This is precisely why I mention that this juju should be kept away from Jade. Have you SEEN the fandom's conception of godtier trickster Jade? I don't fancy having the entirety of Paradox space becoming corrupt.

I'm scared.

I just had a thought.

Remember when *another* human got "possessed" by an otherworldly force, got incredible powers, and rocketed off the surface of a planet?

Trickster Mode is the inverse Grimdark!

I hope that by being inverse that also means it's more relevant instead of being forgotten almost immediately. This is my favorite powerup in mspa since Sepulchritude.

Here's hoping it's not quite as much of a Starman kind of powerup as the imagery suggests. I wouldn't like to see her abruptly crash down in the middle of something important…

Well Tropy...
I mean, that's almost exactly what's going to happen you know?

What comes after the sugar rush?
The sugar low.



Edit-
I'm suddenly reminded of that sugar rush song in Amazing World of Gumball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7-2Y20Dp5Y#t=16s

Yeah, there's a powerup like that in Kirby too...the invincible lollipop.

There'll be a comedown almost surely (but I know better than to put /all/ my money on it), the question is when? Right in the middle of a DDR duel with Condy? Just before hunting down Dirk? Five minutes after the beta kids arrive? We know too little yet to tell if it's even going to be for laughs or for drama.

I suddenly understand nothing.

I, uh...

what.

*cue Xzibit meme*

First: Did Jane just kill two Horrorterrors?

Second: IS ZILLYHOO THE FUCKING ANTI-GRIMDARK EQUATION?

^No, she didn't kill them. It just turns out that the squiddles are actually the trickster version of the horrorterrors.

I love how this act has turned into some hideous Matroyshka doll of storytelling now that we've entered a subact of a subact of an act.

Um, I don't like where this is going. Is she going to kidnap Jake, dump him on his Quest Bed and lolichop him?

I'm just going to assume she's going to revive the other planets and not do anything sinister to other characters.... >_>
