But before that, you needed to prepare your assistants, the tricks, the magical trinkets, and last but of course not the least, your "boss" Presto the Magnificent.
"Why, of all the possible candles out there, are strawberry-scented candles the ones we can't use?" Presto rambled on as you recited the Chant of Calling, the mystical candles lighting up nothing, as it was high noon at this time.

"Not sure, now please don't bother me." You hastily say as you finish the chant, finishing with a fluorish of jazz hands for fun. "And now we wait."
I'm still not sure how sane Johanna is. She refers to presto as "boss" but she's having a conversations with him when there's no real reason to.

Also where the heck are we going to house a wyvern.

The reason "boss" is in quotations is because both Presto and Johanna know that Jo is the real boss, it's just that the world will think that Presto is the real boss. Or no, depending on what they think.

That's for future Jo to figure out. :p
 
Nobody's noticed the fae things flying around, our neighbors are probably not too smart. Also, who buries a bag of holding?
Actually, your Vexes and Allays can be very sneaky. So it's not because of the neighbor's being dumb, it's because of our minions who are ninjas.

Also, what makes you think that the bag was put there with the previous owner's knowledge? ;)
 
Man, if those talking dogs don't come out with like, a megazord or something, I think we're gonna have to deal with ruling the city for the rest of the quest. We win.

Hmmm... I've checked for the first episode of Mighty Pups, and it takes place in season 5. Since this takes place during the start of season 4, I might be willing to give the Paw Patrol an early Mighty Pups episode if they roll well enough on the Rumor Mill.
 
Say @Duke William of are you willing to do a villains victorious world if we keep wining against paws patrol
No, not really. That seems like a bit too much work, honestly, and Paw Patrol is one of the only shows I have actual knowledge on. :V

Alternatively, I can bring in OC's from the depths of the Paw Patrol fics I once read, as well as give the Mighty Pups an early entry into the series.
 
Quick question: since I just assume we'll lose at some point, what happens to our dragon? Does he die? Go to magic jail? Banished back to the shadow realm?
If you do lose (which'll not be in the near future considering dragon), the dragon, along with the allays and vexes, will scatter to the wind before returning to free you from whatever you are imprisoned in.
 
@Duke William of

Hey you know how you said that we had a chance to do a villain song? If we manage to get a big win against the Paw Patrol can we sing this at them during or after the fight?

It even fits with the magician theme!

This is my first time listening, and I really like it. :) However, the Paw Patrol creators in-questverse would need to get permission to do a song similar to this since this was made by Disney. :V So... I don't know, we'll see.

I'll admit I'm so sure the "boss and assistant" vibe really works or is necessary given how confident Johanna is. When I first proposed it, I was I was thinking alot along the Scarface/Ventriloquist dynamic where the Ventriloquist is incredibly meek and (from a pseudo-psychological standpoint) kind of needs Scarface to really function as a credible threat.

Take Scarface away and The Ventriloquist is just an awkward guy with no spine. Take Presto away and I get the impression Johanna would be just fine until her magical buddies break her out of jail. If her magical buddies were sealed away she'd likely be resourceful enough to break them out while Arnold Wesker would just be helpless and lost until Scarface resurfaced.

So ... I kinda propose that Johanna and Presto both share top billing with their schemes. Since they are ready to make their supervillain debut (with a dragon no less) then Johanna can stop calling him "Boss" and start calling him "Friend".



If Johanna does have a villainous flaw, perhaps it's less "being so shy she needs a puppet to speak for her" and more a case of pride? She thinks that having magic means she's automatically awesome and can do whatever she wants. Then having Presto literally by her side complementing her brilliance and magical aptitude just kind of reinforces how great she is and doesn't need to make human friends?

Ah, like Penn and Teller. :) That seems possible, and I can make it a point in the update to show that Presto and Johanna have worked out that maybe it's better if they have an "equal partners" dynamic instead.

I think I'll keep her shyness and want to make human friends, but I can definitely put in the arrogance flaw. It pretty much writes itself with the decisions you've all made for Johanna.

Edit: I also do plan for the "possibly neglectful parents" story thread to go somewhere.
