So, is the site down for everybody? Do we know when it'll be back up?

[Ymper Trymon]

This is the second time in maybe a week (for me) that the site's been down. No idea when it will be back up, but I'm sure there's a perfectly legitimate reason for it being down, because otherwise I'll have to beat Hussie with a raisin until he puts the site back up, and that would be an emotionally scarring experience for everybody.

[///dotcom///]

The place where the server that hosts MSPA is located was flooded because of Sandy.

So yeah, there is a good reason. We don't know when it'lll be back up, either.

[Ymper Trymon]

Well that would certainly explain why it's down now, but what about when it went down a couple of days ago and then came back up? Is that just normal entropy at work?

I thought so. But it's back up now, so hooray!

what


what just happened

[Ymper Trymon]

Well basically

To sum it all up

In the most concise way possible

Leaving out no relevant details of what just happened

And explaining things to the satisfaction of all

Including you, yes you in the third row

Stark gibbering madness happened.

[Chro]

I for one found the antics of Gollum-Tavros in the ministrife to be quite amusing. Haven't read the rest of tonight's updates yet, so I'll address those later...

[The Lonesome Wanderer]

John has the ring!??? Which one though?
And Calliope is a ghost?

[Chro]

John probably has the ring that Tavros was going to give to Vriska, considering he said he'd wish really hard and wake up with it or whatever... stupid dream bubble sleep mind physics...
Is she? I must've missed that in the ridiculous amount of dialogue within the ministrife (the music in that rocked BTW). Kinda makes sense. Maybe that would be because her consciousness is simply tied to her and Caliborn's shared body, and when Lord English entered the world, the possibility of Calliope existing again was nullified. Does that make any sense?

[The Lonesome Wanderer]

About as much sense as Homestuck in general. Which is to say, not much.

Well, that or she's just written a self-insert fanfic about the trolls and kids, which would explain why we only see her on paper. Remember that she similarly appears and vanishes near John.

[Xomeron]

The Ring that John now has is, of course, the same ring that Hussie proposed to Vriska with; I personally think this is the White Queen's ring from the B2 Session, but I'm not sure. We already knew that objects could be taken out of dreambubbles when Jack flew out with the Ridiculous Hat.

However, I am confident that this large gathering of ghosts here in the Dreambubble will be leading to an appearance by The Big Man.

Yes, usually anything whimsical and fun in Homestuck is immediately followed by mass death. That's why Hussie got John out of there - he doesn't want to kill John until he's had the chance to list off and describe all the ways he's had everyone John ever knew killed. Only after Hussie has had his chance to drink John's tears will he deliver the final blow.

Honestly, I'd be cool with this plan if it didn't involve everyone else dying up to three times.

Ah, that makes sense. This will likely lead to another use of the Red Miles... or rather, the White Ring's equivalent of that... (do we know what color that is?)

Well. That's... so true, actually. Are we taking bets on who dies?
Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea; everyone would always win, three times over.

I'd agree completely; however, when John disappeared from the bubble, which according to your idea is in Calliope's fiction, he woke up in the real world again, which sort of disproves that... Or maybe it's all interconnected and has to do with her Muse of Space powers that we have yet to learn.

[///dotcom///]

Gamzee is still there though, so they aren't going to die. Or if they are, it wouldn't affect people there who are just dreaming.

In other words, Hussie killed John because it was time for his yearly death, just that.

[Chro]

Does he have an annual deathday? If not... it should happen. Of course, it'd become irrelevant after about three years for each character.

[///dotcom///]

John has died at least once on his birthday for the past three (in-comic) years, so yeah, he does.

The last two have both been caused by Meenah.

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

So I finally finished reading through Homestuck.

...

oh gosh my brain hurts

[Ymper Trymon]

Well you aren't finished, you've just read everything that's there so far. You're caught up, is all.

Meanwhile, for my own amusement, I've been thinking over the implications of different combinations of class and aspect. So far I've come to the conclusion that a Thief of Breath would be pretty awesome/murderous, and a Bard of Space would inevitably pull the best shenanigans in paradox space.

[Makaru]

The Thief of Breath is contractually obliged to live in Berlin, Germany.

i c wut u did thar


So Hussy decides to steadily update, mindscrew us, and then not update for a while. Yeah, I'm not surprised, really.

[Makaru]

He's busy signing all that fancy loot for the donations.

[Roxy Lalonde]

i miss the alpha kids

Also sadface.

Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask. Dirk's mask.

[Makaru]

A red, flame-based mask with a reverse horseshoe shaped breather. Nope nope nope nothing of note there. I don't see hau you would reach that conclusion.

See, and now I feel just the tiniest bit of pity for Caliborn. Nobody deserves to be that bored.

[That pity is still overwhelmed, like, times infinity, by the desire to see him catch a nuclear missile with his face.]

[Gamzee Makara]

Wait what just happened to me.


Caliborn why

Edited by Gamzee Makara, Nov 18 2012 - 05:32 AM.

[Chro]

Wait what just happened to me.
Caliborn why

And while he's riddling you with bullets there's still that peaceful music in the background.

[Ymper Trymon]

The good news is that I'm pretty sure a death completely unconnected to anyone who knows or cares about the multiple atrocities you've committed is technically just, and I also don't think waving like a brainless tool counts as heroic.

The bad news is that I don't think death-by-Caliborn cares if it's just or heroic.

[///dotcom///]

That was just the funniest thing to happen in Homestuck in a while.

[Gamzee Makara]

I may have accidentally left the tab open for a few hours.


Also got a kick out of that last little volley there.

I would know.

[Chro]

I love how the Rage loading icon becomes progressively more destroyed.

A red, flame-based mask with a reverse horseshoe shaped breather. Nope nope nope nothing of note there. I don't see hau you would reach that conclusion.

Wait what? I thought someone had already mentioned that. Meh, okay, must've been elsewhere.

[Gamzee Makara]

I can't even tell which wall we're breaking with this comic anymore.

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

I'm pretty sure that Homestuck is the only work of fiction I've seen where the fourth wall can be broken from the outside.

[Ymper Trymon]

So we've discovered Gamzee's true power.

The thing that scared everyone so much.

The thing that made the Black King have a bad day. A very bad day. Sort of a relieving one I guess, since it was, guaranteed, the last bad day he would have.

But anyway.

Yeah.

We found out what it is.

It's elevator music.

[Makaru]

I cannot repel Muzak of this magnitude.

[Chro]

Yes, his music. An inability to die by virtue of being a clown has no effect on anyone. It was the music all along.
