[Saturn381]

It's that simple.

[Gbr23]

Doing actions without thinking... yeah I’m an expert in that

[Iceheart]

I love Tarot's "Done With This" face

[Welsh Halfwit]

Can you say TA-DAH, Children?

Tarot can.

Finally, at this late stage,
the two competitors are on the same page.
Tarot’s helping her enemy win.
Perhaps now a new age can begin?
Working together rather than fighting.
Arthur and Merlin, Thunder and Lightning.
Better together, unusual apart
their differences are only the start.
If you want peace it’s between acts
those of grace, horror, fiction and facts.
The choices we did or didn’t make;
the connections true, the differences fake.

[IceKitsune]

Well, I can kind of guess how this is going to end. His dream powers are going to allow him to basically do anything he wants. Also isn't the Mana one use only? I'm pretty sure that was said at some point.

[Bandit1990]

The Mana brick they had before was one use. As there is apparently still a sizable amount on the floor I guess it can be used until it's gone.

[GameCobra]

I'm guessing Keene is going to save Breel without the power of mana. Everyone else is going to use it for something else or will have to convince Tarot otherwise why they can use it responsibly since Breel hinted they were ready to use it.

I'm getting more curious as to what Keene is going to do after this arc is over. x3

[leinglo]

I'm guessing Keene is going to save Breel without the power of mana. Everyone else is going to use it for something else or will have to convince Tarot otherwise why they can use it responsibly since Breel hinted they were ready to use it.

With the Forgotten having TKO'd most of the other players (where was, and is, Karishad?), I doubt Tarot will have much trouble defending the mana now. In fact, she'll probably use the opportunity to just drain it like she and Sabrina originally planned while Keene's off trying to save Breel.

[Douglas Collier]

Wait, if Keene has power over dreams, does he have the ability to use “wake up”?

I’m glad that Tarot was kind enough to help him here. Perhaps she deserves more credit than we’ve been giving her.

[Bandit1990]

Maybe, but just removing the MacGuffin at this point strikes me as wrong somehow.

[jonas]

Think of Christmas, think of snow!
Think of sleigh bells, off you go!

[Douglas Collier]

Or he could have summoned forth a giant bird to ride upon.

[leinglo]

The real question now is: What is going to happen once Keene flies through that portal? We know that the powers of the hats are provided by the Temple, and don't work outside of it. It may still be unclear just where that portal leads, but I think we can agree that it's outside the Temple.

[Douglas Collier]

Well, perhaps it’s a pocket dimension that was pulled within the temple’s area of effect..

[Bandit1990]

Dream powers and worlds within worlds, somewhere there's a top that may or may not be starting to wobble.

[Ryusuta]

Wait a second! Did Tarot actually give useful advice... BEFORE something else went wrong? Not bad.

[Argent]

"Just throw yourself at the ground and miss!"

The trick is getting distracted at the right moment.

Fenchurch, for example, was distracted by a bird's nest in the gutter of the house across the way.

[HundKatzeMaus]

Wait, if Keene has power over dreams, does he have the ability to use “wake up”?

I’m glad that Tarot was kind enough to help him here. Perhaps she deserves more credit than we’ve been giving her.

I hope so, I kinda miss that running gag

Yeah, look what happens if one gets the chance to explain and if the other person is even willing to listen to said explanation.

[TeflonCougar]

"Just throw yourself at the ground and miss!"

But keep your towel handy for use as a landing pad should you fail the first time.

[NHWestoN]

"A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.
In dreams, you will lose your heart aches.
Whatever you wish for, you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come shining through.
No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing,
the dream that you wish will come true."

....and I'm goin' back to bed....

[Bill in OK]

Wait, don't forget the fairy dust.

[Frank]

You know, a mana-based solution might be exactly what they need to fix this mana-based problem

...or is this more a "monkey's paw" variety of mana?

[Douglas Collier]

Knowing Pete, that wouldn’t be out of the question.

[Soerix]

I don't get it.
Why does Tarot tell Keene to use his sleeping cap's power without thinking about it?
Isn't that the point? Thinking about flying to use this power and fly up there?

[NHWestoN]

Sorta like "muscle memory" - like you don't think about how to turn a door knob, you just know viscerally how to do it - except this also involves magiks? Or riding a bike?

On the other hand, the brain is such that it tends to focus on what's thrown up to its attention ... Like, oh, um....... QUICK! DO NOT THINK OF A HIPPOPOTAMUS !!!

.... and you just thought a hippopotamus.....

Oh, well, at least Tarot's not slipped off sulking into pout-sylvania.
Regards.

[GameCobra]

Dude.
Dude.

What if...
What if Maxwell is gone because of the scroll... and Tarot destroys the mana...

Dude.

[NHWestoN]

Yeah, where in temple is everybody who isn't Keene or Tarot ?!

[Cesco]

Eh, there's no way according to Tarot: you can't touch the mana, Keene. But, looks like Keene was using that night hat because he went to sleep, and not because he knew that had to be teleported there with Breel, right? That's a good possibility, fly over the mana pool will also help Keene to reach Breel. Don't even think that, just do it! Meanwhile, the other 3 angels there could give him an help...

[House42]

Wasn't there something about being able to fly as long you didn't think about it in one of the later entries into the Hitchhiker's Guide series?

[Argent]

Wasn't there something about being able to fly as long you didn't think about it in one of the later entries into the Hitchhiker's Guide series?

Indeed. There have been several references to it already.

[TheOne]

Think of Christmas, think of snow!
Think of sleigh bells, off you go!

And bid your cares goodbye!

"A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.
In dreams, you will lose your heart aches.
Whatever you wish for, you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come shining through.
No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing,
the dream that you wish will come true."

....and I'm goin' back to bed....

Wait, don't forget the fairy dust.

Two Disney songs and a fairy dust reference in one thread... We're on a roll!
...
What if my "happy thought" is the thrill of flight itself?

[Connorses]

He can do things that would happen in dreams?

Wow, he had the most potentially overpowered hat all along.

[IceKitsune]

Wasn't there something about being able to fly as long you didn't think about it in one of the later entries into the Hitchhiker's Guide series?

It's not really that you don't think about it, it's that you throw yourself at the ground and miss. The exact quote being "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties."

[Keldor]

Now if Keene starts thinking about flying, will he fall? This could be troublesome.

[xhunterko]

Okay this is cool and all and the thing looks nightmarish enough to give me nightmares. However, I think we can all agree that we need some puppies, or kittens, or a wedding, or baby roos, or puppies and kittens, after this though. OR all of the above? One can dream.

[NHWestoN]

Yeah, I'm ready for a week of Bailey's litter or Sasha's poetry corner or something gentle and daffy....

[Argent]

Bino snuggling Bruno.

[GameCobra]

Guys, i wanna see where this is going :3

But while we're at it ~ Maxwell sleeping in the sandwich laundry.

Actually Miles will probably find him in Keene's massive four poster.
