[2017/05/26 - Mana Many Needs ]
Title Text: also why are you telling me things I already know

Oh, great, it's now the start of Housepets: Civil War.

With a cameo by Spider-Jess that we've all been waiting for.

That's a Nostalgia Critic reference, by the way.

Sabrina has had enough of Demigods for one lifetime. Can't say I blame her.

Well Keene, looks like you need to find another psychic.

I'm definitely curious where this arc is going to lead. On one hand, they might not get anything, and the status quo will continue, but I'm more excited for the possibilities this creates. What exactly does Keene plan on changing?

So she's still annoyed he tried to sell her into bridery and almost killed her? Cats can hold grudges...

It’s quite the talk from Keene
to the garden’s feline queen.
He makes it all seem a doddle
but also makes it sound like twaddle.
Sabrina, you have to go too,
you have to see this through.
Is there a worse entry in your planner
than the one where Joey grabs the mana?
Venture into the Cookie lair
with Joey and that other pair;
Your friends are coming along as well
They’ve been the victims of Rez’s hard sell.

Is it just me or does Sabrina look off?

I doubt she has enough. I honestly can't remember how many times Sasha had anything to do with one of the demigods.
Sabrina on the other hand...

Well after the last time, it's no wonder, she doesn't want to go back. They got attacked by monsters and it is dangerous inside there.
I just hope Keene takes Karishad along. Why doesn't Keene just take Miles' boys along? I bet they would love something like that and they would be good bulky warriors or does Keene just try to go on a raid with a small army?

Now now Sabrina, just think about it. Now that you have... You should punch him. Remember what he did.

Agreed. We want eye colors back, Rick.

Technically, Sabrina and Tarot owe Keene one mana, since they used his to go back in time. Turnabout is fair play.

Cookie monster? Is it because the Gryphon is blue?

I'm sure this will not mess stuff up if you change reality. I'm sure kitsune or the other gods might not try to stop him. (hope so cus this will be messed up if he uses this Mana to pretty much to force his will on everyone. )

That or he makes everyone a furry.

I'm with you guys, hoping they are not gone for good><

That would be awesome! xD I can see both, Keene and Sabby/Tarot, recruiting pets in the LARP for and epic battle.

I have some dire information to give you all...
*Dramatically removes glasses*
The removing eyware cliche was used in this strip with dramatic effect.
*Dranatic music begins to play*

Sabrina. Why am I terrible with names? This is why I need tags.

NO!

For a black cat, she's been getting lighter and lighter over the years.
In a few more years, she will fade away. 0.0

Reverse-Gallifrax.

I don't think he'd have the power to make ALL humans into animals, but doing it to a strategically useful subset... like maybe the Supreme Court...

So Keene is going to try to use mana to change the mortal world in the way he sees fit?
That's got to be labeled as cheating in a rulebook somewhere!

Soerix · Post by **Soerix** » Fri May 26, 2017 8:38 am

This arc is gonna be pure genius =D

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri May 26, 2017 10:08 am

Maybe, just increase animal lifespan to match human?

Bullet · Post by **Bullet** » Fri May 26, 2017 12:13 pm

So... you want to go in a dangerous Temple, build by a mad Celestial being, full of dangerous creatures, with a bunch of LARPers, steal the Mana source to change and violate the worlds social and physical laws to equalize Humans and Animals?

...Sounds fun. I'm in. Where do I have to sign?

IronLucario2012 · Post by **IronLucario2012** » Fri May 26, 2017 12:47 pm

Am I missing something? I was under the impression he wanted to do it without magic because doing it with magic would *insert bad consequences here since it's been a while since I read that particular strip* and he specifically turned Pete down since he didn't want to become a monster to do it?

Sam widing · Post by **Sam widing** » Fri May 26, 2017 12:50 pm

I hope there are consequences to this rather then letting Keene get away with this because he's Keene.

Didn't Karishad 'borrow' the mana to send Tarot, Peanut and the gang 3000 years back in time?

Given the fox's relationship with the universe...it wouldn't be far-fetched to think Kari just found one somewhere.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri May 26, 2017 1:14 pm

Pete is the one codenamed Cookie Monster, right?

He already gave Keene the mana, but, successively Karishad "borrowed" it for another use.

Now, Keene needs a new one to take from the temple for that his goal, and dad's dream, but you asked the wrong cat.

You have enough of such stuff, Sabrina, right?

Well, he probably COULD, it is magic(k) after all. However, there's a major problem with this idea:
Wouldn't making humans and animals equal or humans into animals (despite technically still being animals) ruin the entire concept behind Housepets? I mean it has "Housepets!" in the title. If everyone is equal, there wouldn't be pets anymore. And if everyone was an "animal", pets would just be kids. Not that this is a bad thing morally or plot wise, but unless Rick's planning on ending the series or changing the franchises title and what it's about, this wouldn't make sense. Something tells me Keene's plan is not going to succeed, or at least it won't be exactly what he wanted.

Also, keep in mind that turning people into animals (many of which are already old) would shorten their life span? If that was Keene's plan, he'd better hope that after wishing an entire species be altered that there was enough mana left for a second wish to increase their lifespans too

And the last point of mana ends up being used to undo all the wishes

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Fri May 26, 2017 5:32 pm

What if... Keene does use the mana to balance the world, but nothing physically changes because the physical world is already balanced? Or if he does attempt to change the laws of the world, Bahamut may step in?

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Fri May 26, 2017 8:30 pm

Keene wants to acquire a power capable of reshaping reality through a group of individuals obsessed with fantasy worlds?

I see no way how this plan could go awry!
