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

*Abandons search for iron tablets and starts looking for a meerschaum pipe instead*

Like this one you mean ?

*mari-rae begins singing.*

Ooooh, now THAT'S a tune I'd buy on CD it's very haunting, yet strangely alurring. It's like it's calling me. Yes, I think it might be. Uhh guys... I think I'm going for a walk. Over that way. Yes. Definitely.

*starts strolling mindlessly towards mari-rae on her rock*

I believe is full of iron...and it's certainly much more fun than iron tablets !!!

What is that infernal racket *Linus having different taste in music to Wowbagger *

It's called "Die Lorelei" ... song about a mermaid.
*Joins in*
"Ich weis nicht was soll es bedeuten ....."
*Looks round nervously for signs of air-to-ground Moderation*

they probably thought you were drunk



I hope you will all be signing up for my campaign

*sniff sniff*

are there any air fresheners in the APC? I think mari-rea's new metabolism is making her a bit, umm........flatulant.

OMG! That sounds even worse than the siren of Titanic - what was her name again? Celine Dion?

*puts some seaweed in his ear, grateful accepts the piepe from Shazz and empties three - just to be on the safe side...*



Am, I the only one having troubles accessing h2g2 these last two days? It's working ever so slowly

I am also

Well, personally I quite like Mari-rae's singing

*Pops back into the APC and rummages around for air-freshener*

shazz

There are some activated charcoal packs stored somewhere up the front. They're meant for use in event of chemical attack ... You could try getting mari to sit on one of them .... and yes, that siren song is rather nice .......

~singing a lovely sad song about a seal and a young girl... it all ends badly...~

*Flips her tail at Wowbagger's approach...*

Found them!!!

Now all I have to do is pursuade Mari-rae to sit on them...

shazz

*Sees Shazz approaching her with packets of something or other. It all looks really fishy to her...she doesn't trust anyone in purple frilly knickers. Stops singing and dives into the sea.*

SPLASH!

Just set it down there, and cover it with seaweed ... she'll be back. I wonder what scared her off?

Well, Kes. It could be the that angry looking mob of Deimosian Surfers coming over the dunes.....If they are planning crashing our BBQ...I will be most upset.

*expertly flips burgers while watching the surfer-dudes shuffle down the dunes*

Hmmm ... I wonder if I could sell them some urgent health insurance .... let me show them the benefits of staying healthy...
*Picks up a flamethrower and wanders towards the dunes*
Save me a burger!

*swimming along... enjoying her new found freedom of movement in the water...breathing quite well with her new set of gills. She discovers that her eyes can see normally under the waves. *

humming... I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden...

*Wonders why her fetching purple knickers have spooked Mari-rae! Drops the charcoal freshneners down and covers them with seaweed*

Keeeeeeeeeeewl! Kes REALLY knows how to handle that flamethrower!

*Can still hear Mari-rae singing, although it now sounds like bubblease!* o0o0ooo

shazz

Wow a real mermaid, come back I want to run some tests!

-- DoctorMO --

Now it sounds like a seal impersonating Ringo Starr - as if Ringo wasn't bad enough...

Shazz, I think you'd better take of those purple knickers . They seem to spook mari-rae - and it could really upset a deimosian bull - should one of them ever come this way...

Flaming Moe's, you ARE a natural with that flamethrower of yours, aren't you, Kes?

Watch it, doc! If anyone should run tests on our mari-rae I'm sure we could manage it ourselves

I'll just wrap my towel around them for the time being ...

MO... where did you pop up from?

*Examines the closely to make sure he isn't a Demosian in disguise*

All clear!

Are you enjoying your stay on Deimos? Did you start at the 'Pleasure Domes' and work your way around? As says... we don't want Mari-rae harmed... just converted!
