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

*Lizzie is scared speechless and just stares wide-eyed out the door at the action on deck.*

*Martens enters*

Miss Lizzie, all is well now and we have defeated the beast although I fear we were sore pressed for a while. Hurry up to the deck .. your mother needs you

*goes to sea chest and places a number of items there. Takes a large swig from a bottle before hand*

Martens also noticed the ransacked chests.

*Noticing the ransacked chests Martens removes one item from Gillings chest and secures it in his own. This item was something in Martens chest before the ransacking*

*Lizzie watches Martens, then follows her mother back to their cabin.*

My sea chest isn't here, it's in another forum.

Yes it is. Check your private thread.

Sorry, that might have been ambiguous. Your chest is here.

*Enters. GM: Is anyone in here? Has anything changed from when I last was here?*

*follows Lorenzen*

Seaman! You still have my hunting knife. Unless you have something of equal value you wish to trade it for, I will need it, especially if we are attacked again.

Ma'am, I believe you are mistaken. It may have been one of the other seamen who borrowed your knife, but I know I never had it. I have been using weapons more suited to my culture. Perhaps Johan has your knife? What was it borrowed for? When?

Post 336 of on deck thread - Uli throws knive into the deck at the feet of Martens.



I believe Martens is here. As for changes, I'll post in your private thread.

So was Uli asking Lorenzen or Martens for the knife?

*Notices Martens*

Martens, do you have this lady's knife? If you do, please give it to her, and then, if you would, I need a word with you in private.



I'll start the private thread after the knife situation is cleared up.

*thinks: All you johans look alike to me*

Aloud: I am sorry if I mistook you for another. I only saw a seaman with no weapon but a wooden pin standing up against the sea beast.

That may well have been Martens, here. The only time during which I would have been in need was when the Kraken had me in it's grip, and as my arms were pinned to my sides, I would not have been able to catch your knife.

Do you... do you think we will be attacked again?

Are we waiting for Martens to come here or should I go back to what I was originally intending to do?


I cannot see the future. I only hope that the future finds us better organised and aware of all our talents in battle.

If you want to move along, you can post that Martens hands you your knife. Being in Australia, he won't be here until we are all in bed. We get a bit of overlap with him in the mornings.

*Amelia rushes in without really looking about the room*

Amelia: Yo, 'han, what are you doing in he-

*She sees Uli*

Amelia: Oh, hi... *She does the patented anime "nervous-back-of-the-neck-scratch" and backs away slowly* Erm, I wasn't aware that you were busy... I, uh. Yeah. Heh... heh heh...

*akward silence*
