(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.

"Heh, 'mini'-rescue mission. That does put it in a concise way, sis."
"I agree. It was a success, though."
"Yeah, the others should be here shortly."
Then, Asriel shows up with Giegue. The pair sigh happily at the former's reunion with 6k1.
"Aww.... I love reunions. Although while I don't think we've properly met."
"I think I saw you during the late Detective Gamechanger's party, but we never interacted back then, now did we? Anyway, I'm Dave, and I also consider 6k1 a sister of mine. So, I guess that also makes us brothers, if you want."
"I'm Fira, the dork's fianceé."
"I am NOT a dork!" Dave objects.
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"You are, and don't you deny it."
"Fine, I concede that. Anyway, we're happy to see you here safe and sound, kiddo."
"Oh, and we're happy to see you too, Giegue. Ninten told us about what happened with you before the Halloween party yesterday. We're glad to see you back. Say, where did you find the kid?"
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Arrive
Tabby and Noire enter the portal to the library. They notice Dave knocking on the door and ease and prepare themselves for her.
Tabby notices 6k1 opening the door, her eyes beaming with delight.
"Hello Sixty! Thanks for inviting me to your Voidlands Trip! Do you want me to help you with anything?"
"And Ten? Do you also work with vehicles like me? I’m just curious. I definitely need to change the oil of my ATV."
"The same one we rode to the party?"
"Yeah."
"So, do the new guys want to introduce themselves to her?"
"If they wanna."
She notices Giegue and Asriel at the scene.
"Oh hey, Giegue is here. I don’t think I’ve met the other guy next to him. I’m still a little burnt out."
She then waves to them and puts her arms behind her head.
"So, anyone?"

Deciding to stick with Tabby out of Noire's suggestion that they might get along, Ten goes through the portal, back to the Library.
Back here again... heh, didn't leave for too long, did I? And, yeah, Tabby, I do work with most vehicles, been a while since I touched anything normal though, since I mostly do work for my old race team. An oil change shouldn't be too hard, if you want me to look at that soon.
Ten sees 6K1 at the door, and nods in her general direction.
Adorable? Check. Moral? Check. Sympathetic? Check. He is, in fact, a good boy.

"Pff..."
Scipion sighed as he missed once again the season, with his tributes dying without placing in the Hall of Fame. He was on a seat with Morgan, waiting for the next season to begin. Onox entered the room, holding the shampoo 6k1 offered the Zoroark back in last Christmas.
"Heh. Perfect timing." Scipion said, grinning as he got up and sat on a bed, ready for Onox to style his precious mane.
To the trio surprise, a portal appeared, and from it, emerged Clyde with Edgar and Freddy.
"Holy shit, I can't believe I accepted that..." the Murkrow muttered, intimidated.
"Well, you said it yourself you wanted for Freddy to stop talking about his idol." Clyde answered. Freddy looked at the environment before gazing at Scipion.
"THE FOX OF DEATH!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! GEHEHEHEHE!! I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!! YOUR MANE IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I FIRST THOUGHT!!" the Gengar laughed, shaking the Zoroark's hand.
"...Ok, so what the fuck is that?" Scipion asked, slightly irritated.
Clyde bowed his head and explained to the Zoroark that these two new Pokémons were his new partners.
"So... Let me get this straight. Did mom form another evil team allied with us? I'm not really convinced."
"Well, we have a soulless nerd, a cowardly asshole-"
"Hey! At least I have standards!" Edgar angrily exclaimed.
"Whatever, and... Oh... That's interesting..." Morgan chuckled looking as Freddy kept talking to Scipion. The Morgrem whispered in Scipion's ears, and they both grinned devilishly.
"Hmmm... Fine. Freddy, that's your name? I'll let you style my hair. But be careful to not mess it up."
"Really? REALLY?? THANK YOU, OH GREAT SCIPION!! I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU, GEHEHEHE!"
The Zoroark noticed Onox, looking angrily as Freddy was styling the Zoroark's hair.
"Aaaawww... Are you jealous, Onox?" Scipion puffed, gently hitting his lackey's arms.
"GEHEHE!!" Freddy cackled, showing his big tongue to the Toxtricity. Onox stuck out his tongue back, clearly pissed off.
Database Library
By the time Giegue and Asriel arrived, Dave's group already arrived, soon followed by Kirby's one, much to the alien embarrassment. He noticed unfamiliar faces, but he decided to ask that for later. He smiled when Asriel finally reunited with his sister.
"Well... Ironically, it is the Dark Star out of all people who found him by pure accident. But I am the one who decided to help him, with Scipion's approbation." he explained to Dave.
"I also realized... I didn't apologize for almost killing you back at the Quarters..." he sighed, holding his arm.
Unknown to them, a duo was watching from a mountain far away. One figure was a gigantic owl covered in stone, standing on bones, with a horned mask. The other one, on her head, was a human with red eyes, wearing clothes similar to Asriel with an empty smile.
"I won the bet. You owe me chocolate for that one." they said as the decayed bird grunted angrily.
"You're married like me, you know monstrosity can take many forms."
Kirby
Near the Database Library
Mr. Star flies near 6k1. He then asks her. "Hi there! Do you have any plans, or something?"
Kirby, Bebe, Magolor, and Ribbon approach her too.
"Hi!"
"By the way, Magolor told me that Susie found some interesting documents. They could be important, and we'll probably tell you if we found anything important." said Ribbon.

