(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.

Freyja raised an eyebrow at Knox's explanation. It seemed it wasn't just his bloodlust who made him attack Stanford
"I won't tell the nominators. But that lunatic's bullshit and your recklessness almost got you and Colby killed by the idiot Zoroark. I know you like to fight and I told you to be on your guard with your partners. But so far, we have to admit that the bird restrained you for your safety as well as your crew." Freyja sighed.
The Blaziken then noticed the others' conversation about what to do with the thieves.
"You should join the others. They're talking about you eight and I'm pretty sure you have your word to say about it. You're the 'Brijes leader." she urged.
Back with the others, Nyx shook her head.
"Even though we helped the thieves, we weren't at the library. I don't think the Blights will come for us if they do. All I ask is that you let me and Freyja go peacefully." Nyx said.
"I am truly not sure about this idea..." James said, crossing his arms. Like Kenny and Stanford, he was very suspicious of the thieves and of letting the Ember Empress go. But the Inteleon decided to keep his word. Asides from Knox and Freyja, the other thieves didn't look that evil to him.
"You don't want to come with the other thieves?" Aaron asked Nyx.
"I won't lie, I do like them. But I and Freyja would rather go on our own. And I know Freyja, she is the solitary type."
"Oh... If you say so. I'm willing to let you go this time."
"Fair enough by me."
Aaron then turned to the thieves.
"I guess you can go wherever you want. If you need it, we could arrange to have the Expedition Society HQ in our world prepare for some of you." the Lucario proposed.
Lucian shyly nodded, though he still stood behind, intimidated by the 'Brijes Alebrijes form.
"Well, if there is nothing else urgent to do, I propose we indeed go back to our respective home and watch out for any signs of the Blight Ganons for those who'll keep our guests around." James said as the Pokémons (save Onox who still stared at Scipion on his shoulder) cheered with the others.
Underground
Giegue nodded at Flowey's explanation, though he wondered where they could possibly find a SOUL without killing somebody.

Jace gets rudely woken up at night by one of his bigger spiders. "Ugh...what is it?" He goes to the living room and checks his phone, whereupon he stumbles upon something horrific.
Themed Season: Ghost Season.
Warning: Mass Group Tribute Detected.
"Ohhhh shit..." Jace quickly reports to Libre about this.
The Moon Goddess and The Flesh Hive
Moona stirs a bit whilst sleeping, wakes up, and sees Ollie sleeping near her, alongside some worms resting. "...Ollie?" "[wakes up] Moona-senpai?" "...Are you still yourself?" "O-...of course we are-" Moona immediately gets suspicious over Ollie's wording. "...I'm not sure if I can trust you if it's indicative that the worms have taken parts of you." "What do you mean?" "You used "we" which is normally plural - it's like those worms have become a part of yourself that's...inseperable or something."
Ollie pauses for a moment. "I'm scared..." She tries to get close to hug Moona, but the latter stops her. "...not with those worms, please."

Libre gets a notification from Jace of...the tributes of the upcoming season. "A-all-...THAT'S SO MANY NOMINATED AS A SINGLE TRIB-" He runs up to Alphys for some help. "Alphys what the fuck kinda tribute did I just saw there!?"

Somewhere, just outside of the main reality, a swirling mass of fear moves about. Something in there is saying...things.

Aaron also checked the season to see the tributes and rolled his eyes at one specifical one.
"Well... Believe it or not, but there's actually worst. At least everything wasn't nominated." Aaron said to Libre.
"You should not worry too much. As long as the Gamemakers have control over the situation it should be fine. I trust they have learned their lesson from the original 250th season. To sum it up, dear Libre, well... The Fox of Death past-self completely ruined this original timeline by killing everything." James added.
Aaron couldn't help but cringe at OT!Scipion's mention.

"...I'm leaving. Since we got the ring, and a friend of mine needs help in cataloguing my tributes. See ya all."
Libre gets out of the building, and by extension, New Durango, by ballooning out with his web gun, a gliding triangle of webbing carried by the winds and static field.
[...]
Some of the gliding spiders that showed up at the PMD World fly alongside him, until they all reach back to the Webking House. "What a long day...and what a horrific discovery I got..."
"Here are our tributes this season." Jace shows a picture of Yu, Rei, and Ghostbur. "Honestly I just want to sleep right now..."
[...]
Everyone except some of the spiders are asleep. Even Jace is asleep, as a long day is a long day, regardless of the fact that the latest season is gonna have some extreme chaos with a mass group tribute involved.

