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

*Kraal looks, but cannot see what it got her*

[Kraal] Umm... do you mean those clothes?

No... I mean being stuck on an island while the only one I've ever loved and who has ever loved me has forgotten about me for the favor of some elf hussy!

*Slides to a sitting position against the wall of the cave.*

*Kraal looks at Bob*

[Kraal] Your doing?

No! well, not entirely. Can we move on to a different topic, like how are we going to fix what's going on here?

Well, how should you fix it?

I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt Duck Tape and string'll do it

*Kraal looks slightly puzzled by this statement*

[Kraal] Duck what?

Oh sorry, wrong existance, forget it

*Shairi looks up.*

I don't see why you can't just eliminate this elder- he seems to be the root of all the problems.

he might be, or the humans that came here may be the problem. Either way, how would you like it if your god sudenly turned up and decided to depose your ruler? Actually it's different for humans, the Shadow elves choose their leader, so it would be like me coming along and saying that they chose the wrong guy. It would make a mockery of their whole system

Well... you don't really /have/ to be involved when the leader mysteriously dies...

But what if he's not responsible. Would you want Cal punished if it turned out that Lilandra was controling him in some way?

*Goes quiet again, and looks concerned.*

Controlling him?

well, she /is/ an elf after all, and he is a mere human

Well, how would we tell if something was controlling him? How do you know it's not just the real being shining through?

Elvan manipulation relies on proximity. he would need to be close to her for it to have an effect

*Thinks for a minute, then shakes her head.*

Too late now- they're long gone! Maybe someday... </>

What about your guy? What's enchanting him?

I don't know, I don't know if he is encharnted. I was merely making a sugestion of what might be

Perhaps we should find out...

*Shairi stands.*

"Bob," will you accompany me to the villages? I think it's time to do some reconnaisance.

Ok. Kraal, you join our peoples and tell those you trust that I'm back, but I'd rather the Dark Elves, as they call them selves, didn't find out

[Kraal] I will be discreet

*Kraal stands and scoops up some of the water from the stone bowl, mutters something under his breath, drinks it and walks towards the crack in the back of the cave. When he gets there it seems as if he were a two dimentional image, turned on it's side and he walks through the crack. As he dissapears Bob shouts after him*

Oh and when you get some clothes I want my cloak back...

*Bob thinks for a moment*

Oh and wash it first

*Bob turns to Shairi*

After you

*Nods curtly, making a mental note to get some of that water and the reversal before she left the island- sneaking around would be that much easier. She leads the way out of the cave, and finds a trail to the fishing village.*

*Bob follows her, watching her intently*

*The Captain is lain in the dark and cold of the cave staring at the ceiling having been rescued from the depths of the sea <> *

*he stirs and looks at the cave towards the rest of the island. Then blinks and stares back at the ceiling with a blank expression*
