Line 33:
* [[Bad Dreams]]
* [[Back-Alley Doctor]]: Dr. Ernest Jacobin.
* [[Battle in
* [[Beam Spam]]: Mortie, when she's performing her act.
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: A lot of the matches ''really'' sound like they've been rigged but the host continually assures everyone that it's just luck of the draw. The term 'the Universe demands it' has become somewhat common to rationalize why these keep happening. However, one theory is that the competitors seem to put a lot of forethought or preparation into future matches. A lot of them will cameo other characters, interweave idea, or have their characters interacting with one another. Because of this, it opens up the possibilities for future rounds.
Line 60:

* [[Deal
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Yomi hates all men because of her abuse from her father and teasing as a child in an all-boys school (which she was forced to attend in disguise.)

* [[Drunken Song]]: Quincy has a nice little mashup on his [http://amilialongtail.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d36u8je/ Round 2 Page 6]
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: Dear Lord, where to begin? Between Bug being basically [[All of the Other Reindeer|abused and ostracized]] by his entire race, Quincy making a deal with a [[Deal
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Ach'M has broken English but can speak his native language, Letenarian, just fine.
* [[Empathic Environment]]: It always seems to be storming, cold, humid, or cloudy in and around the tent.
** It even has it's own dead forest and cemetery.
* [[Everything's Squishier
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]:
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Nic and Sylvi-waaait.

* [[Living Shadow]]: Pretty common, right up there with [[Kill It
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: could have been worse considering that there were ''49'' auditioners originally.
* [[Love Triangle]]: Quincy, Chordata, and Marciannah. The dawning of round two as also brought us Quincy, Chordata, Ach'M.
Line 162:
** Faith, no fear, and 'the Universe demands it' are things you will commonly hear spoken by competitors.
** Originally a horror story, Marci's "little yellow pills" are sometimes used as a joke.
* [[Rhymes
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Kane and Gatling and arguably others.
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: The first time Beta was able to take over Cad's body outside of a hypnotic trance, he killed Cad's adoptive father Henry.
