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

*kics the hydrant and looks to see what happens*

*hydrant says "Ow". Changeling alters shape to humanoid form.*

What the bleedin' hell was that for? You looking for a smack?

*waves his brolly about menacingly*

*looks amused*

As part of my back story - I only talk when I want to knock people unconcious or kill them - i'll write it up sometime. but i use sign language, and telepathy to communicate to people

harumph

*points at kicker, taps forefinger to left temple three times in succession then places fore-finger and little finger halfway up left forearm and with right hand wiggles fingers, then moves right hand to the air and 'paints'*

No wonder someone got rid of the mimes.

I can still hear you know. Not deaf! Why were you pretending to be a hydrant?? What if there was a fire, and they needed water???! Unless you can pee that much, which personally I wouldnt wish to see...i'd prefer to be something else...

hydrants are a nice colour. plus it's amazing what you can see from waist height. PLus a bloke with yellow skin and red eyes tends to make a bit of a fuss to humans. hence I go disguise. but if it makes you happier next time I'll alter shape into a respectable business man. then I won't have to put out fires with my considerable bladder contents.

*nods head*

*looks around to see if there is any trouble in the city*

*shouts*

FIRE, FIRE!!

*A tall man in white coat with shining white hair walks away from the fire, laughing menacingly and rubbing his comically over-sized gauntlet

*The fire spreads and worsens, flaming up the side of a large building and connecting onto another next to it until a blaze has surrounded the street*

Gandark casts "Ice" on the fire!
Nerd42

*watches as the cubes bounce off the brickwork*

Good one.

*waves to the people waving at him from the top floors*

Where's Pink Storm when you need her? In fact, where's the fire brigade?

[Gandark] wha? that was supposed to be a spell!
Nerd42

*re-attempts to use magic to put out the fire*
Nerd42

well how about ice you use water.

anyone have the proper fire-putting-out powers? no? drat. ok how are we going to do this then?

(INSTEAD of ice use water. )

I'm not so much worried about the fire as all those people getting a tad warm up there.

*points*

yeah, what do we do about that? i've only got one grapple hook so i can only take one down at a time.

hold on, the top of the building looks ok. if we get them to go to the roof and then get them over to the next building they'll be safe.

Here we go again... Gandark, could you get that flying carpet of yours up there? If the fire rises to the roof we're gonna be in trouble, be back in a mo

*runs into the burning building, taking care to keep low and out of the smoke. She tracks down the room where most of the people are*

Hi guys, Crimson Lady, H2G2 Superheroes at your service. If you could just make your way to the roof we are working on a rescue. NOw is there anyone missing?

*flies up to the roof* It's damn smokey up here, need some wind to blow it away. Where IS that Pink Storm?

in another time zone? ok, this section of fire escape looks a bit dodgy at the bottom but if we get it away from the wall we can use it as a bridge over to the other roof.
