eschaton:
FWIW, I'm not sure I'd want my first time with anyone, let alone a virgin, to be when I was dead tired. Both because I'd prefer to be at "peak performance" as it were, and I'd be concerned that falling asleep immediately after deflowering would be a faux pas.
Maybe I overthink things more than Marten, but I think we're pretty similar in a lot of ways actually. I don't think he'd be axious per-se, but he would be beside himself with the desire to make things "go right."
So yeah, put me in the it was makeouts only camp. I think Jeph would give fuckin more of a buildup than this. That is, unless he decided the way to deal with how sensitive some people are about the sex lives of trans characters was to basically never say one way or another if Marten and Claire are actually doin it.

...and there went my coffee. :laugh:

Depends on the circumstances. Given that he's clearly pretty tired, I don't think she'd take it personally, but she'd probably tease him mercilessly afterwards.
--- Quote from: swapna on 05 Feb 2015, 01:50 ---This comic would have benefited from a few words, since I can't imagine showing up at my partner's house after such an incident and not asking about their and their friend's well-being, and this comic rushes through - open door/make-outs/disappearing in a bedroom.

Sometimes the look on someone's face was enough to let me know they could really use a hug. Comfort first, conversation after. But maybe that's just me.

For a first time, maybe. But don't sleep on tired sex (pun only partly intended).
--- Quote from: USS Martenclaire on 05 Feb 2015, 00:15 ---My prediction for tomorrow is that its the following morning. We see Marten kiss Claire goodbye at the door and we have no idea whether they slept together, kissed and cuddled or built a duvet fort together. :p
--- End quote ---
My money's on the duvet fort, though given recent discussion, someone will probably complain that it's too soon. :P

Fair point, but we still don't really know how much time has elapsed since Faye's collapse: they could have talked about all that on the phone, depiction of which wouldn't have made interesting comic material, other than giving us a clue about what's going on in their minds. If that had happened, no words would be needed now.
I'm sticking with the theory of hastily catching up with lost time after an interrupted (never even started) date.

Besides, the not-knowing is likely to drive Clinton more crazy than knowing will; she'd keep a lid on it for that reason alone. One could also substitute "the forum" and "Jeph would" into the sentence above and have a good indication of how things are going to play out. :evil:
Smallest:
I dunno if they'll have sex, but I don't think it's that unlikely. I mean, it's 50/50 to me now, they could be going to the bedroom for a hug and kiss and talk session, or just going to make out, or decide not to have sex at the last minute, but I don't think sex is that surprising. I don't know a ton about Marten's inner workings, but a lot of the time, once a stressful situation is resolved (and sometimes before), fucking seems like a great idea. I don't think Marten's really an angry sex (using this as shorthand for self serving and detached, as well as hard) kind of guy (since I know that's how some of my wording could be interpreted), but I really think he could be at a moment where he's combining a need for an outlet for the stress, 'here is this girl that I think is great,' and, probably subconsciously, the reasoning that something loving and happy right now would be really, really good for a change. Again, that doesn't only mean sex, it could be a number of other options, but I definitely wouldn't rule sex out based on it having been a stressful or hard night.
Regarding tiredness, he probably got his second wind around the time Faye went to bed and he realized he could go to sleep.

--- Quote from: gprimr1 on 05 Feb 2015, 09:36 ---Some say that the best time to have sex is the first date. No wondering how he or she is in bed, no long sexual tension period.
--- End quote ---
Yes, but then why bother at all, unless you think sex is the most important thing in a relationship? (No judgment here by the way, you might well think that, and why not).
--- End quote ---
While definitely not the most important thing, sex can certainly be a dealbreaker. I'm too STD paranoid to have sex on first dates if I was really dating (vs happened to start seeing someone more organically when not really looking, and also vs being monogamously married), but reasonably it's something I'd want to do.

Damn.
--- End quote ---
Wait, what? Was there a different version of 2890, or was it just posted early? I hate missing things.
My thoughts though, wander into some other territory. I am forced to wonder where this is going to go (and yes, a part of me wishes there was a Slipshine episode, if only to understand the mechanics of this). I worry that this could become a turning point. I mean, up until now, Claire's... equipment... hasn't been an issue. This is the point at which it COULD become one. On the other hand, considering Marten's upbringing, chances are he's far more open minded about that kind of thing.
It will be interesting to see how this develops.

It's worth noting that Word of Jeph is that that's never going to be brought up in comic, and the forum rules prohibit discussion of that, for what it's worth.
