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

Well, we were leaving the tour off. I was intending to be the acting-leader of STUMPED in your absence, but here you are, and there we go.

Apparently no one knows the current list of who the mantle falls on if I should meet an untimely end. The Masque and BBW have first dibs at acting leadership. Not that I have anything against you, Lord B, but they've been given more information of what is currently going on behind the scenes. The new hidden rat-ant colony, the giant ray gun aimed at h2g2, Project M&M, etc. But in their absence, I'd say that you wouldn't make a bad leader.

And just so everyone knows, there may be a temporary truce between the forces of evil and good in the upcoming weeks. I'm working on a contract that will, in the end, be beneficial to all involved.

yes, but can we still fight?

For now, you can fight, and after the contract is signed, you can find, but during the discussions about the contract that I intend to have with CHOPPERS, I want only sparring or practice fighting. Only fight in self defense, or if the hero in question agrees to the battle.

Fighting amongst yourselves will be frowned upon, but it will still be permitted. After all, I've got a feeling that even if I gave a direct order I wouldn't be able to stop that for very long.

That is absolutely true.

Just out of curiosity, what would you people have all done had STUMPED not been founded?

[sea] i wouldn't have gotten so freaking addicted to this site... i might have actually had a real life. *shudders* anywho, it's "tres fenetre" to have ya back, KL!!!!!

I was outwitted by your cunning use of the language.

*thinks* this guy is good. perhaps to good. think of something funny and disarming

*says* you like like a pig

*thinks* good job. that'll throw him.

What! A new adventure! Wahey! With all these new CHOPPERS, well we'll have something to do with them. Huzzah!

Tres fenetre, as they rarely say in France.

[Y2K] Well, that's all very interesting, because I sense a disturbance in the Force.

Y2K, the last time YOU alerted us to a disturbance in the force, it turned out to be a precognition of Dantooine's moons exploding, and you were lucky to get Y4K out of there.

*sea looks around the room, for lack of anything else to do*

Uncle Heavy, you'll pardon the expression, but I just thought that you wanted the Linux version.

Oh, and just so you know Uncle Heavy, your skills may be wanted in Roswell, New Mexico. An old enemy of Affy's (namely the telepathic goldfish, a non-unionized supervillain) is on the loose.

[Y2K] Oh. What's this?

Affy is in Roswell, New Mexico right now, and he's run across two enemies, one of whom is the second villain he ever played a part in stopping on h2g2. It's known only as the Telepathic Goldfish. You can read about him in some of Affy's earlier case files, if you want.

The only thing you might be interested in knowing about him is that he's the most powerful telepath known to exist. He's taught me a few interesting tricks that I plan on using as soon as I finish a new invention of mine.

I wonder if I should capture a super hero and carefully explain my plan before I go through with it. I know I probably shouldn't, but it just feels like the right thing to do for some reason.

Perhaps you ought to tell Affy?

well, seeing as i'm here...


um, nothing was happening there, so I kind of drifted off... (in Roswell, that is.)

Did you ever see Roswell High, that new drama about half human high school kids? It really is in a class of its own. If you'll excuse the pun.

[Y2K] Hur whur.

This forum is drifting out, too. And no the Roswell one hasn't.

Yes, this forum is loosing speed, but the one in Roswell is still in full swing, and it just had a new plot device thrown in. Too late for other people to join in the fun, but it's probably not too late for you to get back in the action, Uncle Heavy.
