When
THE MOUNTAIN TIME HURLY BURLY
says “jump,” you’re screwed.
We’re doing a Monday-Thursday thing this week, so use your extra four minutes on Tuesday to test your own alley-jumping abilities.

Ouch. That one panel really sells what I expect to happen if I ever were to try jumping from one roof to another. So, uh, thanks for reinforcing my belief that I probably shouldn’t do that.
“OW MY PRE-EXISTING INJURIES!” sounds like something a Teen Girl Squad character would say while being killed by something.
My thoughts exactly, Xin
But hey we got to see some definitely human girl torso today, so that’s a win. man I was just THINKING about mad cow disease. for like, the first time since they stopped talking about that.
insert antichamber reference here
So I’ve been thinking since this whole Hurly Burly began that the “Characters” page has always just been a hit-list.
Do we need to take the rest into protective custody?
If it is a character’s author that is out to get them, what are my ethical obligations as an audience?
If comes down to taking sides I’m pretty sure I know on which my bread is buttered.
If only Jane had the wisdom of her dear personal friend (and bag of top soil) Xipe Totec maybe she would’ve miraculously survived somehow. But alas it is The Mountain Time Hurly Burly, and Xipe Totec was off getting their nails done or something.
NAR: Roof-to-roof jumping is like door-to-door sales: It made a lot more sense in the 20th century.
Xin: That’s some high praise! <3
Cold: I think about prion diseases enough to make jokes about them twice in the last four episodes. That probably says something about our respective mental health levels, but I don't know what.
Circle: I don't know what antichamber is, so someone else will have to make the reference. That said, without chambers, we wouldn't have chamber music. How would 18th-century aristocrats party in such a world?
Reb: I, uh....Look. I'm not saying the characters page is for enemies of—look, never mind that. Haywood and Marvin died, and they didn't make the page (because I didn't finish writing their entries in time), so just....Ok, you know what? Nothing here is legally binding anyway.
Bear: One imagines Xipe Totec could've softened the blow from the building's edge, but one must also imagine Xipe Totec's weight would've shortened Jane's jump considerably.
Antichamber is a fun first-person puzzle game about warping your perception of location/reality (such as: You encounter stairs going up and down in a stairwell, but they both lead to the same place! But then you can turn around and go back the way you came to go somewhere new! This isn’t a spoiler, it’s like one of the very first puzzles, and in their trailers), but also about using a “cube gun” to place and pick up cubes. Oh, and about collecting motivational posters.
…And although I’ve beaten it twice, I don’t quite know where the opportunity for a reference to it is in this particular page.
“When the MOUNTAIN TIME HURLY-BURLY says ‘jump’, you’re screwed” made me think of it.
Also wait when did Haywood and Marvin die?
Xin: That sounds up my alley.
