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

[Yar] Could be. In which case, I actually might be already helping out.

[Another Yar enters, this one with a mechanical arm, followed by a third dressed in Final Fantasy style Dragoon armor]

[Second Yar] Did I hear a call for "every incarnation of YK that we can reasonably rope into continuity"?

[First Yar] I don't think he meant that literally.

[Third Yar] Told ya.

[Second Yar] Oh fine.

[Exeunt Second and Third Yar]

*has re-entered the area in front of the door with YK*
Mission accomplished.

We have some novice adventurers here, I think. You count as a novice if you've never met any sort of Yar Kramer or other character posting under the name of. Novices, these are Yar Kramer. Although he is rather multiple, he is a true knight of Continuity. And other things.

Yar(s), is there anyone here you haven't met yet?

And do you have any ideas about this door and numeric keypad?

[Yar] Well, so far there's just me, but, nice ta meetcha. Let's see ... actually, why don't the ones who /don't/ know me already introduce themselves. Anyway ... hmm.

[He examines the door]

[Yar] Well, first I'm going to assume that the list of solutions does /not/ include this.

[He draws his lightsabers and arms them -- both blades are blue -- and brandishes them at the door, then turns them off and puts them away.

Apparently the door isn't into blues...

Hi Yar(s)

[Yar]

*looks at Mr. Dreadful and Santra in their VPBs*

*looks at his own VPB*

*looks at his long and rather sharp claws*

*tries to figure out how to get into his own VPB without damaging it*

Hi Yar, how ye doin'?

*Turns to Ripley.*

D'ye need a hand?

Hi Yar, glad you could make it.

*chews gum*

Guess I won't need these waders just yet. I think I was expecting something a bit more... messy.

Howdy, folks! Looks like there's a little picket line outside the dome here. Can't see anything inside of there - it's all gray and murky looking, like a pan of used dishwater. Say, you got any more of those VPBs? Thanks.

Guess I'll camp out here for the nonce. Nothing waiting for me topside but work!

Greetings, Yar (1).

[Yar] Yo, all.

*to Yar, proudly* And they're all salonistas.

Yar, do any of your incarnations happen to include an albino with a big spiky sword?

*Gives up on the dome* Hey Yar! Glad to see you again!

*having jumped smartly forward to avoid a collision in the rear with Mr D*

*looks in horror at Yar's lightsabers*

Nooooooo not another Jedi wannabe? Sick of the 1337 kids in SWG with their ebay Jedi, say it isn't so Yar.

*places her VPB over her head*

*Waves hello to Yar, but is rather preoccupied with sorting out the hair-towel-VPB tangle she's got herself into*

[Yar] Um ... no, Lentilla, they don't. [to Caer] Uh, I thought you knew, I've been a Jedi-type-person almost since I joined the H2G2 back when Goo was all there was. Heya, Sol.

[He examines the door again]

[Yar] Hmm ... well, I suppose a droid wouldn't be any help with just a number pad ... Oh. By the way, I've gotten the Divine Will of the Macrocosm on our side, so if any of us gets killed, or the whole thing goes pancake-shaped, or continuity just goes to Pangalin, we've got a reasonably sure chance of things being reset to the last possible moment before it could have been prevented. Just FYI.


I'll leave it to Affy to decide when, exactly, it would be appropriate, if it's ever anything more than an individual person dying as a sight gag.

The Divine Will of the Macrocosm, eh? Well, I hope you remembered to bring the Continuity Bleach.

Oh, GDZ, I stitched a few VPBs together and made a sort of balloon. Put the Odradek inside it, and the raft should be good for space travel.

I'm going to ask the door again. Door! Please supply the password clue!

Garius is the sort who always does that extra bit of programming, and I'm counting on that, for there to be a forgot-your-password type of question that will help us figure out the password. The downside of this is that Garius loves riddles...

Thanks Lil!
