Finals (Round 6) Results
The Mouse Joust started with 48 mice competing to win the joust, and we steadily made our way to our final contestants. It's been almost two months of mouse matches, and I hope you had as much fun as I did seeing who made it through.
It was a tough match, with the winner eking out a victory within the literal last five minutes of the poll.
But without further ado... The winner of the Moust Joust...
Wooden Mouse, from "Tomcat Disposables" by Will Wood!!

Mrs. Frisby (Brisby) from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH/The Secret of NIMH came in fourth place, and does not get an official trophy. However, she is a personal favorite of mine, so she gets my love. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

ROUND 1 SIDE A: THE LIBRARY IS THE PLACE TO BE
Tumblr media
LEFT: Oliver from Purrgatory Description: "Type A nerdy librarian. Needs to take time for himself. Just a little guy. Please God make him take a break." "As a former academic, he's timid and polite, but very prideful. He's the self-appointed librarian in Purrgatory, and is dead-set on discovering why every book in the library's collection only repeats variants of the word 'Meow' over and over. Oliver believes that if he can find some sort of pattern or meaning in the books, then he may be able to find an answer as to why everyone has been stuck in Purrgatory so long. He's bisexual, he likes anime, and his closest friend is an owl girlboss."
RIGHT: Mona from Super Lesbian Animal RPG Description: "Mona is the librarian of Greenridge's local library. She gets very fed up with the antics of the local evocation witch, Claire Higsby. After all, she borrows out all the magic books at once and leaves them in her rented meeting room, leaves coffee cup stains on the tables, and just generally makes herself a nuisance. However, Mona is also the source of the game's bestiary. She writes reports and comments on the various monsters that the party encounters... and gets exasperated when she thinks the gang might be making shit up." Mona: "Is this really the best picture we could get?" Claire: "That's just what it looks like." Mona: "Please stop tainting this Bestiary with lies."
