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

I think I'll need all four crumbs .

*takes a biscuit from Caer*

[]

*Looking through the hole into his former cell.*

Ohhhhhh! That's gotta hurt! Mr. Zero has one of the guards incapacitated. Another one is firing at him and the third is still on the bed.

Oh, lemme see!

*Jostles with Herb at the hole. Stubs toe on something metallic.*

Hey! What's this?

*Holds up the iron mask that Herb had been forced to wear.*

That's the mask that I had to wear.



Here, let me have it.

*Takes the iron mask from GL, reaches through the hole and throws it at the guard on the bed.*

Bullseye! Woo hooooo!

Two down, one to go.

Amy and Styx! What a considerable posse this is! I'm honoured, you know.

*is close enough to hear a clang followed by a triumphant whoop from GL*

*Amy looks alarmed*

What made that clanging noise? Who is that with GL?

*feeling uncomfortable turning her back on all the ongoing noise*

*turns around to find out what's going on*

*discovers she's feeling even more uncomfortable turning her back on what could possibly be someone lurking in the darkness*

*turns back*

*grinds teeth, trying to ignore the noise behind her*

*Tontello is on his hands and knees, peering around the corner.*

Lone Jello: What do you see?

Tontello (whispering): Shhhhh! They'll hear you!

Lone Jello (whispering): What do you see?

Tontello (whispering): All posse there! Animals, too! And...and...

Lone Jello (whispering): And what?

Tontello (whispering): No. Can't be.

Lone Jello: What?!?

Tontello: Shhhhhh! It'm *lowers voice* It'm look like the boss. With the posse.

Lone Jello (whispering): Let me see.

*Tontello's head disappears and Lone Jello's appears.*

Lone Jello (whispering): I...I think it IS the boss. What is HE doing with the posse? Has he brought them over to our side now?

*rummages around in pockets and finds doggybix and jammy dodgers*

*gives each dog a doggybix, Zeppo gets two being so much bigger*


Anyone want a jammy dodger?

/* Zeppo stops barking to eat his jammy dodgers */

Good thinking, Caer. What's a jammy dodger?

Titania, what are you looking at back there?

I didn't say no such thing!

*Tosses Carmel on the red wagon*

Yer ain't no good fer stoppin' noise, yer keep blabberin' all the time.

Sorry, Reverend. It was just me practicing ventriliquism. Watch this, now I'll make Zeppo say something:

: Woof!

My first mistake!

*Now that Blue Bear is back and the team has a competent dog wrangler it takes next to no time to get the pugs into position and harnessed.*

Carmel I'll have to hook them directly to the little red wagon's frame. Dear me, that might make the steering a teensy bit wonky, but what can you do?

*the pugs enjoy Caer's gifts, though they had actually planned to shut up just then. Clearly they had already given the Nothings plenty to think about, besides they had a touching reunion to get on with (and there was much sniffing and snuffling all about)*

Carmel I guess we're ready to roll. Is Mister Reverend Instantjello still coming with us?

[Zero] [calling down after the mask was thrown] Thanks!

*red eyes glowing behind webjellos*
*after dismounting ant lady, styx running through little side caves and flanking cowboy and indian*
heh heh heh
*bites tontello in ankle then retreats into nearby crack*

Jammy Dogers! My favourite!

There may not be time to brew but there is always time for a biscuit or two when on the move

*To AMCJ* Perhaps you could modify the other trouser leg and create a pair of Bermuda shorts. If you pull your socks up as high as they will go that should just about cover everything. I am a bit woried about the amount of noise we are making, but hopefully we can move quickly and still surprise the cad.
