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

[Ecg Unagi]: "Er... Miss Elwyn, what seems to be the matter?"
~You're her familiar, why are you being mean? You and Eal would probably get along right finely.~
*does a }Sigh{*

<Reminds me of Peter Pan going on about Pixie dust: Look you two... what's the matter w/you? <- that sorta thing >
[Ecg]: "..."
*Looks at the salamander, as though trying to ask it why*

[Ecg]: "Your familiar, it seems awfully more quiet and reflective about things than does my eel."
*Gives Elwyn some some of the other pieces of fish.*

"A puzzlement perhaps, that it is."

*Ezekiel impatiently rubs his face and looks round at everyone*

How about a trick? An illusion? I am an illusionist I can do that! You can have all these other things and I can try and hide them so you can sneak up, or disguise you as orcs or something else or anything ask me and I can try, if I dont try I'll never know my limits and never get any better after all. I'm a shapeshifter, I can change into something else completely myself for a short period of time. I'm here, make use of me! Working together is often found to be productive *he grumbles and rubs his temples*

*Elektra runs up*

Am I late?

*turns to Elektra* no, we're half planning

Ok. I don't know any fire spells, I spent all my time learning how to enchant my cloak to transform the wearer into a bird. I do know a small earthquake causing spell and I'm a good archer if it's any help

*frowns and sits down by the gate*

[thoughts to himself]~~I wonder wether I can project my power? I never even tried. I assumed it was all my in my blood.... but... well, would that even be usefull? We'll see~~

Well, archery is always useful. And I'm sure causing a small earthquake could help

Alright. That's good to know

*Elektra sits on the ground and checks the string on her bow*

Just let me know when everythings decided

The decision is not mine to make, I can only offer ideas *Ezekiel turns to Elektra again and looks at her thoughtfully* elementalism appears to be popular, you are an elementalist yes?

"If you know how to do a timer program for that sort of thing, Ecg, then yeah, I guess. I jsut concentrate on them. Gods gave me the gift of being extrememly good with split concentration." I say, noting to him to call me Jake. I hold my had out to the little salamander, seing if it will be friendly with me.

*Ezekiel undoes the piece of leather from his hair and starts to plait it back from his face having decided its not worth putting foward any ideas for now*

the illusion idea could be really good, it would give a good cover for the two moving groups. Give it a go now.

*sits silently for a moment then looks up*

oh, me? Which one do you want me to try out?

*gets up*

<>
*glances at salamander*
I haven't the faintest idea why it's behaving so queerly

*shrug* temperamental I reckon

*wonders isn't it strange for Ecg to offer a fish when his familiar is an eel but then fell shy of asking*

*goes to sit by Elektra so the archers could be together*

If there are two groups I want group two

salamander ~ who is he that gave me fish? ~

*Elwyn is startled* ~who Ecg?~

salamander ~ he just sent a thought at me, the first human to ever do so~

Elwyn ~ Master Ecg's not exactly human ~

[Ecg Unagi]: "Oh thank you,- Mr. Jake."
~Is that the mystical equivalent to a fighting drill, sort of?~

(Then to Ezekiel) : "It feels different to be fighting together, as opposed to against eachother (in a ring or the arena)... doesn't it?"

"Elwyn, I never told you about my brother Arc,- he is, or should I say, was- a warrior... oh well,- I'll have to save that one for another time."

[Ecg Unagi]: "So, can we move out yet?"

*shuffles his feet a little, then does some stretching exercises and running in place.*

*Avatar walks to the front gate and joins the other mages. He feels his age which makes him act somewhat sarcastic and snarky.*

So kiddies, are we all ready for the big battle against the fearsome orcs?

*Ecg (if one pauses to notice him) looks to be somewhere in his "late teens, possibly early twenties" ... at the most.*

"Who you calling a kid?"

*smirks a bit at the implication (not in an evil way though)...*

~Hey old-timer what took you so long?~
"I think we're supposed to wait for Tom, or somebody like that,- If you're in the same group as me. One, that is..."
