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

Kiddo: Like RL!? Oh no!
There seems to be plenty of good hunters around here, maybe I should try something else.

I think I'm going fishing again anyway. This is a beautiful island.

Kiddo:Ok. I would go into the forest but there's no forest thread.

Maybe we should apply to make... one...
*A thought has hit Tweetie, hard*
I have just had a lightbulb.
Easy way to hunt birds- use of of them as bait.
*Tweet suddenly vanishes and her Tweetie bird body appears instead*
*grins*
This could be useful...

* Most the the trees around the Island are covered with a canopy of thick, rope-like vines... *

* Only after Kiddo's persistence is any headway made into delving in the forest region, although the going is extremely difficult... *

Kiddo: Hmmm, is that a reference to a posting of mine in another thread? Oh well...

* M.K saunters into the realm of the sacred trees and begins to hammer a notice into the studiest pine... *

* The Marshalls & Production Staff may be otherwise detained during the weekend... *

* So don't come crying to us if you desperately need an antedote for snake bites... *

* We would also like to state that the nightime falls exceedingly fast on this Island. It apparently has something to do with longitude & latitude of the place. Needless to say, you will be kept informed if anything untoward happens at night... *

* M.K puts a small parchment into the posts boxes for the tribes holding a small hankerchief to his face, because the mornings Sun has released grand plumes of spores into the atmosphere... *

* It reads... *

This weeks Immunity Challenge will be a trek around your subconscious...
You must seek the answers from within...
The idols you seek will be far off & hidden...
Now it is time to begin...

Hidden in a place well mad
Where many a loonie seeks
To have the craziest time you'll ever had
You had better seek out the ________.

If you want to bear a Cheshire Grin
You had better seek out the dweller
Who can be found amongst the ports & gins
Residing in the __________.

There once was a girl so well & proud
No girl was ever completer
She went on to be coarse & loud
That's why they made her Editor, the humble ___________.

She is a girl who brings us the Post
The best tease the community has
And if you think this is an' Idol' boast
You had better speak to ____________.

* There are five Idols, the other one was revealed in a dream to someone... *

* You must find at least three & post at the thread that you found them. Thenyou must return here and post that your tribe has found three... *

M.K*

Greetings, esteemed MK. On behalf of the Yapong tribe, I claim our immunity. I have found three of the idols. They are the ones specified in verses 3, 4 and 5 of your challenge. I have posted at the home pages for 4 and 5 , and have ventured to one of my usual haunts (witnessed by Fashion Cat) into subterranean depths for the posting for verse 3.
*Holds silken scarf over face and goes back to camp*

You still have to post to 'pick-up' the Idols and bring them here !!!

M.K*

Sorry - I'm obviously being tech-illiterate. I've posted at the three locations. How do i pick those up and bring them here?

You need to find the thread I left the Idols !!!

M.K*

I have claimed three of the idols, and am looking for the other two as we speak.

Four down, one to go

We have a winner !!!

...and just to save Kes from any embarrassment it is someone else from the Yapong Tribe !!!

* M.K hands some bloke a bottle of champagne... *

I'm sure this will go down well...

M.K*

Hey, I just found the fifth. Cool.

My thanks to some bloke who also invented fish traps that I thought were beach ornaments.
One day, someone will explain this tech stuff to me. Right now I think I'll read a couple of pages from my stamp album for comfort.

*lays Kes down in the circle of torches.*
*Kes' torch gutters painfully low*
*eats cleans off the drool of red liquid from Kes' cheek and crosses his hands over his chest*

Now for some charcoal

*Kes lies in the circle. Strange Pictish symbols adorn his face*

*his shirt lies open, more symbols on his stomach will show the spirits where to do their work*

We're a long way from Scotland, sunshine, but its worth a try.

*sits crosslegged at Kes' feet and starts a low moaning chant*

*Silence*

*eatsmice sits head bowed at the feet of young Kes, his chant complete*

*A dust devil dances across the circle, spinning, coalescing into something more substantial*

*A wind gets up, flaring all the torches at once.
The spinning dust cloud fills with ancient tattooed faces which stare at the quiet eats
and then turn as one to look at the young man lying below*

*Kes' body shudders, a moan escapes his mouth and his bac2*k arches.
*He gurgles, the faces above him scream out their chant of life*

*from Kes' mouth a stream of red liquid bursts forth, disppearing upwards into the dim sky*
*It's followed by a green bile, the rotten fish that had poisoned his system*
*Kes' body shudders once more and collapses back onto the dirt floor*
