When Claire moves out she needs to be Tai's roommate.
She's the stuck up professional.
She's the irresponsible free spirit.
And we've got a sitcom!
Akima:
Crouching Emily, Hidden Condoms.
--- Quote from: Boomslang on 05 Jan 2015, 08:47 ---And, depending on exactly when and where we're talking, almost everything else too. There's something about human brains that not only decides the weird shimmery liquid is obviously magic, but that it's exactly the sort of magic that will cure disease and stop you from aging. Both of which it does, in a highly technical sense, but not in a sense useful to the poor person who just consumed mercury.

Putting mercury in "elixirs of immortality" was definitely a thing in ancient China. It is widely believe that the increasingly deranged and murderous behaviour of Qin Shi Huang in later life was caused by consuming such potions, and that he died from mercury poisoning.

Yeah, I do get the feel of "The lady doth protest too much" too. :wink:
Rghfrgl:
I actually don't think so. Her seriousness about her work is a pretty important character trait I think. She probably would try and dodge the issue if they were suggesting sexy times in another environment, but I don't think that's what she's doing here. She's no plans of library lewdness. If such a thing does happen it'd be a heat of the moment thing and she'd probably feel super guilty afterwards.

Public libraries, sure. On the other hand, that does sum up my experiences with university libraries pretty well.