"Right, but wait a minute... didn't Frisk say that it's Ghost Season? Why don't we stake out in the Arena and collect a SOUL there before their nominator revives them?"
But then Flowey just realized that while technically any human SOUL could work, from his experience, it was the SOUL of a Surface human that stabilized his true form. SOULs vary from universe to universe, and of course, the Peacekeepers will surely catch him after the heist.
"Okay, scratch that one... dunno if any of those SOULs I absorbed previously are even in the Arena right now..."
New Durango
Alphys was about to summon the portals home when the Science Center calls her.
"What is it? The season's ov—"
She hyperventilates when Claire tells her that roughly more than 7.9 billion humans have been crammed on one podium this Ghost Season, ironically.
"Oh God... 6k1 definitely won't like this..."
Glimmer, Bow, and Susie cringe at the mention of the Great Destruction and refuse to ask for further details; Big Mac, Bonnie, and Clyde hug Dupe; while Kris remains stoic, though they shiver at it, too. Ralsei and Undyne both hug Alphys and tell her that it's been a long time since then, and the Gamemakers have put up security measures to prevent that from happening again.
"But but what about all those humans? Claire told me that one of them looks just like 6k1!"
"Wait, what?" asks Ralsei, his face derping up.
"No idea, but I think she's the same human from that mob of tropers that Ego sicced on the redheaded Dawn in Season 148!"
"So you're saying that 6k1 has yet another alt self?!"
"Y-Yes... but whatever her business is, it doesn't seem likely that she'll bump into 6k1 anytime soon, but I hope she survives this!"
Alphys then says goodbye and goodnight to Libre before he goes home.
"Hope you had fun at the party!" says Ralsei.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Not an evil Thievul
Eye-Sicle’s Lair
(Everyone is revived after the season like usual.)
The noive of that guy, eatin’ me alive like that! It’s cannibalism, that’s what it is! (Jabberjaw says, indignant.)
Hey, look on the bright side, big guy, you came in second place. (Kay tells him.) And you did it all without layin’ a hand on anybody! Or fin, I guess. Getting in third place or higher is a big deal.
Really?
Yeah, and it means you get to come back for the battle royale later, too. (Kay says.)
(The shark beams.) Heh, lookit me, finally gettin’ a little respec’ around here! Mighta just gotten second, but I feel great! If only Clamhead and the others could see me now!
Well, it’s high time we got our next tributes in. (Tay says.) It looks like this is a themed season and they are calling for ghosts. I hope Eye-Sicle doesn’t mind us interrupting his automated summoning routine. Who will we bring in, anyway?
Hey, I know a guy! (Jabberjaw says.)
.......
So you’re from the 1700s, yeah? (Kay asks the fellow Jabberjaw recommended, a ghostly man dressed like he’s from the 1770s, with a ghostly cat in a tricorn hat on his shoulder.)
Oh yes, from a time that was quite exciting, revolutionary, even! (Mudsy says.) Thanks for choosing me!
Eep-! Guys! (Mitzi suddenly yelps again. Everyone turns to see that the other spook they pulled in is a ghostly shark with an eyepatch and a hook on his fin, staring at them with a sinister-looking grin.)
Yikes! Hope he’s not plannin’ to turn against a member of his own species, too! (Jabberjaw says, audibly cringing.)
(They get a good look at the arena real quick.)
WHOA! LOOK AT ALL THOSE PEOPLE!! How are they even fitting in?! (Mitzi exclaims.)
Beats me...
........
New Durango
(Knox looks very peeved, more so for the fact that he knows deep down that Freyja is right that he needlessly risked both his own and Colby’s lives, much as the proud coyote doesn’t want to admit it. He goes over and joins the others.)
Thank you, though I think we need to retreat to where we’ve been hiding first before we go there, if y’all have no problems with that. (Colby says.)
(He turns to Bonnie and Clyde.) It was a pleasure to meet the two of you, by the way.
Yeah, let’s not wait too long before we meet again. (Greta agrees.)
(Veena nods as well, though then she turns to Stanford’s group.) Do y’all mind if...you know, we visit you guys some time?
(Everyone still seems skeptical.)
I think we need more time to decide about that. (Stanford says. He doesn’t trust Knox after he threw him into the wall, and the others seem to be in agreement with him (though Joaquin looks a little less skeptical than the others...at least regarding everyone but Knox).)
I understand... (Colby says, looking at Knox (who looks quite agitated).) Y’all will at least let Wednesday come by, right? I don’t expect him to cause any more damage.
I don’t, sir. Believe me. (The Thievul says.)
I don’t see why not, personally. He really seems like he was dragged into this anyway. (Kenny says.)
(June and Wednesday both seem happy and relieved with this arrangement as June gives over the ring.)
(Stanford seems uncomfortable with what he just learned one of the group tributes this season was.)

