'Maybe something to do with that '"Iron Chef" thing we were talking about?'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 09:44
"Oh, that's a great idea. We were trying to come up with more judges anyway, weren't we?"
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 09:45
Alice nods, and smiles at her dad, 'It'd be fun...'
He grins, 'Sounds like it.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 09:51
"Now we just have to talk to Annie about it."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 09:53
'She'll do it,' Alice smiles, 'It's her kind of thing.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 09:56
He nods, "She always struck as being a bit competitive..."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 09:59
Alice nods, 'She is...You should see the trophies she's got at home...Gymnastics, martial arts, pair skating, swimming...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:07
"I can imagine. Maybe we should get a little trophy for this compitition." He grins, "Never won one before..."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:11
'Sounds like a good idea.' she smiles, 'I was never into anything you could win things for either...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:22
"Same here. Well, I rather liked baseball, but was never on a championship team."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:22
'National sport?'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:25
"Yeah, but I wasn't in the majors or anything... just little league."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:30
['Coming together as men to reward the act of running in a circle...']
'Sounds fun.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:33
[Well, I like it...]
He nods, "It is. I tried for awhile to set up a softball league at work, but that didn't work out so well, as you can imagine..."
[Computer geeks not being the most athletic in general]
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:35
[GTA: VC. Congressman Shrub says that.]
'I think so. Annie's teaching Shiala a bit of gymnastics, actually.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:40
[Ah. Haven't played VC in awhile. Sounds like something he'd say tho]
"Hm." He thinks about that a bit. "I wager she's got an impressive sense of balance."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:43
Alice nods, 'She's pretty good. And she likes showing off a little, too.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:45
He smiles, "I'm not surprized. She's rather outgoing."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:46
'Actually, she's a lot like Annie.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:50
He nods, "I noticed that. I look forward to talking to her some more."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 10:53
'I'm sure you'll have plenty of chances.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 10:58
He smiles at her, "I sure hope so." He takes a sip of the wine.
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:02
[It's good wine. Imported, obviously.]
'She'll probably give you one of those the next time you see her.' she points to a painting of a sunset over the fireplace.
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 11:07
"That'd be nice. I seem to remember her saying she might."
He looks at the glass, "Good pick."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:10
Alice nods, 'Talented, isn't she?'
Alice's father shows Josef the bottle, 'Don't have much of a wine industry here...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 11:13
He nods to Alice, "Quite."
He looks at the bottle, "Oh, a very good year." He hands the bottle back, "We don't either. In fact, don't have much alcohol worth anything."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:15
'Really? I thought every nation with a cold climate had alcoholic drinks...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 11:18
"Well, we do. They just suck. I have no idea why, but we tend to make some really poor alcohol. We are looking to start importing some of your beer, however."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:22
He grins 'That's a very good idea.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 11:26
[1 more then vanish]
"Indeed. I've had the pleasure of sampling some of your stout. I'd hate to miss out on it when I'm in the Hack."
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:29
[Me too]
'I go for lager, myself. That's good too.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-07-2003, 11:33
He nods, "Had some of that too. I prefer the heavier stuff, but regardless, I haven't had a bad glass yet."
[Hm. Just realised something. Is the beer in GMC room temp?]
GMC Military Arms
12-07-2003, 11:36
[Naw, he's chilled it.]
'Shouldn't think you ever will. Some of the old breweries here are hundreds of years old.'
[Budwar is 800...]
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 12:36
He looks a little surprized, "Really? Then again... you're a much older country..."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 12:39
[And the oldest RL company that isn't a brewery is...Beretta!]
'Well, it's not like there's much else to do here.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 12:52
[I think Colt is the oldest American...]
He smiles, "Whereas we spend too much time jacked in. Exercise equipment with VR set-ups are really big sellers..."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 12:54
'Sounds kinda fun.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 12:56
He nods, "It is, but kinda shows our obsession with tech. Using a treadmill in front of a TV isn't good enough I guess."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:00
She smiles, 'I do a fair bit of exercise; I go to the gym, though...'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:03
"I prefer biking*, but there's a gym in the basement where I work so it the weather's bad I go there."
[*At least I think that's what I decided for him...]
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:05
'I've always loved swimming, actually. You?'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:08
He smirks, remembering the tour of her lab. "Yeah. Had to relearn a bit to get used to this," waves his left arm a bit, "but I like it."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:10
'I can imagine it would be a little odd to begin with.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:14
"Yeah, I listed to the left pretty bad there at first. I'm told it was quite funny..."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:16
She grins at the thought.
Her father nods, 'Yeah, it's hard getting used to something like that.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:19
He nods to her father. "I'm guessing that getting used to minimal depth perception took awhile..."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:22
He nods, 'Picking up cutlery becomes more difficult, certainly.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:26
"I was more thinking of pouring hot coffee..."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:27
'Not really one for coffee, myself. I've always preferred tea.'
