So... car crash? Maybe too much orange soda?

So, the room of recall does not clarify the situation. He just fell dead without apparent reason.
My English is bad. Sorry for that.
Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
Doesn't make for an entertaining/amusing/emotional arc if it was wrapped up immediately. We have a long wait for this one to be over. Simply wait for concrete stuff as it comes in, like events we've just confirmed, or wait for the whole arc to finish.bjchan95 wrote:Man the worst thing about all this is that I have no idea how to update the wikia, all we're getting are fragments and unanswered questions!

Left knows right didn't console him
as Cerberus pulls Keene from the pond;
dragging him back from the mundane
and returning him to the beyond.
Keene fell, it seems, during the fight
as reality becomes crystal clear.
It takes decades to change the law;
it takes decades to overcome fear.
Fear of losing human status;
Fear we'll not be top of the crop.
Exhaustion finishes the fighter
Exhaustion makes the hero drop.

Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
So it's essentially confirmed, he DID die for no reason at all.

Yes, a fatigued body will eventually give out. Exhaustion is my speculative cause of death.

Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
Possibly old age? I've never thought of Keene as old, but as I think about it, don't smaller animals in this world age 7.5 years for every year? That'd be over 50 years of aging in the time since the ferrets were introduced in 2009.
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.

Are we sure this is meant to be the way he died? Looks for me more like "your unfinished business" kind of thing P=
Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
I could see an ending where Keene ends up not being dead, but he has to take a step back from his business life cause the amount of stress he is handling
Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
I'm still hoping that this is all some kind of divine trick and that Keene is in fact, still alive. Heck, he never even had a chance to use that mana that Pete gave him (although would that even still be good, after what happened on that front?).
But more critically, with Keene being the primary legal and intellectual drive behind the Milton estate, just how much would be undone, and fall apart, if Keene were to ever actually die? His is a unique position, and there really isn't anyone else with the ability or will to pick up where he left off.

You're all wrong. Boredom is clearly what did him in. It just had a late onset.

The mana was used by Tarot and Sabrina when they tried to teleport Satau back to his time, but I agree I also think Keene isn't really dead. I still think it's an out of body experience. Maybe he is in a coma right now?leinglo wrote:I'm still hoping that this is all some kind of divine trick and that Keene is in fact, still alive.

I could think that he will learn to also rely on his sibling and not do everything alone, because they're more competent than everyone thinks. That could be a possibility.

But yeah, that's about what I was thinking too. Keene learning to take better care of himself, and to get his siblings more involved in his work precisely so that everything isn't all riding on his shoulders alone.
Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
Sort of an inverted "A Christmas Carol" with Keene having to learn the lesson that you can't just live for other people either? He needs Breel to teach him to have fun?HundKatzeMaus wrote:The mana was used by Tarot and Sabrina when they tried to teleport Satau back to his time, but I agree I also think Keene isn't really dead.

Also, I'm reminded of this passage from Larry Niven's novel "World of Ptaavs". Charley is a dolphin who wants to join the space colonization effort:
When I read that, in the '70s, it seemed like we might have space colonies in my lifetime. Doesn't seem so likely any more."Givvv me ti', givvv me ti'," Charley mimicked. "First Larrry, then 'Arrnerr. Time is all we get. Do they want the stars all for themselves?"
"I think you underrate them," said the older dolphin.
"Surely there's room for both of us on any world." Charley hadn't been listening. "They practically didn't know we were here until a short time ago. We could be useful, I know we could."
"Why shouldn't they have time? Do you know how much time they themselves needed?"
"What do you mean?"
"The first walker story about a trip to the moon is thousands of years old. They didn't get there until a hundred and fifty years ago. Have a little patience," said the one with the worn teeth and the scarred jaw.
"I don't have thousands of years. Must I spend my life looking at the sky until my eyes dry out?"
"You wouldn't be the first. Not even the first swimmer."
Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
It's entirely possible he's in limbo from exhaustion, but this comic here is likely the strongest foreshadowed moment: He could've been in a car accident.
Now we just have to see if he'll wake up. If he does, he'll likely have a new goal in mind. Give the fortune to someone else? =3

That settles it, Keene died because of a paradox.
If I hit someone with a dictionary is that physical, or verbal assault?

Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
I think that Cerberus pulled him out before he got to the memory of his death, or whatever.
But yeah, he was living a pretty stressful life for a domesticated ferret. Couldn't have been good for his blood pressure.
Although, even if he died in his sleep that doesn't explain why Cerberus didn't remember bringing him to Heaven.

In all honesty, it kind of makes me uncomfortable. The idea of romance between unwed individuals in heaven just feels wrong to me.

I know I may be the only person who feels this way, but I do hope Keene actually died. I know that sounds horrible, but hear me out. I hate when authors make a drastic change, only to hit the cosmic reset button at the end. It plays with the audience's emotions, and wastes time. Keene dying shows Rick isn't afraid to make a huge change and deal with the consequences.
Plus it would be kind of cool to see someone visiting heaven that actually got to stay, for a change.

Re: 2016/05/11 - World Weary
Problem is, when you start killing off the main characters, where do you stop? Eventually they would all die of old age or other causes - you'd have to start over with a new generation. Without the characters Rick has developed over years that people have become invested in, the comic might lose its appeal to a lot of followers, especially considering he hasn't put much effort into developing another generation of characters, except maybe Miles's cubs.ThreeEightNine wrote:I know I may be the only person who feels this way, but I do hope Keene actually died.

Definately not me. But, he sort of has actually, I mean there've been enough couples shown. Zach+Jessica, bailey+King, Sabrina+Fido, and even Peanut+Grape all have potential to create the next gen, tho it could get a little weird.
