The countdown to 3,000...
BenRG:
Given that the Clinton-Emily conversation is going into next week, I'm going to put down my marker that Strip 3000 will focus in some way on them. Either Clinton will make a decision about them that will affect many characters or Emily will announced The Dark Truth about her origins and mysterious abilities.

What if Claire is hired as the Smith Librarian? Would it stress her relationship with Marten if she became the one giving orders? Would it be like one of those sitcom episodes where two characters see each other naked in an innocent mistake and suddenly the balance of power shifts?
Method of Madness:
Wait, why would the balance of power shift if both characters saw the other naked?
mustang6172:
It's always more injurious to the dominant character, because (s)he is brought down (if only slightly closer) to the submissive character's level.
This trope isn't as popular as it used to be. These days characters can have a similar story by drunk dialing each other.

It'd be a subtle change. The dynamic of the relationship that makes Claire good for Marten is he's in the lead. But at the same time it's not like Marten isn't used to getting bossed around by women. So while it might hurt the relationship a bit, it's not like it'd lead to a explosion of drama.
For that reason I'm not sure if that's a good way to go about things, it doesn't really do a lot for the story. Claire will very likely get a job, but as for Marten answering to her I think the only interesting thing that might come out of it storywise is if he decided to move on professionally. Do the band thing. Maybe work at a music store. Start a webcomic.
