    I expect that that trepidatious ‘joy?’ will be a common feature of their relationship should it continue.

    in the appliance world, water cooler to coffee maker is a big social step up.

    Well it is time for the office Christmas party so getting a bit wired is a “normal” thing

    Once the pot is set down it doesn’t spill, Bubbles has skill.

        To me it suggests Gamzee Makara, and coincidence or not, Jeff definitely reads Homestuck.

      To me, it sounds a bit worse. I can just hope she’s buzzed, and not turning into (shudder) GLaDOS.

      If she starts being passive-aggressively evil to U.N.I.T.Y., we’ll know we have a problem here.

    Unity is drinking fluids from Bubble’s body already?
    Specifically, fluids dripping from the nether regions of her body… Fluids that have passed through Bubble’s system.
    This is so weird, and yet strangely heart-warming.

      BRGR…

      She’s, like, the office water cooler, man. Everyone’s tasted her nether regions once or twice.

      I’m hoping for a re-meetup between Bubbles and the Cadillac spider-robot after this. Maybe a love triangle forming?

    I am so happy that “biscotti” is a noun and a verb now.

    In yr language, verbing your nouns.

    I wonder if Unity will think Sweetheart-the-droid is as hot as Bubbles-the-droid. I wonder what Sweetheart will think if Unity doesn’t…

    Robert Nowall: nah, UNITY is interested in Britta’s mind, not the shiney plastic chasis it sometimes comes in, that’s why she is still having the coffee date with Britta and not the body

    rasufelle: a triangle between the Caddy, Britta and Unity, plus another triangle between Britta, Unity and Sweetie o_O

    Britta? I know not this Britta you speak of.
    I can’t get at Sunday’s water-cooler script but I remember her pre-Bubbles name wasn’t Britta. Something starting with U?

    I also wonder when Sweetheart is going to get over her denial and what she’ll be like afterwards.

    Well, and, having just finished a Narbonic archive binge, I’m curious how Lovelace and the rest of Madblood’s killer androids are doing. I mean, they’re all still presumably part of the Machine Union, but they haven’t come up any of the times the Union has been on screen. So I worry a little bit.

      *Spoilers*

      Lovelace is probably fine, but last I remember the Madblood Bots got themselves lobotomized and turned into walking suits for the evil hamsters.

        Not all the robots. Just some of them.

    I hope Bubbles gets the body back after this arc. She’s able to be so much more expressive with body language, and I’m sure she appreciates being ambulatory.

    Unity is one heck of a Ladyfinger.

    The words “office party” and the situation with Bubbles leads me to wonder what the coffee is going to be spiked with.

      “Spiking the cooler.” Sounds like another one of those modern-day sexual euphemisms…

    One explanation for the strange way the words are written may be the fact that a pot of hot coffee was poured down her throat with no warning.

    @Gemma: Everyone jumps to That Comic when seeing that manner of speaking. However, the reference intended goes further back than that, to a certain terrible movie lampooned by MST3K: Manos: the Hands of Fate.

    They couldn’t at least have had Tigerlilly make an android body to loan to Bubbles?
