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

*looks at Mari-rae*

i didn't realise this adventure was fancy dress...

Love the towel Shazz...although it does seemed to have shrunk somewhat in the wash

Indeed!
It seems to be getting smaller all the time!
I hope this isn't going to become a problem!

shazz

*Glares at Linus. Stomps off to a corner table to drink her Takes a bowl of pretzels with her. She is really embarassed.*

*Notices a group of hover-bikers in the amusement arcade, and walks over to them. Assisted by his smile and machine pistol, persuades one of them to exchange her set of leathers for a life-insurance and medical policy ... ... Walks back to the bar, and sets the leathers down in front of mari-rae*

Hope these are your size. The colour suits you!

*Returns to the bar*

Kes... you are a miracle worker!


*Pulls another Demosian for Kes and refills the pretzels*

shazz

*the pirate has finally dressed up in the new clothes some of the girls have brought him: Black leather boots, black leather trousers and a white shirt. A bright red scarf is hiding his greying hair*

What do you say, girls? Should we occupy this round table in the corner an have another round of ?

*Suddenly the building is shaking as if hit by a major earthquake*

Hm, if that was caused by an explosion it must have been a powerful one very far away as I didn't hear it. Ah, well, I take it this must be somebody elses problem. But just in case: Let's order something to eat while we still have time!

*Shazz grabs her (slightly bent) weapon and rushes from the club, snagging her towel on the broken door lock and leaving the towel behind*

*grabs towel and secures it firmly back in place.*

I don't think that NOW is the time to eat Pierce... we better check that the transport is still in one piece!

shazz

*So astonished, she sits there a bit dumbfounded... staring at Kes. Then the building shakes. She grabs up the leathers and rushes for the Ladies Room.*

Thanks...

*Finishes drink, slings machine pistol over shoulder, and trots back towards the APC. Looks around, then talks into radio mike*

OK . Listen up .. Don't know what caused the explosion, but there are a lot of security police on the upper level. Be careful and be quick getting back to the APC. I'll have it ready to roll.

Should we take the (near) naked biker chick Kes...after all i wouldn't want her to get in any trouble

I think not ... right now she's doing a great job of occupying the attention of the security guards .... Grab a few bottles from the bar, and lets get the APC ready to go.

*Charges out of the Ladies, weapon at the ready, new clothes slightly too tight, but not restricting her movements. Heads for the APC.*

Shazz, here! You can have this dress if you want it.

mari! Shazz! Goons in the gallery! Keep an eye on them! D'you want covering fire?

*From inside the APC*

I'd rather not Mari-rae

I have found myself some leather dusters in here and have stapled them into something resembling the costume Raquel Welch wore in 'One Million Years BC'

LOOK OUT!!! Snipers on the roof!

shazz

Thanks Shazz! Gas masks everybody ... or run & hold your breath!
*Kes kneels and loads a gas canister into his rocket launcher. He fires as mari runs for the APC*

*Freezes and picks off the sniper. Dives into the APC.*

Oompf!

*Fires another gas round into the gallery, then runs for the APC*
Cover me!

*Shazz throws her now-very-shrunken fluffy white towel over Kes*

Oops... I guess that wasn't quite what you had in mind huh Kes?

*Fires of a few rapid rounds as Kes lunges for the APC*

shazz

*Falls into the APC, then removes towel. Looks round*
Ooh! You'd better have your towel back Shazz! Glad you made it mari. Is linus here? He stopped at the bar ...

*while watching the spot on the wall, suddenly notices other spots on the wall appearing, combined with the sounds of heavy gunfire*

Stone the CROWS! (I can't believe I said that)
I'm coming guys!!!!

*cocks gun and sprints to the action*
