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

*Aims his gun directly in front of him / behind the gnu, that is, directly at Butch.*

You'se just where I's want yer!

*keeps down in the dust, head covered*

*Slowly gains on the galloping group so that there is now a few seconds after he rounds the corner of the house when the group is still in sight before it rounds the next corner. Butch sees Hardjello aiming his gun.*

Ha! You'll never hit me at that range with that little pea shooter! Prepare to meet your maker, "Preacher"!

*Butch takes careful aim with is rifle and fires. The bullet misses Hardhello, but takes the point off of one of the bulls horns.*

Huh. Got the bull's horn. I'll get the bullseye next time. Har har har.

*Fires again at Hardjello.*

*Jumps as the tip of one horn disolves in front of his eyes. Looks back and sees Zello's horse following without Zello. Carefully stands on the back of the bull and turns around to face Zello's horse. Judges his moment carefully, then jumps up in the air towards the horse, does a somersault and lands in the saddle. Grins proudly, then realizes he is facing backwards and the grin fades slightly.*

Darn! Should have done a backflip, facing forwards.

*Squirms around in the saddle until he is facing forwards again.*

*from the barn <./>F91033?thread=186495&post=2263368#p2263368</.>*

Well done, GL!

*Sits down with her back to the ranch house wall for support and to get a fine view of the action.*

That's comfy. I've a feeling we're going to be here a while.

I'll bet Garius took ballet lessons as a kid! I don't want to shoot at the jellos while GL is still part of the pack. If he manages to break away, we can try to pick off the others.

[X] Looks like fun ... glad I'm not part of it!

*lifts head up*

Keeping each other busy are they?

*runmmages in pockets*

Anyone like a Custard Cream bicsuit?

*Grins and waves at Titania. As he disappears out of sight around a corner of the ranchhouse, he can be seen pulling his feet from the stirrups. When he reappears around another corner, he is standing on his head on the saddle and looking over at the barn for approval.*

Whilst they are busy entertaining each other, perhaps we should see if we can find Lil.

*applauds can be heard from the barn*

*puts frying pan and crossbow into a pocket*

In which direction should we start looking do you think?

*Looks around.*

Well, we came here from that direction. *points*

There are canyon walls there and there. *points again*

That pretty much leaves that way. *points*

I'd like to have Amy's opinion since since gets to see the aerial view. Has anyone seen her lately? *worried*

I'm with you Witty. There is only one direction to go.

Lets leave that lot to their circus tricks and follow the path through the canyon.

Well... okay.

But wait until they go around one more time. I have to admit that I'm enjoying this.

/* Zeppo comes from the direction of the bunkhouse, barking at another gnu that seems absolutely terrified and has decided to join it's brother in running around the house. */


I think the order of things now is Bull - Horse (with GL doing a handstand) - Gnu (with Hardjello) - Horse (with Butch) - Gnu - Zeppo

Correct me if I'm wrong.

*flying slowly towards the Ranchhouse from the paddock* is amazed at the circus that presents itself*

*flies higher for safety and to get a better view*

*distracted by movement in the sky*

Oh, look! There's Amy!

*waves*

*spots Witty sitting with her back against the Ranchhouse wall* waves* begins a circumspect descent*

[X] Hang on, Zero's sending me a transmission ... "Caves." D'oh.
