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

My head hurts from the crash.

Gray Swordsman: "Arty, these be ways of getting connections, with people. ALl sorts of people from various complex bitter and unsavoury entrees from society fathom their way there."

*He is not sure that it means much, but it doth sound *

"Besides, what of the two ladies to consider?"
*Shrug*

Passes out on the floor

Gray Swordsman: "I suppose that makes for quite an icebreaker at parties, yes?"
*Reverse-morphs out of being mettaloid*
"..."
*i.e. is now "un-shiny" (is one way of putting it)*
"Oh great, a fainter." }Sigh!{

"Supposing one of us ought to carry her... to a bar? Isn't that rather a tad... un-civilized seeming?"
*He says, shrugging*

Slowly comes round. i think i hurt my head in the crash. then passes back out.

Comes round and thanks the kind hero who carried me. i feel a bit better now.

"Ah, that's good. Would you like to accompany us to headquarters?"

Don't worry about GS, he's like that all the time

I would love to. lead the way.


MELANIE

"It's just over here."

Can you get a good here?

"I suppose you're in shock. You might want to pop over to the hospital wing, see if everything is all right."

I think you are right. would you show me the way?

"It's just along there"

Artemis points.

And the links just up there [or down here: F2158494?thread=1097951&latest=1 ]

Thanks.

Meanwhile... back at the Bar:
Gray Swordsman: *Drums his fingers on the table.*
The bartender frets a tiny bit.
*Realizes he hadn't fully changed himself back to nonmettaloid*

*Tries not to dent the countertop any much... further.*
"Now where did CL go,- I thought she had said she'd agreed to meet me here."

"Women,- even superpowered ones. Oh well."
*Does a tiny bit of a shrug*
The bartender does not know what to say, and so is cleaning/polishing some glasses, acting like that was exactly what he had been doing... the whole time; Scowls a tiny bit though.

Gray Swordsman: "Or perhaps she had meant the League bar instead?"
*Is a little confused*
The bartender does not know.

Hey i am back and feeling better.


MELANIE

Gray Swordsman: *Shrug* "well, that's funny,- supposing that Crimson Lady,- has _stood me up?"

*Gets up from sitting at the counter, setting back the barstool, etc.*
The bartender,- seems to be a bit annoyed.

"Oh, thank you though; sorry about the trouble."

*Leaves the bartender a bit of a tip anyway, even though he did not order anything*

(Then to Mel) : "Oh, that sounds good. Artemis is a swell chap; helped me out of many a scrape, quite a few times. In fact, one time, he and I managed to both plan and carry out a brilliant escape from being locked in a cloister,- by some mad monks, who happened to have converted to a strong-security sort of prison-type of cell-thing..."

*Trails off -into his story, embellishing a tiny bit every so often,- but only a little/a tad. *

Would you tell me the rest of that story Gray Swordsman. I would like to here it.



MELANIE

If you reaaly want to see it, it'll be in the backlog here, unless....

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear!"

Artemis wanders in, and orders a orange juice and lemonade.