"Hey, it's alright, Giegue. None of us hold anything against you. You just wanted to protect someone you considered a family member. Trust me, I know how that feels."
"But if it matters all the same to you, I forgive you."
"Yeah, me too."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that future Voidlands trip, even if I don't really that's not coming anytime soon unless the Simulator is ready. But I guess I want to be in."
"You sure about that? The Voidlands is dangerous."
"I'm certain. Not about to miss out on it again."
"Just be careful, okay?"
"I will."
"And we'll keep the information in mind, Ribbon."
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

6k1 continues hugging Asriel and greets the other guests, then leads them to the main area to continue their conversation.
"Hi Mr. Dave..." says Asriel. "I don't think I noticed you back at that party, but if you see 6k1 as your sister, then I don't mind it if you'll be like my big brother!"
"If that's case," says 6k1, "then I'm glad that Fira's gonna be like my sister-in-law!"
His eyes widen. "Really?! Congrats to you two! Wish Mom and Dad would get back together, though..."
"I hope so too, but at least they've patched things up and are now friends!"
"Aww..."
In truth, however, Toriel still isn't ready to forgive Asgore for what happened during the war, but her point still stands.
"And Giegue," 6k1 says to him, "we forgive you for that accident back at Neon Quarters, and I hope you're able to control yourself now. Thanks for finding Azzy, by the way."
She then asks Asriel where he ran off to, and he tells her about his encounter with Giegue earlier today.
"I-It wasn't easy living out there in the wilderness... bad weather, limited supplies, wild animals, the 'Floweys' who might've gotten to me first..."
6k1 hugs him again and pets him the same way Ichi pets Power.
"There there..." she says, "we'll take care of you until you're ready to go home. But... your fur seriously needs brushing!"
"Heh, yeah..."
She also introduces him to Tabby and tells her that Fira and Mr. Star are invited to the Voidlands trip, too.
"And speaking of the Voidlands," she says to Magolor, "this has been bugging me for so long. How did you and Susie manage to get in there without a scratch when almost everyone else got injured upon entry despite wearing Voidlands suits?
"And Ribbon, where did she find those docs? I agree they could be useful later on."
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
An eagle
Billy's Mansion (S127)
Billy sees the paint coming at him. He then has the shielders block the hit against him, but the corrosive paint still wears through their shields even though some drops are deflected or absorbed. Billy thinks that it seems paint have special properties that differentiate it from regular and acidic paint, but he's not sure yet.
Billy then starts to focus on guarding himself with his units, while five others are still used to continue closing the ice, with one unit preparing to fire an ice beam at Power's Stand.
In the meantime, Billy's workers start to decipher the documents and other texts that were found in the Neon Quarters, as well as research other objects they found, like the broken T-Dolls so they could learn more from the tech.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

