After seeing the strip in your link I'm wondering:
If the Winner leads the game group that would mean Kitsune was the winner of the last game....but...who was the loser of the last game?
Cerb doesn't know much about dog manners....I wonder how it looks like, then she tries to sniff somebody...

Ahahah, Peanut is always himself. Keep sniffing everybody, in every moment, everytime!
Well, now doesn't really matter for the time gone, better later than never to put back the fate at its place. Some years are few minutes for a demigod, indeed...
Also Joel's grumpiness is the same of King's one, that's him, the personality didn't change.

I assume it's referring to Tarot and being mindblown, or the fact that Cerberus gives Kevin a run for his money.

Tarot is the Psycho Pom (psychic Pomeranian) they were seeking, and Cerberus is the Psychopomp (one who escorts the dead to their final rest) that they got.

Either you're trying to be funny, or you're confusing psycho with psychic. Psycho is a mental illness, psychic is a...I'll leave out my Biblical beliefs here... But from the world's perspective, a psychic is a person that can see the future.
Also I see it as "pom= Pomeranian, pomp=pompous/pomp&circumstance"

Buretsu actually got it. Tarot, in case you haven't noticed, is a little psycho. The definition of a psychopomp is one who escorts souls to the afterlife. Please don't set out to correct others, it's not in accordance with the forum rules and makes you look silly when you are wrong.

I get the feeling that Cerberus's middle head controls her body, other than the other two heads from the neck and up. Maybe the other two heads strengthen the actions the middle one makes if their purpose is the same (like when attacking Pete).
More likely the heads on the side control their respective sides, which explains why the center one is grumpy.

My phone's internet connection isn't all that great, so I hadn't thought of taking the time to Google for definitions. Therefore I didn't realize what a "psychopomp" actually was. I had noticed Tarot is a bit...off...(personally I don't like calling anyone psycho because my Dad is a Vietnam vet and I've heard too many people judge him that way. That word just rubs me the wrong way, so I avoid using it when I can.)
With all due respect it wasn't my intention to correct. I realize my text could have sounded that way, and I apologize for that. By making the "either" statement what I was trying to say that I saw more than one possibility in what I was reading.
I was also merely trying to put my opinion out there in the open. As I mentioned I hadn't searched for the definition of "psychopomp" but only noticed the "pomp" part at the end. And having Pete on the brain with his pompous parasitic pestering (Chauncey would be proud) was making me associate "pomp" with "pompous" even more.
Again, sorry if anyone thought I was rude or intrusive. It wasn't my intention.
Lastly, I don't mind looking silly sometimes and I can take proper correction from nearly anyone, provided I can understand the reason(s) why the correction is directed at me.
Ok... now that that's (hopefully) behind us, does anyone have any thoughts on my Karishad question from before? (Karishad being Pete's post-loss mortal life?)

Cerb's reaction to Joel's outrage makes me think Pete understands mortals' perception of the passage of time far better than some of the other celestials. This could explain why he desperately wants to avoid having to live a lifetime as one.

Possibly, I've seen the speculation about Karishad being Pete's mortal fate but I kinda doubt it, way different personalities for starters.

Whoever said Pete would have controll of said body. Karishad could be Petes cute fluffy mortal PRISON! Imagine being trapped in there with no means to control or get out. Perfect punishment for the gryphon me thinks.

Well, the middle is the one that wears the collar, to which in such cases, is also the "head" of the group (like "who wears the pants" analogy). That's my understanding anyways. I mean, even the poses she makes would suggest the middle head is the one in charge of it, as such poses from the expressions on the other heads doesn't seem to fit. With regard to the twins, that is what they are. Twins, meant to be separate but were not when in the womb. Cerberus, for all intents and purpose, is not considered to have such a defect but is how her "species?" is meant to be.

Cerebus' collar is likely nothing but decoration... I hardly think demigods need to have tags lest they be thrown into the pound. It would look silly on the other heads, and there's no reason to assume it has any more meaning than that.
Besides, rule of funny. Having the middle head be grumpy because it's just along for the ride is funny.
