Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, Third Edition
Ford is trapped in a dungeon, and he needs your help to research the known galaxy for the third edition of the Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, otherwise he'll be fired from his job.....he would also be very pleased if you could work on getting him out of jail, too. The reasons why he was put in there in the first place we are unfortunately not allowed to disclose to the human race, but here are the few words that we can tell you: "cold tea", "jail", "Supreme Galactic Counsel", "Earth", "fairy cake", and "bad poetry". In fact, these are the only words we know on the subject ourselves, so there's no use pestering us for more information.
CaptainRead and John F.Q will post the story from Ford's point of view, and this will work as an RP, so please post a character, their appearance, backstory, species, etc., and any of their ideas for helping to get Ford out of jail. Eventually, we should decide on an idea, act on it, and then the Great Jail-Break shall begin!
By the way, you should, in every other post or so, include at the bottom some piece of random, made-up-by-you information for Ford to send to the HHGTTG. If there are not enough (at least 8 for now) tidbits of information by the time this thread reaches 15 posts, Ford gets fired, and the rescue mission fails because there is not enough motivation on Ford's part. Once this thread gets more than 15 posts, a new level of "enough info" will be set by CaptainRead or John F.Q.
We hope this is enough info for you; if anything confuses you, go drink some tea, and then ask us, and we will consult Eddie and possibly tell you the answer...
P.S. We don't know how many people on here have read/listened to these books/radio series, so there is every possibility that this will flop, but don't forget, we have an Infinite Improbability Drive on our side!

Balloons are created as life support for birds on Earth. (By mice. Obviously.)

Name: Ursum
Planet: Vogsphere
Species: Vogon
Appearence: Like other Vogons: tall, long, saggy cream-colored body, pig-like snout.
Personality: Ursum is very innocent and naive. Unlike other Vogons of her kind, she is genuine and honest, and is hurt when people walk away from her, not wanting to hear her poetry.
The love of Ursum's life is poetry. She loves reading poetry out of Vogon poetry books, and also loves composing Vogon poetry and reading it to whoever is listening.
Random fact for HGTTG:
Polka-dotted Horses
Polka-dotted horses are EXTREMELY rare in the Universe. They are, in fact, NOT horses, despite their names. They are long, rainbow-polka-dotted-scaled reptiles, with a figure sort of like a Chinese dragon. They have very large eyes that can take pictures of things, like a camera. They were made by robots for the purpose of cleaning up deserts. Once the robots realized that the polka-dotted horses were useless, they destroyed all of the polka-dotted horses they could get their hands on. Only about 6 are left in the Universe. The only way to see them is to conjure them up with an Improbability Device. For an Improbability Device to conjure them up, the Improbability Percent has to be exactly at 41.08927184932628453128007439309171.
