With this newest revelation, I'm thinking the post-scratch kids will be prototyped, and the guardians will be the players. Or I at least want that.

Well he does have a lot of books left to sign, for example: mine. By the way, is anyone who got theirs already going to post the doodle? And did the newspost announcing the books disappear with the update?


Edit:

Oops, yeah, I had both open in different tabs to compare and copied the wrong one's URL.

You mean this http://www.mspaintadventures.com/index.php?s=6&p=001982 but you're right - they are the same! Strange; I guess with the context I had beforehand that Jane was the target of assassins, I just sorta applied a more negative bent to the sound this time. Interesting.

Yeah, a good one at that, AND a callback (sorta?) to the *CROCKER!* explosion of the Betty Crocker factory.

Maybe dying before game entry and being a robot for a bit is just standard practice for Maids.

We already know Jane is awake on Prospit. I bet that she will awaken inside the session. What this means in terms of prototyping and her planet... that is a good question.

Yeah I saw the mailbox blowing up coming, though I'm surprised we're already done with act 6.1. And that he's splitting up the acts again.

Going by [S]Seer: Descend, perhaps the B1 kids won't arrive until act 6.5?

Seems plausible enough. Would be cool if we got brief capsule versions of each of the first 5 acts, although mostly I'm hoping we get ACT 6 ACT 5 ACT 1 and ACT 6 ACT 5 ACT 2 just for the sheer absurdity of it.

These are adorable. I guess they're all John. Do the Problem Sleuth books have the same doodle or is it a PS doodle?

Is that everything you have?

I'm guessing this is going to involve some sort of Faustian bargain with the Batterwitch (of Life) to bring her back. Who will turn out to be Feferi, due to the Scratched Session not creating Bec Noir (due to there being no Bec), which in turn means Bec Noir doesn't gently caress up the troll's session in this divergent, scratched timeline, which furthermore means that they were able to walk through their doorway to the Betaverse Earth Universe after they won.

If any of this actually proves accurate I'll be gobsmacked.

Maybe it's gonna jump forward to the scratched kids in a doomed timeline like after John flew off and got owned by the Denizen

Also it ain't over until it's DEAD

So Jake's dreamself is dead before the game, Jane's real-self is dead before the game. At this rate, Beta-Bro will have never actually existed and Beta-Mom will exist at all points in time, forever.

Well, come on, heroes of EVERYTHING die early by those standards. The only characters who've never died in this comic are Gamzee, Karkat, Terezi, Jade and the other three reset kids. That's if you don't assume dreamself deaths count, a stipulation which, levied, says that everyone but kidMom and kidBro has died at least once!

e: so, to codify it, I guess heroes of Blood, Mind and Rage don't die early. :o)

Maybe bro send the bomb so he could captachologe her brain for... some strange purpose??? :tinfoil:

I wonder if the smooch to bring people back to 'life' as their dream self will work, and whoever's Jane's server player will have to deal with her being dead/robot in her house.

Hopefully Dad will have some cool purpose, and maybe a fatherly smooch on the forehead will bring her back to life. :unsmith:

Though maybe this will mean more Kid mom and then ... yay kidmom!
