Method of Madness:

--- Quote from: Tiogyr on 12 Jul 2011, 11:02 ---I meant the literal year, where (as far as anyone that has researched it can tell) the phrase "Nice Guys Finish Last" comes from (as a bastardization of a different quote by a baseball coach).

Yeah, but that's less "being passive agressive" and more "not intentionally stabbing people with baseball cleats when sliding into a base".

Is it cold in here?:
So, Dora figures she can't be serious with someone until she recovers a bit.

We haven't seen her do casual, but she's never ruled it out either, and she does tease about it. Many a true word is spoken in jest. She was probably, but not necessarily, teasing about letting Tai be her post-Marten rebound.

Tai has Real Feelings toward her.

If they get together, there could be drama from mismatched expectations. From what Dora knows of Tai, she'd expect to be a casual fling.

I hope this doesn't happen, because I don't want the imaginary people to get hurt.

I hope this doesn't happen because it would literally be the worst thing Jeph could do next to giving all the creepy Hannelore Rule #34 people their wish.

What makes you say that?

Tai is basically the hyperbolic lesbian slut, personified. Having Dora hook up with her in meaningless rebound sex after the conversation she just had with Jim would be a terrible, terrible direction for the story to go in.

Some random, nameless person at the party (Dude with wings on his shirt?), maybe. But not a named character that everyone is going to be able to put an out-of-character behavior interpretation on.

Unless Tai turns Dora down, that's the only way it could play out and still "work".
