(The discussion thread is here
)
Welcome to HGS: Another Side Another Story. It is a roleplay spinoff for the Hunger Games Simulator forum game, akin to both the RP's in the Roleplaying section as well as the ITTs in Forum Games. It tells the story of the Hunger Games in the Arena of Panem, the nominators who sent the tributes, the tributes themselves both in and out of the Arena or even other people relevant to the Games. In addition, it also tells their stories beyond the Arena.
You can jump right in with any character, like your nominator self, your tributes, etc. The structure of this RP will be open-world. Don't worry about not being skilled/experienced enough or being new to RP'ing. Finally, ASAS accepts any skill level or RP style. Other than these, there are some important rules to note, which are:
- No godmodding will be allowed or tolerated here. The offending player will be given punishment depending on the severity.
- Please communicate anything important you plan on another player with the said player first. Don't just execute it without their consent.
- Don't be rude to other players, both out and in-universe. This extends to RP offenses like railroading, guilt-tripping, coercing, or other forms of forcing them.
- This RP is related to the Hunger Games Simulation:Beyond the Possibilities forum game. Thus it will have events based from that game, including the tributes. This means if you want to RP as tributes, please nominate them officially on the thread first, with misses not being counted. This has to be done after an incident with a player who hasn't joined the game itself yet.
- Since this RP is Loose Canon in relation to the main HGS thread, the host's interpretation of events isn't necessarily 100% canon. Every player has the right to deviate from what the host says and go with their own interpretations. If multiple players have their tributes involved in the same event(s), please communicate with each other so that you're on the same page regarding how you see them.
- This RP chronicles the lives of the nominators and their tributes behind the scenes. While dark plots are acceptable, the overall tone of the RP should be light-hearted and comedic. This RP is not a Cosmic Horror Story or action story about defeating evil. It is a Slice of Life comedy with some adventure to it, first and foremost. Our previous RP, Convergence, is not representative of the intended tone, and the grimdark tone of that RP is one of the main reasons it was retooled.
- Nominators and tributes alike can transform into Pokemon whenever they enter a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World (but they can bypass this with certain items/methods or shapeshifting) or via other means outside it such as a season event, Transformation Trinkets, or shapeshifting. The players are free to choose the Pokéforms that best suit their characters and even give them color schemes outside the standard and Shiny colors, but there is a hard rule for this. If you want your character's Pokéform to be a Legendary, Mythical, or Ultra Beast, please ask the RP mods for approval. Outside the Arena, these Pokéforms are still OP, but we want to give leeway for tributes who theoretically can have them such as deities.
- Other rules are covered in the RP guides: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13414403220A81433600&page=1#comment-1

Here's my opening RP post:
Detective Gamechanger's Base
A sharp-dressed man in a green suit and yellow tie is standing by the entrance of the base. He is of average height and has whitish skin, though still a bit darker. He is Billy, one of the nominators and the organizer of the party.
Indeed, after the nominators' returned and settled their problems, they decide to have fun with a party. Billy also sent invites for all the other nominators out there, as well as basically anyone else, including tributes, non associated parties, interested nominators who haven't participate yet, or even those who just wants to hang out.
The place itself in the base is refurbished for party purposes. Fancy chairs and tables are set everywhere for people to relax, as well as put food and other objects for the latter. There's also various collections showcased, including those belonging to the Detective, like his classic cars. Various themes to the base are set too, including detective noir as GC would have preferred.
Billy is now awaiting for other guests to arrive. He is also ready to give them a pleasant surprise during the party pertaining to his nation.

Scipion frowned as Phoebus threatened Vel'koz.
It's maybe because he's a Christian, but seriously? Is he going to annoy every single cosmic abomination he comes across? Unless he has a thing against me in general... he thought.
Unfortunately for the Zoroark, Vel'koz and C'thun fought each other, resulting in Vel'koz's death.
"WHAT??? C'THUN YOU IDIOT!!!!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL YOUR TEAMMATE YOU FUCKING EYEBALL!!!" Scipion roared.
Eventually, Phoebus came back to C'thun and destroyed him with Metabomb and Derena, much to the Zoroark's anger.
While the season was going on, Mikey showed his new mecha.
"...Wow..." Lucian muttered, his eyes shining in awe.
"Gotta admit, it's not bad. Hey Onox! Try to punch that thing, will you?"
Onox smirked and nodded before punching the mecha as hard as he could.

