EB: ok then, i guess i will get going. AG: Go where? EB: to keep looking for my dad! […] AG: I have told you that you will find your dad eventually. That should 8e good enough! Don't you think it's time to start taking your responsi8ility more seriously? […] EB: but what responsibility do you mean? AG: We just concluded that I am going to go fight Jack. And there is a possi8ility I will fail! He could kill me easily for all I know. 8ut it's something I have to try.

It'll be a short fight, either way. Jack's teleport is instantaneous, and Vriska’s luckstealing causes an immediate calamity for her opponent.

If her ability can bypass Jack's invincibility, then the outcome of their duel will be decided by whoever's quicker on the draw.

In other words: are you feeling lucky, Vriska?

AG: And if I do fail, your plan will serve as 8ackup. There is a lot riding on you, John. On 8oth of us! EB: so you're saying i should go get the tumor now instead of putting it off? AG: I'm not telling you to do anything. Just reminding you of what's at st8ke. […] EB: how am i supposed to get it out? EB: i guess go find a cave or something? AG: Yes, you could pro8a8ly go looking for a sanctioned entry point. AG: Or you could just do what winners in a hurry do. […] AG: Cheat! […] AG: I won't tell you how, 8ut I will point out you could start making 8etter use of your powers than facilit8ing noisy joyrides.

I love that Vriska is clearly trying to let John’s ideas arise naturally, but she's just too pushy to passively stand by. She has to give him hints.

EB: yes, but… EB: all i can do is make a lot of wind blow around!

Yeah, on the scale of an entire Land. And that was before you became a wind god, too - you're probably even stronger now.

With John's power level, it should be trivial to smash through the Battlefield’s mantle - the problem is doing so without collateral damage. Hurricanes are not generally known for their subtlety.

AG: I think it's time for me to get going too. I will prepare for 8attle. […] EB: can this not be the last time we talk before you go? EB: it would be nice to hear from you at least once before you leave to fight him. AG: Yeah! You got it. I will message you 8efore I leave.
