There's only a few pages up so far, but it seems promising.

What probably won't happen: either one realizing they met previously in the market back in chapter 2.




I think with these last few updates Stand Still Stay Silent has now indisputably taken the worst disqus comment section crown. It was rough going there for a while after Paranatural caved to the people manually typing out URLs to pre-stamp FIRST on comment blocks months in advance and removed them, but the combined powers of ambiguous gay romance and spergin' about spergin' has really pushed SSSS over the top.

To be fair, She didn't get to go into enough detail about the dream for the headmistress to know that it was a sexy dream. Also, it never ends up happening.

Today's Questionable Content is really bugging me. This fire destroyed a person's residence making it a household fire. Which means the local Red Cross chapter gets contacted by the fire department and a Disaster Action Team gets deployed.

Here's a simplified summary of what should happen. A Disaster Action Team would arrive within about 30 to 45 minutes of being notified of the fire. They would talk with the fire victims and the fire department to determine how many victims needed what kinds of immediate assistance. The DAT lead would distribute a Client Assistance Card or Cards to the victims. Each card would contain several hundred dollars which the client or clients could use on food, lodging, and other needs.

In this case Bar Owner would get a CAC card because she lost her house. Robot Hand wouldn't get a CAC card because he just missed the bus. They'd also probably get some sweet and salty snacks, light beverages, and a stuffed animal if it's appropriate.

Client Casework would also be notified. Client Casework would connect the victim to services from other agencies they'd qualify for. They often work as an advocate to for the client if their insurance was giving them a hard time. They can also authorize disbursement of additional funds in certain circumstances.

We don't see a Red Cross presence here. The real life reasons could be that the fire department didn't notify the chapter or that the Red Cross simply hasn't gotten there yet. But what's probably happened is Jeph used this as a way to get the Bar Owner and Robot Hand to spend time together so they could become a couple down the line.

You might rightly point out that Northhampton, MA is about an hours drive away from the headquarters of the West Massachusetts Chapter of the Red Cross. But DAT teams aren't stationed at the headquarters. DAT and Client Casework are exclusively made up of volunteers who live and work throughout a chapter's geographical boundaries. You could also point out that calling it a CAC card is redundant. This is true, but getting a (KAK) Card sounds much more appealing than getting a (KAK).

There's not a lot of fictional works that do take painstaking detail in depicting the particulars of how the emergency services operate. Besides, the building is still on fire, the red cross doesn't look like it's come yet. It hasn't been 30 to 35 minutes.

Not that this whole thing isn't a horribly contrived scenario to make grumpy bartender go home with robot hand (honestly, it would make more sense for her to go home with that regular who she knows and trusts than this jerk she barely knows), but it's within standard variation of fictional inaccuracies. At least it's more interesting than QC normally is.
