Goddammit.
On Marten: This dude. Right there. This dude is just begging for someone to put the "Arbor Day 2003" banner up again.
Although if that was the banner Tai had to put up, this could bring about some serious discussion. Like, did Tai know Pintsize from earlier? Which was the impression they left on each other? Was Pintsize using another name? Is Momo-sama going to punch him again?

Tai has met Pintsize, if memory serves. On the other hand, it'd make sense for her to have a banner like that, too, given that she hits the trees harder than Sonny Bono.
ReindeerFlotilla:
RIKER'S BEARD! Marten is being BAD! (in a good way.)
The point about this being "disrespectful" is valid, but I submit this is couples' behavior.How you find out where the boundaries are is by going with the flow until the flow bounces you off the walls. Then you have to decide if you're comfortable with where those walls are. That goes both ways.
We'll see if Claire's setting a hard line or soft line or something in between, but I figure this is a really cute set up for Tai-squee. Claire's a little more serious about the library than...everyone else.
I was thinking this was good setup for the punchline, "Sorry, can't talk about it. I went through the doors." It sets up a strict adherence to the letter of Claire's request. But SmugMarten is a much better button.

Sight gag is never explained or referred to again. I'm going with, Hatchets and hockey masks have perfectly logical explanations because no one comments on it after the punchline.

Maybe my wording was poor, as it tends to be. With "earlier" I meant something like Arbor Day 2003, that one hell of a party.

--- Quote from: NemoX on 26 Oct 2014, 18:11 ---I was actually thinking that would be the next point to be addressed, and the gang's reaction/thoughts about it. Who knows. If Emily does let it slip it may also cause a rift between her and Claire for a bit. I mean, the whole group has shown before they are pretty understanding and Jeph has mentioned before how one of QC's main things is inclusion. So I don't think in and of itself Claire being trans is going to be the source of drama, but more along the lines of "betrayal of trust" kind of things, which I could understand her being upset about, even if its done unintentionally.

--- Quote from: Aziraphale on 26 Oct 2014, 18:17 ---Maybe, maybe not. Jeph's already said that he doesn't want to have Claire's trans-ness to be a source of drama (at least not for the sake of it), but only he knows exactly what he means by that, or what that's going to mean for the story. Given that Claire wants this kept quiet for now and that Marten's been respectful of her wishes, if anybody finds out at the library, it won't be him telling them. However, Tai does know about the relationship, and her enthusiasm might well get the better of her. Emily outing Claire, on the other hand, is totally plausible given that her immediate reaction on being told to keep quiet about it was to let slip something else that was supposed to be secret. I don't think she'd do it out of malice, but she could very well do something out of sheer absentmindedness.
--- End quote ---
I definitely don't think it would be malicious; I agree that it'd more likely be an absent-minded slip-up in her excitement. I also agree that the drama - for lack of a better word - would be more an issue of betraying Claire's trust than the group having some issue with her being trans. If it does happen, I could see it ultimately being a positive experience for Claire (despite any initial mortification and friction with Emily), with everyone showing her support and acceptance.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
I don't think Claire blushing like an idiot is going to get old for anyone anytime soon.

Claire: "Alright, from now on, no couple talk, we're libraria-"
Emily: "Hey guys! Claire, why are you blushing so much?"
Claire: "Uh, no reason *glare at Marten*"
"...okay, NOW we're professiona-"
*walks into main foyer, Tai's got a banner and streamers up, blowing streamers*
Claire: "GODDAMMIT"
Just a thought, have we seen Emily at all since the kiss on the cheek, other than the "hopefully a dream sequence" basket of mice bit? That might be covered this week.

YES. I want Tai to throw a celebration so much.
