It connects nicely with Zach's Ghostbusters outfit. xD

I'll regret saying this since I don't wanna point out another error after you fixed one, but shouldn' it be "a PKE meter" instead of "an PKE meter"?

Huh, in addition to being a psychic in training Sabrina's apparently a computer geek. Maybe she can give my PC an exorcism.

Why exactly would your PC need an exorcism?

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 6:17 pm

Because it's possessed, duh.

I wish I were a psychic-in-training.

That would also be extremely creepy Diss.

In a semi-related note, our employment can be terminated if we threaten a customer. The example given was "I have your physical address," which I guess is more of a tone of voice thing because we ask that information on every call.

You mean a topic-unrelated note, right?

This arc seems to carry on with Mr Griffin’s usual manner of doing thing within the comic. The plots centre is completely obvious yet difficult to predict accurately though always holding a strange unexpected manner that captivates us or at least me personally.

On a more arc related note, I find t satisfying to see Sabrina using her psychic abilities rather than Tarot who is confirmed as under the influence of the Spirit Dragon.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 9:12 pm

We don't know for sure that Sabrina isn't someone's avatar or that Tarot doesn't have psychic powers without Spirit Dragon, do we?

Hypergenesis · Post by **Hypergenesis** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 9:20 pm

Seeing as you can train to be psychic, not taking into account susceptibility to possession, it might suggest there is such thing as real psychics in the HP world. Also, in the main comments page, the possibility that green-eyed Tarot is the Spirit Dragon and the green-iris Tarot is Tarot herself.

I'm open for criticism and mistakes being pointed out though.

The first one we don't know for sure but Kitsune is the only player (technically the GM) left and we don't know that he has an avatar (or if there are other beings like them visiting the universe but that could be very possible) and if he does I still say its Sasha because of what Pete said about her being protected however I guess it could be either Pete or some other supernatural force protecting her.

As for Tarot since she implies that the powers can be learned I think it is likely that she has powers without Dragon just that they are amplified by Dragon but again there is no concrete proof.

Maybe there are more and those three are the only ones who were able to make it. We also don't know if Great Kitsune has an avatar at all.

I'll say it's very possible since The very first line Great Kitsune ever said was. "Alright, squares, what did you have to go and get me up here for?". Squares, a somewhat put-down term, would suggest that Pete and Spirit Dragon are probably "newer players" (or very old players).

Also, it did become the 467 billionth edition because "Baby" (Spirit Dragon?) wanted her "way". Again this would imply that there could be more players since 1-on-1 D&D. . Er, I don't want to talk about that.

So U&U might not be a complete reproduction of D&D since it actually has autonomy (Players can continue playing without actually meeting) and if it has autonomy, just how much more players could be out there.

. . . Only rickgriffin can be certain.

Sabrina is actually the avatar of the Spirit Dragon's evil twin sister.

Who is in love with Max.

OMG GAIZ PLOT TWISTS!
Just kidding. On a related (to the topic) note, I'm surprised that Max didn't just ask Sabrina who would win the competition...

Rick is the Great Kitsune's avatar and he's trying to give us all a hint

I still think it's Ethereal Manticore. She has to be controlling someone.

Or, you know, exist.

Meaning that Dissension is the Great Kitsune's evil twin brother's avatar. And he's trying to keep the hint from happening.

This is becoming less and less fun for Sabrina to be in and more and more enjoyable for me to watch. :3

Note that those two aren't necessarily correlated.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:04 am

Background spookiness? What exactly are the units on spookiness? Also, I'd think being a full order of magnitude less spooky than average would actually be worth investigating.

You'd think Max would be happy; he could use the knowledge that the house isn't haunted to his advantage, considering Marvin doesn't know.

-Sniped from me in the comments-
Sabrina sure is becoming more expressive with her facial expressions.

Sinder · Post by **Sinder** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:05 am

that house currently has a rating of zero Buseys

for reference, normal ambient spookiness is about ten Buseys

I wish I knew what you are referencing with about these "Buseys"

Predicted Sinder reply below:
*facepalm*

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:09 am

Presumably Gary Busey.

And an order of magnitude less than the background creepiness of ten Buseys would be one Busey, Sinder.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:09 am

I love Sabrina and Grapes face in the last Panel and It looks like Max wouldn't have been happy no matter what answer the was.

That Max didn't want ghosts in the first place, but now he wants them.

But Sabrina looks pretty angry in the last panel.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:13 am

She could be speaking relatively. Very rarely do ambient readings of anything come up zero. There's usually a certain threshold under which things can be treated as zero even if they technically aren't.

For example, your Cheerios are probably very slightly radioactive.
