MD 412 - The Fluffy Detective w/ Brigitte Winter

The Fluffy Detective (TFD) was exiled from a heavenly realm to make the world a better place by solving mysteries. They can return home once they solve their final mystery.

TFD wears a classic noir trench coat that’s filled with adorable, cuddling critters that are the bodiless spirits of mysteries that need to be solved. Their power increases based on the amount of unsolved mysteries in the coat.

TFD’s furry face can shift into any of the faces associated with the mysteries in their coat. TFD gains some of that spirit’s memories, mannerisms, and helps them blend into different situations. Strange music plays while the face transformation takes place. Photos of TFD come out blurry, and they have the power to make others not remember them if they wish.

MD 411 - The Candleman w/ Joey Royale

The Candleman appears when the darkness surrounds you and you’re in need of a candle. He’s a waxy fella with a beeswaxed mustache and slicked back hair. He has a ten-foot aura of coldness that surrounds him. His weakness is his susceptibility to melt when near a natural heat source. Half of his face is melted from a previous incident.The Candleman sells mundane and magick candles from the shadows.

Cursed Candles: Wise Wick: Green candle. When lit, it causes underbrush to grow around you. Moon Blossom: Purple candle. When lit, it causes an illusionary night. Bubble Buddy: White candle. When lit, a very niche assistant spokesperson is summoned. Cinnamonster & Spice: Red candle. When lit, it summons a horrible netherbeast to do your bidding. The Glowworm: Neon yellow. When lit, it grows into a long, twisting rope of wax that opens up a portal / tunnel. Candle ‘O Death: Black candle. When lit, kills everyone but the candle-lighter within a ten foot radius (save or die).

MD 408 - Messy Mass of Mice (M³) w/ Andre Novoa

The Messy Mass of Mice (M³) is an intelligent hive-mind swarm of undead mice and trash.

Trash Juice Trail: It leaves an infernal trail of garbage water that magically never goes away until cleaned with bleach.

Aura of Stank: Within 30 feet of M³, or its trash juice trail, you must save or be sickened. Touching M³ transfers an aura of stank onto you until the soiled area is cleaned with bleach.

Swim: It’s a good swimmer, but it contaminates any water source that it goes into.

Weakness: Cleaning products, particularly bleach (sodium hypochlorite - NaClO).
