Today I’m reading.
12/16/09- "Rose: Build as much as you can as fast as you can.” (/homestuck/1022) to 12/20/09 - “==>” (/homestuck/1051)”
Select this thingy to read my commentary
Rose is working with John and they need to work together. SBURB is a game, they both play it. John is in the game trying to not die and Rose has the ability to move things and rapidly build. The goal of the game is to build up to a gate high above John’s house. But John has other plans and wants to just craft things. Johns also lost his mind a bit. Something odd has happened with the graffiti in his room. From our perspective as an audience the imps cause this vandalism. But Rose is providing evidence that it was there before that. She’s also using her armchair physiology to convince John that the graffiti was always there.
Her theories are pretty conceivable. She suggests John’s father never liked clowns. He only adopted the theming as he assumed John liked clowns. John’s acknowledging this but also he made a cool Sassacre bunny hat thing. Rose has been building upward, but as mentioned before she is a terrible architect. Rose is even concerned her structure could collapse. Meanwhile a giant horde of imps and ogres approach. Jade meanwhile is playing her advanced base in her dreams.
The song “the beginning of something really excellent”. I friggin’ love this one, very hopeful. The animation also reveals that Jade’s dreamworld bedroom is on the moon of Prospit. The planet of gold and light orbiting Skiai. This is fascinating as it means she is already in SBURB somehow. She’s likely been there for quite awhile, though only while sleeping. Prospect is an interesting place. The entire planet and its moon’s covered in a dense roman gothic(?) megacity. The moon’s chained to the planet with a gigantic chain. The inhabitants are white capricians like the Peregrine Mendicant (PM). They all wear light pastel shirts and funny hats. Jade looks down to one, we see that in the waking world. JadeBot is looking down at a spot of the lake near a small tower of the frog ruins, Bec watching from nearby. Years in the future in that exact place the PM is departing from their metal fruit ship.
PM landed near some frog ruins and nearby the Wayward Vagabond (WV) and Mayor of Can Town, has also landed. The letter that Jade had managed to send to the WV, instructed him to go meet PM and deliver the blue package to them. The freedom of his people demands it.
A nearby Aimless Renegade (AR) starts shooting at both PM and WV from his tower. This caused both of them to seek cover. Fortunately, the aimless part of AR’s name is well earned. Hiding behind a rock WV gives the package to the “mail lady” PM.
Jade is still floating around Prospit. The moon had 2 towers, one was hers, and she decided to visit her neighbour’s tower. The tower contains John’s room, and John?! He is sleeping. This means he sleeps there while awake elsewhere. His dream room is also covered in graffiti and he has an imp plushie on his bed. Jade mentions he frequently has troubled dreams in this state. Jade also mentioned she needs to ask John if he’s received his green package yet. Damn time screwy! I completely forgot Jades timeline is still behind the others.
Jade decides to head back as an eclipse will soon happen and she doesn’t think it’s a good idea to be outside during one.
Till tomorrow spy on your sleeping neighbours and keep riding the pumpkin tide.