"Really? I'm your sister-in-law, and vice versa?" Fira says to 6k1, surprised. She looks at the ring in her left hand, then sheepishly says, "I guess I like the sound of that."
"Yeah. And I wouldn't mind considering Toriel as a mother figure either. She's kind, friendly, and just pure lovable. Who wouldn't want a mother like that?"
"Someone who's insane. Like Scipion, probably."
"Point taken. Anyway, I just noticed. You're Asriel, right? Who named you that?"
"Why did you ask?"
"I can't believe I only noticed this now, but Azzy here's the son of Asgore and Toriel. See what I mean?"
".... You know, that's some Skewed Priorities coming out of nowhere there."
"It's Serious Business to me! My bet's either Toriel was surprisingly out of ideas, or Asgore just plain sucks at giving names. Now that I think about it, this reminds me of Hans, actually. He loves giving other people nicknames sometimes when in private. Like.... Ter-Ter for Terra Branford, or Terry (not to be confused with Terry Bogard) for the other Terra we know."
"Mind you, those nicknames are all terrable," Fira says, snickering.
Dave chuckles with her. "That pun was pretty good, I'll admit."
"For real, though. You sound like you've been through a lot, Asriel. I suggest that you take a rest, eat some properly prepared food and not wild food, and the like."
"I agree. Now, then, let's see.... Tabby, Noire, Ten.... where the hay are the others?"
"Heh, you said 'hay'," Fira says, now giggling.
Silence. Then ".... Well, fork."
Her giggling turns into laughter at that. "Never change, you dork."
Dave's Home Base
Hans, still busy at work, suddenly sneezes. He stops.
"Why do I get the feeling that I have been mocked?" he ponders, before shrugging and getting back to work.

(At the Library, Cleo, Wanda, and June bump into the newly arrived Giegue and Asriel along with everyone else.) Oh hey! It's you!! (June says to Giegue.) Glad t' see ya back to your normal self. And nice t' meetcha too, Asriel! I'm June, and they're Wanda and Cleo!
It's quite alright, Giegue. We know none of that was your fault. (Cleo says.)
Heya. Yeah, what Cleo said. (Wanda says. Then she picks up on the mention of the Voidlands.) A trip to the Voidlands? What for?
Somewhere in District 11...
(A video goes live on a Panem social media website. Chip Whistler's face fills the screen.)
Hello, Big City! Welcome to Day 2 of "Chip Whistler Uncharted"! (He says to his viewers (of which there are scarcely any).)
No sign of this...poor lost family yet. (He seems to choke on those last few words for a moment.) But I assure you, we will find them and my reputation will be saved with help from Grime here.
(Captain Grime snarls at the camera.) For the last time, I want no part in your blasted "live-streams"! (He roughly grabs Chip's phone away from him and stomps it under his foot.)
NO! MY BABY! (Chip screams, picking up the remains of his ruined phone.) This cost me 400 dollars! You're paying every last cent!
Oh, boo hoo. Forget the phone and let's keep going! This Eye-Sicle fellow had better keep his promise. (Grime growls.)
(He turns around, and while his back is turned, the childish CEO picks up a rock to throw at the toad general. Unfortunately for Chip, Grime turns around just in time to see the rock flying toward him and hit him in the stomach.) ...You shouldn't have done that!
Urk-! (The toad fires his tongue out at Chip and decks him in the face with it, sending Chip rolling backwards several feet and into a tree. Chip hurriedly checks his mouth.) Nonono...
(His front teeth crack and fall out of his mouth.) NO! WHY YOU-!! (Chip grabs a stick and starts to charge at Grime, who charges at Chip.)
(Before the two can come to blows, however, there is a bright flash between the two. Grime stops in his tracks while the briefly blinded Chip swerves to avoid it and runs into another tree. When the flash clears, what appears to be a small fox steps out of a dark portal in the air. Closer inspection shows that he looks remarkably like Stanford. The main difference is that his eyes are miscolored, he has patches of different colored fur, there is a gap in one of his ears (resulting in the tip of it floating in place), and he has flecks of unknown matter floating in place around him.)
Who are you? (Grime asks.)
(The strange fox looks at Grime.) ...So you're Captain Grime, the Toad Tower general. I thought you had a companion. Sasha?
She isn't here. Yet. (Grime says.) How do you know who I am? Who are you?
I know exactly who both of you are. I am Stanford. The TRUE Stanford. (The fox says.) Excuse my appearance, I'm still trying to figure out a way to fully reverse the effects of my world on my physical appearance.
Stanford? Like the one who works for Eye-Sicle? (Chip asks, rubbing his head.)
... ...Yes. Like that one. (The fox claiming to be Stanford says.) But let me just cut to the chase. I know everything about you both, and I want to make a proposition for you.
Well, uh, you know, we've already got our hands full working for Eye-Sicle-
Shut up, Whistler! (Grime snaps. He turns to Stanford(?).) What do you mean?
(Stanford(?) looks out at the rolling mountains ahead.) I am on a mission to gather all of my counterparts from other universes all in one place. As you might guess, that's a mission that I couldn't even dream of accomplishing on my own. To that end, I'm searching for people to help me who are just as passionate to get what they want as I am. (He looks back at Grime and Chip.) I know what you both want. You want power and respect, but you both have people in your lives preventing you from attaining that, the Plantars, the Greens, and their friends. If you help me, I will make sure that you get what you want. You won't get that from Eye-Sicle.
Excuse me for being skeptical, but what makes you so sure about that? (Grime asks.)
Because MY Eye-Sicle was too weak to help me! (Stanford(?) goes to the portal and moves it around, revealing a bear physically identical to Eye-Sicle quietly (but angrily) tinkering away at a work table in a small apartment-like room with no apparent exit.) He started out helping me with my mission, but he turned on me. He's essentially the main reason why I'm looking for outside help. Can you really trust Eye-Sicle to not back-stab you as well and not reveal that he's using you just to get what HE wants?
(Chip and Grime don't have a response to this.)
I didn't think so. (Stanford(?) holds out two futuristic-looking bracers to the two with an earnest expression on his face.) But I promise you that I won't steer you wrong. If you want to come with me, put these on and whatever you do, do not EVER take them off. They're the only thing that'll protect you from the chaos in my world.
(Chip takes one of the bracers without hesitation, thoughts of getting the Greens out of his hair for good dancing in his mind. Although he does take one as well, Grime still seems skeptical about this and begins formulating a plan in his mind should he get double-crossed.)
Fantastic! If you all are ready, just follow me. (Stanford goes back through the portal. A moment later, Chip and Grime do so as well. The portal then vanishes.)
(There is silence on the top of this mountain for a moment until the silence is broken by Kenny running up.) Stan? Hello? Stan? (He calls, looking around.)
Huh, coulda sworn I heard him up this way. (Kenny mutters. He starts heading back down the mountain.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

