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

*the Elf meanders his way to the Inn and stands in the door swaying shiftlily and running his fingeres back through his hair. He seems twitchy and flighty. He surveys the silent scene, then purposefully makes his way over to the bar smirking*

*watches the stranger carefully out of the corner of his eye*

*the Elf sits at the bar and drums his fingers on the counter for attention. Finally realising the barman is ignoring him purposefully he turns and surveys the rest of the people in the bar. He smirks to himself, then he spots the person watching him *

*frowns to himself as he now openly watches the Elf*


*wonders why on earth and Elf would come here willingly*

*the Elf leans back against the bar watching his watcher, he glances at the floor hiding a grin, then looks up again through the fringe of his hair which has now flopped foward*

Do you have a problem, sir?

*gets up from his table and goes and pulls up a stool at the bar next to the elf*


Should I have?

*the Elf shrugs* I've only just arrived.... theres been alot of talk about this place, about elves here. So I just though since I was passing through *he scans the room curiously*

*rasies an eyebrow*

There has only ever been one elf in this city

Yes, and was she not quite high up in the ranks here?
*he rooms a very thin small blade from a pocket and starts to pick at his nails*
I dont suppose there is any work an Elf like myself could find here?

*catches the barmans attention and orders both himself and the elf something to drink, to much muttering from the barman*


She was apparently a princess of your kind, she was bethrothed to Marry James Warwickshire, of course that was before other men caught her eye, as for a job, I don't know my friend you may be hard pushed to find one given your creed

And what would you know of what I believe? *he stows the thin blade again turns slightly more towards the other man just visibly swaying a little* I can do all kinds of odd jobs, I made some money joining investigative, protective and adventuring groups. Thats not to say my help was always appreciated...

You can but try *shrugs* but I think you'll find people not very accomodating

Oh? *the elf rubs a thumb along his bottom lip thoughtfully then suddenly jumps from the chair and turns smiling*

And what would you do in this place yourself?

*smiles and looks thoughtfully at the ceiling*


This and that

This and that? *the elf rubs his lip again in a sort of twitch and quickly draws a small wooden flute type instrument from his back and twirls in round his fingers* You know, I'm sure we could find some way to help each other

<< Back was meant to be bag >>

<>

Really? *grins and shifts on his stool* and what do you propose?

I'm sure theres some use you could find for me

*he starts to twirl the flute the other direction round his fingers*

Or are you so good at what you do you require no help?

I can track, I'm quick, I can use magic

*raises an eyebrow*

What makes you so sure that I "do" anything at all?

*the Elf slips back onto his chair slowly and shifts edgily eyeing the other*

You seem at home here, you know things about this place therefore I would assume you have been here a while or, you were passing through but ended up with some business that is as yet unfinished. You bought me a drink

*he takes a sip of it and smiles slyly*

that means you have money

*he sets the drink down and jumps off his chair again. He pushes his hair back and makes a pitiful face*

I'm bored, what can I say. I need some form of entertainment. Besides, if you dont put me to work I'll only cause trouble *he grins darkly and paces absently stopping to glance out the window*
