In the library I used to work at, most of us smelled like the office air-freshener; the library was on an Air Force base *right* next to the gym, so we’d retreat to the radius of chemical Mountain Freshness in self-defense when the funk of freshly-exercised airmen got to be too much.
Nah, the fact that Ginny had left robbed him of his mojo. He didn’t know she was trying to help him, do it seemed to him as if she just didn’t care. He went from feeling like her champion to feeling like a peasant thrown into the arena.
It’s all those awkward biological systems that whoosh hormones around the body at dizzying speeds, exciting the lizard brain and freezing the higher orders of thought. As a helicopter, I suspect he was less subject to such things. His fascination with Ginny *then* could be seen as a purely intellectual obsession.
But seriously, after the Baron runs the tournament into the ground, and then all the losers beat the crap out of him for not letting them into VR-vana, Wilkin might need to give him a makeover.
In this forum? It barely breaks ten percent. For this to be weird by our standards, you have to have a matter replicator that you put together from a microwave and three drinking glasses to produce the wafers in question.
Funny you should mention that. Someone in my class occasionally uses some sort of perfume or something that does, in fact, smell like fruit loops. I have no idea exactly *who* – large class.
Any academic credentials Tigerlily has would probably predate the point at which she bacame “Mad”. In her present uber-funky state, she would not tolerate the B.S. one needs to ingest to get even
a B.S.
(However, it appears that the ability to get along with Mad scientists and their productions is highly correlated with the ability to withstand protracted and/or intense exposure to academic nonsense. Narbonic’s Mel managed a law degree, and Tip has a Ph.D. Of course, some of us will also attest that dissertations and residencies can trigger latent madness.)
The snakes thought she smelled like librarian.
Librarians often smell like Nilla wafers.
Though, the ones in my library smell like Axe body spray…
How unfornate.

Not sure which would be worse, gag me with a spoon, ugh!
So the Mike is getting to Nick more than we thought? o_O
Good thing Ginny showed up. ^_^
I think you’re right. The Mike must have the Compulsion power – which is insignificant compared to Ginny’s effect on Nick.

Dohh!! Should be “so it seemed”, not “do it seemed” – the inability to edit in this chat is very frustrating.
Nick is just a normal guy. Mouth opens. Stuff comes out.
At least he didn’t say “Glrbsk.”

Nah, a significant percentage of sex hormones are produced in the brain, so it was never purely intellectual.
But being attached to all the other bits affected by those hormones amplifies the awkwardness, I’m sure.
I love how his kippah makes it look like he has a hole to the void in the back of his head
It’s covering his data port.
My brain insists on interpreting it as a screw-top so Virginia has easy access.
There’s an interesting thought! Dr. Lee could have direct access to all Nick’s pleasure centers…
She already does. The big problem is that neither of them is consciously aware of it yet…
Had Nick planned to send in Tip Wilkin to do a Mikeover?
(golf clap)

I am simultaneously fascinated and terrified by the mental images that produces.
How freaking weird is it that I was eating Nilla Wafers as I read this?

No, that would be normal by our standards.
He’s a young male. Do you need to ask?
“…and her hair smells like Froot Loops.”
“Yeah? Well, I eat Froot Loops for breakfast.”
Funny you should mention that. Someone in my class occasionally uses some sort of perfume or something that does, in fact, smell like fruit loops. I have no idea exactly *who* – large class.
some of his senses are working….take him home, Virginia!
Well, I don’t know how Dr. Lee and Ms. Jones reassembled him. Maybe Nick’s gonads are tied to his jaw with a little string.
Oh, that’s normal for any man. For some, the string is tighter than others.
(P.S. Tigerlily is a doctor as well.)
I’ve wondered about their degrees. M. D. or Ph. D. or something else?
I would think that Virginia is at least an M.D. since she’s a neurosurgeon. Not sure about Tigerlily.
Any academic credentials Tigerlily has would probably predate the point at which she bacame “Mad”. In her present uber-funky state, she would not tolerate the B.S. one needs to ingest to get even

That gonad-jaw connection is a vital component in the “tell lies” system.
“If you interrupt the mating dance, the male will become enraged and maul us with his fearsome gonad!” —Dr. Zoidberg, “Futurama.”
If Tigerlily Jones got too into the reconstruction, there’s probably a spring involved in the connection somehow.
I like Nilla wafers!
