Come to think of it, we don't know if there's an off-switch for Trickster Mode. Rose didn't stop being grimdark when she died, she just switched to her dreamself. ...Can tricksters God-Tier?

I wish he had made them all a different race so we'd have a politically correct group of hero kids ala Captain Planet.

They're going to go to Dirk and Jake will tell him "I THINK YOU'RE A CLINGY SHITLORD" and turn him trickster. Since there's nothing anyone is really going to reveal on Roxy she will probably stay hidden and freak the gently caress out and be left to hope that all the people coming into the session can help her with...this. This is my Homestuck Theory Of The Moment. That, or Fefeta will calm all of them down.

Speaking of Fefeta, I have to assume )(IC as referring to her as the one with important royal duties. Because I can't imagine her planning somefin like this. Fake Edit: Halfway through typing this I realized this is in fact exactly her style.

I meant more that the actual grey skin festertongue seemed to be restricted to her original body, but it didn't wear off when she died- she was still grey and grimdark when John gave the revival kiss.

All of the boring exposition prior to this was just for the establishment of what is normal for these four so when they all lose their minds the contrast is stark.

That quote of Roxy saying something about dieing being hell of a way to sober up becomes relevant here.

I kind of want it to cut here to show us see what the Beta kids are doing for a while, then when they arrive we get to see the terrifying aftermath. The problem with all insanity all the time is that there's a good chance the lack of normality will make this stop being funny pretty fast. But then, I'm not sure I can even fathom how deep this rabbit hole of technicolour insanity goes.

So trickster mode turbocharges your powers. Jane unleashed a burst of lifey-stuff that turned half of her planet into a lush vibrant forest. What's gonna happen when jake unleashes a burst of hope? maybe something he really really wanted and believed will come much more true for him since hope powers seem to be all about wishful thinking. And dirk - he unleashes a burst of heart? It seems like roxy would be a good one to get this power, because her burst of void would be exactly what calliope wanted. In fact, i wouldn't be surprised if everything trickster related up until now wasn't just part of a long game of getting roxy to lick the lollypop, as once she goes trickster nobody will ever find the B2 session again and calliope can hide there in safety. Calliope did draw that picture of roxy with the juju, so it's not like the idea never crossed her mind. Weirdly enough though, roxy appears to be the one person who doesn't look like they will end up going trickster mode because she's hidden and nobody can find her - once she starts getting stalked by three trickster nightmares it will be horrorstuck all over again.

By the time the meteor arrives everyone except Roxy and HIC will be infected with the Trickster Virus. It will be beautiful and terrible.

My prediction is that they won't be able to find Roxy, since none of them paid any attention to her messages that she was on Derse. And then she'll be jealous she never got Trickstered.

Jane wisely disposed of her computer after it tried to gently caress with her head, and Dirk was unable to read the message because his sociopathic AI screened his calls.

Trying to predict what's going to happen here is like trying to predict a Bugs Bunny cartoon - even if you can, it's less fun to try. This act is behind a purple curtain; the comic itself is in Trickster Mode. It will defy all expectations and conventions until it's done (the only thing we can be certain of is that it is it will end, probably with something extremely dissonant).

It's weird how, now that we're in Trickster mode, the story has almost become like an activity book for kids. Line up Jane with the dotted line, search for clues, etc. Highlights for Kids and Fun.

I'm suspecting the three tricksters will end up cornering Roxy on the backup Derse questbed, then something loving incredible will happen.