"Wait, not all of us are here?! Ah whoops, that was a mistake on my end!"
"Ten, I can change the oil of my ATV on my own. It's just a pain in the ass to do so."
"I'm not really coming on the expedition but I wish all of you the best of luck."
"Glad our party is getting bigger, that's for sure."
"Hahaha, yep!"
Shadow
Gala enters Akumo's room through a portal. She sighs and scratches her head.
"Hey, why did you call me?"
"It's great that you've arrived. I want you to witness the creation of artificial life. A shadow with feelings."
"Which shadow are you are using for that? Y'know, Equivalent Exchange and all."
"Ugh, I'm using mine. Now, let's get this show on the road."
He closes his eyes and starts to extract his shadow from him. It's normally a painful process if you are doing this on yourself. He resists the pain as hard as he could until he finally gasps for air once it's extracted. He then tries to control the shape of the shadow and finally gives it a form different to him.
The newly made shadow is finally made but hasn't gained consciousness. Their eyes open and looks around at Akumo and Gala.
"Hello, who are you two?"
"Finally, wasn't a failure."
"What should you name him? I have Nyx as a suggestion."
"Way too girly for my taste. I already have one."
"Name? I don't have one to be fair. I will accept the name you give me."
"Alright."
"How about Lunwick as your name?"

