    DAVE: awesome thanks mom
    DAVE: roxy i mean
    ROSE: Dave, even I'm having less trouble referring to Roxy by her name consistently, and I was the one who grew up knowing her as my literal mother.
    ROSE: What is going on with you?
    DAVE: nothing
    DAVE: its just like semi accidentally replacing a word with another word in a majority of instances
    DAVE: why do you need to read things into everything
    ROSE: You're right. How could anyone possibly read anything into that sort of repeated slip-up.
    DAVE: exactly
    ROSE: What if you're making her uncomfortable?
    ROXY: its fine really!
    ROXY: i think it is sorta endearing
    DAVE: see rose yall worrying about nothing as usual
    DAVE: moms fine with it
    DAVE: moxy
    ROXY: snort
    DAVE: i mean
    DAVE: romy
    DAVE: mommy
    DAVE: wait fuck
    DAVE: ok that one was fucked up
    DAVE: lets make sure i never ever fucking say that again

    Something about the kernel being attracted to the dead, dying, or otherwise doomed. We haven't had a straight-up living Alpha Timeline player get prototyped. It might not even be possible.

    I mean, you can't blame Vriska for playing it safe since she might not know the exact ins and outs of that shit. And you don't want a horrible double prototyping of two players since there's a chance they'll be incompatible and you basically wasted a resurrection.

    Hussie is a cruel and capricious writer who delights in my frustration and the suffering of his characters.

    Loved most of this update, til Vriska's interjection and Rosesprite as another pointless wrinkle to smooth out.

    I am reasonably sure that Dave's continuing Freudian slips are one of my favorite Homestuck running gags.
    ROSE: You do realize we've seen her already, right?
    DAVE: what
    DAVE: when
    ROSE: Months ago.
    ROSE: In a dream.
    ROSE: She was floating along in Derse pajamas, asleep.
    DAVE: wait that was her
    ROSE: Yes.
    DAVE: oh
    DAVE: huh
    DAVE: .....
    ROSE: You're wondering why I didn't tell you?
    DAVE: no
    ROSE: You're specifically wondering why I wasn't forthcoming with an answer to your question at the time, "hey who was that choice babe in the pajamas?"
    DAVE: god fucking dammit
    TG: and then we crack up laughing cause we both know theyre fresher than your moms change of drawers and tighter than when shes wearin them
    TT: Listening to you conjure imagery of my mother in her underpants is definitely keeping us buoyed high above this swirling Freudian hellhole.
    TT: Well done.
    TG: please its not like shes my mom i can visualize her choice ass all i want without it gettin much more than moderately uncomfortable for everyone involved
    TT: What if you're wrong?
    TG: about what
    TT: Her not being your mother.
    TG: uh
    TT: Don't worry, you're probably safe. Luckily I can think of no literary or historical precedent for that sort of folly whatsoever.

    In those two cases, the sprite was touching its own player; It would seem that a player can't be prototyped into their own sprite, but that's contradicted by the existence of DaveSprite. Maybe it didn't count as a player being prototyped into his own sprite because the Dave that traveled back in time was not alpha timeline Dave anymore when he jumped into Alpha Dave's sprite.

    I'm pretty sure they didn't double prototype. A second prototyping makes the Black King even stronger and they were already facing an incredible challenge with the powers of their lusii.

    The only double prototype was ghost Aradia and the frog statue head

    Which she prototyped so that the queen would be too disgusted by her powered up form to wear her ring

    Johns was a double prototype. The jester doll and Nana.

    And then Jades too. With Jade. Which is also a self prototyping.

    I do not think there are ANY rules to prototyping at all. It seems right for Vriska to be worried. Not because it will happen, but because apparently anything can happen, it COULD.

    Kinda thought that was only pre-entry prototypings? Like, Jack and the imps didn't all become part Dave.

    I should review all this pre-Act 6 stuff at some point soon.

    Only pre-entry. I just think they never bothered with a second prototyping.

    Only prototyping done before entry into the session affects anything.

    So for optimal conditions, each player should only prototype one object, and said object should be as nonthreatening as possible.

    You have to prototype something though, or else you get a dead session like in act 6.

    I don't think we know what would happen if only one/some players prototype something.

    You're right. I'm the one who needs to review.

    Ahem ACTUALLY a dead session is calliborn's session, what the b2 kids had was a null session *snort*

    Which is apparently caused when you prototype a kernel with another kernel, or maybe all of the kernels involved in a game

    Then Vriska shouldn't have been freaking out since Rosesprite is Roxy's sprite.

    Yeah Terezi and Vriska make way more sense as enemies and rivals than as a team.
