The Secret of the All-Knowing Cueball

Caliborn’s lovely masterpiece and the flash that follows pretty much reveal one thing: Doc Scratch is none other then Arquius. This explains a lot of things such as his manipulative tendencies, his Yes/No “Equius” thing as well as the fact that he never swears.

What it DOESN’T explain however, is why Scratch is omniscient. First of all, we know that his omniscience comes from the all-knowing cueball, and NOT Lil Cal. Meaning that alongside his Arquius counterpart, there’s also another component stored in Doc Scratch. Another “soul”, so to speak. I believe that soul to be none other than  JASPROSESPRITE^2 

Now I KNOW that it’s extremely hard to imagine this abomination of nature to be part of Doc Scratch, and it’s not that this theory is without holes or anything but we’ll get to that later. First, let’s point out the similarities.

JASPROSESPRITE^2: It was established in what is now a highly focused understanding of my aspect as well as these radically magnified feline instincts!! :3! JASPROSESPRITE^2: Yes good point, it's true that feline instincts in no empirical way contribute to one's prognosticative acuity, fair enough! JASPROSESPRITE^2: But they really make it FEEL like my intuition has more credibility than it really deserves. 

Sounds familiar? It should...

Never mind, I figured it out instantly because of my unfathomable intellect, limitless knowledge, and mind boggling charisma. Granted, my charisma had less to do with it than the other qualities. But it didn't hurt, did it?

She then proceeds to compliment Calliope’s suit, which looks like Scratch’s. But you could argue that she compliments everything about Calliope: Head (which she refers to as a  “ Quite the fetching artifact to keep propped on such a smartly dressed pair of shoulders.” which kind of is reminiscent of Scratch’s head, a ball, the perfect fetching artifact. She also compliments her eyes but I don’t think that’s important (unless it’s an ironic thing since Scratch considers eyes to be for suckers).

Also, I think it goes without saying that both Scratch and Jasperose are quite talkative to say the least, as well as attention-hogging and self-centered.

The final “parallel “ I could find was this:

JASPROSESPRITE^2: A princely young wizard who wrought science through a wand? JASPROSESPRITE^2: Or a fishy young princess who never spoke once to Lalonde? JASPROSESPRITE^2: What about "other guy", the one thought half-dead only? JASPROSESPRITE^2: Or the girl who likes ships! Cause they made her less lonely. ;3

aaand...

What would you say if I said a dutiful girl raised in the daylight was protected by a bulb-headed guardian, and learned to glow in the dark after death? What would you say if I said a vengeful boy on a path of nihilism was taken under the wings of fearsome angels, and learned to destroy hope with their light? What would you say if I said a reserved girl enamored by what dwelt in shadow was selected by the horrorterrors for service, and did their bidding at every step while convinced of her own autonomy?

The ONLY thing that seems to directly contradicts this theory is the fact that Jasrosesprite seems to have knowledge of other timelines, while Scratch clearly says his main domain is the alpha timeline. Aside from that, Jasprose has a big understanding of her aspect, the aspect of light. Light being associated with knowledge, and for now, she is the most likely candidate to be inside that cueball.

Still not convinced? Understandable. Let’s go to the second part of this theory: What does JASPROSESPRITE have in common with the magical cueball?

I SELECT THE FOUR OF THESE JOKERS, WHO I DEEM THE GREATEST THREAT TO ME. THE BLUE PHILISTINE WITH THE BELLIGERENT FISTS, OF COURSE. SO HE CAN'T OWN ME AGAIN, WITH HURTFUL INSULTS TO MY ART. AND ALSO THE ALPHA MALE AND HIS SMOOTH WAYS, SAY GOODBYE TO HIM TOO. I COULDNT RISK MESSING WITH HIS SWORD, WHICH I UNDERSTAND TO BE THE ONLY THING IN REALITY THAT IS POISON TO MY INVINCIBILITY. BECAUSE OF AN ILLEGAL INGREDIENT, A WHITE ROUNDCIRCLE OF TOTAL KNOWLEDGE. 

This wonderfully worded description is brought to us by out main villain, but this isn’t the first time we hear that the cueball represents Lord English’s weakness. Its only weakness if we believe what skullface says. Thing is, we have another hint to how English can be defeated. Back in Intermission I: Don’t Bleed on the Suits, we get this little tidbit from Slick

Lord English is supposedly indestructible. He's rumored to be killable only through a number of glitches and exploits in spacetime.

This could mean that the cueball itself is some sort of glitch or a cheat, hence why Caliborn called it illegal.

Isn’t Jasperosesprite such an unprecedented, ridiculously unexpected event to occur in the game that it could be considered a glitch in the system? Until a more likely candidate steps up to inhabit the cueball, my money’s on Jasperosesprite^2 being the future soul that haunts the all-knowing fetch artifact.
