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

I'm going to go talk to the ancient gods where those idols are...

What is it with you and weaponry?

*returns to the camp having recovered the previously hidden machine-gun and brought a small handful of .303 rounds*
Now if this works we're gonna have roast seagull every night. Mind you with it being a large aircraft gun it takes some setting up
*starts to strip down the gun for cleaning*

*Kiddo walks by again*

Kiddo: Um, could that thing blow up if it's not working right?

You betcha sweet ass it will,
the cunning plan is to attach a very long piece of string to the firing mechanism before setting it off.
It doesn't have a proper trigger anyway, being an aircraft gun, and it'll we'll have to make some kind of tripod for it

Kiddo: I'll make sure I'm on the other side of the island when you do that then. Bye.

*Runs back to the Crangi Camp*

*watches Kiddo legging it into the distance*
Something tells me that this thing might not work.
*looks at dismantled parts and wishes for gun oil*

Oh, well. May as well put it back together and see what happens.

*thinks......Now if only we'd found a sunken pirate ship with a REAL gun*

Right....that's it back together (I think).
A bath, something to eat and it's SHOWTIME.

*Strips down to the Rising-Sun headband and runs screaming into the waves*
YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA

*...enters camp on way to waterfall*

Alright eats! Kiddo said you were getting firepower together...I had faith you would! I've gotta get something to drink...

Kiddo:*Fallowing Ox*

*waves from the surf at ox and Kiddo*
That sand gets everywhere

Careful!!!

* Peaceful is starting to worry again.

She remembers to look for her necessaire, is it lost?

Has it been buried deep beneath the sifting sands?

Hey Peaceful, that young man of yours woken up yet?

*waves to eatsmice and Peaceful on way to other camp*

I'm in need of ! Hungry!

*wanders up to camp, looking distracted and upset*
*barely registers the fact that there's a gun being fired, something which would normally have her excited*
*sighs and sinks into the sand, draws her perfectly tanned knees up to her chin and stares out into the distance*

Is this trip beginning to take its toll?

Hey Tweetie what's up?

What's wrong, Tweet?

*walks out of the surf towards Tweetie, realises he's wearing nothing but a headband, and makes a high speed detour via the cabin to get dressed*

*sits down next to Tweetie*

Something on your mind sunshine?

*Kiddo saunters into the camp, dripping wet, and plops onto the sand. He looks blankly at nothing in particular.*
