drat. You guys beat me to the little insights I spotted. I was sure no one else would get LOMAX  Playing this thing on a smartphone screen is hella difficult.

Some stuff about Nobles: Noble gases have special properties because of 8 electrons in the outer shell. If they would be referred to with noble titles by their consorts, that would make Jake Lord English.

Whoo, lots of good foreshadowing here. I guess uu and UU are each others' dreamselves, or at least that's what we're meant to guess, right?

Or rather, they are each other and they are each other's dreamself at the same time. There is one of them and they share the same body, I am guessing. One falls asleep, the other awakes.

Holy crap this flash is awesome but I'm dumb as hell. Can anyone help? Do I have to rotate the lights so they bounce off all the mirrors, or am I missing something a lot more obvious?

So, wait, I think I missed something in the flash: Is there a way to do anything with the big hole your house sunk into? I tried all four lantern rotations, and had no luck. Got the four skulls and unlocked the door and stuff. I wonder if we have things backwards. We've been assuming that Jake having all the Lord English gear and title and stuff is a reference to LE being in this session. Ditto the SBURB poster with LE on it. But what if Lord English is actually going to be created using that gear / named because he's created by Jake? As in, this is the universe where he is first created (as opposed to Alternia, where he was just summoned), and the reason Doc Scratch worked so hard to create this session is to create LE in the first place. Hussie has a thing for creation myths.

It wouldn't be unprecedented, since Sollux had that, too.

Ughhhh. I have always been poo poo at games like Myst so this flash was especially difficult for me I can't even imagine going through this thing and not having a forum or something to consult for help. Sweet ending, though! Oh god Jake is totally dead now isn't he

My crazy uu/UU prediction: They used to be one schizophrenic troll or something, then their realself died, and they both woke up as separate dreamselves on Prospit and Derse, but only one is awake at a time, and they're both eachother's clients and servers.

^ But they're sharing a room, so there must be some form of interaction besides texting.Blood Nightmaster posted:Oh god Jake is totally dead now isn't he Nah, that's the fakeout. But I'm pretty sure the lights refer to the dreamselves, since Jake's died early, and then Jane's died and came back, just as the text by the lights mentions that the blue light flickered and came back. It does imply that only Jane's dreamself will survive of the four in the same text, though...

I thought the reason uu messed up her room was because he was now her server player(as UU wanted to contact more linearly, I assumed she was playing now too as she was talking to Jane now), and messing up your client's room is just what server players do. I completely missed any Jekyll/Hyde implications due to having that simplistic explaination in mind. Hmmmmm.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. Especially given that Jake has some unresolved stuff still. He hasn't sent the rabbit yet - though I suppose conceivably somebody else could flip the switch - and there's the whole thing about the huge object in his inventory, and those prophecies seem to say all the nobles will arrive, and we've seen him in one of Jane's clouds watching the volcano erupt without his skulltop on, which as of this pesterlog is still only about to happen, so... he may or may not be out cold and his computer is toast, but don't count him out yet.

I had a problem where the text would get cut off in Firefox - I had to zoom out (ctrl -) a bit. Other than that, a pretty nice atmospheric flash, though I'm not a huge fan of Myst-style puzzles. Roxy's pesterlog was hilarious as usual.

So if Roxy's planet is the Land of Pyramids and Neon - does that mean it'll be full of Egyptian-style nightclubs and bars for her to get her drink on?

Wow. I had not gotten the Lomax reference. That made me laugh. Amazing flash. That's all I can really say. Some pretty interesting lore too. Also, from the album, WV: Become Mayor of Can Town is probably my favorite. Doesn't really fit WV's personality but pretty cool tune.

sitchelin posted:I'm completely lost. I've found 4 skulls, accessed the mausoleum, and now I don't know where the gently caress I'm supposed to go. Here's a series of progressively more spoilerly spoilers: - You may have noticed that when you took the skull from the mausoleum, it activated a panel with three skull slots... - You need to get the skulls into those slots. The slots are in the place with the drawing of the 4th Wall. - But opening the door turns off the panel. If only there was a way to close the door after you leave... - 1. Go into the place in the masoleum where you got the skull. Weight down the trigger with the cake. Leave. The scarab beetles will eat the cake, removing the weight and closing the door, permanently. 2. Go to the skull slot, put in the three skulls that you didn't use to activate the lights. 3. Proceed through the door edit: drat it, a minute slow!
