No, you're not everybody, and I'm not about to broadcast this very neat trick over the whole of h2g2 now am I...
*starts to whisper in Hannah's ear*
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall

(Peet observes one of the monkeys in the ducts lip-reading intently...)
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 8, 2000
Wow, this trick is great.
*tries, but unfortunately the drink doesn't appear in her hand, but over Peet's head*
I'm so sorry!!!!
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall

(Peet licks his face in a vaguely disconcerting manner, while idly wondering where the monkeys got all those Banana Daquiris from...)
That's OK - it could have been worse... It could have been in a glass!
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 8, 2000
I think I'll better try while being alone somewhere.
Is it a good drink, at least?
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Peet (the Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, Muse of Lateral Programming Ideas, Eggcups-Spurtle-and-Spoonswinner, BBC Cheese Namer & Zaphodista) Posted May 9, 2000
It's all right, if you happen to like tea and vodka...
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 9, 2000
Why not?
I can try something else if you want me to?!
Next try:
*and the drink appears in...her hand!!!!!!It is not exactly the drink she wanted, but anyway...*
So, if I manage to let the right drink appear, everything's alright.
*incredibly proud*

*walks in from the labs*
Hey Hannah, or E for that matter, can I get a drink too? The discussion in the lab is making me thirsty
congrads to hannah for her new skill, Hm... where'd all of the Bananas go?

Chris Tonks Posted May 9, 2000
*clicks his toes, andf a sandwich appears*
Neat!
Okey, maybe I won't reactivate the supernatural force repellant!
Sorry, I haven't been here in abit 'cus I've been called away for governmental business.
Oh, welcome to your new job Hannah! Hope you like working here!
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 9, 2000
I love my job, ecpecially that clicking fingers thing. Altough that toeclicking is pretty neat, too.
Can I get anyone anything to drink?
*clicks herself a drink*
Hmmm...
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Peet (the Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, Muse of Lateral Programming Ideas, Eggcups-Spurtle-and-Spoonswinner, BBC Cheese Namer & Zaphodista) Posted May 11, 2000
(Peet notices all the monkeys breaking into a spate of finger-snapping, looking rather like hairy groupies at a Dean Martin concert, and starts to edge towards the door as a tsunami of banana daquiri rushes in from the other side of the hall...)
Well, it's been nice chatting to you....but I've got...(starts running)..to get back to...(voice fades in the distance...)
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 11, 2000
*clicks herself another drink, because a monkey stole the first one. Sits down at a pink chair and watches the monkeys and humans. And a few people, who don't seem to belong to monkeys or humans.*
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Chris Tonks Posted May 11, 2000
*just watches, whilst idly working out the answer to the square root of -1*
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Engels42 (Thingite Minister of Leaky Ethics and Spiffyness) Posted May 12, 2000
*walks in*
Oh, funny looking i,
and if you don't like imaginary numbers, have a lot of fun, maybe the people in the lab can help, wait, there *are* no people, just crazy monkeys and the occasional passer by.
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Eomando (it is it is it is 2 years now!!! 8-) ) Posted May 12, 2000
*rushes round the Hall trying to take care of all the things she's supposed to take care os, very very thankful that Hannah's helping her, then leaves a note on top of Engels' notepad, certain that everyone but him will find it whilst hoping someone else will tell him...*
Sorry everyone...I've been a little...erm...busy...OK...that & the fact that h2g2's being *really* slow...
I'll try & be around though...
Hannah! Glad you got the clicking you fingers ting down!
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Hannah (Adrasteia, not fully human yet, but almost) Posted May 12, 2000
glad you're back, being the only finger clicking person is a lot of responsibility, almost too much for me!
Ahhh...food...The Great Hall
Eomando (it is it is it is 2 years now!!! 8-) ) Posted May 12, 2000
I'm *very* sorry I left you by yourself...I really didn't mean too...
Can I click you a drink for a change?
*makes a mental note to un-teach the monkeys the finger-licking thing *
