The Most Glorious Hack
15-08-2003, 10:33
He smiles, "I think I'll save it for special occations. Or highly sarcastic situations..."
GMC Military Arms
15-08-2003, 10:36
'Aw...You'd never be sarcastic to lil' me, would you?'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-08-2003, 10:39
He grins, "No moreso than I have in the past."
GMC Military Arms
15-08-2003, 10:41
[1 more...V. tired, possibly from trying to stop drinking Red Bull on night shifts.]
'Somehow, that doesn't exactly fill me with joy.'
The Most Glorious Hack
15-08-2003, 10:43
[Oog... that'll do it...]
"Well, you have every right to be sarcastic back."
He smirks and points to her drink, "That'll fll you with something akin to joy. Good enough?"
GMC Military Arms
15-08-2003, 10:46
She looks at it, then takes a sip.
[And I've never had one, so you'd etter handle the taste.]
The Most Glorious Hack
15-08-2003, 10:48
[When made properly, it tastes exactly like normal unsweetened ice tea. I assume the Elves are making it right.]
"Well?"
GMC Military Arms
15-08-2003, 10:50
She smiles, 'It's...It's really nice, actually. Can't taste the alcohol, even.'
[Thump...zzzzzzz.]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 08:46
He nods, "That's how it's supposed to taste." He grins, "There's a reason why they usually limit how many you can have..."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 08:52
'So, how many? Just this one?' she smiles, 'I have absolutely no idea what my tolerence for alcohol is, other than that it's less than Annie's. I don't tend to drink unless I'm with her.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 08:54
"Well, most everybody's tolerence is less than Annie's... I think the limit is usually two or three. Let's just see how silly you get after one."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 08:56
She grins, 'I hope I don't get too silly...Wouldn't want to embarass you. Or spoil tonight.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:00
He smiles, "Well, perhaps we should just limit you to one then."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:04
She smiles, 'Just don't ask Annie for any anecdotes about when I've been silly on previous occasions...'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:05
He grins, "Aw... now you've peaked my curiosity."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:10
Alice smiles, 'Well, ask her if you like...I'm not so hot on details.'
[It's mostly kinda sweet, actually...Crying and / or snuggles.]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:15
[awww... well, less crying now.]
He takes a drink from his tea, "Eh, perhaps someday."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:18
She nods, 'Perhaps. I'm sure she'll invite you out sometime.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:23
"That would be nice. She's fun to hang out with."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:26
Alice smiles, 'You won't get any arguement from me.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:29
He smirks, "Of course, she'd probably get me drunk so she'd have stories to tell you."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:31
She nods, 'She might. Try to behave...'
[Shouldn't think Josef would get any snuggling, though...]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:36
[Heh, probably not.]
He smiles, "Oh, but of course. Wouldn't want to embarrass myself... too much..."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:41
She laughs, 'Hopefully not at all...'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:43
He smirks, "Hopefully, yes. However, there's always a good chance I will."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:45
'Well, we managed pretty well together a few weeks back, huh?'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:48
"Well, that's what Annie says. Memory's still a bit foggy..."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 09:49
'Me too.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 09:56
He smiles, "Well, that could be considered a good sign, I guess."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:02
She smiles, 'Err...Well, we can hope so, anyway.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:06
He nods, "Or, at least Annie had a good time, I'm sure."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:08
'Well, Elisa was there, so I doubt anything too embarassing happened.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:10
He blinks, "She was? Hm... right, yeah she was..."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:13
'She gets embarassed pretty easily, so I doubt there was anything really out there going on.'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:20
He smiles, "You can too, sometimes."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:22
Alice smiles, 'Not as easily as Elisa, believe me...It's either that or it shows up more when she blushes, because her skin's pale...'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:29
He nods, "Good point."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:34
'Anyway, I don't think she's really into drunken antics.'
['S true.]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:39
He nods, "Me neither. Of course, I don't imagine we were dancing with lampshades on our head either."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:43
'Might've been fun,' she grins.
[I'm out soon...Maybe I'll finally catch up on my sleep...Some 'day off.']
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:46
He chuckles, "Well, I'm not much of a dancer... of course, that might make it more amusing..."
[Mmmm... sleep...]
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:51
'Oh, you should see Annie and Elisa dance...They're great together.' she smiles brightly, 'Maybe you'd like to learn with me?'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 10:54
"That's a good idea," he says smiling, "I'd love to learn with you."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 10:57
She grins, 'Great...Annie's taught me a little, but I'm sure there's still plenty of room for improvement...'
[And learning to dance from a psychic probably saves a lot of stood-on toes...]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 11:04
"I guess we did a passable job at the reception." He smiles at her, "You were pretty graceful."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 11:06
She smiles, 'Thanks...It kinda helps that we're similar height, I guess...'
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 11:12
He nods, "I suppose that makes sense. Hope I didn't crush your feet..."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 11:13
She shakes her head, 'You weren't that bad, actually...'
[1 more]
The Most Glorious Hack
16-08-2003, 11:18
He smiles, "You're kind to say that."
GMC Military Arms
16-08-2003, 11:20
She grins, 'Maybe I was just too happy to notice...'
The Most Glorious Hack
18-08-2003, 12:42
He smirks, "You're really kind to say that."
GMC Military Arms
18-08-2003, 12:45
'No...I really thought you were good at it...'
