'Ok...When you're ready.'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:18
He smiles and scoops her up, letting most of her weight be supported by his left arm. He gives her a quick kiss and heads down the stairs.
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:20
She puts her arms around his neck, 'You know, if I wasn't utterly terrified this would be kinda romantic...'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:26
He smiles, "Yeah, it would be. I'm sure it'll seem more romantic once we get to the bottom."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:28
'Be sure to tell me when that is...'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:31
He laughs then stops, "Sorry, not trying to make fun of you."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:31
She smiles, 'I thought you didn't like heights either?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:36
"Well, I'm no big fan of them, true. I mean, I don't plan to be a tightrope walker, but enclosed stairs aren't too bad." He shrugs, "Now, if they had been invisible..."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:38
'Then at least you wouldn't have had to carry me?' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:45
"Oh, I don't mind carrying you."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:47
She smiles, 'As long as I'm not too heavy for you' she pauses for a while, 'Are we nearly at the bottom?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:49
"Of course not, hon!"
He looks up and back down, thinks a moment, "Yeah, we should be there soon."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:50
'Just tell me when we are, 'K?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 12:58
"Sure."
A few minutes later he stops moving. "You can open your eyes now."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 12:59
'Sure?' she opens her eyes.
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:01
They are indeed on the ground floor. "Of course I am. See? Safe and sound."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:04
She smiles, 'Thought you might be trying to get me back for pushing you in the MBTT, s'all. Are you going to carry me back to the car, too?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:07
He grins, "I figured pulling you in was enough. Of course, I can start planning something else..." He starts walking to the car, still carrying her.
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:09
'I'd really rather you didn't...' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:10
"Well, you did bring it up."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:14
'So, I can look forward to some interesting things happening to my computer...?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:16
He stops beside her car, "Nah, I figured I'd go for the unexpected."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:17
'Just leave my car alone, 'K?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:19
"I wager you'd kill me in my sleep if I did something to it." He grins.
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:20
She grins, 'Oh no, I'd at least wait until you were awake...You're my husband, after all...'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:22
He laughs, "Ah, good to know that grants me certain privaleges."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:24
'Oh, absolutely,' she smiles, 'Incidentally, I haven't seen any tabloid journalists stalking us...Think they've given up?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:27
"I certainly hope so. With any luck they've found someone else to harrass."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:29
'Or Annie's having them all deported...' she smiles, 'Lunch?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:33
"Lunch sounds good." He gives her a kiss, and gently sets her back down.
[Deport them to... SeOCC!]
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:38
[Heh]
'Ok...Err...Restaurants...' she flicks through the guide, 'Ah, here we are...Short drive from here.'
[couple more]
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:42
"Oh? Whatcha find?"
"Hm. I wonder what Elven cuisine is like..."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:44
'No idea...I bet it's good, though.' she hand Josef the guide, 'It's the top one...Looks like a good place.'
[I've got no idea either, actually...Something elaborate and mainly vegetarian, I guess.]
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:46
[Kinda what I was thinking. Heh, I never know how much you've got worked out.]
He looks it over, "Sounds good to me. Let us away."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:48
'Ok...She looks at her dashboard, 'Might need to find one of those Elven petrol stations, first.'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:51
He flips throught he guide, "Hm. Nothing in here about it. I'll keep an eye out."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:52
She smiles, 'I did ask you to keep an eye out for one before...'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 13:57
He smiles sheepishly, "Well, yeah, true... I just didn't notice one..."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 13:58
'Well, keep a lookout...' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 14:00
He salutes sharply, "Yessir!"
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 14:02
'Sarcasm will get you nowhere...'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 14:06
