Singing my goddamn heart out

Whuh-oh! Looks like a new human has entered the digital realm! And they're...... well-adjusted?

Gloster's more than happy to explain his deal to the rest of the cast: He works for an up-and-coming AI software company (he can't remember the name; weird!). They recently got their hands on the old C&A computers from a group of retro resellers, who were shocked to find an artificial intelligence still running in such a decrepit building. His job is to unpack its code and find anything the company can use.

He loves exploring the circus and dissecting all of Caine's creative decisions, to the point where they have to give him stupid sauce just to get him to pay attention to their adventure. Actually, his one-track mind gets annoying really fast - he has only one response to every question. Like: What was your life like before the circus, Gloster?

He was a programmer! Oh, that's cool. Pomni was an accountant and Gangle worked in fast food, but they did cooler stuff in their free time. What about you, bud?

He was... a programmer? Yeah, so was Kinger. But he had friends, he had a wife, he had a greater life outside his job. What about you, Gloster?

He.... He was...

These are some old Empires SMP oc's. If it wasn't obvious, Kara is my self-insert.

It's a new season of Empires, and Kara has settled in the Pale Gardens. But, to be honest, she's not feeling up to it. The builds, the lore - it's all a bit much. She'll play the game, but this season she wants to stay on the periphery of all the other stuff. Coincidentally, she finds a contract addressed to her deep in the forest, promising to take the weight off her shoulders and take over her responsibility to her Empire. Still a bit skeptical, she agrees.

And then everything goes black.

Enter Pandora: the newly-promoted Harbinger of the Apocalypse. The demons that lurk below have invented a new curse that binds their souls to people; now they can stop possessing trees and actually get some work done! Pandora is the first they've sent up, and her role is to find more entities to possess and prepare the grounds for the coming army.

One problem: she has no idea what she's doing. The higher-ups haven't given her any training due to budget cuts, and other players keep pulling her away from her work to do meaningless human stuff. Okay, she'll admit that jukeboxes are pretty nice. Really nice, actually. She's never heard music before.

G is my current DND character - 5th level in our Curse of Straahd campaign.

This gnomish warlock travels near and far with one goal: becoming more powerful. He's on a path of vengeance, and his only wish is to one day return to his home with enough strength to burn it to the ground.

Despite this, G is very flamboyant. He's a short king with a large and fragile ego, who prides himself on appearances and proper etiquette.

His patron is an eternally-wise efreeti that agreed to grant G its power as long as he followed its guidance and took its name: Williker. He was told to keep his new first name a secret; if someone else could correctly guess it, it was apparently a sign that they were working with the efreeti, and that G could trust them.