"Yeah, I don't mind Wednesday joining you guys," Ralsei says to Stanford's group, "he doesn't have a mean bone in his body at all."
"And while I'm a bit leery about you staying in touch with the 'Brijes," says Glimmer, "Bow and I can see why Joaquin would still want to."
"And thanks for that, June," says Alphys as she receives the ring. "Been nice meeting you guys, and hope we can see each other again!"
She summons the portals for everyone's respective universes and says goodnight before they retreat.
"And Dyney? Would you like to come with me to say goodnight to Toriel?"
"No thanks Alphy," she yawns, "gotta retreat to my house and flop on my bed!"
"Okay then, goodnight!"
"And night to you, too!"
They both make a quick kiss, then Alphys summons the portal to Waterfall and sees Undyne off before going to Toriel's herself.
Toriel's Home
Alphys steps out of the portal and knocks on the back door. Toriel and her family open it, and 6k1 asks her how it went.
"Hoo boy... I should've documented the entire showdown, but basically the thieves regretted stealing the ring because of Flowey and the Blights. They didn't give it up so easily, though, but it all worked out in the end... mostly."
"Mostly?"
"Ehehehe... Scips was salty that his party was crashed twice and took it out on the 'Brijes, but Onox surprisingly KO'd him to make him stop."
Everyone's eyes but Frisk's widen with shock.
"Huh," says 6k1, "guess he learned to stand up for himself for once. And is everyone back home safe and sound?"
"Yep, and they all had fun! But Mimi, is it okay if Dupe stays with his cousins in Hawaii tonight? He's concerned for them, too."
"Yes..." she says. "Hope Bonnie and Clyde are okay, too!"
"I hope so, too!" Alphys pets her.
"But anyway, here are your things, 6k1." She returns her phone and bag. "How's Flowey doing?"
"He's in a flowerpot just by the windowsill," says Toriel.
"It was painful for me to fight my own brother," adds 6k1, "but I Spared him with the help of my friends!"
"Frisk, Mimi, Fluttershy, and I were taken out early when he Mega Evolved, but my daughter got through to him with her Tough Love and determination!"
"Whoa!" says Alphys, "I wish I had the courage to face my greatest mistake... but I'll work on purging the ring's curse tonight as my way to help save him!"
"Thanks!" says 6k1.
"A-And sorry if my s-surprise for you last season upset you..."
Alphys twiddles her claws and explains why she nominated and data cloned Riley and her Emotions on 6k1's behalf. The latter tears up again.
"Oh Alphys... it was a bittersweet surprise! How else could I have celebrated the OT Anniversary by celebrating Dave's birthday, too? Pretty sure he wouldn't mind it if he were here, but even just seeing his former tributes there made me smile!"
Alphys sighs in relief. "Thank God you liked it! By the way, the Science Center emailed you the recaps of the last two seasons, including the Emotions' pep talk for Riley before the last!"
"Whoa, really?"
"Yeah, you should watch it when you have time!"
"Aww..." goes 6k1 and her family.
"And is there anything else you'd like to tell us before we tuck in?" asks Toriel.
"I've another project proposal for 6k1 regarding her Cloning Capsule, but I'll tell her after we save Asriel."
"Alright then," says the DM, "I'll go nominate my next tributes before bed. Goodnight, and good luck!"

