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

*Has a passing thought about what a better world according to her would be like. Shakes it away.*

I guess we just have to make things better with what we have...

*wolf sighs as she doesn't seem to /get/ what he's saying*

[Wolf] Personally I'd settle with not making the place any worse

*Sighs.*

Let me know when it goes away... I don't really care to share a private moment with an omnipotent third party watching. In the meantime, care to get something to eat?

[Wolf] Can do. Where'd you like to go?

Anywhere I don't have to cook!

~~If you ever want to talk more, Ill be waiting for you in the library~~

*Wolf ponders this, and wonders if he should go there later and investigate*

[Wolf] Well, we've really got two choices, the tavern and the guild...

*thinks for a minute.*

The Tavern. I'm not sure I could face Shaylar yet...

[Wolf] Ok, shall we make our way there?

*Wolf gets up and helps Lumien to her feet*

Yes, please!

*Allows herself to be helped to her feet, and led out of the Aviary to the streets below. She glances back at Chandra, who seems to be smiling, and smiles back. Chandra ruffles her feathers, tucks her head under her wing, and disappears, leaving a small flock of confused birds.*

*in the street wolf pauses*

[Wolf] wait a minute

*wolf holds out a hanky, which he wets under the aviery water pump*

[Wolf] we can't have you looking all bedraggled, whatever will people think?

*Wolf winks and procedes to wipe Lumiens face with the damp hanky*

[Wolf] there, that's better

*Lumien smiles as Wolf wipes the salt streaks from her tears away.*

Thank you...

*Nestles into his shoulder as they walk to the tavern.*

*Sharmin awakens lying in a large pile of guanno and covered in feathers, he spits clumps of feathers from his mouth and walks over to the bird bath and cleans himself up*


EWWWWWWW I need a bath.......

*heads off to the tavern to find a nice hot bath and a soft bed*

*Lycan comes in muttering to himself and attaches a note to a magpie and it flyes off*

*he shakes his head* what am I doing here...

*hobbles off*

*Alan walks into the Avery and instantly the smell hits him and he holds his nose*

*at the sight of him hundreds of birds start tweeking*

Please please, I can't understand one of you nevermind you all

right now please, one at a time... a sparrow perhaps

*a sparrow leaps to him and starts tweeting away*

I haven't a clue what you mean

*Skye swoops into the avery*

Yes yes very interesting

sparrow:[This man is a fool, he can't understand a word of it!]

Skye: So Alan what did the bird say?

Erm... errr... he said is this a friend of yours?

Skye: wrong answer Alan.. try again and listen harder

Hi, there sparrow its nice to meet you

Sparrow:[and you sir are a fool]

I am not a fool!

Skye: well it seems you can understand him

*birds suddenly take flight, all except an owl*

*runs in with a sack of half-finished arrows, couldn't understand bird speak but asks anyway*
Hello, can I borrow some feathers? It's for the copper arrowheads. For the guild I meant.
*stammers nervously, but seeing the owl's not attacking, feels it is a good sign, plucks up feathers strewn on the ground and fletches the arrows, feeling edgy in such a place*
*finished the arrows*
Thank you, bye!
*one last bow and rushed out with the completed arrows*
