This is what
Arcane Velocity was like.
There's only so much we can relate to a woman whose only facial feature is a smirk and a man whose only facial feature is a nose. Meanwhile, John and Vriska have like 10 eyes to get lost in.

No, they do to an extent. John was able to use her as a portal to the Green Sun. It's limited though because I don't think she can teleport, but I think she can still transport herself at the speed of light if she wanted.

All this needs is for the chase scene to lead into a hallway with a bunch of doors that they all run in and out of, and at some point Jaspers ends up chasing Jade instead, and John runs into a copy of himself, and Davesprite is there wishing that he weren't involved in such a corny gag, and they all crash into a wheelbarrow and LET'S SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE, oh, it is just Jaspers, who was neither wearing a mask nor actually attempting to disguise his identity.

Something just occurred to me. Is it possible that Mom and Dad are off floating around in a dream bubble?

It'd be sweet (and probably sad) if the troll meteor happened to pass through it...except that would mean another chance to see Dad that John missed. :(

I always thought that only players could pass through dreambubbles after death, but I suppose there's never been any confirmation one way or another.

It's unclear whether non-players get dream bubbles. We've seen WV dreaming once, and it was just conventional vaguely-symbolic unconsciousness. Whether that's because he's not a human or just because he's not a player is unknown.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


While we're still floating John and Vriska related stuff, I'd be quite interested if when they meet up and they admit Vriska's dead, John isn't especially perturbed. Like he just goes "Oh okay then I guess" and tries to carry on, to the point that even everyone else is a little weirded out. I could definitely see Karkat begin to get angry about how weird it is that he apparently doesn't care only to rein himself in for fear of starting something.

With how much John's been saving up his emotions I can't see us getting a real breakdown or reaction out of him short of the very climax of the story. The Vriska thing would be a good opportunity, but he's hardly been short of those.

Although if he never has such a moment it's going to be really weird for the derpy friendleader to go from beginning to end of the story having not changed or developed at all, basically being a heroic blunt instrument.

EDIT: Update! Looks like John's either going to see Rose and Dave in the bubble they're passing through or he's going to see another of the A1 ancestors.

If John ever gets to meet Lord English, it would be a perfect opportunity for him to snap.

It could also be the Vriska and Beta-John dream bubble. He just got done talking about her, and Karkat mentioned a bit ago about all of the people on the meteor seeing versions of themselves from failed timelines in the dreambubbles they've gone through.

I'd say more a reasonable approximation. Not an Equius, but an incredible simulation.
