There's a Climax, PA?There are at least half a dozen. I knew about the one in North Carolina and was going to make the joke about that one, but Google Maps told me of Climaxes in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Michigan, and Kentucky.
I wonder if any other state has one or if it's just KS and PA.
So hard to choose.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Jeph's planning a Strip 4000 wham that has something to do with Faye's destructive relationship with alcohol, although possibly not in the way that people expect.

Like schnaps-based Molotov cocktails?
Still no word from Dora though. And is Faye panicked because of the temptation to drink or something else. Anyway, cue ominous music.
Faye is definitely panicking about the possibility of Marten leaving. She declined an obvious way out of going to the bar, and will also have Bubbles looking out for her to make sure she doesn’t slip, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue. On the other hand, the possibility of Marten moving away feeds into her abandonment issues, and never mind the financial difficulty it might cause.
(snip first paragraph)...Now, I do believe that this is the first time Claire has successfully intimidated Faye and it tells us what she really takes seriously to the point where she'll accept no back talk: Her shipping! :laugh: Marten is, of course, being the good boyfriend by trying to prevent an explosion!
Ick!Just ask Brun and Clinton.
The part about keep track of exits is something everyone should do, though. Fires happen.
Is there a better place to post spelling corrections needed?

Faye: apocalpytic => apocalyptic
Cheers!
That seems far more likely than the idea that Faye would be uncomfortable about going to the bar but is being dishonest with Marten about it.
I don't think it's an issue of Faye being dishonest.
This is about Faye's condition colliding head-on with her desire to be there for Dora and her disinclination to make this about her (at least in her own mind). She doesn't want to spoil Dora's big day because of her 'weakness' and she doesn't want to distract Marten by giving him reason to worry about her. It's silly but I do think it's in character for Faye to want to avoid in any way drawing attention to her own needs in a situation like this.
Everything you say is absolutely true, and yet not one of those things makes what Faye said to Marten honest.

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.

At what point was it supposed to be 'honest'? However it is also not a malicious act on Faye's part. So, really, there is nothing to debate because whether or not she is being honest isn't the issue here. The issue is her very real fear and confronting this challenge.
I'm confident that Faye's friends, and especially Bubbles and Marten, who are very aware of the situation, will help her keep on track.

That's just it, you're always going to be strong when you have people around you, because you can always use them to distract you from that urge to drink. But what about those times when Faye is alone with her own thoughts. Suddenly she's having to resist that temptation all by herself and that's a lot harder to do on your own.

What I'm really waiting for: Was Cosmo's owner found or not? That cliffhanger is killing me...Dora and Tai were both involved with the finding of Cosmo. Maybe he could be the ringbearer?
After having spent some months teetotal, and now being largely abstinent or moderate, I have really noticed that I have lost whatever tolerance for drunks I possessed. It doesn't matter whether they're angry, happy, or affectionate drunks, now they're all just really fucking annoying.
I never said it was malicious, just that she was dishonest to Marten.
I'm getting a lot of disagreement on that point from people who apparently think there is nothing to debate. :psyduck:
Serious discussion aside...Bubbles' fitnesswear has been getting skimpier. This is a pleasing development.
Now that the concept of getting married is no longer ignorable, are Faye and Bubbles going to have a talk about where they are in their relationship?
Welcome to the human condition. As obvious as it is, nobody ever gets it.

I have a similar issue. I just sit there thinking 'you do this to yourself by choice. And it costs you so much money.'

To be fair, Tai invited them to the bar. Which from our perspective, left it leaning heavily towards Dora and Tai getting engaged. I mean, imagine how likely these two scenarios are:
Marten: "Hey Tai, why did you invite us out?"
Tai: "Well, I asked Dora if she would marry me and she said yes. We're engaged!"
Marten: "Congratulations!"
Or....
Marten: "Hey Tai, why did you invite us out?"
Tai: "Well, I asked Dora if she would marry me and she turned me down."
Marten: ".....Oh."
"We didn't invite you here for honest reactions!"
Ditto on the I-don't-like-being-drunk train.

It pleases me that, amongst the four primary "idiots," three have some sort of sheepish grin in panel 4, while Bubbles makes her "savings throw" statement with exactly the same expression.
IIRC we've only seen two other AI couples: Jeremy/7 and Melon/Arthur and whether they are married or not hasn't been stated AFAIK. And IIRC we haven't seen any other AI/human relations at all.
Have we ever heard of a married synthetic at all, ever? Is it something they even do?

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.

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.

Do you think any use of substance is abuse? Honest question, no innuendo intended.

I drink approximately once a month, or less... It's not a scheduled event*. Last few times I didn't even get buzzed - just had a couple of tasty beers with dinner.I have a similar issue. I just sit there thinking 'you do this to yourself by choice. And it costs you so much money.'
Well, yeah. For most people it is fun

* New Year's Eve is the only "scheduled event" for drinking, and I don't get fucked up any more; I just get a heavy buzz on. I'll be fifty next month and realized several years ago that I can't drink like a young man any more.

I'm actually wondering about the fact that no one seems to be drinking. I understand not wanting to make Faye uncomfortable, but aren't they worried they'll get kicked out?

I'm not saying I have been guilty of the same faux pas as Dora and Tai, but I'm not not saying it.
Yup. Beverages may even have been ordered but have not yet arrived. An experienced barkeep might recognize what's going on and tactfully delay delivery until just before they need glasses to raise.I'm actually wondering about the fact that no one seems to be drinking.

I assumed this was because the past two comics took place over a period of like ten seconds since they all arrived to meet the happy couple.
In my experience young people don't know how to drink. They mistake the end result as the goal instead of enjoying the journey.You know, I've never really thought about it before, but I think you've got it exactly right!
Get a room, you two!

Ditto on the I-don't-like-being-drunk train.
For me, most beers taste vile (anything not derived solely from fruit), and being drunk is more frustrating than fun. My inhibitors go up, yet I still get the impaired balance and motor skills. On the taste front, most mixed drinks and hard liquors are okay, but I'm "pretty picky" since I don't do anything bitter.
