or Sabrina and TArot

Sabrina already said she and Tarot couldn't even see it, most likely due to messing with the spirits. :<

This arc has me all excited. I kept mashing f5 when it was time. The latest comic was pretty much what I assumed. Minus King's mind drawings, which were cute.

That tells me that Joel was never very artistic... I bet those drawing were the same ones from his childhood.

Ok... King is not going to tell Fox, that he was Joel.

He can't fight Bino to get it.

So he is going to have to beg an bribe Bino to give it to him.
I can't imagine what Bino is going to want, to give up the watch to King.

Okay, if King will attempt to bribe Bino, then I think there are two things that can happen:
1)Bino will want something King can't get, just because he noticed how much the watch means to King. He'll want to torture him. However, King will somehow manage to get that thing Bino requested, and then Bino will again refuse to give the watch back. Then King will punch him and take the watch by force.
2)Bino will request that King never comes near Sasha again.

1)seems awsome
2)It's the most likely to happen.

Option 1 is NOT likely, since it would involve Fox getting totally mad at King, and it would also lead to suspicion about King and his involvment with Joel. King has already decided not to tell anything to Fox for fear of losing him.

Option 2 is much Bino-ish, but King wouldn't accept. He may not be attracted to Sasha, but he cares for her, and would keep doing so.

I think King will take a bunch of unwise actions (or have all them foiled one way or another) and somehow end up spilling it to Fox in the end.... Wouldn't that be dramatic?

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Tue May 17, 2011 7:39 am

It's more probable that King will end up deciding that he's way better off as a dog. If I got the rules correctly, deciding over his fate once and for all would automatically put his soul out of the limbo and out of Bino's paws as well

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue May 17, 2011 10:07 am

Depending on how the whole Limbo works, i would say whoever holds Joel's fate becomes Joel if King decides to remain a dog.

ho-ho, so Bino could become...
I so LOVE karma!

I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

copper · Post by **copper** » Tue May 17, 2011 10:37 am

Bino is fickle. If King just drops it and wait, Bino will probably just get bored with it and give it to Rex for his watch collection. Then again, I doubt King can think that rationally. He loves to freak out. It would be so much easier to get it from Rex, he is a nice dog.

I'm still holding onto that "His fate is now yours" theory =3

Waiting is a good idea, but I think that watch is something they have to get back as soon as possible? There seem to be an air of urgency.

*is patiently waiting for King to steal the watch*

He has taken one step in that direction.
He has chosen that keeping Fox as his friend, an risking remaining a dog, was more important.
Than telling Fox he is Joel, an getting his fate back, so he could become a human again.

Well depending on how Rick is having the watch work.

#1) If it is like "all dogs go to heaven" The watch will need to be kept wound up an working, or King will die.
An since his soul is currently in Limbo, an can't get into any type of heaven, that would be an very bad outcome indeed. ( doesn't seem likely, as some of Rick's fan base gets really upset when he gets this dramatic with the comic. )

#2) The watch give the holder control of King/joel, eighter directly, or indirectly by controlling what is going to happen to him. ( this seems to be the best bet, as Pete was going to use it to make King agree to be his avatar ).

#3) The watch holds the power for King to go fully dog, or return to being fully human. an if he is not in control of it, someone else is going to get to choose if he is a dog or human.

It's not actually been established to what purpose Pete wanted to use the watch.

But these sound probable though!

Pete said that he would get back into the game, one way or another.
An he needs an avatar to do that.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue May 17, 2011 5:30 pm

I really don't have a clue what Pete wants with Joel's fate >.>

But taking control of him seems the most obvious.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Tue May 17, 2011 5:48 pm

Pete wants the watch so that he can tell time. It's obvious.

Pete wants it to rub it in King's face. "Hey look! I have your destiny in the palm of my hand! How do you feel about that?!"

Tee hee, Im soooo loving this arc, one of my favorites so far. I think King might actually try to tell his secret!

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:21 am

Hmmm I should have seen this one coming actually I'm quite disappointed in my self but you can't guess them all. Very Smart of King to pull the Sasha card on Bino. Knowing what we know from The Present I'm sure she can easily make Bino give her the Watch but she will make him angry by telling him she's going to give it to King this will make everything worse. However she might be smart enough to not let that slip, hopefully she is.

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:22 am

Looking like King will be using Sasha to get the watch from Bino! Oh what antics will she pull to accomplish the task...

Barkeron · Post by **Barkeron** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:29 am

Hmmm, how do you unlock the door from the outside? lol. That's Sasha for you. Hmmm, King using Sasha to get the watch back from Bino? Sounds like a great plan.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:31 am

Ooh, now Sasha gets to do something meaningful again! And she's not even breaking character to do it, it seems. Bravo!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:31 am

Huh. Never really expected Sasha to show up. Smooth move there, Rick!

I'm guessing Sasha will pretend the watch is Bino's 'true' Valentine gift. <_< >_> though... that would be one long wait @_@

on a funny note: That last panel just had to be edited.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:39 am

First panel just broke my heart

Poor King

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:43 am

Of course, Sasha! *face-palm* I keep forgetting.

I'm going wait to make assumptions about what happens next.

It seems Fox is getting suspicious, though...

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:45 am

Rightfully so. Even after Fox told King who that watch belonged to, he continued to try and get it. It's only natural to be suspicious of something like that.

Hopefully it won't adversely affect their relationship, long term at least.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:59 am

It's also obvious that Bino is going to get more annoyed with King.

I'm interested to see Sasha's response.

Ugh, 46 more hours until Friday... :[

At some point Fox is going to demand King tell him the truth.

copper · Post by **copper** » Wed May 18, 2011 1:20 am

And enter Sasha!

Excellent. This just keeps getting better and better!

Friday can't come soon enough!
