This isn’t supposed to hapen...

We’re finally back to Homestuck proper, then - and I assume that means the more meta aspects of the narrative are going back in their box.

I guess it's time to see exactly how Gamzee was 'dealt with'.

I'm a little nervous about this one, to be honest. It sure looked like Karkat was able to best Gamzee in combat, but he never actually confirmed that was what happened - and there are certainly other 'troll things' that might confuse John here. If they've started a kismesissitude instead, I am going to be pissed.

Karkat’s honestly a pretty good matchup for Gamzee right now. His own personal rage is a perfect antidote for Gamzee’s Aspect abilities, and could potentially drown them out entirely. I feel like he’s currently too pissed to be intimidated.

Kanaya’s good to have, too, since she's... possibly immortal now? She should at least be a lot harder to put down, now that she's a vampire.

This ain't no blackrom, then.

Thank you, Karkat, for confirming that my worst-case scenario will not come to pass.

Sorry, Terezi, but I’m not sure how useful your Seer powers will be.

If you're trying to analyze the consequences of someone's decisions, you need that person to be following some sort of internal logic. Gamzee, however, is following a puppet. I doubt even he knows what he's going to do next.

And, please, for the love of god, do not try to blackrom him.

Sollux might need to sit this one out. I’m pretty sure his psionics are still out of commission, and he's completely reliant on them in a fight. The guy never even bothered to assign his strife specibus.
