MS Paint Adventures 4: 13

Well that was certainly unexpected. Update noow! I want to know what happens!

[Das Platyvark]

Dear Gog.
That was fantastic.

So was I. Of course in my case that was because my notice of the update consisted of my wife screaming "HUSSIE!!!!" from across the house.

[Capt. Ido Nos]

WAT. AUGH. ASADFSDF. AUGFFF.

*falls to knees, then screams into the sky*

HUUUUUUSSSSIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EE!!!!!!!!

[Das Platyvark]

Really, I'm kind of glad to see a plot twist like this come up. I didn't exactly appreciate Jane in the first place, and something out of the blue like this seems almost comical. Kind of brilliant.

[Tectonic Robot]

I am, of course, shocked by this.

Shocked, and astounded.

HOWEVER! I found a picture of the Midnight Crew as ponies! So that's pretty cool, I guess.

Oh c'mon. Are you forgetting the first rule of character death? If you don't see the body, they're probably not dead. Even if you do, there's no guarantees.

[Midnight Lurker]

This day has a name now.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Yeah, you simply cannot hope to beat Hussie in a troll off.

He is simply the best there is.

On the good news side, we now know that Sollux is only HALF dead. That's good, isn't it?

[irenicObserver]

It would be if it was news.

EDIT: Does anyone else kind of want Jane to alchemize some computers with her clever disguise? Imagine using your mustache or hat as a computer.

[Friv]

Hussie, you monster! How dare you?!

Don't you realize that you could just reuse the same curtain rig repeatedly, and switch out the picture in the background, instead of having to constantly rig up new ones?

Green curtain cloth is expensive, man! Don't you know there's a recession?

[tyckspoon]

'e's gone all self-indulgent again. People been complaining at his tumblr about stupid things too much again?

[Lateral]

Wow.

...Act 6 part 1 was surprisingly short. Then again, I suppose there are like five more, whereas act 5 only had two parts and the others didn't have parts at all. Still, it's been less than a month since Act 6 started.

[Tectonic Robot]

Ah, man, I love the god-tier echeladders!

They are SO COOOOL!

[Bad Situation]

Power ups for everyone!

Of course, it's arguable that these power ups are even quantifiable in the first place.

'e's gone all self-indulgent again. People been complaining at his tumblr about stupid things too much again?

Again? Wouldn't that imply that Hussie was ever allowed a moment's reprieve from stupidity? That's a tall order for any fandom, which is made even more difficult by the gargantuan size of the Homestuck community.

Actually, it seems like the power ups do make a certain sense. It always bugged me that Jack Noir was able to just teleport stab John in one shot even though he was god tier already. Granted, it didn't slow him down by much, but it did disable him for at least a few minutes and always seemed odd to me compared to Vriska being able to (almost, maybe) take down Jack 1 v. 1. It makes much more sense if there are some differentiations even at the god tier level.

And for everyone that's about to point out Aradia stopping Jack as a newly minted god-tier, I respond that he could have teleport stabbed her, but she would have just revived. Jack didn't respect her and was having fun randomly flying around killing at that point. He didn't know that her powers were time-related so he couldn't anticipate being stopped for a while.



By the way, god-tier Jade rendered symbolically is the cutest thing ever. I love her design.

[Bad Situation]

I like how her hair bunches up in the back of her hood.

[Lix Lorn]

I'd like to point out that this was foreshadowed AGES ago. Someone made a comment about the first of the god tiers, or something like that-probably Vriska, but I don't recall.

You each receive the badge GIFT OF GAB, enabling you to engage in simple, direct dialogue with others, without requiring any gimmicks to facilitate communication. You don't need to type through a chat client, or talk to a sprite, or traverse through a memory in a dream bubble, or wander around in an interactive game environment, or any of that stuff.

You seriously never thought you would live to see this achievement unlocked. It almost feels like cheating. Like conversing in god mode.

What is this I don't even

[Shadow of the Sun]

Huh.

That's unexpected?

Oh. My. GOD!! that's awesome

Lol'ing at the whole talking in person thing. That was something I wondered a while ago, does anyone actually talk in person in Homestuck? We've only ever seen that in flashes.

[Fayd]

So: this is my prediction for the structure of the act:

Act 6 Act 1, Act 6 Intermission 1, Act 6 Act 2, Act 6 Intermission 2, Act 6 Act 3, Act 6 Intermission 3, Act 6 Act 4, Act 6 Intermission 4, Act 6 Act 5 Act 1, Act 6 Intermission 5, act 6 Act 5 Act 2, Act 6 Intermission 6, Act 7

Sweet! It's the first Dialoglog. I really love the Gift of Gap, such a convenient skill to have.

Is it just me, or is Hussie streatching backwards?

[RebelRogue]

Hussie needs to read up on relativity...

So: this is my prediction for the structure of the act:

Act 6 Act 1, Act 6 Intermission 1, Act 6 Act 2, Act 6 Intermission 2, Act 6 Act 3, Act 6 Intermission 3, Act 6 Act 4, Act 6 Intermission 4, Act 6 Act 5 Act 1, Act 6 Intermission 5, act 6 Act 5 Act 2, Act 6 Intermission 6, Act 7

But what about Act 6 Act 6? That will have to have a similar substructure. Specifically it will have an Act 6 Act 6 Act 6 which will also have a substructure... It's going to be Acts all the way down! Fractal Acts, yay

[memnarch]

...

Well, to me, the only thing that seems off is that the ship hasn't "compressed" from the hus-bot's point of view.

[Draconi Redfir]

why would it compress?

[RebelRogue]

why would it compress?

Lorentz contraction.

But the time it should take to cross the yard from John and Jade's point of view should be very short - much shorter than the three nano-seconds it takes from Hussbot's POV. It seems like they have all the time in the world to chat.