The Underground's Star
Mett had stayed behind for a short while to text Zoe who to nominate for the season, not realizing that Zoe had already nominated two of her friends' campmates. When he stepped through the portal he looked around in polite curiosity, having always had a soft spot for books and articles. After setting the coordinates in his phone for future reference he then finds the main group.
The man can't help but get a surprised look when he sees the goat boy he nominated so long ago, and even more surprised when he saw he was accompanied by Giegue of all beings. He stayed back to watch how they reacted, but seeing as most of the others didn't find Giegue's presence troubling he eased up a little. He still didn't talk or participate at the moment, preferring just to look around and hear everyone else talk.

Whoa... Power thinks as she concentrates on wearing down the shields, Billy's Stand must be a powerful one, especially if he used it in the Sayaka Mission!
Seeing that she's about to be trapped in the ice, she orders her Stand to drill into it with its horn without detaching it. It flies down and does as ordered, controlling the depth so as not to impale her.

"Well Fira, Scipion may not show it, but he cares about Persephone! And I bet Mom also sees you as an honorary family member Dave, but I wonder how the kingdom could handle this growing family since I'm technically the princess of the Underground!"
"But sis, I'm the real heir to the throne!"
She giggles. "Azzy, even if I'm offered the crown, I'd politely decline it since I'm happy to live here!"
"Alrighty then!"
He facepalms at Dave's comment about his name.
"It's Dad's fault for naming me that! I mean, is there any other reason why he named our kingdom the Underground?"
"Well, if they gave us a baby sibling, would their name be... Torgore?"
Asriel groans.
"I'm just kidding with you, brother!" She giggles as she tousles his fur. "But your name has another meaning: it's Hebrew for 'Prince of God' or 'One Who Helps God', and you were the angel in the prophecy who would free everyone of your kind."
She points to his heart as she says this, and he looks at her with wide eyes.
"Whoa... Anyway, where can I rest? I know the basement is off-limits to visitors, so..."
"You can have my room, Azzy!"
"What, really?!"
"Of course! That's just the general rule here, but you're welcome to stay with me anytime!"
"Aww, thanks!"
Stanford's friends then arrive, too. Asriel hugs 6k1 tighter, feeling overwhelmed by all these new people, but he says hi to them, too. He also spots Mett entering the room and asks 6k1 if he can go talk to him, which she says yes.
Asriel slowly approaches his former nominator and explains everything that has happened to him recently.
"And... is it okay if I stay with 6k1? I was your very first tribute, but 6k1 missed me so much she 'stole' me from you back in Season 14... but then I missed you, too, so I ran back to you after that..."
Meanwhile, 6k1 tells Wanda about the missing Database in the Voidlands and asks if she and her friends would like to join her for the trip.
"But since you're new to this, I've to warn you that you must wear a special suit before entering that realm, alright?"

Mett listens to Asriel's story with interest, and is a mix of amazed and horrified at what the poor kid had to go through. He gets down on one knee to answer his question.
"Of course you can stay with 'em, you're not mine to control anyway. That's your parents job." He jokes with a smile, then writes down a number for him. "If you ever wanna visit just give me a call. I'll have a portal ready for ya."

Giegue closed his eyes and nodded as Dave and 6k1 forgave him, with the latter thanking him for finding Asriel.
"I had to... He doesn't have to suffer as I did." he muttered.
"Voidlands trip? You are going back to that place again?" he asked. Whatever it was, he himself was not going there, after Giygas's fiasco. But the alien made a mental note to inform Scipion about it.
"Speaking of family members' names... Well, Mewtwo one's meaning is obvious, but I have heard that Ori's name means "my light" in Hebrew as well... Now that I think about it... This name makes perfect sense..." he said, looking at his chest.
Back in the mountain, Shriek hissed angrily at the group got inside the library. The enraged owl prepared to take flight towards the library, only to be stopped by a still smiling Chara.
"He finally found the courage to face them again. Well, with a little bit of help... Still, my little prince did grow up..." they pondered, before sighing.
"You might find this strange... But I'm glad for him. Let them be. Sooner or later, we will be reunited anyway. And... I still have a sister to greet. And a lot of things to clarify..." they said, pointing at 6k1, their face becoming disturbing for a moment. Shriek grunted and shook her head.
"Of course, he would be very surprised! After all, I'm not supposed to be here, to physically exist. Not in our timeline..."
Chara gave one last look at her "best friend" and turned towards Shriek.
"Well, I'm satisfied. We should be going. Overthwise, that snake-haired goddess is going to hiss again at us."
Shriek lowered her head in protestation.
"What? They're not the only ones who enjoy puns. Oh... And try not to shriek too loud this time when leaving." Chara said, winking to Shriek.
The decayed owl hissed at Chara's puns but still allowed the first fallen human to climb on her before taking flight to parts unknown.

