#occulomata!kitt

[fork-in-the-crossroads]

Of the three eldritch machines in the Black UFO AU, Occulomata!KITT is the one that is the most vehemently against being able to fly. Occulomata!KARR jumped at the opportunity to be able to defy gravity on his own terms and observe the world from a vantage point several miles above ground. Occulomata!KRO thought it over for a moment as he weighed it against a heavy focus on teleportation and wormholes, but accepted it as an option on the side -- there's benefits to being able to ascend into the air and soar.

Occulomata!KITT however detests being off the ground outside of a prolonged leap. It's the altitude, the sensation of continuously falling, it's so disturbingly alien to him he cannot adjust.

some before work things that I think about with the Black UFO AU:

Occulomata!KRO and Occulomata!KITT centric since those two are the ones with the deepest connections to their partners.

Being able to wash themselves, shower off any grime on them from outside, but going to their partners anyway to ask them to wash them. Not because they have trouble reaching any spots, but because there is a comforting feel-good sensation they get from their partners swiping the sponge over them, rinsing them, drying them. They remember car washes when they had been vehicles, and while they could not feel the sponge or the wash rag on their shells the motions and the visuals of their partners devoting personal attention to them were comforting. Now that they can feel what their partners are doing it just adds an entirely new dimension to it.
