NilsO:
Meanwhile, it is still 9 AM in QC. Marigold still has a lot of waiting to do. With the usual time dilation effect, we should expect Dale to arrive around Easter (our time). Marten is probably walking home, depressed and lonely. I assume it is Sunday morning, someone (probably Dora) is opening CoD. Tai is on her way to report about Marten's activities last night.

So, what else can happen during a long and boring day? We shall see tomorrow!

If it's not uncomfortable and not causing her any problems, and it's clearly not putting off Dale from wanting to date her, then why should she scrub her skin with chemicals? Maybe I'm a little sensitive since I lived with acne for over a decade and was bullied about it but your post seems pretty shaming - "if you just tried harder you'd have better skin, why are you so lazy and therefore ugly?".

I have awful skin too. Thankfully I outgrew the worst of it (constant rashes on my forehead spreading down my face), but I still have worse than normal skin. I don't think me or Marigold is ugly though (she actually looks like my friend's prettier sister, although a truly ugly character would be conceptually interesting). The reason Marigold bothers me is that she complains about her appearance, which is a problem, and given her history of uncleanliness but recent showering and stuff (I can't get this down on paper the way I want it to read), it doesn't seem like she's working on that part. Of course I could be wrong, but my interpretation is that she isn't trying, not has incurable skin issues, and although early on I might have gone 'poor marigold doesn't know how to take care of her skin and feels ugly :(' I feel like by now, one of the girls (most likely Hanners) would have helped her figure that out. The complaining but not trying to fix it is what bothers me. Maybe she has tried to fix it, but it doesn't seem so.

Not sure if I made that any more understandable or less offensive. I think I repeated myself trying to clarify which makes me sound dumb, whoops.

Regarding whether or not it's acne- what I thought were blackheads could be moles or freckles, but most of the spots move around

Barmymoo:
Spots aren't anything to do with cleanliness though, they're usually caused by either a bacterial infection or fluctuating hormonal levels.

You ever known anyone with self-esteem issues before? Know how many overweight people I know who complain about feeling fat and do absolutely nothing about it because they think it won't make a difference? It's pretty common. When people experience self-loathing they don't think anything will help.
