The Warriors think that house sitting for Omnibus is boring work.


  • Collector of the Strange: Omnibus' house is packed with antique wares and he frequently goes shopping for more.
  • The Dragon: Jest-O is this for the Taunting Jester magisword since the magisword can't move on its own. Once the magisword is defeated, Jest-O nonchalantly thanks the Warriors and leaves.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Oddly enough, the Taunting Jester magisword acts like one, voice and all.
  • Fanservice: The Taunting Jester magisword tricks the Warriors into getting in their bathing suits and taking a dip in a bathtub full of jello.
  • Fighting Your Friend: The Warriors are tricked by the Taunting Jester magisword into dueling each other, destroying Omnibus' house in the process.
  • Living Statue: The ending implies Jest-O may be one, as he mysteriously leaves once the Taunting Jester magisword is defeated and Omnibus later reveals he has a statue named Jest-O that he has no idea where it came from.
  • Mind Control: The Taunting Jester magisword can "persuade" people into doing ridiculous things for its amusement.
  • Mirthless Laughter: Knowing that there is no possible way to clean up the mess they made before Omnibus returns, all Proyhas and Vambre can do is laugh hysterically.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The title card is based on the cover for The Cat in the Hat.
    • Jest-O's voice is based on comedian Phil Silvers.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When it turns out that Omnibus had purchased replacements of all his possessions while he was out after Prohyas and Vambre confess to failing their task in watching over his stuff, Vambre asks if this means they still get paid. Omnibus answers no, since their job was to watch over his belongings and they neglected to do exactly that.
  • Villainous Harlequin: Not so much Jest-O, but the Taunting Jester magisword, which is controlling him and the Warriors into causing mayhem.
