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

*headbangs to Tool while she waits for the Legionsy to reply*

*Walks in, regards JJ in silent horror for a moment before attempting to sneak out again unnoticed. Trips on virtual carpet*

Oh, hi. I see you're...bop-ping. Can I join in?







That was *fun* What's up in JJville? Things are pretty quiet here - teachers haven't started piling on the pressure yet. I had a look at some of the points required for the courses I'm thinking of - I should be studying right now. Obscenely high. I think the whole college system is different in the States, is it? Here we send off a form with our preferences of course on it, and depending on the points we get we're sent offers of places by the colleges. It's all quite complicated and terrifying and I have to do it later this year Still, I know where my is. (It's in the bathroom)

That's all for this despatch from the Irish Front.

Yeah, it's a bit different here.

If you want to study abroad all you do is apply, and sometimes you get scolarships for it (if it pplies to your major, and in my case it might, actually. I'm majoring in English and I wanna go to Britain? I mean, really. But anyway.) and they send you packing and off you go for a semester. Or two.

So yes. You'll be fine, you'll get into a college. And it'll probably be a good on too, as my Legionsy is so smart a . You know?

Yep, guilty as charged. What sort of stuff is on your course? I'm considering doing English...or History...or basically anything that means I get to sleep late, get extensions on my essays and never have to do maths again, ever. I know it'd probably be nothing like our syllabus, but anyway.

Over in the BoE I've just lunged at you with a sharp object. But, to dredge up a phrase from my playground days...

You started it!

I started it?


You "thought" that Yank had cankles. So I had to retaliate. So there we are then.

You wanna start some stuff, Legionsy?

You know I have a trump card. I always have a trump card. I wouldn't mess wit me if I was you, boss.

-JJ

Did I say 'cankles'? Must have been some kind of Freudian slip. They sound like some nasty sort of pustule.

I could do with some of your kick-a$$ skills in foiling Mysty - he's leading an intrepid group of companions to destroy the plasticine in the chasms of Mount Damp. Wasteful cur. I have a small surprise waiting for him at the top...hehehe... F98316?thread=208800&latest=1

BTW, I rather like my new black-bladed lightsaber. Also I've just seen 'Empire Strikes Back', and am spoiling for a fight. Just give me an excuse!

* off to search BoE b'log for mention of cankles*

You didn't mention them, Yank said she thought that you thought that she /had/ cankles.

And just so you know: "cankles" is a term for the thing people have then their calves and ankles merge and become one... thing. It's gross, yes, but some people have the, and that's all there is. So there we are then. If you want to know more about cankles, rent "Shallow Hal." It's a wealth of useless knowledge.

There we are then.

*ignites her pink lightsaber, lunghes at Legion, buts off the left sleeve of his shirt*

Ooooh, nice shoulders...!

*Flips back fringe, smiles smoulderingly*

Thank you, I...work out. Three hours hard slog on the couch every day with Sony, my personal trainer. No, I'm not quite that bad. Not quite.

Cankles are Boo to you for introducing that image into my head!

*Aims a haymaker swing at JJ, misses, overbalances, wipes out*

I've gotta learn to use that thing.

Especially when you have such a lithe nymphet as an opponent, yes?



*Does a few cartwheels simply to show off and then grins at him*

You so limber, me so slow

'Lithe nymphet'...mmmm, I like that. I must remember that.
And you can call me a...a...well, think of this passage:
"He leaped with feline grace off the bench, up the wall, across the ceiling and down behind her, and had a saber at her throat before she could blink. 'Lithe this' he quipped."

*Eats some , simply to show off*

Yeah. YEAH. I'm *dominating* this popcorn

Ah yes, but you didn't think of this, my dear dear Legion.

*She begins to choke him (//with her mind//) and watches as the saber falls from his hand and hits the floor with a metalic clatter.*

Yes. Eat your popcorn.

But you will never be as lithe and nymphish as the likes of me...!

*maniacal laughter*

Bah. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me. Chooba tee sooloo na Wookie!

*Claps hands. Trapdoor springs open under JJ*

Ho Ho Ho

*falls into underground dungeon-type thing*

Oh! Alas, alack, I am trapp'd.

Whatever shall I do?

I suppose I shall just sit here and wait to be rescued! Yay!

*sits in the centre of the room cross-legged and waits patiently to be rescued*

Bo shuda.

*Gate grinds open. Big stop-motion beasty trots haltingly out of it, stops in front of JJ and roars unconvincingly*

Ho ho ho.

*can see the zipper on the creature, leaps out, pulls at it, and three small tribbles fall out of the suit*

*calls up the shaft*

Yeah, good job, Legion! *scoffs*

*Hollers down shaft*

Well, I have to do the best with the budget the studio gives me. You want proper SFX, go to WETA.

Can you help in my war against the Knights of H2G2? I think I put a link on the BoE, but only Granny turned up. They've been preparing their defences and digging trenches for days now, and I think they'd be disappointed if just little ol' me turned up. Also...I have a Plan.

Yeah, a Plan.

Suuure you have a Plan. A capitalised one, even. That's great.

Well since you've currently got me in a bloody hole, I can't really do anything.

(Can you link me from here, and I'll go? I'm at school and ergo short of time, and dually ergo, lazy. As all .)

*Extends rope ladder for JJ*

F87361?thread=211553&post=2432378#p2432378

Here you go. I always seem to miss you when you're online and turn up three or four hours later Oh well.

It's probably because you're not, darling.

*ruffles his hair and goes up the rope ladder*
Thanks, by the by.

*looking at her last post in abject puzzlement*

...Why did it just delete random words from my post...?

I meant to say "It's probably because you're in Ireland and I'm not, darling."
