It begins with the five travelers deciding to go to "Milliways" (the Restaurant at the End of the Universe). Along the way they face Vogons and the Police who are pursuing their leader for kidnapping himself. They do eventually reach the restaurant, but things are not quite what they seem.]]> 2016-09-20 17:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/darien_dennis/hqo8rrfumea9/wish/125178096 darien_dennis https://padlet.com/darien_dennis/hqo8rrfumea9/wish/125183049 The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was written by Douglas Adams.]]> 2016-09-20 17:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/darien_dennis/hqo8rrfumea9/wish/125183049 darien_dennis https://padlet.com/darien_dennis/hqo8rrfumea9/wish/131196496 "We have a saying up here.

In this world one of the luxuries that the average humanoid being can experience is the pleasantries of a sentient elevator. This specific elevator, however, is not in the mood to go up, so they have a bit of an argument. This is an example of a character versus character conflict.

Which is why it was eventually decided to cut through the whole tangled problem and breed an animal that actually wanted to be eaten and was capable of saying so very clearly and distinctly. And here I am."
