...Is it just me, or am I detecting the sprouts of friendship between John and Vriska?

Or it might just be Vriska wanting to troll the other trolls.

I don't know, I'm really liking the dynamic they have.

Can't wait for Gamzee to troll one of the kids though. He and Vriska were seen trying to talk to Jade a long time ago, but she ignored them.

...She's trying to beat Doc Scratch. Vriska knows that everything up to the point of John's first/last conversation with Karkat is completely unavoidable. Jade will enter the medium, Bec will be prototyped, Jack will tear the universe a new one spacehole, and Lord English will be summoned. All of that has to happen, so she's doing her part to make sure it does.

Everything after that, however, is an unknown quantity, and that's where she thinks she has a chance. Scratch manipulated her, won against her at every turn, took her arm and eye, and essentially rubbed it in her face. She's gotten close to beating him in the past through cheating, but it's hardly like he wasn't cheating through the use of his own nigh infinite abilities as well. Using the cue ball was just evening the playing field.

Vriska may have figured out how to win this, but it ain't gonna be pretty.

I'd like to know what he did that caused the kids to block him.

That's kind of the whole key to Jack's plan. He had DD create Bec through paradox cloning in order to send him to Earth's past, get prototyped, and thereby gain nigh omnipotence via its addition to his transformation while wearing the Black Queen's ring.

Which is the key to Doc Scratch's plan, because it allows Jack to tear through the dimensional boundaries into the trolls' universe and kill Snowman, whose death destroys all existence, which creates Lord English via the ~ATH program Sollux made that Karkat ran in a fit of stupid, stupid rage.

It's all very simple.

Where did you read that?

...and why would he want to go to the troll's universe and kill their black queen?

That has not yet become apparent. I'm guessing the idea of a Black Queen he hasn't killed yet comes to his attention and he can't resist the urge to rectify the problem.

Oh those damn imps!

From the looks of things the eventual creation of the scratch is a design of the kids and trolls to generate the scratch that pulls Lord English into the Alternia universe. Also according to the amount of the chat we could read, and counting on Doc Scratch never lying because he doesn't need to, "articular insantiation is not any of my business" which I assumed meant he had no fucking clue this was going to happen. Combine this with the relative mood of LE when he stopped by Alternia and the choice of diction in the comic, the benefits of the scratch only lying in the world where it occurred, and consequences ending up in Alternia, the idea that the scratch is the last hope they all have and finally the possibility that it ends up bringing the trolls to the Earth universe I figure that this scratch isn't something the Doc planned, nor anything Jack planned. Something that was manipul8ted into occurring when Jack gets that Bec/Scratch level of power.

This may involve the black queen of SGRUB, but hell it may not, if anything the white ring of protypical power might have something to do with it.

Also love the imps looking a bit off as they are marched out the locale, not even putting up a fight anymore.
