 "Alright, so this could've gone better, but a teensy snack is better than no snack, right? And since it's this small, you probably won't get fat from it either!" argued Sid, staying positive while Spawnma grumblingly nibbled at the cancerous clump of space-meat.  Feed Spawnma a Micromeatorite.

    The currents brought in an old shoe. Incorporating this into SCRAM's physiology might allow it to walk on land instead of just wiggling. What a KILLRRR find! Use the Sporty Spice to get rid of the Bad Shoe's Awe malus, then force SCRAM to consume it

 The very last Ingredients went down a dozen gullets, changing the Horrors for the better. For the most part. Some of them got real dumb looking!               They smacked their lips (those that had lips remaining) and moved on to the very last phase before the Carnival itself...  At this stage in the event, Getcha Gacha Gotcha wanted stuff to get real cool. As was traditional, things were made real cool by the addition of dangerously experimental drugs.  As part of Training, you may opt to take Horror Gro-rror to double the stat change of whatever you choose! It is definitely safe! For you! Get PUMPIN', kids.

"Wowzers, Spawnma! You look... good? Yeah! Good!" The naive-minded Sid Nedious pondered 'his' Horror's new look while she quad-flexed. "And strong! Maybe you can do all the Lucky Lats this time!" ... She wiped over half as fast this time. Maybe... maybe it didn't have anything to do with strength? Sid shook his head. Couldn't be. "Or maybe not! Guess you did pack on a bit too much weight... Hey, ow, okay, don't bite, you're fine, you're fine! We've gotta get going, anyway! Carnival's soon over!" Lucky Lats (TN 20): 1d20 8 No GRO.

Poet Right now, Burnette is going on a journey To the GRO bottle. On cool couches, in warm saunas, It wants a drink. The lazy horror laughs at me. The evil zone sends its terrors into dark Blues. I think of those strange stars At the center of Slinkers. Animals are very quiet As they are followed by solitary horrors down paths Burnette lies back with his lumbar And surrenders to my voice. It's bare claws are moist With spice. Gro, Lumbar to get +2 Purple

Last day of training, and the Horrors were keen to sneak in any last minute advances they could! Or, you know, lateral movements or terrifying regressions! Whichever, right?               And... time! That was it. The gates, as they say, were open.  Finally, the grand show would begin. The tents were erected in a barren plain in the brownfields of Cygnus-IV's largest remaining population center, going up in a preposterously short amount of time. One day, nothing, the next...  The Horror Carnival was LIVE! The trainers eagerly bustled in, registered their beloved(ish) creatures, and signed up for the final bouts. Per the Rulez, each Horror could sign up for three of the following events.
Sorry for the delay, folks, crawling my way through the rest of the year! Happy holidays if I don't get time to update before Christmas!

"This is it, Spawnma! You can do it! I believe in you!" yelled Sid, secretly crossing his fingers behind his back with one hand while peeking through the fingers of his other. Some of those other Horrors looked... grody. And not in a good way. Good grief, what had they been feeding their poor charges?!

Poet And then I realized that to be more attitudinal I had to be less afraid so I did it… I lost my attitude and gained my victory. Attitude Altitude: 1d100+7 49 Out of the night that covers me, Purple as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever horrors may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of a staredown I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My eyes are bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the awe of the Zone, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the sprice, How charged with punishments the location, I am the master of my horror, I am the captain of my soul. Awful Somethings: 2d50+10 49 Burnette said that it couldn’t be done But I with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't," but it would be one Who wouldn't say so till it'd tried. So it tucked right in with the trace of spice On his face. If it worried it hid it. It started to sing as it tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it! Burnette scoffed: "Oh, you’ll never do that; At least no one ever has done it;" But I took off my coat and I took off my hat And the first thing we knew Burnette had begun it. With a lift of my chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, It started to sing as it tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and it did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done," and you'll do it. Implications Inception: 4d25+2 42

For many of the trainers, this was the first time seeing their competitors. Man, what a bunch of freaks. Unlike their own Horror, which was… well, anyhow. The stands had been set up for a larger crowd than was present, and the voids yawned emptily. Ah, well, this was only the Carnival’s first year. On the other hand, it was hard to muster up a lot of sympathy for a failed corp PR stunt anyhow. Whatever happened in the future, they still had their precious memories with their Horrors! First up: the Attitude Rumble. This event showcased the Horrors’ ‘tude to the utmost. Each of them got ten minutes to pose and preen and show off their sick gains to the crowd. After a thorough examination of each by impartial JudgR androids, an objective score was assigned to each as follows… ATTITUDE RUMBLE posted:

And I made it by the end of this year (where I am, anyhow!) I hope you enjoyed it, even though it was far slower than intended. Remember to vote on your way out, but by all means ask away if you have any questions or comments. And, hey, if want buy me a coffee, check out my Ko-Fi! And that's all there is; there isn't anymore.
