GPF Archive: Monday, December 2, 2002 Ki: Sharon! You scared the heck out of me! / Sharon: Sorry. Coffee's still soaking into my veins... / Ki: This is an, um, DIFFERENT look for you... / Sharon: I've been up all night restoring back-ups. I'll get cleaned up later. / Sharon: What ? / Ki: A disturbing yet frighteningly true mental image...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 3, 2002 Sharon: Yeegh... I guess I do look pretty rough. I wasn't expecting anyone to come in this early... / Ki: It's okay. / Sharon: I guess none of you guys have ever seen me first thing in the morning. Let's just say I clean up better. / Ki: I understand completely. / Sharon: My old roommate used to do my hair 'til she moved out, and I had to learn how she did it. And i need a ton of makeup to cover these stupid freckles. / Ki: And your contacts are at home ? / Sharon: Nope. I haven't put 'em in yet. They're specially made. I got tired of starting fires and signaling rescue planes with THESE...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 4, 2002 Ki: I guess there's still a lot I don't know about you, Sharon... / Sharon: It's okay, we'll learn more about each other in time. / Sharon: For example, I know you're asian, but forgive me if I don't know where you're originally from... / Ki: I was born in the states, but mom's from Hong Kong and dad's from Tokyo. / Sharon: I bet that led to an interesting childhood... / Ki: Let's just say I'm culturally diverse. Um, your palm is playing the Star Wars cantina theme... ? / Sharon: Oh, did I fail to mention I'm diabetic ? You're not afraid of NEEDLES, are you ? / Ki: I am NOW...
GPF Archive: Thursday, December 5, 2002 Ki: You're diabetic ? Do you have to take insulin ? / Sharon: Thankfully, no. I'm type II, so I control it with diet, exercise, and medicine. / Sharon: You should have seen me a few years ago. I lost a ton of weight. I keep a picture in my wallet to remind me where I came from. / Ki: My, you've... CHANGED... / Sharon: Oh, my bad. I meant to get the one taken with the panoramic lens...
GPF Archive: Friday, December 6, 2002 Ki: Wow... And to think I thought I knew you! / Sharon: And then there's my bad temper and the fact i'm allergic to everything... / Sharon: I'm a real mess, Ki. I'll admit that. But you learn to deal with things and get on with life. / Ki: It's good to see you have a sense of humor about it. / Sharon: You HAVE to! If I can't laugh at myself, what good am I ? There's that cliché about life handing you lemons... And I prefer to make lemon meringue pie instead of lemonade... / Ki: I'll stick with the lemonade. I can't bake my way out of a paper bag... / Sharon: You either ? Let's hope Dwayne never wants us to bake for customers!
 
GPF Archive: Saturday, December 7, 2002 Sharon: I should really get home and get cleaned up. The guys will be coming in soon... / Ki: And I need to finish this run. / Sharon: Say.. Do you and Nick have plans tonight ? If not, maybe we could plan a girl's night out ? / Ki: Actually, we have plans tomorrow, but no tonight. You're on! / Ki: We could go shopping, get dinner, catch a movie, Nick and I know of a place with a few pool tables... / Ki: Or we can trash all that and have our own little LAN party... / Sharon: Warcraft III or Quake ?
GPF Archive: Sunday, December 8, 2002 Nick: Been doing a little redecorating, Fred? / Fred: What gave you that idea?
GPF Archive: Monday, December 9, 2002 Nick: Fred, we have to talk. / Fred: I thought you were going out with the missus. / Nick: Ki and Sharon are doing stuff tonight, and YOU have some explaining to do. / Fred: If I must, but I thought iambic pentameter was over your head... / Nick: I'm not talking about your online literature class... / Fred: Look, I went through this with Fooker. I DON'T do toilets. I use the bushes out the window... / Nick: YOU WRECKED MY APARTMENT! / Fred: Oh, THAT. Why didn't you say so?
