Twilight thinks the walkthrough's greatest strength was the stuff about how getting into the medium. While she certainly hasn't read everything, didn't necessarily understand everything she read, and probably doesn't remember absolutely everything she understood, these three devices are likely her strongest spot.

>TS: Try using an apple with the alchemiter.

It's experimenting time! It looks like Applejack and Rainbow Dash are already trying to figure out what you just deployed next to them by, uh, standing on top of it, but your studies of "Lodestar" give you an advantage. If you recall correctly, the alchemiter is used with CRUXITE DOWELS to alchemize things, but what if you tried placing something on that little reception pillar that isn't a cruxite dowel? Surely Applejack won't mind if you pick one little apple for the sake of experimentation. Careful, now, careful...

===>

Buy some apples!
...is what you're going to have to do now to make this up to her, you bet.

Woah, I wasn't expecting to see a cruxtruder quite so soon, but things look safe for now. Can't wait to hear more about how the game works. The temptation to read more of Homestuck is rising.

>RD : Hey, what's that awesome contraption?
>TS : Go to voice mode and apologize for surprising them. Then explain what you did and warn them for the millionth time not do deploy a cruxtruder.

Whoops also wasn't expecting more pages so soon. My apologizing suggestion still stands though for once the action ends. So onward with the apple ===>

> TS: Be nice and plant the tree back down

[JapaneseTeeth]

Well, I was going to go with ">TS: Replant tree", but that's already been done.

So how about

>TS: Place tree on Alchemiter

[DarkFlame]

>TS: Drop the tree and pick a different apple, pretending nothing ever happened.

[goblinDroll]

>TS: Quick! Hide the tree!
^ Wait. Or this. It's our duty to ensure maximum chaos, after all. ;D

>RD : "So, what exactly is this thing?"
>TS: "It's called an alchemiter."
>RD : "Neat! So how does it work?"
>TS: "...I have no idea."

>TS: Open the Grist Cache. Didn't Rose's journal state that "grist was at a premium" or something like that? You don't want this thing to run out of juice in the middle of your experimentation or something.(Why do I remember that specific line out of every other line in that person's purple-prosed FAQ?)

>RD : This thing has your color scheme. Perhaps it is an apology gift from the red tablety-thing for insulting you earlier, even if it *does* kind of prove its point. Nothing wrong with liking a little recognition every now and then, right? Ah well, you might as well accept its apology, 'cause you're cool like that.

>TS: Check the Alchemy Excursus. You just deployed the Alchemiter, so it's a logical next step, right?

>RD : Since it has your color scheme, it is now yours--or a member of your fanclub--and that means it is your duty to mess around with it and see how it works. If you can figure it out before Twilight, bragging points for you.

>AJ: They're putting things down in your orchard! Well, you don't really mind for now, but sooner or later Dash is gonna have to take that thing home or something, right? After all, she can't just leave her stuff lying around your orchard. It looks a mite heavy, too; how's she gonna get it home?

>TS: If all else fails, you can select the Alchemiter, you guess.

Edit: Ninja'd by author.

>Twilight: Try replanting the tree.

>AJ: SAVE THE TREE! LOOK AT THE POOR THING IT'S SO SCARED! Oh my you are going to have to read this one SO many bedtime stories to make it all better.

[gingerale]

Well, I was going to go with ">TS: Replant tree", but that's already been done.

So how about

>TS: Place tree on Alchemiter

You're allowed to second suggestions. It only makes them more likely to be picked.

[KingTwelveSixteen]

>AJ: AAAAAHHHH! NO! NOT MARTIN! HE WAS SO YOUNG! Quick, SAVE THAT TREE!

[Donut64]

>TS: Replant tree.

>AJ: Demand explanation from TS.

[invertableQuasar]

Twilight: OH NO YOU ARE THE WORST FRIEND AHHHH

Huh, I thought it was supposed to vaguely resemble Canterlot. You learn something every day, I guess.

> Somepony: Wonder where the tree's roots are.

[Iyestorm]

>AJ: Wait, the roots are gone... but that means...

>Everypony: oh nooooooo

[littlequietguy]

> TS: Find someplace nice and secluded for the tree.

[jongyon7192p]

> TS: OH NO! DROP IT! PUT IT BACK DOOOOOWN!!!

[JapaneseTeeth]

>TS: Shake apples out of tree.

[OnBackorder]

>TS: Shake apples out of tree.

Yes, traumatize the sappy fellow. Twilight can make a habit of ruining various flora until her karma meter fills and the plants strike back. Newton's Law style.

Woah, I wasn't expecting to see a cruxtruder quite so soon, but things look safe for now.

Lol, that's the alchemiter.

> TS: Realise you can't actually do anything without activating the cruxtruder.

LOL, I should have clarified. I was talking about seeing a picture of it in the registry list. I'm not as surprised or frightened now since I've irresponsibly read well into act 3, forsaking certain schoolwork in the process, but gaining a wonderful appreciation for the amount of world building that's gone into Homestuck. Things seem slightly clearer now, but I'm still incredibly confused on most fronts. At least I can get a few more references and appreciate some of the differences more. I'm also understanding the daisy chain of clients and servers much better. So right now we have AJ<-RD<-TS<-R and at some point there's gonna be a nice little circle. I'm guessing Fluttershy will be next and become Rarity's server. Then Pinkie will tie together everything she started. Seriously though Pinkie's absence is getting weird, I'm starting to wonder if she's already gone over, but then she would need a server. Well there's Fluttershy, but...hmmm, I don't know. Maybe we'll find out soon.

[JapaneseTeeth]

I'm surprised that nobody's made the obvious

>TS: Put Fluttershy down

joke, what with Fluttershy being a tree and all. ;p

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

...heh. Nice.

>Applejack: You are horribly confused as to whether you should be startled or angry right now.

[Aranfan]

>TS: Recieve letter from Celestia requesting that she deploy the Cruxtruder, and to mail her back so she and Luna know how long it will be until the meteors start threatening Equestria.

[Armok]

> TS: just ask one of your friends to place an apple on the pillar, manually.

or wait, actually let's try something:

> TS: use your normal telekinesis to do it instead.

[Bohandas]

I don't think normal telekinesis works at that range.

[missingEnigma]

>TS: Try to reverse it.
