readingatwork posted:Actually my theory is that he was paid to do it. The queen and LE have had two full years to dick around in their session. Getting to Derse and hiring a hitman (which he'd be more than happy to be since he HAAAAATES his boss) is no great accomplishment when you think about it. Since LE can time travel and whatnot, doesn't that mean he's had the entire lifetime of the session to dick around?

I rewatched the act 6 opening flash earlier and realized I'd completely forgotten that the mutini brick R. tosses at the window in the end-of-intermission page was actually already seen in that one. It looks more strongly like a block of ice or some other transparent encasing substance there.pumpinglemma posted:No, I think he's got explosives in the neck of the Jade's tower or something. Hussie's going to drop the ball at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. ...provided this session's version of CD didn't set them up on the wrong tower. Like the one Jake's dead corpse vacated, where Jack will decide to stand and watch the fireworks.  Probably not, but hey.

Even though I'm so involved in Homestuck and its fandom, I keep it almost completely separate from my meat life so the New Year's imagery never even occurred to me.

Nate RFB posted:I agree. Jack in particular always looks weird to me when he's not in Hussie's style. Not to piss all over the artist but the way Jack was rendered in Cascade in places was really...bad. Like random fan from the forums popping open MS Paint and drawing him with a trackball bad. The sequences with the Exiles stood out in particular, possibly because the rest of the art there was so drat good and polished.

creationist believer posted:At one point I wondered why Dersites don't climb up the chain to the moon and kill the Derse dreamers before they ever wake up. I decided that'd never happen because it'd be cheap and the game'd never allow that. I think there was a discussion about this earlier in the thread, and the consensus seemed to be that Dersites are hoping that their players will hear the whispers of the Horrorterrors and succumb to the bloodeldritch throes of the broodfester tongues, like Rose did.

Wait, why did he start with the dreamers on Prospit? You'd think that since he comes from Derse it would be easier to start with the dreamers on Derse. Unless the dreamers have already left Derse so that he can't find them?

It's almost like there is a game-like mechanic where the Dersites cannot go into or get near the Derse dreamers towers. Otherwise every single session would end prematurely when Jack or one of his subordinates or even just a bunch of mooks go up the towers and kill the sleepers. This doesn't seem to carry over to the Prospit towers, because when would a Dersite ever get to Prospit?

Don't forget that we do have a perfectly fine Jane traveling with Jade in the form of Nannasprite. Who knows how that will work out in the long run, but as it stands she's the only one of the four to have survived, in some fashion. And since all it technically takes for God Tier is some living/dreaming self dying on the Quest Slab we very well might see JaNannasprite Maid of Life. E: Also, it's entirely possible that the A1 (I think) cadavers will be used to give the A2 kids another chance. Prototyping dead bodies technically makes them alive again, and who knows whether the game will treat them as separate entities or the same people. We might end up having cross-session prototyping leading to God Tier. Radiochromatic fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Dec 31, 2011 |

Welp, it looks like the Black Queen has been replaced with the Troll Empress. And I thought the original kid's session was hosed up. And CD's lines about the new queen's "hat" are adorable.

I think this is like the Condesce had Homestuck explained to her by someone who only read it once and didn't read the persterlogs, and is attempting to use this spotty knowledge to do villainy.

So not only did the Consdesce find her way to the new universe, she also somehow managed to enter the new session before it even begun. VV I really, really like the format between MC/Derse Agent conversations.

As a fun side note, here's Hussie's note in the book on the page with the peanut allergy update:Andrew Hussie posted:I think a lot of readers have been disappointed that John's peanut allergy never had significant consequences in the story later.

So the first two kills to be confirmed are that of the Prospit dreamers? It seems odd that those two are the ones that died first considering SS and CD had to travel all the way out to Prospit to carry out the mission. I can only imagine HB and DD failed miserably. e: also, Prospit will probably ban peanuts and despise them to a level that Dersites despise Bilious Slick. So will we get delicious looking illegal contraband?

Depends on whether or not they have forensics advanced enough to figure out he was killed with peanuts.