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 Nick: Fred, why did you trash my apartment? / Fred: It was too clean. Fooker's was NEVER this sterile. / Nick: That's because he had no sense of personal hygiene. You have to clean this mess up. / Fred: No can do, round boy. / Fred: We live here now, and we require a level of decay and disarry to survive. After all, it WAS from Fooker's squalor I gained my sentience. / Nick: And I suppose MY health is of secondary concern? / Fred: You serve a purpose. You connect the cable modem to my computer.
GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 Nick: Look, this isn't Fooker's apartment. It's MINE. And I say you can't leave this mess here. / Fred: And I say you should defrag your monitor or whatever it is you geeks do. / Nick: DEGAUSS. You degauss a monitur and DEFRAG a hard drive. / Fred: Yeah, whatever. It's all just a substitute for sex, since you can't get any. / Nick: Ki and I are waiting by CHOICE! / Fred: Yeah, sure. Ooh, what's this ? I think I just swallowed and digested your "s" key! Could "e" be next ? / Persephone: That was a nice jaunt to the dumpster. I hope the boys didn't miss me!
 
GPF Archive: Thursday, December 12, 2002 Persephone: What in the world is going on here ?! / Nick&Fred: HE STARTED IT! / Fred: Nick went ballistic over a little trash in the floor... / Nick: And the walls, furniture, and ceiling! This place is a total dump! / Fred: I told you! We need a decomposing environment to rest and recuperate! / Nick: And I'm going to need a hospital trip to treat salmonella! / Persephone: Oh, my... it seems this calls for a little arbitration... / Nick: I'll spray you with Lysol! / Fred: My slime is in your hair gel!
GPF Archive: Friday, December 13, 2002 Perspephone: Okay, since you boys can't resolve this peacefully, I will act as a neutral arbiter. / Nick: Hmph. / Fred: THIS I gotta see. / Persephone: Nick, Fred and I DO require a decomposing environment to survive, but it must not be at the sacrifice of your health. Fred will clean up the mess. / Fred: What ? / Persephone: However, we WILL require somewhere we can rest. I psopose you provide us with a small box of garbage on the enclosed porch. That way, it is away from you yet still available. / Nick: Sounds fair. / Persephone: Also, since we do eat your food and use your facilities, Fred will pay half your rent, just like we did with Fooker. / Fred: Hold on here! When did this go to MONEY ?!
GPF Archive: Saturday, December 14, 2002 Persephone: I hope this little incident won't sour our staying here, Nick... / Nick: Nope. We just need to establish some ground rules. / Persephone: Fred is highliy intelligent, but at times he can be stubborn. / Nick: Actually, YOU'RE the one who surprised me, Persephone. / Nick: Usually, you're quiet. / Persephone: Fred has more experience with the world, so I tend to follow his lead. But sometimes he needs a cooler head to help him out. / Persephone: Um, perhaps you should help him with the cleaning. We don't tend to react well with cleaning products... / Fred: ACK! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!
GPF Archive: Sunday, December 15, 2002 Seems like it's been forever since we've been on a date... / Considering all we've been through lately... / I think you're going to like this place. This is the best Japanese steakhouse in town... / I don't know...You know me and new restaurants... / Don't worry. You can get a steak, and I can get sushi. The best of both worlds. / Sushi? Raw Fish? I guess I can't be too surprised... / After all, you seem to like your steaks rare... / Slap a Band-Aid on 'em and put 'em back out to pasture. Heh. But sushi's different. / FWOOSH / You didn't say anything about a pyrotechnics display... / Wait 'til you see the onion volcano and the shrimp bunny...
GPF Archive: Monday, December 16, 2002 Nick: A shrimp appetizer ? Um, but I don't... / Ki: Like seafood, I know. Just tell the chef to give me yours. / Waitress: Misoshiru ? / Ki: Domo Arigato. / Nick: Mr. Roboto. / Nick: I should probably just shut up and eat the soup, right ? / Waitress: It's okay. We get that all the time.
