Aw, there she is. All tuckered out. You wonder what she is dreaming about?

I've wondered before if Dream Selves might cause neurological issues for the Players. After all, if your brain is operating an entire secondary body while it's sleeping, how much actual rest is it getting?

On the other hand, Sburb Players are created by the game, and the game can make any changes it likes. A Player's brain chemistry might be different enough from a baseline human that the issue simply doesn't arise.

Unfortunately for Jade, her dreams are even less restful than they used to be - and I don't know if the game prepared them for this eventuality.

Anyway, guess it's time to get down to business and save her life! You prepare to initiate an uninterrupted sequence of life-saving events.

This, of course, is Authorspeak for: Shit's about to go so pear-shaped you'll think you're in the Fruity Rumpus Factory.

NANNASPRITE: John, you remind me so much of your father when he was your age. [...] JOHN: but nanna, did you know he is not really my dad? and also, i am not technically your grandson. JOHN: you are actually sort of my mother. NANNASPRITE: Of course I knew this, John! I have known for many years. NANNASPRITE: I have also known that in a sense, you are my father as well. You were the one to push all those buttons, after all!

Wait, that doesn't track at all.

The joke book that came down with John contained some information about Sburb, but it didn't say anything about the ectobiology. Plus, Nanna didn't even get to read the thing, since, well..

...she only coexisted with it for about half a second.

Did Grandpa clue her in, then? He does seem to inexplicably know everything - but I thought he and Nanna were estranged. Maybe they reconciled later on?

...wait, but then why didn't Dad know anything? He's been bemused by Sburb since the very beginning - and he was always destined to be involved, so I don't know why Nanna would hide it from him.

Man, I don't even know anymore. Guardians are so weird.

JOHN: so where have you been, nanna? i have been looking all over for you. NANNASPRITE: I have been looking for you too, dear! [...] NANNASPRITE: [...] It seems you have been rising through the rungs of your echeladder quite swiftly. [...] NANNASPRITE: [...] You have climbed so much faster than I did in my youth. I am so proud of you!

Son of a fuck.

A long time ago, I theorized that the Underling heads in Harley Mansion's foyer were evidence that Grandpa had participated in a Sburb session himself.

In a post-Hivebent world, we can see that theory is riddled with holes. Just for fun, let's poke a few.

If Grandpa was a Sburb Player, where and when did his Reckoning occur?

If he didn't have one - or if he lost the game some other way - how did he avoid dying in a null session?

If he won the game, why was he still around to raise Jade? Where is his universe?

Most obviously of all, how could he exist as a Player, when he was created for John's session as a Guardian?

Based on our current understanding of the lore, and that last point in particular, this theory is a complete non-starter. It makes no sense for a Guardian to have participated in a separate session to the kids.

So, given all of that, I hope you understand the full breadth of my confusion when I ask:

How the fuck did Nanna gain Sburb levels?

Lyrics:

Someone to count on

In a world ever changin'

Here I am

Stop where you're standin'

What you need is a lover

Someone to take over

Oh, baby, don't look any further

Strange, when you think of our chances

That we'be both been in a state of mind

Too cool to be careless, looking for the right thing

Oh, baby, don't look any further

Tonight we're gonna taste a little paradise

(Rockin' all night long)

Rockin' all night long

(Daylight)

Daylight, I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes

We'll go on and on and on and on

Day o, umba day o, mambu ji ay o

Don't look any further

(Don't you look no further)

Day o, umba day o, na jam bay um bay o

Don't look any further

Someone to count on

(Someone to count on)

In a world ever changin'

(Yeah)

Here I am

Stop where you're standin'

What you need is a lover

(You need a lover)

To love you all over

(Love you all over)

Oh, baby, don't you look any further

(Further) oh

Tonight we're gonna taste a little paradise

(Rock you all night long)

Rock me all night long

(Daylight)

Daylight, I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes

We'll go on and on and on

Day o, umba day o, mambu ji ay o

Don't look any further

(Don't you look no further)

Day o, umba day o, na jam bay um bay o

Don't look any further

Day o, umba day o, mambu ji ay o

Don't look any further

(Don't you look no further)

Day o, umba day o, na jam bay um bay o

Don't look any further
