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.

No funny gag for this one, I must return to my writing chambers at once.
@playerappreciationweek
Summary:
Carmen is the only person in all of VILE that would care if Player lives or dies. Or at least, that's what Player thinks.

@playerappreciationweek Summary:
When one is in a team, they must make certain... sacrifices. And, sometimes, your team leader doesn't approve of those, but damn it if you won't try. -- Alternatively; Player would very much like to stay behind for everyone's safety. Player is a moron, according to Carmen.

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

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

I finished my Player Week stuff!
... two weeks late, but hey, now I get a nap! @playerappreciationweek
Summary:
When Player announces that he's going to a real party, with real teenagers, Carmen and the rest of their former team are nothing short of ecstatic. Unfortunately, that feeling vanishes very quickly, when Carmen gets a phonecall from him, begging for a ride home.
Alternatively; Player gets mean girl'd.
