Equius just achieved, in a page, what took John an entire Act. Sburb simply can’t account for his incredible STRENGTH.

Odd, that. Is Sburb really this easy for flying (or particularly athletic) Players? 

Perhaps the game calibrates itself for ‘typical’ members of the species. Maybe if all trolls were capable of the STRONGJUMP, the game would make it impossible to pull off, and Equius only gets away with it because he’s an outlier. 

Even this titan Underling - which may have spawned as a balancing factor for his strength - is cannon fodder against those muscles. Plus, it’s about to drop heaps of Grist, making Equius even stronger through alchemy. 

Will his speedrun continue, or will the game’s scaling eventually catch up with him?

Wings, eh? Maybe one of the aquatic trolls has a flying fish lusus.

Nah, I’m kidding. Sburb clearly already 'knows' these two sessions will become one, and this trait comes from Terezi’s dragon. 

That was fast, even for someone with his mobility.

Aradia probably directed him. Equius, through her, has joined the ranks of those guided by the Voices.

ARADIABOT: it feels ARADIABOT: different!

Holy exclamation marks, Aradia!

This is a very good sign. It seems she really has come back to us - and, just maybe, her priorities are about to change. 

EQUIUS: D --> Do you feel anything else [...] EQUIUS: D --> Any sort of EQUIUS: D --> Stirring sensations [...] EQUIUS: D --> Sensations which may be stirred by flowing b100d and a beating heart

Right, Aradia’s got blue blood now. 

We have no idea how troll biology works, let alone ghost-in-the-machine troll biology, so a blood transfusion could mean anything. Maybe Aradia’s new blood color will actually influence her emotions - or even her personality. 

EQUIUS: D --> Can you detect anything within you might describe as EQUIUS: D --> Smoldering passion

You 

Fucking 

Didn’t. 

ARADIABOT: did y0u pr0gram this r0b0t t0 have feelings f0r y0u? ARADIABOT: R0MANTIC FEELINGS???

YOU FUCKING DIDN'T

ARADIABOT: GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT GET IT 0UT
