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

*The guests all make their way out onto Greebo's beautiful lawn where everything is set up for a game of croquet. The moon is bright and the air is warm.*
A wonderful end to the sophisticated dinner I feel. Does anyone know the rules? Drinks are laid out on the table over there.

*Walks over to the drinks table and starts mixing some cocktails*

Could you mix me something special that will look rather good when placed in my hat. Thank you.

This has truly been the longest evening of my life.

*pours something unusual that seperates into several different, mulit-coloured layers*

Would this be exceptable Ma'am?

*looks questioningly and EV*

Ooh thank you! It goes so well with my mottled blue scales don't you think. Can I have a little umbrella in it too, as this is a sophisticated 'do'.

*finds small paper umbrellas to decorate the hat with*

Here you are Ma'am.

Wonderful!
Now, how does one play croquet?
Who's ready for a game?

*Prepairs to act as Coelacanth's arm and legs for the game*

I say, Menza old fruit, may I have one of those strange multi-coloured things too?

*returns to the drinks table to make a rainbow cocktail*

Here you go Sir.

ouch, you just hit the fairy at the bottom of the garden...

and i know about the fairy at the bottom of the garden, because it was me you hit...

But we haven't started the game.

/me wanders in...looks about...sees strange hoops in the lawn and people with large hammers...

*scream*

/me runs away and hides down the bottom of the garden with some fairy folk who don't like large mallets either...

*thinks about alerting security about the funny people hiding at the bottom of tha garden *

there's no need to alert security, because my intentions are totally honourable. all i want to do is spread love and friendship.* waves her magic fairy wand and sprinkles fairy dust all over garden and guests*

...YAWN... *shakes feathers and breaks out of hibernation, big stretch* SQUAWK I had such a long sleep, trixiepix must be around, or I wouldn't have woken up...

~Greebo stalks outside... see's all the dust lying around...~

Menzaaaaaaaa.... this place is a state... clear it up at once...

oooops, sorry greebo, didn't mean to mess up your garden, just thought the dust looked pretty twinkling in the moonlight. I will clean it up if you like, very simple for a fairy like me *waves magic wand and dust dissapears*. There you go, all done
