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

*shivers and sways*

Hmm?.. wrong... no.. *blinks*

You seem a bit shakey, will I maintain course? *Alfenhiem starts looming in the distance*

Cal?

Help me!... It doesn't feel right!

What do you feel?

Trust your instincts....

Forgive me but is this as far as the story has gone? Has it moved to another site?

<<>>

For five years I wore a metal brace on my right leg to help me walk. Then two years ago I had a knee operation. On Nov 30 2004 the replacement knee fell to pieces. On Dec 30 I went into hospital for an operation to rebuild the knee. I have had to learn to walk again, starting on a zimmer frame, then crutches now a stick. I returned to work yesterday having been off work since Nov 30.


Perhaps we should go ashore? The ship is restrictive for adventures. The imagination can then carry the story forward. Perhaps this is Elfenhiem, or what ever the place is, perhaps it is a magical place created to make us think we've reached our destination a sort of red herring created by evil. Perhaps The captain has some sort of affinity with the place. Who knows. Why don't we get the elf princess ashore and find out?

Sorry to hear that LW.. hope you are fully recovered now

<<>> *Prepares to go ashore*

Ensure your men are fully armed, Captain, we do not yet know what dangers we will encounter. These islands are, after all, known as the Land of the Dragons.


Is it your wish we venture ashore, milday?

*Checks that men have arms, checks for legs, then checks for heads. That is when problems arise.*

If they have no heads, captain, where are they going to oput their hats?

They could carry them?

Quick thinking captain. But will they be able to carry them as they will be loaded down with weapons and supplys?

Will I be able to take orders from you as I am the Captain and you are invisible? Otherwise, yeah, they're strong for headless people. They can carry the ship around if necessary.

"I carry the shield of Ageis, the shield of Zeus which gives me devine protection. I wear the armour of Justice which no evil can penetrate. I carry the sword of Truth against which no evil can have defence. I am a Prince in Heredom, a Knight of the Grand and Noble order. I am an immortal. A messenger from the Gods. Have no fear, Captain you are in safe hands."

Ah, okay. I carry the shield of Nuge, the shield of my own creation which gives me protection from big sharp things. I wear the armour of very thick, yet oddly light metal, which ,hopefully, no sword can penetrate, though it only has to do so once. I carry the broadsword of LeRue's Sworde Smithey against which no person without a good sturdy shield can have defence. I am a Captain of a Boat, a Leader of a Grand and Noble secret organisation known as the Clique. I am as mortal as they come. A messenger from whoever gives me a message to give to people. So quit showing off. And your bootlace is untied.

Sorry too busy laughing, will try to think of a comeback when I have clamed down.
Hi Lil

Hello LW Thank you for your message earlier..

I don't think Cal the Assassin is coming back into this thread, he is busy elsewhere just now. ..

I will try to follow you and Capt Nuge. Hopefully, I will get a chance to join the thread again soon.

*Gets the boat ready to go ashore*
