Yes. She says here that Hussie just asked for "trickster Roxy" and left the design up to her, just in case anyone was a lot more serious about all the colour scheme speculation than appearances suggested.

I'm kind of afraid to ask, but where did this "trickster mode" stuff come from? Pretty sure I've never heard of it before now.

Trickster mode comes from some easter eggs in the flash minigames.

Maybe the rulebreaking UU is so apprehensive about is activating Trickster Mode, hacking the fabric of reality itself?

Pickle: Inspected.



Did anyone in the thread already speculate that UU is actually just uu's puppet (or possibly vise versa) in the same way that Cal is Dirk's puppet. This is why "juju" holds so much importance all of a sudden. uu wants Dirk to drop his juju in the same way he's about to drop UU as his juju. I haven't been keeping the juju conversation straight so I can't really guess more specifics but I bet the "2 dreams 1 real" thing is just a red herring and the body we saw was uu's puppet UU, which is dressed up in PJs just like Cal was.

Trickster mode is the exploit Spades Slick mentioned was the only way of defeating LE :supaburn:

If uu were the puppet, it'd explain his apparent total lack of dexterity: it can't be easy to manipulate a puppet hand to draw on a tablet.

That also means two things:
If only one of them can be awake at once, and if she's worried about going to sleep permanently very soon, that means Lord English is going to be waking up in this universe soon also?

Lord English's actual personality is kind of hilarious, considering. Countdown to fanart of LE drawing terrible pictures and thinking of "lewd, awful things like kisses and holding hands".

That was great. I went from "Oh, haha. She's a Krampine!" to "Oh holy gently caress" in one click of a button.

Now my brain has to sort it all out. And of course, with one answer spawns even more questions than we had before. Hussie must be cribbing notes from Coyote or something.
