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

Will try to be a little more careful from now on. Hope you aren't too mad at me.

*Hangs out.*

No, sorry, I'm not mad at all. I mean....how on Earth is Psy-Crow going to prevent you from taking that?

But Minos Krylma/The Krylma Leader has always been on ogre where Continuity is concerned (you should've seen some of the sub-battles that he got into with members of the original CHOPPERS roster just because some of them didn't follow continuity. Ah, memories....)

Seriously, though, I don't mind. But my character did.

[Corrigible] Hmm ... should I help her get down, or shouldn't I?

[Yar] /I/ will. [to Scandrea] Want some help getting down with the Force?

[Elbert boards the Bug, and returns a moment later with some synthrope -- much like the real thing, except stronger than steel cables]

[Elbert] This work?

OK- glad we're cool!

Just get me down! I hate heights!

*Looks around to see if she can spy any new enemies/helpful items from her vantage point.*

[Yar uses the Force to bring Scandrea down.]

[Woogy suddenly looms up in front of the camera, with a saw hovering next to him to indicate that he's holding it, jams it forward, and starts sawing.]

[Joseph] What the HELL are you DOING!?

[Woogy] IM GONAN IINATLASL A DOOR IN TEH 4TH WAL!!1!1!111!11!

[Joseph] Why!?

[Woogy] SOO W3 DOANT HAV 2 BRAEK TI NEMOR!11!11!1!111!!!11

*KL tries very, very, very hard to not pull the Guncho spell scroll out of his back pocket. After all, there are probably better people to banish to Oblivion than Woogy. Meanwhile, Archimedes is examining the tunnel that dissappears into the ground at a gradual slant, checking for obvious traps*

Thanks Yar!

*With both feet safely on the ground, Scandrea walks over to help Archimedes. She pulls out a flashlight and shines it in the tunnel.*

[Corrigible] Why not leave that stuff to us peeps who can directly sense personal danger?

[Yar] Heh, you're so /smug/ about using the Force.

[Corrigible] And you're not?

[He walks straight over to the tunnel and takes a single step into it, Sith senses on alert for danger]

*Wants to protest, but realizes he's right. Gets our of the way, and looks for a rock to sit on for a while.*

*Archimedes sighs and walks back out of the cave right about the time that a Greklasian Spider Droid quietly lowers behind the Force user and taps him on the shoulder*

[Without turning, Corrigible draws his lightsaber and attempts to slice it in half. Yar backs away from the entrance altogether. Woogy just bounces by in the background for no reason that can be explained by the phenomenon known as "reason."]

*The spider drops to the ground and chuckles, easily avoiding the attack*

Spider-You Force-users never learn, do you? Greklasian droids were all built with Jedi and Sith attacks in mind. Force-proof, mirror-reflexes, the whole nine yards. However, I'm not really designed to fight, more's the pity. I'm something of the tour-guide for Planet Odyssey's castle that you're considering entrance to. I'm just here to warn you that you've travelled a great distance to arrive here, and you're going to have to travel farther still. You've entered the EndGame, so to speak, and it's a long and treacherous one. Have fun! Oh, and FYI: call me Cutscene.

*Cutscene The Spider-droid jumps back into the darkness above, vanishing completely for sight and sense*

That was strange...

[Joseph] Compared to WHAT?

[Corrigible mutters curses.]

[Yar] Hmm ... [grins] Ah, well. Knew it had to happen sooner or later!

[He puts away his lightsaber and draws a smallish knife]

[Yar] Time to go completely Red Mage on this one! Heh heh heh ...

*To Joseph.* Point.

Archimedes-Well....perhaps if we could gauge the mind of the villain who built this place. *Glances at Minos Krylma* In any event, it doesn't look like the entrance is laden with traps. Just a warning about traps later on.

I vote that the Force-sensitive Red Mages go first.

[Yar] Yeah, sure, whatever. [steps into the passage]

Hmmm. A castle and an end game. This should be interesting.

*Follows Yar, blaster at the ready.*

*Isn't quite sure if she wants KL behind her, or something completely unknown. Decides KL would be somewhat better, and follows after Burford*
