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

They're all underwater - or perhaps under-drool would be more accurate. I myself think I will avoid the mess altogether by climbing this tall bookshelf here...

*begins to climb - by the time her feet have reached the third shelf, her feet are out of reach of the goop, but then...the bookshelf slowly begins to topple over forward*

HEEELLP! And look out!

*scrambles desperately over last three shelves as books fall around her and the bookshelf continues to list...hoists herself to the backside as it finally falls with a dramatic splash*

Well, at least I've got a sort of raft now...I wouldn't make any assumptions about its carrying capacity, though...
silversolstice

*splashes over to book shelf*

Do you mind if I sit up there too, I think there is something swimming arround down here. Its got fins.

~~~~ DREAM SEQUENCE ~~~~

Greebo is swimming underwater... to deafening Bond type music... she suddenly notices 2 sinister scuba gear clad people holding what looks like harpoon guns....

Greebo swims towards a wreck she suddenly spies... the music changes...

'Down where it's better, down where it's wetter... Under The Seaaaa...' A lobster is singing at the top of his voice...

Greebo shouts for help... and 42 dancing merpeople appear from a giant underwater cake...

~~~~ DREAM SEQUENCE ENDS ~~~~

~Greebo moans in her sleep!!!~

*Gwennie spies Greebo & Nonnie's air bed on the surface and swims towards it... grabs pillow and pulls the bed and sleeping Greebo to the book case/raft and surfaces*

Hang on to this for a minute chaps! I've noticed a cat flap leading to another forum at the bottom of that door over there... If I can just open it, we may be able to drain some of this gloop into the next forum before the drool reaches ceiling level.

*Dives back into the drool to look for the cat flap*

It would help is greebs stopped dreaming about food.

Mikonet gazes sightlessly up through the goo. His table dissolved minutes before, and lacking scuba gear, he sunk like a stone. His fingers twitch slightly as bubbles slowly leak from his nose and mouth.....

*slaps forehead*

*dives down to Mikonet and drags him to the surface*

*Meanwhile Gwennie struggles with the cat flap which is seized up through lack of use - being as how our Greebo "pops" in and out anyhow...*

*Surfaces* Anyone got an axe or something I can force this cat flap open with??????

I've got a Butcher Knife. Will that help???

*Gwennie wonders why Jinx has a butcher's knife and dismisses images of slaughter and madness with a shake of her head...*

Good one! Let's see what this can do.... Who's coming with me? *Looks around, hopefully....*

*indicates Mikonet*

I'm... um.. going to take him over to the raft... Sorry. 'Course I'd *love* to help, but.... Bye!

*starts swimming towards raft very very fast, dragging Mikonet behind her*

~~~~ FURTHER DREAM SEQUENCE ~~~~

Greebo swims quickly away from the Merperson dancers... and she and Nonnie wash up on a deserted Island... 'Why Nonnie'.. says Greebo... 'It appears we have come ashore on the famous... dare me say infamous... Doughnut Island' Greebo grins down at her companion... 'Come lets find out where that evil pirate Captain Catnip buried his treasure... me thinks x marks the spot...'

Greebo and Nonnie wander up the sand and into the Doughnut Tree's... you know the ones that give the Island its name... Greebo picks a doughnut that has just ripened... 'Hmmm... me could get to like it here Nonnie... my good and dear chum'

~~~~ Dream SEquence Ends ~~~~

~Greebo grins in her sleep... drool intensity increases...~

Hurry up, the roof is getting closer.

I will help you, Gwennie! Let me help poor Mikonet onto the bookcase first, though *grabs hold of his arms and hoists him onboard - literally on board - while Jinx helps push from the drool pool end, then she helps Jinx up*

Steady the raft, guys, when I get off there'll be a bit of a joggle - there may be a small wave effect, too, if the bookcase moves about too much, so be wary...
*looks with dismay at the drool-glop-lake, takes breath, plunges in*

*bookcase rocks wildly*

SPLASH

*Menza disappears into the pool*

*Gwennie & Silversoltice together heroicaly gouge and wrestle the disused cat flap until, at last it opens and, if it wasn't for Gwennie's large(ish) frame, would've been sucked through into the next forum... However, our heroes surface huffing and panting to watch the drool slowly diminish...*

Hurrah! It may take a while to drain out (wonder where it's all going?) but may I suggest that someone gathers courage to wake our drooling Greebo up?

*Studies titanium tipped claws*

Err - anyone got a barge pole?

Once again, I shall valiantly, heroically, and selflessly volunteer for the good of all!

Actually, it's because I have a cat at home who claws to show affection (imagine what she does if she's annoyed with you?) so I'm rather used to being clawed...not with titanium, admittedly, but...errmmm...*thinks*

You know what, I think I may just go up under the raft thingy, give a good solid heave, and be innocently on the other side of the room when Greebo surfaces. Do you think she'll wake up when she hits the water? All in favor say aye.

Any assistance would, of course, be greatly appreciated

~~~~ DREAM SEQUENCE ~~~~

Greebo grabs abother ripe doughnut from the doughnut tree's... 'Want one Nonnie??? .... NONNIE!!!!' ... Greebo realises that Nonnie is no longer with her... She appears to of been Mousenapped... ~GASP!!!!~.... Greebo frowns... and comes to the conclusions that she is not alone on Doughnut Island... there are evil doers here... up to mischief.... Greebo flexes her titanium tipped claws... ready to do battle with the first evil doers she runs foul of!!!

~~~~ DREAM SEQUENCE ENDS ~~~~

~Greebo mutters in her sleep again... and her very sharp... and very...very... long titanium tipped falsies slide out of the sheaths....~

Suddenly, a large explosion of two grenades which suddenly appear, comes from the other side of the room - tipping the air bed and it's passengers up. The whole room, although now free of drool is covered in the gloopy substance which is dripping of everyone and everything...

*Gwennie offers everyone towels* Sorry about that folks. It's all my fault - Greebo dropped them in here from another forum as I'd accidentally removed the pins...
