Housepets!

Nice to see the imaginations sessions again.

"Live action role-play with real life consequences !"

This can only end...hilariously

....and the award of "supportive" best friend goes to Grape!!! congrats!

Little Rez thinks it odd
people wear inventive bags upon their head.
It doesn’t show
how it lets flow
the knowledge that comes pouring out instead.
As arguments go on
Rez sees a wonderful, suspiciously placed, sign
he doesn’t know
it means the show
is being put on by one not known to be benign.
Poncho posts a con
pointed directly at a pair of candy sandwiches
They’re going to go

and they’ll return swathed in muslin bandages...

I love Peanut's expression in the first panel.

Just the right hint of insanity...

Whar Peanut said in the reminded me of the Conductor guy from ToQger.

this is gonna be epic!
For some reason I think Joey and his gang will be like the pros on larping war. Can't wait

So Res is going to get so e great experience and inspiration for his book, eh?

I was wondering how exactly Res, Grape and (now) Peanut will get involved in Keene's machinations.

I also expect Joey and company to show now!

Should we worry about how Keene doesn't appear to tell how lively-actioned this role play truly is? o.o

I get the feeling this isn't going to be as relaxing as Res hopes it will be.

This could be Lana at work.

I wonder what class Res will be. He strikes me as a magic user.

"You mean the time you ran away and cried"

Um... Is Grape referring to this?



Because after that, she clearly stated that she regretted being inconsiderate toward Peanut during that Imaginate game, and that she never wanted to hurt his feelings, and eventually told him that they were not lovers but they were still best friends in the whole wide world, right?
When she talked to Peanut and comforted him after that Imaginate game, she was very kind and gentle toward him.
And now she refers to that time by saying "the time you ran away and cried"?
That's pretty mean of a best friend to say that (especially since Peanut's crying was due to his crush on her), and it's really not the best way this beautiful arc should have a callback.

Eye colors are gone again. Please bring back again?

well Peanut doesn't seem too broken up about it. it's been years since then, maybe they've had time to discuss it more gently and have reached a point where it's something that can be brought up so nonchalantly.

I have a feeling that two plots are colliding...
Also HEY PONCHO! LONG TIME NO SEE!

There you go, signing the universe's death warrant again.

Hah! LARPing.

Wonder if Peanut will try stopping Res from being tempted to the Dark side. Probably not :3

So now i'm wondering who is going to be in this arc at this point? I was actually anticipating Grape, Res and the ferrets. Peanut is a must now.

Zach is going to get pulled in. For sure. And Karishad.

I want to see Jessica going along with Zach and just pwning the temple... but when she gets to the treasure it's all food and housewares.

I have to admit the universe is giving Res a pretty blatant sign. Can't be much more blatant than that really.

This arc is going to have all the laughs

Don't worry, she's probably just getting back at him for that time he told Res her shelter name.
I'm sure they are cool with poking fun at each other and like Brent said, it has been years since the event so they can probably bring it up for whatever reason without trouble.

Grape's default state seems to just be harsh, she doesn't really treat anyone differently until she really needs to, like if a friend is sad. She doesn't really sugar coat anything, and that can be seen in her relationship with Max and her friendship with Peanut. Plus, like the others said, Peanut really doesn't seem very broken up about it anymore, at this point she's just relaying facts back at him. Like it or not, that's just Grape's style
She CAN be really gentle, but it's not something she's going to be throwing around willy nilly.

It's nice see Res at Sandiwch's house knowing how Peanut and Grape have fun with imagination stories. Maybe play it could help you to find an idea, Res. They played also with your Pridelands stories. Yeah, that's a good way to cure anxiety, Peanut, but crying is good to vent yourself. Eheh, Grape, that his imagination wasn't to play. It's impressive what Milton Industries are organizing, participate it!

I literally made an account to say that I am super excited for LARP arc because I am a LARPer who also helps run a LARP.

well with the new advertisement I predict Joey and Squeak. maybe Dallas and Lester too. their genre savviness may prove quite useful, but as a writer Res may be savvy to the same tropes so he could fill that role

Hmm... If I get this right, this 'Live Action LARP' may end up creating a massive Party... But the worrisome part is that Humans maybe included, since the sign never mentioned. How would they react to being in the temple where their very lives are on the line? Humans do react pretty badly when they know their lives are on the line, and only a few actually have cop or military training... Then again, that might be even worst, since they'd know they are in danger from the start.

Not to mention that whoever was the one who Steward was talking to, may also try to take advantage of this event, maybe to sow distrust in the Miltons or gain access to Mana Stone, even both. We know that the mysterious person is not one to play nice, so we may have a pretty big threat to the Housepets! Universe in the wings.

Also, on a lighter note... Am I the only one who heard the Lyrics for Breaking Benjamin's 'Give Me a Sign' when reading the page title?

I don't think Dallas and Lester have ever been featured in a major arc. It would be interesting to see them playing off a larger group.

"What do you mean I don't get a Bag of Holding?"

Ahh, Grape. Dropping into either being 'cruel to be kind' or 'playful torture from an older sibling'...Which makes Peanut's infatuation slightly icky if I start thinking too deep on it...

This is not my best first impression. But my thoughts must leave my brain!

Also Peanut is wrong, anxiety FEEDS on imagination! All the things that could go wrong! All the fans Res could disappoint! It's all happening in Res' BRAIIIIIIIIN!!!! Like it did all of us as teenagers!

which i think is grape's point, YoungCoyote.

. . . . . .

Huh...

Okay, that user name takes some getting used to, cause it feels like I'm referring to you as a Padawan/Student/Initiate...

Ironically Peanut is the older.

I don't know if it was ever stated by Rick or said somewhere in the comic, but we all just roll with it.

I think the closest thing to it being stated outright is here
