Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Why did he even go to Tarot anyway? what exactly does he expect her to do that nobody else could. Use her psychic powers to scare her away? This kind of screams of lets shoehorn Tarot into this because both her and King have a connection with the game.

Tarot is magic. If you knew someone who's magic, wouldn't you go to her for help?

But for this? why would Tarot even care they met once for like a minute.Sleet wrote:Tarot is magic. If you knew someone who's magic, wouldn't you go to her for help?
Edit: I could understand if he was going to get Sabrina but accidentally woke Tarot up instead but that's not what shown here

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
King presumably considered that Tarot is one of two people in the neighborhood who know him particularly well. One has a tendency to go with one's friends and acquaintances when one is in a bind.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Then why not just go for Sabrina then? Since Tarot knew he was coming that means that logically he was coming to see her not Sabrina who would make much more sense in this case out of the two of them.Dissension wrote:King presumably considered that Tarot is one of two people in the neighborhood who know him particularly well.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Ok fine, but IMO that is a rather silly reason (not from a canon stand point but from a writing one) but whatever maybe Tarot can finally get some development or something.Sleet wrote:Maybe Sabrina's room doesn't have a window.

Sabrina's more like Tarot's on hand secretary, in my opinion at least. Why go to the secretary when you can go straight to the boss?IceKitsune wrote:Then why not just go for Sabrina then?

Tarot and the Spirit Dragon aren't any different in perspective, like linked minds, possibly even linked bodies.
And from their conversation it's basically a "Just do anything to stop her." request being put up.
and with his experience with Pete, whose power can be used at will, wouldn't it be more logical to approach Tarot?
I mean what would Sabrina do?

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Tarot and Dragon are two different people, saying that since he knows Dragon a lot means that he knows Tarot just as much is dumb its like saying since you know one twin its the same as knowing the other. Also that's my point why go to Tarot with that request when Sabrina could do the same thing.Hypergenesis wrote:Why do you say King knows Sabrina better?IceKitsune wrote:When you know the secretary better and the choice doesn't really matter.

Except that King admits that he believes it has nothing to do with the game so it really can't be Pete so he wouldn't be worried about powers being used.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
he means that Tarot knows everything about Pete that Dragon knows (plausibly) and that King knows Tarot has access to Dragon's powers, or at least he thinks she does because Pete was able to use his powers indiscriminately. Sabrina doesn't have those powers.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
what? But King doesn't think Pete has anything to do with this since he said that it doesn't have anything to do with the game so that shouldn't even factor in here. He just wants Duchess to go away, Sabrina could do just that as well as Tarot could, so again why go to Tarot and not Sabrina when he knows Sabrina better.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:he means that Tarot knows everything about Pete that Dragon knows (plausibly) and that King knows Tarot has access to Dragon's powers.

Presumably, one who doesn't fully understand how magic works would assume that someone with magic would be an infinitely more powerful ally than one who doesn't.IceKitsune wrote:what?

In which comic is it established that King knows Sabrina better than he knows Tarot? Additionally, please do not say someone's idea is "dumb," that's rather rude.IceKitsune wrote:...

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Yes she could I'm not in anyway arguing she couldn't, but again he considered Fox first and even thought of going to Sasha in this strip. He knows Sabrina better then he knows Tarot (who he met for like all of a minute once) If he was considering help from Sasha and Fox why would Sabrina not cross his mind to go to before Tarot?RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:and don't you think a psychic with a connection to a celestial being could make that happen in some way?IceKitsune wrote:He just wants Duchess to go away
The fact that hes clearly had more screen time with her then with Tarot and there is nothing in this strip that says they hung out at all in between.

And I'm fairly certain the comment about Sasha was a sarcastic remark in response to Tarot being purposefully unhelpful.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Ok yeah I know that they are best freinds but the point I'm making is that he chose someone with out magic before going to Tarot who he barely knows (and before anyone brings it up yes I'm making an assumption that they don't really know each other, but its one based on actual evidence from the comic which all points to them barely knowing each other.), if he really thought he need high powered Magic that Tarot would have, why even go to Fox. So again the only reason that he didn't think of getting Sabrina who he knows better then Tarot is so Tarot could have a reason to be in the arc as I said before.KJOokami wrote:He chose Fox first because Fox is his best friend.IceKitsune wrote:Yes she could I'm not in anyway arguing she couldn't, but again he considered Fox first and even thought of going to Sasha in this panel.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
This. If King meet Sasha's dad appear, it'll be an interesting plot twist (somthing I've been wanting since when King and Sasha met). I know people are saying that King know Sabrina better because of the arc "Not all dogs. I don't think they are that much of friends, but Sabrina DID help King there and not Tarot. I know why King tried to get Tarot's help, but he should've tried Sabrina instead (since she was the one who helped him, sure it was most likely under orders, but I think she was really worried back then. However back in "Not all dogs" King's soul was at stake, here he's just under the danger of a crazy dog).RockstarRaccoon wrote:Hmm...

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Sabrina would probably get stampeded by Duchess anyway i would say. Unless Sabrina has been taken lessons from Grape... or maybe she had her own way of fighting?
In any case, i just find it funny that he also went to Tarot. considering how she scared him last time with the whole "I know you're human" thing, i would guess he would be scared straight for Duchess to hear the whole human backstory stuff. But then again, he might've also thought having Tarot telling Duchess he was human would probably turn her off, not because she'd believe the whole thing but just because of who he hung around with X3

Now this is more LIKE it! (Or perhaps it's not. I have no idea, and I don't like being teased.)
I WANT to say that I sense something BIG is approaching, and that it's one of two things I've wanted to see happen most.............. but I've been wrong before. And I can only get my hopes up so many times before my reaction becomes "who cares?".
I'm going to have my hopes up anyway. Dang it.

you don't need to worry, King's not in any danger, he's only being chased by a psychotic... uh whats the word i'm looking for, let's say ex-girlfriend for the pageants sake.

Seriously, not THAT! The two things I'm referring to are Fox finding out the truth (unlikely), or a resolution with the watch. I've been wrong enough times on hoping for both that I SHOULD be taking a weary "who cares?" attitude, and part of me wants to.

but mostly because of Tarot. And the avatar joke.

Re: Arc 51: Show Business
Some I noticed would be the possibility of Duchess having something to do with the game. Such as some unseen character that joins the game at some point in the arc, that might be why Tarot cannot help, if you think about it...
