TT: I should probably warn you. GG: About what? GG: Yet another exploding game trap? […] TT: She already sent it? GG: Yes. GG: But to be fair, she warned me not to run it. TT: That's weird. GG: Why? GG: She was probably just trying to protect me from the Batterwitch's latest assassination attempt. […] TT: No, it's weird because Lalonde was the one who rigged it to explode.
What the fuck?
But what could possibly motivate her to-
TT: To accomplish exactly what it sounds like got accomplished. TT: You narrowly averting the "fake" threat to your life, then getting your shit all hot and bothered at the Baroness over it. TT: Then you abdicate your heiress throne or something, and give up on this game as a big fuck you to the genocidal cake alien.
That's fucking unhinged! Not least because the bomb could easily have killed her for real!
Plus, the virus employed Roxy's fucking typing style! Wouldn't it have been obvious that she was the one behind it?
TT: She's working through some problems right now.
Ya think?
I mean, let's be real, here - this plan was probably conceived and carried out in a drunken haze. Drunk coding is messy enough without bringing ~ATH into it.
GG: Now that I think about it, she was probably going to disarm it or such when she got back, seeing as her objective had essentially been accomplished already by an ACTUAL assassination attempt. […] GG: But then I went ahead and ran it anyway like a doofus. GG: I think she just wanted to be believed. GG: Shucks. GG: Am I an awful friend?
Y'know, I think I'm just gonna let Dirk answer this one.
She rigged! Your PC! To explode!
TT: Just heard about your assassination on Prospit. […] TT: I read it in a newspaper. […] GG: Are you being ironic again? TT: No. TT: I just picked up one of the sleazy Dersite tabloid rags. TT: Sometimes they'll feature some pretty entertaining gossip about the royalty or whatever.
That's actually pretty clever. Not even Rose paid much attention to Carapacian culture - it was probably too mundane for her. These guys know a lot more about the game than you'd think, and we should probably be learning as much about them as possible.
GG: Dersite? You mean the other planet? The evil one? TT: Derse, yeah. TT: Not evil, necessarily. That's a bit simplistic. The kingdom represents the forces of opposition to Prospit and the four heroes. Us.
Specifically, Derse is opposed to frogs - in other words, they're opposed to the idea of creating a universe. That might initially sound evil - but remember, these universes destroy entire planets when they're created, so Derse.... kind of has a point, actually.
TT: It was also reported your tower exploded. They couldn't find the body to give it a proper funeral. Probably incinerated.
Wait, is Jane's dream self on the move?
I guess if anyone's Aspect Powers could allow their dream self to exist independently, it'd probably be a Life Player. After all, that's basically an Awaken spell.
