VCR ELECTRIC REMAINS

CHALLENGE #1: LOGO SHOWDOWN
CHALLENGE: Make a team logo.
Image description: An anthropromorphic VCR player is smiling. Xe thinks, 'Everyone calls me VCR. I think that's my name.' Her pronouns are they/xe/she. Xe turns away from the camera, and thinks, 'I don't know what a competition is. But every oppertunity is an oppertunity for friendship! Maybe if I try hard enough, I'll find some new friends along the way. :)' The font VCR uses is Comic Sans. End description.
Image description: VCR looks up at an anthropromorphized version of the Polybius arcade machine. The font that Polybius speaks in is MS Gothic. They ask 'Hi!! Can we be friends? What's a competition?' Polybius grabs VCR and holds them up by the arm. She is faking a smile, whereas VCR is delighted to be picked up off of the ground. Polybius says, 'Hi!! Want to find out?' before throwing VCR face-down across the arcade to her team: an anthropromorphic tin can, an anthropromorphic television displaying the titular character Madeline, an anthropromorphic miniature fan, and an anthropromorphic robot flower planter. The page is titled 'Challenge #1(1): Logo Showdown.' End description.
Image description: VCR extends a paw out to their team, saying 'Hi new friends!! My name's VCR, what's yours?' Pronouns and fonts of three of her teammates are revealed: Madeline's, the television, pronouns are she/her while she uses the font Georgia; Tinerva's, the tin can, are it/hir and uses the font Segoe Print, and G3RMINATOR's, the planter, are customizable to user (any pronouns) and uses the font Courier. The miniature fan, named Tiny Fan, angrily asks, 'And why should I tell you that?' Tiny Fan's font is Gadugi. VCR responds with 'Because we're all friends here! And it would be the nice thing to do. Now if you want to stay friends, you might want to try acting a little kinder. End description.
Image description: Tiny Fan relents, saying 'Ugh, fine.' Tiny Fan's pronouns are revealed to be ey/thon. Madeline asks 'What should we do for our icon?' G3RM replies, 'PLANT.' Tinerva suggests, 'We're Shirt but Sweet. Maybe something with that?' G3RM sadly responds, 'SORRY, FIRST IMPULSE WAS PLANT.' End description.
Image description: VCR smiles and says, 'Okay team!! Sounds like a good plan! They look over their shoulder to see an anthropromorphic, three-legged, pink, horse sillyband standing in the distance. VCR says to her team, 'Hold on, I'll be right back.' After xe makes it over to the horse, xe is seen towering over him, asking 'Hi there little guy!! Are you lost?' The silly band looks terrified. End description.
Image description: the horse silly band sweats, and says 'Um. No.' VCR crouches down to his level and asks 'What are you doing over there?' He responds defensively, 'My back hurts and I don't want to be around my team right now. What's it to you.' VCR says 'Oh, I could fix your back for you!' The horse backs off and says, 'Mm, you don't have to, it's really not that bad.' End description.
Image description: VCR grabs him in one fist, and then stretches him out. After that, she wiggles him. Once they put him down, he leans over ands says 'That is. Marginally better.' There are error signs in the background screaming VCR's name. VCR does not respond to them, and asks 'Want to come back with me to my team?' They let the sillyband crawl into their palm. He says 'Anything's better then my team. Meeba's sweet, but Loveletter gives me the creeps.' VCR says, 'Perfect! :)' End description.
Image description: the horse stands across from Tiny Fan. Tiny fan angrily says 'And what are <em>you</em> doing here.' The horse says, 'What's it to you.' Tinerva says 'I still feel like it's missing something.' G3RM suggests 'Can we do a plant this time?' Madeline says 'Maybe some white on there? It's just yellow.' The horse says 'Hold on, I think I saw something behind one of those arcade machines. VCR reaches behind one of the arcade machines to grab something.' End description.
Image description: Colorful text mimicking the Petscop font says 'CAUGHT.' There's white crayon labelled 'CRAYEAH' with the annotation of 'A lost relic from a forgotten time.' VCR takes the crayon and colors on a yellow shirt. Xe turns around and holds a thumbs-up, saying 'Good work, team!' Xe picks up Tiny Fan, who says 'VCR. VCR what are you doing.' And wraps an arm around G3RM who says 'WHY DO I SMELL SMOKE.' End description.
Image description: A GIF of VCR electrocuting her team while hugging them. VCR and the horse are not effected. End description.
Image description: The horse is back on the ground, leaning over again. He says 'My 401k doesn't pay enough for this. VCR turns away from the camera and thinks, 'My name is probably VCR. And today is going to be a good day. There is an imgur link at the bottom of the image. This link is irrelevant, as the bonus it contains is located below on this page. End description.
NOTE: Imgur link provided is incorrect. The correct bonus is below. :)
CHALLENGE #1 BONUS
MUSIC: We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn
(same music linked on the image)
Image description: There is a noticible color pallete shift to a two-tone cream color palette. An anthropromorphic bapitsmal font is leading VCR towards a power plant in the distance. They have noticable scarring covering their entire body, primarily on their left side. Their font is Times New Roman. VCR asks 'Where are you taking me?' They respond 'I'm taking you to my home.' Xe asks again 'Is it my home too?' Baptismal Font responds with, 'Well, I suppose maybe you'll call it your home too.' Farther down, a disheveled mall is shown. VCR says to herself, 'This isn't home. But it looks close enough.' At the door to the mall, an anthropromorphized version of the task manager applictation is shown standing over the threshold, looking down at VCR. Aer font is Digital Delivery. He says 'What are you doing here. Contestants aren't supposed to arrive to the competition for 11 days. You're the first one here.' They continue, 'Come in from the cold. It's going to start raining soon. That can't be good for your processor.' When she gets no response, she continues, 'You're a quiet one, aren't you. Here, let me just-' Task Manager picks up VCR hamburger-style, and carries xem in. VCR speaks for the first time, saying, 'What's a competition?' Task Manager says 'Oh, it's a game. It'll be a lot of fun for me.' VCR asks 'Will it be fun for me too?' Task Manager says 'Well, I suppose maybe you'll find it fun too.' VCR says 'Do you know how to play cards?' Task Manager says 'I have solitare installed on my system.' VCR says 'Will you teach me how to play?' Task Manager says 'No.' End description.
