Poor Martin just can't catch a break, can he?
He tries to vent at work and gets told to shut up.
His mom's coming soon despite him clearly not wanting it, thereby raising stress and tension levels.
He tries to vent at Faye when she gets back, but she won't have any of it. (Understandable as he's attacking/insulting her).
And for that, getting knocked the fuck out is "what's coming to him"?
Seriously?
Dude just needs to be left alone for a while.

But he is wondering why after all his work at being a good friend and a good boyfriend, things are working out for everyone, but him.
And if you've never been in that place in life (smile and the world kicks you in the teeth) I can only tell you he's doing what any rational human would.

And Faye of all people should understand that feeling.
I suspect this will blow over fairly quickly, though I must confess I will squeal delightedly if she also calls back to the moment I referenced.

--- Quote from: Mustakyy on 15 Dec 2010, 13:57 ---Ouch. Truly sorry to hear that. I can understand the survival adrenalin reaction which Faye seems to have had, but on the other hand, if she's had any kind of martial arts training (dont know, just assuming because of the fighting stance), one of the first things you learn (atleast after basic training course), is some kind of restraint. Because, with proper training, you can do quite a lot of damage with "just one" strike (and especially to a drunken pencilneck like marten :roll:).

Oddly enough, it was just this past Saturday when I was talking to a friend of mine about how I fully expect that I would get in trouble for "overdoing it" if I ever needed to defend myself (so far, the "nobody wants to rape a fat chick" fallacy is still holding, knock on wood). My friend said that she very deliberately STOPPED testing for belts (judo IIRC) after a certain level precisely BECAUSE if she stayed below a certain registered level of proficiency, she would not be held as responsible for excessive violence than she would be if she actually got all the way up to black belt. (I don't know if the bit about needing to register herself as a deadly weapon was literal or hyperbole.)

Heh. Excessively violent with judo.
Although you could break limbs yeah.
Kugai:
I suspect the sock to the jaw will be just the proverbial kick in the pants that Marten needs at this point.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when Ms. Vance shows up though.
