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

[Poxlu glances at her Digital Watch and presses a button on it]

[Poxlu] {Sunday.}

Ugh... wha? Where am I?

You're in the medical quarters of CLI, recovering from a pretty nasty near death experience at the hands of Red. Oh, and I was just saving this.

*Affy pulls a small pouch out of his cape, and empties the pouch onto a table. Small coffee beans fall out*

Your trek to South America seemed to circulate around these, so I made sure to swipe some from a few of the natives.

*GL's eyes widen.*

Affy. Do you think that was wise?

*Laughs*

Wise? Of course not, GL. We're adventurers! We steal treasures without believing the ancient curses instilled upon them! We divert flowing magma into underground tunnels without considering the possible ecological repurcussions! We pull levers on the wall BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE!

So no, I guess it wasn't wise.

*Grins *

Well, now that this forum is back, it looks like we have some new obscure items to use in some other thread. I wonder if those beans might be useful in 33BC ...

Maybe. But we should find out what they do, exactly. They're more valuable than their appearance suggests.

True. An awful lot of effort went into producing them and keeping them secret. Poor Irv almost paid for them with his life. They certainly must have some interesting properties. Good thing I couldn't resist taking a few too.

*GL unscrews the wolfs-head handle of his cane and tips the cane. Out of the hollow body of the cane rolls several dozen beans.*

Plenty for testing.

Great! Now, to see about some test subjects. Hmmmm.....

*Affy's gaze shifts to the Pokemon*

*GL discretely steps between the Pokemon and the door.*

*Affy quietly turns on the Anti-Telekinesis/Telepathy field, crushes some beans in his hand, and drops the powder into a nearby boiling beaker of water*

*GL sneaks up behind the Pokemon and overpowers them. He straps them to a table.*


This breach of continuity has been approved by the continuity police since the subjects are no longer active on h2g2.


Now, I'm not sure about dosage.

*GL takes the beaker and measures out two teaspoons in one glass and 4 teaspoons in another glass. He walks over to the two struggling Pokemon and gives one dose to one and the other dose to the other. He then stands back to watch.*

Wonder how long this will take.

*Sits bolt upright*


Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

*Dashes over to Irv*

It's okay Irv, it's okay, you were just unconcious for about five months, and h2g2 temporarily went offline while you were stranded here, and things like that. It's alright....

*Looks at Ketsar and Poxly appologetically*

I...I remember waking up here.... and then... and then... RUPERT came! Rupert came and held my mind captive, tormented me untill I could take no more! It was Abi who finally rescued me from the horror... the horror... ooooooh the horror!

*GL's eyes widen He runs out and comes back a few minutes later with for Irv.*

Here, Irv. Drink some of this. It'll make you feel better.

*Notices Irv's skeptical look.*

No, no. It's only tea.

Irv, you're back now, so you don't have to worry about Rupert. I know torture just doesn't vanish, but as time passes, it'll go away.

Besides, everything's still here. The Beach, The Cafe, Lil's Atelier, the Donut Stall, it's all still here....

No... the Parade is gone. He took the Parade.

Affy, I don't think I can go on any adventures for a while. I'm not too good at them, I'm afraid.

*sips *

Hmmm this is good. Magic tea, is it?

Um, I don't know. GL, what kind of tea is that?

Anyway, Irv, you don't need to be rushing off to various adventures after all that you've been through. I mean, even Indiana Jones would put a few months (at least) between most of his adventures. In the meantime, just relax. I believe that the parade pictures are still up somewhere. GL, didn't the people at the Atelier find some pictures from the parade? I definitely remember a small photo of Ampton and I think the Aroma Cafe's float.

*sigh*

In the last two years I've been kidnapped, stranded on a desert planet, knocked unconscious on our own ship, kidnapped again, forced to drink hallucenigenic (sp?) coffee, nearly sacrificed, slipped into a coma, drug through a jungle, and tortured by Rupert.

I just always seem to need rescuing, I never seem to do anything usefull.
