Well, Earl and Gem seem interested as well, so that's three. These things have worked before.

Edit: I don't like Aridia's fatalness, so I go with Rose's screw destiny.

My bet is that Aradia explodes when she sees the kids fuck fate with a spoon, and she can't take the shock. The caption will be "It begins to dawn upon you that everything you just did was a colossal waste of time."

Take Legacy of Kain: Defiance, for example. Moebius and the Elder God were exactly right: Raziel DID kill Kain and enter the Reaver. Obviously that must have been a win for them, right?

The same can obviously be said for Aradia, too, whose prophetic abilities prior to gaining time travel were pretty much the same as Rose's: The hearing of spooky voices unseen.

And for the record, I'm far more willing to trust Rose's word over Aradia's. As unstable as she is at the moment, Rose isn't as much of a complete mess as Aradia has pretty much always been. She's also not on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Oh, definitely. I think Aradia has access to more information at once (she basically seemed to know exactly how to proceed from from the get-go), but I'm sure it has the same flaws as Rose's.

Colors: Just go to the MSPA wiki and steal the hex for the ASCII color used (or even any pesterlog page).

The Game's Origins: I suppose I am just going with the idea that the game is an inherent part of each universe created, manifested in a way that "makes sense" for that universe -- and then either expanded upon by its denizens or the like (e.g. Sollux, Skaia Labs) and perhaps guided in development by the guardians.

Seeing the Future: Aradia's understanding of what's going on seems above and beyond everyone else's. Jade got to see glimpses in Prosperit clouds but didn't exactly know how it all pieced together. Rose (and really any Derse dreamer that's cared to listen) has the dark whisperings to go from, but we don't have any confirmation yet as to how accurate or detailed they have been with their information. Aradia has also heard these, but then her time shenanigans and collection of herself [prior to the scratch and destruction] in bot form has probably further enabled her to maintain a stronger grasp of what's all going down. I'm willing to bet that being dead has either biased her OR made things more clear, however -- that remains to be seen. Regardless, I also agree that she, like everyone else, has no post-scratch knowledge. Anyone's predictions or descriptions of the future are only going to be so good until that point, unless new information is revealed or some more Wacky Plot Shit happens.

Avatars: Ha, the folks who made these images did it first, then <insert name of any forum, including MSPA's own forum, that has a thread for Homestuck> started ripping avatars from it. I'm glad we don't have people doubling up on all the characters, but it's not like any of us can claim originality.

Role playing: I normally am not a fan, but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Also, has Nanna completely drained John's Prankster's Gambit? We have yet to see anything come of this -- I think Rose already lost most/all of hers, and there was a similar feature for Kanaya/Rose related to snark [though that was more or less "restored" to a balance] -- but perhaps it is necessary for John? Or for Nanna?

e: hahaha I am so glad you are actually using sweaty Equis, Bard. It amuses me greatly.

I can only assume that by being strong you mean being ordered around by people and by love you mean get sexually aroused.

I already said I love being strong.

There is no need for you to restate it.
