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

*Kiddo looks down at the shape 'slithering' toward his leg. He thinks it might be another snake, but it's just one of those tricky shadows*

* From out of the mists...*

HELLO...

Kiddo: Hi Petunia. I haven't had any luck finding breakfast, and I'm pretty hungry now.
*Thinks, I may have to eat a rat if that's the only thing I find on this island, but I'm not even lucky enouph to find one of those*

Kiddo: Oh hi GOD.

Petunia: Hi Kiddo. Hi God.

Kiddo:I think I just Cheezdanish say she cought a bird!

*Runs back to the Cragi base*

*delirious*
Petunia: Fine, if everyone's going to just leave me here, I'll just hang out with all the pink flying lizards and these big lawn knomes and God. Say, God, you wouldn't want to provide a nice dinner for my tribe, would you? I'm sorry by the way about that thing that happened that one night... oh well nevermind, there's probably no forgiving that one. Bali haiiii.
*skips along*

*slips out of the shadows, an amused look on her face*
Well, that was fun...
Watching people having hallucinations is so much more fun than actually having them...
*grins*
That gives me an idea...
*starts to stroll off, then turns round and yells into the wilderness, pointing to herself*
WITCH! STANDING RIGHT HERE! Where on earth did you get the pixie idea from?
Clever though, wasn't it? Duplicating that cannister at the exact moment that Dan and I reached for it...
*grins and saunters off*

* As you re-enter this place its as if the trees are alive with ants... *

* Within an instant your skin starts to feel as if many of the insects are crawling over your body... *

* You suddenly lose consciousness... *

*entering tribal area, Ox has come prepared for the ants and steps back before getting in their predictable marching path. Smearing some of the smashed berries on palm fronds he disrupts the ant trail and drags a gooey berry trail away from the area and watches as the ants turn about to follow*

I thought this was where the gods walked!

Can I vote crew members off the island?

And why do you keep trying to send me to sleep?
I think you have magick issues...

More like a GOD complex.

*grins*

* Despite Ox's attempts to stave off the powerful musty aroma of this place, he suddenly falls in a heap... *

* He dreams of many things both past & present, of tribes of old doing strange ceremonies consisting of loads of offal being thrown about & something reminiscent of a 3 stooges routine... *

* Ox finally wakes up certain that he has gained some information of importance from this most lucid of dreams... *

* HE enters looking kind of sheepish, staring down at his sandals... *

Oh...Yes, I supposed I should have informed you about the stormfront... *

But, it's past now...So let us not get too hung up about it...

Anyway, the next few days look just dandy !!!

Not even a cloud in the sky...I promise !!!

You might however want to make preparations for the hail that might aventuate in three days time...

- Simply, High Spirited.

(staggers dripping wet onto the shore, 3 days late because of lack of transportation, stormfront, a fax which would not be faxed, but mainly because of not having computer at home . Collapses on the ground, panting ... )

Hey, somebody wait for me, I still don't know what's going on...

(digs into her back-pack and pulls out her camera, waterproof, storm proof, hit and bullet proof - and guaranteed to hold your innermost thoughts on the film )

Off to do some serious work!

(vanishes into the jungle)

*Kiddo steps into the tribal council area, holding a slingshot made out of shark skin and having a pocket full of stones.*

*He had just been sneaking through the forest surching for birds and other small animals that he might have a chance of catching, when he came upon the this part of the island that he had only been to once. There are still some other parts of the island he hasn't seen at all.*

Kiddo: This place still gives me the creeps.

*re-enters site of wierd dreams and tormented sleeping*
Kiddo! How goes the sling? Who was that girl I just saw wander away from here?

Don't mind me...I like this kind of place...

Kiddo: I haven't managed to catch anything yet, but I'm working on it.
I'm not sure who that was.

It seems like as soon as we fight hard to catch something it's time to hunt again...sounds like RL!
