    Summary

    "You can literally hear inside me when you focus, bud. Has observing the action of my gallbladder in HD made you think less of me as a person, or humanity as a whole?"

    [Yes,] Rocky says without hesitation, which makes Grace choke on a laugh. He amends, […at first. Then I get used to. Kind of cute now. Humans need infinity liquids to do basic process, always new mucus…]

    "I bet I'm gonna find your ultra-high-temp organs super cute too," Grace offers with an irrepressible grin, "and actually, okay, this strikes me as a morale problem. You're getting too down on yourself. I promise you there is nothing I could find rearranging your—" Nope. "—digging around in there that would shame the entire Eridian race."

    [No way for you to know this,] Rocky says flatly.

    "There definitely is, because I'm gonna shame the entire human race first."

    This is how they spend the next three days on the glove box addition while Mary reads to them from the unreleased 2021 NEISS report, filtered by incidents requiring extraction of foreign objects from the 'lower trunk' or 'pubic region'.

    (or, Rocky eats something inedible. Grace helps. They both get Really Weird About It.)

    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.
