You really think so?
Marten: She wants us all to come out for drinks tonight. How about I offer our place instead?
Dishonest answer:
Faye: No, no, it's fine. I can handle bein' in a bar.
Honest answer:
Faye: No, no, it's fine, but I may need some help with this.
It seems so out of character for her to decide to hide this from Marten, of all people.

I was also very surprised that Faye didn't share her concerns about the bar with Marten. Not because of any beliefs about honesty is the best policy(*) but because I felt it was out of character for her, given what we've seen of their friendship post Faye's hospitalisation. She didn't hesitate to ask him to keep an eye on her in the past.
So I guess I'm leaning towards the "thinking about it while walking to work made her realise she wasn't as okay as she said she was" theory.
*(Personally I think that honesty is usually the best policy. But not always.)

I wonder if we're going to have a brief weird moment when Tai (or Dora) realise that 2 out the 4 of people who have come to celebrate with them aren't drinking. Bubbles could smell some alcohol or try a robot beer if she wanted to, but I'm sure she'd see helping Faye stay sober as much more important.
I sure hope that if there is such a moment, that Tai/Dora won't say any of the various thoughtless comments I've encountered over the years when people realise I'm not drinking. I don't drink because I don't want to, I imagine such comments would be even more difficult for Faye to deal with.

I think the comic makes it perfectly clear that from now on, Faye will be more inclined to ask Bubbles for that sort of help.

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 25 Apr 2019, 03:50 ---Well now I'm wondering if Tai is going to act as the tempter for Faye later in this story, trying to get her to have a drink to celebrate the engagement.
Of course, this could be an interesting time to look at Tai's own predilection for substance use and maybe some sort of realisation.
--- End quote ---
Do you think any use of substance is abuse? Honest question, no innuendo intended.
--- End quote ---
I didn't say abuse, I said use. There is a difference. But a consistent trait of Tai throughout the comic is that she has and does use drugs, with pot being her drug of choice.
What I was previously trying to get at was the idea that Tai might not necessarily think of Faye as an alcoholic or an addict, simply because they aren't particularly close, it might not occur to Tai that for Faye "just one drink" is anything but that.
Tai Fanboi:
I doubt it. Tai has been a few things in the comic but she's never forced anything on anyone as far as I can recall. She's in the circle of friends, she's assumingly talked to Dora about Faye when they had issues with her being fired from the coffee shop and why Dora had to do it, she assumingly knows about Faye quitting alcohol and trying to stop. It's at this point though, none of them but Bubbles know about the apprehension Faye has about being in the bar. I'd more expect Dolphin guy to show up and try to get her to drink more than Tai would.
Tai has always struck me more as someone who's experienced in many different forms of mood altering substances, but she's not a pusher trying to get others to join her in her endeavors, but if your on the same ride of your own free will and want to spend some time traveling together? Well that's cool.
Thrudd:
Slow to respond to the survey and all the good ones I thought of off the top of my head were already posted so how about a subway station in Toronto
NSFW (click to show/hide)
shanejayell:
It seemed entirely possible that Tai was calling her friends because Dora said NO and wanted to drown her sorrows... *shrug*
