[SolarSam]

Entering for Alfredo and Toarpe Wincruncher!
Username: SolarSam
Alfredo’s new name: Cecily
Toarpe Wincruncher’s new name: Aisling
Prompt: (500 words max or a comic (10 panels max))

[500/500]

Aisling and Cecily had been in the forest for ages, close to just giving up and going home, when there was a loud noise from somewhere behind them.
Immediately they rushed towards it - unfortunately, what they found was just an unfamiliar kalon, fiddling with some sort of device.

Aisling skidded to a halt, severely disappointed and slightly out of breath.
"Who the hell are you?"
The stranger whirled around, nearly dropping their thing. To his chagrin, they weren't even slightly translucent.
Definitely not a ghost.

The stranger blinked at them.
"...I'm Three. What are you-"
They gasped suddenly, eyes lighting up, and shot forward.
"Are you ghosts??" They asked, attempting to poke his face. He slapped them away, annoyed.

Cecily snorted and Aisling glared at her, then glared even harder at Three.
"No we're not, obviously, we're here to look for ghosts! But you probably scared them all off with your dumb spooky noises!"

He waved his arms emphatically, nearly hitting Cecily in the face.
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"I don't think you can really scare a ghost. They're already dead, so what's there to be afraid of?"
He looked like he was about to start arguing, so she quickly turned her attention back to Three, pointing at what they were holding.
"What's that?"
"It's a spirit box!" They replied, sounding incredibly enthusiastic.
"It helps me communicate with ghosts!! Speaking of - you haven't seen any of those around here, have you?"
They looked at Cecily expectantly. She was trying to find a way to let them down gently when Aisling cut in with a sharp "no" and they deflated slightly.

"Ah, that's too bad. Suppose I'll keep looking on my own then, unless you want-"
"Nope!" Aisling interrupted them, grabbing Cecily by the arm.
She yelled a hasty goodbye over her shoulder and let herself be manouvered away. Aisling seemed to be in a pretty bad mood, she could humor him for a bit.

Once he deemed they were far enough away, he let out an exacerbated groan and leaned his head against the nearest tree.
"I hate that guy." He mumbled, slightly muffled by the wood in his face.

Cecily chuckled. "You're just jealous they have better equipment than we do."
There was no reply. She sighed loudly.
"Come onnn, stop being a mopy idiot and work with me here - we've got a ghost to catch, remember?"

A faint smile tugged at his lips.
"...Yeah we do." Success!
"Well, what are we waiting for than? Let's go kick some ghost butt!"
That got a genuine laugh out of him, and soon enough they were back to exploring the forest, deep into a debate about wether or not kicking a ghost would actually be physically possible.
(Aisling ended up winning that one, by bringing up the crushing argument that ghosts wouldn't be able to walk through walls if they were corporeal enough to be kick-able. Although he did agree that it would be pretty cool if they were.)

Entering for Cement and Jawbreaker!
Username: Ucanthandleme
Cement’s new name: Nymph
Jawbreaker’s new name: Lorn
Prompt:

Explanation: (85/100)
Nymph is quite the character, presenting to others as a calm, tidy and reliable kit, this is reflected in his simple but calming room, with small crafting items and books on his shelve; despite this he is very much a prankster (if you couldn't tell by his brothers graffitied photograph). Lorn, is far more somber and reclusive, his room isn't black because he necessarily likes the colour, rather his eyes are very sensitive to light and bright colours, hence preferring to stay in his room.

Entering for Cashew!
Username: nermal1999
Cashew’s new name: Cashew
Prompt: Design their pet rock!

Short explanation:

A small pebble friend that had been stuck in Cashew's shoe for some time, told by the impression left behind once removed.
The thought that this tiny friend was with him this whole time was just too much for him, how could he throw it away!
So now it's his pet.

[51/50]

[Broccoli_Bento]

Entering for Cashew!
Username: Broccoli_Bento
Cashew’s new name: keep it the same! (Cashew)
Prompt: Design their pet rock!

Short explanation:
He never imagined having a pet rock, but it wasn't until his now girlfriend Chu Chu had thrown the rock with her number scribbled on it through his window.
After that day he decorated the stone and made it it's own little zen garden to rest on.

Entering for Cashew!
Username: Discontinued
Cashew’s new name: Cashew (way too cute to not keep??)
Prompt:


Short explanation:
Frogs and rocks - two interests that Cashew never really grew out of.
So it was only natural that when he adopted a pet rock that it ended up looking a bit like a frog.

Just posting to say that this is now closed! I’ll be judging ASAP!

[Peppermint mist]

Sorry for taking so long to post the results! I spent some time whittling down the entries and I also wanted to give something to everyone who entered but didn’t win anything.

First I will announce the winners!

The winner of Toarpe Wincruncher and Alfredo is shortstop!

I honestly had such a hard time choosing the winner of these two but your story really stuck with me! It was all set up so well with the building of tension to the cliffhanger at the end! Great job, I can’t wait to see what you do with Miami and Tampa!

The winner of cement and jawbreaker is fish-soda!

I loved your interpretation of the prompt! There’s so many cute little details that really speak for each siblings personality and I love how you used what they think of each others side of the room as the explanation - it really fleshes the characters out further!

And the winner of cashew is sweathie!

I was so surprised by the 3D model of Cat! Its such a cute and creative idea and the story to go along with it is so sweet, enjoy Cashew!

I will try and get the gifting forms together as soon as possible and will contact you when I post them!


And now for everyone else, I hope you like my doodles as a thank you for entering!
