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

Maybe it needs to be done in a certain order...

*the snakeheads in Lildrow's whip all snigger and point their tongues at the electrocuted ones*

I'm going to go see if I can find Thallias.

And as for me... [tries to rub the burnt spots, but fails, as Lentilla currently has no arms. Fortunately, Dreadful has thrown the key back on the imaging platform, so she's free to choose a different form.]

[A giant spider appears on the platform, with eight red glowing eyes, black fur, and huge mandibles. As it speaks, its mandibles clench and unclench.] Hmm... yuck. I don't think I'd like looking in the mirror in this form.

[The image blurs, and is replaced by a pretty good imitation of Charro, complete with maracas and a guitar.] Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi! No, that might get annoying pretty quick.

[Charro blurs into oblivion, and is replaced by a giant cream-filled Twinkie with legs.] Now we're talking... but I don't have any hands, and if somebody squeezes me my cream will squoosh out. (blood for cream... blood for cream...) I suppose I could always be Ms. Peanut. That's something - how come we see a Mr. Peanut, but never a Ms? Is Mr. Peanut a dedicated bachelor?

[The Twinkie zips into nothingness, and is replaced by a 6-foot tall female version of the Pink Panther, with a cargo belt around her waist and a pair of spiked-heel boots.] You never know when a pair of spiked heels will come in handy.

[Yar's afro is now toasty]

[Yar] [the F-word crossed out] Ow ...

I think you missed it when I said it the first time, so I'm going to mention it again: the items you have are the items that you won. However, everything and everyone reverted back to their original forms upon re-entry to VR.

*Leaves*

Wondering if Mr. Dreadful will notice that his lock is no longer the proper key and needs to be changed again....

Oops!


*Walks over to transmogrification thingy and changes the key to a platinum one. Tries the lock again.*

Reuse Krameshin's dramatic keycode-entering from before.

[Shouldn't that be, er, IC?]


Quiet, you.

*The key works, and that part of the lock is fixed. However, Yar's doesn't work, either because it wasn't IC at the time, or because he's not altered his code with the same alteration code as the key was altered with*

[Yar goes and puts in the transformation code thingy, then enters the keycode without reusing the same animation.]

*The code works. It's more because he didn't use the animation than because he changed it, but there's no way to know for sure*

[Lentilla comes in to change her form to the Pink Pantherette again. Properly outfitted, she notices activity around the lock.] So, is like the door open now, or what? [Jiggles door handle]

We're waiting for GDZ to come along with his swipe card. Would you like a jelly baby?

[Yar] How about a gummi Venus de Milo?

[The Bit from Tron flies in and says to the machine in binary (of course) that it would like to become an H2G2 smiley. The machine transforms it into a ]

[Bit] [becoming a ] YES [changes back, then becomes a ] NO [changes back]

While ya'll are messing around with the door handle (jiggleitallitleit'llopen) I think I'll play... [Lentilla steps up to the imaging platform, and transforms herself into a giant pink spider with pink eyes.] Cool... I think I'll go play on the web. [Exeunt, stage right.]

They go, stage right?
