Day Four in 1983
Kitt has
another nightmare, one he is most assuredly not prepared to face. PeeJee tries to
comfort him, with some small success.
Later, Karr and Bonnie wake up somewhere sunny. It's Nevada in May, of course it's sunny. The thread is best summed up thusly:
434 comments of UST, snark, flirting... foreplay... And then they done sex. The end.
PeeJee does basic yoga. Kitt watches, somewhere between enthralled and mortified. She offers to teach him, but instead, they decide to have a bath. The bath somehow turns into a fight.
This fight was evidently PeeJee's plan all along, as Kitt stalked off for a drive and Michael went with him and there was much breaky and woe, in honestly rather healthy ways.
PeeJee was not kind enough to inform anyone at all of her scary plan. Although after a good deal of breaky and some mild schmoop, Michael realized
roughly what she'd been up to.And then they rambled leik woa.
Not too much later, Michael
talks briefly to Bonnie, although perhaps 'talking' is an overstatement. Really, it's more that she tries to get him to tell her what's wrong, and he thinks that if
she can't figure that much out on her own, then she pretty much doesn't deserve to know. She's the lady with the PhD, after all.
Kitt tries to talk to Michael, too, though with far better luck. Less grr and closing off, a lot more partnerschmoop. There is, at some point, a bit of healing, and the plot point that Kitt can't just go back to car form, now. He won't be happy with one or the other; he has to be able to change.
In the spirit of spending time with his guests (even though he's not really a host here),
Kitt offers to take PeeJee out for a 'real' date. She dyes her hair black for the occaision, as bright maroony-purple is not very 1983. Kitt makes retirement plans, and he and PeeJee discuss raising children.
Karr proves that
he too can dream, probably a symptom of being human-shaped outside of Milliways. The whole thread is Millicanon and... slightly heartbreaking.
Svava
sends a note saying she's well, that Milliways continues well despite todash monsters, and that she will be free to go home at the end of the world. Oh. And asks for someone to please bring her stuff back to the bar.