"Unacceptable. Must eliminate. No trace left."

The arrow hits the forcefields, freezing them, but otherwise the attack is blocked like the others, even Onox's punches.
"These should be able to block most physical and elemental attacks," says Mikey, "but I have to upgrade them so they can block magic, too! I would also like someone to summon walls of different materials to test my mecha's punching strength!"
Fira and Hans then suggest to keep the BPC Bus in the Home Base's garage and give it upgrades.
"I'm sure it has the same functions as Ms. Frizzle's Bus," says Carlos, "but you can keep it there!"
"if that's the case," says Sans, "then here's my number so you can call me whenever we can ride on it!"
"And mine, too! I'm sure your phone can reach my bulky one, right?"
Suddenly, Eye-Sicle leaves the Museum, only for Zeeky to explode on him. Mikey increases the forcefields' range to protect the guests, who stare at the scene dumbfounded.
"A-At least this happened at the end of the party instead of during it..." 6k1 mutters.
She then just stares at Phoebus disposing of the bomb during the Feast after snapping and lasering three tributes including C'thun. He then just goofs off like Clopin later that day.
"D-Did he actually learn something from the Detective Agency?"

(As everyone continues to marvel at Mikey's mech, Eye-Sicle gets bored of the performances and steps outside to continue watching the season.)
(As he watches, he sees the sentient bomb seeming to collaborate with a leopard-man to take down a nominator he doesn't recognize. Well, that was different.) Hadn't been for that Wazowski guy thinking he was tryin' to bump me off, I'd be more surprised.
(He continues to watch them as they approach some oafish-looking bear in a tuxedo...standing right in front of the museum...wait, that's HIM!!)
(Eye-Sicle whirls around to see the grinning bomb sitting right behind him.)
Zeeky Boogy Doog!
(One crudely-drawn explosion later, the only trace of Eye-Sicle that's left is the laser sight that was in his eye.)
Whoa! What was that? (Jared cries as the explosion rocks the museum, sending debris flying around (though luckily Mikey's forcefields prevent harm to everyone else).)
(Eye-Sicle's laser sight clatters across the floor until it stops close by.)
...Oh man... (Jared says.)
Did Eye-Sicle just get blown up by someone? (Cleo asks.)
That thing is a part of his head. He must have! (Jared says.)
(Jared and everyone else are too stunned to really know what to do at this moment. Jared pulls out his phone.)
Hey, uh, Stanford? Eye-Sicle...uh...he sort of just got blown to smithereens... (He says.)
Good heavens, are you serious?! (Stanford replies on the other end.)
Yeeeeah. All that's left of him is his laser sight. (Jared says.)
Well, collect it and come back here right away! (Stanford says.) This wasn't something I was expecting to happen at all...
Same here... (Jared says. He hangs up and picks up Eye-Sicle's laser sight.)
Uh...I think we need to go. (He announces to everyone else.)

The forcefield manages to block the Ice Arrow, to Link and Zelda's pleasant surprise. Zelda is already scribbling notes on the similarities of the mecha and the ancient Sheikah technology back home.
"I'm quite sure we can reach out to your phone, Carlos."
"And you know how to contact me and Zelda, so if there's anything you need, feel free to get us."
"We'll be glad to."
Suddenly, an explosion. Eye-Sicle is killed by Zeeky, as it turns out. The group stares at the scene in surprise.
".... That just happened," Dave says.
"Why am I not surprised?"
"You got used to the Games, that's why."
"You guys do what you need to do. We're glad to have you here with us. Besides, the party's wrapping up anyway," the Lord High Protector says to Jared and friends.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Once the others have recovered from the shock, Mikey desummons the forcefields and transforms the mecha back into his wheelchair.
"Oh well, I can just try out its other features some other time! Maybe next time I go to the Arena... but don't count on it."
"And I guess it's time for us to go home, too!" says 6k1. "And speaking of which..."
She turns to the TV and gasps again when Phoebus wishes to be the ruler of the universe, only for the Literal Genie to turn him into a ruler.
"He made it to both the Battle Royale and Death Battle?!"
"congrats to him!" says Sans. "when are they by the way?"
"S143 and when we reach 48 Mass Murderers."
"and how many do we have so far?"
"39, so nine more seasons assuming one MM per season."
"alright!"
"But what about Phoebus?" asks Spike. "Are you gonna wipe his memories? Because he's a knight like Shining Armor, but then..."
6k1 sighs. "I'm sure can he atone for the sins he committed, and I don't want him to forget his studies at the Detective Agency. However... he might want to be data cloned when he returns to the Arena."
"So..." says Ralsei, "you will switch to that after all?"
"It's gonna be hard... but I'm starting to consider it."
He nods. "Okay, whatever is best for both of you."
6k1 arranges with the Science Center for the usual, then proceeds to nominate Angel Wings and Stellar Eclipse, but doesn't have them cloned for now. Spike is a bit surprised by this, but understands her decision.
"Anyway," she says, "we all had fun here, so I'd like to thank Haze for hosting this wonderful party!"
Everyone cheers.

