Carmen, after not hearing from Player for a few days: Heya! It's nice to know you aren't dead in an alleyway!
Player, who just woke up to her calling: Same to you???
EY YO, DARK!PLAYER ENJOYERS! GET YA’LLS JUICE!
Summary:
It's been months since Player first disappeared, months where Carmen and the rest of her team were left waiting for some kind of sign, anything that would lead them to Player.
She gets it on top of a Ferris wheel.
--
Or, alternatively: The Ferris wheel scene but with Dark!Player instead of Carmen.
WAKE UP DARK!PLAYER ENJOYERS! I AM ONCE AGAIN BACK WITH MORE!!

Summary:
"If you leave for-" He pauses, Carmen can hear the young hacker suck in a breath as he readjusts himself. His voice comes out strained,” Let's say five- no, ten minutes? I'll be gone, all of your things will be fine. I won’t touch any of your data, you have my word.”
“And I’m supposed to trust the word of a trained…” hacker,” Thief?”
There’s a beat, Carmen wonders how quickly she can pick the doorknob's lock but finding a pin in time would be more difficult… “I keep my word,” Player snaps, but truthfully, Carmen can read Player like a book, can hear just how much his voice really trembles,” Unlike you, traitor.”

Or, alternatively;
A small, injured VILE operative turns up in Team Red's headquarters; their own best friend, Player.
And they have to find a way to bring him home, permanently.
Yet another Player fic, this time for Febuwhump!
TRIGGER WARNINGS IN THE TAGS!
Summary:
"A pleasant little blip sounded off from one of his devices, signaling that the decryption program had finished its job. “I’ve almost got it,” He reported, the smile on his face turning more genuine,” Just hold them off for a little longer, and I can finish-”
Player doesn’t get to finish his sentence. "
Alternatively, Player just wants to help his friends. But nothing's ever that easy,

On paper, introducing Sonia and Player seemed like a good idea.
(made for Player Appreciation Week Day 5)
(made for Player Appreciation Week Day 6)

Day 7 of Player Week, at last!
@playerappreciationweek
Summary for the fic:
"“Z-Zack?” Ivy asked. She took a few steps forward, her eyes bright and terrified. Player snarled. "
Or, alternatively; After being kidnapped, Team Red stumbles upon a very hungry, very vicious vampire... their own teammate.
(Made for Day 7 of Player Appreciation Week)
*While visiting Player*
Zack: Hey, what state are we in?
Player: I want you to look me in the eyes and repeat what you just said.
Player: I just chugged a bottle of NyQuil thinking it was DayQuil so to fix it, I also drank an entire monster.
Carmen: ... is your heart okay?
Carmen: Player, what's this bag of white powder I found in your room?
Player: Oh, that? It's crushed eggshells, for my plants
Carmen: THANK GOD I thought you were doing drugs!
The most underused part of the entire Carmen Sandiego show and fandom is the fact that Player is canadian.
Like... Carmen walks into the kitchen at three AM to see Ivy and Zack cheering for Player, who's chugging a giant ass glass of water to a folk song.
He convinced the siblings that Canadian House Hippos existed for several months until Carmen found out and made him admit they aren't real (they ARE)
And he??? keeps walking out into snowstorms with barely any clothes to get the god damn mail for his mom and his team keeps SCREAMING about it.
*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)
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:
*kindly offers you yet another Carmen Sandiego fic to help advertise Player Week (please go check it out I included a link in the fic)* Summary:
“Just five seconds,” Player pleaded, sounding almost as frustrated and hurt as Carmen felt,” Please. I know you can fight it just long enough to-”
“Don’t.” Carmen warned, again, as the music finally began to lower to a finish. She tried to ignore the subsequent sting in her chest when Player’s expression fell. “Not here."
--
Or, alternatively; In the wake of their capture by VILE, Team Red attends a gala for VILE and their investors, their wrists fitted with the same mind-control technology they've thwarted countless times before. Only this time, Carmen finds herself unable to fight against the orders she's given, no matter what they are... or which member of her team they happen to hurt.
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.
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.
