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

[Anole]: .......?

[Sharp]: "huh (that wasn't nearly so helpful...or was it?)."

[Anole]: Can't say.

[Sharp]: "I figure either he didn't know..or he won't/can't...tell us."

[Sharp]: "Hey Anole, I could almost swear that we might as well be going around...in circles...but for that the fore-ground scenery looks different."
*s a bit*

[Anole]: That's not good, is it?

[Sharp]: "Well,-this map,-It seems like @ least on it,-that we're not going in circles...."

[Sharp]: "Oh. I see. It's just that the trail is rather loopy..."

[Aeryn] *wanders in*

Hi. Found any walking dead people or, more importantly, treasure, yet?

[Sharp]: ", some s, an ugly statue...& one little blue gem..."
*shrugs*
"How about you?"

[Sharp]: "Oh. & one of the s, he let us keep this map..."
*shows Aeryn*
"...Of the graveyard."

[Sharp]: "Hey, Anole, You notice something? There aren't any more of the short 'uglies' anymore."
*looks around*
"Oh, good grief. Those've given way for/to some tall ones..."

[Sharp]: *examines a tall 'ugly.' The statue is made so as to appear to be-'holding' a longer handled axe of similar description to the one that the 'short' one had.*
"Hmm. That axe it has. It has some designs on each 'blade' side. & beady hollow eyes..."

[Sharp]: "But I don't think that this one is by the same , as those other ones."
*shudders a little.*

[Sharp]: "What do you guys make-of it...?"

[Anole]: Bad artist.

: You guys... where'd they go?

I'll be gone soon, so just act like I'm around if I don't respond, ?</>

: Nevermind...
[Sharp]: "Aside from that...notice anything else 'different' about this one from those other ones."
*notices that in(tertwined) between the markings-are some runes that spell out-*
(reading out loud):"I...am...a-gate-keeper."
"Please...leave me alone!"
""
"Steps back from the statue."
*the hair on the back of his neck...standing*

[Sharp]: "Um..."
