Maybe the Sandwiches could pay the fine, and Jeff could pay them back.

Jake, Joeys owner, is his brother. So that seems more likely.

Unless he's bust playing D&D. Or was that Jeff that did that? Or both?

I thought that was Ryan, Fido's dad/owner. Though Jeff and/or Jake may do it too.

You're right, I mixed up Ryan and Jake.

Part 19: aftermaths

Post by Buster »

To the local rodents,
I knew renting space jam for you was a mistake. Look, i know Spo has a PHD now, but it's in linguistics, not one of the sciences. even if it was, basket balls do not work that way.

-Fido

-----

How did you...
what...
i don't even...

-Fido

-----

Spot, that's not a monster, it's just scratch. and while i appreciate you convincing the rodents their idea was dumb, next time find a way to do it peacefully please?

-Fido

-----

Of course it's you, all you did was take your glasses off and tie a red beach towel around your neck! Heck i can't even call it Clark Kenting because he at least has different posture and mannerisms. we saw you flying when you helped clear the snow.

-Fido

-----

...And now he's crying...

-Fido

-----

Sasha you can't arrest him you're not officially part of the squad.

-Fido

-----

Kevin holding up his spare uniform and shouting 'happy birthday' to get you to stop wreaking havoc on the neighborhood doesn't count as becoming a deputy.

-Fido

-----

what training course?

-Fido

-----

You what?
When?

-Fido

-----

I...
You...
Probationary officer?
How...

-Fido

-----

So apparently i'm in charge of announcements until fidey gets back from his therapist.

-Spo

-----

If anybody sees a digital stopwatch can they let King know?

-Spo

-----

When i said 'let king know' i didn't mean 'ransom the watch' bone breath.

-Spo

-----

So Bino's in the hospital, knight is traumatized and in therapy, Fidey had to go back to therapy straight after getting home, and the watch face getting cracked made king's head pop off.
He's fine though. somehow. just, carrying it around under one arm, it doesn't even drip or anything...

-Spo

PS: Hey king? Sabrina says if you get the watch face fixed, it should stick back on like it never came off.

-----

No i'm not explaining how i know 'Brina, fidey would kill me.

-Spo

-----

No, i'm not explaining that either.

Did Spot hurt Scratch?! :cry:
And don't blame him for not getting the subtleties of Clark Kent down, Peanut isn't a subtle person.
And Spo seems to not get how "pet names" are usually in private. Especially for a private relationship.
So Knight made King pull a Genstar, but without the floating benefit.

I guess 'bone breath' is Bino?
Aw, don't make Spot cry, Fido.

Intermission #2: Indoor rock concert

Post by Buster »

looks like i'm back in charge. Fido says we're 'too insane for him'.
MWAHAHAHAHA!
The whole 'cult leader' thing wasn't panning out anyway, might keep it as a side gig.

-Bino

-----

Kinda disappointed king got the head-thing fixed so fast, the whole headless doggo look was actually pretty cool.

-Bino

-----

Wait, Magnets in your collar?? why?

-Bino

-----

I did not know watch repairs cost that much...

-Bino

-----

Also Rex and co are going to be doing a concert over at the old manor. Apparently it has a room the size of a stadium in it, despite only being a third that big outside.

So, Bino is in charge. That doesn't bode well for the club. Good job, on these!

I think Rex could have a lot of talents we don't know about. We did find out at some point that hes a good baker.

we do see him singing "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" in an early Christmas comic

my question is: how did King's watch fall in this universe. Is Pete still trying to get him back instead of moving on to Knight?

king tarot sabrina and the old temples are considered void because of the restart, King is in between knight and the old temple. if pete
can reclaim it before Dragon gets bigs up to speed it's a HUGE strategic advantage.

I like the image of a lonely Bino posting notes that just say "Anyone?" And going back to sit down.

No, Bino, you’re supposed to say “The Scottish Play” .
So, dogs would rather watch Shakespeare than go to a Bino-led meeting, eh? I don’t blame them.

Why deal with Bino when you can do anything else that shows that you don't respect him or care too much for him and wish he would fall off a cliff? After all, everybody knows he is a loser and always will be. :lol:

Wait. That's ******* depressing. :cry:

Don't know if ill be continuing this. The lack of a consistent main cast in the source material, especially early on, really hurts my ability to adapt many of the actually interesting arcs, and in searching for material to use ive come to realise i dont actually like the comic that much. When i started reading it the majority of the plots were about king and there was a strong fantasy element which just isnt as consistent anymore and other than fox king and grape, i dont really care about most of the characters (hating keene and findiing tarot irritating doesnt help either.) So arcs not focused on them are kinda boring...

If you don't feel like you wanna continue, its OK but it was really intriguing to watch everybody go over the rails. I will of course be a little bit sad but its your decision. Not gonna force you to keep doing it. It was definitely a great ride while it lasted.

Going to have to track me down elswhere then.
Not going to write about/draw art of a series that nolonger holds my interest.
Honestly, the only reason im still on this forum at all is feeling guilty over considering ditching the RP crew here...

Well, if anyone wants to talk on Discord, I'm at D-Rock92#3747. I'm not much of one to start a conversation, though, so I pretty much never make the first move.

Anyway, I've been wanting to whip this up for a while now. Time with internet to post this is incredibly limited for a while, but while I can, wanted to show how I envisioned Scratch.
