2022 Halloween Avatar Contest: Gorkon check-in

[Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf]

This thread is for each member of the crew to check in with their new avatar on their profile.

For a check-in to count, each crew member must include a funny quote, quip, or greeting (i.e.- "Trick or treat!") that matches the character or theme.

The more people you have checked-in, the higher your overall score!

Please read these instructions very carefully – missing any step may disqualify your crew!

• Participants must be checked-in to this thread by Monday, October 24 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Avatars must remain in their costumed forms until at least Monday, October 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Do not post anything except check-ins here – no other discussion or joking around, please!
• Players can only check in ONCE per contest.
  • If you're playing two characters on two different ships, you have to decide which ship you want to participate with.
  • Your participation will not count against your second ship. We'll discount the other ship's roster to account for your participation on this ship.
• If you have crew members who cannot access the forum due to accessibility issues, the CO must notify FltAdml. Wolf. 

The second post in this thread must contain the following: 

1. A clear and direct announcement of the ship's theme.
2. Confirmation that your crew followed the "Halloween Avatar Contest avatars uploading process" exactly – use the "Section 3. Check your work" checklist to ensure you've not violated any rules. 

Here's an example:

The Gorkon's theme for this year is classic 80s VHS horror!

We currently have a full-time crew of 10, with 1 secondary (who is taking part on their primary ship). I confirm we have: 

• Properly named all avatar files and uploaded them to the wiki.
• Properly named our category on the wiki.
• Properly categorized our category on the wiki.

After years of research and hard work, we'd finally done it. We'd made it contagious.

Death comes, as Death has always came, but not in the way most suspected of that night, of being explosions and loud ruckus. Death came silent, and swift, and smelling of rotted eggs.

As you lay in bed, your feet dangle out of the covers. You feel a hand grab your foot.

When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, 'tis near Halloween.

Bonnie-kin, bonnie-kin, dressed all in red! Bonnie-kin, bonnie-kin, soon you'll be dead!

" There are three conditions that have to be met in order for a malevolent will to remain in the world after death. An enclosed space, water, and a slow death. One, two, three. In other words, if someone dies slowly, in an enclosed space, with water present, then usually that person’s angry spirit will haunt the place. Now, look at this well. It’s a small, enclosed space. There’s water."

‘You look like death,’ he said, brows furrowed with concern. A wide, wan smile crossed my face, flattered to be recognized, as I hooked him with my scythe and pulled him downward into the abyss.

As a biologist, I love all of my animals. But I sometimes wonder to myself if any of them still remember that they used to be human.
