I dunno... What *is* that "sleep" thing you are talking about?

Nah, that would imply that were not already one. :)

No, the gag is not that she is *going* weird, but that she always
was in contact alien intelligences in secret.

You know, when I read this, I went into a one-minute
uncontrollable laughing fit. You really shouldn't do that to
someone who has just read Mike's fic. :)

Haw. *Drool*, more probably.

Ah, but he didn't mean "take advantage" as in overpowering her,
but as in talking her into something she might regret.

You know, at this point *latest*, I would have taken a mallet and
explained "'Mou*SS*e! <whack> Mou*SS*e! <whack> Do you hear the
sharp 'S'? <whack> Do you hear the 'O-U' diphtong? <whack>

Yeah, he has strange priorities, that one.

I think it was Mulder who called *her*.

: Hey! I'll have you know that I make one MEAN bowl of instant ramen! :P
You know, I like to take a portion of instant ramen, throw it into
hot water just long enough to make the noodles soft (are they
Jusenkyou-cursed to be so stiff?) and the fry them in the pan with
an egg and lots of seasoning. Delicious and just as fast as
cooking it. :9

Sounds okay to me. Depends, of course, on the fact that Ki-blasts
have some kind of recoil force. [shrugs]

And he thinks spaying animals is unethical, even when it's some

ingrateful jerk!"
: Itching to see what's up with Mousse (you know, the duck), if that's

Where do you get the Jusenkyou curse? If it is a duck (and that's
certainly what we are led to believe) then we didn't see it change
into anything to justify tha assumption. It doesn't have to turn
into a human or anything, just to have learned armed combat.
: P.S. Just out of curiosity, what does "fnord" mean?
You are not cleared for that information. Do not ask again.
