Rimmer hovered at a constant distance, like a neurotic vulture who is watching a mortally wounded impala play Parcheesi.
What a lovely, lovely image.
But he still was not angry with Lister. No, just - numb
That is just so sad. Damn that Kryten! And Rimmer, when will he learn? Some space hero too, what has to happen until he senses something is wrong?
If Rimmer had not been occupied with brooding, he might have noticed the madness in Kryten's voice. But he was, and he did not - not until Kryten advanced, duster raised, on Rimmer, and started to dust his head with intense concentration. "What the smeg is wrong with you?" Rimmer barked, dancing back.
Indeed. That crazy cleaning is really scary, but Kryten dusting Rimmer is just such hilarious image!
She would stay to watch him die
Mommy. Me scared now. Very scared.
Who was 'she?' What did 'she' have to do with the ship blowing up?
Captain oblivious. Really, Arn.
Rimmer bit his tongue very solidly at the sight of her, looking highly undressed and highly just-sexed
*bangs head against table* He still doesn't get it?!
The Computer's voice had moved to a pitch that would make phone-sex workers weep. "Remedial measures taken. Outcome unacceptable." Rimmer shivered at the coldness of the words and the heat of the voice
*snort* I like the contrast,'s nice.
Someone drugged you, stripped you naked, and plopped you in bed with Kochanski?
Ok. I think I'm gonna bang his head against the table for a bit.
Cat blushed. Rugged-features sure was a smooth talker!
Oh, you just gotta love Cat. I love the fact he just slept through the whole thing. I kinda suspected.
That was before the insane mechanoid and the homicidal computer and the ship almost blown up and all."
Lister nodded. He'd figured it would have been something like that.
Brilliant!
"Hey, they're not a sex handle, ya know!"
Ahhhh! Sex handle!!!!
Madras sause! *ahem*
I seem to have run even longer then previously. Love how the story played out - lovely ending, happy but not flufy, you know? Nice resolution with the Cat thing, very funny. The Computer is still scary, but at least she is no longer homosidal.Oh, and the sex bit was...yeah. Wonderful fic guys. I just gotta ask, are there more adventures in store?

I know; numb!Rimmer killed me too. I felt so horrible for what Kryten did to him - I knew it would shake him, but not to what extent. Oh well, it's all good now!
Rimmer is frustrating. Both Lister and I are used to it by this point, but it's no less annoying! Takes forever to make him understand something, and even then he'll get it slightly wrong. Ah, but we love him anyway. *restrains self from tousling hair*
We had some great line-exchanges in this one, I feel. And many of them came out while we did the dialog - damn, we're good. Ahem. *snort* Hehehe...
I was Cat for this bit, and I loved it! He's fun to be, but he doesn't think much. Which can be a relief, actually, hehehe...
And yes, sex handle. I couldn't resist. ;)
Thank you so much! There's just nothing like knowing your fics are apreciated to this level. Makes me happy. :) As for more adventures - well - there are in my head, at any rate. The problem is, as roadstergal is well aware, that I can't stop plotting!

Ach, well, Rimmer has a bit of a blind spot where Lister is concerned. Where relationships in general are, actually. You remember Ace's attitude to relationships in SMAC, and I wanted to keep that going with this Ace. :p
Oh, god, headdusting - we had swapped things up at that point so that kahvi was Kryten, and I just died laughing. Also, though, I had no idea at that point what had happened to Lister and Kochanski, which helped with that scene...
Also blame Kat for the "knew it would be something like that" and "sex handle" comments. :D
Glad you liked!

The "knew it would be something like that" line just came to me as I was skimming your edit, and I had to note it down right away. ;)
