So, I struggled for a while but then I had this flash of inspiration. We're all outsiders looking in but what if that changed. Imagine you were in the QC world and moving to Northampton. We know that the property prices in that down are something insane so you'd probably have to apartment-share. With which of  the existing known residential groups would you like share space?

I honestly had to think about this and, as boring as it sounds, I'm voting for Steve and Cosette. I choose them because it would be boring. No crazy hijinks, no AnthroPCs with odd senses of humour and, as far as we know, no neighbours who 'drop in' to share around some chaos! Oh, there's the occasional Tortura visit but, so long as you stay out of her way and remember that she's now probably a married author of spy fantasies for ages 6-10 years, you should be okay.

What do you all think?

Cosette is accident prone, but other than that, ja they're a pretty safe choice.
Brun and Renee would be fairly safe as well.

Most of the groups listed have at least one entity that makes me go "no way".

The exceptions are Steve/Cosette and Roko.  To be fair, if Steve and Cosette lived in an apartment instead of a house, they'd be a "no way" as well.

There are two others under my consideration.

Those others are Sven (and Princess - remember Princess?) and Mrs. A (and Cosmo).  My figuring is that either way, I would learn something in an area I know little about.  :evil:

Honestly, though, I'm not that much of an animal person, so...

My final decision is to go with Roko, if only to give her cooking utensils a reason to exist.  I can handle the visitors in small doses.

Hadn't even thought of Mrs.  Augustus.good choice if you rent the basement/attic (if either are furnished). Melon strikes me as a daily visitor.

Have we done a poll asking us to choose from the assorted companion AI yet?

I voted Hanners[1] because she's clean, and seems like she'd be very respectful of my personal boundaries.

[1] Roko would be my second choice.  I could stand having Melon in my life, but Yay would freak me the fuck out.  I really don't need any god-like beings in my life.[2]

[2] Then again, maybe I could stand to have a friend who could magic me citizenship in Ireland or Kiwiland.

Thought about voting Roko, but then reconsidered and I'd room with Millefeuille.

As fun and cool as everyone might be with all of the characters, if I'm going to live with someone then I'd like to not endure their craziness, quirkiness, overbearing personalities, or

So looking over the list and the known characters...I think I'd actually like living with Jeremy and Seven. Why? They are the most normal of the group. That doesn't mean i wouldn't like the fun the others have, I'd just like to sleep peacefully without stepping on a lot of crumbs and stale bread, the overwhelming smell of disinfectant, being interrupted by someone getting up extremely early to roast beans, or the shenanigans of an AI who likely to cause me to need a tetanus shot or take penicillin.



As for the new strip: I hope Millefeuille likes bad jokes and has a funny comeback that pleases Brun because she could use the positivity.

I say 'meel-fee'. But I am handicapped by having taken French, so when I see a French word, I pronounce it in the French manner.

I suspect Jeph has emphasized Millefeuille's bountiful booty so we won't forget about her implants.

Brün is muddying the distinction between serial and parallel, part of what makes the pun painful.

So begins the real reason why Jeph had Renee and Brun move now: To move them closer to the centre of the robotic action!

Yes, Millifeulle is the sort of sweet personality who'd want to welcome new neighbours. It makes me think of how Roko has a fully-equipped kitchen in the hope that she'd have human friends visit her on occasion. I think that basically all of the AIs desperately want to have humans in their lives. There's something fulfilling about being in the outer area of our chaos, apparently!

Okay, I'm too tired to understand the pun in the last panel. Could someone please explain it to me?

It's a fairly weak one, really but props to Brun for doing what she always does when she genuinely wants someone to be her friend: She tells them a dog joke!

I went with Millefeuille. That's my kind of pastry. I was considering Roko or Renee/Brun, but I suspect I wouldn't be able to stand living around Renee for any longer period of time. She's just annoying when you get too much of her.

Sorry to have to tell you this, but meel-foy is closer to actual French pronunciation than meel-fee, which would probably be understood as mille filles.

"Brun, we want our new neighbors to like us."

Brun's thought is likely one of two things:

a. Are you sure?
b. What do you mean, we?

(I frequently go months without speaking to any neighbor.)

In other words, Brun is being Brun.

If I had to choose a roommate it'd probably be Elliot, because he seems like the one I'd be imposing on the least. And I think he'd be chill about my cat, which is simply non-negotiable.

Also, yes, you can always use more USB cables.

It's a weird kind of melancholy, isn't it? Yes, you're relieved to be out of a position for which you were ill-suited and, honestly, made you miserable anyway. However, it still hurts a bit to have to acknowledge to yourself that you were simply not good enough for that particular job. Beepatrice is definitely experiencing those mixed feelings today. In her case, the degree to which it is preying on her mind is demonstrated by the fact that she forgot to introduce herself; she just wandered over to the window and started monologuing!

I'm thinking about Brun's words in the last panel. I'm not sure that her question is negative but, rather, that it may be hopeful. Just how many new people are going to wander in and what strange new things is she going to see? To be a good bartender one must, after all, have a high tolerance for new and strange people and, indeed, to enjoy people-watching.

Meanwhile, Millifeulle's reaction suggests that Beepatrice has made her slightly embarrassed of her species!

Having made just such a transition recently, well writ.  Plus I got to watch my replacement, as I just shifted laterally, do the job better and then get the promotion I was angling for, which brings it's own level of angst on top of the whole situation.   Realistically I would have been even more miserable in that job now that I've had time to reflect, but giving up that misplaced priority brings its own level of angst on top of everything already mentioned.

However, I'm personally at a better place now, which is its own reward in many ways.  Plus I got to avoid a lot of work I didn't want to do that my successor did just fine with.  Which also brings its own level of self-animus...

I would describe the question as concerned.  Maybe another time Brun would be more positive, but she's just had a tough night at work, isn't in perfect health due to that, and doesn't want to be overly diurnal, well, pretty much ever.

I think Brun's reaction is more curiosity than anything else. "Huh - we left the door open and two robots wandered in. Are these results reproducible?"

When you're on the autism spectrum (which I am) and sometimes don't get how other people work (which occasionally happens to me), the scientific method can be your friend. Observe, form a hypothesis, test it, refine as needed.

Yes, I agree. Like many of Brun's questions, she is simply seeking information to better understand the world around her. She's probably filed this scrap of information away as a normal thing, now.

I love Clinton's new hair - kind of a novelty to see a QC character grow their hair longer rather than getting it cut drastically shorter :)

I'd prefer Elliot too - hey, I'd be sharing accommodation with a talented baker!

Oh that is a good point.

I want to change my vote now.

For a moment I was like "Tai's looking weird today". Not sure whether I like the new haircut, but who am I to judge.

Actually, Clinton, you might not know it but you're going to be a sixth wheel; that impromptu welcome party is getting crowded! In any case, given that alcohol will be involved, I'm guessing that Jeph is planning a few unplanned heartfelt utterance and unguarded actions to move along various romantic entanglements!

I'm wondering why Jeph hasn't shown us Robo-Hand yet. Has Clinton been investing in novelty covers and is wearing a particularly weird or funny one today?

Why do I get the feeling this story line is going to turn into a parody of the cabin scene in "A Night at the Opera"?
"... and two hard-boiled eggs."
I need to go rewatch that movie again. It's been at least a few months since last time. (BIG Marx fan here.)

Hmmm.  I took that as a comment on Clinton's hair.  Or are you thinking of poofy boi, meaning gay?