With Bonnie and Clyde going back to Hawaii, the 'Brijes, and Wednesday leaving elsewhere, the team disbanded.
First Freyja focused and summoned a fire portal for her and Nyx.
"It wasn't this long, but I am glad to have met with you. Maybe we'll meet once more." the Absol said to the thieves before leaving first.
Before she followed her, Freyja turned towards the thieves. Surprisingly, she did a tiny goodbye smirk at them before disappearing.
Aaron then summoned another portal for his group. He apologized for the party-crashers (much to James's annoyance since Aaron had nothing to do with them) and wished everyone save travel (with obviously hugging Ralsei).
PMD!World
The Pokémons joined back with the others and were relieved that the situation was already cleared on their end. They were very surprised to see Lugia and Reshiram here.
Morgan noticed Onox carrying Scipion and grinned.
"He screwed up again, didn't he?"
"Unfortunately yes... Believe it or not, Onox knocked him out before he could kill someone out of rage." Aaron said.
"He what?" Alex shouted, looking at the Toxtricity with wide eyes.
"Well, at least that mess is over."
"Indeed! And people still enjoyed the party! Gehehe!!"
"Speaking of which... Asides from Scipion's breakdown and mocking Power and Ichi, I'm thankful that none of you did dirty tricks on the nominators." Aaron said to the villainous Pokémons.
"It's always a pleasure, Lucario! Gehehe!!" Freddy cackled.
"Sir Scipion's lair and the one of my friends are not far from here. We will go rest there at once." Clyde said.
After Clyde's group said goodbye, they left. Morgan wordlessly left and Onox glanced one last time at the heroes before leaving with Scipion's body.
"So I guess we'll have to travel by foot to reach our respective home." Aaron said to the rest of his team, Lucian, Proteus, and the Fiery Blue Wings. The Lycanroc and Alex yawned in response.
"If I may suggest... In truth, I see you all need to refresh your mind." Reshiram muttered.
"Yupppy yup. And sounds like tonight's gonna be clear of clouds! Let's bring a chill ending to your party, shall we?" Lugia laughed.
Both Reshiram and Lugia lowered themselves.
"Errm... If I may ask my lords, what are you exactly doing?" James asked.
"I will take you to the Expedition Society Headquarters while Lugia will bring the Fiery Blue Wings to James's mansion. You are too tired to walk or fly for so long." Reshiram said
All Pokémons had their jaw wide opened.
"R-R-Really? I am more than honored!"
"THAT'S AWESOME!!"
Lucian was the only one who didn't felt reassured by this. The legendaries already unnerved him so riding them in the sky?
Aaron noticed his friend's breath becoming faster and pet him on the mane.
"It's alright. We'll be with you. I'll be with you. You won't fall." the Lucario reassured. Lucian gave Aaron a timid smile and nodded.
Soon enough the Pokémons were on the two legendaries' back and they took flight.
Underground
"I don't think so. Unless the humans whose SOUL you have absorbed are nominated, but from what I've heard, no one knows what they looked like, asides from your father maybe." Giegue said. He raised his ears and overheard Alphys's voice.
"It sounds like Alphys just visited here. Maybe she managed to retrieve your ring..." the alien pondered.
"Speaking of which... Your father isn't here?"
???
As one would expect, OT!Scipion calmly watched the various events with his own eyes. The Blight Ganons were nowhere to be seen, as per the mad nominator's wishes for the abominations to stay dormant once more for a moment.
The Zoroark mummy titled his head upon seeing that everyone was worried about the Blights attacking the thieves for failing them.
"Hmmm... I should play my part... and reassure them... But who? Who should I start with...?"
He particularly stared at the 'Brijes and Wednesday, before one of his eyes showed him a certain part of the Voidlands.
Dark Stanford's lair precisely.
"Oh... yes... I almost forgot about that building... and the small, small little tiny fox there... That's an unfortunate coincidence... I'll take this opportunity to tell them that as well." he muttered, chortling as he slowly got up before disappearing.

