GPF Archive: Friday, March 26, 2004 [[Trudy is still working with a very nervous Yoshi]] / Trudy: It's really very simple, B0r0mir. You do a little something for me, and I'll do a little something to you. / [[Trudy strokes Yoshi's chin]] / Trudy: I have several bank accounts scattered across the globe. The feds have seized a few of them, but some are still free to access. / Truudy: I need you to hack into those banks and pool that money into a local bank. Can you do it? / Yoshi[[nervously]]: _C-can_ I? Sure. But I don't know if I _sh-should_... / [[Grinning, Trudy tilts Yoshi's head downwards so that he is looking at her breasts]] / Yoshi[[weakly]]: I-I-I'll do it. / Trudy: Good boy
GPF Archive: Saturday, March 27, 2004 [[Yoshi is working on his VIAO while Trudy looks over his shoulder]] / Yoshi narrating: I hooked up my VIAO and went to work. It didn't take long to establish the right connections. / [[Two command windows are open]] / Yoshi narrating: I was surprised at how easy it was. I mean, I had hacked tougher sites, like the DOD and NASA, but this was ridiculously easy. I was starting to wonder why I never tried this before. / [[Trudy licks her lips as Yoshi sweats]] / Yoshi narrating: All the while, S1r3n watched with edelight. As I cracked into a new bank, she would lick her lips. I felt her hand on my thigh, here fingers on my side, her breast brushed my back... / [[Yoshi is sweating, surprised as Trudy looks disapproving]] / Yoshi narrating: Hand... thigh... breast... back... legs... cleavage... lips / Trudy: B0r0m1r, you're typing gibberish again.
GPF Archive: Sunday, March 28, 2004 [[Yoshi is working while Trudy is sleeping]] / Yoshi narrating: I worked most of the night. It's one of those geek things, ya know. Once I start something, I can't leave it alone 'til I'm done. / [[Same scene, except Trudy is in the foreground]] / Yoshi narrating: S1r3n ran out of steam around 2 a.m. She curled up on the cot in the corner and fell asleep. I coudl tell she hadn't had much sleep for a while, so I let her get what she could. / [[The naked Ki, Fooker, Nefarious, Todd, Chuck, and Empress Trudy are shown in Trudy's dream, as is the darkening environment]] / Yoshi narrating: If I had known it was her _dreams_ that kept her awake, I might have changed my mind... / Voices: You use people like tissues... justice will prevail... Your future is unknown... MURDERER... I AM YOUR DESTINY... / [[Trudy sits up and screams. Yoshi is startled]] / Trudy; AAAAAH! / [[Trudy buries her face in her hands, crying]] / Yoshi narrating: I was wrong earlier. _Now_ the least expected thing happened.. / Trudy: I-I'm... I'm sorry... ob / {{Thiis, Trudy's realization that she is using Yoshi the way she used Nick, seems to be her personal "turning point"}}
GPF Archive: Monday, March 29, 2004 [[Yoshi walks over to Trudy, who is crying]] / Yoshi: Um... are... are you okay? / Trudy [[weakly]]: I-I should never have lured you here... / Yoshi narrating: Geez... I _hate_ it when girls cry... / Trudy [[weakly]]: She was right... I use people, then throw them away. What kind of monster _am_ I? / Yoshi narrating: I feel all sick inside when I see a girl cry. It's their secret weapon, I guess. But when she looked at me, it was really strange... like... / [[Nick, looking disappointed just after Trudy was unable to kill him, appears in Yoshi's place]] / Yoshi narrating: Like she was seeing someone else...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 [[Trudy looks angry]] / Trudy: You have to get out of here... before anyone finds out you're here... / Yoshi: I've still got one more bank to hack... / Trudy: _NO!_ No... I've abused you too much... I've tainted you like I tainted _him_... God, I was practically doing statutory rape... / [[Yoshi points a finger while Trudy's expression twists]]] / Yoshi: Um, It's only rape if one party's unwilling. I'm more than happy to-- / Trudy: No, _NO_! Everything is wrong. I-I can't! What's _WRONG_ with me?! / [[Yoshi rolls his eyes as Trudy sobs]] / Yoshi narrating: Resigned to the fact that my virginity was firmly intact, I realized that this was something bigger... something deeper that I was only seeing the surface of...
