And honestly, Condy's not retarded. This probably means she's got both codes now. But does she have a way to alchemize the codes?

See, here's my question. Jane can probably guess Caliborn's code and copy his juju, but would it really be his juju? To claim a juju for your own, you either need to be properly given the juju as a gift, or forcefully take it from the previous owner. I'm not sure that Jake properly gave Jane ownership of Caliborn's juju if he didn't give her the code. Paradox space might be a literalist rear end in a top hat about poo poo like this.

I'm not sure that Jake properly gave Jane ownership of Caliborn's juju if he didn't give her the code. Cal's history would suggest otherwise. Rose threw it out of Dream Dave's bedroom, John found it lying around in the ectobiology lab, Jack tossed it at Aradiabot who was hit by a meteor and it ended up with Kanaya, Gamzee nicked it from Kanaya at some unspecified point in time, Dirk accidentally dropped it in the ocean where Gamzee uncovered it and tossed it to Caliborn...

Poor Condy just wanted to talk and see if Jane would be more receptive to helping her with her errand than Roxy, but nooooo, Jane has to go and sulk because everyone she likes is dead or stupid or isolated. Jeez Jane, think of someone other than yourself for once! It must be incredibly painful to have a font that gaudy projected right into your brain though.

I wouldn't be so sure, not until we see these rules in action more explicitly than we have - they really weren't explained in that much detail. The wording of what we've heard so far kind of sort of suggests that jujus that are given away are available only to the intended recipient, but is more than vague enough that this might not be the case. The all-important gift accidentally given to the wrong person is a classic, after all. There's no guarantee that Jane won't be the one to make it either, of course.

Bobulus posted:I... did not. Huh. That's really weird. Ha ha ha.....ah, you think that's weird. The Gift of Man isn't mortality so much as it's freedom from the Samsara like cycle of suffering and attachment that other races are subject to. Elves, live forever or die, are tied to the world and it's problems until it ends. Humans all die, and pretty quick, but they move on. Relatedly they are also free from the bounds of Ainulindalë, the music of the angels that defines all of reality on Earth. All other beings, by and large, live in harmony with it...but also can't act outside it. Man is free to do, or tell screw, this fundamental aspect of reality at will. Those two things combined define the point of human existence, as they can go beyond the confines of the Earth and it's troubles [literally and metaphysically] and compose their own 'music' [Destiny], ultimately maturing to the point where they can help spread Eru Ilúvatar's [God's] perfect song throughout all of existence on their own. I don't even think that's the weirdest loving part of the whole Middle-Earth setting I can remember, and it's one of the reasons I have not, for even a second, ever found Homestuck slightly large or complicated or filled with plot twists. Because man is there some crazy rear end fiction already out there, just lurking under the skin of things you thought you knew, and more specifically Tolkien was a loving wild man for going balls deep into his setting.

Oh gently caress yes is it time for Tolkienchat? How about the War of Wrath, when an entire continent was destroyed and a dead dragon landed on, and crushed three loving mountains? Or when humans sailed on Valinor [The West/Heaven] and the world itself was changed from flat to round to prevent it from ever happening again?

The reason I still have high hopes for the rest of the Hobbit trilogy is I'm holding out hope that they work in as much of the crazy poo poo about the wizards that used to just be in the appendix as they can.

How would the Condesce even get the juju? After all, you need an alchemiter.

John's alchemiter was used by Imps of all things just waltzing in and playing with it early on in his adventure. I'm sure the Condesce, with her various crafty Derseian agents and omnipotent cat with the ability to teleport anywhere, could find a way to get it done behind the backs of some seriously distracted teenagers.

Sauron was unfathomably weaker than Morgoth but met with greater success because he was content with oppressing people rather than pouring his essence into the very matter of the world in order to make it his.siotle posted:How would the Condesce even get the juju? After all, you need an alchemiter. Derse has already used alchemized products. In that case, CD sneaked into one of their houses and used the alchemiter.

JT Jag posted:Sauron had a pretty simple plan and stuck to it. Create a phylactery that can't be destroyed by mundane means, store just enough of your soul in it that you can't die if it still exists yet if you're in good health and the phylactery is destroyed you'll still survive, spread a ton of lesser artifacts which serve the phylactery who will force anyone who possesses them to be influenced by him over time, gain territory, control poo poo. So basically, Voldemort.

No, Voldemort is the bitch version of Sauron. If you're going to compare the two on that point then it boils down to: Sauron getting a PHD is loving poo poo up, and Voldemort skimming the chapter titles of the "For Dummies..." manual.

I kinda want HIC to be desperately trying to be in cahoots with the kids right now to counter Lord English, but she's just too her for anyone to listen to her. I mean, I know in reality she's going to be totes evil, but I would just amused if she's just really bad at expressing herself.

Personally I feel that an excess of dance clowns worked to the detriment of the secret jam. Condy really ought to let the sparkle speak for itself. Might be less likely to put the potential secret jam-peruser off and encourage engagement.
