Exactly. In real life, you can get chemical burns. Nobody in QC has been hit with a bucket of acid yet.

YET!
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Boomslang on 09 Dec 2010, 02:24 ---It's almost like she's married her neuroses, and was cheating on them with Marten, and now the affair is over and she's going back to be with her mental equivalent of an abusive spouse, and that's somehow 'back to normal'. As I write this, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for her.

That is a good psychological insight, and a splendid turn of phrase.

--- Quote ---Sven earns twelve Big-Brother Points. He upgrades into "Decent Human Being" and gains the Empathy (level one) ability.

BZZZT.
Sven has, in the past (too damn lazy to link), shown empathy and consideration towards Dora. Interestingly, he's been trying to show/develop both empathy and consideration for the feelings of others (Think his discussions with Marten, his discussion with Will, his lack of 'play' whilst reading in the Horrible Revelation)
These are not new abilities, though in the past they have been Decent Human Being (Dora), and Empathy (Dora).

--- Quote from: Boomslang on 09 Dec 2010, 01:30 ---Yeah, this is really cute and all, it's genuinely touching, but I'd like to see just a smidge of concern for Marten. Really, Dora does not have any sort of right to feel sorry for herself, no one had any input or control over this besides her, and if she had gotten any advice from any of her friends, they'd have told her not to, or at least told her to do it way different.
I can assume she feels guilty over how much she hurt Marten right now, but it's not being shown. It really does feel like now that she's broken up with him, he no longer exists, and it's just poor little Dora alone in the world. It's only been a day, but it seems like she's 'gotten over' Marten the person already, and is only grieving for the way her life was before she decided to change it.

I may change my mind later depending on what happens, but that's how I feel about it right now too.
Also, it's irritated me for a long time that people speak of Sven as if he isn't a human being. He's plenty human in that he makes lots of bad choices just like everyone else does. I don't mean to downplay some of the stupid shit he's done, but I also don't think he's a soulless monster.
