I Was Walking Through The Toy Aisle At Target When I Found This Thing And Had A VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

As a kind gift for my fellow ADHD friends; Player? Neurodivergent. Hotel? Trivago.

Summary:

During a 'routine' prisoner psychological intake examination on Carmen Sandiego's favourite little hacker, Maelstrom finds something. Something Player isn't too happy to learn.

--

Alternatively: Maelstrom takes one look at Player and immediately clocks him as neurodivergent

(Made for Player Week Day 4 "I'm happy here in my dark little cave.")

Player, nervous and jittery: Hey, umm... Red? I have a confession, I'm... trans. Carmen, incredibly well-being but with the ignorance of someone who grew up secluded on an island: ... like transformer? Player: Carmen: Are... are you a robot? Player, trying very hard not to laugh:

*offers you some TR as found family*

Summary:

Player can't sleep, Ivy doesn't want to work.

Between the two of them, they can surely figure out some solution, right?

(Alternatively; Player gets adopted)

It’s Player Week time, folks!!! Get your gremlin hackers ready!!! @playerappreciationweek

(Written alt prompt 1, "Get ready to rack up more frequent flyer miles!")

Summary:

Coarse ropes bite into Player’s skin, cloth fabric covers his eyes. His bindings are tough, knotted by expert, practiced hands. He’s not the first person they’ve done this to, and if history repeats itself, he will not be the last. Some have escaped, others haven’t, but both were far more skilled than Player. He’s no operative, he’s no trained thief, he’s a tiny, scrawny little hacker, and he’s- “Oh, calm down, Player!” He squawks as an arm wrap around his neck, inhibiting his ability to breathe as his attacker drags him closer. “You’re being so dramatic!” -Been kidnapped. By his own friends.

-- Or, alternatively:

For his nineteenth birthday, all Player wants to do is curl up in bed and sleep. Unfortunately for him, he ends up kidnapped by two overzealous red-heads.

Carmen: Why are you holding Player up by his armpits like a disgruntled cat? Ivy: He's in air jail for crimes
