CONTESTANT 08 - DAVE STRIDER (Heinousstuck)

Oh shit, it's an cawesome freak of nature. While still the local cool kid with questionable (or questionably ironic) hobbies, Dave Strider has been transmutated into a rancid looking crow-man hybrid. Sure, it's harmless, mostly, but a beast with a sword stuck in their chest did prove themselves to be a thing to worry about at some point. Even with how it acts, there's still one more thing to add- Do NOT listen to whatever it says about the transmutation thing.

CONTESTANT 10 - BADLANDS' GOODBYE

Is anyone there? Well, not really. After years left in isolation and what's practically a post apocalyptic hellscape, Caroline dulled down and became another part of the destructive cycle she resides in- Until finding another machine at some point, left alone, she sought to spare one more life... Until both of them are dragged into an unfamiliar yet strangely benevolent void. But... An escape is an escape, and maybe, finally, they'll get to wake from a nightmare that doesn't feel like a dream.
