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

*A dog yelps and runs from under the blanket down the alley.*

*However, in the direction that he runs, behind some rubbish bins, a scrap of green cloth can be seen.*

*looks at Kyara*


This is proving to be interesting

*lets go of her dagger and glances after the departing dog.*

Oh yes very interesting.

Help me move these bins.

*gets to work helping her shift the bins*

I somehow didn't think this is what I'd be doing when I set out for this place

*grins,picks up a bin and dumps it out of the way.*

I wonder what we'll end up doing tomorrow.

*gives her a lopsided grin*


I don't even want to go there

*lifts another bin out of the way*

*Underneath the rubbish bins is an unconscious Lumien.*

*stops shifting the bins*


oh god look!


*kneels down and gently shakes Lumien*

*Goes pale and kneels down next to Calel. Checks her vital signs*

Well she's breathing at least.
Lady Lumien can you hear me?

*Doesn't respond*

you know maybe we should take her back to the town

*Polonius arrives from the market and sees Lum*

Ho! She needs a healer such as myself to examine her thoroughly before she can be moved. Let's get the rest of this rubbish away from her. *starts to clear rubbish*

*starts to help remove the rest of the bins from around her*

*Stands back to give them more room.*

How's she looking?

*looks at her and decides he's seen dead people with more colour*



*looks across and instead says* She probably look s worse than she is

*collects a few peices of stray rubbish and deposits them in a bin.*

I hope so. It's a good job there was a trained healer nearby.

*starts to look a little less pale but glances nervously at Polonius and Lumien.*

*quiet voice* But I wonder what happened- I mean she didn't just end up like that on her own.*/*

I surpose we'll find out in due coourse

I'm not sure if she was hidden here or if she fell off the roof. Either way, we've got to get her to the healing hall or my shop, which ever is closer.

How are we going to get her back without causing her more damage?

I'll start treating her most serious wounds now, but I need you to borrow a cart from the market that we can use to wheel her to safety.

*continues examination and addressing wounds*
