Not even slightly! It would be a cop-out if it weren't actually true. And it was already the phrase I had written down for the alethiometer to refer to Jokers with. XD

It *is* almost the same as Jellybean's Speech name. Or is it...?

Alethiometer, who is Jellybean?/What is your name for Jellybean?

Alethiometer, how did that whole thing with the afterlife go, in your opinion?

Re: afterlife, I'll have to think about that one. I predict that the alethiometer will sass you, but I'm not yet sure exactly how.

Self-definition is represented by the alpha/omega, then?

I suspect it will sass me with the truth!

Yes. Alpha-omega:self-defining is a meaning, and it's how the alethiometer refers to Jellybean in particular.

It is more symbol-efficient than "wizard Joker" or "truth wizard Joker" or "candy Joker." And I suspect that things said by the Alethiometer are likely to resemble the Speech more than most languages.

Alethiometer, are you different degrees of cooperative with different askers?
