[ The Thing About The Thing ]

Title Text: Oh King, you don't have to be psychic to know that

May I take a moment to acknowledge how awesome the thing looks?

Also, I kinda want a slouch hat.

Hey, if crying and begging got Dissension to start posting links to the forum again, I'm sure it could work for King as well.

Thats right King. Let it all out! Your teed off and your not taking it no more!

FoxRocks · Post by **FoxRocks** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 12:12 am

hmmm...The Thing looks like a lanterd with a green glowstick in it. I had something like that!

Acritic2 · Post by **Acritic2** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 12:14 am

So that lantern is like a GPS scrambler from "Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour" to demigods?
That sounds like something to remember later, and also something King will use as an advantage later on.

I MIGHT have a theory as to what that thing Tarot holding is: That thing could be a jail of shorts and, if that is the case, Kings plan be to break the contract that Bailey has with Pete somehow THEN trap Pete in that device. Or am I just doing some wishful thinking?

Anyway, doggone we have to wait till Monday for the next update! I wanna see King and Bailey back together soon!

Oh geez, are the next few strips going to be like the Hobbit? 3/4 of it is walking, or in this case driving.

That would work...then he could keep Pete as a pet or something!

Makes you wonder what would be worse. Would it be that or Being trapped in a mortal body for a life time?

It would be worse to be immortal, and trapped in The Thing forever!!!

They often say pride comes before a fall
but only in bad dictionaries.
Here though, it seems, King has hit a wall
with the psychic revolutionaries.
To plead is to beg as Tarot knows well
as she reveals all his new stuff.
His emotions he's now able to sell
but, against gods, will it be enough?
Hid by the power of a Green Lantern,
Ol' Pete's now blind to King's move;
and, if we see fact follow pattern,
Our little Welshie has something to prove...

I wonder how long until Tarot double-crosses King.

Well, either one would be bad. But I think the mini-prison would be better, cause then Pete would have to deal with his fate being in Kings hands.

King crying is not something you see and do nothing about. Also, if Tarot is with them, whats going on in the fight between Sabrina and Bailey?

Sabrina - the old, tactical, scrapper -is probably kicking tail but Bailey - the Tank - is not going to drop easily.

If Sabrina has gotten *hit even once, Bailey will get the upper hand. That is to say, if Bailey has managed to catch the sly furball.

King is so tough though, at least now he is. Nevertheless if i was in his position i would have broke down crying and panicked and blamed myself constantly before even getting to the Heaven part. Id proably be in the fetal position cowering in guilt, doubt and fear, not believing id have what it takes to save my wife.

I, like Fox, will be there to smack some sense into you.

Sad Hat should have a tag.

Well this just made things even more interesting. Can't wait to see how that thing comes into play, also it looks pretty neat.

Apparently the other cool thing about being a psychic is you don't need to wear your seatbelt because you know you're not going to be in a crash.

It's got a brave little smile in the middle of its huge mustache.

Put that thing back where it came from

or so help me!

*hint hing* Psst, Foooxy: King needs a hug, will you do something?

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 6:52 am

King, I know you're emotional but it's not smart in interrupt someone using the words 'But it wasn't...' They may be about to tell you something important.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 6:57 am

LOL, King's gonna cry.

Not so fast King, crying ain't gonna get you anywhere, just listen to Tarot and all will go fine.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 7:05 am

Still putting your opinions ahead of others as usual, King? Doesn't that usually end up putting a foot in your mouth?

I'm sure i mentioned it before, but King showed signs back when he was talking to Bahamut that he wants to get Dragon and Tarot caught in his crossfires. Being cryptic with him is their own fault, but if he does decide to cause them trouble, I wonder if he will regret it in the end?

Frank · Post by **Frank** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 7:32 am

I'm hearing "Circle of Life" played backwards

Also, that was really nice of tarot, giving them something that will, for once, let them have true privacy

And yay! Diss is back!

Ok. Let me rephrase that.

I, like Fox, will be there to smack some sense into you *and give you a really good hug afterwards (maybe even a cookie).

1.

2. By lesser, I would assume younger.

Sabrina - the old, tactical, scrapper -is probably kicking tail but Bailey - the Tank - is not going to drop easily.

Also Bailey is fighting for King to be able to stay a dog (Even though we know King lied to her), so she is determined to win too. And determination can go farther than expected, just think about the Vietnam War.

"Haven't you figured out what this is?"
"Well Peanut did say it was some magic thing..."
"...That's technically correct."

You go King! Make your own plan! Even though we all know how bad your plans always are and how they always get you injured in one way or another!

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Fri Aug 08, 2014 2:05 pm

Okay, now that's a thing... I'm curious about the dark mark around Tarot's eyes. I know that she had glowing green markings over her face and body when she was fighting Bailey... Though, I'd imagine constantly texting Karishad would be exhausting enough to put bags under anyone's eyes too.