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:33
"Ah yes, well, the point stands, I suppose." He thinks a moment, "The other trick, for me, would have been getting used to the lack of feeling. I broke more than a few mugs at first."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:35
He grins, 'Can't say I had that problem.'
[One more.]
The Most Glorious Hack
13-07-2003, 13:38
He smirks, "Be glad. Luckily, I avoided valuable things."
GMC Military Arms
13-07-2003, 13:44
'Should think you got through a few TV remotes, though...'
[That's me out.]
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 12:47
He nods, "Oh yeah. That's part of why I wired my house to be voice operated."
He smirks, "Of course, I figured out how to use the arm right after I set things up."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 12:48
'Left-handed, then?'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 12:49
"Was ambidexterous, favoring the left. Now I favor the right."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 12:57
'I can imagine.'
Alice smiles, 'I'm right handed, myself.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:02
He grins, "Having a metal hand makes the left more useful at times... I don't have any potholders, for instance."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:05
'And I guess you're good at getting things out of fires?' Alice's mother smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:08
He nods. "And the freezer too. One of these days I'll probably see about getting some sensation put in. Maybe an on/off switch, so I can still do party tricks."
[Of course, he'd far prefer having his real arm, but...]
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:11
Alice smiles, 'I did say we might be able to help you with that...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:17
"Hm, that's right, you did. We'll have to look into that sometime." He smiles, "I suspect that'll take some getting used to as well..."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:18
Smile, 'I'm sure you wouldn't mind, though.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:21
"Not in the slightest." He gets thoughtful for a bit, "It's kinda weird having all sensation just end like that.."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:23
'Can't really imagine it...It doesn't give you any feedback at all?'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:26
"There's a weird... um... pulse? that I 'feel' when the fingers come in contact with something, but that's it. So, if I'm trying to get a firm grip... I estimate..."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:30
'Ah...As longs as there's something, that gives us something we can work with. It shouldn't be too difficult, really.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:32
"Well, that's pretty cool." He smiles, "Sometimes I forget that you actually have a biomed sector."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:35
'Biomech, even.' she smiles, 'I'd just need a few schematics, if you've got any...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:39
"Well, don't have any in my back pocket," he grins, "But I can get them for you."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:40
'Great...I was just wondering if they were secret or something.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:44
"Uh... not as such... the mechanisms are pretty advanced though."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:45
She smiles, 'Sounds interesting.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:48
"It certainly was. The problems we had was with getting intensity right. For some reason we could wire the movement, but getting sensation right was... difficult." He frowns a little, "It usually ended up being too intense..."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:54
'Sounds a little unpleasant...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 13:57
"You could call it that. Part of why I called it quits and went for the current version... I think it was after I blacked out once..."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 13:59
She blinks, 'Eep.'
'Well, I shouldn't think we'll have any problems like that; we've been doing work on electronic / organic interfaces for years.' She smiles, 'And Shiala's never complained about hers...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:03
"Hadn't thought about her, but that's a good point." He raises his glass slightly, "Here's hopin'".
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:10
Alice clinks her glass against his, as do her mother and father, 'Yeah, here's hoping.' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:14
He smiles, "Thanks. I'm actually looking forward to this."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:16
'So am I.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:19
"I can get you those specs when we get back, but I wager anything else would take a bit of time."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:21
'Oh yes, and I've have to run it past the Supreme Commander's office, obviously.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:27
"Hadn't thought of that*, but I guess it makes sense. Would it be better to wait until after I'm a citizen?"
[*Considering he went completely extra-national...]
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:33
SHe nods, 'It'd help, certainly.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:36
"Fair enough, we can wait. I've managed this long, another month or two won't hurt."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:46
'We seem to be planning a lot, huh?'
Alice's mother smiles, 'That's always a good sign.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 14:48
He grins, "I was just thinking that I'm all set for projects for... oh... the next year or so."
[Ships, supercar, arm...]
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 14:59
She smiles sweetly, 'I guess we'll be spending a lot of time together, huh?'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 15:02
He grins, "I can think of worse fates."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 15:07
'Hey!'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 15:09
He smiles, "Aw... just teasing..."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 15:09
She gives him a look, but she's smiling, 'I thought so.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 15:16
[1 more]
He grins, then remembering that her father is quite close, decides to take a drink of wine instead.
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 15:21
'I see you two are pretty happy together.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-07-2003, 15:24
He smiles like one would expect of someone just engaged, "Yeah. Haven't been this happy in... well... ever."
GMC Military Arms
14-07-2003, 15:28
Alice smiles, 'Me neither...'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 09:31
"And before too long, it'll be 'official'."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 09:36
She smiles, 'Is official happiness better, then?'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 09:41
"Um... well... dunno." He grins, "Just had to bring in logic, eh?"
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 09:45
She smiles, 'I'll go for whicher happiness this is.'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 09:50
He smiles, "Sounds good to me."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 09:51
Alice's mother grins, 'Awww.'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 09:55
He blushes slightly, "Well... er... um..."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:00
Alice does too. 'Aw, mum...'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:04
Feeling the pregnant pause, "Ah... well... ah, yes, quite the meal you prepared."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:05
'Thank you.'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:11
He smiles weakly, "You're welcome."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:14
'Ice cream?' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:15
"Sure, what kind do you have?"
