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

Welcome to the quarters of captain Arisztid Lugosi. It is not a very large cabin, and is rather plain. It is lighted by a few lanterns on the wall. It feels cozy, and the firelight casts a warm glow. There is a small bunk on the right side. The wall opposite the door is a dark wood, most likely mahogany. Up against the wall that has the door, on the left side, is a desk with many charts, and a globe. Above the desk are two bookshelves filled full of the captains favorite books. There are not many decorations, but the walls do hold a few swords and old pistols.

ok... well i doubt that this will fix it... but its worth a try...

*bustles in, with Halla leading the way...*
OooooOOOO! Very nice!
Aw, your lanterns are nicer than my one; I might have to visit you lots!
Hey you've got books!

awww! thanks jerms! do come and visit me lots!!! this has been one lonely cabin so far!
and you can borrow any books you like!!!

Thank you!
*Sits on the bunk and bounces a little to test its springiness.*

Are you okay?

me? am i ok?
i guess so?
why do you ask?

You're being brave about something, and I don't know what.

Um.

Something about being visited? Are you lonely?




...I've just read your other post. You ARE lonely.
Come talk to me on another thread, babe.

yep. hit the nail on the head. i'm lonely.
and yet whats worse i know i shouldnt be! i mean i feel bad that i feel bad...

ok i'll come and talk to you on annother thread
sounds good to me

thanks

*looks around the room*

hmm... perhps i could re decoratw a little

Want help?

yes! totall!!!!

do you think we can work in a waterfall in some way? or some sort of fountain?

I can drill a hole in the side of the hull! Is that what you had in mind?

not quite... iwas hoping for one that wouldnt sink the ship...


at the rate these convereations are going you'll never get to reply to any of my other posts to you before i go to bed... in about an hour... as i have to be up till 11:30 tomorrow night...

Gah! I'm typing as fast as I can!

I'm sure we can find a way to have a waterfall down the wall... Probably will involve some polyethelene plastic, some supports sticking out of the wall... some rock-type shapes... hmm... maybe that packing foam... whatzitcalled? ...some paint, and a water pump.
And a pond-type container.
And some water.
And some plants.
And some glue.



Draw a design; I'm sure we can do this!

*starts skeching out a design*

"Gah! I'm typing as fast as I can!"
faster! faster! no jsut kidding... theres really no real rush... you'll have plenty of time to reply when i'm gone. and then i'll have something to cheer me up after school, just before i go to work...

...yeah, but then I can't reply to /your/ replies until I get back on monday... stupid sun being on the wrong side of the planet and causing different time zones...
...or maybe it's a supid planet for not being flat...

..I suppose it's for the best. If I get away from here early enough then I get to catch up with my father for dinner.
And if you were on here the same time I was, every time, then I would /never/ get my assignments done...
...If you were here in person it would work better 'coz it's quicker to talk than to type, but then we'd miss out on the conversation with everyone else... and you're not here anyway so I guess I have to live with it.

Got a design for the waterfall? We can adjust it as we go...

"yeah, but then I can't reply to /your/ replies until I get back on monday"
yes... but wont you be on after i go to bed?

"If you were here in person it would work better 'coz it's quicker to talk than to type, but then we'd miss out on the conversation with everyone else... and you're not here anyway so I guess I have to live with it."
well i wish i was there.... but just this afternoon i was wondering if i would actaully work if i was there or you were here... ihave an almost crippiling shyness... but it only really comes up if i like you, which i do... so i'd really be screwed...

as for the waterfall i'm really not sure... its got to be very tall. and i want one big watrefall thingy and then some little bits of cascading water down some littler rocks... and there has to be some nice round rocks in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall...

I mean I won't be able to reply to the replies you make tomorrow, until after I get back again. Y'see?

Think of hootoo as practice for RL... you know what kind of person I am... well sort of... and I sort of know what kind of person you are... so it'll be kind of like we already know each other! Besides, I can deal with shyness... I know exactly what it's like 'coz I have it too.

Hmm... very tall, you say? I was imagining it coming out of the top of the wall, and running down the wall... but what's above your cabin? Coming out of the ceiling at the top of the wall would give it more... volume, I guess.
Tell you what... now that you have a design, let's find some rocks on a beach or something, and collect them and see how we can put them together...

ok nevermind... wild goose chase... sorry...
i decided that the 'gub' thread is probably better... as this is a rather public place as in if anyone has a questoin for the captain they may come here....

ok i see now... that makes sence... what i meant was all the threads you havent replied to yet you'll be able to do when i go to bed.... does that make sence?

"Think of hootoo as practice for RL... you know what kind of person I am... well sort of... and I sort of know what kind of person you are... so it'll be kind of like we already know each other! Besides, I can deal with shyness... I know exactly what it's like 'coz I have it too."

ok. i'll try. but i'll still be incredably nervous and really shy. i cant help it. it happens if i care... well if we ever do meet, jsut be really patient... all it means is that i care what you think.. and so dont want to say something stupid... or look stupid... or whatever...

ok i cant wait to go rock hunting!
i'm good at that. i cant go to beaches wiht rocks any more because then i come home wiht pockets full of rocks and then i dont know what to do...
maybe thats waht we'll do if i ever meet you..we can go to a beach... that way i'll be to preoccupied wiht finding pretty rocks to be shy....or at least i hope that theory works...i doubt it though...
