Is the Thirteen of Stars a tarot card or anything? I know nothing about tarot cards.

Also, let's all give a hand to Slick, the only person to ever set the inside of a sun on fire.

Stars is unfortunately not a Tarot suit. The Stars (or Star) is a Major Arcana card, but it's number XVII (17).

It's 13 because it's Biscuits and Stars because....I have no idea.

Because leprechauns. :downs:

Well to be fair, the Pentacles suit usually depicts stars or circles. As for the thirteen though, the thirteenth card in that suit would be the Queen, so there's probably nothing deeper here than just "Leprechauns"

The thirteenth card in the major arcana is Death, which can represent ends and transitions/changes. We're coming up on the end of a year, the end of a chapter, and the end of who knows what else.

Stars is one of those failed attempts at adding a fifth suit to cards.

The only other notable one was called 'the green suit'.

Casual arson is how Slick says goodbye, hello, and "may I please have a glass of water," the last of which is kind of self-fulfilling.

What are the odds that Jack thinks that other Jack is Lord English? I mean, he doesn't have the garish-rear end coat or anything, but he does have the eyes. And that's why this is jackpot.
