Title Text: look at it this way, if you fail, you won't have enough time to feel bad about it.

You know those movies and games where the normal kid has to save all of reality? Like that. You'll find some godly artifacts to go with your school uniform pretty easily, so have fun.

Well at least Spring and Summer are here to help.

Yikes! That mana pool has a lot more power than it should! And I hope Spring and Summer can focus on the task!

"Why does this town suddenly have to save the world so many times?!?"

Team Tarot sprouts three huskies
in their battle against the ferret.
The two new girls are sure seductive
so their inclusion has much merit.
Four beautiful girls and a guy
usually means it’s Heaven on Earth
if Fox can abandon that frown
and surrender his humour to mirth.
One day he may remember them
and what they did in Heaven
and push his happy memories
all the way to cloud eleven!

As I see it, after this:

The only thing Pete could do in the game was sit there and accumulate mana until the temple was unlocked. So it would stand to reason he would have A LOT.

Hmm... That quote sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it...

Also yes, but I'd think that there would be a legal limit to the amount of power they could accumulate and use. I feel it's hard to believe that heaven would allow them to possess literal WORLD BREAKING power to just throw around at each other in the first place if they really don't like artifacts like that existing. Kitsune dropped the ball on his GM duties there.

I'm starting to suspect from this comic that the mana is much more serious than it sounds from Heaven's perspective if they are going to get people interfering.

Makes me wanna bet there is an evil angel somewhere.

So... Three teams - that I'm calling Team Tarot, Keene's Kommandos and Grapes Gladiators until we know better. I wonder who's next?

Tappy Too · Post by **Tappy Too** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:32 am

Man, this arc has quite the expansive cast. And now I'm suddenly starting to believe that Joey and his nerd friends joining was just a throwaway gag. Sigh.

Also is it just me and my Mox shipping ways, or does Fox look really uncomfortable and generally not happy to be around those two?

Edit: Well, maybe not "not happy" but definitely flustered and confused. Maybe creeped out?

Well how would you feel if two people you didn't remember suddenly started getting really affectionate? I'd think most people would be uncomfortable.

Well keep in mind Fox has no memories of being in heaven. So he's probably uncomfortable cause to him, this is the first time he's ever met these two.

Also, Is Mox a ship between Fox and Max?

That's a good point. I didn't think about this earlier but it's probably safe to assume that they actually got to know each other some in heaven before they started getting all touchy feely.

Mox is a ship between Mungo and Fox, because Fungo sounds weird

They don't like it, but it doesn't mean it's the end of the world for them. Why do you think they only sent pre-existing mortals to remove it instead of a celestial like Kitsune or Cerberus? I think Celestials are more like Greek Gods in the sense that they kinda just use mortals for their amusement. Sure some of them do understand and care about them but in the end of the day they'll all just go to an afterlife.
Basically: destroying a dimension's universe would be like losing a saved file to a game and having to reboot it with a new game. It'll kick back eventually! Only really annoying part is that the afterlife realms would get REEEALLY crowded all of a sudden.

Does Fox really not remember those two? Bummer...

Also, who wants to bet they'll ask King? I have a feeling he may shockingly join them, only if it means ending the game once and for all.

Because, for the writers' sanity, teams are best kept small.

I think they don't regard all of Keene's recruits as explicitly working for him yet. They consider Peanut, Grape, and Res to be their own group. They could consider Joey's group to be separate as well.

The green husky seems impressed by Fox's physique. It's not make-believe this time, pup. That's all real. ;3

I like the way Tarot looks in this. I also like that she thinks Fox can excel at this LARP thing. I can only imagine what she would think if he hadn't beefed up.

Not A Furry · Post by **Not A Furry** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 9:11 am

My understanding is that either:

Team one is Keene, Breel, Joey, Grape, Peanut, Res, Dallas and Lester (8) and team two is Tarot, Sabrina, Fox, Summer and Spring (5)

or

Team one is Keene, Breel, Joey, Dallas and Lester (5), team two is Grape, Peanut and Res (3) and team three is Tarot, Sabrina,
Fox, Summer and Spring (5)
Though if you don't count the celestials, it's 4 versus 3 versus 3.

ooooor

Team one is Joey, Dallas and Lester(3), team two is Keene and two of the foxes(3), team three is Peanut, Grape and Res(3), team four is Fox, Tarot and Sabrina(3), which would make it fair.
And one celestial for each team (If summer/spring split, which I doubt).

We might see other characters being recruited though, my bet is on Max being dragged away and/or Tarot reprehending Peanut for being on the enemy team.
Idk.

I'd expect those groups to end up gravitating to one of the divine teams. Probably each group to a different team.

Also, cute huskies vs Breel. HOW TO CHOOSE?

Now that makes sense:

Team one: Keene, Breel, Joey, Dallas, Squeak, Lester and two foxes (8)
versus
Team two: Peanut, Grape, Res, Fox, Tarot, Sabrina, Summer and Spring (8)

Peanut wouldn't be competing with Tarot

btw I always type "Argent" instead of Breel when thinking of him because of your profile pic

Except that Kitsune does seem to care, even if he's a bit of a troll. He kept Dragon from destroying everything with a modified infinite range spell, and he tricked Pete and Dragon into both loosing because both needed to learn a lesson about how they treated people. It seems weird that he would overlook something like this.

Maybe he didn't. Who's really behind these shenanigans, anyway? Someone who would make a game out of the solution?

The celestials aren't omniscient. It could just be an oversight in the U&U rule-set, an unforeseen combination of factors leading to the current situation. It would stand to reason that the rules as written would assume each player was actively spending mana on each turn (or however it's organized) rather than hoarding it forever.

(It was stated that the 1 on 1 PVP duel they were doing was not the way the game was intended to be played)

Or the artifact could be something else entirely. We'll have to see.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 1:03 pm

That doesn't sound well, Tarot, and you and Sabrina still haven't seen the coming of a third angel, that's Breel.

Eheh, indeed, they all look to be on Earth to see someone, than to protect the universe.

The mana pool is more dangerous than it seems...

I agree with Fox, all this thing sounds too hard, and not only for him, but for any creature of the Earth... Ok Tarot, if you say so.

Oh, and an hat looks enough to make everyone a celestial adventurer of some sort.
