Tai could just be micromanaging. Remember, she's desperate for this relationship to work, so she might feel compelled to be in control of every aspect of it, including the invitation. She's also kind of out of her element in terms of trying for a long term relationship, so it's a little understandable that she's a little shaky on how to act.

That's a recipe for failure in most relationships, particularly Dora.  The sooner she realizes it, the better.  I vote on not, as it will be one of the ways tension will start to brew.  Just because you're desperate to be in a relationship doesn't give you law in being the numero uno in all things related to your love interest.  That's callous and annoying.  I have a feeling Tai will be far worse about being insecure/ridiculous about all things Dora than Dora was about the non-existant Faye issue. 

I keep trying to like Tai in some way...but she usually takes one step forward and 3 steps back.  Her maturity level is still clearly lacking.

I also don't get how, even if it wasn't a faux-pas, a very close friend can't do the inviting and what not to another close friend.  I think it'd be common courtesy not to be an ass to the person who the person you're now dating and never gave you much shit about openly flirting with said intimate person while they were dating.  Marten should be racking up freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants around Dora after trying to continuously appease Tai's sensibilities. 

She really needs to stop being so self-absorbed in a relationship that hasn't even gotten off the ground yet in my opinion.  It's still parked at the gate and hasn't even begun refueling yet.


Sorry for the rant...I've had "supposed" friends like Tai before and they just rub me the wrong way.  Just don't jive with those types of folks.

Let's see:

* Steve
* Faye
* Dora
* Sven
* Amir
* Jimbo (if he's sober)
* Hannelore
* Angus
* Cosette
* Elliot
* Penelope
* Will
* Marigold
* Emily (obviously)
* Gabby (getting there)
* Claire (who's probably already going to be there)
* Clinton (though that's questionable)
* Momo
* Winslow
* Pintsize (No, he doesn't want him to burn Emily's parents place down)

Barmymoo:
Bear with me here, train of thought coming up.

1. I was surprised people thought Pintsize would be invited. I think this is because he is not really socially able to interact with strangers in an appropriate manner. I was also surprised that Winslow was suggested, even though he can. Conclusion: I did not consider anthroPCs to count as Marten's friends.

2. I was not surprised Momo is included in the list. Momo is also an anthroPC, but she looks more human.

3. Is Momo more socially adept now than she was in her old chassis? I feel as though the dynamic has shifted since she changed body - for a start, she now has a job and friends of her own, independent of Marigold.

jwhouk:
Actually, May, I was just thinking who Marten would call a "friend". I don't know if he'd actually invite Momo or Winslow.
