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

*a large wooden door is before you. there is a doorbell to your right*

*NYC pushes the doorbell. Sea opens the door*

hi, umm... I'm here to... inspect your weapons factory...

*sea grins*

[sea] as i expected... come in, take off your coat... there's a link to the factory in the conversations list. i don't know it offhand...

*sea takes NYC's coat. the weight takes her by surprise and she falls with a CLUMP onto the floor*

[sea] man, this weighs a TON! what do you put in this?

*sea takes a look at the inner lining of the coat*

oh yeah...

[sea] silly me. bears are heavy. anyway, make yourself at home. you're my first guest... let helmsley, the butler, know if you need anything.

*NYC notices helmsley standing in a dignified manner at the end of the hall*

~Lord Blackstone, a dignified gentleman who sees fit to conceal his face behind a satin mask (or is that Masque) knocks upon the door, and is answered by the butler~

Yes, excuse me, good sir, but may I speak to the lady of the house?

~He hands him a calling card detailing his names, titles, and STUMPED affiliation~

[helmsley] right away sir. Do come in. *helmsley takes lord blackstone's coat and hangs it up* [helmsley] i believe the Mistresses Sea are in their office. This way, sir. http://www.h2g2.com/F58407?thread=90012&latest=1

*lafinass and two Acolytes of SEA approach the door. lafinass removes a hand from his black cloak. The Gauntlet glows and a gong resounds through the castle.*

[Acolyte 1] can we not translocate?

[lafinass] have you no repect? we shall not intrude uninvited unless necessary

*helmsley moves to the door and opens it*

[helmsley] aah, yes, the Acolytes. Do come in.

*he moves to the side so they can pass*

[helmsley] The Mistresses Sea are in their office. May i take your... cloaks?

[lafinass] No kind sir, you may not... This cloak does not leave my body.

*The acolytes hand their cloaks to the butler, the garb beneath their cloaks is a garish style and has not been seen in centuries.*

[helmsley] May I show you to my Lady's office?

[lafinass] If you would be so kind, we have some matters to discuss. Please announce I have brought Overseer Acolyte Lay 'Nes, Arms-Master for the Acolyte Warrior Caste. And Overseer Acolyte Xal, MageLord of the Magi Caste and Second Chair of The Magi of The Blind Eye.

*helmsley leads the way.*

[officer].....large amounts of it, SIR!


[Yo] Theres some scary s--t for ya!

~as he comes out of the woods a Otak (small intellegent weasel) jumps onto Yo's shoulder, curls up around his neck~

*helmsley opens the door* [helmsley] welcome, yowuzupman. may i take your coat? the mistresses sea are in their office. This way, sir, although you may find it a bit crowded. master red, master NYC, and those *shudder* acolytes have already arrived. http://www.h2g2.com/F58407?thread=90012&latest=1

[OOC]{ Is this Plant X or Earth then?}

Here is my cloak please take good care of it... Thank you. Good evening
Helmsley

i haven't decided yet. it doesn't really make much difference, does it?

[OOC] Just curious, you're right

*walks through door as if it was insubstancial* and knoks on the in side* oops, hey ho *looks for some where to crash for a few days*

*helmsley looks at the uninvited guest with disdain*

[helmsley] might i help you, sir?

*Helmsley looks to the Acolytes guarding the door.*

[helmsley] This gentleman, "St Acolyte So Long and Thanks for all the Fish(Rogue Seraph of lost souls) AA", is no longer welcome in this residence.

*being dragged out by more acolytes* wait a sec I think I've just worked out whats going on... well good luck *winks at lafinass*

[acolyte] NO TALKING *throughs SLaTfatF through the door*
