Sorry, I just have to get rid of this nagging feeling.

*Turns on the PDCC, and watches a screen*

Okay, flour, eggs, liquid hydrogen . . . a weird metal thing, a few dusty plates, an expired soda can . . . can't see much.

*Turns off the PDCC*

I guess it's nothing. Can I have a chocolate DNA please?

Takes a DN that is forever and heads back to film set. http://www.h2g2.com/F38496?thread=63752

*Scratching sound is heard from behind the counter*

Errrm, guys... what is there

*Makes sure that his OmeGAuntlet is securely fastened*

Whatever it is, it's not getting the jump on me, that's for sure!

*Sets all weapons on the gauntlet on high*

I recommend eating as many doughnuts as possible before this gets messy and we all have to run and hide.

*fills pockets with variety of doughnuts and runs to the table in the corner furthest from the counter*

*sits down and proceeds to eat...quickly*

Well, I don't want to miss the fun...

*Scans it with his gauntlet*

This is different than what I felt before, but it's nothing to ignore. I believe there may be a monster hiding behind Joanna's counter. Possibly looking for what I was sensing.

*Room suddenly feels very cold*

If that is a metallic hydrogen leak then perhaps we should run, very fast.

If this is another one of those alien pod things, like the one at Greebo's party, then I'm off....

*Lights flicker*

Who is going to have a look?

*DD tentatively removes hands from eyes*

Not me!!!

*replaces hands*

*comes back in, looking ~dark~*

~what~ is going on ~here~??

*Gibbers*

There is something behind the counter, scratching and it feels like it is doing something to the mH tanks

*DD stays firmly behind his hands safe in the knowledge that Joanna is a scientist and not him*

(yeah Joe I know I'm still here suffering from NRS)

*DD's not here and neither is Joanna*

Wonder if it's safe to get a DN?

*Hands over a donut, from the far end of the counter*


(although neither DD or Joanna were here, so if anyone asks you, you ain't seen us, right?)

(Right.)

Okay, I'll do it. I handle monsters at Crater Labs, Inc. every other day, anyway. I don't see what it can do as long as I'm wearing my OmeGAuntlet.

*Cautiously approaches the counter, then jumps over it, aiming his gauntlet. A blue beam of light shoots at something, and Affy lands on his feet. He comes from behind the counter*

Okay, I think I took care of it. The snowzar that's built in to the OmeGAuntlet was set for three days, so the monster won't be unfrozen until we've had plenty of time to analyze it.

*Makes a hand motion, and Ampton walks in. With Ampton's help, Affy manages to carry the monster outside, stays away for about half an hour, then comes back*

Okay, it's in a holding cell at CLI. I'll analyze it, and see what it was. It looked like a kind of gelatinous monster, or something. I'm guessing that it's just leftovers from a radioactive jam filled donut, or something.

*from behind DD's hands*

Alright I'm here now. Has anyone sorted out what's behind the counter yet?

Is... is it okay now? th..there's not likely to be others, is there??

*looks worried, still*

*DD slowly removes one hand from eyes*

I hope not.

Well, I hope not. The odds that you've got several blobs of radioactive donut jam lurking around the stall are just astronomical.

*A blue blob squishes out from behind a trash can, and rises to an ominous height*

Of course, the universe is such a small place.

*Tosses something resembling the guns from Ghostbusters to everyone*

Don't cross the beams, okay? The astronomically small universe might blow up.

*Begins firing plasam blasts at the goo monster*
