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

[Location: a sort of pagoda hovering in the middle of a dark cloud. An unassuming old man is standing there, leaning on a staff. His name is Rubicant. A portal opens at the entrance, and Positivefreak steps into the pagoda.]

[Rubicant] Hello, hello!

here I've been sent here and darkman told me to give you this

[hands Rubicant the note and then looks around where she is standing]

hmmmmm nice place here. ominous. I like it.

[Rubicant reads the note. He nods, satisfied, and stuffs it in his pocket.]

[Rubicant] Well, it looks like, after here, you're going to Mt. Sandeverest. Well, you're here to learn Trance... [gazes into PF's eyes] You already seem to know what Trance is. Now, I guess I'll just teach it to you. Do you want to try your first Trance Skill here?

[shrugs. calmly ties her hair back, looks around again, raises an amused eyebrow as if at some secret joke then looks up again grinning]

o.k then. Lets go for it.

[Rubicant enters Trance Mode. His Aura is golden; his Formation is that his thin hair glows and his muscles become huge.]

[Positivefreak enters Trance Mode and describes her own Aura and Formation. ]

[positivefreak anters trance mode, her aura is purple and her formation is that her eyes turn black and she grows wings]

(ooc) am i allowed to do that? (/ooc)

Yeah, except inasmuch as your eyes are supposed to be glowing.

I suppose they could be glowing blacklight ...


[Trance-Rubicant] Now, use your First Trance Skill. It won't harm me, because I'm invincible.

(ooc) just wanna check what kinda stuff i'm allowed to do before i do it. tend to have this problem with ym imagination running away with me and people getting annoyed. and yeah glowing black is good (/ooc)

I understand. Once you get used to it, it'll be easier. Now use your First Trance Skill.

You still with us?

oops sorry yeah still here. got dragged away for a few days but back now. hang on just explain this trance skill thing to me. what am i doing again? sorry the heat's gotten to me. i'll be back to normal in a few days

It's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F68464?thread=121065 post #14

oh yeah. i feel stupid.

[brings her hands together and creates a ball of purple fire that slowly grows]

am i allowed to do that?

Stop asking. Just do. And indicate the name of this move, and then throw the ball of purple fire at Rubicant.

sorry. *looks sheepish*

this is a little number i call spirit of elements [balances ball of purple fire on her finger, spins it around a bit then blows it which sends it speeding towards rubicant]

[It hits Rubicant, who stumbles backwards. He then regains his composure.] [Rubicant] Ha! That's a good one. Now ... Torrent of Souls! [A huge amount of Dark-elemental energy hits PF.] [Then everything goes back to normal: everyone reverts to their normal forms and they stop hovering and the platform reverts to the pagoda.] [Rubicant] Well, there you go. I'm sending you to the foot of Mt. Sandeverest. Seems you have something to do there. There's two things you need to remember: first, swords and blasters don't work on killer rabbits. [A portal opens at the front of the pagoda.] [Rubicant] And second, tell the dark man's past self these exact words: "The katana is twin-jaded." You don't need to understand it. /He/ won't, either, come to think of it. But once he has enough of the whole story, he will tell you of your destiny. Now go. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F44375?thread=125519
