Nice seeing Tarot and Sabrina again! Though this might be me looking to much into it, but is SU-1K041 a reference to something?

that's what the facebook post meant She got a new tag now that Dragon;s gone
Edit: nope, she had the new tag in the sketch (how did I not notice?), it was just about her mo upgrading.
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Nice tag, really.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Powering down is difficult
when you've been top for so long;
being reliant on other is hard
when they'll charge you a song.
Your friends will watch for you
when tech support has failed,
forcing an unneeded upgrade -
your old models life curtailed.
Balls to balls; there's an app for that
is the unwelcome lesson to hand;
I just hope the batteries don't die
like they so often do – unplanned.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
This makes me wonder - is this where we are going to see her powers start to fade, as mentioned here?
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
So tarot's tag is now a... tarot card

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
It probably already has faded. I think her natural abilities (what she could do before Dragon) are probably still pretty good, they're just a lot less powerful than when she had Dragon.SnuggleKing wrote:This makes me wonder - is this where we are going to see her powers start to fade, as mentioned here?

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I hate upgrading, it costs money. This is probably why I am still on an iPhone 3 with IOS 4, or that my newest game system is the Wii.
I like Tarot's new tag, a Tarot card, heh.
On a side note, I can pronounce Tarot Card correctly, but when I pronounce Tarot's name it always comes out like carrot...

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Sometimes getting the newest model of the thing is bad.*hears knocks on door* Yes. Your newest version for your magic carpet is here. Thank you!
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
That's what you get for buying the cheap glass version instead of using quartz crystal. There's a reason they're called "crystal balls".
Solid natural crystal balls cost tens of thousands of dollars, but you can get "reconstituted quartz crystal" balls for $26 on Amazon.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I think that was Tarot's original collar before she met Dragon.
My characters!
I got too many colors to remember. I'll put them here to see. Aren't they nice? Yep! Absolutely!
(There's actually 6 eggs, but I ran out of links)

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
"There is no fix", she sighed and said,
"the magic's run its course,
within the sphere lies no excess
of supernatural force."
"Perhaps it's time that you moved on
to bigger, better things.
Fiery staves? Perhaps, cauldron pots?
Or glowing, engraved rings?"
"Or this replacement for your ball;
I'm sure you won't regret
purchasing this amazing tool,
our newest product yet!"
I cut the call and sat with Sab.
I'm feeling quite betrayed.
"News on the ball?" The black cat asked.
"They want me to upgrade."

Did a search on the serial number, first site on the list is Housepets! So I don't think there's a reference there.

Oh the struggles of upgrading. By the way, Tarot did look fluffier and I like the tarot card collar.
There's no place like home...except the Housepets home page.

A tech support for supernatural beings, this could be the next big thing!

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Thank you HoundInATree, but I'm pretty sure that Valerio (our great italian translator) was searching for a hidden meaning in the part number, as he probably noticed that SU-1KO41, when read in english, sounds approximately like "As you, one KO for one". But maybe the code has simply no meaning, and we were just expecting the unexpectable from Rick, as usualvalerio wrote:What's the joke with the ball 'serial number'?HoundInATree wrote:Did a search on the serial number, first site on the list is Housepets!

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I wonder if Tarot's red collar is meant to match Peanut's?
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I would not trust that company, if they support psychics and stuff, they should have know she was going to call... or that the ball was going to break. They're just out for money.
Currently traveling across the United States. Still up for any conversations though.
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I can't tell ya enough how adorable that would be if that ever turns out to be 100% true or maybe its one of Peanut's spare collars.Douglas Collier wrote:I wonder if Tarot's red collar is meant to match Peanut's?

Another thought: what about the second tag?
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Yeah what is that? The second tag kinda looks like an Ace, a Clover....a Heart or something maybe
The first one being a tarot card...i tell ya tags come in all shapes these days

it's not a second tag, it's the loose end of the collar, the part that goes through the buckle. at least that's how I see it.Timon64 wrote:Yeah what is that? The second tag kinda looks like a heart or something maybe

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
You know, I'm not sure I'd want some digital gizmo for my psychic work. Ghosts and other spiritual entities tend to drain batteries and play havoc with electronics. The Dresden Files series of books by Jim Butcher touched on this, and Ghost Hunters and similar 'reality' shows bear it out.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
I notice Tarot has a new collar and tag.
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Could be. I'm not an expert but in this case my bet is on "The moon", there are a wolf and a dog on it too... and doing a little search, some of the related keywords are "Lack of clarity" and "Obscured vision"...dtlux1 wrote:I like Tarot's new tag, a Tarot card, heh.
Little fact: in my local language (piemunteis) the old popular name for that card was "I cin ca baulu a la lun'a" , "the dogs barking at the moon"
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
A customers support that calls you when there's a problem while you're thinking to call it? Sounds really useful! Instead, they call you, yes, but to attempt to sell you not required subscriptions... Sad, your powers depended by the gone demigod, indeed. So, it's time to come to the technological side, Tarot, and look Sabrina, that despite is probably older than you she's behind the times (except for the hat she uses to wear). After, use that glass ball to put some goldfish inside, and refill it with water, don't forget it.
Apparently the crystal ball code has a meaning, maybe we'll know more in the next strips. Nice new collar and tag, but it's a bit sad don't see anymore the eye of Ra, the connection with Spirit Dragon. Someone else wants Tarot's phone ring?

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
Not sure why, but while Tarot has been annoyed quite a bit lately, that third panel is the coolest expression she has given with her eyes and mouth. I also attribute it to that fluffiness under her chin. :3
I never thought that Tarot would have her collar changed. I wonder if she got to choose the color and the tag or is it up to the owner? That red collar just matches Peanut's collar so easily. <3
Also: Pretty much all companies don't touch anything that is over 5 years. whoops.

Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
That's what I'm wondering too. But as somebody else mentioned, her Psychic abilities were so strong was because Dragon was giving her a Boost. She still has them, but the only good they're for now is probably for really short glimpses or premonitions or something like that.SnuggleKing wrote:This makes me wonder - is this where we are going to see her powers start to fade, as mentioned here?
Maybe this Arc has to do with them trying to live a normal life now that a Demigod is no longer breathing down their minds 24/7. But fingers crossed we get some tiny hint that the game may not be over yet... (Like a loophole or a loose end that has yet to be patched up)

I really think that we are gonna be done with the whole game thing at least for now. But I am interested in seeing how Tarot and Sabrina do function without their powers.
Re: 04/15/15 - The Other Psychic Hotline
The serial number is "IHOKIUS" in upside down leet (calculator leet).
