Eris's Chaos Spinner

The Spinner · Random Effect

Eris's chaos wheel that made one of Carl's active god effects permanent, choosing between a curse and a skill.

Story so far

Because Eris is the goddess of chaos, her proximity effect changes every time a crawler is in her presence. When Carl came into range during Princess Donut's third Atrocity, the roll produced: one current god effect will be permanent. A spinner materialized floating in front of him with only two items on it, "Dick will fall off!" from Meatus and "Level-15 Pied Piper" from Harpocrates.

The wheel's center was a wide laughing mouth with red lips tattooed in the spiral pattern that marks the chaos goddess. It whirled like the Wheel of Fortune while Carl screamed at it, stopped on the curse, hovered cruelly for a second, then ticked over to Pied Piper. The system announced his benefit from Harpocrates was permanent.
