She could just not be wearing the godhood. I mean, Vriska went without it for some time.

I mean the fact that she's unable to escape being simply locked in a room, not her choice of outfit.

I figured God Tiers could change clothes.

I doubt it's the Alpha Aradia, but only because how the story has been handled up to this point.

Doomed/Alternate timeline Aradia seems to be the most likely suspect if anything not present alpha Aradia.

First Guardians out-power God Tiers. God Tiers have escaped, but I'd assume with enough work Green Sun beings can lock up God Tiers.

Except Alive!Aradia's primary motivation is not dying again, and creating doomed versions of herself is completely antithetical to this mentality.

It could be, yes, but I highly doubt it.

This would be pre-God Tier alternate Aradia. Timeline where Vriska/Sollux didn't kill Aradia, then Scratch snatched her up for whatever reason.

Given, I'm not sure if he can do that. Didn't that whole Terezi killing Vriska thing deal with Scratch not being able to interact with alternate timelines?

Regardless, it's going to be time bullshit.

As I recall, yes. He was able to give exposition on them only by virtue of deducing probable outcomes, but the Scratch we see is not one that can just pluck children out of alternate timelines.

The fact that, in a doomed timeline, Vriska was shown possibly defeating Jack, who had First Guardian powers, suggests otherwise.

That said, yes, a First Guardian probably could capture a God Tier Hero of Time. However, said First Guardian probably wouldn't do so with a locked door.

I'd figure that if anyone could trap a god of time, it'd be someone who's in charge of a mob of time travelers.

Maybe Doc Scratch made the closed, locked room billions of years ago, so that no matter how far back in time Aradia went, she'll still be in that room.

Which would work if time travel in this story didn't also allow the traveler to change locations as well.

I don't think he could or would. "Capturing" someone isn't in his nature. Conveniently being present to "aid" a young girl that was stranded in the future by events in which he may have had some tangental involvement is. The end result, obviously, is the same.

And I really don't see anything within the realm of powers demonstrated by First Guardians that could keep god-tier Aradia from escaping. Since this doesn't look like some kind of bizarre fractal prison of folding space and time, I can't begin to believe that this is god-tier Aradia.

To be honest, I don't think First Guardians have time travel powers. They haven't demonstrated any and why would they even need such a thing? They exist at all points in time where their existence is necessary, and they know exactly what they need to do all the time. For them, travelling through time would be like using your hands to move your feet to walk. And the Felt sure as hell aren't about to out time-magic a god.

Sir, do you mean to suggest that Biscuits could not, in fact, keep Aradia captive within the confines of his time oven?

Ludicrous, sir! Simply ludicrous!
