--- Quote from: Lubricus on 18 Mar 2016, 06:07 ---Why are those two mutually exclusive? I want to be eccentric AND acceptable!

--- End quote ---

Well with the kind of people who read QC, I didn't think I'd have to spell it out - in fact I thought if I spelled it out people might think I was treating them as if they were stupid.  By acceptable, I meant "conforming to the societal concept of "normal"". 

"Eccentric or acceptable" was just catchier.

I know somebody who's after a May-Dismemberer relationship...

Over on the other comic, Alice quick-changed her overalls to armor with no explanation. Perhaps we're seeing how such things were first invented.

TheCollector:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 Mar 2016, 00:25 ---I'm increasing sure that coding is a borderline-savant talent for Emily. In normal interaction, she hovers above 'barely functional'. Put her in charge of computer-controlled machinery and she's a miracle worker!

What's next? Day wear for Veronica that, when activated, turns into 'work wear'? In the Marvel universe, 'unstable molecules' have long been the explanation for how super-suits do what they do. Emily seems on the verge of making it a reality!

--- Quote from: Perfectly Reasonable on 18 Mar 2016, 13:20 ---Also, Faye changes Dora's 'robot' to 'AI' when she shouts to Bubbles. (We already know that May dislikes the word.) Perhaps working around them on a daily basis has made Faye more sensitive to their views?

--- End quote ---

We've never seen that May dislikes being called a robot, and she's used it as a descriptor several times.  The only time she ever mentioned it was in a conversation with Dale in which she was comparing QC-style advanced AI androids to real-life 'can barely walk over and pick up a box' robots vis a vis the latter being capable of running a convenience store.