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:24
'Toffee with chocolate chips sound good to you?'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:29
"That sounds absolutely wonderful."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:32
Alice mother returns with a few bowls of ice cream, putting one in each place, 'Enjoy.'
Western Asia
15-07-2003, 10:34
OOC: Hack, TM. Sorry about it in advance.
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:34
"Thank you." He takes a few bites, and is quite pleased with it.
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:35
OOC: Hack, TM. Sorry about it in advance.
It's cool. Looking into it.
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:35
'It's good, isn't it?'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:40
"Yes, it is. Did you make it yourself?"
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:43
'No...' she smiles, 'There's a guy who makes it near here, he's got a shop.'
<Josef's in a very old-English village; lots of winding streets, and half the roads are cobbled.>
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:52
[1 more post... dialup + lightning = bad. Be back in a few hours, probably]
"Ah, he's quite talented. Good mixture."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 10:54
[Seeing my fiancee, so I'll be off by then.]
'Yeah, we usually get his. It's great.'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-07-2003, 10:55
[Have a good trip, then]
"I can see why. Better than any I've made."
GMC Military Arms
15-07-2003, 11:07
'You make ice cream? I'll have to try some.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 10:47
"Well, I haven't in a few years, but I'm sure I'd pick it right back up." He smiles, "Well... it'll at least be edible..."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 10:50
<So, what was the congrats about?>
'I bet it'll be great.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 10:53
[As I said, it'll make sense later. Be patient.]
He smiles, "Well, I hope so. I focused more on pastries."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 10:56
<Mysterious...>
Alice grins, 'You'll have to do a whole meal some time...That'd be great.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 10:57
He grins, "Aw... you don't want seven dessert courses?"
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 10:58
'I...err...Doubt it would be much good for my waistline...'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:02
He chuckles, "I suppose that's a point. I'm sure I can manage a real dinner sometime."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:04
'It'd be nice.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:06
"I'll work on that. I'll have to do some shopping of course..."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:10
'This evening? I'm sure we could pick up some stuff on the way home.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:12
"Ah... you want one tonight..." He smiles, "I can do that."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:16
'Well, I was just hoping, if it wouldn't be too much trouble...'
<I think they'll be heading home soon.>
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:18
[Fair enough]
"Of course not. Have anything in particular in mind?"
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:21
'Nothing specific,' she smiles, 'Unless you're good with pasta?'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:23
He smiles, "Well, we had pasta the other night*, remember?"
[*Of course, him proposing may have overshadowed things like what dinner was]
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:24
She smiles, 'Oh yeah...I just wasn't sure if you'd cooked it.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:28
He nods. "Took most of the day, actually. I'd forgotten how tedeous is was to make the noodles..."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:29
'You made them?' she smiles, 'Wow.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:33
He smiles a little sheepishly, "Well... I wanted everything to be perfect..."
He grins a little, "But I drew the line at milling the flour myself."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:37
She grins, 'You mean you didn't build a windmill? I feel left out.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:40
"You're the mechanical engineer, so building windmills would be your job."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:43
'So it would have to have computer-controlled sails, then?'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:47
"I could manage that. Maybe have some little robots operating it..."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:52
She grins, 'That'd be kinda fun.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 11:54
"Let me guess, next, you'll want to grow the grain too. Computerized combines?"
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 11:55
She grins, 'I guess we've got our retirement sorted out, anyway.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:06
He chuckles, "Spending all our time tweaking farm equipment, and never really farming?"
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 12:20
'Sounds about right, yes.' she looks out the window, 'Oh, it's getting dark, we'd better be going soon.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:27
He follows her gaze, "Hm. Probably should. Bit of a drive."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 12:35
Alice stands up, and hugs her mother and father, 'I'll see you again soon.'
'You're off now?'
She nods, 'Snow's getting a little heavy outside.'
'Well, take care, sweetie.'
'Ok.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:37
Snow again? he thinks, standing up as well. "It was a pleasure to meet you both," he says to Alice's parents.
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 12:42
'Yourself as well.' Alice's father shakes Josef's hand firmly.
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:45
He returns the shake without getting into a crushing contest. "I guess I'll be seeing you again before too horribly long."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 12:47
'I hope so...And then you'll be wearing a smart suit and top hat, I suppose?'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:51
He smiles, "Something along those lines. I wager I'll get some... friendly input on the matter."
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 12:53
'I'm sure you will. Anyway, I won't keep you. Have a good journey home.'
The Most Glorious Hack
17-07-2003, 12:59
"We will, take care." He wanders out to the car with Alice.
GMC Military Arms
17-07-2003, 13:09
It's a pretty uneventful drive back home, stopping off to buy some food at a supermarket on the way, along with some still-warm freshly baked bread. Alice smiles at Josef as they sit in the car, 'That went pretty well.'