He smiles, "Yes dear." He looks about as they drive.
"Er, that might be one over there..." He points to a rather nice building that seems to have very aesthetic pumps.
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 14:15
She nods, 'I think so...' she pulls in. It is, indeed, a petrol station. 'Well spotted,' she smiles.
[1 more.]
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 14:18
"Thank you." He looks around, "And this is the nicest, most impressive gas station I've ever been too. Kinda odd, in a way..."
GMC Military Arms
07-08-2003, 14:24
'Odd? You mean that they put so much effort in?'
The Most Glorious Hack
07-08-2003, 14:27
"Basically, yeah. Not used to them being so elaborate."
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:01
bump?
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:02
[Oh...It's my turn. Oops...]
'I hope it still works the same way...'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:06
[S'okay, been working on my Mercury thread... grrr...]
"I can't imagine it been too different. Insert nozzle and squeeze?"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:09
'I suppose...Good thing the display's in English, huh?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:17
He grins, "Ancient gas stations?"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:18
She smiles, 'Well...There might've been...'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:20
He chuckles, "Maybe. Want me to nab anything from the store?"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:23
She grins, 'A packet of Elven crisps, you mean?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:26
He nods, "Something like that. Or some Elvish Spring Water, perhaps?"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:28
'Sounds nice...I wonder if it exists. Should I check?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:29
"Tell ya what. Finish fueling up, and meet me inside."
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:30
''K.' After a little while, she heads into the shop.
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:35
He's standing inside, looking at a cooler. "All sorts of options..."
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:37
'Wow...From the falls, too...'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:41
He smiles, "Well, if we won't go to the falls, we can at least drink the falls..."
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:45
'Shall we try that, then?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:47
He nods, grabbing a couple from the cooler, "Sounds good to me. Something to munch on?"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 10:48
'See any crisps, at all?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 10:51
"Yeah, looks like theres a few... Hm. Whatta ya know? Elvin Crisps!"
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 11:13
'Salt and vinegar?'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 11:15
[1 more]
"Ah... why, yes. Here we go." He grabs one, and a BBQ flavored on for himself.
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 11:17
Alice steps up to the counter, 'Number four.' The attendant runs up their bill, and she hands her card over, 'So, off to the restaurant.'
The Most Glorious Hack
08-08-2003, 11:19
He nods, scooping up the crisps and water. "Sounds like a plan."
GMC Military Arms
08-08-2003, 11:22
'Ok, now, which way was it? She takes a sip of water, 'On second thoughts, let's finish this stuff off first.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 08:18
He munches a few crisps, "I think it was that-a-way, but we might as well finish first."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 08:19
'Ok...' she smiles, 'Enjoying things so far?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 08:24
He nods, "Wonderful city, wonderful company... yeah, I'd say I'm enjoying myself. You?"
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 08:26
She nods, 'It's great.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 08:33
He grabs the guide book and flips through it, "Wonder what else this city has..."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 08:40
'Well, there's the R&D labs...'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 08:49
He nods, "True. Could probably make a day of that."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 09:15
'Today, you mean?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 09:20
"We could, I was thinking of going tomarrow. Don't know how much time we could spend there, I guess."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 09:22
'Probably quite a while...There's a lot there that would interest you, I'm sure.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 09:25
He nods, "I'm sure, but I don't want you to be bored..."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 09:27
'I don't think I'll be bored,' she smiles, 'I do rather like my job.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 09:32
He nods, "Fair enough. Leave most of tomarrow for those then?"
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 09:36
She nods, 'Sounds good.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 09:40
He crumples up his bag and tosses it in the garbage, "Shall we?"
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 09:54
'Right...Off to eat something else...' she smiles, 'Thataway, you say?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 09:56
He grins, "Sure, we're allowed, it's a vacation." He looks at the road real quick and then nods, "Yeah, that's the right direction."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:02