 
GPF Archive: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 [[Yoshi is sitting next to Trudy, with his hand on her shoulder. Tears are streaming down Trudy's face]] / Yoshi narrating: I'm no touchy-feely person, but I fugred she needed to vent. / Yoshi: Why... don't you tell me what's wrong? / Trudy: Sob / [[Shows Trudy's face, and a flashback of her pointing the gun at Nick's head.]] / Trudy: I... almost two years ago, I... betrayed the only man I ever truly loved. I used him to further my selfish goals, and nearly killed him when he ultimately rejected me. / [[Yoshi is sitting next to Trudy]] / Trudy: Now here I am, doing the same thing all over again. I led you here to use you, to fulfill my own selfish needs, and in the process, I am only destroying myself. / [[Trudy turns to Trudy, who is glaring]] / Yoshi: Um, well, if you still want to use my body, it's okay, 'cause it's not _entirely_ selfish. / Trudy: I wasn't going to sleep with you, you twit. I only wanted a hacker. / Yoshi: Dang.
GPF Archive: Thursday, April 1, 2004 [[Yoshi is addressing Trudy, whose hand is on her forehead]] / Yoshi: Um, okay... so you kind of led me here under false pretenses and wanted to use my brain instead of my body. Kind of a bummer, yeah. / [[Trudy looks sad] / Yoshi: But... you didn't _make_ me come here. I came because I wanted to finally _meet_ you. To see the person I've come to know online. I came under my own power and free will. / [[Closeup of Yoshi]] / Yoshi: Yeah, you kind of deceived me at first. But we all lie a little online. We all pretend to be something we're not. And once we got past that, I started to reallly get to know _you_. / [[Trudy embraces Yoshi]] / Yoshi: I'm not good at all this mushy crap, but I really want to be your _friend_... / Trudy: And, as long as I've been without one, I'll gladly take it.
GPF Archive: Friday, April 2, 2004 [[Trudy sadly looks at Yoshi at his VIAO]] / Trudy: I can't ask you to finish that hack... / Trudy: No, I _want_ to. In fact, I'm already done. / [[Trudy holds up an ATM card]] / Yoshi: That's a nice little nest egg. What are you going to do now? / Trudy: I'll withdraw it all with this ATM card, then try to leave the country. / [[Trudy has a half-smile]] / Trudy: I... I need time to think, and I can't do that while I'm on the run. I know a few places I can go. Don't worry, though. Now that I know I have a friend, I'll keep in touch. / [[Trudy grins at Yoshi]] / Yoshi: You know, we can still know each other better... in the Biblical sense... {{having sex, as evidenced by Yoshi's past statements}} / Trudy: Nice try, kid. I'm more than twice your age. / Yoshi: I'm mature for my age!
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 3, 2004 [[Trudy locks the shed]] / Yoshi narrating: We parted company around 4 AM. She was careful to leave the shack as she found it. Apparently, the owner would be there soon. / [[Trudy and Yoshi hug]] / Yoshi narrating: It was kind of weird. After all we had been through, it was obvious we had formed some sort of bond. We weren't online acquaintances anymore. We were friends. / [[Trudy gets on her motorcycle]] / Yoshi narrating: I didn't know what the future held or what all she had been through. She was my pal, and I was going to help her no matter what. / [[Yoshi and Trudy ride off in opposite directions]] / Yoshi narrating: And I knew that whenever I met S1r3n again, it was going to be quite an adventure. / {{End}}
GPF Archive: Sunday, April 4, 2004 [[Nick and Ki have finished dinner at a nice restaurant. Nick gets the bill]] / Ki: Ooh... I'm stuffed. But that was a great dinner. Thanks, sweetie. / Nick: I always cook best with plastic utensils. / [[Nick looks at the bill]] / Nick: Huh... is that the right date? For some reason, I've been thinking it was earlier than that... / Ki: Well, we've been deep in coding on that one project. I guess it's easy to forget what day it is. / Nick: Well, it's just that next week is my birthday. I haven't even paid attention to the calendar... / Ki: Your birthday? Is it really? / Nick: Yeah, and this year just happens to be my thirtieth. I don't want to make a big deal about it. I just want to treat it like just another day... / [[Nick pays for dinner]] / Ki: (thinking) Heh... but when you find out what I've got in store for you, you'll definitely be in for a surprise. I've got the best party ever planned, and you're gonna love it! / Nick: What are you up to over there? / Ki: Who, me? What makes you think I'm up to something? / Nick: The maniacal giggle is a dead giveaway...
