--- Quote from: OldGoat on 13 Feb 2017, 06:26 ---Mature people's stable relationships with each other don't provide much conflict to write about. Relationships involving Faye stay interesting because she's a well of emotional turmoil.

"Mature" and "stable" mean wise management of conflict. Conflict still happens.

Bingo. Being mature and stable just means you handle the conflicts better, not that conflicts don't happen.

Look at two of the biggest examples of couples in entertainment in recent years - Friends. The conflict between Ross & Rachel was caused by their own inane insecurities and unwillingness to communicate. Compare that to Monica & Chandler who were both deeply insecure people to begin with but by talking to each other, they managed to maintain a loving, supportive relationship for more than half of the show's run.
A couple doesn't need drama to be interesting, nor do they have to provide themselves.
Kugai:
I can see Bubbles and Faye going onto the Robot Repair business together with faye doing the odd commissioned artwork on the side. I wonder if Punchbot witl contact the and get them to do the da the day-to-day work at the Skate Park/Fight Club now that he owns the place?
I suspect we may or may not see the final fate of Corpse Witch.

Although that might be closer to Robot Hell rather than Robot Jail.

--- End quote ---
The age they're at would be kid o'clock for some people, but I don't think any of the QC characters are ready for kids (even if Jeph wanted babies in the comic). Marten and Claire are in a good place as of their last appearance, but not married or living together yet. Not sure about Tai but Dora doesn't want kids. Marigold and Dale are in their first ever relationship, and she at least is fairly immature. (Come to think of it, Claire is in her first relationship, too). Faye is the only character who has mentioned possibly wanting kids someday iirc, and she is currently single and jobless. The unemployment probably won't last long at all, but as OldGoat pointed out, she's also a well of personal turmoil.
Which leaves...Will and Penelope? Calling it now, next arc is those two suddenly having a very blonde, very well-read baby :-P

Or someone could come across an adorable abandoned orphan or discover a wisecracking cousin whose parents just died (in a dreadful fire, perhaps?) and they have to raise them. Big Laffs!
(Note that if that happens, even I'm leaving. )
brasca:
I still think that there is a shadowy organization concerned that an AI can do as they please and will collect Corpse Witch in their efforts to trap or eliminate Creepybot. Considering that they don't normally make appearances unless they are personally offended by something similar to what Corpse Witch did this is just the kind of button such an organization can push to attract Creepybot.
One other possibility is that Corpse Witch's experience with Creepybot will inspire her to create a religion and why not? Creepybot is as close to a god like being any AI or human is likely to meet so I can totally believe she would create a cult around them. As such Creepybot may have created an even worse monster because religious fundamentalists can be the worst people. I certainly would prefer the cynical manipulator of down on their luck AIs over an insufferable religious zealot any day.