The season is over. Thus, the League decides to recreate two Heartless they find intriguing, and send them to the Arena: the Grim Guardianess, and Sköll.

The orchestra plays one last song as a farewell: a "Rhapsody in Tres for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra".
"Yeah, I think we're all beat as well."
"I'm sure the Dawnshires are tired themselves. Aren't you, kids?"
"Yeah, we can't wait to go home."
"Yeah, so do I."
"The party's been a blast, but we do think we should get going."
"I agree with Link here. We do have our Hyrule to protect...."
"I'm pretty beat myself, and a quiet day in Resembool is what I need."
"If you want to, feel free to visit Resembool sometime! We'll be glad to show you around!"
"I think as much. Resembool is a peaceful place to live in."
"Maybe someday, when we're not busy, sir."
Kain signs something.
"He's asking about if he and Neri are allowed to go with you, Mr. Dave."
"Fine by me. You two haven't caused me much ruckus. I guess I'll arrange a VIP spot."
"Best to do so, dear."
Hans nods in agreement.
Then the two Shadows hurdles in fear. Link signs "what's wrong?" They respond by pointing at the TV.
"Oh boy...."
"Isn't that the Grim Guardianess, the Heartless of Mother Gothel in the KH universe?"
"And Sköll, Prince Hans' Heartless?"
"Yep. Sheesh, they're a piece of work, from what I heard. Let's hope they'll not cause havoc too much. And I'm sure we'll be fine. Hopefully."
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Yeah! It was fun! (June says.) ‘Side from Eyes gettin’ blown up. That wasn’t fun.
Sí. (Joaquin nods.) But it was great hanging out!
Yeah, it was great getting to know you guys a little better. See you around! (Wanda adds.)
Let’s not wait too long until we meet again. (Cleo also says.)
(Jared and the others head out toward Eye-Sicle’s van (which is fortunately still intact). Everyone squeezes in and they head off.)
Eye-Sicle’s Lair
Yeowch, what a way to go. (Miss Ball says once Stanford tells her and Kenny what happened.) I may hate his guts as much as he hates mine, but I wouldn’t wish that on him.
So now what? (Kenny asks.)
Well, we’ll restore him to normal one Jared and the others get back here for one, but first we need to get somewhere with the Greens and the Plantars. (Stanford says.) We can’t let Eye-Sicle know they were here.
(The three of them go back into tribute quarters. Stanford quickly notices that Mike Wazowski has curiously disappeared, but he decides that he’ll worry about that later. He goes up to Bill.) Bill? Have you all decided where to go?
Well, the kids really want to go to where those dragons are from. (Bill says, motioning behind him. Magnus seems to be teaching Cricket some fighting moves while Tilly sits on Delbin’s shoulder as Delbin paints.) Not sure where else we could go, so I reckon we’ll go there. Think the others were discussing going there, too.
Alright, if that’s all settled, let’s all go down to the tribute summoning room and get you all out of here. (Stanford says.) I promise we’ll do what we can to make sure Whistler and Grime don’t do anything funny.
(Everyone moves out to put the plan into action.)

