Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 29, 2022

A healing costs a spell, music is free!

The magic of music!

I assume Lupin failed his health check.

The Bard abides! Saving Lupin through music….somebody’s got to do it!

Goldie saves the team! By keeping Lupin out of it! Clever Girl.

But Lupin is deaf, and I doubt that little has strong enough vibrations for Lupin to feel.

I’m imagining everyone continuing to play the game while Lupin bats dice around wildly. Everyone’s happy.

Lupin: “Wheeeeeeeee!”

Looks like the Rogue won’t be able to get into any more mischief for now. Btw, how long does a curse last?

The healing power of Puck’s toe beans! Halleluiah perhaps instead of squee?

Okay, Natasha, sing it!

“One hundred crinkle-y balls on a wall, one hundred crinkle-y balls,

Take one down and bat it around,

Ninety-nine crinkle-y balls on a wall … "

Eight individual sightings of toe beans, with bonus Natasha paw.

If there are greater dangers, surely you would want Lupin to be able to flee by himself. Or is Goldie planning to toss him to the dangers, while she flees?

Rare Sighting Of Triple Toe Beans (3 cats’ worth in 1 panel)!! And Never-Before-Seen Sighting Of Toe Beans In Every Panel! Squeeee!! This spell is indeed powerful, Natasha.

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks or Bend a Knotted Oak…not that Lupin is rock, but he can be a bit of a knot when he wants to be ;)

Catly treats? surely none are dangerous!!!❤️❤️❤️

what exactly are crinkle balls?

A cleric who wants to heal. What is this madness?

I’m reminded of far too many hours playing The Bard’s Tale, and wandering around the inns of Skara Brae.

Looks like Natasha needs to hook her lute to an amplifier and rock out.

I will note that Violet only said Lupin feels dizzy. The players seem to be filling in the gaps themselves, which could spell trouble for the VM. However, her comment in the last panel leads me to believe the bard has a role in this, which as someone who typically plays as a bard I find pleasing.

you know how when your printer stops working, sometimes when it comes back it’ll print the same document 5 times of you did not cancel those print jobs? every time the party ends up in a zone where magic does not work, i think about how funny it would be if when magic comes back, the entire queue of spells they tried to cast went off at once like a bunch of held actions. is that a thing that could happen? because it would be hilarious.

So, Goldie’s going to carry him? And the TOOTH! Toe beans!

You All Know This One

The Rogue comes alive

At the sound of music,

With powers to soothe

One who’s crinkle-crazed!

The bard warms the heart

With the sound of music

With lute in paw all the loot

They’ll save!

The cleric saves his spell for another time

Ready to heal at need

The fighter will take all comers on

And will never concede!

The wizard’s book has spells of all kinds

In a book at his side,

The VM’s all smiles,

And the snacks everyone satisfies!

…….

We play V and V

When the dice are ready

It’s always so nice

To get together with friends!

The bard can go on

With the sound of music!

The fun never ends!

Couldn’t Elvis cast a Reveal spell to see the dangers in the cavern?

Can someone remind we what all the characters are?

See him, cure him, touch him, heal him

Listening to lute, we get the music

Playing tunes, you look so sweet

Following you, notes flow like fountains

We get enrichment from your beat

Right behind you, fans by the millions

On you, they see the glory

Over song, you have dominion

From you, we get the story

- Pete Townshend – See Me, Feel Me – The Who

OT: NewCat

OMG I love these episodes!!!!

OT: GC did a wonderful job of housecleaning yesterday! I’m only sorry some good posts like the animal rescue story also got removed. I’m assuming it’s because there were troll comments so the whole topic is gone. Anyway, I went to Big Nate just now and found this from Knuckles (who just posted here) “Knuckles(head reporter of FOX news) 28 minutes agoMuffins and teddy or aldof wright, your banned. Make a new account with a fake email and reuse your password. Comment nice things on breaking cat news and here since the mods are atcive on those places.”

What die do you roll to save vs. being carried off by your frenemy?

I think dazed Lupin is a good thing.

Obviously not one of those “leave no cat behind” expeditions.

So now my question … is Lupin able to hear in-universe, or are we relying on the vibrations to soothe him?

Uh remember he is deaf

Such lovely news, Miss Mina!

Similar theme (but from the “monster’s” perspective) at Tavicat today…

Alas the crinkle ball has done Lupin wrong

To curse him this discourteously;

And he hath loved it oh so long

Delighting in it’s crinkling.

Crinkle was his delight,

Crinkle the sound pure gold

Crinkle was Lupin’s heart of joy

And what but the Ball Crinkle

Lupin hath been ready to bat at you

To enjoy whatever thy would’st offer;

But you hath taken his life and land

Your crinkle and curse now he doth have.

Crinkle was his delight,

Crinkle the sound pure gold

Crinkle was Lupin’s heart of joy

And what but the Ball Crinkle

Thy body of sendle white

With gold thou crinkle gorgeously;

Thou art made of silk and white

And you hath fooled him gladly.

Crinkle was his delight,

Crinkle the sound pure gold

Crinkle was Lupin’s heart of joy

And what but the Ball Crinkle

Soothing music’s not gonna work great on a deaf, crinkle-crazed cat…
