So, Oxxxidation, I'm curious. What do you think of these trickster shenanigans so far, now that we have some idea of what the deal is?

She just gave up the opportunity to get a prisoner back. Not just any prisoner, either, a loving PLAYER.

She's just as freaked out as everyone else.
Ehhhh... keep in mind she gave Roxy the ring that helped her escape. I don't really think HIC cares that Roxy is on the lamb.

Ugh for some reason I thought it was inside the folder.
I dunno I still get the feeling HIC just doesn't care. I guess the only proof I could have is whatever's written inside HIC's folder. It's probably something Roxy could only do if she was able to leave prison.

I'm betting that she didn't and that she's just going WELP and washing her hands of the entire affair as she gets back onto her spaceship and ollies outie back into space forever.

Are you sure about this? Based off 7464 (where DD states Roxy is out of his jurisdiction and something he's gonna leave alone) and 7471 (Where HIC demands the ring back - presumably to give to CD to deliver to Roxy) it doesn't look like he had anything to do with it. Or am I misreading this? Did DD respond to the order to give back the ring by giving it to Roxy instead?

It's currently unclear.

1) Because the ring has no actual effect on HIC, DD could easily have given her back a fake.
2) We never actually see DD returning the ring.
3) The ring was given to Roxy separately from HIC's briefing, whereas if HIC had given it to her you would expect it to have been given with the briefing.

Unless Condy knew Roxy wouldn't accept the ring if she thought it was from her! It really could go either way though.

That's why I said it's currently unclear. There are reasons to believe either case.

I made a Trickster outfit out of stuff I already had, mostly because someone in YLLS called this dress/tights combo "like an icecream, in a good way."



Now it is ice cream in a bad way, and I've had that green skull for years, way before I even heard of Homestuck.

That's nice and all, very nice in fact, but I need to know where to get that skull at your earliest convenience.

You need to borrow some pool balls to stick in the skull's eye sockets.

And a golden fang. (Or a candy corn.)

Funnily enough, I was in the automotive section of a store recently and I noticed they had a hell of a lot of skull accessories, mostly shift stick knobs.. And every one of them was green and only green in color. :tinfoil:

And if that doesn't float your boat, you have a regular gun too.

I wonder how long until Roxy remembers she's intangable and capable of flight. Unless revived dreamselves can't fly? Either way she can just pass through the floor Kitty Pride style.

Using a portal gun's going to do rather a lot worse than not using one in this situation. They'd be able to see the portals and figure out from there where she went.

I was gonna say Sollux flew after his corpsesmooch revival, but oh right he was able to fly beforehand. I think all the other revived players have been... gravity-attached? Yeah, that's a good word for it.

This is Dave we're talking about. He wouldn't have needed flight either way.
