Hmm, Ruby trades in the skirts for...the rocking pantsuit!

Hmm, I wonder if Dillon's going to start letting a little of his inner Matt b-word out.

[BlairFan]

Dillon is showing his nicer side to Ruby. He's still eccentric though.

[Collarnorcrown]

*sniffle* we'll miss you Ruby's short, panty flashing skirt

[zaprzapb]

I'll miss that short skirt too.

But we'll get a funny story arc of Dillon taking Ruby clothes shopping like I predicted.

[Artemisia]

Ruby and Dillon will end up bonding...and maybe even get Ruby to start dating. . .maybe she'll end up dating Jerzy's sister.

[Bambikles]

Dating the resident "ghost" could be funny. "So you're dating Jerzy's sister ? The one we never manage to see ? Who do you think you will deceive with that lame excuse ?" Sort of like the "Girlfriend in Canada" trope.

Maybe, maybe not. The new influences in Ruby's life are Dillion and Amber. They may be more fashion and context aware than her but neither is terribly demure. If nothing else I could see Amber framing the skirt as a weapon to be deployed in specific circumstances.

This is a trope? I must learn more of this. I actually do have a Canadian ex.

['J']

oh please, everyone knows canada doesn't actually exist.

I think that Amber is smart enough to know that weapons should only be handled by the trained. Ruby just isn't qualified to use that skirt.

You know, I'm suddenly half-wishing that Professor Conried will turn up in person fifty or sixty strips down the line, dropping in on a favourite ex-pupil. I'm suddenly imagining her as a ditzy, amazingly ham-fisted, and weirdly boho middle-aged academic with a genius for workplace sociology and a barking mad dress sense based on her favourite '80s girl bands.

[Artemisia]

I see her as sort of like Emma Thompson with glasses, a tweed jacket with patches on the elbows, a braid...oh wait...that's my fantasy woman....

[Kiggy]

Like I said, this actually leaves him looking in danger of being typecast in somewhat freakshow-esque roles, but that's the risk he runs.

Now I have Rocky Horror Show and it's Time Warp stuck in my head

I hope we get to see a glimpse of Ruby's sexy tush wrapped in those tiiiiiight jeans



Anyway, I still stand by my prediction that Ruby will fall in hopeless love with Dillon.

Interesting insight. It's refreshing I'd say.

A very long time ago, my mother told someone that her daughter (me) would rather have lunch with Helen Mirren than sex with Heather Locklear. I have a thing for intelligent women
