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

Well, you might be able to break the chains with your shovel *glances wistfully back out into the corridoor, where the strains of mutilated classics can still be heard*

Well what are we waiting for?

*goes and breaks the chains with her shovel, releasing the weird old lady*

Here, I'll remove the blindfold and gag with my mace....What? I'm getting pretty good with this thing *swings mace randomly about his head*

*ducks*

*swings mace through the air, slicing a perfect arc through the air. First swish and the blindfold falls to the ground. Second swish and*

Oops, I didn't mean to do that.

*doesn't dare to watch*

You? Squeamish? Who would've thought? If I just pick this up and put it on here......
*Squelch glob*
There - good as new!

*still ducking and covering her eyes*

*Leads her gently out of the room, closing the door behind them.*
Sorry about that. More practice needed, I guess.

WHAT did you do????

*is about to go back into the room*

Nothing, nothing. She's just easily embarrassed, that's all.

Indeed We're almost at the end of the corridoor...last door on the right or straight ahead?

I don't think we could miss that one door... *takes the door on the right*

*peeks over her shoulder through the door*
Well I can't say as I'm very surprised......

They seem have a very weird sense of humour...

Maybe that's why they didn't attack us - they sensed a certain commonality between us and them...

But we're not *that* weird!
