Commentary
In context, this shouldn't be a spooky thing for the unicorn to do. This clearly just means Arthur and his minions were manifestations of the shared dream, and not representations of people who are sharing in the dream.
Still spooky, though.
This unicorn is a lot like my cat in that how huge they look is largely dependent on who or what they're being compared to.
Like, next to Rhoda, he looks HUGE, but next to a domesticated horse? Not so much.
Meanwhile, my cat looks small sometimes, but then he's being held by someone, or taking up space on a couch, and it's like WOW. THAT'S A BIG CAT.
Speaking of horses, I've been told that the enormous, commonly known domesticated horses are a result of HUMAN MEDDLING, and wild horses would naturally be closer to this guy, who definitely has NOT been domesticated.
Have I mentioned that, in RPG terms, I think I have a high Luck stat when it comes to stuff like this?

At least we know now it wasn't the "real" Arthur..... I wonder if DLC Tensided is still around?

A hummingbird the size of a hummingbird can be rather problematic under the wrong circumstances. Just sayin', so y'know, y'know.

My first reaction to Dee El Sea remaining was to think, "What the heck kind of dream would this be for him!?!" Turns out, it's just a slightly odd work dream. Well, up until this bit.

For what it's worth, on the main comic: one panel, Elliot speaking "Um, Raven's a teacher at the other high school who seemed older than old when Tedd's mother went there." I'd think that'd be enough of a re-cap for Ashley, and I'd expect Elliot to be aware enough of her situation to give it. He'd also be kind enough to his artist to do it off-panel, despite the fact that could be crammed into the background of some other panel.

I wonder if they can shapechange...

I'm fairly sure that Jay and Susan are still there. I have hopes that Grace and Catalina are still there. Tensaided still being there would be intriguing. But ATM I can only be sure that the Night Stallion and Rhoda are still there. *Eagerly awaits the next comic for more data*

Now that is a proper YEET!

Susan knows enough to expect the hero of magic to be recognizable. (https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/parable-139)

Susan is "sort of" Lucid, in that she thinks she's a video game protagonist who knows she's a video game protagonist, but isn't quite lucid enough to go "...wait, what?" J is the most lucid but still doesn't actually know what the heck is going on.

A flying pony is still VERY intimidating. You would normally worry about being stepped on or kicked. And you have to evade this one in three dimensions. Hell, a hummingbird the size of a golden retriever would be horrific. Flight is a big deal.

All cats are capable of doubling in size when they choose to, which they mainly use to annoy their minions.
Windscion
Nice catch.

Ooh! The unicorn casts spells with part-Uryuom Seyunolu antennae? It has the black eyes of the little alien species... Could be the other dimensional equivalents... Does this mean that on the other side of reality the Uryuom homeworld is occupied by a planet of sentient horses? :D
Windscion
Susan is lucid, and certainly knows who Rhoda is. Still, I can't blame her for wanting to see more before outing herself. Also: curious as to who remains. Dee Ell Sea/Tensaided?

Well Jack is about to have some 'splanin to do...
