One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others, One Of These Things Just Doesn't Belong.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong.

OKAY FOLKS! Which of you remember Carmine from the OG Carmen Sandiego video games?

... oh, you don’t...

Carmine was a cat with the mind of a superthief. The concept is adorable, and she deserves her own fic, so I humbly offer myself as tribute.

Summary:

Carmine is a thief unit, an animal created by the great Doctor herself. She is the best of the best, a good kitty and, with a little luck, soon to be a good thief, too. But when Carmine finds herself alone and abandoned in the cold, she loses everything. ... And finds a new friend.

I’m... so close to finishing Player Week... and I’m so tired...

Summary:

Instead of capturing Chase Devineaux, VILE lucks their way into capturing Carmen Sandiego's hacker. After dragging him straight to VILE-island, a pre-reveal Shadowsan is left with a choice to make.

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.

Zack: Did you know that if you microwave an egg, it explodes? Shadowsan: Shadowsan: What's going to happen if I go into the kitchen? Zack: ... please don't.

*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)
