Tova:
To be totally fair to Steve, it is perhaps not surprising that watching a relationship that he regarded as being pretty solid self destruct might be enough to make him feel a bit nervous, particularly when about to take a big new step. I think that's all he's trying to express here. I mean, I understand Marten's initial reaction, but I'm sure Steve is far from being malicious.
(edited for grammatical agreement...)

What a bunch of lazy bums, I'd cover that just by extending my daily run another 20 minutes (but then, I'm trying to get in shape for a marathon, so whatever).

Nine miles in twenty minutes would require an average speed of 27mph (43kph). Personally, I'd have trouble doing that on my bicycle. I am in awe of your athleticism...

I think the best the human body can manage is about 25 km/h.
Animals might manage 50 km/h, some for short distances 100 km/h, but thats about it.

It was already covered, but the word "extending" in my original remark makes it a little easier to figure out, and my current time is 7 miles in 50 minutes (I run in the evenings after work, and only really stop because the sun is going down and I need to get back home before it's too dark to see where I am going). A decent pace, but nothing spectacular since it's just a fast jog and nothing like what I could do if I could keep up my actual running pace for that long.

Oh. I see your point"
:lol:

Cosette might have issues, who hasnt, but she's anything but messed up. She seems quite stable to me. In fact, if she has a boyfriend like Steve, she HAS to be very stable.

Steve actually has a point, though. How long have he and Cosette been dating (never mind that he shouldn't be moving in with someone if he doesn't think it is a good idea and the relationship doomed due to that alone)?

This made me spit out my drink. I know you were being sarcastic, or perhaps misunderstood what you quoted but imagining someone running faster than the cars going speed limit on a small road made me laugh. And then doing that for 9 miles? Ow, I'm still laughing. He wouldn't have to worry about gas prices.
Tergon:
Well, his friendship with Faye has been violent but sincere, I'll grant you. And before he hooked up with Dora it was going fine there, and... well, hooking up with a close friend only ends in two possible ways. Either you're soulmates and stick together until you die, or else when it ends, it's bad for all the people within the blast radius.
But aside from those two, I don't think he's been hurt by anyone really. Steve is being a dick here, but in his own weird way he's been there for Marten in the past. Hanners may one day snap and kill everyone, but until that day she's like his little sister. He got on fine with Raven, he seems to be cool with Penelope and Wil, he even gets on well with Sven despite a bit of hipster one-upsmanship. Marigold and Angus seem to have a pretty straightforward friendship with him, as does Tai except for the occasional TMI about her sex life.
His life seems fairly insane, but considering the destructive tiny robots and the rampant supervilliany from people like Hanners' folks, that seems par for the course for the QC-niverse. Friend-wise, I think he's doing okay.
themacnut:
It would cut down on the number of people who annoy you....
...of course it could lead to jail time as well, but hey, them's the breaks.
