--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 09 Aug 2021, 18:34 ---See, this is the kind of interaction that makes Yay such an interesting character to me. What about "mom vibes" make them willing to share stuff like that with a complete stranger, when otherwise they would just puff up their chest (as much as a non-breathing entity can do that) and stomp off?

It might not be as much as result of the mom vibes as it is a reflection of where Yay has gotten to in their own processing of it. They're clearly struggling to deal with the whole situation, in a way that they really haven't had to before; given that they've already passed the point of talking aloud to themselves in public, it's not such a huge step to tell it to a sympathetic listener instead. The mom vibes (along with the preceding conversation) only need to give Yay a feeling that Aurelia is likely to listen and not be overly judgemental.
St.Clair:
Talking to a sympathetic human about one's problems is really no stranger than talking to a rubber duck.
Really.
It's not like we like them or anything, baka.

I suspect it may be both. Someone who's a calm presence can sometimes make a world of difference for someone in conflict or who's hurting (in this case emotionally).

Ah, the postscript. Right.
Is it cold in here?:
If Yay means eavesdropping when talking about "old habits", that's a huge change and not necessarily a good one.
ZoeB reasoned that the QC world would be unstable without a shadowy omniscient presence like Spookybot. Are they leaving a power vacuum?
How can they be happy when not exercising their vital powers? Not looking at the world's information flow must be an even worse self-deprivation than a dog never sniffing anything.

I swear Aurelia gets younger by the comic.

She's positively adorable in the latest strip - "old lady" indeed.
