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

Welcome to the Daft Chef, catering to all your magical needs. Here I sell charms and amulats, as well as spell ingrediants, enchanted scrolls, and lab equipment.

When I, Polonius Franc, am not in the shop, Timmy, my parrot, can take your orders.

Shoplifters will be metamorphosed.

Hmm, I'd better send out some promotional fliers.

*waves his wand over a pile of scrolls with gold and green trim, transforming them into advertisements for the shop*

*open the window and lets the fliers fly (it's what they do best)*

*walks into the shop and looks around*

*Elandra stands at the doorway, looking at Lycan, her face drawn with weariness and anger*

*his eyes meet hers*

what you have come to tell me I have stepped out of line and that I have been removed from DUTY?

No, but that doesn't change the fact that you have acted inappropriately, you who seems to fear showing any kind of emotion in public!

What problem do you have with the fact that I care about what happens to this city!

NO, the fact you will put DUTY and HONOUR before your own health...


so much so you would lie to thse who care about you... I saw you limp.... did you tell the healer about that?

I love you Elandra, yet you don't seem to care about yourself, whats my point in being here, if I just have to watch you stay here and die

*Timmy is on his perch*

*Polonius is in the back room, making more charms to replace those used in battle*

I was not going to die! Okay so I wasn't healthy, yes, but I was not in danger! The Guild and Imardin /need/ me, and I recognise that, although you don't seem to!

*takes a breath*

I will not die in this war. I know how to take care of myself!

No! you wouldn't have recovered... how did you know that the Drow wouldn't attack again before you got healed...

if they had, you wouldn't have survived another battle like that...

The Guild and Imardin /need/ you ALIVE and WELL

They would not have attacked again! And...and, if they need me alive and well, they need you to be here! Present! Not run off, forgetting the hundreds of thousands of people here that look up to you for guidance and protection!

*enters from the back room*

Did I hear someone say they needed guidance and protection? Then you've come to the right place. I have all sorts of protection spells and guidance charms and heeling potions...(babbles on)

you don't know they wouldn't attack, this is a war, not another one of your training exercises

I don't want to stand here and watch /you/ fall apart under the pressure...

I love you too much, I can't help you unless you let me, you don't have to hold the Burden alone...

*Elandra somehow manages to ignore Polonius*

I wouldn't let myself fall apart, Lycan, Imardin needs me!

I can remedy that. I have a special spell here that can bind two life forces.
