Questionable Content 10: La Li Lu Le Lo

[Qwertystop]

Did she cover it in grime, though?

[Morquard]

"Hey Dora, look what I found downstairs. I already cleaned it! Can I give it to Brun?"

[The Glyphstone]

That feels very uncharacteristically deceptive and convoluted for Hanners. She'd just buy it and give it outright to Brun if that was the intent.

[Morquard]

I agree. Just saying that the "covering it in grime" part is not necessary for it to work.

[stsasser]

Dora's a little snarky for someone who cut themselves in for 10% commissions on Faye's Texpresso.

[Morquard]

I'm actually more surprised she has to sign a waiver for going down into the basement... is that kind of stuff normal?

[AdmiralCheez]

Trade secrets on the spider coffee?

[Mith]

I do not know if Dora realizes that Brun isn't joking.

[John Cribati]

To my knowledge, Dora isn't aware if Brun's... spectral existence, if you will.

[Keltest]

I must admit, I'm warming up to Brun. I still find her an intrusion into an already overloaded cast of characters I have much longer developed feelings about, but at least shes a somewhat humorous intrusion.

[eee]

I doubt it.

Hopefully Hanners can stop Brun and educate Dora before Brun goes off and actually does it.

The basement is incredibly unsafe due to the accumulation of unsanitary things (mouse poop) and pointy/collapsey things (general garbage). But it's still technically part of the premises of the business, and Brun is technically a customer on the premises of the business. If she suffers any injury from the basement trip, Dora is liable as the business owner. The waiver exempts Dora from any responsibility if a pile of giant T-rex statues falls on Brun, or if a spider eats her.

I like Brun because I find her complimentary to Hanners in some ways. Plus Hanners is probably my favourite of the major cast members, so if more of Brun means that Hanners appears more often as well, everything is good.

No. 7 was the female AI who suspects Faye is an AI in disguise, wasn't she?

[AvatarVecna]

Oh joy. She's back. Again. I wonder if she's still gonna be a nosy, manipulative bitch about things and try and make Brun do things the way she would?

[Morquard]

I would say, after this comic... yes?

"What? Why do you want to keep it and not sell it as I tell you? It's worth money! Eliot, help me convince her she's stupid!"

[Admiral Squish]

To be fair, Brun has no job, no possessions, and no house. 3000 may not be a LOT of money, but it's infinitely better than no money.

[Shadow of the Sun]

I mean, given that Renee's only characterisation prior to the Brun arc was "Like Faye but so much of a bitch that she drove Angus away" at least Jeph's being consistent?

Doesn't make her any better to read though.

[eee]

With friends like Renee, Brun and Elliot might be better off with enemies.

I think Brun still has her leg...

This is true. On the other hand, she's a collector who has seen her cherished clocks mostly go up in flames. Part of her odd behavior might be that she's still in shock and grief. Now she's got a new, special clock, a gift from a friend and her friend. The comfort that brings might be worth more than money.

Not to mention that the reason the clock is worth 3000 bucks is because there's collectors out there willing to pay that kind of money - the exact kind of person that she is.

[Traab]

I honestly see both sides here. The pragmatic part of me says, "Look, you REALLY need the money right now so you can get your feet back under you. 3 grand would be enough to get an apartment and some basic furniture and have a little left over to live on until you can get a job" On the other hand, it was a gift from a friend and something really important to you on a few levels. I personally would likely fall on the pragmatic side because good feelings dont keep you fed and sheltered. And you are right now living on your friends dime at her place while you now have the means to no longer have to.

[Hackman]

Isn't it incredibly tacky to sell a gift you've received from someone?

[Traab]

Would a friend consider it tacky that you were able to use their gift to avoid being homeless? Especially since the gift was literally nothing more than, "Hey, I found this item in a pile of junk I was going to throw out and thought you might like it."

[Dorath]

Let's put this in a way that's more relatable to many of us. If you lost your comic collection in a fire, and a friend gave you a rare comic to get it started again, would you sell it instead?

[Knaight]

I'm not sure this is any more relatable. It also omits key information - said friend would have to have no idea the comic was rare, have it lying around somewhere, give it to me, be informed by me that it was worth a lot, and then choose not to take it back now that they know the value because it would be rude.

[John Cribati]

I mean, I lost my house in this fire along with my collection, right? If I even want to start the collection again, I'd be more concerned with having a place to call my own that I could put said collection.

Honestly, Renée is being pragmatic. To a fault, of course, but it's realistic.

[Windscion]

Renee's bad advice doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the way she punishes Elliot for not backing up her stupid advice. That is the sign of a manipulative harridan, and it is very disrepectful to both Elliot and Brun. It is also par for the course.

2nd best couple of the comic

I like Bubble's blush.

I think Jeff just does blushing robots very well, as Roko's reaction to the tea also makes me laugh.
