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

I only said a certain commonality.....maybe wherever they come from, that sort of thing is perfectly normal...*shudders*

Let's just take the big door - I don't really feel like exploring this room any further...

I know what you mean....besides those big doors look impressive - is that solid mahogany?

If it isn't it at least looks very much like it...

*tries to open the door but notices that there's no handle of any kind*

Now what?

Well, unless you feel like dancing.....

*rolls eyes*

You think this is a place for dancing?
There must be some way to open the door...

*examines the mahogany decorations*

Well, with the background music and all......stop doing that, they'll fall out of your head

Maybe we should knock - you know, just for the novelty value.

*knocks on the door*

*The doors swing majestically open, accompanied by a short fanfare. As more of the interior is revealed, they see that there is no-one opening the doors, it happened automatically. Glancing at each other, they step through onto the plush orange carpet, which stretches for some distance ahead of them.*

Curioser and curioser...

*as they've stepped inside the doors slam tightly shut again*

Hmmm.....I guess that means the only way is forward, huh? Well, forward we go then!

*walks forward*

*As they walk forward a dull throbing can be heard....well, felt, actually, thrumming up through their feet and out via their ears. Drawing ever forward, they begin to discern in the distance a slight precipitation, sluicing gently towards the floor.*
Talk about odd....and another thing - did the building look this big to you when we first saw it?

Well it looked enormous... But still... I don't think it was this big...

Reality does seem somewhat askew in here......*they approach the rain patch*

Where does that rain come from?? I can't help thinking there must be some kind of a gap between dimensions here...

I don't know...it just sort of appears out of nowhere...let's do through it, it doesn't seem very wide...*steps into the rain.*

*hesitates but since nothing terrible seems to happen to him, follows*

*Lets the rain fall over him for a while, eyes closed.*
Wonderful!
*Steps out the other side, shaking his head quickly*

Hey! Not on me!
*collects some water into her hands and throws it at him*
