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

Hi. I saw you wanted to join Beta so I thought it's really time to drop in.
Did you read any of the blog?

Also: can you really write normally? I mean, the way we others write. I still often get confused over your posts.

Nothing going on in offshoot anymore?

*sigh*
Yes, yes... I know, the thing with no smileys.
Already covered. I've reaqd enough of it before in the past.

*pulls a bit of a grin*
Format's different than the sci-fi action thing that's kind of off of a radio/tele-screenplay series, yep.
Wanna see the character I am putting together?
I haven't quite got a full name yet. Thought about it awhile & I think I want to have his first name be Ace.
You see, I will have it be so that when people go "What in the Deuce"
He will go "No, no- that was my brother."
As kind of a running joke every once in awhile until that gets old.
I will fetch thee a link in a bit, I will.
Cross linked it to shorter & indeed shorter summaries of the character bio/background idea.
*nod*

Yes, there are things in that one still.
But, byu gum, I had thought, one of these days I'd like to be able to show people somehow, that if put to the test, in the right scenario or situation, that I would have what it takes.

*fetches that link*

Here you are Tav,
: A16080347

Sorry about the blasted typo up there in 'read'.

When I get in a hurry sometimes my fingers get in a bit ahead of me, and well... you get the idea.
Always a rush.

Humm...
*Shrugs*

you sure about this running joke?

And the thing I meant about writing is not only no smileys, you know? I mean, we write more like a play/novel mixture, I think. Proper sentences and all. If you know what I mean.

Oh, and I wouldn't give away too much of the character's background at first. It's nicer if you find that out bit by bit...

And: before you start anything: talk to Dmitri. Take the test. Read the last few thousand posts of blog. Everyone has to do that. When Otus joined he read 2 books or so, I think. We shouldn't change that rule. It's essencial to know what's going on.

... you can't say which nickname he gets. That's a thing other characters will decide

got to go now

*Poke*
I did take the test, months ago I had read most of 1 and most of 2.
Read some of three. Skimmed four. Picked it up in bits and snatches. Then I read some of five today.

Nobody gets to know much about my character though.
That will be the beauty of it. He is well... introverted. You have to get to know him over time to find out anything into the personality. I was merely describing the hollow shell. You know, as valence is to electrons in an atom. Well, nevermind my silly analogy.

No, not to be overplayed. That is why it won't be like any sort of a catch-phrase or anything.

Well,- did I use any smileys in any of the last few posts up here (if you exclude the don't panic)?

Hmm...
*thinks about things again for awhile*

oh: and Dmitri isn't here today and tomorrow
Maybe a few min today. Just so you don't wonder. He might not reply immediately.

Alright, I'll revise that.
Maybe one of his names shall be Lens then. Hmm...
I can tack a few names on so that it will be like he has a full name that has both a first one and a last, no?

Yeah, *kindly* I know. Malabarista told me earlier.
Don't worry yourself so much Ms. Tavaron.
It's alright.
I won't go and blow up the game by putting a giant-robotic fist through it.

*dusts himself off* Not that evil anyway. Leastaways not so much.
Well, you get what I mean.

Well, thank you for poinjting out my continuity problems left behind in the sum up... a little old science fiction rule or genra convention has been exploited to explain for some of the inconsistencies like why he would have two first names and no last name that anyone may know of. I took it and tweaked that old rule, by putting it in a new and different kind of context from the usual "time-hop" theme/motif.

*smiles a half-grin again*

No worries.

I see you put a lot of thought into that

With the name I can't help you unfortunately. I always need help with names myself.

No robots is a very good start.

so... a psychologist? Pity that Paul is halfway cured

ah, another thing: be careful with the age. If you say he only appears to be early 20s make that as clear as possible. Elektra unfortunately seems to hate young characters. When I brought Anezka in (also early 20s), she was kind of mean. It goes away, just be prepared.
... even if you make clear that he only looks like that she might not read it properly.
But don't let that put you off. It's just a warning.

Another thing: when you are in we would need your email address. We often send each other ppts. Mostly Dmitri. He writes about the new planets so we know what to do there.
I mean, if you don't want to give it to us (it's enough to give it to one, we can spread it) we could probably find another way.

Ok... can't think of more now.

oooh... I think I'd have a job for your guy Paul still has to get some kind of mental training. When he was bitten by a poisonous/hallucigenic(???) spider he got hallucinations. The training shall help that this doesn't happen again, but noone yet knows how exactly it works, I think.
So id everything's ok for Dmitri and if you want...

Thanks for the tips, sorry I had been so grouchy/snarly-ish earlier.


It's not your fault.

I try to be a bit secretive about...

Library computer had timed me out, I had to find an opening and sign back in/log back on.

... my contact details. Only one person on Hootoo knows an e-mail address I have, and there is one fellow who I have been friends with on deviant art for about a year or more who knows my Cell# & I his, and once in awhile we e-mail each other on Net things; *shrug* guy stuff & sometimes nerd stuff. *laughing*

Yes, I may be able to give my new gmail address to a few such as you & Mr. Dmitri.

Occasionally my dad checks my yahoo page and address to see if I am mostly working or screwing around though so it probly would be likely to not due, having that one be a contact/reference for conversing with me off of this site.
& , yes?
*shrug*

Dmitrigheorghini had said he would get around to that likely around somewhere in or by the weekend time,- so that is alright.

I think I shall have his name be Dr. Lens and that his informal/more casual name shall be Ace.

Yes, he is physically young, but knowledge wise and has a certain amount of experience on some things that would typically be more likely found in someone who would be much older; the time rip anomally thing is why, you see.

*smiles again*

Yes, the one who I am friends with and who knows my cell # though is roughly just about the same age as myself and a few states over.

Not sure why I am talking of that though, he does not hootoo, at least, to the best of my own knowledge does not anyway.

*shrugs and then raises an eyebrow*

Are you doing alright?
