Diffuser is a contestant on The Wiki Camp 2. They use the power of advanced ultrasonic membranes (and a dinky little fan) to spread the odor of whatever liquid you want around a room. Or you can just put plain distilled water in them. They don't judge.

Appearance

Diffuser looks like a smart speaker, except without the potential for creepy wiretapping. Unless there's secretly a microphone hidden inside of them. Hm. They have a bit of an egg shape, with a solid gray plastic base on the bottom and translucent plastic at the top which lets them show off their sweet RGB lights. Their favorite color is blue, so that's what they have it set on most of the time. They have a hole at the top so they can actually live up to their name, and a mysterious button on their base which does something super mythical if it was the 16th century and we didn't know how electricity worked (it's a power button).

Personality

Diffuser is a bit of the talkative type, likely due to socializing with friends being the only form of entertainment they had while cooped up in the warehouse. They love to talk to other contestants about their adventures, and can get along with anyone who is willing to listen to them! As a consequence, this also means they can be a bit naive, often oversharing or placing their trust on souls they really shouldn't. When they realize they have been manipulated or when someone doesn't listen to their stories, it can take them days to get their self-esteem back in check. So, uh, don't do that.

History

Early life

Diffuser was left on their own at an early age, being stored in an Trickshot warehouse right next to the Trickshot Essentials Wide Ruled Loose Leaf Filler Paper, 200 Sheet, 10.5 x 8 Inch, 6-Pack and the Trickshot Essentials Washable Liquid School Glue, 5 oz Bottle, Clear, 12-Pack (but, for short, they just called them Papery and Gluey respectively).

Diffuser, Papery, and Gluey got to know each other quite well through the years they spent as neighbors in that warehouse. They each hoped that one day Tim Tomatoes and his ethically questionable but nonetheless highly optimized algorithms and logistics would get the chance to bless them with the gift of escape from the fulfillment center's cramped isles and cold metal shelves. In the meantime, they thought up of fun games to play while there weren't any souls around, like Poker (they made makeshift cards using one of Papery's sheets), paper airplane contests (Papery hated this one), and Mario Kart (your guess is as good as mine). They tried to do I Spy once, but soon realized there's not much to spy when all you can see are the packs of toilet paper and trash bags on the shelf in front on yours.

But, one day, something miraculous happened. One of those goofy Roombas which roam around Trickshot warehouses came straight towards Diffuser's shelf. And grabbed it. Diffuser gave their emotional goodbyes, their tears coming of a confused mixture of grief over the separation from their friends, but moreso the joy of finally being able to experience the life promised by those promotional images and copywriting on the packaging their neighbors were wrapped with first-hand. The warehouse worker picked them off the shelf. What wonders awaited for them in the real world? What would be the purpose they were so desperately lacking in the fulfillment center?

In Donut's House

Unfortunately, Donut was the one deciding their purpose. He used Diffuser to spread the Twinkle of Contagion across his house as some form of anti-theft mechanism. If anyone tried to break into his beautiful house, they would be contaminated with a conspicuous glow, identifying them as the culprit in a stakeout a la an ink pack in a stack of money. Diffuser hated this job. Their purpose shouldn't be a tool in the self-servient aims of someone who refused to get over their glory days of hosting some reality show for, like, three episodes. It should be to create communal joy by spreading the nice smells of lavender and eucalyptus essential oils across the world!

So, one day, Diffuser decided to escape their inanimate form and become sentient like the holey pastry which housed them. They were choosing their own path for their life! Escaping Donut's house was no easy feat, especially when its doors were haphazardly designed without any consideration to objects without arms. But Diffuser knew slow and steady would win the race, and through some careful maneuvering across Donut's relatively monstrous bedroom (complete with a racing car bed), living room (all the channels on its TV air reruns of BFDI and The Object Show Movie), and kitchen (it's a kitchen), they were able to escape and begin their new life!

Present day

Today, Diffuser wanders around the world, providing their services to any other objects who need them. They keep a little log of the souls they help somewhere in that reservoir of theirs to remember the small impact they make each day. They joined The Wiki Camp 2 to publicize their nice smells and have fun. Not too bad for a fan that spreads vapor!

Coverage

Challenge 1

Diffuser joins the game, and gets 15th place. Not bad!

Challenge 2

Being a bit of a gamer themselves, Diffuser joins Host to show off their outstanding skills in MvC, the waiting game, the game where you eat a Rotating CSS Cube, and the game where you invite Gelatin to the IRC chat and subsequently get Baby Bloomberg kicked. Oops. Thankfully, their kill count didn't cost their team the game, as Host ended up streets ahead of the competition!

Challenge 3

Diffuser stumbles upon Meeple's website while while trying to find a new phone whose screen isn't seven inches. Getting a bit strapped on time, they submit this as a last-minute Edit War entry. However, MePhone 4 proves to be quite popular with the camp, and ends up getting them 21st place! Where do his limbs go while you're using it?