See ya around. (Knox says as Freyja and Nyx leave. Colby is still very unsure about Freyja, but at least they're all leaving on good terms for now.)
(Everyone bids Alphys, Undyne, and the others farewell as well.)
(It's after they've all left that Eye-Sicle and the others finally burst in, all battle-ready (Eye-Sicle's eye glowing, Jared with his scanner out, Jake in dragon form, etc.), only to find everyone peacefully interacting.)
Yall've got dragons with ya?? (Heidi asks, pointing at Cleo and Jake.)
...What the hell is goin' on here? (Eye-Sicle shouts.)
Oh...uh, we got the ring back. (Kenny says.) They gave it back, everyone's gone back home and Alphys is gonna try to get Asriel back. We're all good. ("For now..." He thinks to himself.)
Oh, well, guess we aren't having another fight, but at least it sounds like the kid's on his way to getting back to normal. (Miss Ball says, bursting the two beach balls she's holding.)
Yeah, hope that poor kid ends up being alright. (Trixie says.)
I suppose we should go home ourselves by this point. (Stanford says. He points to Jake, Trixie, and Spud.) You three, especially. Several seasons have passed and you all haven't been home in that time.
This day's been nuts, yo. (Jake says, turning back to human form.) I'm ready to get some shut-eye.
Think the teacher's gonna believe us if we say that we didn't do our homework 'cause we were fighting a monster flower in another world? (Spud wonders out loud.)
Well...'til we meet again, guys. (Joaquin tells the 'Brijes.)
Hope it isn't too long... (Veena says.)
Stay safe, Ozzy! (June adds.)
(The 'Brijes and Wednesday all activate their bracers and head off.)
Y'know, your old friends don't seem that bad once ya get t' know 'em. (June says to Joaquin.)
Yeah...maybe we can work our way up to being true allies again one day. (Joaquin says.)
Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let's go home! (Wanda says.)
(Before they leave, Heidi taps Kenny on the shoulder.) Hey, Kenny, right?
Yeah, what's up? (Kenny asks her.)
Y'know, it ain't every day ya meet another speedster. (She says.) Ya wanna hang out again sometime? Maybe compare how fast we run or somethin'?
Sounds good to me! (Kenny says.) Reckon I could come back here, or we could get ya over to our place. Whichever you prefer.
I'll say one thing, I'm wonderin' where ya've been to meet up with such interestin' people. I figure it might be fun to visit yer place some time. (Heidi says.) ...Welp, reckon I'd better hit the trail fer now. Still got my sister to find. See you fellers around, alright?
(The dino speeds off, going about the same speed that Kenny usually would. Kenny looks on after her for a moment as she heads off, a small smile on his face, before turning back to the others.) She seems like a nice gal. Anyhoo, we ready to hit the trail back ourselves?
(Stanford activates his communicator, sending them all back to Eye-Sicle's Lair.)
Eye-Sicle's Lair
(Kay and her friends have just gotten everyone squared away (though Jabberjaw is still there) when Stanford's group arrives back at the lair.)
Whoa, you guys look wiped out. That must have been some party. (Kay remarks.)
You don't know the half of it... (Jared groans.) It's a really long story.
Least you didn't burn the place down. (Eye-Sicle snorts.) Who's the dopey-lookin' shark?
HEY!
He's your podium placer this past season! Didn't even get anybody and came in second! (Flea chirps.)
Jabberjawgot second place?? (Miss Ball exclaims.) This place really IS nuts...
Is it really that unusual for a shark to win at somethin' round here? (Jabberjaw asks.)
Uh, not really. A literal cube won a season in first place a few seasons ago. (Wanda points out.)
Well, nice that today ended on a pretty good note. (Eye-Sicle says.) I dunno what the rest of ya are gonna do, but I'm gonna take a shower and crash. Smell you guys later.
(The polar bear swaggers off.)
I suppose I'll work on getting Jake and his friends home. (Stanford says.) The rest of you are free to go get ready to call it a night.
(Jake does address Cleo before he, Spud, and Trixie leave.) Yo, you should swing by NYC and meet the other dragons some time. I dunno if even Gramps has even met a psychic dragon before.
Perhaps I could if we have nothing else going on. (Cleo nods.)
(As everyone else heads to tribute quarters, Stanford and the kids head toward the tribute summoning chamber. As they do, Stanford reflects on the day and how he was repeatedly unable to defend himself against anyone today (except when he was a Braixen) and hasn't had any real way to do so since this all started. Maybe he could give himself some way to turn into a Braixen at will or something? Or perhaps-)
Yo, look out!
(Stanford catches himself before he walks straight into a potted plant.) Oh, thank you. My apologies. I have a lot on my mind right now.
Dark Stanford's Lair
(The other Stanford is hard at work within his lair in the Voidlands, tinkering away with his warped-looking tribute chamber when the 'Brijes appear, alongside Wednesday.)
'Brijes! Where in the WORLD have you been? (The fox asks.)
It's a VERY long story. (Greta says.)
There is a noticeable lack of any knock-offs with you. (Dark Stanford says, tapping his foot with an impatient expression on his face.)
We're workin' on it, alright? (Knox says.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Mr. Star and the rest of his group arrive with the others. Hearing that Kenny has the ring, he relieved. He bids goodbye to Libre, Eye-sicle and the others as they leave the place. He then contacts his place, and a portal appears. He and his friends enter.

Mr. Star and his group arrive in the portal room.
"Glad that was over!"
"Poyo!"
"You all can go home! I need some rest, too."
He then heads back to his office, and turns on his monitor. He sees the new season's theme, and sets his tributes, which are Wapod and Yuyuko Saigyouji.

