Thanks.
A couple of the initial caption bits were omitted on the first couple of pics.
From my notes when I commissioned:

Hank: ?I?m telling you, it?s not normal. Nobody gains 50 pounds in a week. Don?t tell me you haven?t heard the rumors about all those other students ? my advanced programming class was half empty today.?
Gany: ?Classes are always half empty on Friday mornings ? how long have you been here again? I can?t believe you?d take that gossip seriously. If it makes you feel any better, we can swing by the clinic first thing Monday morning. Truth be told, I?m feeling a bit of a cold coming on myself.
Hank: *sniffing* ?I?m not surprised given the way you dress in this weather. Say?do you smell cinnamon??

As it turns out, Hank was right on both counts. Her extreme weight gain brought on by mixups in the new student "orientation" vaccine program (a reference to some of Solios' previous growth sequences) was anything but normal, which also happened to be the cause for the increased number of students absent from classes. In Hank?s case as well, the ?growth? was accelerated by the exposure to an accidentally released experimental nanovirus (hence the cinnamon scent - an identification tag) by the Department of Xenobiochemistry. In Gany?s case, where her non-Minoan genetic heritage appeared to be distinctly advantageous ? after years of paying increased tuition costs as an off-worlder ? exposure to the virus resulted in a completely different slew of side effects.
Hank: ?Tissue??
Gany: ?Danks.?
University Legal Services would definitely be working overtime on this one.

Gany and Hank take time off from studying for midterms with a light lunch at their favorite Nipponese (taking a page from Neil Stephenson?s word usage) Fusion restaurant ? Sakura Deli Express and Biergarten. Manager and local forward-thinking entrepreneur Toshiro Heisenberg ? never one to miss an opportunity ? immediately saw the profit in designing facilities and accommodations to ?cater? to the expanding student population ? literally. Hank definitely enjoying her kosher California roll platter ? Sierra Nevada style (forcing herself to eat with chopsticks has helped her limit caloric intake?.slightly). Gany on the other hand is still having trouble adjusting to her new appendage ? whether eating matzo soup or tofu tempura.
Gany: *exasperatedly* ?Not again!?
Hank: ?Why do you insist on trying to use those things if they give you so much trouble ? just use your fingers.?
Gany: ?A proper lady never eats with her fingers.?
Hank: ?Does a proper lady dangle her ear in her soup??
Gany: ?*expletive deleted*?

Hank: ?Come on in, the water?s great!?
Gany: ?Not on your life?do you know how much I just spent on my hair??
Hank: ?It?ll be fun?you?ve even got your own snorkel.?

Hank: ?Frankly, all I?m saying is that I can?t really see the point of getting up earlier than we would for class and spending a morning at the shops?that?s kinda the point behind e-shopping.?
Gany: ?Because it?s important to try before you buy. Besides, half the fun is rifling through a neat pile and leaving a mess for some underpaid bimbo to sort out.?
Hank: ?Especially if that ?underpaid bimbo? happened to be the TA who gave you a D in bio-chem last quarter? Not as if any of their standard outfits would fit - all our clothes this year have been special orders.?
Gany: ?Well?.yeah ? and why does it take twice as long for my custom orders to come in as it does for yours??
Hank: ?I think half the delay is caused by waiting for the stock clerks to stop laughing when they see your reference pics.?
Gany: ?That?s the last time you touch my camera. Now walk faster, I don?t want my coffee to get cold.?
Hank: (laughin) ?Just you wait till my reimbursement check comes?then we?ll see who carries whose coffee.?

stay tuned for holiday updates!
