--- Quote from: Rincewind on 15 Aug 2016, 22:57 ---It occurs to me that Bubbles and Elliott would make a pretty darn intimidating pair of bouncers. I'm not sure how Bubbles would feel about being considered "scary' though.

Bubbles has already told Faye that she is aware that some people find her intimidating. I don't think that she would be happy having a job where being scary was a key aspect of her duties. That said, I am sure that she knows how to use her sheer physical presence to deter aggression if needed to avoid violence.

With some coaxing and a resolute seamstress I could see her in 1890's masque ball finery, china mask, black lace bonnet, silk gloves et al, rendering patrons assistance when not standing by the end of the bar, silently watching and observing.
Oh oh oh - voice changer in the mask to make her sound like a Vorlon would be epic.
--- End quote ---
I don't think that its just her appearance that troubles Bubbles (heh), if it were, she could probably upgrade to a civilian chassis, or at least a far less intimidating one. Rather, I believe its the fact that she sees herself as a weapon, or close to one. Putting her into a position where she might have to use violence would be far more detrimental to Bubbles than anything else and we do know that she does have an anger management problem.
And to be fair, any bouncers I've ever met seem to be universally paragons of patience. They need to be. If word gets out that a bouncer beats the crap out of club/bar patrons, then no one is going to want to go there. Likewise I imagine that the anti-AI crowd would have a field day if Bubbles were forced to use her combat skills to eject a drunk or belligerent person from any bar.
cesium133:
Croissants are awesome. I get a bunch from the bakery stands at the farmers' market every time I go.
Welu:
One of my favourite memories is the time I bit into a croissant expecting it to be a plain one but turned out to be full of chocolate. Simple pleasures.
cesium133:
Personally I prefer the plain ones. But I'll take a chocolate one, too.
heyjames4:
Yes. All the croissants.
