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

I reckon she's more likely to hurt Gord than Zomnker.

*Body spasms briefly as his glow goes briefly through every hue of the rainbow*

Ooooh that felt good! Do that again!

*fills the kettle with cold water from the lake, ready to douse Zomnker if necessary*

*Watches IAN with a proud look on his face. Starts to walk over to her to congratulate her, then stops suddenly, as if realizing something. The proud look on his face disolves into one of misery. Turns to Titania.*

You shouldn't be suspicious, Titania. *raises voice and glances at IAN*. The things we do in our past aren't relevant after we have changed in certain ways.

*gives Gord an enigmatic sidelong glance*

*adjusts her grip and presses two different buttons*

You mustn't become addicted to magic. This will complete the cleansing and your amulets and tools will work the way they ought. *looks over at Amos* And you and I will have a training session.

*aims another burst at GDZ, this time of pure white light*

*thinks*

There are definitely Issues between those two.

*rolls eyes at Caerwynn. Looks at IAN as he speaks.*

Yes, Titania, our past is behind us. There are things in our past that we would never do again, now that we have reached our present state of mind. The past truely is a foreign country.

*Glows white briefly and then returns to normal*

OK, can someone please try and explain what happened to me?

Imagine magic as liquids. You tried to mix water with acid, not acid with water.

*Lays a black jack on a red queen, turns over a card and moves the ace of spades to the top*

OK then, shall we continue on? No idea what to do with RD.

Just to let everyone know, Red Dog will be back in the next few days. His elder brother was killed in a car crash, and he has been with his brother's family and with his own. He is just getting sorted out at home again and is looking forward to some levity here.


*GL lifts his head above the side of the hammock he has been swinging in, fashioned from a rather large roll of twine that he got from sea's pocket. The hammock is slung from the rafters of the hut he has built from driftwood. Hawaiian music plays softly from the boombox he has acquired from sea's pocket.*

We're leaving?

*straps on her pack and straightens her stetson hat**

*Moves the King of Spades to the top, ending his Solotaire game. Packs everything, stands, and turns in the direction that everyone will be going, he assumes*

*swings his legs over the side of the hammock*


...grumble...and I was just getting comfortable...


*slips his feet back into his clown shoes*


...groan...after all the work I went to making this place nice...


*downs the last of his pina colada*


...grouch...the minute I put my feet up...


*heaves the fridge back into sea's pocket.*

omg, GL that is terrible, if you are in contact with him again, please let him know that I am thinking of him

*tidies away the things*

Same here. I'm sure that could be said for all of us.


Now then, on to Admin Level 2....and whatever awaits us there, I suppose.

Me, too. And of course, he will know that when he reads the backlog.


*Puts away the lava lamp gun she has been examining and laces up her boots.*

Likewise

Let's get on it then!

*Ivana raises the staff and flicks off the remaining ectoplasma, which not-so-accidentally falls on Gord*

OK. Amos and I will walk together a little apart so that I can explain a few things to him. People need to understand the consequences of things ~before~ they get, er, involved.

Ugh! *shakes off the ectoplasm*

Yes, consequences. People have to be aware of all of the consequences of their actions. Even, it seems, IF THE BLOODY ACTIONS HAPPENED YEARS AGO AND EVEN IF THEY WERE DONE COMPLETELY INNOCENTLY AND EVEN IF THE CONSEQUENCES ARE TOTALLY IRRATIONAL. ARRRGGGGHHHH!