"She got the ring?" asks Flowey. "Heh, good for her, but she better not binge on coffee while she experiments on it!"
He wonders how they were able to hear Alphys from here, but he figures that sound travels faster underground and "shrugs".
"And Dad? He's prolly asleep in his castle, but I bet his ex snitched on me to him when she gave me this pot! He's also a gardener, by the way."
Meanwhile, 6k1 goes to Toriel's room and ties Mimi's harness to the bedpost. The DM then goes to Toriel and asks if there's a place for her to wash up.
"Actually we do have a bathroom my child, just down the corridor. It's just that we don't have toilets!"
6k1 snickers. "Then it's a good thing the food here's digested 100%!"
She opens her bag to get her extra clothes, but she realizes that didn't pack her PJs and chuckles.
"Mom, you have extra nightgowns I can borrow? I wasn't expecting that I'd stay somewhere else for the night."
"Of course, I do! They're just above the sock drawer!"
"Aww, thanks!"
6k1 hugs her and takes a bath, then goes back to Toriel's room while Toriel prepares Frisk for bed. 6k1 changes to her nightgown, which is similar to her mom's robes, and calls the Science Center to arrange for her next tributes. With their help, she reaches out to Joe and tells him about the themed season.
"Hold up... you want me to Zone Out so you can nominate my soul for that?"
"You don't need to, Joe. We have the technology to data clone your soul so you won't end up in the Great Beyond again!"
"That's good, 'cause I'm enjoying what life has to offer, so I don't wanna pass on just yet!"
"Good for you! However... is it okay if I data clone 22 as well? She already incarnated after you helped her learn to appreciate life on Earth, so there's no way we can contact her right now, and her memories can't be transferred after this season."
"Are you sure about this? She'll be in Panem as an unborn soul, the experience will be totally different!"
"Then you can teach her how to experience Earth from a different angle!"
"I can see where you're going! Then it's a done deal!"
"Alright, enjoy teaching music or playing in a band, or whatever makes you feel happy right now!"
6k1 ends the call and texts Ichi that she has arrived safely at Toriel's Home.
I'll tell Power about about my adventure today 'cause it'd be more fun if she's the one telling you about it! But Raiden must return that Library book by tomorrow or else he must pay the staff a huge overdue fee! But on a lighter note, nice that Jabberjaw fixed up your school after Sub-Zero fixed up one of Bale's!

"Hmph. That's a funny coincidence. At least from what I've heard, your father is a decent parent. My father on the other hand... well... it's a more complicated story." Giegue sighed.
Giegue remembered his time in the afterlife and how he met with Maria after such a long time. What had become of Georges? Wasn't he with her before?
The alien preferred to forget about these thoughts.
PMD!World
After a while, Scipion and co. finally reached the lair. Onox put his boss on a small nest and looked nervously at him.
"Are you going to stare at him like an idiot?" Morgan sarcastically hissed.
"I... I dunno... I'm scared, Morgan. I don't feel so good." the Toxtricity answered. Morgan chuckled to himself.
"It's best I leave you two alone for a while. Our food reserves are rather scarce, I need to hunt. Try to watch out for Scips, alright?"
Onox sadly nodded.
"Oh and one last thing... I doubt Scipion is stupid enough to throw you out just because you punched him." the evil Morgrem cackled before leaving.
After several hours that seemed like days for Onox, Scipion mumbled and woke up.
"Ugh... My head..."
Onox became rigid and he nervously sweated.
"B-Boss..."
"Huh... We're back in the lair? Onox can you explain to me what happened?" Scipion asked as soon as he saw Onox.
The Zoroark frowned when Onox didn't answer, his eyes wide open in fear.
"Onox, I asked you something." Scipion repeated. The Toxtricity still didn't answer.
"Onox...? Hey, Onox! Are you okay? You look like you're about to throw up." Scipion asked, starting to get concerned.
"I-I'm sorry... P-Please don't leave me..." Onox whimpered, shutting his eyes.
Scipion got up and sat down next to his scared lackey.
"Onox... What happened?" Scipion asked again, more gently.
"...P-Punched you..." Onox quietly cried, too terrified to even look at Scipion again.
"Y-You wanted to hurt the thieves. The other and I didn't want. Y-You said you were going to k-kill me and I... I..."
The Zoroark looked at Onox with confusion before clutching his head as he remembered how he went berserk.
"Oh... I see..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll do anything, plea-" Onox tearfully begged. Scipion smiled and interrupted him by putting his finger on the Toxtricity's mouth.
"You big stupid dumb baby... Hug me." Scipion giggled.
Onox looked at Scipion with eyes wide in shock.
"C'mon. I won't hurt you."
Onox then hugged Scipion and burst into tears, releasing all of his stress. Scipion said nothing and patted him in the back.
After a while, Onox calmed down and finally looked at Scipion again.
"Onox I... I'm sorry that I scared and threatened you." the Zoroark apologized.
"You... You're not mad that I..."
"Hardly. Gotta say I'm impressed you're able to stand up for your own. You did the right thing." Scipion reassured.
"B-B-But... But I didn't obey you. I don't understand."
"I'll be honest... I got really salty that my party was crushed and that Asriel became Flowey and threatened everyone. I wasn't thinking straight. Remember what I told you about how I felt when I attacked that stupid dog back at the library before we reunited? I was in that state again."
Onox nodded, processing what Scipion was saying.
"In short, I screwed up. I'm thankful you and the others stopped me before I would do something stupid. So don't be scared, I won't leave you and Morgan. Never again." Scipion chuckled, rubbing his head against Onox's chest.
"B-Boss..." Onox whimpered, smiling at Scipion before rubbing his head against the Zoroark as well.
After ensuring Onox felt fine again, Scipion got back into his nest and pointed at some computer.
"Sigh... Even though I worked hard on my anger issues, it's visibly not enough. I can't let that happen a third time, especially if I'm going to the Voidlands with them. Onox, write something to the other noms. Tell them that they prepare something, anything to restrain or KO me if I go berserk like that again. With all of their technologies and stuff, they might be able to come with something." Scipion asked.
The Toxtricity nodded and wrote (with a lot of errors) the message before sending it to the others.
Reshiram was flying slowly and gracefully. It was rather gentle and peaceful.
"This is so awesome! And it's so comfy!" Alex exclaimed as he kept jumping excitedly on the dragon.
"I have to admit it is, yes." Tokage giggled with his father, rubbing affectionally his head against the old frog.
Aaron smiled and looked at the moon. He then looked behind him to see a terrified Lucian, with his eyes still closed and clutching on the Lucario.
"Oh Lucian... Calm yourself and relax. Take a deep breath and open your eyes. You won't regret it."
Lucian whimpered in response. Aaron sighed and grabbed his friend's paws that were on the Lucario's chest.
"I promise it will be alright. I hold you." Aaron kindly whispered. Eventually, Lucian opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. He screamed and hugged Aaron even tighter.
"It's terrifying... and beautiful at the same time!" the Lycanroc laughed.
"See? I told you you would like it!"
"So... Been a long time, James. Glad to see you're still rolling. Got a new boyfriend?" Lugia asked James.
"Yes, lord Lugia. I have met with Nick long after we have last met."
"So you've got like, two boyfriends at the same time? You're a lucky man. I hope Arthur and Nick aren't jealous of each other."
"Of course not! Well, Arthur still a bit grumpy from time to time about that. But he's a good friend." Nick giggled, patting Arthur's back.
"Hmph... I guess you're a good friend too." Arthur admitted.
"How long until we reach our mansion?" James asked.
"It took us several hours to get to the party by foot, so I guess we'll still be flying for a while." Arthur guessed.
"How inconvenient." James yawned.
"You want me to go faster?" Lugia asked. The trio nodded.
"Alright. We're going to reach that mansion in no time." Lugia said with a mischievous smile. He then summoned wind around the surprised trio to hold them on his back, similar to a roller coaster's restraints.
"Lord Lugia, may I ask whaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The Fiery Blue Wings instinctively grabbed the restraints as Lugia suddenly accelerated.