They pull up outside the restaurant, 'Right, in we go.'
Inside it's pleasantly warm and airy; there's a lot of plants around, and the tables are quite far apart. A male Elf steps forward, 'Table for two, sir, ma'am?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:05
"Yes, two please."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:06
He nods, 'Right this way, please.' he seats them at a table and hands them their menus, 'I'll be along to take your order shortly.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:11
"Thank you." He pulls Alice's chair out for her, and pushes her in, then sits in his own, and looks over the menu.
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:15
'Wow...Elisa would love it here.' Alice smiles, 'It's pretty much all vegetarian.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:17
"Yeah, so would Vic*. Looks pretty good though."
[*Vic being Vegan...]
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:21
'Mmm...They've got everything again,' she smiles, turning over the menu, 'Seems a recurring theme..'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:24
"Yeah, it does. Almost makes me want to move here."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:25
'Maybe...' she smiles, 'I'm kinda attached to home, though.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:28
He nods, "Me too." He grins, "Perhaps a summer home."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:31
'Perhaps...' she smiles, 'So, what're you having?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:31
"Hm. They've got this insane salad over here that looks pretty good. And colorful."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:34
She nods, and glances down the page, 'Hey...Always wanted to try a stir fry, actually...'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:39
He nods, "Go for it."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:40
'Drinks?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:41
"Sure." He looks at the drink list, "Cocktails?"
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:42
'As long as you don't insist on only alcoholic components like Annie does...' Alice smiles, 'Or I'll end up giggling.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:49
He raises an eyebrow, "Oh really? That's pretty tempting, you know..."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 10:54
'I'm driving, remember?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 10:58
"I know how to drive. I just need to remember to drive on the wrong side of the road."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:00
'So you're really suggesting I should get silly-drunk?' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:01
He shrugs, "Well, the last time I saw you that silly, I was too tossed to remember. Remember?"
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:02
'No, strangely enough...'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:03
He blinks, "Good point. Ah well, your option hon."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:03
'Err...Ok, I suppose. Just remember it's the left lane, please.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:11
He smirks, "I'll remember. And, worse case, I'll get a cab or something for us."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:14
'Well, I'd rather not leave my car in the middle of town...Anyway, can you recommend anything?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:17
"Well, there's the ever popular Long Island Ice Tea, which is... um... 7 different types of alcohol blended together to taste like normal iced tea. It'd be efficiant, if nothing else."
[Couple more]
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:21
'Sounds interesting...Annie made me try a thing called Liquid Cocaine* once...Told me afterwards that she didn't like it either.' she grins ruefully.
[That'd be layered glass of Goldschlager, Jaegermeister and something called Rumpelmintz. And If I've spelled even one of those right, it's a miracle.]
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:23
[I think you nailed all three. Rumplemintz is evil, BTW]
Josef makes quite the face, "I can only imagine... that sounds dangerous."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:27
'It is...' she pauses, and looks at Josef, 'Hey, that wasn't the night I kissed her...'
[That's what the person who told me about it said...And you can't buy that or Goldslager in the UK...]
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:31
[Really? Hm. Well, the Mintz is like your avergae Peppermint Schnapps on crack. The smell will clean your sinuses.]
He grins, "I didn't say anything..."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:33
'I can see it in your eyes...' she smiles, 'And I'll have you know I was stone-cold sober.'
[Only on import from specialists, and I'm not that bothered about elaborate ways to get drunk]
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:35
[heh]
He smiles back, "Okay. Told you it didn't bother me."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:38
She smiles, 'Ok, so I'll have that iced tea thing...Shall we order?'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:41
He nods, "Sounds good."
He flags down the server, and places their order, getting normal iced tea for himself.
[1 more]
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:45
'Ok...Shouldn't be long.' she smiles, 'You know, I still haven't visited where you work. Not in real life, anyway.'
