Life's a party, you're a boy

New TADC OC! They're plural! Their "collective" name is Arlet (named themselves before they were revealed as plural) and their collective pronouns are they/them. There are 6 of them total (yes I know there's only 5 listed here, the 6th one is a secret)

They're based on those little toys where you press a button and their face spins to a different one. The same logic doesn't apply here tho. While their face does spin to change, there is no button to push (tho the heart on their hood alludes to it) so they can't change at will. They switch like how a system usually would

Cy and Rose are both prominent fronters, with Cy being the core fronter. He was the one who came into the circus first (since they were fronting when he put the headset on)

Caine was DELIGHTED to know he got a 6-in-1 human package when he learned they were plural. The rest of the system... not so delighted (except Jolly, they're thrilled)

They also come with a "gimmick" (if you can call it that) of their own: The heart on their hood changes color based on who is fronting, and their body is deliberately white so whoever is fronting can customize the body through to their liking through drawings. The drawings stay however and whoever fronts next might dislike what the previous fronter has drawn on the body (Rose tends to like to draw flowers all over her, Brick wipes them all off immediately)

"That's cute," I said.

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls.
