MS Paint Adventures 4: 13

[Fawkes]

Wild guess: PipeFan (if I remember the handle corectly) is Alpha-verse Dad!

PipeFan413 is John's dad.

[LoneStarNorth]

Still, wasn't there talk of the trolls bringing the Beta kids into trollverse?

And where was Jade going?

The idea was to bring the trolls and the kids into the post-scratch Sburb session. The detonation of the green sun (or its creation, as it turned out) would provide a beacon for the trolls to navigate towards, and then Jade was going to be in charge of leading them from there to the new session, because she knew to escape through the fourth wall. And from there they would head into the new universe once it's created.

It Was Jake! The Entire Time! The Pumpkins!

Oh My Lord This Is So Exciting!

[irenicObserver]

So, like Aradia, Jake was dead before entry. I expect he won't even have a tower since he "doesn't belong with the other players". Who keeps killing the post-scratch dream selves (specifically the ones that have an interest in archaeology and discovery?)? That's an interesting question I can't wait to see answered.

Is that... Vatican City?

Why do you think Jake is dead? (not just dreamself dead)

Was Aradia's dream self dead? She only ascended once Bec Noir nuked it.

WHAT THE FLAMING BLUE SMURF IS THAT THING IN THE WOODS BEHIND JAKE

...is the First Guardian of Alpha-Earth somehow Karkat's lusus?!

What? No, of course not. That doesn't look anything like Karkat's lusus.

[Draconi Redfir]

Objection


But yeah it's probably not the first guardian, Jake has said there are multiple beasties on the island, earthscratch might not even be on said island.

[irenicObserver]

I never said the real Jake was dead, I thought my context was clear.

Was Aradia's dream self dead? She only ascended once Bec Noir nuked it.

The only fact we have to go on is that her dreamself had the same tattered clothing she did as a ghost. Also, all players that died or were destroyed on the back up bed in the center of the planet have ascended, but that's rather arbitrary. If the latter is not true does it really matter if she was dead or not?

Oh god I just saw it.

[TheArsenal]

So the Trolls are on earth now?

[Androgeus]

So the Trolls are on earth now?

Well a creature that is similar to one of the lusus' species is.

Dream-selves are affected by the way you see yourself, alive or dead; look at Terezi's red shades for another example of sartorial choice bleeding over into Skaia.

Also, all players that died or were destroyed on the back up bed in the center of the planet have ascended, but that's rather arbitrary. If the latter is not true does it really matter if she was dead or not?

As far as the mechanics of the game are concerned, perhaps not.

That said, you're the one who asked "who keeps killing the post-scratch dream selves?" I would think you would find it relevant if half of your sample was alive all along.

[Draconi Redfir]

Just posting Two Things relevent to what's being discussed right now.

Who knows, might have actually been what happened.

[BRC]

Alright, explanations.
1: Jake is a ghost, he just doesn't know it (Unlikely, Aradia seemed to only interact with objects via Telekinesis).
2: Somehow his dreamself died before the game even began, potentially due to the Beta Kid's shenanigans.
3: Post-Scratch sessions have at least one dead dreamself before the game begins.

Like this headcanon.

Oh, ok it sounded like you were asking me.

[Lateral]

Hmm. Looks like in the Alpha Universe, Rose (or Rose's mom, or Rose's paradox-sister-twin, or something; I'm not... quite sure how this scratch worked) types like Dave. I wonder if 'Dave' types with perfect diction.

[irenicObserver]

Dave typed like that?

[Lateral]

Dave typed like that?

Well, no, not exactly like that, but he certainly... avoided capital letters and proper punctuation well enough. It isn't a perfect fit, I just think it might be an interesting reversal.

[Midnight Lurker]

Okay yeah that is DEFINITELY a Giant Enemy Crabdad.

[Inyssius Tor]

What? No, of course not. That doesn't look anything like Karkat's lusus.

...

I AM SO SMART

[Midnight Lurker]

Now is that simply a larger example of that lusus species than Karkat's crabdad, or are trolls really like thirty feet tall?

EDIT: damn Hussie's fast with the Jossing.

empressenvy asked:

Are the trolls bigger than humans?

No. They are the same size.

This was never a good theory. A funny theory maybe. But false. There is a great deal of evidence in the story which contradicts this idea. Citing only one: Cal is the same size relative to both.

[Draconi Redfir]

Ten gold says Jake gives it a hug or something.

[TheArsenal]

What adult version of the kids are you guys exited to see the most?
Its adult Dave for me.

Hes either an expert on robotics (Hense why his bro knows so much)

Or a movie producer in a black business suit. So he fights with one hand, answering calls with his other.

[RebelRogue]

Hmm, Mom is using an awful lot of troll culture references/terms.

[BRC]

Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that Lalonde's references to troll culture are just her being drunk and silly/ hussie messing with us. Same with Jakes LE gear.
