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

*Lil opens the door to the linen closet. This, Chloe's personal space, is a large walk-in closet, where one finds towels, linens, extra pillows and blankets, and a small desk where Chloe keeps inventory and paints. There is a sort of refrigerator type light that comes on as soon as you open the door, but for some reason the bulb is broken*

*Leaving the door ajar, Lil gropes her way toward the light on Chloe's desk*

Chloe?


Ow! Oh crik--

*Follows Lil, quietly.*


Dancer

*glances in the door* Hello? Spooky... *follows Dancer and Lil*

G7

*Turns around* shhhh *Turns back*


Dancer

*Lil's voice is heard, distorted and strangely distant*

Titania! Titania?

*hurries to catch up with Lil* Any ideas where she could be in here? Its rather like the Tardis, isn't it? Finite on the outside, infinite on the inside... *looks around her*

G7

*Dancer is now following Gw7en*


Dancer

*Affy steps inside*

I thought that I'd come along. I mean, how could I resist this kind of mission? Oh, and Lil, I thought that this might be useful.

*Pulls out a book marked "Our Wormholes"*

I don't know who stocked your library Lil, but they planned ahead fairly well. This details most of the unusual effects that we can expect to experience from ill-use of the wormhole. Granted, I doubt we'll need it, but this should work out well.

/* Bumps into Affy */
Good book, but how are we going to read it without a light?

I've tied a rope around my waist, and the other end to Marv's ankle, so we can always find our way out of the linen closet if we need. Or at least we can always find our way to Marv.

*bumps into d'E*

It's ok, I brought a torch!!

*click*

*click*



I forgot about the batteries...

*There is a sound like a long extended coil of wire being tapped, a distorted boinging, within which Lil's voice is barely discernible*

Titania?

*meanwhile, quite nearby, a green glowing shape moves out from some recess*

*tags along, sure of some excitement*

*vague voice from far, far away*

Hallooo? Is that you, Lil? I can't see a thing... oh - I know...

*pulls out her elf emerald, glowing faintly, visible to the others as a distant, tiny dot of light*

*Sticks head in cupboard* Ooo a queue. *Joins in a like manner* Its a bit dark rightly. Just a mo' *Pulls out keys with blue LED torch on, and proceeds to wave the blue light around in such a way that no one can see anything, other than a blue afterimage*

*follows the others, not wanting to miss any fun*

What quest are we on? I am always up for a quest.

*rummages around various knick knack pockets and finds an slim pen light that was a freebie from a medical rep, many years ago*

Oh good, the batteries still work.

*edges forward, gingerly*

*entering the linen closet just in time to seen the back of Caerwynn disappear in the murk*
*Finds a little flashlight in her handbag, alas, without batteries...*
Wait for me!

*waits for Bumblebee to catch up*

I am not sure what is going on, but I expect we shall find out soon!

Thanks Caerwynn Is it just me or is it a bit stuffy in here? Feels like there's a low drumming against my ears..
Keep the light steady! Can't see a thing in here...

*Waves blue torch fitfully around* Hellooooo. Is anyone there? Oh look, a stalactite in the shape of Gene Roddenberry

Can't see much else though.

*shines torch along a path between shelves of freshly washed laundry*

Mmmmmmmm love that smell of clean linen.