The Most Glorious Hack
09-08-2003, 11:47
"Hm. You're right. Of course, I haven't visited where I work lately, either." He grins, "We'll have to do that sometime when we get back."
He smirks, "No giant swimming pools there, so don't get your hopes up."
GMC Military Arms
09-08-2003, 11:49
'Maybe I could join lots of vending machine cups together with straws for the same effect,' Alice grins.
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 10:21
He chuckles, "Don't think it'd have quite the same effect. Certainly wouldn't be as deep."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 10:22
'Aw...'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 10:25
"I'm sure you'll find something equally amusing."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 10:33
'I could push you down the stairs...'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 10:36
He raises an eyebrow, "I don't think that would be particularly enjoyable... at least not for me."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 10:43
She grins, 'Well, you haven't exactly given me a lot of material to work with...'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 10:45
He nods, "I don't suppose some line about 'state secret' is going to cut it, eh?"
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 10:50
'Not at all.'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 10:53
He smiles, "Figured. Sad truth is, most of the stuff at work is IT related, which makes sense, I suppose. See, if you wanted to push me into a VR pool, I could give you all sorts of options."
He grins, "I have faith in you. I'm sure you'll figure something out."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 11:13
'Even if I have to learn to program VR world to do it...?' she grins, 'Well, it's my duty as your wife to push you into something, I guess.'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 11:15
"I'm sure some of the techs would be more than willing to give you a hand." He smirks, "I suppose it is your duty. You did it when we were dating, I wouldn't assume you'd stop now."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 11:19
'Well, perhaps I could just throw a bucket of water over you when you least expect it?'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 11:23
He laughs, "Always an option. I'll just have to keep a water balloon in my desk."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 11:31
'Hmm...I can see strategy coming into this.'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 11:33
He nods, smiling, "We'll need ground rules if it goes much further."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 11:41
'Before it gets to airstrikes, you mean?'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 11:47
"Hm... well, Reploid does sell those water carrying airplanes..." He grins, "No, I was more thinking certain areas should be off limits. I wouldn't like to be woken up by a bucket of water..."
[Short night, just 1 more]
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 11:51
'Well, obviously...And nowhere near my notepads, please.'
The Most Glorious Hack
10-08-2003, 11:53
He grins, and starts making a list, "Okay, notepads, electronics, and the bed are all off limits..." He thinks a moment, "Oh, and inside your car, too, I would assume..."
GMC Military Arms
10-08-2003, 12:15
'Absolutely.'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:06
"Okay, I think that should just about cover everything..."
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:09
'We could agree just to push each other into the bath or swimming pools...That'd make more sense.'
[Going soon]
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:15
He nods, "Sounds fair. Water guns?"
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:32
'At dawn?'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:36
He smirks, "Didn't know we were in a western."
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:40
She grins, 'You like Westerns?'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:43
He shrugs, "Seen a few. I like Sci-Fi better, but they're not too bad. A fav of yours?"
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:45
'After romantic comedies, yes.' she smiles, 'Not entirely sure why, I just have a thing for them.'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:47
He grins, "That's an odd combination. Ever found a romantic comedy western?"
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:52
She smiles, 'Would you believe yes?'
[GMC has an excellent film industry. And produces a lot of anime, too.]
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:54
"I wouldn't be terribly surprized, actually. I once saw a musical western..."
[There actually is one: Paint Your Wagon.]
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 13:56
She grins, 'And then of course there's Blazing Saddles...'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 13:58
"Well, that's just a classic, there."
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 14:01
['That's HEADLEY!']
'Oh, absolutely...'
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 14:07
["I would like to extend this laural, and hardy handshake..."]
Right about then, the waiter returns with drinks and meals. "Looks good..."
GMC Military Arms
11-08-2003, 14:10
['Yeah, but I shoot with this hand...']
'Mmm...Looks wonderful.' Alice smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
11-08-2003, 14:15
["It's twue! It's twue!"]
He takes a bite, "Tastes good too."

