Okay, so we actually have an interesting insight into Renee here - She's a compulsive liar; she said something about Brun that Elliott knew was false (and, one assumes she knew that he knew was false) but said it anyway as if it were true. She also moves on from that without an eyeblink, which suggests that this is something she does a lot and doesn't mind being called out over because it doesn't matter to her.
Then there is the advocacy of violence; one assumes she is just joking but, again, Elliott's behaviour just doesn't seem to back up that assumption. Either she likes playing with his head or there is something quite concerning about her essential nature here. I can't quite put my finger on it but Jeph really scripted her weirdly today.
Meanwhile, something tells me that, when Brun wakes up, she will be able to define 'headache' with a precision no-one has before.
Tova:
Not so much a compulsive liar as a teller of tall tales.

AFAIK, this applies only if you call it a "Bier". A "Bräu" can be any demonic brew you can come up with.
(Probably not really, but, anyway, rules are relaxed for non-"Bier".)

I'm more concerned about how much oxygen she's getting underneath that jacket.

Uh, those kinds of diagnoses mostly require observing a pattern of behaviour that we cannot claim to have seen - we see only snippets out of each characters weekly lives - as well as extensive specialized training & experience in clinical psychology. As far as I'm aware, none of us has either that training, or the opportunity.
Could just as well be "snarky fibbing" - which is a condition we all in this good thread here seem to relish 'suffering' from. :laugh:
She seems to be channelling Mieville - either that, or he is (as has been suggested upthread), a stoner demon periodically possessing female characters?
I'm more worried about Elliot, though - the last panel seems to suggest he has a suppressed 'darker side' similar to Hanners. Given his size and aptitude at physical altercations, that could become ... interesting? :-\