The Walkerville kids all let out a big yawn.
"We're all tired as well..."
"Especially since we have school tomorrow..."
"But at least there's Thanksgiving to look forward to!"
"Thanksgiving?!" asks 6k1. "Well since I'm technically an immigrant, I'm expected to celebrate, but I'm not American by blood, so..."
"You don't have to if you don't want to!" says Carlos.
"As for me," says Spike, "I have to tell Twilight how much I enjoyed this party!"
"While I can't be late for my minion duties!" adds Dry Bones.
"And I better go back to my preparations for the Delta Warriors' next adventure!" says Ralsei.
"WHILE SANS AND I MUST RETURN TO THE UNDERGROUND TO CHECK ON OUR FRIENDS!" says Papyrus. "I BET THEY HAD FUN AT THEIR HALLOWEEN PARTY TOO!"
"i'm pretty sure they did... but paps?"
"WHAT IS IT?"
"i still have somethin' important to tell 6 after everyone has left. you guys can go ahead ok?"
"ARGH, OKAY!"
Carlos snickers.
"But before I go summon the portals for you," says 6k1, "can you please give me the USB, Mikey?"
"Sure thing, mi amiga!"
"And Ralsei, Power and I were wondering... how come you didn't transform into a pony when you visited Power for her watch party?"
"Oh! The magic fountain I use to go to her house protects me from turning into one! Though I wonder how I'd look like as one..."
"Maybe you'd be a cute four-legged goat since they're a sapient race there!"
"Awww!" He blushes.
"And once again," everyone says at last, "we all had fun, and we hope we can do this again!"
They all say goodbye to the others, then go outside with 6k1. She has Perri summon the portals and sees them off while Sans stays behind and Dry Bones goes to the Science Center to have his firebird form returned before he goes home as well.

Bale then departed as well, after saying goodbye to 6K1, he then said his goodbyes to Dave as well.
Bale: I'm going off too, Dave, this whole thing made me miss the Season so a nap for me is in session. Goodbye, see you again, friend.
MG: Stay safe, guys.
MD: ''See ya later, allihaters.
Daffy: Good show, that was. Good show.
Xochi warped all four back into the base at Bale's command, with the quartet deciding to take a well-deserved rest from the recent events.

While the season was going on, Eye-Sicle got ambushed and killed by his own tribute. Morgan cackled at the sight.
"Fortunately that wasn't me..." Scipion cringed.
The season eventually ended. Seeing how eldritch villains didn't work this time, Scipion chose Hades and the Abridged version of Perfect Cell as his next tribute.
"I'm done. I'm going to take a long nap after that... See ya." Scipion said. Dry Lemmy waved to Dry Bones as the Zoroark opened up a portal to the Distortion World and left.
"Well, asides from one or two... nitpicks, it mostly went well! I'm happy to have come, I should visit you more often!" Aaron said as he and his group waved goodbye at everyone and prepared to leave.
Before they could, however, they saw the OT!Scipion (after changing himself, fortunately away from the eyes and nose of everyone), approached 6k1 before she could leave.
"I have seen enough... I will soon be going back to where I was... You are all doing well for now. I'm very glad... But I wonder... You told me, you wanted to go to the Voidlands... Alone...? Or with people, like a big season... An actual arc...?"
"Unacceptable. Must eliminate. No trace left."
Braids From S286 Not Included
6k1 steps back from OT!Scipion, but keeps her cool.
"Originally, it was going to be a solo mission, but then Billy thought of going there, too, so I invited him, Dave, and their tributes for the expedition. Safety in numbers, after all."
"wait a minute, the voidlands?" asks Sans.
"As in the eldritch land that used to be the OT? Yes... I studied it back when GC's group was investigating it themselves, but it ended in catastrophe."
"dang..."
"That's why I'm waiting until I'm absolutely sure that I'm ready for it. It has already been stabilized, but we need plenty of preparations including learning to drive an ATV for me."
"but can't you pilot your time machine just fine?"
"Yes, but it's the only one I can drive, and I'm only using it for my Database work and rescuing tributes who were banished through time."
"but what if they get banished to the voidlands?"
6k1 pauses. Anything can happen in the Arena, even that, and she hopes that she's not forced to save her tributes from that fate in the meantime. And while data cloning can make retrieving their bodies easier, how hard is it to take them out of there?
"Anyway..." she continues, "do you want to join us, Sans?"
"sure thing!" he says. "with my impeccable dodgin' and sneaky bone tricks, i'm gonna give those shadows a bad time!"
"Alright, I'll have your Voidlands suit ready by then! But be warned that you might run into a shadow of your past self there!"
"well if that happens... then i'll teach 'im a lesson!"

"Hey man, wanted to formally congratulate you on the proposal before my squad leaves. You’re doing really well and I applaud you for that."
"Same here, I feel happy for the people who helped me."
She folds her hands together.
"See you soon and congrats again!"
She heads back to where Noire and Pecan are. Tabby greets Noire with a kiss on the lips.
"Augh, all of this romance is making me feel ill. Could we leave now?"
"Yes, stop whining."
They then all hold hands together preparing to teleport out of the museum to where Tabby's vehicle is.
"It's getting awfully late, Tabs? Do I have a place to sleep at your place?"
"Yeah, you can share a bed with me. Just don’t get too uh horny."
"Okay, I can do that under your conditions."
Pecan loudly groans.
"Oh my gosh..."
"Let's go, enough of this."

