Well maybe if they'd killed the Derse dreamers first, the Prospitians would get the wind up and protect theirs better. Kill off the Prospit dreamers and the Derse ones are presumably eaaaaasy pickins.

And I thought the only way somebody could have killed Jake without leaving any evidence behind (leaving the corpse undamaged) would have to of been performed by a true, cold-blooded professional.

And I was right.

Doubt it. I think this is Maid stuff going on; Aradia could do some weird poo poo before any of that god tier stuff happened, and I'm pretty sure dying on your mailbox doesn't make that happen.

Maybe it was her Quest Mailbox, smart guy :colbert:

That said I don't think this is going to lead to a God Tier either. I wonder if Prospit didn't have prototype towers because Jack already blew them up, or if it's related to the war not having started yet.

The whirlybird was a ruse. It was a Peanuts snafu that killed sweet bro, as it was for Jake.

On that note, I am keeping an eye out for how the foretelling of COMIC #40 pans out for Jack and PM. I'm imagining an evasive but invasive Jack imposing on a furious PM.

It's not so much a godtier symbol as it is an aspect symbol. We've seen those appear even when people weren't godtier, like with Rose and Terezi.

I was going to speculate that Jane had purple blood by some twist of shenanigans and would go sober Gamzee on revelation to which Mom would honor her status as her pale friend and sohohs pp *shhsoo ppip *SSHOOH POP her into submission. Except that's not going to work any more because Jane has red blood.

I still think Aradia's ancestor is going to be important past getting offed by the Condesce.

When CD mentioned delicious circus peanuts I thought the twist would be that Jake was fine because CD stuffed his mouth full of styrofoamy marshmallows. :downs:

I don't think she'd be able to do lifey things if she was completely desintegrated or her head was smashed in (it takes a functional brain to do things, right?), so it's not like she's invincible or anything.

You know the more I think on this Lifey Thing the more I think that being a Hero of Life is less countless revival, and more a Corpsesmooch-less one time revival for the hero. Essentially meaning that Jane's Dreamself will revive at the cost of her Wakingself's life. Or something like that. I mean I can't imagine the game would have in place a method for which a player would be unable to die. How else would that player go God Tier? Or perhaps being Hero of Life simply grants the player God Tier-esque survivability, and since Jane died neither heroically nor justly she will revive.
One also can't forget her title as the Maid. Aradia had the same sort of time powers Dave had, but she used them more to allow the dead to relive the past. She was a facilitator to those seeking respite or answers or what have you. Her vast understanding of time allowed her to deftly navigate the many twists, turns, and off shoots created through Paradox Space. How this will play out for Jane is interesting, as it could very well mean that she will be a facilitator for those that are dead. Perhaps any corpse she smooches comes to life? It seems to be the best bet for Wayward Vagabond getting help in the new session.
I guess the real question would then be, are severed and sloppily made-out heads enough for a Maid of Life Corpsesmooch revival?

E: and if so, just how long will it be before that particular part of the fandom starts churning out vast amounts of horrible Jane necrophilia porn?

Aradia did mention that Dave was a combat class, most likely the Hero's class affects their attribute. So if Aradia's powers are more for support being a Maid, Jane's powers could be less offensive and more defensive.

What that will actually mean in the comic, I have no idea though!
