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

*passing by, notices the place looks rather deserted. sweeps the walk-way and the front porch. entering, gives the place a good general tidy and dusting, being sure to not displace anything. finds a familiar coffee mug in the process and places it next to the stove.*

*leaves again until a day the lady might be in.*

*Walks in and notices a change*

What happened?! Oh, it's been tidied, hasn't it? Wow, I never knew I had that much room...

*Proceeds to take off her bag, scarf, jacket and shoes and throw them on the floor*

*taps lightly at the door*

Excuse, good Lady. Might you have a good, strong for a winter-weary ollllllld man?

Oh, hello! Come on in, door's open!

*Puts the macchinetta on the stove for some *

*discards boots at the door and flops in the rather "well-worn" recliner, at hand on a stack of indescribeable publications*

So, ma'am, ... how's your world doing? Looking brighter and a tad more hopeful, recent elections being what they are?

I just posted about that actually... yeah, things do seem to be changing a bit.

Sorry, but it's almost 2am here - I think I should be off to sleep now. Help yourself to that coffee, eh?

*tosses a well-aged and seasoned duvet to the sofa*

I'll enjoy the , quietly. You catch a bit of and let the world take care of itself for a few hours. I'll cross a few fingers, toes and for you in the interim.

and G'night, my friend.

Good night!

And a day or more later, it's time for me to also say "good night".

I'll come visiting another time when we both have a bit more time. s, Lady Hostess.

*slips out and returns to RL*

See you later then!

*echo's from the beaches*

Youuuuu shallllll. Or jooooiiinnn mmeeee ?????

I might... maybe later when it's not so rainy out, eh?

TTTWWWWAAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGGG !!!!!

*a message, attached to an arrow, arrives in the frame of the door. reading "Bring your flannel long-underwear !!! It's coooolllllddddd"*

Arrows? Bloody dangerous things - could put someone's eye out I swear.

*Puts the macchinetta back on the stove, hoping that the smell of freshly-brewed will lure the far-off traveler back in (without her having to venture out)*

*on the flip side of the note ..... "Can't visit much for another week or so, .... comm lines tooooooooooo slow"*

*Drinks alone*

*stopping by, clears a few cob-webs from the porch and doorway*

*leaves a tin of really fresh ground coffee beside the door*

*Wakes up*

Hey, hi!

*ahem* That really WAS a long nap, eh? But now that you're awake, can I nap-out for a bit? It's been a lonnnnnnnng day already.

Hm? No, I only got here a while ago...

Go ahead - the sofa's all yours.
