You know who we need to see again? Jimbo. We probably haven't seen him lately since he was an author avatar.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 29 Apr 2013, 10:43 ---Confiding in Marten in the first place suggests that Claire is a good judge of character.

If she is, then she'll realize that Marten is a better choice for a Just A Really Good Friend than for a romantic partner.

--- End quote ---
For her, maybe. What about for him?
The two sets {Really Good Friend} and {Romantic Partner} are not disjoint - which is why you said Just a Really Good Friend. I'll withold judgment on the "just" bit. Everyone seems to be concerned about Claire's welfare - which is really nice of them. I'm trying to think about Marten's too, his life hasn't been easy.

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 29 Apr 2013, 12:33 ---If you're monogamous, then all of your romantic relationships end...until one doesn't.
--- End quote ---
Some romantic relationships last longer than others, but they all end.

Peas on hurt; goodwill to all sentient beings.

--- Quote from: Loki on 29 Apr 2013, 07:37 ---In the last panel, we find out they switched bodies.

--- End quote ---
Which might be confusing, because today's strip involved a person whom already switched bodies. To their actual body from a wrong body. Despite never switching before.

Real life is stranger than fiction.

--- End quote ---
+1 Insightful and well put too.
i wonder if it could be accurately described as a casemod?

Meanwhile... I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to be in a chassis like Gordon's. Sort of a "+4 Dex, -15 Cha". How much of our opinions are based on appearances? Can we look behind someone's eyes, to see them rather than their body? Can we overcome our prejudices - though that's a bit of a tall order, I should de-scope.  Let's try "can I overcome my prejudices" based on appearance?

bhtooefr:
Actually, Zoe, you just made me think of something interesting...

Both Dora and Claire have severe hangups about fidelity.

If Jeph does decide to explore a relationship between Marten and Claire, there could be some damn interesting storytelling, as a contrast to Dora. Dora had to be THREATENED WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE to get help for her issues, we haven't seen whether Claire has or not, but presumably not.
