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

That's the way it should be on the Good Ship Necromancer.

Hello all!
Thanks for tying me down, Pinky. It really helped. Is there a chance of any more coffee?
I can be DJ for you if you like. I know some good tunes and it would probably help you, Pinky, if you're too busy making Earl Grey for Cap'n Kid, and my coffee, and whatever else for the rest of the crew when they emerge from wherever they're hibernating these days.
If anyone's fond of sushi I think we can get some in Japan. Ready for some retail therapy, Pinky?

Aharr!

Aharr I've never ate sushi there little Missy. I sure Pinky could use the help. I'ma hard task master at times. Did'nt mean to overload the Lass. She's such a nice she is. How lucky can a pirate be. shiver me timbers. To have such an accomindating Crew. Er if you would Midnight think you might look and see if you can't hunt up a fav of mine "New Orleans Ladies" It's a beautiful dance tune by La Rue. Always been a favourite of mine.

Okay - will do. Hopefully someone brought the CD...

Well Missy it's not in my collection only by memory it exsist. A pretty little tune from way back when it is. It reminds me of the times I visited the place. AAnd some of the things I did whilst there.

Well...
One nostalgia-inducing tune coming right up...

Why Thank You Missy it's a right nice tune. Beautiful as it were. Now in case anyone askes I don't talk like that. Us Pirates have standards to keep.

Arrr! That we do, maties!
So - seeings as we're pirates (aharrr!) we should have a kind of drunken party (or a party minus the drunkenness). Because we're nearly near Japan so I think that we should celebrate our piratey-ness.

Aharr! Drinks all round!

Sounds like a good plan to me Lass. I can't seem to locate the rest of the crew members One can only hope they have'nt hopped ship. In the middle of the ocean it twould not be good. Perhaps they are still asleep. Let them be Missy they'll come around sooner or later and then we'll have the festivities. What says you? Aharr Look I can see some Japanese lasses divin for pearls.

Aye, we'll wait for the others to wake up or return from whatever it is that they're doing now.

I think there are some guys down there diving for pearls too...
Does anyone know what part of Japan we're entering?

Well according to the charts we should be coming up on the southern tip. must be the lower island I think. Don't quote me on that.

Okay... I was kind of hoping we'd be near Tokyo, but I think people would look at us strangely if we sailed into the bay on a pirate ship. Hopefully there'll be some good stuff on the southern island.

Oh I was thinking of hugging the eastern coast til we see the lights of Tokyo. or is that the western coast. Nah east coast I think

Yeah, it is east.
Wonder where all the others are?

Good Morning All x Is that land I espy ? Are we going ashore ? Can we get into the harbour with this huge ship ? Is it Japan ? Why are those people over there wearing Mexican hats ?? Where was I ? Ahh yes 1 coffee for Midnight and the Captain ,Earl Grey...of course

The Japanese are celebrating Cingo De Mayo. Ilittle late I must admit.Course we could have gone off course.*starts eyeing charts intencely* Thanks there Missy for the Earl Grey. Land ho drop the mains and start the engines. Aharr get out the mexican language translation books. Make it snappy ok I'll help. No need in a Mutiny Aharrr.

I'll act as translator if anyone starts speaking Japanese... but Mexican I'm no good with.
Anything I can do to help on deck?

Well ther littlr Missy. I could use your company at this time. Would you be a sweets and make sure the Main Sails are secure Lass. Tie em down good so they won't swing out and knock someone off the Boat.

Yeah, we wouldn't want that...
*goes and ties down the sails*
Well, Capt'n, that's all secure. I think I might go read a book or something now, or maybe I could cook a meal for the rest of the crew. I'm not much of a cook, mind, but I can do a few simple things...

I think Pinky has that job, but you can go and see if she needs some help there Missy.
