And here he fucking is. Scratch has dropped all pretense, and is contacting Aradia directly - but what’s he actually saying here?
AA: ok
DS: [...]
AA: why is he here
DS: [...] articular instantiation. It’s not any of my busine [...]
I think he’s talking about the kids’ session - another ‘instantiation’ of Sburb. He’s being evasive - refusing to elaborate on what the kids have done, as it’s ‘not his business’ to talk about other sessions.
As for the ‘he’... we’ll talk about that in a second.
I also love that this is Aradia’s icon for an unknown handle. She’s so funny.
CAA: the direct effects 0f a scratch are limited t0 the sessi0n inv0king it
CAA: we w0uld n0t experience 0r 0bserve th0se effects fr0m 0ur sessi0n
CAA: but we w0uld experience the c0nsequences
Ok, let me see if I’ve got this straight.
In the human session, the kids trigger an in-game phenomenon known as a ‘Scratch’. This has a direct effect on their session which has yet to be explained - but since this effect is localized to the kids’ Medium, it’s clearly not a portal out of the session.
As a consequence of this ‘effect’, a tear in Paradox Space opens into the troll session. This rift will lead to the death of Snowman, the destruction of the troll universe, the summoning of Lord English, and the sequestering of the trolls in the Veil.
Oh, and since Aradia is getting information from Doc Scratch, literally all her intel is suspect. Any or all of what she says could be misleading, or false.
CAA: in the f0rm 0f that which prevented us fr0m claiming 0ur reward
CAA: he wh0se hand w0uld be f0rced by the scratch
CAA: t0 emerge fr0m hiding
Based on the green lightning emerging from the rift, ‘he’ is undoubtedly an individual with First Guardian powers. Bec and Doc Scratch are the obvious suspects. If it was Scratch, Aradia should be asking ‘why are y0u here’ - but she might not know what he looks like.
But the real dark horse pick - the man we know is heralded by the Great Undoing - is Lord English himself. Scratch could easily have gifted him First Guardian powers, the way he seems to have done to Snowman - indeed, if I were English, that’d be the first thing I’d tell him to do.
CAA: but there w0uld be n0 adequate way t0 prepare
CAA: even with all the f0resight at 0ur disp0sal
CAA: f0r a f0e m0re p0werful than the king we will and have already defeated
CAA: f0r a dem0n wh0 is indestructible
CAA: 0mnip0tent
CAA: and enraged
This is bad news for the trolls, but it doesn’t really narrow down our options.
According to Aradia, ‘he’ is:
More powerful than the Horrorterror King: First Guardians are basically unstoppable, and Lord English seems to eat universes.
Indestructible: Admittedly this gives a slight edge to English, but we’ve seen Bec no-sell a bullet.
A demon: Bec is a devilbeast, Scratch is named after the devil, and English has repeatedly been described as a demon.
Omnipotent: First Guardians are described as omnipotent, so that doesn’t tell us anything more than the green lightning does.
This is 100% deliberate. We’re not meant to know ‘his’ identity just yet.
CAA: 0ur duplicates w0uld buy us time
