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

Morning, Sis. Wolfgang has made some of those Honey Madeleines you like so much.

I hope he can find a recipe for the Tabs. They sound interesting.

Bye Derek. Thanks for coming. Alabaster House is always open to you, not just for tea parties.

Wolfgang, you're talking about yourself in the third person again. have you forgotten your medicine?

Yes, Derek, do drop in any time. *waves*

Antelia, I'm not sure my creditors would accept payment in golf balls, but I suppose it's worth a try. And it's hard enough keeping up with the Vice President's sheep. I'm not sure we could handle cattle as well. Do you ever pay people with butter and eggs? We could use butter and eggs.

Quail's eggs and rum butter on its way to you, Hypatia!

*Returns wearing a very tight sequined gown split nearly to her waist, 4 inch heels and a come hither look.*

I'm ready for my lapdance. Hey, where is he?

Lovely, Antelia. Thanks. It's been ages since I've had any quail's eggs. My dad used to raise quail. And pheasants.

*arrives rather late*
*notices she has missed Derek hunny*
*brings several small packets of Tabs in apple, strawberry, and cola flavour*
*hands a few around*

*Dashes in, leaving coat and hat in the cloakroom, and pulls on an apron as she walks rather quickly to the kitchen to get on with brewing up some tea*

Sorry I'm late, Madam President. *Bows slightly*

Morning Mags. Morning Acetegan.

These trans-Atlantic mornings do begin early, don't they? What I need is coffee.

*sidles in feeling ish that she has arrived after the guests of honour...*

Hello everyone! Antelia! Mme President!

*Bobs a little curtsey and wanders over to the buffet table to take in the marvelous array of food.*

*Wanders in, wearing a sandy tweed jacket, matching trousers and shoes, and a straw boater. Goes up to madam President, bows, and kisses her hands*

Greetings. Have I missed all the fun?

Morning P&G Morning Aximili Such nice manners.

I imagine the guests of honor will drop back by later.

And where is Matt? He's the one who set the starting time for this grand and glorious affair.

Coming right up, Ma'am. *Curtsey*

*Brews up some coffee in the cafetiere.*

Have I missed the guests of honour?

Of all the days for my HooToo mobile to break down. (*Ighs, then wanders off to take in the sights of Alabaster House and see who else has arrived*

*Selects a bacon and avocado sandwich from the buffet, and sits down to eat and generally enjoy the atmosphere.*

Mmm this food is good!

*Picks up a plate of ham sandwitchs, and sits next to Peace*

Excuse me, is this seat taken?

The nice things about these little lulls is that they give us time to restock the buffet trays and make fresh tea.

Ah yes, because if the tea an out then we *would* be in trouble.

*gestures for Aximili to take a seat*

*Pushes a trolley carrying fresh tea cups, an urn of freshly made tea, another urn with freshly made coffee, fresh sugar, milk, cream... and a cup of coffee for Hypatia*

*Hands said cup to Hypatia*

Here you go, one coffee. =)
