Drunken Old Man:
I just hope we're finally finished with this deathly dull, one-note, thoroughly unpleasant character.
TheEvilDog:
Just going to step in here for a few minutes to offer my €0.02.
Let's review, shall we?
Faye invites Bubbles to a party. Bubbles says she'd rather not.
Faye, through pretty obvious and simple psychological manipulation, gets Bubbles to go to the party.
Faye throws party together at the last minute. Though that's par for the course with this crowd.
Faye, despite inviting Bubbles to the party, has the barest interaction with her work colleague other than introducing Bubbles to three people and leaves. Even when Bubbles says to Faye that she felt uncomfortable, Faye herself made no effort to put her at ease or to help her relax, instead sending a rather awkward Marten to try and talk to the antisocial combat android.
The onus here is on Faye, not on Bubbles.
Faye invited her to the party, despite the fact that Bubbles has through some subtle and not-so-subtle dialogue revealing that she is not a social person. And yet Bubbles made the effort to go to the party, yes, she was somewhat standoffish, but that's besides the point. If you get invited to a party by a work colleague, its not on you to try and talk to people, its on your colleague to introduce you and stick around for a while. Faye probably said somewhere along the lines of five sentences to Bubbles, leaving the android to the likes of Marten, Dale, Marigold and Pintsize. (A nervous and awkward Marten does not a good first impression make)
If I was treated like that at a party, I'd want to punch a wall too!
Both parties are in the wrong here, but it's Faye who let the situation get to that point.
Mr. Doctor:
I hope you are not blaming Marten for acting the way he did. Because the average joe WILL be scared if anyone took him/her by the collar and lift him/her up that way.

No, of course not. I'm merely saying that Faye and Bubbles did not act in the most appropriate manner given the situation. In Marten's case, Faye gave him no warning that her guest was going to be a seven foot tall combat android with an attitude problem. Of course Marten is not going to give the best impression and given Bubble's attitude, his continued nervousness wouldn't have helped matters.
All I'm saying is that there are two parties at fault here, Faye and Bubbles. Or Fubbles. Or Baye(blade). (I have no idea why I did that)

Their first opening is so fucking metal. Thanks for reminding me of it.
