After being discovered for his talent for puppeteering, Marinn was thrust into a violent game in which students are pit against each other. Thankfully, he was rescued, and... then was put into a completely different competition. Guess he never gets a break, huh? While he may not be great at fighting, (or interacting with others in general), he'll be sure to put on a great show. No strings attached!

- Songs associated with puppetry, dolls, or strings (including the instruments)
- Songs in the Indie Pop and Bedroom Pop genres
- Songs about/featured in mystery media, killing/death games or whodunnits
- Songs on the "Des on the Air" playlist

The newest hire of Hocatate Freight has found himself stranded once again. Albiet this time, it's somewhere very similar to that planet he was collecting treasure on... if only that mystery interested him. Despite this predicament he's found himself in, he almost seems right at home, eagerly creating new recipies with the "ingredients" that populate the woods. Perhaps this accidental leave from his job is just what Louie needed! 

Or... maybe he was planning to come here the whole time.

DICE 4 FACE 2: Robot Rock-U
Art by: PandaWithPixels [Render], 2D37 [Concept Art]
Bio by: 2D37

Don't have a heart attack now, that hulking mass of metal is none other than the handiwork of the prestigious Professor Ramm: ROBOT ROCK-U! After some modifications and new equipment, he took the underground club scene by storm with his combination of Great Britain's hard rock and the polished sounds of the Brothers' legacy. A performer at heart with the ego to match, ROBOT ROCK-U is ready to start the party; so wipe that mud off your face, make a big noise, and lose yourself to the ROCK!

----------------------------------------
Humanity's attempts to achieve godhood through technology never fail to amuse me, and this participant is no exception. Behind the machine's pride lies a great devotion to his creator and brethren, an admirable trait to have amongst the rest of these fools. At the same time, I find myself perplexed at the events that led to the sudden shift in his journey.

DICE 3 FACE 2 - VineSpoops

Bio by: a_real3am ft. Carmel

Pac-Man's a Dicey Tumble contestant? Not... exactly. From a mysterious maze of unknown creations comes Innyume, ready to hunt down the competition! But this grinning goofball is not alone, as ZE SUPER GHOST is ready to bust it down! (As well as get milk, hide in a burger, curse your dead grandma... you get it by now.) Now, are you ready to see what happens when you're living with a ghost, a rat man, and a single "Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr. ™️﻿ " midi in your home?

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else pop up!
-------------------------------------------
These two perplex me. One is a monster with no clear goal in life except hunting people down, and the other is... "unique". I'm not too sure why these two even decided working together was a good idea, but they seem to bounce off each other well enough. I suppose of all people, I should be the one embracing bonds that just happen by complete chance, huh?

Fly Away to Fantasy Land (Poland)

Boardroom creeps with dead man’s eyes,
Selling poison, selling lies.
Cut the trees, choke the seas,
Count your money on your knees!
Corporate cannibals chewing up the land,
Corporate cannibals’ blood upon your hands.
Corporate cannibals you’re rotten to the core,
Corporate cannibals still screaming “MORE!”
Plastic smiles and plastic deals,
Feeding off the pain we feel.
Hypocrites in silver suits,
Crush the world beneath your boots!
Corporate cannibals chewing up the land,
Corporate cannibals’ blood upon your hands.
Corporate cannibals you’re rotten to the core,
Corporate cannibals still screaming “MORE!”
Corporate cannibals chewing up the land,
Corporate cannibals’ blood upon your hands.
Corporate cannibals you’re rotten to the core,
Corporate cannibals still screaming “MORE!”


CORPORATE CANNIBALS

Somewhere in a distant land, there is a castle so tall and grandiose that its tallest towers nearly touch the clouds of the heavens themselves. In that place resides the Dicey Tumble music project. If you've ever heard of TINTN (There Is No Tournament Name) , you may be right at home! Inspired by KFAD and its fan-content, but this time with no bracket. This project is brought to you by @carmelpart2, and our very lovely backroom that never disappoints! Now, will you take the chance to follow this project? Just a warning, there is no turning back from a campaign.
