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

hello again EV..

well, unfortunately, time has not been on our side, and I have been unable to speak to you since our chance meeting in the Forum and Firkin... But I finally found my way to your space (very pretty) and thought I could bring my table round with me....

Would it be possible for you to have a look at it soon? I brought both leg as well, even though it is in two parts... I would be most appreciative.... Mind you, you could always have a look at it afterwards.....

yours as always,

ddgb

ddgb, how nice to hear from you again! I'd be delighted to have a look at your table...
*produces diary from pocket*
Let's see, I can fit you in..... *throws diary away* right now.

Its so nice for you to see me straight away. I guess you must do that for all the ladies though...

Do you mind me asking why you have that bag on your head? (lifts it off) See, isnt that much better? I can see your eyes now... Now why on earth did you go and put that on for? You really have no need to... yes, I did my research (as all good girls should do...)

Now, about this table. (puts her arm through yours) This leg is an absolute mess. It might be easier for you to make me a new table. I never really liked this one in the first place, but its up to you....

*takes bag back, cuts eyeholes in it and puts it back on his head*
Sorry, I have to wear the bag... Demon Drawer is following me around with one of those special cameras that only takes pictures which make people look ugly.
*examines leg in great detail* I don't know, that leg looks fine to me. So does the other one, in fact.

oh dear... I've sort of met Demon Drawer in the Forum and Firkin... he's been taking horrid photographs? Oh. At the Scottish get together... They weren't that bad. Except the one with the red eyes... but then that always happens to me...

You like the legs do you? Well, take the bag off, and we'll see what else of the table you like... Please, it is hard talking to a bag... You could always put it back on when you go back outside....

*gingerly removes bag*

see... now isnt that much better. *takes EV in her arms...* now what were you saying about the legs?

*gazes dreamily at ddgb for a while*



*snaps back to reality* Oh, the table... yes. Er. I could have a go at fixing it, but if you'd rather have a new one then there's not much point. What do you think?

well, you are the expert... I'm not really attached to this one, and to be honest I'd rather have one which is carved from darker wood... Possibly with a celtic theme running through it... I just love the runes on the stones...

but we dont need to talk about the table... we could go sit for a while first... you seem to need to catch your breath

We can't sit on the table, it's only got three legs.

ever perceptive I see... look, I'm sorry, but this is just killing me... *removes bra* there much better...

well, this is your place, you tell me where is a nice place to snuggle up....

*raises eyebrow* Are you trying to seduce me?

quoi? moi?

Mmmm-hmmm.

*pouts* would a girl like me be capable of such forward planning? I cant help it if you walk into my life now can I? besides... I've seen the evidence of you... and dont go putting that bag back on your head or I may need to go for a more direct route...

did you like the control I have over that angel now? just because she tried to keep me away from MK... She does a good impression of me I feel

*looks around, confused* Yes, very good... these angels get everywhere, don't they?
Anyway, why don't you come and sit down here on the sofa, and we can discuss what kind of table you'd like...
*takes ddgb's hand and leads her to the sofa*

*sits next to EV on the sofa...* *moves closer towards him *

well, I would love the table to be fairly long, made out of quite hard wood, and it to be rather strong... If you could put some glass on the top as well with some celtic design within, either by carvings, or other decoration, I'd really love it...

I've got quite a tartan theme running throughout... It helps me sleep better if there is no-one beside me.... The table I would love to complement it...

Hmmmm... *draws a rough diagram on his notepad* You want a tartan table?
*leans closer to ddgb in order to show her the diagram*

*looks into EVs eyes...* Do you think it could work?
