oh i love this: "carefully counted five Smartos into his palm from a box on top of the fridge--all blue, because it was just that kind of day--and dumped them in, trying his best to ignore the way his fingers were shaking."
again the details are splendid: the crazy bathrobe guy, the way fraser looks out the window, all of it. i can't keep putting in quotes or the whole story will be in the comments.
suffice to say that rays disappointment with the universe he lives in resounds beautifully and heightens the edge of his connection to fraser.
and i adore rays description of the old dances/dancers.
and oh. my. gods. fraser didn't know? holy bat dren. wow. and very cool how you've layered in bob "in here."
dief is fabulous. and yay for frannie. also, the guy named hal? cracks me up completely. :)
so perfect that ray bangs his head on the door. and that fraser tells him to get in the pod. *veg*
