Wonderful.  My big question this update is- will anyone of obvious plot significance ever get to use the ring? Knowing Hussie, probably not.

I still have a hunch that the ring will end up going to Tavros. It'd be good for his character arc, as he claims Vriska's goal away from her, and his ability is one of the few things I can actually imagine the kids using against the Condesce. I mean, it's obviously not going to actually end up with Calliope, so that's my guess.

I do think it's kind of funny that John's going, 'well I totally misjudged that last girl based off a few conversations but I can totally trust you, random girl who I mostly talked at for ten minutes, as well as your friend I've never met who is also the main villain's sister'.

Well, he does have a pretty good point: upon first hearing about the ring, Vriska wanted it for herself and Roxy wanted it for somebody else. That's a strong indicator of character right there.

My guess is the choices are to give it to Calliope or the better alternate Calliope who is badass and probably has HUGE muscles.

Nephthys posted:I didn't say it was a bad thing, I just think its an odd reaction for John to have. He got over the first mass murder she admitted to him about nigh instantly. Honestly, I think John was being diplomatic about it. I haven't read that part in a while, but to me John seemed like he was just trying to be a good listener regarding Vriska's (Fresca's) problems, as opposed to just shrugging it off. John's not dumb nor is he callous, he's just... kind of a slow burner on concepts he isn't familiar with.

Bell_ posted:Diplomatic is the right word. But regarding citrusy drinks, I think at some point he had it in his head that all trolls were that way, helped along by the belligerence from the troll kids and Her own explanation of Alternian society. The straw breaking the camel's back was meeting the other trolls and learning that with a couple exceptions they WEREN'T okay with all that stuff, and seeing how Vriska treated pretty much everyone but him and Meenah, which is nowhere near what's right in his head. And on top of that, he met her while she was in the middle of the very thing she was supposedly conflicted about doing earlier on, and making up a really bullshit justification for it that she bought into completely.

I wonder how much grist you'd get for shredding that partial matriorb. Could you make, say, ten, shred 'em, and spend the grist to old-fashioned alchemize a complete matriorb from Kanaya's code?

Bear in mind that John is also aware that his dad was cool with Alpha-Roxy, so even if they're not the same people it is a general sign-off on her I suppose.

Man, but the cubriorb there is a real crappy brink. It probably smells like rotting fruit. Yonic Symbolism posted:Call me a shitter or a shipper or whatever those kinds of people are, but I kind of feel a little sad that John now hates Vriska. On one hand I agree, but on the other I've realized that half the fun of her character is watching her swan dive into empty pools over and over and over in the earnest belief that surely this time there will be water therein. Bless her awful, withered little heart, at least she keeps trying. paranoid randroid fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Aug 25, 2013 |

Imagine something part of something large and organic (like a giant alien ovary, in this case) fused/one with part of a block of solid plastic or something.

Now, as to how raising her from the dead would work is a mystery. Would she get put back into Lord English's body, since it would technically also be hers? Would she just get a new body?

There's one easy way for the Ring of Life to get lost again, mind: someone finding the Ring of Void. Cue a bizarre farce of our heroes trying to lose the void ring again so that the life ring will show back up.

It does different things depending on whether a living or dead person wears it, or something like that. That's the most straightforward way they could appear and vanish so tidily.

That's the most straightforward way they could appear and vanish so tidily. Not debating that it's likely they could be the same ring, but it can't be powered based simply on a living/dead divide. Roxy disappeared when she wore it, but John didn't.
