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

*High up in Bobo Tower lies the quarters for Garius Lupus. It consists of 5 rooms: Living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and study. It is furnished sumptuously in antiques and thick rugs, with oil paintings on the walls and lots of polished oak. You enter the quarters into a small vestibule where there is a coat closet and an antique umbrella stand. Straight ahead is the living room.

The living room includes a seating area for conversation, a bar and a dining area with a long table. The table has two silver candelabras, one near each end and the sideboard holds another. In one corner of the living room is a curio cabinet filled with an array of astonishing items. It is locked and the glass appears to be unbreakable.

The kitchen is through a swinging door on the right wall of the living room. On the left wall of the living room is a short hallway, off of which open the doors of the bathroom, study and finally the bedroom.

The study is perhaps the only one of these that warrants comment. It's walls are covered with bookshelves containing numerous leather-bound volumes. On one wall is fireplace with several wing-back leather chairs facing it. On a small side table is a crystal decanter filled with brandy. On another wall, between bookcases, is a small cupboard door. This door does not have a conventional lock, but instead, has an iris-scanner. Hmmmmm. Unusual security for a simple closet.*

*GL walks in and shuts the door. He takes off his cape and hangs it in the coat closet, then kicks off his shoes and pads into the living room. He sinks into the couch.*

Harrison? Where are you?

*A tall thin man, dressed as a butler, comes out of the kitchen, carrying a tray. He sets the tray down on a table in front of GL. The tray contains a small selection of hot hors d'ouvres.*

Harrison: I'm here, sir. Would you like your usual?

GL: Yes, please. And could you put on some music. Something soothing.

*Harrison nods and walks over to the cabinet holding the stereo. He selects a CD and puts it on, then disappears into the kitchen. Beethoven quietly fills the room. A few minutes later, Harrison emerges from the kitchen with a pot of tea.*

::knocks at door::
It's me Garius

And me. Any in the pot?

*Gets up out of the couch with a little difficulty and walks over to the door. Opens it.*

Well, hello, you two! Nice to see you. Do come in. May I take your coats?

*Calls into kitchen.*

Make a big pot, Harrison, we have company.

Thanks , nice place you have here Garius I have a quarters now if you want to visit I haven't given a quite so good description so if you want you can give me a description that would suite a emperor
::sits down in a chair::
nice

*sits on a table*

*Harrison comes out of the kitchen carrying a silver tea service with antique bone china cups. He carefully pours a cup for each of the guests and one for GL. He pours a little milk in GL's and hands it to him. He adds milk, sugar or lemon to the guest's cups according to their preferences and hands them their cups.*

So, chief, any bobo news?

not much
::sips some tea::
oh the Bobo Fighting Grounds is in repair because it was too dangerous or something like that you know thoes BBC people
other then that not much
so how you doing

Is that what all that terrible noise is outside my office?

probably
::drinks the rest of the tea and sits his cup on the table::
thanks for the tea garius

You're welcome, chief.

You know, I was thinking: what this clan needs is a purpose. Something for us to do. Of course, you'd have to be a member of the clan to know what that purpose was, but I think we should have one. I haven't given it much thought yet, but perhaps we could brainstorm some ideas here. Do you two have any ideas?

um...I think I'll leave that up to you Garius but a suggestion could be that once you are a member you get to make "Bobo Spheres"
::forms a "Bobo Sphere" in one hand::
he he

I tried making some but it doesn't seem to come naturally to me

Perhaps we should have some kind of campaign?

Sure if you want I don't care

Okay, here's a thought.

There is already an organization of super heroes and one of super villians. What if the purpose of the Clan of the Bobo was...

Peacemaking! We jump into the middle of any altercations between STUMPED and CHOPPERS and threaten them with bobo spheres if they don't stop fighting. Then, of course, it will just become a battle with 3 proponents. Lots of room for righteous posturing and hypocritical bobo sphere throwing. Could be a laugh.

So, what do you two think?

Difficult for me as I am already affiliated...

Don't see why not though!

sounds fun

and one more issue since that bomb didn't harm me (I'll tell you about it later Sammy) you are still in the clan but I am very mad about you tring to kill me but oh well so you can still make "Bobo Spheres" and your controller still works ok

But you misunderstand, Chief. I never intended to harm you - the original detonation sequence would have started long after you had left the premises. It was KL who overloaded the droid's circuits and made it go into the default sequence. Glad to see you escaped unharmed, though.

In the immortal words of Maxwell Smart: Sorry about that, Chief.
