Ohno, Oh freak'in no, I think I got Pete's plan right here!legionbunny wrote:this brings up a new issue though. Pete said that the dark paladin (king) is powered by discontent,that means that now that king has fallen in love and gotten married (happily) that he is weaker since he enjoys life as a dog. Petes gambit to make him into an unhappy angry dog failed, he is still somewhat discontent, but less so than if he hadn't met Bailey, he still wants the ordeal to end but it looks to me like the ball is ever so slightly in petes court.Obbl wrote:He called King his "plan B", so I assume the little corgi is still his best shot at this, and we all know Pete's not above a little coercion.IceKitsune wrote:Also since, as per this strip, Pete doesn't actually need this gambit and there are too many ways for King to get out of it why is Pete even bothering at this point?

The way I see it, he's not going to touch Bailey at all. The whole point of the contract however is to scare King.Obbl wrote:I don't think Bailey is a Dark Paladin. She isn't prone to the grumps. Pete said that Dark Paladins are powered by discontent, which doesn't seem to fit Bailey at all. She was content even when her old family had to give her up and agrees with Sasha that King always focuses on the negative.
To clarify what's happening from the position of an attentive fan, rather than a staff member, a couple of celestial teenagers are vying for control of their geeky gaming group, the U & U Basement Crew. These entities elected to play a side-game in the Housepets! universe to determine who would be the group leader. Once this has been done, they have no further business in that universe and, thus, this comic. Due to a small, yet extraordinarily vocal, number of readers who throw a hissy fit every time this story line comes up, Rick decided to rush things along. Thus, the comic will focus primarily on this plot line for the next several months to draw it to a rapid conclusion, rather than spreading events out over multiple arcs, which could take years.IceKitsune wrote:I swear if Bailey is also a Dark Paladin I'll be back when this whole thing is over with. I really, really hope this Arc is the last time we have to deal with this Cosmic Nerd stuff.

What about the Dragon loves Peanut aspect of it? Is that officially dead? I for one wouldn't mind seeing her still try to profess her love for him, possibly to the extent that she offers to give up her immortality for him. I realize it would be something of a slippery slope to keep her from seeming like a creepy stalker, but I think Rick is a good enough writer that he could handle it if he chooses to go that route.diss wrote: These entities elected to play a side-game in the Housepets! universe to determine who would be the group leader.

Bummer. I like the silly chicken-vs-lizard plot. Maybe they can cameo in one-shots. I can see them sitting in the green room with Jinx and What Chicken waiting for a call.diss wrote:Due to a small, yet extraordinarily vocal, number of readers who throw a hissy fit every time this story line comes up, Rick decided to rush things along.

Now that's a role I'd love to see King take on. We already know he looks dashing in costume.WhoElseButQuagmire wrote:"Wait a minute! This is a contract to star as a kid's edutainment TV show host!"
This. Is. Great!Welsh Halfwit wrote:Oh dear Oh King
what have you done?
You invoke the Griffin
and now he has come,
with grin and contract,
to capture your name
before Bailey arrives
and enters the game.
So will you sign it?
Will you be his avatar?
Will you deny him
and risk him going that far?
You've called him on pride
and he's tugging on yours
begging the question
Children. Feet or paws?
That is very possible.Lucid_Dragon wrote:Also, throwing my prediction in there: Pete basically says "With you turned back into a human, she's going to feel quite betrayed. The heartbreak would consume her, making her the very image of misery...She'd make an even better avatar than you would. >:)" This would lead to King begging to become the avatar to protect her. After signing the contract, King would then wake up back in bed, it having been a dream ("or was it?" ) and Bailey not knowing about the deal.
And poor Fox. I assume that King's secret will be revealed, this will break Fox again as another of his close friends has a secret deep inside him that he didn't share with him. The last time we saw Fox, he was pretty down from what came to his ears. I would like to have seen him again before this happens to see if he is over with this already.TheWolfKin wrote:Every way that I can imagine this going ends in tragedy. I don't like those odds. Poor King, and poor Bailey.
Great, now I'm imagining Bailey being the kitsune's avatar and I can't make a good scenario out of thataBritishfox wrote:Plot Twist:
Bailey is actualy an avatar herself.
Did Cerebrus even go to any celestial law school? Hydra might have (assuming there is one), but with Cerebrus I'm pretty sure she doesn't even work anywhere near that field of work anymore.Frank wrote: What's this? A cosmic contract? I demand a cosmic lawyer! She must have three heads!
Kitsune is the game master and, as such, does not have an avatar. He's around mostly to ensure fair play.Iceheart wrote:Great, now I'm imagining Bailey being the kitsune's avatar and I can't make a good scenario out of that
*Giggles* I'm sure some random cosmic nerd is playing as well...Would be amazing if Diss was the nerddiss wrote:Kitsune is the game master and, as such, does not have an avatar.
