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

You mean like a hippo ?

*KL sighs at the thought of how much money this is going to cost him. However, knowing that a classic never truly dies, he pulls a small remote control out of his cloak, and activates several hippos that emerge from concealed openings in the arena. A control for each hippo appears on a table*

There you go. Happy hazing!

Oh, and Happy, you do receive paychecks, but I pay you with electronic credits. You might not have noticed because, due to your original entry, you might have been given a faulty ID card. You can get a new one at the front of the arena, and check how much is in your account.

*lets out a small eep as he sees the hippos show up*

Well... at least I'm wide awake for this...

*braces himself for the impending impact(s)*

Zeb: Woohoo! Triple-H with only ONE BALL for all four players! THIS should be interesting! Alright, I'm controlling the orange hippo... Where are my challengers.

[sea] I want the orange one!!!!! hmmph. allright, i'm the black one.

*sea picks up the controller*

[sea] hmm... what does THIS button do?

*the black hippo starts chasing the other hippos*

[sea] hey, this is fun!!!

Zeb: A black Hippo that MOVES? They sat still and just had stretchy necks, and their colors were supposed to be like something off a hippie van (orange, pink, green, etc.). WHO'S BEEN MODIFYING THE HIPPOS?

oops. forgot what game i was playing. sorry!

*sea looks at zeb, eyes wide*

[sea] they're not supposed to move?

*sea grins evilly*

[sea] this should be fun...

*evillene tries the controller for the green hippo and finds that the hippo doesn't move. evillene tries to wrestle the black controller from sea*

This post has been removed.

[sea] i think i've played that... but i played by myself and pretended i was a zookeeper. i'd feed the hippos the marbles...

They're going to EAT me?? EEP! Well... I thought knocked around a bit... woa... this will be a first for me then... eaten by a hippo... ah, now there is a dream to aspire too.

*sea shrugs*

[sea] they might eat you if they catch you... fortunately, being in a hamster ball, you can pretty much control where you're headed.

the only problem is that most people get tired after 3 days...

*sea elbows NYC in the ribs*

[sea] don't discourage him!

OW!

oo the hippo's are back - kewl !!!

*sea tosses happy a controller for the pink hippo*

Hmm... well.... urch...
*wonders where a large hampster is when you need it as he starts moving around...*

PINK ?

Well beggers cant be chooser as my grandmother used to say

[Happy starts pressing buttons with wild abandonment ]

Zeb: HAPPY! DON'T START 'TILL WE ALL DO!!... sheesh, clowns. Okay, NYC, take the fourth hippo (either yellow or green, depends on which sea's got), and we can all start. First to eat one marble wins!

I'll take the yellow one.

*NYC grins evilly. DF begins to have second thoughts as he is strapped into a ball. the hippos are put in their starting positions*
