Mlle Germain:
I also think Marigold is being judged much too harshly here.
As I've said before in this thread, she just does not now how to deal with this kind of situation (remember how she acted when Francis showed interest in her and there was the prospect of having to talk to him alone, although she didn't know him at all - and they had not been in a fight for ages before that).
Also, Dale is not really innocent in this. Remember how many snide remarks she had to endure from him. I actually thought it was funny most of the time, but Marigold might not have, since she has little self-esteem and lots of experience with being bullied. A lot of those time she reacted quite well to that, though. I think Marigold secretly would like to appear cool and not much affected by anything Dale does, but is so nervous about it that she does not know how to pull that off properly. Of course, the Hissss is a little silly. But who isn't, once in a while?
I really don't think Marigold hates Dale at all, much less because of WoW. To me it seems much more that he makes her nervous and she doesn't know how to act around him.

Mlle Germain, I don't think there is a lot of harsh judgement here (some, sure, but not a lot). Emperor Norton said it pretty well:

But honestly, with where she is right now, it doesn't seem likely unless Dale shoves it in her face that she is being kind of a dick.

Because she jumps to conclusions like that, she needs to learn that automatically assuming the worst in people is only going to bring out the worst in yourself. Sure, some people are as dickish as that, but not everyone.
TL;DR - Marigold needs to wake up to herself, for her own benefit and for her development as a person.

All Marigold wants right now is to make a bee line for the MarBear Cave, and be left to stew in her own childish, distorted version of reality alone. I really hope Dale catches her first. There must be a back story for why he's been willing to put up with her bullshit for as long as he has.
Maybe he used to be like her himself?

I figure it is almost guaranteed Dale was ostracized as a kid like Marigold probably was. He's nerdy, heavy into WoW, etc, etc. Dale probably gave up caring what other people thought a long time go and now just goes with the flow (and he seems really laid back. To the point he's so mellow it's like he's on a weed high on the time). High time Marigold got over herself as well. Amazing she hasn't progressed much given the stable of friends she's gotten now.
I mean, for fuck's sake! She was only invited to go into SPACE! :psyduck:

I rather think that this a job for Hannelore. Or at least, if Hannelore were to point this out to her, a lesson might sink in.
