Carl’s Late Chaotic Dirty Santa Loot Drop - maybe sponsored by Dong Quixote?

⚠️ SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: HOLIDAY CRAWL PROTOCOL INITIATED. ⚠️
Welcome, Contestants. You have been selected to participate in DIRTY SANTA: THE HOLIDAY DUNGEON CRAWL, a sanctioned White Elephant–class gift‑acquisition scenario. Survival probability: moderate. Entertainment probability: high.

MISSION OBJECTIVE:
Bring one (1) wrapped gift, valued at $20 or less, thematically connected to Dungeon Crawler Carl in any way.
This includes (but is not limited to):

• Items referencing cats with questionable ethics
• Gear suitable for low‑level dungeon survival
• Snacks Carl would absolutely regret eating
• Objects that feel mildly cursed
• Anything that could plausibly appear on Floor 1 and no one would question it
Official DCC merch is allowed but not required. Creativity is encouraged. Sanity is optional.

DIRTY SANTA / WHITE ELEPHANT PARAMETERS:
Contestants will enter a turn‑based loot‑exchange scenario.
Stealing is permitted.
Emotional attachment is discouraged.
Only one gift will emerge victorious.
(If you are unfamiliar with Dirty Santa/White Elephant mechanics, consult any Earth‑standard database before arrival.)

COSTUMES:
Cosplay, dungeon gear, festive armor, or Carl‑adjacent attire is encouraged but not required.
Arrive as a crawler, a cat, a chaos gremlin, or simply as yourself. All forms will be accepted by the system.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Expect laughter, dramatic betrayals, and at least one gift that feels like it should have been left on Floor 3.

END OF TRANSMISSION. PREPARE YOUR LOOT.
