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

No real reason for this, it's just easier to post with a forum open.

A group of the teasers come in to the bar and begin hassling the robotic bartender. Two small lasers pop up from behind the bar, stunning them. They were escorted to their crafts and expelled.

*Venom walks in from the turbolift, whence he came from a short bargaining session in the Complex, sits down, orders a PGGB and expounds last year's trouble to the robotic bartender in general solitude.* Damn this station is empty. I need to advertise.

*Venom gets up and walks out, while a few teasers walk in and start heckeling the robotic bartender again. After wasting three gallons of imported beer and 1 of wine, Venom notices them in his office and turns on the lasers.* Oy I really need a guard

*Fred orders a and goe's to sit in the corner.*

Nice bar. It's a bit quiet though.

*Venom orders a martini and turns around to face Fred* Boring Uname you got . Actually most of the drinking goes on in the Lounge upstairs around here, and the Cantina still has great drinks and a large group of regulars...

Hi, I've already been to the Cantina but I haven't gone to the lounge yet.
Fred's not my real name, I very rarely use my real name on the internet.

Well, then pull up a stool and have a on the house. I kinda like the quiet, although it is a bit disturbed when a battlecruiser thunders by. Sorry didn't notice u

Thanks Venom, yes it's nice and quiet in here. This bar is part of the Pub Crawl isn't it? That should be interesting.

I just applied for it.

From what I remember this bar gets 'invaded' at 7 AM, that's either very early, or very, very late. Good thing thta its automated.

For station time that's 2300, so I'll have to have a Sbitster or two just to keep me awake.

Yes, 2300 isn't really that late. It'll be nice to have a few more people around here. Are you going on the pub crawl yourself?

Sadly, no. I won't be able to make it due to my sub-eta 'net connection (1 phone line+dial-up) However I will be getting a permanent connection hardwired on the 10th so I wont miss the next one.

That is a pity. Hopefully they will run another one soon then.

*starts setting up an hors-d'ouveres table and warming up the beer pumps, in anticipation of the crawlers. Also tidys up around the bar, knowing he wont be able to afterwards.* Now here's an idea. *makes up a banner and hangs it. It reads: LAST STOP ON THE PUB CRAWL, APRIL 2002* *After some work, he sits down for a few 's*

Hello! Have I missed the Crawl? I hope not...

Orders a

*walks in,looking very sick.* Hi Bovine Beast, welcome to the Starpilot Hotel, its a nice place. Its worth a lot round I will not join you for a drink though alcohol bring pain, terrible pain

That was quite an invasion... *gives poor old Fred a shot of Sober-All from the industrial-sized bucket he was keeping around*

Thanks for that Venom, that stuff is really usefull, you should market it after the next pub crawl, whenever that will be. I think the pub crawl ended in one of the Sense of Place pubs. According to Batty next time this pub will be nearer the top[ of the list. So hopefully it will get more visitors.
