Killjoy

Killjoy is a clown-like demon that is the end result of black magic on behalf of tragic individuals who sought love and closure but instead became victims of violence and injustice before being reborn by Killjoy's magic. In the end, after the deaths of their rivals and tormentors, these people who summoned him paid a terrible price by losing their souls to Killjoy. Thus, Killjoy was born and began to murder everyone he came across, prone to driving an ice cream truck.

Kent McCoy


Kent McCoy is a loving father who when hosting a birthday party for his son finds an old clown costume in the basement of a house he is selling and puts it on when the hired clown can't make it. He's then unable to take the costume off and soon starts changing, upon contacting the previous owner of the costume he learns it is the hair and skin of an ancient Icelandic demon called the "Clöyne" and that dismemberment is the only way to prevent the possession. Once possession has occurred the only way to release the host is to eat 5 children.

No rush! 😂
With the exception of Iceland, the tasks were all quite easy and I was able to use the books for several challenges.
Also, the one positive thing about my chemotherapy is that I am forced to rest more often, which in turn gives me more time to read. And to protect the nerves in my fingertips from damage caused by the chemotherapy, I was advised to knit. So after a break of about thirty years, I've started knitting again and I listen to audio books while I do it.

What are you knitting Caipi, i could do with a new hat & scarf to cope with all this snow we're supposed to be getting 😄😄

I'm actually knitting my first beanie. Need to keep my head warm now that I have no hair. 🙈😂

Have you got snow yet? It's been quite mild here the last few days, over 10 degrees Celsius.

We have had snow a lot last week , an dalthough we think its a lot ( as not used to it ) most countries would laugh at us .
I had a new car early this year and its a bit bigger than last and im struggling to reach the middle 8 inches of ice on windscreen 😄

oh my gosh Janyelou! 8"! (that's what he said hahaha)
I grew up in Minnesota and we were famous for some incredible blizzards, but 8" is till a TON of snow!

oh I miss knitting and crocheting - I stopped bc of my arthritis, but maybe it might help instead of hurting? A beanie is HARD to knit, good work!

For Iceland, I listened to a good one actually, it was avail at my library - All the Horses of Iceland
can you borrow library books from your library Caipi?

Just checking in to see how this team is moving forward. Several teams are making changes in December. Some are planning to stop playing once the competitive challenge ends. Others are playing individually or in pairs (one person quits).
