IMAGES / IMAGENES

You drew your own role playing character for fun, as many Flarpers are prone to do.  Her name is Marquise Spinneret Mindfang[...].  She gained all the levels. All of them.

Mindfang. She doesn’t even try to hide her psychic abilities, because once she’s in telepathic range, she doesn’t need to.

Troll psionics are forbidden in FLARP, which is a rule we learned just as Vriska was breaking it. Her intro page made it pretty obvious that that wasn’t the first time, either - this is how she wins games.

In other words, she’s not really playing FLARP at all. For all her grandstanding about her character’s stats, the only stat that really matters here is her opponents’ mental fortitude. 

You just can't ever seem to go anywhere in your hive without stepping on an errant D4. [...] It's just your bad luck, you guess. You've had such terrible luck ever since your accident. 

Vriska lost her ‘Vision Eightfold’ in an accident, and that sounds like a perceptive ability. Maybe she’s having trouble adjusting to a lack of advanced vision(?) which is making her a little clumsy. 

You equip your enchanted dice set, the fabled FLUORITE OCTET. [...]

In ancient times such weapons were employed by roving bands of GAMBLIGNANTS, deadly marauders with a passion for chance. [...] Rolling the dice will execute a wide range of highly unpredictable attacks. Very high rolls can be devastating to even the most powerful opponents.

Yup, that’s a min-maxer’s weapon if I ever saw one. They’re described as enchanted, but they also seem to have come from ancient Alternia, which makes it sound like this is Alternian magic, not Sburb magic. 

Alternia was initially presented as a sci-fi world, but just like Homestuck itself, it’s slowly revealing more and more fantastical elements, such as ghosts, enchantments and psychic powers.  

When you get worked up about stuff you put 8's in places that don't really make a lot of sense phonetically.

I just read some of Vriska’s previous conversations, but I don’t think this has happened yet. Gotta keep an eye on that.  

Nooo, bring her back!

A blank text box? Maybe a notification from the computer itself? 

Oh, him.

Someone with no assigned symbol, then?
