Ball: Donkey, [strong 3], [energetic 3] CURRENT TOTAL SCORE: 3
Leeroi picked up Donkey Kong and held him close. He had to win this. It was his last shot at getting a trophy. If he didn't, all would be lost and he would be a failure. He looked at the team before him. Wasn't that... Wasn't that Psykgi's team? They all had stupid funny names that he couldn't remember. Ah, well it didn't matter did it? Because Leeroi was sure he was going to win, and nobody would care about the losers. He tossed his gerbil between his hands, planning his strategy. He supposed, for the initial roll, it was only smart to try right down the middle! It was a foolproof plan. He had perfect aim. What could stop him?
He started chanting quietly to his little gerbil friend, who started squeaking in response. "They're finally here, performing for you! If you know the words, you can join in too!" Leeroi's chanting increased in volume, and he pressed on the gerbil's stomach to roll him up. "Put your hands together if you want to clap," Leeroi stopped and made his roll, continuing the lyrics as the gerball made its way to the pins. "And we'll take you through THIS MONKEY RAP." He added an emphatic "HUH" as the gerbils collided with the other pins. He hit! He hit!
Huh? He hadn't knocked anything over. What? He had such a strong arm, and Donkey was so strong! What happened? Leeroi's face filled with pain. He felt betrayed by his own gerbil.

Leeroi was cool. He wasn't going to give up just yet. Donkey, he just... He just needed some more motivation, some more love... Or maybe he just needed to be thrown harder. That was the easiest solution in Leeroi's head. He grabbed Donkey, stared at him right in the eye, with a face that said "You better not disappoint me." He curled the gerbil up again and gave him another toss. Hopefully the gerbil could accomplish something more this round.
Only, as the gerbil hit the pins, Leeroi was met with the same exact frustrations. "NO," he shouted. "IT'S NOT FAIR!". He reached for the nearest food object and threw it on the ground. Psykgi had brainwashed her gerbils, Leeroi just new she did.

Hivestuck
I've finished! I knocked over [2] pins and my total score is [16].
Leeroi grumbled, ready to give up. Until he had a thought. If Psykgi had brainwashed her own gerbils, what would stop her from brainwashing his? Leeroi gasped. The traitor. Leeroi scooped up Donkey, throttling him. "Wake up!" He shouted, trying to break him free from the redblood's mind powers. The gerbil only squeaked uncomfortably. "Come on Donkey, you can do better!" Leeroi screamed, and approached the pins. Nervously, he tossed his gerbil down the lane.
And he knocked down two pins! He was free from Psykgi's mind tricks. He cheered, despite only knocking two pins down. For sure, Psykgi would have a lot of explaining to do after.
Odette walked up to the lost and found booth, terrified to see the selection that was available to her. She started to sort through the pile, first grabbing a sleek pair of clown shoes. Ugh, no. Tamiya could have those ugly things. Odette seethed a little at the idea that the purpleblood was even participating in this competition. What did she know about fashion? She probably would take these gaudy clown shoes, and willingly, too.
The next item she picked was a plain christmas sweater. Hmm, it'd be baggy on her, but it was pretty cute! It kind of reminded her of Athene, but it wasn't nearly as cute as her. She might hold on to it, if it fit.
She reached for a bottom next, pulling out a sleek hoop skirt. She ooh'd at the result, unfolding it to get a better look. It was huge and fluffy, while still giving off a nice, clean look. Oh, she'd definitely be keeping this one.
She dug through the box once more, looking for one last accessory. Hmm, a pair of sleek suspenders! These would go pretty well with her hoop skirt! She tossed the item over her arm. She gave another look through her outfit pieces, trying to decide what to get rid of.
Odette was putting back those garish clown shoes and trying for something different. Not only could she never hope to walk in them, they were hideous beyond all reason. She shuddered, tossing them back in and searching for something new.
She pulled out a pair of spiked no-heels with a shocked expression. These were lovely, and Odette definitely had enough strength to pull them off. They weren't really her style though, and would they work with her other outfit pieces? Odette wasn't sure. But they were better than clown shoes, that much was certain.
Hmm. Suspenders or skirt... Odette could hardly decide. Vintage or practical, which would she pick? Hmm, well she always wanted a more vintage look, so maybe it was time to step out of her comfort zone a little. She tossed the suspenders back into the box, looking for a new accessory.
What she found was a new pair of suspenders, though new was hardly an appropriate word to use here. These were definitely faded, which made them pretty cute and vintage! Odette was hoping for something a little more different, but these would definitely work!
As cute as they were, these spiked no-heels were doing absolutely nothing for her outfit. Back into the box they went!
She reached deep into the lost and found box, grabbing onto something plush and made out of a swishy material. She pulled them out, revealing a pair of garish moon boots. Odette looked them over, disgusted at first, but then slowly growing to love them. The were a perfect red color, which would be good for showing team pride! She set them down beside her suspenders and her skirt.
Odette had a pretty decent outfit put together. But could it be better? She looked at the moon boots and the christmas sweater, making nervous noises. She had two more chances to get better pieces! She picked up the christmas sweater, throwing it into the box like she was ripping off a band-aid. Covering her eyes, she reached deep into the box for the first thing she could find.
She pulled the item out and opened her eyes, making a delighted noise at the find. It was a spectacularly vintage, faded, ruffled shirt, and it was perfect. Odette put it with the rest of her outfit, picked the items up and made her way to the dressing rooms. Oh, this was going to be so cute!
Ball: Meteor, [strong 4 (+1)], [energetic 3 (+3)] CURRENT TOTAL SCORE: 7
Bowling: To roll, make a post rolling (((gerbil ball + # of pins left standing) x2)d4) The resulting numbers should be separated into groups of 2, and added to the gerbil's stats as following: First set of 2, add to the strong and energetic GerbStats of the ball gerbil. Second set of 2 all the way to tenth set of 2, add to the solid and docile GerbStats of the pin gerbils from 1 to 9 in that same order.
Scoring: Once you have added the rolled numbers to the base scores of each gerbil, writing them as modified totals (+ number) in your mule-given quote, you can now begin to compare. If your ball gerbil's first GerbStat, strong, is higher than a pin gerbil's first GerbStat, solid, or their second GerbStat, energetic, is higher than the pin's GerbStat, docile, then you have collided with the pin, but the pin remains standing. Add +1 to your score. If both the ball's GerbStats are higher than the pin's GerbStats then they have collided with the pin and knocked it over. Strike through the pin on the quote given and add +2 to your score. On subsequent tries, roll 2d4 less for each stricken out pin gerbil as they have been removed from the bowling lane. If your troll is able to knock down all pins in the first round, add +10 to your score. If they are able to knock down all pins in the second round, add +7, and if they are able to do it in the third round, add +3. When you are done your three rolls, attach the following quote underneath your final post.
