Game, set, match: Satau.

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:05 am

Man, second avatar and three panels in, she's already acting like a scolding mother. Also, that's one bullet point in regards to a past Dragon answered.

So, as I thought demigods aren't omnipresent.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:17 am

I thought Dragon would've been erased from all of time from the way things were headed. As if the influence Dragon and Pete was suddenly taken from every game piece.
Oh well! She's here now!

IIRC they aren't simply because of the rules of The Game. Normally they are.

I'm really rather interested in how they are going to get back home at this point. Its going to be hard

I have to admit, the "aged 5 days" part cracked me up

He's back in time, if not in place,
and feels the coolness of her grace;
his friends will vanish, without a trace,
as he holds the secret of the race.
She's on her way back to him now, this 'god',
and she'll find things just a bit odd.
He didn't get back here on his tod; ((Tod = English slang for 'own'))
she'll know he was helped. She's no clod.
Now how do our heroes get back?
Is there an answer in Peanut's sack?
Will Max step forward with a clue?
What are the motley crew going to do?

Ah Paradox! Paradox! Tarot has been seen!
Satua used sacred sword.
A Critical Hit.
The opponents Widdle Cat has fainted.

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:35 am

Maybe not. She mentioned having to touch it to prevent being detected, and she's still holding it. The rest of the group, though...

IdleCurator · Post by **IdleCurator** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:37 am

I suppose so but then how did they stay cloaked in heavens not enough part 3, they weren't all touching the lantern In the resteraunt.

I am happy that dragons back, she will make this mission.......interesting.

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:43 am

The lantern has been shown to have different settings. I would guess that it can be set to cloak either those in the general area or those making contact with the lantern.

Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:50 am

maybe once they touch it, they're cloaked until it's deactivated or they're disconnected from it somehow.

Nah, I should have mentioned it sooner. The proof is the over all fact that Dragon is still here in the past. If she were omnipresent, that would mean she's everywhere at once, but if she was turned into a mortal, then theoretically that should make Dragon everywhere disappear, since she's currently mortal. You know?

HundKatzeMaus · Post by **HundKatzeMaus** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:56 am

Is it just me or does Satau look in the 2nd panel like a little kid who got caught while playing pranks?

Pfft. Satau, you could have looked way more manly than that...

CosmicCoyote · Post by **CosmicCoyote** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 1:16 am

I know you're a demigod and all, Dragon, but from the perspective of everyone inhabiting the planet you're playing with, that sabercat is anything but "little".

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 1:53 am

Since Dragon was a teenager the last time we saw her, she must be a preteen or maybe 8 or 9 years old so I think the reference would be lost to her. X3

Dragon tends to get attracted to mortals, a thing for which Pete and Kitsune already made fun of her for. Not only that, Dragoninterfered many one time with Sabrina's love life and had Tarot 'steal' Peanut from Grape before trying to steal Peanut from Tarot.
And so I was wondering if Satau had his own girlfriend...

So all the cannon parings (with the exception of Miles/Lucretia, King/Bailey, Sasha/Kevin, and Zach/Kessica) had came together by luck?

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 3:02 am

we don't know how the Fibrina came to happen, but it is quite possible that, being Fido (like Peanut and Grape) a 'Dream Sunderer' avatar candidate for Pete, Dragon sent her as well as 'mission' to win Fido and steal him from Pete's grasp.
As of now, there is the nagging suspect that, had Peanut and Grape ended up together, they would've also ended up avatars for Pete (in fact, again, Tarot was sent to take Peanut just in time after the 'At the farm' arc events).

Mon Sep 14, 2015 3:08 am

you guys misunderstand. Tarot didn't steal Peanut from Grape.
she only had to step in because Grape had chosen Max. if Peanut and Grape had ended up together, everything would have been fine. but since that didn't happen, Tarot took Grape's place.

she says as much in the first two panels here

Which is funny, considering Dragon's a teenager.

That was my assumption.

But she hasn't been turned into a mortal yet.

It's only been 7,000 years. Pete spent 100,000 years in jail and didn't look like he'd aged a day.

It must be difficult for Dragon, get in love with so many mortals during those ages and watch them all die...

Not so great for Pete either (Panel 4):

Furryface18 · Post by **Furryface18** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 7:02 am

Well I guess Dragon is back to start up her shenanigans.
Satau looks like a child being yelled at in panel two.

I don't think she did. If she had she would have been better at it, probably, by the time of Peanut.

It seems to be the old "strong male and strong female must fall for each other" thing.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 8:57 am

Think it's because of Peanut. She likes a dog, so it's safe to assume she likes all dogs. =3

Not sure how many mortals she loved in her life, but history on her avatars is always nice.

Shippers gonna ship.
It would probably attribute to Sataus attitude towards Dragon and her response, a bit like Bino and Dutchess, just much less harsh.
Dragon speaks to him with affection and he is utterly devoted to her.

At least the ones that are animals. We don't know what happens to humans or to residents of other dimensions.

But dang, once her mortal lifetime is over, she needs to throw an awesome end-of-game wrapup party in Heaven. Fanart time?

I'm wondering if some people here are confusing omnipresence with omniscience. Omnipresence is being everywhere (not everywhen) all at once. Omniscience is knowing everything.
Due to their ability to 'jump' through time it may seem like the cosmic nerds are omnipresent, but they seem to be more like Q in that regard, jumping back and forth through time, and gaining knowledge with each jump. And they're definitely not omniscient. If they were, they would know the results of the game before they even set up the "no weird time junk" rule. (Which would make the game irrelevant, not to mention pointless.)

It would make sense that the lamp would have a "remain cloaked until this setting is switched off" setting. Otherwise, Satau could have been suddenly cloaked in front of Dragon's eyes when Tarot came in range with the lamp.
