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

Thras: Ohh oooh! Pick me! I do!

Jade: Rather, ooh ooh, pick /us,/ /we/ do. You need both a white and a black innate to do such a spell. And Since Thras is white innate, and I'm a black... Well just watch.

*Thras flies about Jade in a spiral, leaving a definite white spectral trail. Jade begins spinning herself, but in the opposite direstion. She leaves a black spectral trail. The two trails mix together into a grey trail, which slowly turns into a prismatic, sparkly, many coloured trail. Jade and Thras both step out of the spectral spiral they have made and grin mischeviously.*

Jade: Now everyone take someone else's hand, we need to make a chain. *to YC* Where did you want to go, dear? Just shout out the name, and I'll pull us in.

* MaW takes Jade's hand. With his other hand, he's eating chocolate to restore some of the energy the blinding spell took *

[YC] No, I didn't mean that ...

[YQ's jaw drops.]

[YQ] You mean ... the /quad-tech/??

[YC] Yes! TELE-PAN-TIPODE! Cast antipode on a pie-pan, and teleport the pie-pan's bearer above the target!

[YQ] Um, none of us has a pie-pan.

[YC] Then let's use Tele-SWORD-tipode!

Jade: Why can't we just do it this way? I have this perfectly good tridemensional portal here, doing nothing, and I'm damned if I'm not going to use the bloody thing!!!! *frowns*

Thras: Oh just let him have his way...

Jade: No! This is so not cool! We go and use all of those magic points, just for him to say, oh, no, I wanted to use a pie pan! It's not fair!

[YC] Just make the other end of it ten feet above its head.

[YC and YQ prepare to cast Antipode]

* MaW vanishes, soon to return, he hopes *

* MaW reappears *

They fixed the phone line much quicker than I thought they would! Yay!

Jade: *sighs* Oh all right... *aims the vortex to approximately 10 feet above the head of the Mondotickler*

Thras: Is that okay?

[MaW] Isn't that a bit on the, err, dangerous side?

* he backs off and considers another plan *

[MaW] Go ahead, I'll see if I can distract it.

* he squats down, puts both hands firmly on the ground and begins to chant in a deep, sonorous tone *

[YC] No, just get ready to pull the "Sephiroth Maneuver": leaping downwards with your sword pointed down.

[[Tele-Sword-Tipode]]

[YC and YQ put fire and ice energy around MaW's sword.]

[YQ] Great! Now jump through that portal and point your sword downward!

* MaW stops chanting and looks at the sword *

[MaW] Hmm, thanks for the sword! I'm not sure if it's as good as an Evilsaber, but I'll try it...

* he leaps into the transdimensional portal and performs the Sephiroth Maneuver on the MondoTickler *

[MaW] Woo!

* he rolls away to safety, leaving the sword embedded in the MondoTickler's skull. Large amounts of damage are caused. MaW comes to his feet, mutters a spell and launches it at the sword, causing the blade to shatter inside the MondoTickler's head. Bloody shrapnel and bits of MondoTickler head fly everywhere *

[MaW] Hmm. Seems like it _was_ a good plan after all.

[[MaW's clothes take on a more stylish cut]]

[[MaW increases Aspect: Water to Level Sixteen]]

[[MaW increases Aspect: Telekinesis to Level Eight]]

(It should be noted that MaW's special abilities are extremely complex and contain large numbers of different Aspects, hence the rather large set of them getting upgraded with each level. Maybe I'll write an Entry on them some day. Who knows, this could be a prelude to fulfilling an age-old wish and writing a Secret of Mana-style RPG )

[YC] Okay. We can continue our journey...

* MaW gets back into the speeder *

[MaW] Which way? Shall we continue this way?

* he chews on some toffee *

[YQ] Hang on a sec ...

[YQ checks a sensor. After rotating a bit, it alights in one direction and starts bleeping]

[YQ] Okay, target at 10:49.

[YC] Roger. What should we do until then? [rotates the speeder and sends them off in that direction]

* MaW produces some juggling balls and starts juggling them *

Jade: *yawns, settles back into her seat.* Are we going to be doing a lot of this battling? It tires me out...

Thras: Me too. Here Jade, have a nostrum. *passes her something that looks like a toffee. Except that it has a black wrapper and looks a tad moree expensive*

Jade: Thank you...! *takes it from him and pops it into her mouth. Her HP jumps back to it's normal level. She looks decidedly more perky*

Thras: Better?

Jade: Yes, thank you.

Thras: Anyone else want one? I have a whole bag...

[YC] Fine.

[YQ has one, too.]

Jade: Jeez, dun't act so indignant about it. He was only trying to help.

Thras: *sighs* No love for the dragon...

Jade: *pats him on the head* There there dear.
