Day Two of the House Party from Hell
We begin Day Two of our stint in 1983 with, sadly,
Kitt having a nightmare. It's something of a doozy.
Luckily, Karr finds Kitt, and offers clumsy but heartfelt comfort. Aww, brotherschmoop.
Juggling posts and order,
Svava and PeeJee have a nice long talk in the kitchen. Both are suffering from Milliwayslag. And PeeJee has a
sparring match with Michael later that morning. (Yes, it's still not fully written. Mun can only see the last exchange. Later,
Bonnie and Svava talk internal combustion.
Later still, probably sometime after lunch,
Michael and Kitt discuss many things-- the fact that what Kitt is going through, emotionally, is
normal and that Michael has had similar problems during his time as a soldier and a police officer, the fact that Bonnie will be taking a sabbatical from the Foundation (which knocks Michael for a loop), and then Kitt wanted to go for a drive. Michael turned out to be Not Okay To Drive, and Kitt had to bring them home. Poor Michael. He's been burning the candle at both ends, and now Bonnie's going away.
Probably around that time, Karr and PeeJee have a talk. As usual, there is snark. There is also friendschmoop. There is also PeeJee convincing Karr to give Michael half a chance-- for Kitt's sake.
Karr and Bonnie
talk, snark, and have Very Strange UST. Everyone is confused.
Svava becomes the darling of the Foundation by
healing Kitt's arm and restoring the words Michael put there some months ago.
PeeJee and Bonnie start off well enough, but it turns out that
if you shake the jar, they'll fight. Or PeeJee will leave so that she doesn't knock anyone's teeth out.
Karr
snarks at Michael, who... well, he's just not thinking terribly clearly.
Karr, in need of someone to grouse to, finds
PeeJee packing to leave. See, if she puts her fist through Bonnie's skull, Karr's system integrity will plummet and it's a strong possibility that he could die. However, on hearing how things fell out, Karr let PeeJee know that if it wouldn't kill him, he'd be happy to watch her... well. Be PeeJee at Bonnie. They agree she should return to Milliways, but they do agree that if anyone ever kills Karr, PeeJee will be enacting vengeance.
A near
300-comment Threadzilla wherein there is partnerschmoop between Kitt and Michael, who haphazardly plan a vacation just for the two of them, girl/carshippyschmoop wherein Kitt talks PeeJee into staying until he can talk to Bonnie with sweet little chaste kisses and one word-- 'Please.' He is
such a cheater, isn't he? There are also group hugs, because Michael seemed to need them. And then there is mild, non-contact Svavaschmoop, because now they've all seen Kitt's lovely, unscarred arm and Svava is the girl of the hour. Michael leads Svava inside to fix up her hand (which has its own thread), and Kitt and PeeJee have a slumber party on his floor, complete with hairbrushing.
While all that Schmoop was schmooping, Bonnie was
totally wasting the lab in frustration. Then Karr showed up and there was snark, yet more Very Strange UST, and ice cream. And kisses. For reasons no one but maybe a mun who hasn't told me understands.
Michael patches up Svava's hand, which includes OMGperoxideyipe! Also, they talk comics. Why? I really don't know. Also included, Catholicism from a lapsed Catholic munned by a filthy heathen.
End, at long, long last, of Day Two.