 
GPF Archive: Monday, April 5, 2004 [[Ki, talking to Sharon and Dexter.]] / Ki: Quick, while Nick is in that meeting with Dwayne... is everything in place for Nick's big birthday party tomorrow? / Dexter: I've got all the food ready, with all of his favorites... / Sharon: And I've tweaked the office LAN for the ultimate in network gaming. / Ki: Excellent! Everything is falling into place perfectly! NOTHING can ruin Nick's party! MUHAHAHAHAHA! (Ki rubs her hands together) / [[Sharon and Dexter, looking slightly startled]] / Sharon: She said it. She actually said it. / Dexter: I thought I just heard the ominous thunder...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 6, 2004 [[In the GPF office, with Ki rolling out plans for Nick's B-day to Sharon and Dexter]] / Ki: Okay, I've asked Fred to delay Nick so he'll be late for work tomorrow. That will give us just enough time to decorate for Nick's party. / Ki: I'm planning to get here early so I'll coordinate on the-- / <> [[router frying]] / Sharon: OH, NO! / Sharon: The main router has blown! The whole LAN has gone down! / Ki: There goes the LAN party! Do you have a backup? / Sharon: This IS the backup! The regular router is still being repaired from where SOMEONE spilled grape soda in it last week...{{accusing looks at Dexter}} / Dexter: Heh heh...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, April 7, 2004 [[Dexter, Ki and Sharon discuss how to replace a blown router. Ki looks unhappy, her face in her hand]] / Dexter: With the router down, the LAN party is toast for Nick's birthday. / Sharon: Maybe not. I've got an old hub or two at home. / Sharon: They won't replace the router, but at least the LAN will be up. We'll be able to work and have the LAN party. / [[Ki smiles]] / [[Dwayne enters]] / Ki: Excellent! That will do the trick! For a moment there, I thought we had a serious problem. / Sharon: Technically, we still do... / Dwayne: Ah, there you three are. / Dwayne: While you're all here, I want you to know they're fumigating the building tomorrow. So I want you all to work from home. / [[Ki looks frazzled, her eyes wide and hair spiked]]
GPF Archive: Thursday, April 8, 2004 Dexter: Fumigating the building? / Dwayne: Yes. Apparently, one of the lower floor tenants kept a cockroach farm that broke open last month. / Dwayne: So they're closing the building so they can spray all the floors. The equipment will be safe, but they want us out as a precaution. / Ki: No, No, No... / Dwayne: What's wrong with Ki? / Sharon: We were planning Nick's birthday to be here tomorrow. But that's okay. We can have it at my place. / Dwayne: Tomorrow? Um, I'm afraid I've got another hitch in that plan. I'm sending Nick to San Diego tomorrow. / Ki: Ack!!!!
GPF Archive: Friday, April 9, 2004 [[Dwayne, Ki and Sharon talk about Nick. Ki's eyes are wide]] / Sharon: You're sending Nick to San Diego tomorrow? / Dwayne: Yes. He needs to meet with a new client who has commitments in that area and can't meet here. / [[Ki looks unhappy]] / Ki: But tomorrow is his thirtieth birthday! We had a huge party planned for him! / Dwayne: I'm sorry. I'd go myself if I didn't have to go to Atlanta the same day... / Dexter: What if someone went in his place? I'll go! / Dwayne: Dex, you know full well that Nick is the team lead. You don't have enough experience. / Dexter: Ooh, ooh! You could send us _all_ to San Diego! / Dwayne: Yes, that makes perfect financial sense. / [[Dwayne and Sharon narrow their eyes at Dexter, Ki looks down, eyes wide and hair frazzled]]
 
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 10, 2004 [[Ki looking sad, chin on her arms crossed on the table, Sharon sitting across from her.]] / Ki: I can't believe Nick's birthday party was ruined before it ever started... / Sharon: I'm sorry, Ki. We all tried our best to help. / Ki: Now poor Nick is going to spend his thirtieth birthday all alone in a strange city, with none of his friends to celebrate with... / Sharon (looking calculating): Not necessarily... / Sharon: You know, Dwayne can only afford to send Nick to San Diego, but who says _YOU_ can't take a vacation day to fly out and meet him there? / Ki (smiling): You're right! / Ki (standing with fists clenched in determination): Sharon, you're a genius! _NOTHING_ can stop me from making this his best birthday ever! / Sharon (covering her eyes with one hand, thinks to herself): She jinxed it _AGAIN_...
GPF Archive: Sunday, April 11, 2004 [[Ki waves goodbye to Nick from her van]] / Ki (Narrating): The plan was going to be flawless. I would see Nick off to the airport... / [[Ki looking shifty, removes a suitcase from the back of the van]] / Ki (Narrating): And instead of driving back to work, I would park and catch my own flight to San Diego. / [[Ki hands her ticket to the gate attendant]] / Ki (Narrating): I chose a different airline from a different terminal to minimize the risk of running into him... / Ki (Narrating): And since my flight wouldn't leave for a couple hours after his, I had plenty of time to plan the evening... / [[Ki sets off the metal detector]] / <> / Ki (Narrating): Then... my jinx came back to haunt me. / Security guard: I'm sorry, Ma'am. But I need you to step over here so we can search you and your bag.
