The second bit.

This is the nuttiest plan I've heard all week.

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

Oh my. Your Lister is smoldering hot. Phew. *fans self*

"Erm... we're not Simulants," Lister replied to the polite, cheerful, angular head on the comm-screen. "I'm human, and he's a Cat."
He's so cute! :D

Lister pulled his jacket and long johns apart to show his chest.
Guh. This fic is trying to kill me. And I think I like it. (Did I just lick my lips at work? o_O)

"The only problem with that is that someone is going to have to convince me that he is, first."
Funny man. :p

He picked up his guitar and sat on the midsection table. Come on, baby, he thought, stroking it. Get us out of this.
So hot. So my boy. But, you know, with your flavoring. Erm. That sounded odd. But I'm in a odd kind of place. ;)

Mechanoid piercings - hillarious!

"Ar," said the first one, in a smooth, cultured accent. "Prepare to be boarded, sirs. Good evening!"
Aw, so cute!

Well, I think we've firmly established that Rimmer is not Chris. I can't tell if a chord is an A. Not that I'm an expert, but people do pay me to sing. I suppose you could say that people pay Chris to sing too (hell, I would), but for entirely different reasons.

and gotten to the state of inebriation that had landed him on Red Dwarf in the first place.
Nice.

leaving his chest bare to the navel.
Glargh... And this whole sequence, up to the end - Rimmer and the boot - all of it - fan-smegging-tastic!

Thanks for making my morning. :)

Oooh, I'm glad you liked my Lister. :) Yes, Rimmer's a smeghead. Stop the press.

I just got stuck on the idea of mechanoid space pirates. Polite, civilized, clean, and arrrr!

Oh, he was just being a smeghead again - Lister's guitar was out of tune, so it just sounded like a jangly mess, not any chord at all. But the story is from Lister's POV, so of course the guitar sounds lovely to him - he only notes the negative reactions of Cat and Rimmer. Peasants.

Yaay! Thanks for the feedback.

Hehehe... "Arr", but pronounced in upper-class RP, which doesn't have rothic "r"'s. That made me giggle. Because it would be "aaaah", wouldn't it? So cute!

Oh right, of course! I tend forget that it's Lister POV, because it's so close to my own, so I didn't even consider narrator reliability. ;)
