That's a pretty neat power to have.

I wasn't expecting to see Rose there! Since she has her god tier outfit, presumably this is actually her and not some memory projection. I guess Jack might take off again while John is distracted talking to her, or something.

Wait, I know nothing bad will actually happen, but, Rose is in very real danger here isn't she? I mean unless she's dreaming, but if she's there because the meteor is passing through the dream bubble she is very very susceptible to Jack's stabbing tendencies.

e: v Oh right, forgot about that. Still if Rose is here, then so is everyone else...

It'd be pretty hilarious if the meteor was actually there and Jack was right in its path. Carapace roadkill.

Jack and PM are flying in the wake of the meteor, they can't catch up because they can only go as fast as the meteor, not faster.

Rose is likely sleeping.

Jack flew into the dream bubble, and PM followed him. It's very possible that they got off course and that they're now in the meteor's path. (Because furthest ring is weird etc etc blah blah blah)

EDIT: Actually...it looks like she's sitting right there on the meteor. Or something. Maybe it's just a gray chunk of rock.

God, I'm really kind of dreading Homestuck becoming popular in the mainstream and being really widely known. It's on the verge of it now, and I know it's inevitable with the game coming out, but it's just gonna be loving insufferable.

I think I've turned into an angsty hipster. At least as far as homestuck goes.

THE LIAR
The Dark Gods are gonna put the meteor (and Jack and PM for that matter) where they want to, because they control how space and time work in the Furthest Ring. If they have some purpose in putting Rose (who is still buddy-buddy with them, isn't she?), John, Jack and PM in the same place, they're gonna go for it. Whether or not the meteor is ahead of Jack and PM or not has astoundingly little to do with that.

If it hit Jack it'd also hit John. I'm not sure where "hilarious" deaths rank on the just/heroic meter.

It's technically possible because time and space work really weird in the Furthest Ring. Even if you're going in a straight line it's possibly to be suddenly going the wrong away, and even possibly run into and collide with your future self. So I wouldn't be surprised if the meteor did end up behind the Dog Tiers at some point, although nobody would have noticed at the time.

I've been an angry MSPA hipster forever because I was around when Jailbreak was a thread on his weird forum. poo poo, I was around when he drew some weird clown art that eventually morphed into Whistles.

It's better this way, everyone else who likes the things you like are idiots and like it for the wrong reasons.

I am suddenly incredibly invested in the next few updates because non-crazy Rose/John conversations are some of the sweetest.

I thought Rose's god-tier Seer of Light powers (combined with her rapport with the horrorterrors) let her make a trajectory that avoided anything like that.

I don't think it matters that Rose is wearing her god tier outfit, as soon as she remembers she is in a dream she probably "becomes" her normal awake self.

But man, what if it was the meteor? And standing behind Rose are a very pissed off Karkat, Kanaya, and Terezi? Posing as a team, of course.

It's letting them get through the Furthers Ring as fast as possible and without crashing into anything, but the journey itself may still involve breaking various laws of physics over it's knee in the process.

John, feeling left-out since Jade and Davesprite got together, abandons his fight with Jack and attempts to mack on Rose, so that when he gets back he can claim to Jade that he has a girlfriend. Instead he gets abruptly "woken up" by Kanaya's chainsaw.
