DICE 1 FACE 2 - Jigglypuff
Art by: Calebddfwa & Eyecanseeyou
Bio by: Homuueva

Who's that Pokemon? It's none other than the balloon Pokemon, Jigglypuff! Don't underestimate her because of her cute appearance, because this little fairy knows her way around with a mic! From Kanto to Alola, it seems that this one is extra feisty when you don't pay attention! So listen to its melodies closely, because this Pocket Monster knows how to make anyone give it a rest!

THEIR FOCUS SOURCES ARE:

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else pop up!
----------------------------------------
A light, frail little creature that could burst with a single wrong poke. Yet despite that, its attitude and sheer determination in getting attention is somewhat admirable, not to mention its luck in certain competitive environments. It'd be best if I try to keep myself awake when around it, I'd hate to be mocked for any marker related shenanigans...

[R1M1] RESULTS

...

Been a while, huh?

I'm not entirely sure what this is, but I'm supposed to have a lot of music and stuff this week?

...Or, uh, this "indeterminate stretch of time that will be a lot longer than a week due to being with busy with IRL stuff and also the fact that fitting everything planned here inside a week is already impossible to begin with"...

I don't know why we're calling it a *week*, then?

...Regardless, I don't think it's fair to hog all the spotlight, even if I haven't gotten much to begin with...

...I think I'll go talk to the others and see how they're doing.

DICE 6 FACE 5 - The Big Bad Wolf
Art by: Pun
Bio by: Swoldow ft. 2D37

What’s poppin’, what’s shakin’
It’s the wolf that leaves piggies flaking
You better hope he don’t break in
Or you’ll see his maw that’s gaping
He turned nursery rhymes into verses so hard
That any lowly ham who sees him is ending up charred 
He’ll be huffing and puffing on any condominium 
Who will be afraid of him? You once dinner’s up.

THEIR FOCUS SOURCES ARE:
- Jools TV, nursery rhymes, toddler-aimed media & edutainment
(Trapery Rhymes, Don't Watch Mr. Beast, Old McDonald, Johnny Johnny Yes Papa)
(Backyardigans, Thomas The Tank Engine, Caillou, Barney The Dinosaur)

- Trap/its subgenres, 2010+ Rap & rappers Eminem was too afraid to diss
(21 Savage, Young Thug, Migos, DaBaby)
(Masked Wolf, DJ Khaled, Kevin Macleod, Pope Francis)

- Fairy/folk tales, classic literature & folklore
(Sonic And The Black Knight, Shrek, RWBY, Momodora)
(Alice In Wonderland, 1984, Shin Megami Tensei, Spirited Away)

- Canines, pigs/farm animals, villain songs/threats & Will Smith
(Wolf - Siamés, Parappa The Rapper, War Pigs, Bacon Pancakes)
(Friends On The Other Side, Shiny, Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Men In Black)

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else poppin', shakin', cuz he's in a mood for bacon!
-------------------------------------------
Despite his claims, this "bad boy" is less of a threat than he seems
Ever since I invited him, I haven't heard any screams
Even still, past the goofy look is a predator hungry for blood
I'll keep a watchful eye out so no bodies hit the floor with a thud
...Dammit, now he's got me doing it.

CHARACTER REPRESENTED: Gecs Maniac

Think you’re so fucking tough? So fucking cool, huh? Compared to this creep you’ll pale in comparison, and you’d better believe that’s saying something. The master of ghosting you (yes you, specifically) is titled “Gecs Maniac,” and she’s got more than enough experience to prove it. Formerly a nobody beyond her Ghost-type fascination, this freaky broad’s developed a taste for the loud, proud and peculiar, and whether you like it or not getting up in her business will lead to screaming from someone, for better… or, if we’re honest, exclusively for worse.

DICE 3 FACE 5 - Heartsick Blades
Art by: Baffle [Knives], Crack Frost [Shinobu]
Bio by: The Mint Collection

Hello again! Don't think you can get away THAT easily, because the HEARTSICK BLADES are here to stay in Dicey Tumble! Knives Chau and Shinobu Jacobs, both well-trained combatants in their own right, have teamed up with the common goal of proving one thing to the audience AND their former love interests: double cross them and you're DEAD. So don't fuck with them, and be sure you've always got at least a FEW blades on you, or you'll regret it. After all, they’re hoping to make their run quick. Ciao!

THEIR FOCUS SOURCES ARE:

- No More Heroes, Scott Pilgrim & either franchise's creators/contributors/references
(Season Of The Samurai, Black Sheep, Bushido Flow, Ramona)
(Suda51, Edgar Wright, Anamanaguchi, Hotline Miami)

- Hack-‘N-Slash/Beat-‘Em-Up games, comic book franchises & Japanese action films
(Viewtiful Joe, Castle Crashers, Yakuza, Streets Of Rage)
(Akira, Hellboy, The Ring, Marvel VS Capcom)

- J-Rock, Indie Rock, Grunge & Chiprock music

(Okami, Ninja Gaiden, Gintama, Karate Kid)
(By The Sword, Stan, Katana Zero, Love Taste)

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else pop up!
-------------------------------------------
Despite how intimidating they first seemed upon arrival, these two can actually be rather nice if you avoid getting on their bad sides… which makes the fact that people HAVE all the more shocking. I'm glad common ground was found between Shinobu and the subject of her attraction, but if this "Scott Pilgrim" fellow hasn't already changed for the better... I expect to see him meeting with my brother soon enough.

Two Blades, One Goal

Track by: FangTheFreak
Art by: ragnarok

CHARACTER REPRESENTED: Dream Sweet

Between this world and the next lies a realm some know as "Hawaii: Part II." Greeting those who sail these treacherous seas is Dream Sweet, the siren of spirits. And tonight, she's taken a voyage away from her duties to show herself to the living world and bring forth the soothing promises of eternal bliss. (Plus, she has a favor to do for a certain whale.) In the gallows and the ghettos, this siren has seen around, and she'll bring all she can to last in the competition... lest she return to obscure, with so much left to sing. 音楽殺人の自発的な犠牲者にならないでください。