[Only one more...This is one of those 'bed soon' times]
The Most Glorious Hack
18-08-2003, 12:51
[Kinda figured]
He smiles a little self-consciously, "Well, thank you. It was quite nice, wasn't it?"
GMC Military Arms
18-08-2003, 12:52
She nods, 'Something else we can do tonight, I suppose?'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 02:04
"Go dancing? Sure, that sounds like it would be fun."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 02:11
'Well, not so much go dancing as stay in...' she smiles hopefully, 'Just the two of us?'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 02:18
He smiles, "Ah, well, that would be an even better idea. Perhaps pick up some music on the way back?"
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 02:20
She smiles, 'That gets a 'yay' from me. Something romantic, though.' she grins, 'And having seen some of your T-shirts, I should probably sort that out.'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 02:37
He laughs a little, "You don't want a Disaster Area love ballad?"
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 02:40
'Does such a thing exist?'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 02:50
"Well, it's not your typical ballad, granted..." he grins.
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 02:55
'I was actually thinking something a little more...Well...Classical?'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 03:00
He nods, "That makes sense. Something nice, with strings."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 03:07
She nods, 'Hope I bought that evening dress you liked...'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 03:22
He thinks for a moment, "I seem to remember you packing it. Hopefully I brought something appropriate..."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 03:23
'Your tux?' she smiles at the thought, 'It'll be just like our wedding again...'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 03:31
"That's a wonderful idea!"
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 03:32
She smiles happily, 'I think this deserves another 'yay.' It's going to be great.'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 03:41
He raises his glass slightly towards her before taking a drink, "Yes, definately deserves another 'yay'."
[Aww... aren't they cute?]
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 03:46
She smiles, 'Yay.' pause, 'Dessert?'
[If you think that's cute, you should see the OOC version of Annie and Elisa's first meeting. You just want to hug Elisa...]
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 03:58
He glances at his largely empty plate, "Sure, that'd be nice."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:02
'Some kind of toffee thing?'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:06
He smiles, "Should have guessed."
He grabs a handy dessert menu and looks it over, "Ah... how about this?" He points to a pastry-type thing featuring toffee.
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:07
She smiles, and nods, 'Toffee is good.'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:24
"I've noticed that you're a fan." He flags down the waiter again, and orders the dessert, and two coffees.
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:25
'I am indeed,' Alice smiles, 'But only sparingly...Have to watch my waist.'
[Sleep soon]
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:28
[Same here... bout 1/2 hour. I'm just glad I found those damn iron prices, heh]
He grins, "That sounds suspiciously like one of those comments where no matter what I say, it's the wrong thing..."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:31
She grins, 'You'll find the easy way out is to say nothing. Or be nice to me, that works too...'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:33
He smiles, nods, and takes a drink of his tea. After waiting for a few moments, he adds, "You look lovely, hon. I wouldn't change a thing."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:34
She blushes, 'Thank you.'
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:40
"It's true. It was one of the reasons I made sure I was able to make it to the SHIVA dedication. I wanted to meet you in person."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:41
She blinks, 'Really?'
[1 more]
The Most Glorious Hack
20-08-2003, 04:43
He nods, "Yeah. I mean, I was really interested in the project, of course, but I was smitten with you when I first saw you talking about it."
GMC Military Arms
20-08-2003, 04:44
She smiles happily, blushing more. 'I never thought I could have that effect on someone...'
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 04:52
He smiles, "Well, you did. And do. And you're cute when you blush."
GMC Military Arms
21-08-2003, 04:54
'I don't think I can get any redder...' she smiles, 'I love you.'
OOC:
Sorry to hijack this, but I'm a little crept out by all this. I think it must be the light of day that does it to me. By night, when I write all my rp stuff and my freelance stuff for WW etc, guys roleplaying love scenesdoesn't even faze me. Hmm. Time to stop taking those sanity pills.
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 05:03
He chuckles slightly, "And I love you too..."
He starts to say something else, but the waiter returns with the dessert and coffees. He clears his throat slightly, thanks the waiter, and shares a smile with Alice.
GMC Military Arms
21-08-2003, 05:08
[Hmm...Think we should skip ahead soon to bring this somewhere closer to 'now?' Annie's daughter is at least eighteen months old...]
'More of that delicious coffee...Josef, you're spoiling me.'
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 05:19
He smiles, "I told you we'd have a ton waiting for us..."
[Sure. How close to now are you thinking? After Archangel? Technically, we could just close this down, fun as it is.]
GMC Military Arms
21-08-2003, 05:21
[Maybe start a new one? It is getting to forum-killing length...And yeah, after Archangel]
'Thanks.'
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 05:30
He smiles and has the waiter add on a shipment of a poud of their coffee to the bill.
[Heh... just because it's 168 pages? But, you've got a point. Fair enough. You want to start it?]
GMC Military Arms
21-08-2003, 05:31
[Yeah, why not. I'll think of something tomorrow, K?]
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 05:36
[Sounds good to me. Give me time to post in other threads, heh.]
GMC Military Arms
21-08-2003, 05:37
['K <Plays bugle for thread> Want to L0X0R it?]
The Most Glorious Hack
21-08-2003, 05:49
[Ah, and so it ends.]
[Of course... not like a lock would slow us down, heh]
