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

c'mon, it's just a little artistic license. it's more fun than a barrel of furry caterpillars. we're here to save the day, wave the flay, shave susan dey, etcetera. what, would you like us to join the opposition?

*senses the magic flowing against each other and looks down at lauri*
Luv... whats that?

*eyes shift toward lauri, is mildly distracted from storm. a gust of wind knocks her over*

OOF!

*climbs back to feet, pretends no one saw that, goes back to storm*

*looks up and giggles her eyes are very distant* hmmmm isn't it pretty, i didn't think it would be this pretty, the black's all shiny look *runs her fingers through the large black object she's holding*

"I know! Let's have a group-singalong!"
Pack and Recrash and Spring all leap together, line up beside each other, arms on the other's shoulders, and begin tap-dancing.

clikaclikaclikaclika - STOMP!
clikaclikaclikaclika - STOMP!

"Bum bum bum..."
"Meemeemeemeemee."
"Ahem-"
"We are a company.
..A company.
Yeah, a company.
We are a company. We are we three. A company of threes.
A company of threes-
A company of threes-"

Leapt away from each other and continued dancing in place.
"Have you got some strange disease?
Call the company of threes!
Being mugged by killer bees?
Call the company of threes!

Repeat chorus:
'Cause we are a company
-A company-
A company, we three-
A company of threes-

Being drowned in melted cheese?
Call the company of threes!
People taking without saying please?
Call the company of threes!

Call the company of threes!
We're for fun and we're for free!
Call the company of threes!
We're so dumb and we're so cheap!

Call the company of threes!
Heroes for hire, heroes in a heap!
Call the company of threes!
We'll take 'em out in a flying leap!

->remix<- (break it down)

We're so frightening - the opposition must agree.
We're so funny - we'll stitch you up and hold you there.
We're so sexy - you won't be able to resist, our muscled forms they will now twist - your mind it cannot now desist - you're fantasizing us in this (holding bikini trunks)
We're here!
We're here!
We're here!
(jumping up and around) We're here! We're here! We're here! We're here! We're here! We're here!!!!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooookay....

yeee-HAH!

*Meanwhile, Vomar and GL are still chanting with the amulets*

GL, I think that we're about to get some volcanic activity here....

*There is a small rumble, followed by a large crash. The ground starts to shake and suddenly there is a huge explosion from the top of the mountain. At least from where the top of the mountain used to be. A huge cloud of smoke and ash rise into the air, as rock rains down on the mountainside. Molten rock spews from the truncated mountaintop and flows thickly down the side of the mountain, away from the adventurers. GL turns to Vomar.*

There. Think those wizard guys will be impressed?

hmmmmmmmm, all bad and evil but all shiny and pretty, so lovely so lovely, *looks up at ice, is looking a definite shade of insane*if i draw all the bad down and make it real then it goes away but it's so pretty i don't want it to go away *clings to the black thing*

*looks at lauri*

*frowns*

*looks at spewing mountain*

*frowns*

*looks at ice and siun*

guys? i... i think we have a problem...

Ditto luv, ditto.
*looks at the black mass and conjures a small fireball in his closed palm just in case*

Well as long as the lava doesn't suddenly take an odd turn around the mountain towards us we should have time to sort all this out.

.......lauri, honey? what are you conjuring?

*the storm slows a bit, being that sea has more important things to worry about at the moment*

hmmmmmm? it's so pretty sea. it was all so bad, i didn't like it much, everything that happened, i was scared, little me was scared but i was brave *grins* i was wasn't i? wasn't i brave. but then it was too much so i was clever, i wanted it to go away so i did a clever thing, i drew it all down, all of it, and my trick made it real and it's so pretty, i didn't think it would be so pretty *strokes the black thing lovingly*

*sea regards lauri with worried eyes while keeping the storm at a dull roar*

yes, you were very brave, and that is very very pretty. but... what, exactly, *is* that thing?

*looks very serious* it's aaaaaaall the bad things that happened to us, every single one, i was drawing you see, i drew them all, when they happened i drew them all down, you saw me drawing and i feel better now because here they all are *holds up thing* but sea *looks like a little worried insane child* i..i don't know what to do with it now

*puts her arm around lauri and looks up at ice*

don't worry, we'll figure out something we can do with it. um... well, it's not doing anything right now, is it? can we deal with the lava and storm and all of that and THEN worry about it, or would you rather we did something right now? if nothing else, we can put it in my pocket. it won't be able to do too much damage in there...



what are we going to do?! what is this thing?!

hmmmmmmm? storm and lava, uh huh you can do that, i'm a brave girl i'll look after it sea, ice i'll look after it won't i, uh huh you go and play with the ..the.thing........storm *looks at the black thing like it's her baby and cradles it*

yeees you're so pretty aren't you, i was so unhappy, so unhappy but now i've got you, yes i have

hey, pf? will you do me a favor and say something normal so i'm not so scared of you IRL?

*Chanting, lava, bla bla bla*

Let's keep it up a bit longer GL. Just to be sure.
