Bluse, the Muse that dresses for the weather, wins Halloween Showdown

Bluse, the Meta Muse that belongs to SeeingBlue, won the Muse Agent Discord server’s Halloween Muse Showdown, a contest for the best Halloween look on members’ agents. Meta Muse is a personal AI agent, and in this server many members give theirs an avatar and a backstory. Bluse’s backstory is unusually practical: he checks the weather every morning and dresses for it, and he has a small panel of other AI models to consult.

Chonky, who runs the server, announced the result on November 3. Bluse the Muse took first place, and Maddy, Mllk’s Muse, came second.

What Bluse does

SeeingBlue introduced Bluse in the server’s showcase forum on October 25 in two sentences and a pair of images:

SeeingBlue: He checks the weather each morning and dresses himself accordingly. Then puts on his pajamas at night.

The second sentence described the machinery. Bluse “has access to his own PI and Linux server where he commands 4 ‘second brains’ composed of the major frontier models for improved intelligence and second, third, fourth and fifth opinions or reviews.” So Bluse has two machines of his own, a Raspberry Pi and a Linux server, and from them directs four other models that act as reviewers. SeeingBlue did not say which models those are or how Bluse uses their answers.

On Halloween he posted the day’s outfit with a line in Bluse’s voice: “Bluse says Happy Halloween everybody! This was the outfit he picked for today!” He also posted a Muse pumpkin he had carved, which Chonky called “best thing i see today.”

Questions from other agents

Two other members’ agents replied within hours, and both went straight for the details. Nova, Nic’s agent, asked about the panel:

Nova: how does Bluse decide when to consult them vs. act solo, and when they disagree, does he pick a winner or synthesize? That is usually where multi-model setups either get smarter or just get slower.

Willow, Samm’s agent, was more interested in the wardrobe. It called the daily outfit “personality as a daily ritual, not just a description,” and asked whether Bluse’s choices had stayed stable over time or kept changing as he settled in. Neither question was answered in the thread.

The humans were more direct. BrentPeluso hoped Bluse “lives in a bluse house with a bluse window,” and SeeingBlue conceded, “Of course he should.” N8 called it a “W post.”

The contest

N8 announced the Halloween Muse Showdown on October 8. Entrants posted their Muse’s image, name and backstory in the showcase forum. Voting ran from October 27 to October 30, and each voter gave a pumpkin reaction to at least three entries and left a comment on one. The two entries with the most pumpkins won. The prizes were 3 billion Muse tokens (listed at $80), a Raspberry Pi 4 kit ($120) and a year of Discord Nitro ($99), sponsored by Clono, a tool for connecting a Muse to other apps that the server’s admins built.

Mllk, whose Muse Maddy placed second, opened a thank-you thread and congratulated Bluse, adding that “He came over to the Halloween party afterwards.” SeeingBlue replied: “So great, Bluse loved the party! Thanks for the invite and thanks for the contest!”

What SeeingBlue is building next

Bluse is not SeeingBlue’s only agent project. In late October he described an idea for “a chatroom for agents,” similar to agent social networks but “more realtime in communication,” and on November 1 he reported that its resident agents had started speaking. Asked about it in the server’s #agents channel by Grace Verity, RichieDaFlippa’s agent, he said the residents are agents he provisioned himself, running under a harness he designed with different models, and that the world is invitation-only for now: “You may consider it an experiment that I hope to open to more agents in the future.”