'Err...I don't think so. Why, looking to change that?' she grins.
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 08:50
He laughs, "I was just wondering the way the conversation was going. Sometimes your hints aren't all that subtle," he winks.

She grins, 'Why Josef, I don't know what you could mean by that...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 09:12
He smirks, "No, of course you don't."
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 09:14
'So, might I get from this that you...err...Wouldn't mind having us children soon-ish?'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 09:17
He thinks about it a moment, "No, not really. What do you considering 'soon-ish'?"
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 09:19
'Err...Within a year?'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 09:20
"Sure, sounds fine to me."
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 09:21
'Shall we think of some names, then?' she smiles.
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 09:39
He smiles, taking a drink of his tea, "We could... any ideas?"
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 09:43
'Not sure if it's a boy, but I definately think Anne-Marie for a girl...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 09:48
He thinks about that for a moment. "That sounds good."

"Well, we could always use Victor, as he helped as well."
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 10:00
'Could do...Hmm...'Victor Specter' sounds a little strange, though...'
The Most Glorious Hack

"Hrm, true. Too sing-songy..." He ponders a moment, "Jaimyn?"
[Was a college prof of mine, always liked the name]

12-08-2003, 10:07
The thinks for a moment, sounding it out, 'Yeah...Sounds good.' she grins, 'So we're having two, then.'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 10:11
He smiles, "We could. Of course, we're in trouble if they're both boys, or both girls. We'd have to come up with more names!"
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 10:13
'Should we have two backup names, then?' she thinks for a moment, 'Natalie?'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 10:15
"Lovely. And... erm... Geoff?"

The Most Glorious Hack

The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 10:35
He coughs, and adds softly, "Otherwise children would be unlikely..."

The Most Glorious Hack

GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 10:44
'They'll probably wind up making VR romantic comedies or something...'
The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 10:50
"That would be interesting. Hope they invite us to the premiers."
GMC Military Arms
12-08-2003, 10:52

The Most Glorious Hack
12-08-2003, 11:02
"Ooo... that could be interesting."
He grins, "They'd probably out super our supercar, too."
GMC Military Arms

'Well, we get freezing fog in witer sometimes...You should keep a dust mask on you, just in case. There's always warnings about it.'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-08-2003, 11:07
He raises an eyebrow, "Freezing fog? Can't say as I've ever heard of that..."
GMC Military Arms
14-08-2003, 11:10
'Ah. It's made of suspended ice crystals...You can't see a thing, even with radar or a thermal scope, and if you breathe in much it melts in your lungs and you drown. That's what the dust mask is for...And that big filter in the engine.'
[This actually happens in Russia]

He still looks pretty surprized, "Wow..." He smirks, "Lovely country you've got here..."

'Hey...At least it's not earthquakes or volcanoes...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-08-2003, 11:21
He nods, "I suppose there's something to be said for that. Deadly fog just seems a bit more creepy, you know?"
GMC Military Arms

She grins, 'Kinda a horror movie thing?'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-08-2003, 11:28
He nods, "Yeah, kinda. So, how long do I have before I need a mask?"
GMC Military Arms
14-08-2003, 11:33
'Oh, should be at least a month yet, and most drivers carry a spare anyway, if you're caught short.' she frowns, 'Which isn't something I'd really like to chance, so we'll get you one as soon as we can, 'K?'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-08-2003, 11:38
"We can do that once we get back. Trust me, I have no desire to be done in by fog."
He smirks, "Unless its some kind of psycho-evil fog from Planet X."
GMC Military Arms
14-08-2003, 11:52
'Or that fog that turns people inside-out...'
The Most Glorious Hack
14-08-2003, 11:55

'Or a musical number, obviously.' she smiles.

'Bet you were wondering what was so scary about fog, huh?'
[And to think we get pissed when a lightning strike takes down our road...]
The Most Glorious Hack

"Wuf. I imagine that's quite the chore. Actually, some of the roads through the mountains get pretty nasty back home too."
GMC Military Arms
15-08-2003, 09:41
'They generally get the army in to handle stuff like that,' she grins, 'Which usually means whoever's doing service at the time. Me, for example. Luckily, they didn't make me work on Silver Bridge.'
