Shouldn't that be "Jake"?
"...no reasonable people here..." So, the alt-Northampton fairy lady, VespAvenger, and (I suppose) Pizza Girl didn't make the place unreasonable enough, Jeph?
She's adorable.
Kilroy, it would be quicker if you'd just say, "I'll lead you to coffee if you're buying." She clearly need a fix.
Oh gods, now I hope her name really IS Kilroy. Too perfect.
We can all note that Marten didn't walk away. Seems like he has adopted another one
Please tell me her name is Kilroy…
Marten is very well-supplied with friends who insist they "have a perfectly normal amount of social skills". Marigold, Hanners, Clinton, Emily... And now he has one more.
I also have a perfectly normal amount of social skills
Being a "Reasonable Person" is something you need coffee to achieve...
In my head she sounds like Power from Chainsaw Man.
I'm Drazi@social.drazisil.com for anyone who wants to add me on Mastodon. 🏳️⚧️👋
Green!
It will be what dreams are made of. Probably is also true that Cubetown needs all of their friends along with our couple.
Yes, it will. For the ritual.
My social skills come up to here *indicates with hand*
Totes jelly. I have to bend my knees to get my hand to indicate the proper level.
I’m still waiting for more animals shaped robots, the jelly CAN’T be the only one! 😹
We did see a horse (I think) in the Cubetown background at least once. Plus there’s the spider (Gary?) from the ai support group in previous arcs.
I still think Claire & Marten need to flee Cubetown with maximum haste, but maybe they could adopt Dr. Goblin, Ph.D., there are bring her back with them.
In fact, just flee immediately, do not pass Goblin, do not collect 200 damage...
The ship where Martin reasonably declines this sailed back in…mmm…maybe around when he worked out his agreement with Pintsize.
Spoiler: it's gonna be some secret AI-Science-Grade coffee and blow his mind. Claire will discover him shambling the streets rambling incoherently about tasting notes that sound like maths equations and poetry.
It is coffee Agatha Heterodyne made in Mechanicsberg.
Main difference between Cubetown and my real-life environment right now is, fewer people in Cubetown are masking.
FEWER are masking in Cubetown?? Seems about the same ratio to IRL to me.
Honestly I want to go to Cubetown so bad. SO BAD.
Forget it Jake, it's Cubetown.
@Frat Captor, I would start to get concerned about you, except I agree. 🏳️⚧️♥️
Please tell me you are on Mastodon. We need to be friends.
No goblin eyes? She's learned to blend in!
In panel 5 I'm getting a Lucy Van Pelt vibe from this character.
Yeah, I can see it.
If everyone in Cubetown is unreasonable, they must make a lot of progress there.
That's the theory, anyway.
I, too, have a perfectly normal amount of social skills. . o O (All of my life experiences, which consistently demonstrate otherwise, have to be flukes.)
"Normal" as in perpendicular to everything else?
The future will be a coffee economy.
Hey, the essentials of life should not be enslaved by capitalism! (Don't tell Dora I said that.)
Ugh I wanna marry the goblin 🥺
I wanna smooch their gobliny little face
Cubetown really feels like PEAK QC
Cubetown is concentrated QC, all the things we love about QC in greater than reasonable densities. instant QC, just add water.
This feels like any research heavy college campus I've been on.
They are my new favorite
I like her.
As a coffee-loving introvert, “enough pointless chitchat, come with me if you want coffee” sounds like high-key flirting 🥰
honestly, ideal first date and perfect setup
Are they related to Kilroy?
The WWII meme, because they are always peering over walls in the same fashion.
Do goblins need coffee?
Can confirm.
A perfectly normal *amount* of social skills, but are they distributed in a normal fashion, or min-maxed with a dump stat?
is min-maxing a social skill something a reasonable person would do?
“Forget it, Marten. It's Cubetown.”
…hard to forget Cubetown, though…
So they're like the Terminator, only with coffee instead of life.
Some would argue that those are equivalent.
These are pintsize's people.
I’m imagining that she sounds like peridot from Steven universe.
That is her canon voice from now on
Note to self: Move to Cubetown.
God I WISH
