I mean, caliborn broke his and it SEEMED like some weird magicky jazz was going on.

Oh it definitely was, it is a Juju after all- I’m saying that what happens when the clock ticks is a DISPLAY of the process. It does have magical properties- And the process and the clock are linked, BUT altering the direction of the clock handle to determine the fate of some character is kind of… Weird in general? I feel it’d be something that’s set the moment the Death happens, not the moment the Clock displays it. Like. Is there ANY doubt that Vriska’s death was deservedly Just? Or that Jade’s was? Because they most certainly were textbook definitions of Just Deaths.
