Timemaster:
Wow, Jeph is actually going for it. 8-)
I expected at least some days of talking before he´d go for the robot fighting, but here we are already. Now I´m really curious where this will lead. How will the fighter-robots look like? Who are the people or AI´s behind this fight-club? Will Faye actually do this? Will she make money of it? Enough to make a living? And if it´s illegal, will she need a regular job as a cover-up?
Questions over questions.
Anyway, this must be Pintsizes wet dream: carried around by Faye clutched to her bosoms. I wonder if he allready tried to squeeze them. Probaby not, as his head isn´t allready dented yet. :-D

It's very in character for Faye, though. I think she thought this through before she approached Pintsize - she knew she'd give it a shot it if there aren't some really big reasons not to (it's illegal, and that didn't deter her - she just asked how severe it was, because it's not worth decades in prison). There still are a few more hurdles, though - she has to get into the scene before she actually starts, get to know her clients, figure out prices, limits, etc. Maybe get vouched for by Pintsize...
And I don't know if she would need a regular job - she's basically just selling fancy metal pieces. She sold something like that before (The Espresso-Dinosaur), and nothing would stop her or the customer from declaring those things as art (which explains the prices) or fancy custom-made (very, very uncomfortable) chairs or something.
And I hope she doesn't get a regular job - Faye just isn't that good with random people. She might be able to work with customers she respects, who buy something that she loves to do, but she really isn't cut out to working retail, especially with that American the-customer's-always-right-and-if-you're-not-a-doormat-you-get-fired culture.
On to meta: I'm enjoying this storyline. It isn't heavy with unnecessary drama, it's got Faye and Pintsize who do understand each other at their really sarcastic and funny level, and it is actually a storyline with development. And the art is really, really nice.
BenRG:
The question that occurs to me is this: Are the skater kids in on this or are the members of the robot fight club just hiding behind their incompetence? Either way works but I know which is funnier. The Three Stooges always gets more laughs than Illuminati.
Unless you're playing the Paranoia table-top RPG, in which case the two merge but I digress...
Killspree:
I feel like Pintsize has acknowledged that Faye needs more help with life and social issues than Martin and is shifting his attentions.
MrNumbers:
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a QC story arc ever.
