BAD DOG
WORST ENEMY

[Healy]

Do we even know the motivations of most guardians? I mean, obviously Doc Scratch is pretty bad, but what's been said so far about the first guardians is incredibly vague. I dunno, I feel like we're not really getting the whole story just yet.

Edit: Ah man! Vriska just got schooled.

[Cthulhu-chan]

Nah, I don't really think Bec is evil.  At least, the jury is still out.

And now Terezi will get blinded.  :(

[Bongo Bill]

It's difficult enough to judge whether a character is evil in the kids' world of sweetness and light. I am prepared to call it impossible on Alternia, where the same word means "friend" and "enemy" and allied protagonists murder each other for no reason.

[Brentai]

Karkat's blood color is unknown because Karkat's blood can't be seen with the naked eye.

It's either infrared or ultraviolet.  Probably the former.

Vriska probably knows though.

Alternately, Karkat doesn't even know, which is why he doesn't tell anybody.

[jsnlxndrlv]

I'm putting my money on the latter, because that puts him on the top of the nobility heap. Also... huh. Doesn't ultraviolet light cause cancer? I can't believe I only just realized that—but it's pretty obvious in retrospect.

Meanwhile, a new album went up, and I was startled to see that one of the song pages has familiar art on it.

Aaaaaand the chats that just went up made it really hard for me to keep from waking Julie up due to manic giggling.

[Cthulhu-chan]

Equius is delightfully perverse.

[Brentai]

Since it turns out that blood color is in order of the trolls' signs it's probably going to end up that his blood is yellow-green like the Trollslum says it is, and the whole "hidden color" silliness is just a sloppy way to retcon him back into the later established pattern, like John changing his Pesterchum handle.

I mean I would rather AH did something cool like CANCER-CAUSING BLOOD but I don't think he's gonna, unfortunately.  Also you can tell the difference in the way Karkat treats people below him (Sollux and Aradia) and everyone else (okay and Tavros).

[Zaratustra]

He's friends with the higherups that don't rub their blood color on the others (Gamzee and Terezi - ok he's hatefriends with Terezi but whateva). Basically he's a douche to everyone, but he goes out of his way to bother the real asses like Vriska.

I like that Homestuck Volume Five was priced at $14.13 and that Alternia is priced at $6.12. It's those neat little meta touches that make this comic for me.

[Bongo Bill]

An ultraviolet pigment would just appear black in the visual spectrum, just the same as an infrared one, and it wouldn't cause cancer inherently. Ultraviolet radiation, or at least near-UV, is only mildly carcinogenic because it's highly energetic only in comparison to the harmless kinds.

My chumhandle is artificialGirl. Post yours.

WHERE DOING THIS MAN
WHERE MAKING THIS HAPPEN

[Lobst]

Ah, in on this! crustaceoTiberius, I guess?

Color me impressed! Chat like this is UNREAL. it doens't even HAPPEN. _{most of the time}

[jsnlxndrlv]

Just adopted exigentShirker, not that I anticipate using this all that much. It's pretty bare-bones.

Also you can change your chumhandle and colour at any time just so you know.
In order to communicate effectively (see if someone's online, display chumhandles properly, etc), you'll both need to register each other's correct (as of that moment) chumhandles in the chumroll. After two people are connected properly you can change your info at any time between conversations and it will work just fine.

I find it an impressive testament to nerd power that someone would go to the trouble of recreating a fake chat client from a webcomic.

[Brentai]

I did this just to register a name but I'm not even sure they need to be unique.  What the heck even happens when there's a conflict?

Anyway I'm animusTribunal for now until we collectively figure out a naming scheme that doesn't involved the completely tapped out array of nucleotide pairs.

[Büge]

I chose arcaneGymnast.

[Brentai]

Alternately, for fun, go back and figure out which character you accidentally named yourself after. 

You might not actually want to do this if you're Buge or teg.

[Brentai]

You DEFINITELY don't want to do this if you're Lobst...

...okay well maybe you do.

[jsnlxndrlv]

I deliberately avoided initials that correspond to existing characters. If I'd thought about it, though, I might have gone with umbralGallipot, because RNA sequencing hasn't been taken yet.
