Karkat: Leave your room.

You were allowed to design this hive when you were young, after you emerged victorious from your trials deep in the brooding caverns. You have lived here with your CUSTODIAN ever since ( Read more... )

Here we see a closeup of the ~ATH manual, and one of its pages. The narration reveals that it is titled ""~ATH - A HANDBOOK FOR THE IMMINENTLY DECEASED," which of course reads as "Til Death" etc. This seems to reference Tim Burton's Beetlejuice, which contains an item called "Handbook for the Recently Deceased" and apparently reads like ( Read more... )

Karkat: Captchalogue sickle.

Karkat's fetch modus is "encryption modus."

You grab your trusty SICKLE with your ENCRYPTION MODUS. To retrieve it, you'll need to hack the code to open the CARD VAULT left behind.

This is a common visual motif: a panel of hands reaching. Sometimes there is a ring, sometimes there isn't. And sometimes there's no reaching, but a hand and a ring. But this is the former. Yeah.

So I have quite a few notes about the chunk of narrative where John locks onto the four kids' guardians in order to create their paradox clones, so I'm going to hit them all in one post for efficiency's sake. I want to point out that I'm not implying anything with these notes--I'm just recording details that seem like they might hold some sort of ( Read more... )

Davesprite: Also pester.

In this pesterlog Rose reveals that she burned her copy of the MEOW code book because in this timeline (as opposed to the one her alternate timeline dreamself remembers spending with Davesprite) it is relevant and important. We know it is because this session (in the alpha timeline) is the one Bec is ectobiologized in.