"Thanks, Tabs. And on that topic, we'll be going as well. See you guys soon."
Deciding that 6k1, Sans and OT!Scipion are best left by themselves, Dave summons a portal back to the Home Base. Then, feeling in the mood to carry his new fianceé, scoops her up bridal style, much to her pleasant surprise. Hans, meanwhile, summons a much larger portal, and brings along the BPC Bus to be taken to the VIP Garage. The group then heads home.
Once there, Hans has the men tow over the Bus to the garage, then bids farewell to the Hylians and Amestrians as they are sent to their homes, before then bringing Kain and Neri to their VIP accomodations, while Dave, Fira and the Dawnshires head to the quarters.
"Now, kids, we're tired and we could use some rest. This is my quarters, but if you want to, you can sleep in there. It's large enough for the both of you."
"Sure, but—"
"It's fine. I can sleep with Mr. Dave here."
"Okay, then."

"The Voidlands? If I remember correctly, you told me it was rather difficult there... Maybe we could help as well." Aaron offered to 6k1. But then he looked as the OT!Scipion leaned down.
"Database... Voidlands... Yes... I know where it is. In the Voidlands. I where it is. I could just bring it to you... No. That's stupid. That's so stupid." he mumbled, visibly trying to think of something. The undead nominator chuckled again, his ears suddenly raising. This time he looked at 6k1 a small spark of excitement in his eyes.
"The idea. It finally hatched within my head! Oh! Yes... Season. I must train... As a future gamemaker, I have to train... I know where the Database is. There are things in the Voidlands, but are there enough...? You'll face big things in the future... Season... One that I could make just for you! When you'll be ready... You'll have to retrieve the Database... From the Voidlands... Take it... From me and the Blights." he proposed.
"..." the Waterblight grunted, staring at its partner, indicating even it didn't expect that.
I'll let the mods discuss and decide about it, but I was wondering if I could have the Blights and the OT!Scipion as the villains of the Voidlands arc, kinda like the League of Evil was during the Neon Quarters's one.
"Unacceptable. Must eliminate. No trace left."

Somewhere, on a mountainside with a glowing view of the ocean, a steel door covered with dirt to blend in with the ground pops open. Out steps a dark-haired man in a vibrant purple hoodie, and his purple tentacled assistant, the former looking confused as the latter explains.
"So, I've been in there for...how long?"
"I don't know actually. Lets just say some...stuff went down. Me and you are the only ones still here. Everyone else went elsewhere."
The man known as Mett sighs as he rubs his eyes. "So to recap, after building up a decent group and building a gigantic warehouse...now I only have my assistant and a cabin?"
"Yep."
"Okay...okay. That's fine. As long as the machine is working, everything's fine. Zoe, make sure I didn't miss anything big that has to do with the Games."
He orders his tentacled assistant as he enters the strangely stable cabin, quickly running to his office and frantically pressing the ON button on a very complicated looking machine.
"Come on, come on...work you big lump of- YES! Oh, thank god."
He slumps onto an armchair as the machine comes to life, looking relieved. Zoe checks her phone as per Mett's request, seeing if he had received any messages or if any events had gone down recently.

Kakyoin eventually gets hit by the attack. As he gets launched a bit with his body taking damage like his Stand, he decides to run into another building through the roof, going into one with a large water tank, but not before firing the usual barrage of Emerald Splash, but this time he aims some of them at the water tank.
Detective Tableturner's Homeworld (S131)
"We actually can't go swords blazing. You have to be perceptive and investigate the situation first before rushing in," Detective Tableturner, before he revealed one of his gadgets, a drone that was silent and could camouflage itself. He then had it scout the abandoned building, while activating his wristwatch to project a holographic screen from it, showing what the drone saw.
Soon, Detective Tableturner saw the criminals relaxing in the top floor by eating pizza and watching TV, their room unusually decorated lavishly and with a vault that most likely stored their loots. Detective TT also saw that they were watching news of a recent robbery that they did in a jewelry store earlier. The detective soon said, "Here's the plan. We will go up there quietly, and storm the criminals in their hideout to take them by surprise." To aid in the raid, Detective TT had already worn special shoes that could muffle sounds of footsteps so the criminals wouldn't be notified. He also revealed another set that he got out from the storage cube and offered them to Phoebus.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Phoebus sheathed his sword and observed the criminals on the moving pictures.
"How does that wrist thing of yours do that?" he asked. "That invention is truly marvelous!"

