  • Paranoia Bear
  • PETA Bear
  • Recursion Bear

We ended up starting just after 2am. A few people who had "reserved" space in the game decided to go home and sleep, but others jumped in with Bear ideas on short notice. Kudos to everyone, we had a great group of Care Bears this run. All of the Bears managed to survive all of the encounters up to the final "boss", an extradimensional, non-euclidian alien device, constructed of crystaline latticework, filagree metals, and scintillating beams of light. Great images and quotes:

Paranoia Bear's player (Darius) sitting at the gaming table in a Tin Foil helmet, insisting the entire time that it was aliens. The first to know the Truth is always the first to die. RIP Paranoia Bear.

Geriatric Bear (Android) riding his Cloud Electric Wheelchair to Worcester, insisting that, in his day, they had to walk uphill both ways. And "Geriatric Bear Incontinence Stare!!"

Spike, the Tattoed Bear, (f00f) using his tatoo stare to give form and structure to a malevolent entity composed of entirely of formless, incomprehensible colors... and an eye. And for disabling the alien device with his 'Inadvisable Piercing' Death Stare!

Industrial Accident Bear (cykotek), "It's always a good idea to play it safe with plush borne pathogens!" Also "What out for that.... FORKLIFT!" And "Industrial Accident Bear, 'National Emergency' Death Stare!!"

PETA Bear (nyren), protesting unnamable entities mistreatment of Care Bears, feeding rabid protestors to a dark tentacled monstrosity to give them time to escape "They're People not animals!", and for finally sacrificing his life with the PETA Bear 'Ultimate Animal Emancipation' Death Stare, so that Geriatric Bear might live.

Recursion Bear (mpgalvin),constantly restating of the obvious, and "Recursion Bear Mobius Death Stare!" Nothing quite matches the satisfaction of knowing you've managed to turn a National Emergency Death Stare into an Infinitely Recursive National Emergency Death Stare.

Oh, and I almost forgot Industrial Accident Bear, speared by a beam of light through the belly, reaching forward, grasping the beam with both hands, and dragging himself toward the alien device. Dude, that was awesome!
