Jane's Crocker-Controlled outfit looks way better than the Life godtier colors. Also, poor Jake! He's just so dismayed.

But anyway woaaah, that's something. I think there was some talk waaay back about Condy doing exactly this? But then people were like 'no that's stupid', unless maybe noone said that and I made it up? I'm not sure.

OK, now it makes sense why LE let all of the kids go God-tier. A perma-mind controlled Jade and Jane would be very, very handy for future schemes.

Well.

This update was a thick slab of unadulterated "OH gently caress."

Edit: Okay, so let's recap.

1. HIC is currently mind controlling a Life player and Jade, who is easily the most powerful player to date.
2. Dirk, the deadliest of this session's players, and Caliborn's avatar have been teleported into the Furthest Ring.
3. The remaining kids are about to get their poo poo pushed in.

This is a straight up insurrection. The Condesce has been waiting for her chance to buck Lord English, and this is it.

Quick sum-up of the Condesce's powers.

Can extend anyone's lifespan indefinitely.
Psiionic/Sollux-level eye beam psychic powers.
Handmaid/Aradia-level moving stuff psychic powers.
She can mind-control the following characters: GCat, Bec Noir, Bec PM, Jade, Kanaya, Karkat, Gamzee, Terezi (dunno if Aradia and Sollux get out of this by virtue of range or God Tier but it doesn't matter much with them so far away), ad any dersite or prospitian.
And whatever the gently caress else Lord English powered her up with.

Actually, HIC seems more interested in Roxy and Jake. Jake, presumably, because LE wants to fight him. Roxy, I'm guessing, as part of her 'get out from under LE's thumb' plans.

John, now would be a pretty good time to show up and stop the Batterwitch from mind-controlling your sister.

Dave, Rose? Either of you two want to park that meteor anytime soon would be kind of nice, too.

HIC doesn't gently caress around. Interesting that she apparently has a use for all of them except Dirk though, and even then wanted him alive.

It was reasonable at the time, 'cause the line of thought was "okay, she can use Tavros powers to take over her dog parts, but Jade's not all dog." We didn't count on her using Vriska powers to knock Jade's human parts unconscious before controlling the dog parts.

So, she could've had Jade shove Dirk's head up his rear end to tonsil depth, but she chose to bounce him to the Furthest Ring instead. She trying to send him to meet up with the meteor? Put him near a bubble? Just keep his Cool rear end out of the way for a while while she works?

Teen drama is still what got us into this whole mess, if you think about it.

If not for all the drama, Caliborn would have had no reason to give Jake the code for his Juju, so Trickster never would have happened, so the kids wouldn't have been in the crypts, so they would never have ascended, and thus would have died when the moons were destroyed.


It's simple, really!

Honestly, Jane has really lovely luck about being controlled. How long would that have been between Trickster Mode wearing off and this? Like, a few minutes?
