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

Yes, he does know.

Nice work with the rat! It has sated your hunger for now, but you know it won't last long. Before the night is through, you will probably need to feed again. For the next while, though, you shouldn't need to worry about it.

Oops, I should have read that before I sat down at the table. No harm done though.

In case you missed it on the Announcements thread - I've just invited you to play a 3rd character, D'E

This one, however, isn't a stand-in - it's permanent!

I saw that GL - but I think you must be wrong. At this point I know all about Volkert being a vampire, I know that Goodschad is a ghost, I know all about the captain, and then with another character I would know even more.

I think half the fun is trying to figure out everyone else's hidden agenda, so it's probably better if you find someone else to fill in. If you can't find anyone, I'll take over so the game can continue.

You've got to invite me to the next one, though.

Oh, for sure! The only reason you weren't in this one from the beginning was because you were secluded in the BB.

I'll have a go at finding someone else, then, and I'll let you know if I am unsuccessful.

ok I'm back! ohh joy, look at that backlog! you think one of yous could fill me in?

Sure.

First of all, there are some new rules regarding reading backlog - see the info/rules page.

While you were gone, Volkert managed to satisfy his thirst by using a rat. He announced on the "on deck" thread that there was a rat in the Galley. The the cat went into the galley and killed the rat. Volkert followed the cat into the galley, and took the rat from the cat and bit it. You should read the Galley thread, starting at post number 9 and reading until Volkert leaves. Also read all of this thread.

Since then, I don't think anything significant has happened to Volkert, but d'E should pass on his observations too. Everyone has had dinner and I think Volkert is now on deck.

d'E - I have another role for you! I haven't scanned in the character description yet, but I'll post on your home page when I do. It's a stand-by character that normally would be used if someone got killed (so that actor could keep playing), but circumstances require someone to fill it now. So, don't read any other characters

You can hear the new ghost, but not see it.

Not much else happened. I picked up your conversation with Affy, but couldn't bite him because we were never really alone. Brief conversation with Goodschad, but nothing new learned. Uli seems to be a witch, or at least can use magic. I thought for a moment there was garlic in the fish but it turned out to be a false alarm.

At the moment Volkert has started climbing up the mast towards the crow's nest, but I never posted anything from the crow's nest so he could easily have changed his mind and stayed on deck.

Now I'm taking my dog and leaving this private thread. C'mon Zeppo.

_/-\_

ok cool, thanx for standing in for me, cya round

GL, since I have had dealings with ghosts, I do know that there is a Ghost right? I mean I kinda assumed……..

The post above d'E's was from me and it said that you can hear the ghost but not see it.

ok, I'll take that as a yes and move on

what time is it in the game?

It's just a little past sunset. Time moves slowly on h2g2

ahhh darkness.......

Just saw your post in the brig. Amelia isn't there anymore - when you were away, she came up on deck with Richardson, had dinner with everyone and is now in Richardson's cabin having a conversation with him. You could stand outside his door (in the shadows) and eavesdrop if you like. I think he just checked outside the door, so if you went there now, he probably wouldn't check again. Maybe. Remember, if you are eavesdropping, post here that you are and only read the last post in that thread. If he does look outside his door again when you are there, I'd have to tell him that he sees you. Then you would have to make up some excuse.

Just checked - he has the music up loud and is whispering in her ear. Sorry- no chance of eavesdropping.

alas, it was a good idea, I'll have to attempt it someother time

what is the condition of the sea right now?
