i think

think

dave might be having a mental breakdown from the fact that he will never have a normal life and he's now been condemned to be a douchey pajama time god for all of ever

The one thing I hope doesn't come out of all of this is that Roxy becomes the instant McGuffin.

It's a term I heard somewhere to refer to a plot device that is designed to instantly fill in plot holes, often inexplicably appearing out of nowhere. What I mean is that I don't want Roxy to become Oh hey, we lost the super mega item we need to win the game? I can make another one instantly, here you go!

The "fix anything with little or no explanation" bit is more of a deus ex machina. A McGuffin is just any item or person or whatever that offers motivation to the plot, and serves no purpose other than moving the plot forward. The briefcase in Pulp Fiction, the artifacts from the Indiana Jones series, the unobtainium (I cringe every time I hear that word) from Avatar.

Apparently Wikipedia has a different definition of MacGuffin than I do.

Deus ex machina is more what I was getting at, I guess.

Edit: Or, you know, Exeres can explain it.

Ah.

Also the person who brings the matriorb back uses the same modus as the one who takes it out

You had it right to begin with. The matriorb is a McGuffin, and if Roxy can conjure one from thin air, then her power would be a Deus ex machina.

The concept is Greek, but the words are Latin.

So I'm thinking since Condy took those two with her servants, that Jake is needed for his God Tier powers too.
He is the Page of Hope.
He equips people with Hope.

Perhaps he is going to give Roxy the hope that this will work, and the new born Trolls the hope for *shit can't think of what I want to say GOD daisies IT BRAIN*?
