Stand-Down Order

Wayment... "high as balls"? How high do balls get, anyhoo? I'm thinking three and a half feet MAX.

Why? AA is great at self-promotion and crud at actual results. It works best for narcissistic middle-aged men insofar as it works better than just saying "I want to stop drinking." I hope Faye finds whatever help she needs without buying the bill of goods that says AA is the only way.

Todd Ellner

If she asked SpookyBot, excuse me, Yay, I bet she could get the answer to any question about Bubbles' history. She may be sorry she asked. Faye may not know that Roko is pals with SB, though. Of course, she could just pick up any phone and ask her question....

Matt Grayson

Don’t even think it 😩

JD

Not cool, Faye!!

JD

That she's doubting her capacity to be attracted to Bubbles, and possibly Bubbles's capacity to be attracted to her. That questioning its never comfy and never reaches a satisfying answer

Carin Maja Brooks

... What are you thinking?

Yonatan Zunger

I think I just realized something this might be about, and I really hope it isn't, especially because perhaps the best character to talk to about this is high off her ass, chill, and celebrating right now

Carin Maja Brooks

Okay, this is hitting a lot of anxiety points for me, coming from both Faye and Bubbles. HRNGH.

Dev

Pretty sure she's not JUST discovering that lol

Adam Abbott

Ahh. The dreaded cliffhanger slowly, slowly rises from the depths...

Joseph Bonnar

Ah good old insecurity, how we've not missed you.

MikeT

I would be damned surprised if she hadn't been an E-6 at the very least. She has that air about her.

Yonatan Zunger

Duly Noted

Bagge

Can we have corgis in chainmail even if she doesn't fall off the wagon? I need them in my life.

Samantha Yeaman

"Just tired" my ass. But I wonder about Faye's feelings from a different angle. She struggles a lot with insecurity and a low sense of self-worth. She may be suddenly wondering if she has stolen Bubbles away from a forgotten previous relationship, and if that someone would have been better for her, yadda yadda.

Clifton Royston

Hmmmmmm... Something seems off...

Bailey Tighe

Life hits you from unexpected angles, as Faye just discovered.

SpookyPenguin

How so? It's not like this is familiar ground for her or Bubbles.

Shawn K. Younkin

Faye looks kinda shell-shocked. I think (hope) that she's going home to try to get her head together. It's a bit worrying that she doesn't want Bubbles to go home with her though.

DON'T YOU MESS WITH MY FAYBLES. I mean...I like drama and story as much as anyone, but NO. NO NO NO.

Dammit Faye...

Ian Mortimer

I dunno, I don't think Faye's about to do anything self-destructive. The face she has on makes me think she has a plan of some sort. Maybe to attempt to find some of Bubbles' history? I might be an optimist here.

Douglas E. Smith

Faye still has demons she really hasn't dealt with when it comes to insecurity. This is the first time it's really popped up with bubs.

Dylan T

Oh no please don't do anything stupid Faye :(

Nicholas Lopez

Faye is way off base here :/

Adam Daw

EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!

Dean Reilly

HOPEFULLY she is going to find an AA meeting... ::fingers crossed::

Shawn K. Younkin

Because it highlights that there's a lot that she doesn't know about her past. She might still be in love with someone and just can't remember them.

JD

That's not fair! This is NOT Clinton's fault. There's no way he could have known his innocent question was going to cause this issue to surface.

Andrew Mitchell

Yeah. That worries me. It really looks like Faye is freaking out because Bubbles *may* have had a prior relationship. That's not a healthy sign. :(

I hope not. It could also be that she is leaving before it gets to bad for her. Hopefully she doesn't fall for the trap of using weed as a substitute. Using to use can cause a full lapse.

Sandrock

It seems like the idea that Bubbles could have had previous relationships that they don't know about really got to her.

JD

Oh shit.

R L

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Clinton. You poor dear fuse-lighting nong.

Leaflemming

Is... is she gonna relapse? I might need to skip a few days if she's gonna relapse.

drone r0m-3

oh no

Haley M Dangerfield

If Faye falls off the wagon I will fight you. I don't have all the details worked out yet, but it involves Corgis in chainmail

Joseph

Big sad.

Tara Cook

I'm too dumb to know why Faye is more upset by the situation than Bubbles. I just hope Martin catches up to her before she finds a liquor store.

David Durant

...why do I suddenly feel like Faye's sneaking off to drink or something.

Eric Rucker

Do NOT detour at the liquor store missy!!

Michael Boettger

oh no. im worried. poor faye. life is hard when you are sober and all your friends are not. i cant even eat with my family without getting offered drinks. its rough.

runrin

*Was* Bubs a sergeant?

Matthew Bernal

Clinton!

Spoogle McGee

Oh dear

Drew Basford

Yesterday's exchange seemed to have hit Faye particularly hard. I'm seriously concerned.

Michael Boettger

*hugs faye*