"Sure thing, Aaron!" says 6k1. "Your squad's excellent teamwork can help us there!"
She's not sure of OT!Scipion's offer, however, but if Hans believes that he could be of help, then why not her?
"After all, you came from that ruined timeline, so perhaps you could be our guide!"
"are ya sure about that?" asks Sans.
"It's a risk, yes, but as long as he sticks to our deal and doesn't do anything funny, he can!"
Somewhere in Panem...
A young goat in a green-and-yellow striped shirt has been setting up camp in the woods since nightfall, using whatever he can find to make it. He finds a fallen log to sit on, gathers some stones and kindling to make the campfire, and makes a temporary bed using golden flowers. Once he's finished, he uses his fire powers to light the fire and sits on the log. He then looks up at the moon and reminisces all the fun times he had with his old nominator.
"Mett..." says Asriel, sniffling, "thanks for taking care of me in your base. You, Zoe, and the others were so kind to me, but... I hope you understand why I ran away from you but didn't return to the Underground..."
He looks at his right hand, where he wears the strange ring he touched on the way to GC's party as a bangle, and puts it to his chest. Asriel remembers when he transformed into his Hyperdeath form in those ruins, and he was excited but nervous when he arrived at the venue. He suddenly burst into tears when he saw Toriel at the party, but he ran towards her and hugged her tight. He spent most of the party making up for lost time with her, but she had to leave because Valecor crashed it.
Asriel begins to cry. He stayed behind to defend his friends from the wretched being, but Valecor decided to temporarily ally with the heroes to stop Scipion from destroying the new timeline. He could've destroyed him right then and there, but instead he shook that off and enjoyed the party until it was time to go home. He had been hanging with his new friends since then, even helping Mett rebuild his base after an attack.
All was well until Mett had other important things to do. Asriel wished that he could hang with him more often, but some of his friends returned to their own worlds, so he started to feel lonely in the base. Not wanting to hurt his Underground friends either, he packed up and ran off to parts unknown.
"Mom... Dad... Frisk... Mett... 6k1... I wish I could see you again, but I might end up turning back into Flowey if I lose this ring..."
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"

Dave's Home Base
The next day in the Home Base, after all is said and done, Hans meets with Richardson.
"How's the party, old friend?"
"It was fun, at least. We got some new company, and some events happen, but it was fun."
Hans then proceeds to recap what happened.
"Say.... how long has it been here in the Home Base? From Bale's party to right now?"
"Almost four months. Our time frame is quite similar to that of Earth Prime, just in case you forgot."
"Yeah, Panem has only had three days from then. It's weird, don't you think?"
"True, our time is weird. To them, no wonder they think the two got engaged so quickly."
"Yeah. Except we both know that they had always been in it for each other; they just didn't know it yet. That being said, I would expect them to not be in a rush to actually officiate a wedding ceremony so soon."
"I wouldn't expect it either."
"Don't want to burden themselves too quickly. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, they're as good as married anyway.
A report then comes in, revealing that activities in another nominator base has been sensed. It's.... Mett's?!
"Huh.... Mett's back? I'm pleasantly surprised. If I recall correctly, Sunset Shimmer had chosen to return back to Canterlot High when Mett had other things to do, and she decided to establish more contact with us instead."
"Well, was it not true that Dave nominated her back in the Original Timeline."
"He did. Anyway, I hope Mett's doing fine."
Hans thus sends a "welcome back" message as a representative for Dave. Hopefully his friend wouldn't mind.
Wonder what is he doing right now.... Ah, probably still asleep, if I know him well. Or making out with his new fianceé. He inwardly snickers.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
The Underground's Star
After spending some time making sure the machine didn't have any problems and would run smoothly, Mett decides to take a well-deserved rest, leaving Zoe to take care of anymore messages and the like. She sees the welcome back message from Dave and respond in Mett's place.
"This is Mett's assistant, Zoe. He's currently unavailable, but I know he'd be thanking you if he was awake. So, thank you!"
Without much of anything else to do, the purple girl decides to start getting ready for her hang-out with Elliot. She decides to leave behind her fanfic notebook after last times little moment, but brings along a sketchpad incase she gets ideas.

