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

It is quite glorious up here, Shagbark. Have a glass of and to go with it.

shagbark awakes and realizes he fell asleep in the crows nest
. He climbs down the rigging and dissapears.

*Stands up and kicks the mast.*

I didn't know it did that! That reminds me of the SS Titanic!

*Looks at Caerwynne.*

Do you know where that dumbwaiter goes? *Helps self to a

I hope he comes back. I don't want to starve before my birthday

It goes via the Lighthouse Bar, but I don't know where it starts, in the galley perhaps?

::scribbles a post-ie note, which reads,"Where do you come from? Please answer," and places it in the dumb waiter, sends said dumb waiter back down::

*Is waiting to see what the answer might be and is startled by the sound of a horn blasting. Looks up to see an enormous cargo ship bearing down on them!!!!*



HOLY COW!!! THAT SHIP IS GOING TO HIT US!!!!

*Phones the Captain*
Hello? Hello? Turn the ship aside.. turn it NOW!!! What? Its me! Your lookout up in the Crow's Nest! What? Yes, I'm not kidding... EEEK!

Starving... drowning... what next?

The dumb waiter returns and in it are a plate of s
also a note saying: the dumb waiter couldn't tell you where he came from as he is a "dumb" waiter. The quiz corner at the lighthouse bar has an overabundance of sausages. We thought you might like some.

Shagbark struggles out of dumb waiter grumbling about how cramped it is. Securely closes door behind him in mast. Spies sausages.
Sets basket on table. Takes one and dissapears down the rigging, muttering about how he hopes things have dried out below by now.

*Narrowly escaping being demolished by the large cargo ship, she downs a few *

~mouth full~

Fawank oo...

*After the large cargo ship has passed under them "The Blood" softly sets down on the waves again*

Neat trick, eh?

*shagbark climbs up rigging and clambers into crows nest.
says "I hear there's a typhoon in the area. I hope things don't get to tossed about up here. (Did all those sausages blow away or did you eat them?) I suppose with the captain's ATGC operating it should be quiet enough." Shagbark leaves the way he came

*Is astonished at having the cargo ship pass UNDER them. Is even more astonished that we didn't stop to PLUNDER it..*

Shagbark! You never stay around to reply to! Have a ... *throws after Shagbark.*

Captain, please tell me what your ATGC might be?

ATGC = Automatic Temporary Gravity Corrupter. A small device that automatically moves "The Blood" out of harms way.

I *was* thinking of plundering that ship, but all it carried was a lot of - and I think we've got enough of them already.

Now, about those ...

Woolen you like a baa-n with the ?

(sorry, been hanging around with Kes too much... hehe)

*Hands her Captain a and an . Notices he is wearing a wooden shoe.*

Souvenir?

climbs back into crows nest.
Actually, this is one of my favorite places on board ship.
maybe I'll stay with you a while this time. We could always send the dumbn waiter for

**scans horizon** I wonder if we will see any whales today?**

shagbark falls asleep dreaming of mine whales with coffeepots.