 
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 Nick: So... I just sip the soup straight from the bowl... ? / Ki: Or you can ask for a spoon. / Nick: Good thing they gave me a fork to begin with... / Ki: Aw. Not even going to TRY using the chopsticks ? / Nick: It's not exactly the best ustensil for the dexterity impaired... / Ki: Here, you can try these "starter" chopsticks, with the little hinge. / Nick: I think I've embarrassed myself enough already. / Ki: Ah, but the night is young!
GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 Nick: So, did you and Sharon have a good time the other night ? / Ki: We had a blast. It's been a while since I had a girlfriend to hang out with. / Ki: She mentioned something I've been thinking about anyway, so I want your opinion. I'm thinking of letting my hair grow long. What do you think ? / Nick: Um, Okay... / Ki: Er... I think you have a little drool on your chin...
GPF Archive: Thursday, December 19, 2002 Ki: Sharon's a really interesting person. Did you know she's diabetic ? / Nick: I think Fooker mentioned that once... / Ki: She really misses him. I think we ALL do. / Nick: Given the circumstances under which he left, I can understand why. / Ki: So, how are YOU ? It's been a few weeks... / Nick: I'm... better. Still sorting through my emotions. The stuff with Trudy I've dealt with, but I still feel guilty. / Nick: And I'm still trying to figure things out, like who that guy was you were with while we were apart...
GPF Archive: Friday, December 20, 2002 Ki: The GUY... I was WITH ?! / Nick: Right before everything happened in New York, I called you. Yoshi sais you had some guy in your room. / Nick: Knowing hom little brothers work, I figured he was exaggerating facts or outright lying to make me angry with you. But I know you well enough to know better. / Nick: So, was he a relative ? Or maybe an old friend ? Heck, with all that happened, I'd believe it if it were that time traveling kid the Fookinator was chasing... / Nick: Hey, what was his name... ? / Ki: OH, LOOK! THE CHEF IS HERE!
GPF Archive: Saturday, December 21, 2002 Ki: Whew... the chef is distracting Nick. I think he's lost that train of thought. / Ki: I'm definitely not ready to talk to Nick about Todd yet. I haven't sorted things out for MYSELF. How can I talk to HIM about it ? / Ki: "Nick, you rememver that time-traveling guy ? Well, he's really our son from the future who sacrificed himself so this time line no longer exists." What would he say to THAT ? / Nick: Ki, which do you recommend ? The ginger, mustard, or white sauce ? I trust you to know what's best...
 
GPF Archive: Sunday, December 22, 2002 Soy sauce. Japanese ketchup. / SIZZLE! / CHOP! / CHOP! / CHOP! / TWIRL! / TOSS! / FLIP! / Dinner AND a show rolled into one... / That's Japanese effifiency for you...
GPF Archive: Monday, December 23, 2002 Nick: Mmm... This is pretty good. I wasn't sure I'd like japanese food... / Ki: Keep in mind, this is heavily americanized. / Ki: One of these days, I'll have to let you try my mom's cooking. She's awesome, unlike me. She does both chinese and japanese with ease. / Nick: That sounds like the perfect segue into a topic I've been meaning to mention... / Ki: Uh oh. I left myself wide open, didn't I ? / Ki&Nick: When should I take you to meet my parents ?
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 Ki: So, you thinkg we've progressed to the "meet the parents" level ? / Nick: I think we've surpassed it. We've been dating for a while now. / Ki: Well, I'm an ADULT, and I don't need their APPROVAL. I can date whomever I choose. / Nick: I'm really close to my parents, and I've never brought home a date before... / Ki: We're going to have more than just cultural landmines to avoid, I take it ? / Nick: My mom will probably faint. "He brought home a GIRL..."
GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 Ki: I knew you didn't date much, but you never went on a date EVER ? / Nick: Um, no. Like I told you and Fooker before, nobody really seemed interested. / Nick: Well, actually there WAS that one youth camp I went to once and they had a Sadie Hawkins dinner... / Ki: Ah, where the girl picks the guy. THIS should be good! / Nick: There was this girl who was supposedly interested in me. One of the counselors tricked me long enough for her to sneak up and catch me. / Ki: See ? There's a date! / Nick: The night of the dinner, I was so scared and shy, I didn't say a word the entire night. And she never came back to the camp the following years...
GPF Archive: Thursday, December 26, 2002 Nick: Back to the parents topic. You won't have any problems with my folks. I'm sure they'll love you on sight. / Ki: I wish I could say the same. My mom won't be a problem. Your biggest worry from her will be not gaining fifty pounds from her cooking. My dad, though... / Ki: My dad came from a very strict and traditional family. He rebelled when he came to the states in college, where he met mom. Since then, he's gone further back toward those traditional roots. / Ki: Considering his dad and your granddad were probably on opposite sides of World War II... / Nick: My grandpa fought in Europe, so we're okay there.
 
GPF Archive: Friday, December 27, 2002 Nick: I'll be going home to see my folks soon. You're welcome to go with me... / Ki: Not just yet. I want to wait a little longer before we torture each other. / Nick: Whatever we decide, I think it shouldn't be too long before we make the introductions. The last thing we want is to wait until right before the wed-- / Ki: Go on. I think you were about to say something... ? / Nick: R-Right before the wednesday before thanksgiving. Awkward time, I hear...
GPF Archive: Saturday, December 28, 2002 Nick: It's a shame, I tell you... A crime against nature... / Nick: One innocent cow had to die for my steak, but YOU... you, my "sweet and innocent" girlfriend, are a FIEND! / Nick: What you have done amounts to genocide! An entire civilization wiped out for your gluttony! You should be ashamed! / Ki: I didn't eat THAT much shrimp... / Nick: And I thought I knew you, you monster.
GPF Archive: Sunday, December 29, 2002 Dexter: Good morning, Sherry... / Sharon: Dexter, it's SHARON... / Dexter: Oh, yeah. Sorry. I wonder why I keep forgetting that. / Sharon: Must... Kill... Fooker... / Dexter: What's going on ? / Sharon: Just restoring some of the old off-site backups. / Sharon: That's interesting... Ki had a really big text file on the file server with this funny name... "Ethendale." I wonder if that was a personal file or some project... / Dexter: You could always open it and find out... / Sharon: Just because I have root access doesn't mean I should snoop on other people's files. / Dexter: Then where's all the fun in being a sys admin ? / Sharon: Setting user quotas to 1k and making their default save directory /dev/null but that's beside the point.
GPF Archive: Monday, December 30, 2002 Dexter: Aw, c'mon, Sharon. Aren't you the SLIGHTEST bit curious about the strange file in Ki's home directory ? / Sharon: Dexter... / Sharon: With great power comes great responsibility. A sys admin does not go reading files and E-Mails of her users. It's unethical and a violation of Ki's privacy. / Dexter: What if she was using company resources for personal gain ? She could be selling customer info to our competitors... / Sharon: Ki wouldn't do that. / Dexter: What if she's writting a steamy porn novel about her and Nick ? / Sharon: Sigh... You always were a bad influence on me...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 Sharon: Okay, just to prove Ki isn't writting a "porn novel", I'll look at the file. / Dexter: I'll bet I'm her co-start. / Sharon: Hmm. Actually, it DOES look like a novel: a FANTASY novel. "The Counsel of Ethendale." Looks like she's got several chapters already. / Dexter: Kewl. Let's see if it's any good... / Sharon: No. We've snopped enough. Ki's files are personal, and we should leave them alone. / Dexter: "The fierce red-haired rogue bowed. 'I am Sharon of Dirthwood, emissary from the king of Sternhelm...'" / Sharon: NO, WAIT! WE'LL START FROM THE BEGINNING!
