Not So Friendly Challenger: Cinthia

You hear a sharp whistle and turn around to find the Hustler beckoning you.

Hey, come over here real quick!

Now, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not gonna try and sell you anything. Er, unless you’d be interested in one of these— hey, okay, okay, don’t walk away! Look, I just need you to do something. That little girl that hangs out in the park? Cinthia, yeah? Ain’t seen her in a while. Just thought somebody ought to check on her is all. She heard about what happened to the folks from Ziara last month, and she’s been worrying herself sick.

I don’t know why, I mean, she’s a bright kid and all, but what would that evil spirit thing want with her? Either way, I just wanna be sure she’s all right.

Uh....why are her eyes PURPLE?
All the others had yellow eyes when possessed.....

So. Turns out they're not getting possessed by the guy from the BHH, it's just the magic blue smoke that makes all technology work out here getting some revenge on its captors / creators. :P

Anyway, stupid jokes aside, for those who aren't sure how this works:

Possessed Cynthia has a robot bunny, reminiscent of her new robot bunny building hobby. Kinda surprised her normal image hasn't been replaced with the robot too, unless that's a part of the possession. I was at first wondering how Cynthia fit into the crafter possessor theme when I saw the bunny and remembered she does have that hobby of hers. Kinda a recent addition to her character, though.
Muerte
Uhm, excuse you ? You come near my precious child ?
Nono.

Other (more serious) random thoughts: It's kinda sweet that Cinthia and the Hustler are apparently friends. And I like the lore that she's smart and sometimes likes to build robots.

I knew people would say stuff about her being creepy. I personally didn't think she was that creepy before.
Mabon
@Cassowary @Avel & @jensen thank you!
Pinocchio
Whew, her bunny's gotten more metallic since I've last seen it.
CassieFenix

jensen
@Mabon you missed vanya (january, arctic frost)
Avel
@Mabon The guy who makes the nostalgic pets.
Cassowary
@Mabon You're missing Vanya. Go visit him in his workshop to unlock him.
Phoenix
This explains so much.
That_One_Elf
Nope, she's still creepy lol
Mabon
I think I might be missing one of the possessed challengers - I have Elsie, Vic & Garrett, and now Cynthia. Was there a fourth one so far this year?
Rakumel
Well thanks Subeta, I didn't need to sleep tonight. Or you know, ever.