Toriel's Home
"Golly... well, my dad declared war on humanity over my and Chara's deaths, that's why Mom left him. But if she snitched on me, then it seems that she wants to return to him after all this time. Speaking of her... what was your mom like? Was she as loving and caring as mine?"
Meanwhile, Toriel knocks on her bedroom door and tells 6k1 that Ichi mailed the stolen Library book to her at her request. 6k1 packs it and texts Ichi thanks while Toriel goes to check on Flowey, then the DM gets her crystal ball.
"Hey Power, how's it been since you left?"
"Nothing much other than watching the seasons while waiting for you..."
"Nothing much?" 6k1 notices the bracelet and smirks.
Power darts her eyes around. "I-It's not what looks like!"
"I know, don't worry! But did he gift you that bracelet?"
"No, I drew it myself, and also drew up a friendship ring for him as a parting gift!"
"Awww! I always knew that you'd be perfect together as best friends, and I hope that you'll continue maintaining it in the seasons to come! Anyway..."
6k1 gives Power the blow-by-blow account of everything that had happened after the latter left.
"Oh Celestia..." she gasps, "I knew that Flowey would crash the party one way or another..."
"Yeah, I had that gut feeling because of my Mudkip senses, and sorry that he insulted your relationship with Ichi..."
"It's not your fault, 6k1." Power smiles. "I can see why he was jealous of us, but once Asriel is restored, tell him that Ichi and I are friends with him too, and our relationship doesn't make us less of that!"
6k1 nods. "I will, and Alphys is working on that ring to save him once and for all!"
"Then good luck to her, too!"
The DM then receives Onox's email about Scipion. She runs it through a spelling and grammar checker and emails him back that while her Exoskeleton can shoot tranq darts, she'll pack extra just in case. She sighs and thinks back to her battle with Flowey.
"6k1?"
"What is it, Power?"
"It looks like that you've been through a lot today..."
"Yeah... it wasn't easy fighting my own brother, and Scips snapping at New Durango reminded me of the last time Dave snapped at me, too..."
Power's ears fold. "Then I guess I'm lucky I didn't have a lot of fights with Starfall... But 6k1, I think that Dave had better control of his anger than Scipion. Sure, it was rude of him to swear at you when he called you out about data clones, but he was genuinely concerned for you, and he took a timeout right after that."
"I know, but that stung a lot..."
"I getcha, but given your stubbornness, he had to get through to you the hard way like how you got through to Flowey recently."
"I see... but what about Ichi? Did he ever raise his voice at you?"
"Not at all, but I'm afraid of what might happen if he does or worse, says 'fork you' to me..."
"Then why don't you ask him tonight? I believe that he's working on his anger issues for you, and you're doing a good job in calming him down!"
"Really? But sometimes he just wants to be left alone..."
"And that's okay, because that's just how he manages his temper. Everyone deals with their emotions differently, and while some have the resilience like me, others need a little push from their loved ones... like you!"
"Heehee, yep! He has comforted me over my breakdowns, and I returned the favor several times! Sure, it takes him a while to cool off, but now I realize that this is what's helping us feel closer together!"
"Awww! And that's what best friends do: help each other grow to be their best selves!"
"Agreed!" Power's ears perk up.
6k1 smiles and yawns. "Anyway, I should be going to bed soon. Don't stay up too late talking to Ichi, alright?"
"Hehe, alright! Goodnight!"
The DM ends the call and texts Psyche that she arrived Home safe while Power relays to Ichi about 6k1's adventure.