Well, I'd be up for it. Don't know about everyone else, though. You'd have to ask them. (Wanda looks down at her theropod self.) Do they make suits like that for folks like me, actually? Or Cleo or June or any of us who aren't a human like Jared for that matter? Do we need to ask for custom made suits or something?
District 11/12
(It isn't long before Kenny bumps into Stanford and Joaquin as the two are looking for him.) Oh, there you are! (Kenny says.) Where're the girls?
They went with Dave and the others to 6k1's library. (Joaquin says.) We found that Kafka guy, so the two of us just went to find you before we went there ourselves, pal.
Well, I figure I woulda made my way over there by myself eventually. (Kenny chuckles. He turns to Stanford.) You know, it's funny...I thought you were somewhere up near the top of the mountain on account of hearin' what I thought was yer voice, but I went up there and didn't see you. Did you ever go up that way?
No, I haven't been anywhere near the top of the mountain since we've been here. (Stanford says.) Are you sure you weren't simply hearing an echo of my voice?
Guess that's what it was... (Kenny says.) Sure sounded like your actual voice though.
How curious... (Stanford mutters.) ...Well, Dave left us a portal to the Library open. You two ready?
Sure thing. You know it!
(The three of them begin going back down the mountain where Dave left the portal.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

"Sure, why not? I could join your Voidlands team, but maybe i won't join your trip and just watch you from a station."
"And me, Susie, and Zan Partizanne could join you guys!" said Magolor. "Speaking of which, maybe the reason we don't get adverse effects from the Voidlands is because we're used to weird places like that. Though we did felt a little dizzy after all that. I guess we're not all that immune."
"Susie told me she found them in the Winter's End." said Ribbon.
Kirby and Ribbon then turn towards Asriel and Giegue's direction.
"Hi!"
"It's you again. And who is this little fella?"

"Yeah, I suppose he does."
"And by technicalities, I'm also a prince of the Underground, but I already have my hands full leading my own world."
"Besides, I'm sure the Underground will prosper under someone who has a strong heart and will. Just like you, Asriel. Even if that time will not come until you are ready."
"Yeah. And that other meaning is certainly something. I guess Asgore may not be as bad at it as we think. Although that's still not saying a lot about it."
Fira addresses Giegue. "Well, 6k1 wants to go back there. Try and find the old Database. It was lost somewhere in there. But from the looks of your face, I personally would understand if you don't want to go there."
"I agree. And Wanda, knowing my sister, she probably already has a few suits for non-humans. She can be quitw a bit Crazy-Prepared. And I mean that as a compliment, sis."
"Did you say the Winter's End, Ribbon? I understand then. Just be careful, then."

Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
An eagle
Billy's Mansion (S127)
Noticing the paint, Billy reconstructs the shield to close the gaps. It then gets corroded more but still holds up. That being said, it has so many holes that Billy abandons the shield by recalling it, and instead orders every units to fire bullets at the ice structure.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Hearts breaks Power out of the ice, but gets hit by one of the bullets while drilling. Seeing that Billy recalled his shield, Power orders her Stand to fire magic beams at him and warns it of any incoming shots.

"Of course, you're invited as well, Mags!" says 6k1. "And fair enough, I guess, though that makes me wonder if you traversed Eldritch Locations back in your world... And Susie found these docs at Winter's End, Ribbon? Maybe they could be useful in figuring out what to do with it.
"And Wanda, these suits can reassemble themselves to fit any body type, and your powers will be enhanced thanks to their Magitek! You should credit Billy for the design!"
She asks June and Cleo if they're still up for it and smiles at Dave's compliment.
Meanwhile, Asriel thanks Mett for understanding him and giving him this number.
"I don't have a phone yet, but I'll call you whenever I can!"
He returns to 6k1 and introduces himself to Ribbon.
"And I still have a lot to learn before I can rule on my own, Fira!"
"And I'm glad that Mett didn't mind my nomination of you in that season! In fact, I've since moved on from that problem of mine, and if someone else ever nominates you, I'll be cheering for you, no matter what! And Mett, thanks for taking care of him!"
Asriel smiles, but deep down he's too scared to return to the Arena. Perhaps he could feel safer if there's a way for him to retain his form and power-up without the ring, but even then...

