Arthur Crackpot posted:If it is John's dreambubble, and if Jack is indeed incapable of killing people within bubbles, then the awkwardness of this encounter is going to be delicious. John's dreaming, not dead. If he gets stabbed, he'll just wake up again and disappear from the bubble, same as when he met Meenah and Roxy. Technique posted:I think it really depends on how much time and effort you put into the stabs. Time is something Jack doesn't have right now. He's trying to hide, remember?

Bobulus posted:Welp. Treestuck guessed the Godtier Jade via Jadesprite thing ahead of time. To be fair this was never a difficult prediction to make considering John and Jade had a lengthy conversation about the possibility, and Hussie appearing in the Scratch section with the Hero of Space god-tier hoodie was another unsubtle clue. She's still going to get a kick out of God-tier Jade being part dog, as well as Rose and Dave's surprise god-tiers. Anyway hurry up Hussie John's in angsty teenager mode and eager to relive his Corpse Cassanova makeout scene, apparently. Man, that would be super awkward if this is in fact the same dream bubble everyone else is in and Rose actually shows up in that scene too.

Poor Jack. He finds a Dream Bubble full of interesting, colorful people -- and they're all already stabbed. Where's the fun in that?

People were speculating earlier about a Something Awful troll to go along with the Tumblr and 4chan ones. Then while reading some slightly long-winded theorizing about Sburb mechanics I realised that we pretty much already have our troll, at least as far as this thread is concerned - Aranea  .

So, having just now played the walkaround, it seems funny that the clowns have the swapcophagus. You know, seeing as how Calliope is the instrumental to the downfall of their Dark Carnival.

Anyway, I really wonder what we're going to see in this dream bubble, assuming it's John. I really hope it'll be a window into John's feelings about the death of his dad and about Bec Noir, considering how often we've talked about John's lack of reaction. Smart money is he's been suppressing a lot of terrible poo poo for a very long time, so seeing a bit of his dreams might reveal what he's really thinking.

Jack is going to start pretending to get along with John in front of PM in order to convince her they're friends now and he turned over a new leaf, but John keeps shouting and trying to attack him because he's still really pissed off about everything and eventually Jack will snap and stab him.

Maybe I missed an obvious explanation, but how does Meenah plan to actually get out of her dream bubble to be able to fight LE? What with being dead and all.Bongo Bill posted:This does, however, imply the existence of a beta Jade from the same timeline as beta John, assuming she died before Dave reversed. With all the exposition there's been on how U2 (our universe) and B1 (our session) are temporally unrelated in exactly the same way that A2 is dissociated from B1, I thought it was pretty obvious that a choice inside B1 that creates a beta timeline would apply only to the session, not to our universe, in the same way that there is no beta Terezi who saw John make the "wrong" choice by taking her advice.

Maybe they'll need someone who can exist as both a ghost in the inside of the bubbles and as a living being outside of them, in order to act as a bridge between the two. Say, for example, Sollux. Or maybe as a theif of life, she can revive herself by absorbing the essence of existing living characters. SORRY CHESS PEOPLE, I KNOW ROXY SAVED ALL YOUR LIVES BUT NOW YOU DIE SO THAT I MAY LIVE

Then again a scene where she makes it back to her house and it's filled with the dessicated corpses of the only family she's ever known might make for powerful imagery.

Is there supposed to be a rule that she can't? It's not like the dream bubbles are a naturally-occurring part of the afterlife, the horrorterrors created them because Feferi asked them to. That would imply that before that player ghosts were just floating around out there in the Furthest Ring. (Assuming that there was a "before that", which isn't guaranteed what with time being all screwy out there.)

I assume that regular dreamers and ghosts would be bound by the same rule (people who are physically present in the Furthest Ring can move in and out freely, of course.)

Not sure, but I remember Aradia was particularly surprised when half-dead Sollux was able to leave the bubble. Does leaving the bubble mean that you can come back to life or something? Oh god, this is going to be like a new Death's door isn't it?
