Taking a wholly unwilling Erisolsprite with them, the two travel to Derse and try to find Roxy. This causes Jake's own Trickster Mode to be engaged, and he announces that he wants to romance and marry Jane - but not before they go on an adventure. She then travels to LOMAX and tells Jake that she loves him before kicking him in the groin. She then blasts off and leaves LOCAH.Īfter leaving, she enters the land of the cherubs' legendary continents where she turns Horrorterrors into Squiddles and cherubs into Lil Cals. She uses her new power to release a wave of energy that resurrects the dead plant life on half of LOCAH while simultaneously killing the skeletal underlings that reside there, causing them to drop Zillium instead of their normal grist drops. The sucker's enchantments compel her to lick it, engaging her Trickster Mode. The powerup was formally introduced in Act 6 Act 5 Act 1, when Jane alchemizes Calliope and Caliborn's jujus and inadvertently creates the spiral sucker. In the drawing, she is licking a spiral sucker, hinting at its future appearance and role in the story. In that act, Calliope drew a picture depicting Roxy as a Trickster and sent her a link to it. The idea of Trickster Mode appearing in canon was first alluded to in Act 6 Act 3. Trickster Mode seems (kinda obviously, given its origin) to have a connection to the cherubs and their folklore. Instead of their associated color being seen on the symbol on their clothing it is noticeable on their bulging eyes and spirals on their cheeks like those on cherubs.
TRICKSTER GOD SKIN
In both cases, Trickster Mode has become associated with certain alterations in the physical appearance of human characters: their entire color scheme is altered to give them brightly-colored hair and clothes, some sort of object (usually a candy, dessert, or fruit item) is stuck in their hair, and their color-devoid aracial skin tone is changed to Caucasian a peachy color. Characters in Trickster Mode become disturbingly cheerful and have access to powers that alter reality in a surreal manner.