"Alright! Magolor is joining us! "
"I remember the suits, they were ugly as hell but I hope they are at least going to keep us safe or we’ll end up like GC."
She shutters to herself.
"Since I’m not coming along, I could help with preparations if that’s okay."
"Yeah, she makes some goodass waffles."
"I hope someone like Akumo doesn’t crash the party."
"Whadda mean? It’s already crashed thanks to OT!Scipion. God I hate that motherfucker."
"Yeah, he is not my grandfather."
"You know, I could be the main driver on the trip. I’m skilled with cars!"
"Yeah, if I were in charge of this joint, I would say yes."
"I'm flattered really."

An eagle
Billy's Mansion (S127)
Billy notices that Power gets hit by a projectile. With a point, Billy has his Stand counter the beams by firing their own, so that the two will meet and cancel each other, though a unit almost gets hit by the magic beam. For his part though, Billy's Stand also misses Hearts Strong as Horses so far. He then devotes ten of the units into spinning around a center to generate two small, but rapidly spinning whirlwinds that is aimed to hit Power or her Stand and slash her.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Really? That's actually kinda neat. (Wanda says. But then her expression turns nervous.) I just hope my powers don't go completely outta control when I'm wearing the thing. I still don't know how to do everything I'm supposed to be able to do just yet.
Ooh! An adventure with cool suits in another new world sounds fun! I'm up for it! (June says when offered to join.)
I'll go, too. Perhaps my own abilities could be useful for the journey. Plus, I would hate for June and Wanda to go at it without someone else from their group with them. (Cleo says. She hears Tabby mention someone named GC.) Who is this GC Tabby mentioned, if you don't mind me asking?

Power focuses on winning the beam struggle by increasing her beam's strength to push the other towards Billy. She then sees the whirlwinds forming and prepares to have her Stand lift her out of the way, but she has to stay still to maximize her attack.

"Sure thing Noire, you can be our cook!" says 6k1, "while Tabs can drive us around! And speaking of which, I plan to get my driver's license in case we need extra transport since my time machine's only for my work and it can't go in there."
Asriel shudders at the talk about the Voidlands.
"May I stay behind? I think I can fight off whatever creature lurks there with my Hyperdeath form, but I might lose this ring and..."
"It's for the best that you stay behind, Azzy, until we're sure you won't turn into him. We'll find a way to save you first!"
"Alright, thanks...!"
"And Cleo, Detective Gamechanger, or GC for short, was one of our nominator friends. He was... eccentric in his nominations and was the one who discovered the Voidlands."
"Really, sis? That guy who hosted that party found that scary world?"
"Not exactly, but Power told me that he picked up the clues from what Valecor knew about it since that being came from that world and was the first to enter it."
"Golly..."
"GC then invited some of us to explore it to look for answers about the past in hopes to stop Timewrecker, but despite all his preparations... he failed to escape when the Voidlands suddenly collapsed. Thankfully the others got out in time while I was just observing them on my phone... but I had a lot of other problems to deal with before that."
Asriel clings to 6k1.
"Gosh... I didn't know you went through so much, just like me..."
She pats him on the head. "And if I was able to move on from all of that, then you can, too! Again, just remember that we're all here for you!"
"Aww! Anyway, I didn't know him that much, but GC sounded like a cool guy if that party was fun."
"That he was, so we should pay our respects to him."
They both have a moment of silence for him.

District 11/12 Border -> Near The Database Library
Mr. Star then sets coordinates, and the Spacepod spawns it's own portal in front of itself, which the Spacepod then enters. They emerge near the Database Library.
Mr. Star, Kirby and friends, and Bebe then exit the Pod. Magolor arrives at the same time.
"Hi, Kirby! Susie collected some interesting documents, and we're going to study them now."
