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

*watches as the ladies head off to try on dresses and wonders where he'll be for Hogmanay this year*

::looks for a BEATNIK outfit among all the dresses, or a pinstripe suit::

*Swallows the potion that turns her into the ravishingly beautiful lanky redhead, Susan/Witch.*

I think I'd like to wear green for New Years. *Goes through the racks of Pandora's gowns until she finds a tiny little number in leaf green and sparkles.*

Perfect!!! *Puts on the dress and does her mass of flaming red hair up into an elegant twist at the top of her head. She holds it in place with a swizzle stick from the bar.*

*thinks p'rhaps 'e should gets one of them there potions fer hi'self*

*As if by magic, Gwennie joins Mari-Rae in the ladies bathroom where she struggles to squeeze into her witch outfit*

Oops! Methinks I over indulged over the festive season!

Mari-Rae dahling, help me with this zip please. No wait! Let me breath out first...OUCH!! Thank you (I think).

Here, take the potion, silly.

*Gives Gwennie the potion and she becomes Michelle/Witch; blonde, tall, svelte, long legs. The little black dress slips right on.*

I'm looking for shoes... hmm. How about these strappy gold sandals? What do you think?

Very nice dearest, but you could always do Pan's thing and go bare foot!

*Takes a look in the mirror and nearly passes out in shock*

Argh! Where are me freckles? Oh well! *Sighs*

Come on then! Back to the bar and some drinkies. I wonder if we can wake Pan up?

*Wanders in, noting the lack of regulars and noises from the Ladies Loo. Settles down in hopes of a drink ...*

*Considers the barefoot idea as she is trying on the thin gold sandals. The heel lifts her nearly 3".*

Nope! I'm going with these! !

*Shakes Pandora's shoulder.* Wake up!!! Party!!!

*flutter of wings*

*Kasia rushes in, makes at the splendid decorations *

Hi Kes what do you want to drink?
Oh, should I now say 'Archangel Kes' to you all the time?

::is NOT finding any pants among all the purdy dresses::

*has another beer and whisky. Nods to Kes, as he hasn't seen him in a long time*

Hiya B-17

*Kasia goes to the kitchen, brings back some fresh oysters*

Mhmm, I'm starving!

Babel - you want some?

*slips out of character for a moment*
Hello Kasia, *leans across the bar and gives her a hug and a kiss*
Festive greetings to you Oysters? No thank you, I had a bad experience with them once, and haven't touched them since, sorry

*slips back into Amos mode*
Eee lass, yer lookin' grand. *grins his gap-toothed grin*

::looks at purdy dresses::

Go for it, Dragonfly. Its New Year's and a new millenium, again!! You'd look beautiful in a dress.

Yes... but... silver... or purple!??

*whizzes through the pub, still in jeans and cable knit sweater, and heads straight into the Ladies*

Hi y'all, sorry I'm so late. I had to update my page because I disovered that I forgot to put the Crossed Purposes in my link list, and then the computer crashed. Not because of the CP!

Anyway, I decided to bring a sari cos I could wear long sleeves under it and because I just love saris.... So which one will it be?

*pulls out 3 9-yard lengths of silk. One is a complex paisley pattern in golds and reds. The second is a deep blue-green with a shimmery finish, and the 3rd is midnight blue with a pattern of shot silk filigree*

*looks up from beer as Lil whizzes by carrying what looks like bolts of cloth. Wonders if he should retire to The Shed and find a tie, then realises he is wearing it as a belt. Oh well. Returns to beer*

Just "Kes" is fine Kasia - I'm off duty in here! Mmmm - oysters!

The purple, I think Dragonfly.

Any chance of a beer? Haven't had an in hours!
