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

*offers Odra a proper gibson *

Care for a drink?

Waiter! Another five bottles of vodka. Spiffys all round!

*pops a straw in the Gibson and a straw in the Spiffy and sips*

Gibson certainly was a pretty spiffy fellow...

*Grabs a tray from a passing waiter*

Mmmmmm.......cheese platter heaven. Gouda, anyone?

*idly plays with the straws of her drinks...in the mood for french fries, oddly...*

*grabs a tray from a passing waiter*

Mmmmm.........hot chip platter heaven. French fries, anyone?

mmmm.................Spiffy...........slurppp......hic'

*wanders in somewhat red eyed from all the reading he's been doing*

Geez Louise, is this a party or what? This is almost as much reading as I've done since I first got here.

*snags a portion of gouda and a ginger ale*

*mumf mumbl mumfl slurp*

Pardon my garius imitation, please.

Hmmm.... Quite the spiffy outfit there Odra. Your hair looks nice.

It took almost one year and quite a bit of spirits for my fellow travelers to introduce me to my favorite version of fries.
Pommes frit(sp) mit mayonaise. Fries have to be really crispy and hot but, they're really good.

Mayonaise? Sounds interesting.........could someone pass the vinegar, please?

Cthulu, don't believe we've met. Howdy do.

Looking a bit fuzzy around the edges there Kumabear.

*grins at jr's chivalrous hair comment*

Good man.
Pommes frites avec mayo pour l'homme, s'il vous plait.

Bonjour...*sidles over to jr...makes him a shirley phlog temple*

G'day & howdy do jr, just feeling my way along.

Waiter - quick, we're running out of Vodka! 10 more bottles - no, just bring the vodka tap over here, and whatever Odra needs for her shirley phlog temple.

Guten abend. Pardone, bitte. Ich nicht spreche Deutsch.

Previous life deal in W. Germany. The Germans picked upmore than women from France over the centuries. They have killer pastries and would probably kill for them.

Thank you very much dear Odra but, as I normally have no magical abilities other than my ignorance is blissful smile I must ask: Is it safe?"

Mixed with vodka jr, I'm sure anything's safe.

Anyhow, must away, duty IRL. Sorry to leave when things are picking up again. Perhaps you shall all still be here tomorrow (at post 800 or so - more backlog to catch up on )

Tah, Cthulu.


Aaah, jr, it's perfectly safe. Non alcoholic even. With gingerale!

*pours red liquid labeled "Achtung -- verboten" into jr's gingerale*

*naively accepting Odra's pronouncment and offer*

Why, thank you Odra, dear.

Hmmm.. Verboten? Seems there was a list then that said Verboten on it and that was the list we used to find out where to go for fun.

*quaffs significant amount of fluid proffered and hair immediately takes on Odra appearances*

OH YEAH! Hope there are no side effects from this. BTW, the green hue of your skin goes really well with the coppery color of your ensomb.

*sticks forked tongue out at jr as she giggles*

Greenish? That must be your phlog kicking in....

*slightly more bewildered than usual*

Are we sure one is not making an asp of oneself?

Asp me no more questions...l'll tell you no more lies....

*Sniffs the drink that Odradek made*

Odd. Normaly, people with non-magical abilities explode when drinking phlog, because the body has nothing else to do with the energy. Perhaps the alchohol removes the magical energy in the drink, yet keeps the flavor.

*Pours the Spiffy into a test tube, pushes a few buttons on his watch, and teleports the test tube to CLI*
