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

Thank you.

*sea rolls her eyes*

[sea] well, i'm there, and i'm proud of it. besides, you guys weren't using it....

*Bows. Uppercuts. Dusts hands. Smiles.*

[Y2K jumps in front of HP, blocking his way]

[Y2K] I do, however, take great exception to you hitting my Apprentice!

At ease, Darth Corrigible.

Uncle Heavy, may I remind you of your situation? You are standing in Krylma Mountain. It's crawling with my minions (not to mention a few very nifty security devices). As long as you're on the tour, I do recommend you taking a more polite tone with my zealous underilngs. BTW, CHOPPERS could have something like this. Just have Affy install it for you. CLI isn't a STUMPED front, after all.

*KL walks to an escelator, which rapidly descends*

Okay, get ready for a long ride. This thing goes all the way down to below the mountain.

Of course. [follows]

*The escelator continues to descend. They pass several floors of mazes, caves, laboratories, game rooms, bars, intergalactic greeting centers, and other various places. Passing troglodytes wave as the tour progresses*

As you can see, I rent out Krylma Mountain to Troglodyte and Dwarvish miners, along with other buisinesses. This prevents the good guys from blowing up the entire mountain when I'm at war with the world (after all, it would be a shame for all of these innocent people to get killed), and it also pours money into my private coffers, by taking ten percent of all transactions and treasures found. We're about a fourth of the way to the bottom of the escelator by now.

*sea rubs her jaw and glares at heavy defiantly, then goes to find something to eat, muttering something about uppity superheroes*

*The descending continues to descend. KL frequently looks down. He sighs*

How many times have I told them not to do it like that.

*KL shouts to some creatures hiding in the darkness in some ancient language*


I don't care how tired you are, get back to work on finishing those machines. Do you think it's easy *walking* from this mountain to, say, Crater Labs? No, it isn't!

*Calmly and quietly rides the elevator with the others, one hand thrust casually in his pocket. Unknown to the others, except for KL, the hand in his pocket holds a button-covered device, not unlike a TV Remote. His thumb rests gently on one particular button.*

[Y2K] [telepathically to BBW] (What have you got in your pocket?)

[sea] *telepathically to Y2K* (my guess is that you don't want to know.)

[evillene] *telepathically to sea* (don't you hate it when you start hearing those voices in your head?)

*sea screams. everyone turns to stare at her*

Waitasec... what was that about you making war on the world KL? Surely some mistake - I thought you werent an evil supervillain up to no good. And I hope that whatever BBW is playing with in his pocket is not anything illegal. Yes. Dont think that I cant see you fiddling, my friend.

Oh, and BTW, who won the election?

Will anything happen (this was while I was away, you see)

You don't need to know who won the election. You just need to know it wasn't me.

Now don't get any funny ideas about seeing me here, Uncle Heavy, everyone knows I'm a perfectly respectable shop owner. I own an antiques, collectibles, and relics store which you can reach from my personal space.

[sea] *innocently* we may be evil, but that doesn't mean we're up to no good....

That I know about...

Just because YOU'RE a hero doesn't mean you're always planning something heroic, does it?

*Pulls hand out of pocket and shows UH the device.*

This is merely a security device. Should you make any false moves, a simple press of a button will ... well, let's not spoil the surprise.

*Grins wolfishly*
