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

* Here the trees stretch out overhead. You feel a chill in your bones just venturing into this ancient place. There are a number of small idols of some forgot prior inhabitants of the Island. They stare back menancingly to ward off anyone who would come to destroy the pristine surrounds... *

* A number of torches are lit here denoting all the competitors... *

* A small water canister is half buried in the ground here. Although dirty & rusted it appears to be able to hold enough for one person for three days... *

*ignores filthy water receptical and takes a torch back to hillside to light a beacon fire*

* M.K casually sticks up a notice saying... *

Galaxy Babe is now officially a Marshall.

Oh...Ummm. Hmmm...Yes, Hello !!!

I'm GOD-almighty, and may I suggest if you don't know who I am, don't expect any favours when you're dying of starvation... !!!

Anyway, the next few days will bring a little bit of this and an awful lot of that, so be prepared...

Well at least something in that vein !!!

* HE ponders the 'whether vain' joke...Pass *

Well, the wind will pick-up from time to time, but there are no signs of rain...

So GoOD LucK !!!

- Simply, High Spirited.

*grabs the water canister, wondering why nobody else took it.*

*feels a chill in her bones just entering this place*
*pulls her coat over her shoulders*
Hello God- fancy seeing you here. I hope you'll be protecting your *only* female Archangel on this...
*realises that God-forsaken is not an appropriate adjective here*
...island.
*flutters eyelashes*
*grabs the water cannister and clicks her fingers*
*there's a flash of light and suddenly the cannister is perfectly clean*
Gosh, I wonder how that could have happened...

* Its truly amazing what the powers of the mind can do. They can make you believe in little pixies that mischeiviously clean dirty water canisters... *

* Overnight this damp place has proceeded to be covered in little mean looking mushrooms of a very pungent nature. Enough in fact for 10 portions, if a secondary set of hands can be persuaded to harvest... *

*en route from nut gathering to camp...*
I wonder if they're edible?
*picks the mushrooms (after putting down laden anorak) and store them in anorak pocket. Checks notes against "Edible fungi of the world - Mauritius sea mail centenary issue" They are exactly like the tropical breakfast delicacy mushroom.
... and so back to camp*

.

* You have the strangest feeling someone has moved the large Idol resting in this place... *

* You try to supress this thought, because of the sheer weight such an idol would be... *

* Still, it does make the hairs on the back of one's neck stand on end... *

*looks around for more mushrooms because with shifting idols ox is convinced the mushrooms must be hallucinagenic*

*Kiddo wanders into the clearing, carrying a pointed stick in his right hand and a coconut in his right. He jumps suddenly when he sees the idols*

This place is kind of eerie.

* Ox is overtaken by the wacky notion that Kiddo must be some kind of ancient spirit in battle armour bearing down on her... *

* A shower of pours continue to climb their way into the streams of sunlight peering through the canopy... *

*Ox is aware that Kiddo is Kiddo and is not in the least intimidated by the hopping idols and shower of...what was that a shower of?*

Hey, Kiddo! Don't let it spook you...in RL they practice Santeria in my neighborhood. Come over to the hillside.

* The S...pores give off a pungent aroma in this place, especially since the temperature of midday releases them to travel on the winds. The properties infact make it difficult to discern just what are mere shadows & what is real... *

* A shape 'slithers' towards Kiddo's leg... *

*Petunia wanders in. Hoping that she can eat something while here besides roast snake. She suddenly has an idea for a recipe to try when she gets home, using snake, spam and water chestnuts. She is close to delirium, having accidentally whiffed some snake venom*
