--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 28 Jun 2016, 02:01 ---I also used to miss the title, but now I usually check it after reading Jeph's little remarks at the bottom.
Today's, incidentally, is relevant: "Bubbles doesn't have a credit card, she finds the concept offensive"
I can actually see a number of reasons why an AI might not like digital payment methods. I consider these remarks canon until proven otherwise. :wink:
--- End quote ---
But is it the concept of digital payment she finds offensive or the concept of monetary debt credit [brain, words please] that she finds offensive?
oddtail:
No, Bubbles, no. "fucking off" is in tho other direction!
(sorry, couldn't resist)
More seriously though, I'm genuinely both curious and invested in what happens next. I think Bubbles might consider or try to prevent Faye from buying liquor with more than just calm argumentation, and I guess that could potentially be even worse. Both my limited knowledge and limited experience of people with addictions is that if they are stopped from indulging in their addiction by an outside force, or even feel they've been forced or coerced by someone else (even if it's not true), it tends not to last.
Right now I'm kinda worried, because I don't see any possibility of this ending well in a way that wouldn't feel like an easy, unrealistic "out", plot-wise.
Channelore HellicottAtham:
Glad to see what others are posting in here, as Faye seemed to be getting her knickers in a twist about absolutely nothing at all and it just seemed a vehicle for reciprocal being-there-in-dark-times between her and Bubbles. Jeph is not nearly so clumsy in his storytelling and I couldn't make it out, but I'd forgotten her earlier realisation that she's not had a drink in a long time. This plus change at CoD - as well as perhaps the less offensive yet still disturbing things-doing-fine-without-you thing, though she knew that already from her previous visit - have perhaps given her Reasons. Either way I feel we're still in for a reciprocal friend in need thing..
gopher:
This is the self-absorbed, thoroughly unpleasant Faye of yore.
St.Clair:
What's brick red, about the size of a wall, and roughly as immovable when she wants to be?
