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

*Opens the door*

Come in, do you have news

*enters*

Yes, I have news, but it is not kind. A young mage with great strength broke into my room and stole my breifcase containing my posters and invitations. I was barely able to escape with my life!

So the Lycanthrop and the High Elementalist know of our plans

*Nevermore flies in*

Cwaah, Mistress the Lycanthrop Lord Wolf and High Healer Lady Lumien are planning to adopt a child from the Orphanage

*Patricia smiles*

It seems fortune is on our side, Well done my faithful pet

Why do you say that? Have you a new plan?

**

What do you think the people of Imardin will do when they find out about the Lycanthrop adopting children, after we've told them what we want them to hear of course

Converting the war orphans to werewolves for thier army? Isn't that just a little far fetched, pardon the pun.

You have spent a lot of time in the slums, what do the people want

The people want equality. Every day, they look up from their half-destroyed buildings at the great and splended Guild Hall, with its warm fires and fancy furnishings. And food, an endless supply of food, for comparitivly few, while the many in the Slums have so very little. The people in the Slums want to live in nice houses with gardens and trees, they want some of the money to flow further than the wealthy merchants in the Market. If we really want to win approval from the greatest number of people, we need to rebuild the Slums.

And how will we do that, you know how fickle they are how do we know they will follow us when we've finished rebuilding their homes

What if we work out a sound economic plan that you present while the homes are being rebuilt? The people will be so excited about economic prosperity that you'll become queen by popular opinion. From there, you can have the Guild disbanded and the guild hall converted into low-income multi-family housing.

*Sighs*

It sounds like the only option, it's been so long since I was a goody goody I've forgotten what it's like

You'd rather stroll in and start chopping off heads? Tell me, why exactly do you want the Guild destroyed? My sources only went so far as to say that you killed the former High Council, but not why.

They seperated me from my love, I vowed revenge on my family and the High Council who bowed to them

What became of your love?

He is back at the guild.

So you want to destroy his as well?

I don't know, I don't know if he knows I'm back

Have you given him any evidence to that fact? Surely your exploits have come to his attention.

He probably knows I'm back, my wretched fiancee would have told him

Have you told him?
