Man, I loved that fakeout. I thought for sure that Dad was dead there for a second. Then I read the pesterlog below and moved to the next page, and laughs were had.

From: Natwaf_akidna | #473 Didn't you hate it when you first read it?
No, the problem was that I DIDN'T read it the first time because I was anxious to get back to the kids. I didn't read it until after Descend, knowing that I was at a point where I wouldn't see the kids for like 600 pages anyways. A mistake.
From: Lightning Strikes | #480 Perhaps we should actually let this one fill up this time. Just a thought. >_>
Also Biscuits is the best Felt member. Also I had no idea you were a hot chick LtM.
It's filled up. 20 posts left to go is a pittance. People can keep using the topic after a new one is up, but I'd rather have it up early instead of late.
Sometimes I wonder if people are just good at predicting what Hussie will do, or if Hussie is still using peoples' ideas, just without a suggestion box now. Regardless, Roxy is probably the best possible name, and she did wind up being the Rogue of Void like many suspected pretty early on.
After the introduction of Jane and Jake people came to the conclusion that these kids served to give narrative limelight to the titles that didn't get all that much focus. After Page, Life and Hope were taken only a few more combinations were left, from which people began to pay attention to clues from, say, UU logs.

Oh yeah, there aren't a lot of combinations left. Really after we got Maid of Life and Page of Hope, the only remaining titles left were Rogue, Mage, Sylph, and Prince (Thief and Bard are probably off-limits), and the only remaining aspects left were Void, Heart, and Doom (Mind, Blood, and Rage all practically guaranteed to be off limits). And then UU tipped us off that Roxy was Void a while ago, but Rogue wound up just being a really good guess.
I'm still feeling Prince of Heart for Di Stri. There's like a 25% chance of being right anyway, since the only reasonable titles left are Prince and Mage and the only reasonable aspects are Heart and Doom, and Doom doesn't feel right.
Prince of Heart is the most likely one. Both Eridan and Nepeta are dead. Sollux is still alive and if he dies we have no safety net for both Mage or Doom. The only title which would be gone is Thief, and we still have UU.

There's no need to reintroduce Thief. Vriska's abilities were very clearly explained and shown, so there isn't really a narrative need to have another Thief. And people need to get over Vriska dying.
We really don't know what UU's deal is so it's a bit premature to say she has to be anything in particular, I think. Whatever she is, it's something that's probably meaningful to her, rather than filling a quota.
Totes called Roxy. Then again, what else could it have been? I think everyone knew it would be.
Also, we already have some duplicates so it's not like everyone needs to be unique. It's more about just seeing the classes we haven't seen much of due to their previous players being slightly dead. So Bro will probably be the Prince of Heart, but he could still be the Mage since Hussie is probably thinking right now, "Hmmm, I haven't killed Sollux enough. I should get to that".
