Who is the most normal person in Northampton?
I nominate owner-of-Rupert.

Thanks, I'll remember this for next time :D
Also: define 'normal'.
--- End quote ---
The standard by which everyone else is defined- grumpier than-, more childish than-, snarkier than-, less likely to commit crimes than-. The perfectly grey and neutral figure, that by dint of the grinding of more stand-out characters against their rough edges has become eroded into a smooth, frictionless shape in the narrative. Someone unable to influence or inspire the plot because conflict simply slides off the surfaces of their formless character.
By which I mean it’s Marten. Obviously. :-D
Farideh:
New comic.
Marigold is me. I don't want a lot of money, I want enough money (to pay for necessities and some fun stuff).
Gnabberwocky:
It's a little inconvenient that Marigold's streaming career took off now, rather than a few weeks back, because she maybe could have paid for a new body for May. As it is, I wonder where that money will end up. Union Robotics? The AI rights foundation? New suspension for Greg the dump truck?
starkruzr:
as someone who has had to struggle with money before I've never understood this attitude. you can burn through a LOT of fucking cash doing incredibly sensible, non-"influencer" things like buying a home, putting money toward retirement, putting more money toward a theoretical children's college fund, taking care of friends' and families' debts, etc.
luckily it seems like Hannelore is going to handle Marigold's anxiety about all this expertly.
Farideh:
From the looks of it, before she became a streaming sensation, Marigold had an income that was sufficient for her lifestyle. Now she has way more than she needs, and she never considered what she would do with an unexpected windfall. Putting it in a savings account until she figures that out is a good plan.
