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

Not far from the Great Outdoor Bar, in the forest, on the left bank of a small river, is a cliff. In the cliff, a few meters above the water level, is a hidden entrance to a cave...a cave older than history itself... a cave deeper than imagination..

Rumour is that the cave was discovered by Hati.. or by Hapi.. or both.. Since the location is not that far from the bar this is possible. Since both Hati and Hapi appear to spend most of their time in the bar, and not outside, the rumour may also be false... who knows, who cares..

In the cave, darkness.. only with torches (from the outdoor supply store) is it possible to see the walls of the cave.. there.. on the walls, hidden from daylight, hidden from all researchers, are wondrous works of prehistoric art...

When looking closely at the walls a message appears, carved in universal pictogram language:



Could it be that Hapi's ancestors dwelled here? What other ancient wisdom is hidden in this cave?

* rushes in*


Er... It's a bit dark here...
Maybe a is hiding here. I should come back with some company.

*careful use of tools can be heard at the entrance*

So there - the last of the signs leading here from the square ( F95740?thread=200565 )...

Back to serve bubbly!

* Footsteps.. something huge coming along the path .. is it a bear? neanderthaler? *

* Oh.. no.. it's Hapi.. well .. none of the first guesses was really wrong *

Now you don't have to remember where the cave is anymore... when you've had too much - errrr - over at TGOB

*loaded with an overdose staggers Hapi into the cave*

Haaaaaavvve another one

- - -

Oh, there's an echo

or a from one of the original inhabitants who did not make it to the 21st century : lack of
( )

But with lack of - - why would anybody ...??????

poor soul must have gone mad ..

* stumbles in and finds a secret cave way back at the end of the known cave. walks in, lights a huge fire, covers the floor with numerous polar bear skins and cracks open af bottle of , then waits for the lost woman*

fervently following the pirate's trail, following the faint scent of the woodfire, i spy the entrance to the cave. Instead of dank and scary, it's romantic and warm. Entering, i find a and the soft skins of polar bears....

hi there

i wonder how much privacy we can find here, as opposed to in the bar?

do you think it would matter much if we hung a 'do not disturb'-sign at the entrance to this cave?

think about it and make yourself comfortable while i go hunt something to eat

*returns with a boar, a keg of and a leaf of lettuce (for the lady) - only to find the cave deserted*

*rekindles the fire, roasts the boar, eats, drinks, covers himself with polar bear skins and *

sees the sleeping..snuggles up under the polar bear skin...

*wakes up and bursts into song*

i've got you, under my skin

I can't bear to spend a minute apart.

either way you'll just have to grin and bear it

oh my.... i dont know how much more i can take. Tosses a small stick on the fire, then snuggles back under the bear skin. It's a lovely place you've got here.

thanks, i kinda like it. warm and dry. nice company

what more could anyone ask for?

er, you're not married, are you?
