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

*I take Falstaff into a dark closet within my Personal Space.*

*He tries to wriggle free, but I grasp him by the nape of his neck*

*I pet the cat a moment, then set him on the ground along with a few cat treats.*

*I coat a single cat treat in the goo I took from the S.S. Redbeard. I am careful to make sure it is a very light dose.*

*I drop the cat treat on the floor, and Falstaff scarfs it up.*

*Falstaff's coat turns darker and less shiny. The light leaves his eyes, and he seems far less personable for a moment.*

Hmm...

*Falstaff makes tiny cat choking noises for a moment.*

*I look at him with concerned eyes.*

*Falstaff's eyes roll into the back of his head, and he suddenly falls to his side.*

This post has been removed.

*After another tense moment, I realize that Falstaff is dazed. But his coat is slowly lightening up again. It's amazing.*

*I wonder what would have happened if I had administered a larger doze, but shudder at the thought.*

*Understanding that I don't have much time, I scoop Falstaff back into my arms.*

* I begin my trek back to the sleeping S.S. Redbeard.*