GPF Archive: Monday, April 12, 2004 [[Ki is in the airport, delayed by security]] / Security agent: The bag checks out, but I'm afraid it's too large for a carry-on. I can check it for you. / Ki: Um, okay... / [[A female security agent waves a metal detector over Ki]] / <> / Female security agent: Are you wearing anything or have anything in your pockets made of metal? / Ki: Not that I know of... / Female security agent: You're still showing up with something. I'm afraid I have to ask you to consent to a more thorough search. / Ki: Sigh... only to prove I have nothing to hide... / [[Ki and the female security agent look angrily at the male security agents]] / Male security agent: Remove each item of clothing slowly... and seductively... and lightly lick your lips... / Security agent with camera: Work it, baby. Make love to the camera...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 Ki, Narrating: It turned out the search was just a big waste of time... / Female security screener: You set this thing on "lace" again, didn't you? / [[The female screener looks harshly at the giggling male screeners.]] / Ki, Narrating: and because of that I almost missed my flight... / [[An airline agent re-opens the gate to let Ki through.]] / Ki, Narrating: The turbulence was brutal. It was like a four-hour roller coaster ride... / [[Ki, rattled, clings to her seat. The passenger beside her vomits into an airsick bag.]] <> / Ki, Narrating: And then things got _really_ bad... / Ki: YOU LOST MY BAG?! / Airline agent: Um, technically, we _know_ where it is. But getting it back from Zimbabwe will take a while... / [[Ki bares her teeth at the poker-faced agent.]]
GPF Archive: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Ki, narrating: It was all downhill from there. I tried to check into my hotel... / Hotel desk clerk: You say you have a reservation, Ms. Oshiro? / Ki: Yes, here's the confirmation number... / [[Ki tiredly hands the clerk a slip of paper. On the wall behind the desk is the name of the hotel: VALUSLEEP.]] / Clerk: I'm sorry, but I can't find that number in our database... / Ki: But I booked a room last night from your web site... / Clerk [[thoughtfully holding his index finger to his lips]]: Last night? Oh, that's right... I'm afraid our database crashed last night, and we lost some data. It looks like your reservation was lost then. / Ki [[head in her hand]]: Whatever. Just give me another room. / Clerk [[pointing his index finger straight up]]: I'm sorry, but we're all full at the moment. If you had had a reservation... / Ki [[holding her fist up and baring her teeth]]: I know all about crashing databases. Want to see something else I can crash?
 
GPF Archive: Thursday, April 15, 2004 [[Ki narrates an adventure in mishaps. She looks startled as a cashier holds up her credit card]] / Ki (Narrating): Since my dress was in Africa, I had to buy a new one. That's when I found out my credit card was declined. Fortunately, they took my check. / Ki (Narrating): My cellphone had no service out here, so I couldn't reach you. I had to guess where your meeting was. / [[Taxi driver holding his head, Ki brandishing a brush from the back seat]] / Ki (Narrating): Then the taxi driver got lost. We were halfway to Los Angeles before he finally figured it out. / [[Ki in a spaghetti-strap red dress, Nick looking startled.]] / Ki (Narrating): But it was all worth while to see the look on your face when you found me waiting for you...
GPF Archive: Friday, April 16, 2004 [[Nick and Ki are in a nice restaurant, a candle burning between them]] / Nick: Holy cow... I'm so sorry you had so many problems with your surprise visit, Ki... / Ki: I don't care about any of that now. All that matters is your birthday... / Ki: Unfortunately, your present is probably riding on an elephant's back somewhere... / Nick: That's not important. _THIS_ is the best gift I could ever have... / Ki: It would have been nicer if I could have actually _BOUGHT_ the dinner, but I didn't want you to be alone on your thirtieth birthday. Which... um, reminds me... / [[Ki has a large nervous smile on her face]] / Ki: You don't mind if I, um, share your room with you tonight... ? / Nick: Heh, of course not. And there's no smart-alec guy with pointy ears this time...
