Seemed pretty clear that Jade knew where the others were and what they were doing at the moment, so I don't see why PM wouldn't since they both have Bec powers.
I'm guessing Jade does because she has Space powers and PM's ability might have more to do with the role of being a Prospitan Monarch with long-range planning.

That would be sweet and something I hadn't even considered. I thought it would have more to do with WV's ability to unite people from the two moons, even in the midst of war. Maybe it can be both?

If the popular theory that B2 characters are populated from B1's reckoning, then it might not be absolutely mandatory that B2's reckoning happens in the first place?

Let's get this straight. Health gushers would be some kind of potion at most, troll blood masquerading as a children's snack at the least. What do we know about phoenix downs? They look like feathers. Golden feathers. Which character has golden feathers? Davesprite, who's also been shown with injuries that look like he should be dead by now, but he can't die because his feathers keep bringing him back to life.

If that's not two minutes of pure silence I'm going to be very disappointed.

And they're off. PM is still watching, evidently; I wonder if/when she'll catch up. Surely if Jack is meant to end up chasing the meteor she won't just come up as Aradia is holding him in place and run him through right there... possibly there'll be some shenanigans and she'll be the help Rose is expecting?

Is supposed to represent the 4 kids meeting up, you have John's piano, Rose's violin, Jade's flute (yeah I know she plays bass shut up), and Dave's sick beatz. I suppose after 3 years it would hold enough emotional weight to warrant a song like this.

I don't think Karkat's blood powers are going to be able to save WV. Remember, he's a Knight class, which, as Aradia just mentioned, is a combat-oriented role. Maybe a Slyph or Bard could be considered a support class?

Somehow I doubt Dave has the same time abilities Aradia has. He more likely would use time to do something like have 20 Daves attack Jack at once.

Just throwing Daves at him until they stop dying. Letting those dead Daves pile up.

But maybe the class doesn't matter as much as I'm imagining here.

I made a Homestuck song with the same basic concept last spring. Not that I'm accusing you of anything ;) The violin hits a few sour notes here and there. If I were you I'd add more instruments--just because the primary instruments are supposed to be the kid's instruments doesn't mean they have to be the only instruments in the song. Because of that the song doesn't seem to have much variation. Working in Jade's bass somewhere would give the song a framework and also give the piano something more to do. And if you want to learn more about how music works I'd suggest http://www.musictheory.net. Also one cool thing you could do with the violin and the flute would be to have one playing a melody and another playing a countermelody and have them trade places...

Also, as a Gristmas present, I present to the thread a potential start to my Lord English strife theme:

I wanted to do a slow build-up for the beginning until the action starts, which will be in the next section (yes, I'm planning on making this a long one). There are lots of dissonant chords here that were very fun to make... okay not all of them are dissonant on purpose but I'll fix that later. What I have planned so far is for the next section to develop a tense, action-oriented remix/arrangement of my Lord English theme, and for the section after that to involve all the surviving characters' leitmotifs (like in Rex Duodecem Angelus), followed by a finale.

Okay basically thanks for all those links and poo poo, I definitely have to check some of them out. I've always wanted to take a music theory course, but we need at least 15 people to sign up for it to become a class and people aren't that interested. I rally for it each year anyway. :(

Anyway back to Homestuckchat: I don't think how long the time lock lasts really matters, they just need to slow him down just a little, then match his speed so he can never catch up. I doubt he'd want to trail a meteor for three years, so maybe he'll run back to PM for some prime hatelove.

(And then PM kills him)

Actually the idea of an omnipotent Jack doing whatever he pleases for 3 years would seem a catastrophic derailment of the plot if not for the fact that he's in the middle of loving nowhere and can't conceivably affect anything for that length of time.

Generally, in games, when you freeze something in time you make it immune to damage. Being able to be hurt generally requires that time flows in such a way that causality isn't casually obliterated.
