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

Directly above the Main Hall is an outdoor area, with a few archways leading back inside. There's a few ornate statues, but the most interesting feature is a large stone pagoda at one end.

*scrambles through the attic skylight*

Coming, Justin?

*heads towards the interesting pagoda*

*David B's communicator/transponder/cellular phone rings with an incoming call*

[And then, amusingly enough, a wall that was weakened by the passage of Khan's tank through the mansion now falls over, leading almost directly to F1709137?thread=360527]

Hmmm.... (not knowing about the tank)
Fine... I'll have a look...

*David B responds to the cellular phone/transponder/communicator device AND follows Justin*

*Corrupt staggers outside, coughing and choking, and is followed by an explanatory cloud of tear gas. She sobs a bit, then turns around and throws a fireball back inside, then goes over on a bench to get some fresh air and recuperate.*

*the gas escaping outside turns a much darker color, and Khan soon emerges, covering her face and coughing*

[Khan] *cough, cough* That... wasn't funny.

*Corrupt ducks into the smoke and heads back inside, hoping that Khan didn't notice her...*

*Corrupt suddenly dashes back outside, and sets a bush on fire near the door as she tries to find somewhere to hide*

*Khan runs out and is momentarily blinded by the image of the burning bush. She swipes off the goggles*

[Khan] This isn't funny! Let's see YOU procure a Chinese tank! The exit's right back that way; I'm'a sit right here 'till you come back with an apology and $15 million!

*Khan plants herself at the hole in the wall*

*Corrupt grabs the nearest tree branch and hoists herself up onto the roof. Conveniently, a skylight on the roof is open. She sets the tree on fire, just to annoy Khan, and drops in.*

Where are you dropping in /to/?

The attic, of course. Hush now; those sorts of comments throw me off my stride.

*Khan gets a weird feeling, like the winds were carrying her name. She quietly curses her heritage, and suppresses and urge to don fur and conquer China*

[Kirk] KHAAAAAAAAAAN!
