Half Empty Coffee Cup:
I think I'd like to see Faye go to Dora and apologize for the breach of trust. Don't know when or if it'll happen, but it feels like the right move to me. (Note: And not as a prelude to begging for the job again, I think Faye knows that ship has sailed.)
EDIT: Schmorgluck: Aw hell.
drmike:
Just to mention my eyes change color with my mood. That's could be what's happening here.
Story idea follows....
(click to show/hide)And in the back of my mind of have this story idea of Pintsize contacting all of the AnthroPCs in town about Faye's getting firing leading to a candle light protest in front of CoD....

There's a critical difference between Marten and Dora. Marten didn't know that Faye had a serious problem. Whereas Faye told Dora to her face that she wanted to be drunk all the time, including while at work. Dora's response was to tell her not to drink at work, and then drop the subject.
I feel like I keep running back to this, but I see it as an important moment, Dora seriously dropped the friendship ball there. And being shocked somehow when Faye came in drunk the next day and started drinking on the job, after having specifically told her she was going to do exactly those things, makes Dora seem stupider than we know her to be.

Sven has some maturing to do, but I don't think he would go that low as to go after Faye right now. I could see him trying to be kind and supportive.. and that being seen and misconstrued. But going after a girl who clearly turned you down after breaking up and getting fired is really low.

Exactly how did Dora "drop the friendship ball"? Faye had just broken up with her boyfriend in a somewhat terrible way less then a week before. Faye was going through a pretty shitty time. Don't know about you, but the last time I went through a breakup that bad, I downed an entire bottle of whiskey in one night. People want to avoid the pain and from Dora's perspective Faye was doing what everyone does. Hell, Faye is about as welcoming as a rattlesnake with a thorn in it's side at the best of times, and she's shown several times that she does not appreciate people trying to pry into her life.
I'm going to say this large and bold lettering, so everyone can be clear: DORA IS NOT FAYE'S KEEPER. DORA DOES NOT POSSESS ANY FORM OF OMNISCIENCE. FAYE IS NOT AN INFANT TO BE CODDLED. EVERY ACTION WAS HER CHOICE AND HER RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS NOT ON MARTEN OR DORA OR ANYONE ELSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FAYE. FAYE IS A GROWN ASS WOMAN AND CAPABLE OF MAKING HER OWN DECISIONS AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HERSELF AND HERSELF ALONE!
