Our Heroes:
John Egbert, Pesterchum nickname ectoBiologist. The main character of the story, and lover of terrible movies.

Jade Harley, Pesterchum nickname gardenGnostic. A cheerful, optimistic gal with strange hunches and insights, as well as a narcolepsy problem.
Together, these four children embark on a grand adventure. While it has humble beginnings, it soon grows out of control into an epic struggle against mighty, fearsome foes, with several quirky allies joining in along the way. To discover how their story unfolds, follow the link below...
Holy crap. I hope Jane can still do The Lifey Thing.
I feel like there is no way uu isn't Lord English at this point. This is essentially a villain monologue here.
Also I think I might have some limited update precog. I only got like four hours of sleep and then I woke up at 7 AM and couldn't get back to sleep for some reason. I started getting up as I heard my roommate loudly complaining about "40 pages at once" and then I knew what had to be done.
Dirk: 2x Corpsesmooch combo coming up? The irony being that none of them are Jake, of course.
No actually what needs to happen is Dirk can wake up in his regular body, go kiss and save Roxy, but can't in his dream body for some reason. Then, Roxy will wake up as her dreamself and book it over to Jane and kiss her just in time, thus fueling more Jane x Roxy fanart.
Because it needs to happen.
(Though it's probably just going to be Dirk on both to balance out all the shipping and not give any one too much fuel)

Random thought: if Roxy gets revived, her dreamself might still be way out in the void. In fact her dreamself might still be at Aranea's little get-together. And she's going to wake up and start bleeding all over the place because of how dreamselves work. awkward......
Other random thought: Actually, this means all of them but Jane could be in dreambubbles right now. Hmm.
Jane's dreamself is dead, right? Unless she did some Lifey Thing to not be dead. ...you know what, Jane is probably going to be okay. Between Life powers and probable corpse smooching, I'm not worried about her.
Jake is probably severely concussed, but when has that ever stopped him before? More distressing is the disappearance of Lil' Seb. He will be missed. :(
Roxy still has a dreamself, so if Dirk can get over to her for a smooch (or one of the carapacians could do it, I guess) she should be fine.
Dirk just pulled off a 2x Unconscious Combo and tossed Lil' Cal into the drink for good measure. I don't think he's quite as good at this whole mastermind thing as he thinks he is.
And yeah, uu is pretty much Lord English.
So is that everything that just happened?

Oh wow, ~70 page update. That is definitely worth the wait.
And what an update it was! I think the most interesting potential thing may be the fact that uu calle Calliope "Cal". Possibly some connection there, especially considering his distaste for Lil' Cal.

Noticed that, definitely not a coincidence.

didn't Jane do some glowy thing (just showed glowing under tower rubble) or something?

Roxy may or may not be dead; I'd like confirmation beyond uu's expectations. She could still make it into the medium if the carapace peeps are able to help her. After that, we may need a handsome prince to wake her up... or at least a bard :o)
Dirk has AR and two able-bodied.... one and a half able-bodied robots who could drag him into the medium. Can't give that sort of confidence to his dreamself.
How we looking so far?

There never was a post. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.
I don't think the Roxy thing is a mislead. It would be one thing if all we got was uu's speculation, but we were flat-out shown what was going on with her. Homestuck isn't one to have an "unreliable narrator" when we're explicitly shown what's going on. The narrator can be unreliable, but AFAIK, only by omission.
I mean, consider Dirk's situation. The viewpoint blacked out before both his dreamself and realself fell asleep, but no one's doubting that.
I think in order to have the light go out, you only need to have one self die. As both of Dirk's selves are unconscious, the light is dimmed. Also, as this contradicts what was said in the Jane walkarounds about the lights going out, I expect that Jane will do the lifey thing again soon.
