You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Oh?? Hey, Matt... Need a beardtastic date?

Nah, I have decided that watching a distant black speck that is theoretically Elvira and hearing her alleged voice over the static of loudspeakers is not that appealing.

My friend Nathan says it's a weird (loaded) gift.

I agree. Pajamas are great gifts for relatives, galpals, and kids, but it sends an odd message to an unrelated adult male.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If a good male friend gave me unsexy jammies, I'd not think anything of it.

But I have platonically given boxers, including silk. We just knew it wasn't a sex thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Suppose you allow 16 bucks a piece for dinner and drinks

At Fisherman's Wharf, during the holiday season? Dicey. Depends on what the food is, I guess, and how long you need the place.

What is even happening?

I think I'm with Nathan and Matt on this, in general, but I also think it just depends on the friendship.

Allyson, would your mind, even for a second, get a teeeny bit weirded if this person gave you jammies? That's probably the best way to decide.

Yeah, I'd say no silk, but otherwise fine.

I don't think women necessarily receive sleepwear as a loaded gift, based on the responses above. Guys are used to receiving clothing other than ties and socks from significant others, parents, and much older relatives. I'm not saying dude would necessarily assume Allyson was hitting on him, but I'll bet folding money he'd find the gift weird.

How does that differ from who women are used to receiving clothing from?

Unless he knows Allyson well...so in that case one shouldn't listen to Nathan, because he's not privy to the relationship details. But nor are we.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ayup. And with the amount of people, I can't just rent a restaurant.

I can do it, it'll just take work. Gnegh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Rent a boat!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Does that plot sound like it was used elsewhere?

Yes IRL Look up "slavemaster" on Snopes.com
