--- Quote from: War Sparrow on 07 Oct 2015, 20:02 ---I still like Bubbles. I just don't understand why she's there, even to prove a point. Part of me thinks she's a bit overwhelmed because she is surrounded by strangers who are not exactly polite, and can't decide if she should leave or not. It might to have been a good idea for Faye to engage her in conversation and let the others join in, or not, at the onset, instead of giving the others a chance to treat her like a sideshow.

I don't understand why Faye invited her to a party, and then instead of being the one to try to engage her and integrate her into the group, she sends Marten (even after he states that he is scared of her) over to talk to her. Why should he have had to be the one to "put her at ease"? He doesn't know her, and their only interaction certainly gave him no reason to want to get to know her. All Faye did was introduce her to everybody and then leave her to figure out things for herself. Not exactly the best tactic to use for a person/AI who clearly does not have the best social skills.

It's simple enough. Faye already knows Bubbles is comfortable enough with her to talk to her in any and all scenarios; comfortable enough even to insult her. What Faye is trying to do is push Bubbles out of her antisocial shell by forcing her to both interact with and also to find value in interacting with total strangers.
War Sparrow:
But she isn't antisocial. She's aggressive, but not antisocial aggressive. More like asocial. And while Faye's approach may work with some people..Bubbles doesn't seem to find value in talking to people she does know, much less strangers.
If she does stick around, I think it might be interesting for Hanners to talk to her. I can't recall any of the others(save Momo) being interested in "serious" topics, like politics, or mathematical knitting.
I just classified "mathematical knitting" as a serious topic. hm.

That's my guess. Maybe Pintsize has never been crude to her before, and his revert to form was the last straw. I guess we will see.
