Thundarr posted:The Handmaid technically lived far longer than anyone mortal ever had the opportunity to. I agree though that if Aradia is an agent of Lord English, she will jump at any opportunity she gets to undermine his plans. Another thing is that LE likes his tools to be older than the kids, compared to Scratch.

I think Boneless Jogger's point was that all the other trolls were already at the top of their respective echeladders and had no ability to advance w/o reaching God-tier themselves. Edit: also, while she was taunting Tavros before he resolved to fight her she mentioned powerlevelling the remainder of their session after her resurrection while he slept-so there's that too.

Captain Oblivious posted:Undoing the damage caused by a roaring inferno isn't "just moving things around", so no, it still seems perfectly doable from what we've seen of First Guardian powers. Three possibilities: 1. The. Seppucrow prototype removes the need for guts because there is a sword buried there or Prospit rings have benevolent properties as opposed to Red Miles.g 2.She tries kissing him, and their tears brings Ash back to life. 3.Either way, it will be a success, because although Jack stabbed his way through the exiles, it's still her task to bring him to justice, and she still can appoint a Wastelandic Vindicator.

If Gamzee lives to see LE or possibly even a post-scratch Scratch, any claims the villains may have on being the mirthful messiahs of prophesy might set him off again in a good way. edit: it was I who received the scalemate from blackflare, and either my Xoom and/or Tumblr has been a pain in getting that adventure online. Since it's been delayed, odds are I will have to buy some CHALK and do goofy th1ngs.

It sounds far too relaxed for the Squiddles on its cover. But something unrelated I've been thinking about-in regards to the popular theory that the ectobiology babies ride the reckoning to universes B1 & B2... Would that mean anything for the Exiles whom also rode meteors? Would it mean anything for Bec Noir?

The clones themselves might go to B1, because each universe seems connected and the whossname circumstancial spontanious bluh bluh is a huge deal in this story, to the point I'll be really surprised if B2 Jack doesn't lose an eye.

Midnight Raider posted:It was stated that Jack following the Prospit royalty was mostly a coincidence, as he was just mostly using the pod and the reckoning to avoid getting deleted in The Scratch. As he liked to stab things, and Dersites naturally hate Prospitians anyway, he took advantage of a good killing when he got it by chance. I was under the impression Jack took of so he could hitch a ride to the Trolls' session so he could destroy Bilious Slick, from Karkat's revelation.

It might still just be the Condesce and her drones out there. I'm sure if she still had brigades of Archeradicators, Threshecutioners and such that they would be sent instead of the admittedly impressive dudes rocketing in whose primary task is milking trolls for DNA. (I do think she's doing all this in her own way, with the best of intentions for Trolls now as when she was guided to make the most oppressive regime imaginable outside of 40K)

closeted republican posted:Perhaps there's something Karkat or Terezi still need to do that would facilitate LE arriving or doing something in the future? Scratch seemed to imply that Karkat and Terezi still need to be alive for something during his narration of the Vriska vs. Jack fight. The big thing is probably respond to Terezi's memo on whether to meddle with the kids. Terezi's assurance that it would be worth it and Karkat's subsequent groaning have already happened (in the future) just as Doc Scratch had a picture of John's first conversation with Karkat from Karkat's perspective. Whether there is some sinister plan designating what makes something the Alpha Timeline, the rule I've followed so far is "{Blank} is already here" -Jack is already in the session, so orchestrating the demise of the innocent would have been futile to stop him. -The Knight and Seer already communicated in a memo after the Great Undoing, so any timeline Terezi let Vriska charge towards Jack would have been a beta one. -Lord English is already here, and as much as we'd like to cheer Aradia's ancestor there was pretty much no way she was getting out of that one. Freewillchat: Doc Scratch "...the Critical Event, a confluence of thickly interwoven, aconcurrent circumstances which have been meticulously arranged by myself, influenced to a much lesser extent by you, and by an even more negligible degree, our heroes." Welp.

Pieces of Peace posted:Ouch. If John's being honest here, between "that troll girl" and doomed John's dream-date, any eventual meeting between him and Vriska is going to have major tragic potential. People talk about dream bubble breakouts occasionally, and it wouldn't surprise me as being the part of some sort of combo rave if there is a massive fight with an endboss... but I don't see it as a plot point to get her back in the game. When Jade prototyped her dead dreamself, Jadesprite was anything but happy to be pulled out of her afterlife. If Vriska's last message to John was truthful, then her afterlife with beta-John is pretty much the ideal reward she wished for all the way to being stabbed in the back, and probably then some. Either way, I don't see her being in a rush to escape it and go around kicking rear end. Alpha John still has two years to go, and I'm not sure whether he'd think much of her over those. TWENTY years later, maybe. Then again, that her death is still a serket nobody's letting him in on might lead to a reaction when he finds out the truth. Also: I look forward to when we get callbacks to the Ghostbusters 2 MMO, especially John Egbert posted:follow me so we can seize the high ground against this hideous ocean dwelling marshmallow man, and steal all of his treasure.

Dolash posted:Not much new information here though. We hear that Terezi's still guilty, and the explanation doesn't defer her guilt in a "there's nothing you could've done, it was fate" way without blaming her either. Very even-handed. I'd still like to hear more about what happened with Aranea and why she's here now though, we've yet to hear why she's chosen to show herself. As to why she's chosen now to show herself, they are probably in tune with her role as a Hero of Light (probably Seer) determining the best path towards the future of her race. edit: inserted the word "previously" without which these words wouldn't have made much sense.

Nate RFB posted:Karkat really needs to have a serious discussion with Terezi at some point, it definitely seems from this Aranea conversation she'd be pretty introspective about this kind of stuff after all. I think he tried to, but I think it was a subject Terezi was trying to avoid thinking about too much at the time. She likes games and fun, which is why she preferred to stay in Can Town. When she does think about serious issues, she's does so away from Karkat and Dave-both are self-centered and not that much help.

Bongo Bill posted:He'd be (all together now) already here. It would just be prudent to check in with all four of them as early as time travel allows, rather than allow Gamzee to run amok. So there must be some reason it's happened this way despite the presence of a more experienced, benevolent, and prepared Time hero. We just don't know what it is yet. The B1 kids had a really, really long day. And they're experiencing three really long years in the intermissions. That's no reason they can't start appearing over the course of Dirk, Roxy and Jake entering the Medium this Act, even if we don't see them until later. The intermissions can still cover the next two years as a source of exposition (and more importantly, hilarity) while allowing the battlefield and four additional planets to arrive. (even though I said that, there's a good chance that's NOT what's going to happen) Oh yeah, and for every morsel Aranea gives Terezi, I have to wonder how much information trading Aradia is conducting as a guide!
