Pintsize has spent years getting her used to the idea.
And may have poisoned the ground for Bubbles in the process.

Pintsize pretty much exists to discredit the concept. "The best way to lie convincingly is to tell the truth unconvincingly" and all that. Kind of like how aliens stage all that stuff with anal probes and cattle mutilations so that no one will believe anyone who actually sees an alien.
I wonder who Pintsize is working for?

Actually, Bubbles described some of the other possibilites to Faye. It was not comforting.

Interesting, because I have also heard the accusation that Campbell insisted that humans had to always be the smartest beings in the universe in any story he bought.

--- Quote from: shanejayell on 19 Jul 2017, 07:10 ---Aww. Bubbles is dealing with new emotional issues.
I sorta hope Jeph goes slow with this. Bubbles is still recovering from her (near) slavery with Corpse Witch after all. And Faye is kinda clueless too.

Best case scenario: Faye manages to pick her jaw up off of the floor in time to say that she is a mess and should not be starting a new relationship with anyone for some time (which is true) but that she owes her new life since her alcoholic breakdown to Bubbles and won't be going anywhere.
Anyone want to bet that the best case scenario is what's going to happen? Yeah, I didn't think so.

You know, you can edit posts and insert quotes.
Neko_Ali:
Keep in mind that Faye's break up and hospitalization is not recent. There were some serious time lapses shown and Faye worked at the skate park for months it seems. So we are talking at least half a year, possibly more since the break up. I'm not saying Faye needs to hop back in the relationship saddle. Given my history that would be a real laugh. But it's not like it is a raw subject like it would have been right after the break up, and Faye has done a lot of self work and growing in the mean time.