At Last
"Well, we’re home now! I’m so beat..."
Tabby goes ahead to her room to get herself out of that bulky costume of hers. Pecan goes ahead to look at her messages mailed to Tabby and herself. None so far but she leaves a message to 6k1, asking about if she needs any help from them in the morning.
Meanwhile, Noire goes to check up onto Tabby. She notices her sitting on her bed, wearing a tank top and pajama pants now. She quietly creeps into Tabby's room and wraps her arm around her shoulder.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, it’s just that today was a lot for us."
"Well, did that proposal make you realize something about taking our relationship to the next level?"
"No, it’s just all of this is going all too fast for them and frankly, I’m going to wait a bit for us to flourish. I just hooked up with you today and I rather take our time. Besides, I’m not 18 yet so there’s no need for us to get frisky now."
"Ah okay, I’m sorry that you feel uncomfortable with that but I understand. How we both cuddle before one of us goes to sleep?"
"Sure, maybe we could spoon a bit. I haven’t tried that yet."
"Alright, let me get out of this tacky thing."
Noire grabs some spare clothes and goes to the bathroom. She later comes out and crawls into bed with Tabby. She pulls Tabby towards her to fulfill her promise for cuddling. Tabby closes her eyes in delight.
"Thanks Noire, you're really sweet."
"You're welcome. Goodnight, baby girl."
"Goodnight and stop referring to me with silly pet names."

Elliot's home, Somewhere on Morth
Elliot, watching a Hermitcraft video on his television, casually hung out on his back as he unwound from another day of work. After a few moments, he texted Zoe his new address down to the Universe code, being sure to stay connected to a VPN as he did so.I'm excited to see you again after so long!! ^^

The Museum
6k1 replies to Tabby that she'll attend Power's lecture tomorrow if possible and also give Mimi her obedience training. She also tells her about her plans for her Voidlands expedition, but reluctantly tells her that OT!Scipion's coming along. However, she carefully explains that his knowledge of that timeline would be helpful, and she'll make sure he keeps his distance as much as possible.
"anything else before we go back to the library?" Sans asks him.
Ponyville
Lyra and Bon Bon snuggle in bed and look at the moon from their bedroom as they reminisce the fun they had at the town's Nightmare Night party. It certainly wasn't the same ever since Luna retired, but Lyra can tell that her old friend Twilight did a great job in helping the Mayor set it up.
"Bon Bon..." she says after a brief silence.
"What is it, my Heartstrings?" she replies, cuddling her fiancée.
"Remember when we used to hang with Mett?"
"Of course, we do! We went on a mission with him but then he had to leave for the Nominator Games!"
Lyra gets up and sits upright on the bed.
"Oh Celestia! It's been a while since we last heard from him! I wonder how he's doing right now..."
Bon Bon also gets up but lies prone instead.
"Why don't we write to him just to check if he's okay?"
"Can't you just call him on your crystal ball? I know M. Bison destroyed mine back in the 10th Anniversary Season!"
"It's more heartfelt if it's a letter, and you can even tell him about your experience!"
"Even my death?"
"If you want to, Lyra!" Bon Bon teases.
The unicorn groans a little.
"Anyway, if we're gonna write to our old nom, then we should also write to 6k1!"
"Why? Because she 'stole' you from him?"
"Technically, he 'stole' me from her in our season! But now that you mentioned it... did she get me back from him not just because I was once her champion, but also because she didn't like tribute theft?"
"Well, I can't say because I was never her tribute, but if Mett didn't mind her nominating you that season, then I'm sure she didn't mind it back then!"
"Thank Celestia for that, Bon Bon! But still, we should get to writing and go to the post office tonight!"
And so they do just that. The two nominators would then receive their letters next morning in Panem.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
The group is in awe at Mikey's creation.
"Well, it can stand against fire and lightning, alright. But.... can it stand against ice?" Link asks, as he takes his bow, and prepares some Ice Arrows. He nocks one, and shoots it.
"Well, I believe we have a place to accomodate the bus, in the Home Base. It's got a pretty large space, and it has some spare parts for modifications and repairs if you need it. But, of course, it's up to you."
"I believe it's near the facilities used to house tributes and VIPs. It's pretty useful for a tour. And hey, we can also modify it for Multiversal travel too!"
