[2016/11/21 What Am I Psychic ]
Title Text: IS MAGIC(K) REAL? DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANGERING MALICIOUS FA(E)RIES?! THAT'S WHAT I COME TO YOU FOR

Sucks when an overly complicated subject like mind control is a lot more complicated than you think, right?

[CHAOKOCartoons]

Fox, what on Earth do you think locking a door is gonna do to protect you?

[Gbr23]

You know what I just realized ? Fox and Sabrina are in the same house together... Ha

We'll see if that will affect somehow

[Iceheart]

I'm kind of expecting some Jurassic Park thing where you see a glass of water shaking as Mungo grows closer.

Then again, I suppose that joke has beed done enough times.

[Mistacheeeez]

I feel bad for Fox! Not only might he fail his biggest case yet, but he could end up in jail! Or worse: end up flattened by Mungo!

[Saturn381]

I wonder what Peanut thinks of all this?

[Dragonglare]

We're finally going to get to the bottom of what's going on with Sasha! As soon as Fox can figure out how to explain this to Tarot. =P

The K and the E in parenthesis. Are those just humorous alternate spellings of the words? Or could they be... the initials of who is controlling Sasha's mind?! ...Quick, what's Karishad's last name?!

I was wondering that, too. Must be awkward to be in the same room with the girlfriend of someone you're disillusioned with.

The K and E are actual alternate spellings of the words. They're used to differentiate specifics. "Magick" is mainly archaic, and is commonly used to show a difference between "rituals" and "stage magic."
"Faerie" is another way to spell "fairy" for the most part.

[IceKitsune]

Oh this is going to be interesting. Hopefully Tarot can figure this out before Mungo arrives or else everything is just going to get a heck of a lot worse.

I know, I was just being silly. Thanks though. =P

I’m not crazy, Tarot,
I thought you should know.
My girlfr.. my friend may have almost killed someone but she knows more than she ever has, her personality’s off and she doesn’t know my name and...
Why are you looking at me that way?
I’m putting my job on the line,
if Mungo gets us, we’ll do time
Coz he’s a he-dog who busts through walls, lifts cars, carries out forensic analysis’s, acts as a certified therapist, spent most of the day trapped in a tree and...
Why are you backing away?
Tarot, I need your help,
and it’s best away from prying eyes
which is why I’m locking the door to keep Mungo out because he’s coming this way fast and, even though he’s mad we’re escaping he might not plow through the wall and...
Peanut, Sabrina. How’s it going, guys?

[anhedral]

That door is not long for this world. Seriously Fox, you could have saved some imminent property damage by just Leaving. It. Open.

Love how Fox gets into Tarot's personal space in that third frame. Really shows how panicked the poor guy is. *Nose boop.*

[Obbl]

Fox does seem a might on edge today. Can't imagine why

Mungo can't get in without a warrant. IF he does just run down the door like some WW2-esc T-34 tank, he'd in turn have to pay for the damages and also well, possibility of losing his job, and also a short sentence.. I think the only time you can go in without a warrant is when the suspect who fled into a house is either the suspect's own house, or if he is armed when he ran into another person's house.

[GameCobra]

Next comic gilligan cuts to them all in jail, with fox saying "...Guess not." :3

I'm ready to see the grand reveal at the end of this arc... but I'm wondering if Tarot will discover something else entirely different about Sasha? I still don't buy the mind control thing, but I wonder if Tarot learns something much different about Sasha than Fox (and us) realized.

[Frank]

"Well, I can scry her, but it'll take 15 to 20 minu--"
"WE DON'T HAVE THAT LONG!!!"

[guru4567]

"Well, I can scry her, but it'll take 15 to 20 minu--"
"WE DON'T HAVE THAT LONG!!!"

LOL -- "and I only have one spell slot left so THAT'S IT"

I believe Fido is in this house/plot (hanging out, probably watching Cops or something) and he's going to conflict with/talk down Mungo/save FOX/SOMETHING GUNNA HAPPEN. Why else have the third strip in this arc address the Fox/Fido conflict and Fox's struggle with his relationship with Sabrina? I hope they reconcile somehow.

You guys, wouldn't it be crazy if Sasha is actually Kitsune's avatar? Or a dragon?

I mean I watch Critical Role. So now, I think it's possible for any character in any fictional work to be a dragon at all times.

[Naro Rivers]

You guys, wouldn't it be crazy if Sasha is actually Kitsune's avatar?

I thought it was established that, in Universes & Unrealities, the Game Master has no followers or avatar. The GM is a referee, not a player.

That cosmic game is finished, but the game world persists. What if Sasha's an NPC he's controlling? If you're playing D&D or U&U, the GM can be anyone (you just have to ask before overriding their brain). I keep going back to the fact that she's "Protected". Who is protecting her, and will that come to play here?

Now that the game is over, though, Kitsune's role as a participant has ended as well. What possible reason could he have to continue to manipulate the world? His original motivation was to teach Pete and Dragon a lesson and, while he certainly seems interested in this world, he doesn't seem the type to micromanage.

[HellishK9]

Don't worry Fox. Tarot the psychic and Sabrina the psychologist has got the situation under control. maybe
We also have Peanut the therapy dog to keep things calm.

[Cesco]

Well, Fox, close the door probably won't block Mungo, but at least you can hide yourself from him. Come on Tarot, just take a look at Sasha and use what's remained of your psychic powers (you still have some, right? ) to see what's wrong with her... Ah, and Sabrina can help you. Yeah, you don't know, but calm down Fox, there can always be a chance that your hypotheses are wrong...

Um, OK, but...probable cause?? (All right, I admit it, my understanding of legal precedent is based entirely on overexposure to Zootopia. Heaven help me.)

[kinamiya]

i would probably say that mungo doesn't want to damage private property...but i saw breaking fences....so....idk.....maybe he don't want to break tarot door?

I actually gotta agree with anhedral on this one. If Mungo breaks into a house to get fox without proof he is actually inside than hes in the same boat as fox. Though i am just going to call this one, if i am wrong i am wrong but i am sure of it at this point..

"There is NOTHING wrong with Sasha as far as supernatural stuff"

Why she is doing it i have no idea but i have a feeling that that's the plot twist that's dragged this out so long. Build up suspense until everyone is sure of something and then do the opposite since you never made it an impossible option.

[Wolfbane]

I'm surprised the alt text isn't something like "Have you tried turning her off and back on again?"

Ha ha, *this*^^

[Argent]

I wonder what Peanut thinks of all this?

He's probably thinking about his strategy for Pokemon Moon.

Also, +1 to Wolfbane for "have you tried turning her off and back on again"

Yeah i gotta admit you won the witty comment award on that one

[Argent]

Do they have Pokemon in the Housepets Universe?

[SuperStar]

Do they have Pokemon in the Housepets Universe?

Yes. We know they have Nintendo, and even Solatorobo, Pokemon isn't a stretch.

[Frost SF]

You see, its all about the eyes. Right?
...
Right?

I always thought Pete just meant she was protected from her drunken "dad".

[Naro Rivers]

Hasn't Peanut been seen playing Pokémon?

[guru4567]

i think it was, but that leaves who the protector is open.

[Chinchilociraptor]

Now now... Just because ONE game has ended doesn't mean kitsune isn't DM'ing or participating in others.

[Obbl]

But why would he be playing another game in this universe? There are an infinite number of low-order universes to play in, after all.

I keep going back to the fact that she's "Protected". Who is protecting her, and will that come to play here?

I always thought Pete just meant she was protected from her drunken "dad".

I always assumed he meant that she was protected in that she would not be aware of their conversation (and so become involved in some way).