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 17, 2004 Ki: Thanks again for letting me stay here... And for loaning me some pajamas... / Nick: You're lucky I even brought the top. / Ki: You sure about the sleeping arrangements? / Nick: Well, there's no couch, and we're both adults. And we've fallen asleep together plenty of times... / Nick: Besides... It's something we might need to get used to some day... / Ki: Oh, is it, now...? / <> [[Nick turns the light off]] / [[Ki snuggles on Nick's chest]] / Ki: Happy birthday, sweetheart. / Nick: Thank you for everything, honey.

GPF Archive: Sunday, April 18, 2004 Fred: Dexter, here's that code spec Dwayne mentioned this morning. Hrm... I know I'm going to regret this, but why the long face? / Dexter: Oh, it's... it's nothing. I've just been feeling kind of lonely lately. That's all. / Fred: I thought you went bowling again with Nick, Ki, and Sharon just last week. / Dexter: I did. They've been really nice to me and have been great friends since I becamse full-time. No, it's the OTHER kind of lonely. / Fred: Ah, the carnal urge to mate. I see... / Dexter: Not THAT. Well... maybe a little. I haven't had a girlfriend in a while... / Fred: Not that I really care, but is there anyone you're interested in dating...? / Dexter: Yeah... but she's hung up on someone else... / Fred: You're not still pining after Ki, are you? If Nick found out... / Dexter: Oh, No! I'm over her! And NICK'S not the one I'd be worried about hurting me.
GPF Archive: Monday, April 19, 2004 Fred: Well, who is this mystery woman you just can't have? / Dexter: Let's just say she's in a very long-distance relationship. / Fred: Hmm... well, if you are lucky, she'll get lonely too and get desperate... / Dexter: Gee, thanks. And I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen anyway. / Fred: Well... normally, I couldn't care less about your plight. But with Fooker gone, I've had a serious drought of pointless inane adventures... / Fred: Thus, I will volunteer to act as your advisor to cure your urge to merge... / Dexter: Why am I not encouraged to hear that coming from a creature that reproduces by fission...
 
GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 Fred: Have you considered online dating? / Dexter: I'd like to think I'm not THAT desperate... / Dexter: But I used to chat on IRC and I've got a Friendster profile. So far I haven't gotten anywhere, though. / Fred: Hmm... unwired it is, then. / Fred: We need something that will get you the maximum amount of exposure in the shortest amount of time, and I think I know just the thing. / Dexter: "Speed Dating?" / Fred: In today's world, if you can't sell yourself in five minutes or less, you're napping with the dinosaurs.
GPF Archive: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 Fred: In speed dating, you have five minutes to talk to your date. Then you move on to the next woman. You repeat until you have talked to all potential mates. / Fred: In this game, first impressions are everything. You have to stand out from all the other guys and be memorable. Now pretend you're sitting across the table from a beautiful girl... / *Dexter stands, vacantly staring, then begins to drool* / Fred: Well, I think you've established the memorable part...
GPF Archive: Thursday, April 22, 2004 Fred: You only have five minutes in your "speed date" to sell your best qualities. Don't try to spill your whole life story; distill it to just your best traits. / Fred: It's a lot like writing a resume. You know what you want to say, but you need to compact that into concise powerful words that make you rise above the competition. Now let's go over your attributes... / Dexter: Um, well, I have a bachelor's degree... / Fred: "Educated"... / Dexter: I like to read "Star Trek" books... / Fred: "Well read"... / Dexter: I like to eat... / Fred: "Culinary connoisseur"... / Dexter: I'm a computer programmer... / Fred: Um... better not mention that one. That will kill things faster than a reality TV romance...
GPF Archive: Friday, April 23, 2004 Fred: Okay, I've signed you up for a "Speed Date" session this Friday. I'll come home with you and coach you, then you'll drop me off at Nick's on your way. / Fred: Meanwhile, we'll spend some time each day prepping you for the big night. First, we'll start with your introduction. Imagine I'm your date. Remember to keep it quick but sincere. / Dexter: Hi, I'm Dexter J. Smith. And your name is? / Fred (morphing to a woman sillhouette): Fredrica. / Dexter: It's a pleasure to meet you, Fredrica. / Fred: Not bad. Try to be a bit more enthusiastic. And try to do something about that clammy hand. / Dexter: How could you tell with all that slime?
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 24, 2004 Fred: Okay, tonight's the big night. You look good, but lose the tie and unbutton the top button for a more casual look. / Fred: Got everything? Pen and paper? Breath mints? Deodorant? / Dexter: Yep. Even got a couple of con-- / Fred: Don't expect miracles, kid. / Fred: Okay. You're as ready as you'll ever be. Stay confident, stay focused. Go get 'em, tiger. / Fred: Why do I feel like I just led a sheep to the slaughter...?