Giegue was a bit surprised that Flowey asked him about his late mother as well. The alien took a deep breath and grabbed his other arm.
"Yes... Yes, she was... I loved her dearly just as much as he loved me." he sighed.

Eventually, Reshiram landed and allowed the others to land as well.
"Thank you for everything, lord Reshiram." Aaron warmly thanked the legendary.
"The pleasure is mine. In truth, I must now leave to reunite with my sibling. I fear he may start to worry about me. I wish you a pleasant night."
Once Reshiram left, Lucian left everyone inside and prepared the room for them. Soon enough he, the Rescue Squad, and Proteus fell asleep.
Lugia
James was yelling hysterically for his life, tears streaming down his face and his nictitating membrane covering his eyes because of the speed. Arthur wasn't enjoying the ride either and had his beak and eyes shut tight and Nick was laughing like a mad man.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...!"
"WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!"
"So? Having fun?" Lugia taunted, grinning at their reactions. The legendary did a barrel roll for fun before flying even faster.
Eventually, that was too much for Arthur and he freaked out as well, grabbing James's hand as Nick held the other one. He screeched swear words just as loud as Nick's insane cackles and James' girlish yells.
"OH GOD!! STOP!! STOP!! I BEG YOU!!" James shrieked, struggling to not faint.
Fortunately for him, Lugia arrived and landed near the Inteleon's mansion.
The trio fell on his back clung onto each other to calm their racing hearts.
"W-Wow, that was intense!" Nick weakly laughed.
"S-Shit... Scared the crap out of me. I" Arthur admitted.
"That was the point. But I thought it wouldn't bother you that much since you can fly as well." Nick remarked.
"Except that I have control over my flight, unlike here." Arthur hissed.
"Are you okay?" he asked a shaking James. James whimpered still having a death grip on his boyfriends.
"I... Would you believe me if I told you that I saw all of my life flashing before my eyes?" he gasped. He then got up and jumped away from Lugia, more than happy to finally rest inside.
"Still... Thank you for your assistance, my lord." he said, regaining his classy composure as his boyfriends left as well.
"Alright. That was fun and all, but I'm pretty sure Ho-Oh must be wondering where I've gone. It was nice seeing you all."
Once Lugia was gone, Arthur and Cinderace both kissed James without warning and at the same time.
"W-What was that for?" The Inteleon asked, blushing.
"Are you going to complain over a kiss? You deserved it." Nick laughed, pulling his arm around James's shoulders. Arthur did the same from the other side.
"Alright. Let's go home." he said as James kissed each of them before they entered the mansion to sleep.
Dark Sisterhood's fortress
Chara was in their personal room, looking at their knife without expression. They turned towards Kreia as the old woman entered the room.
"So. Your meeting with the other High Sisters is finally over?" they asked.
"Indeed. Lady Medusa has sent Carmilla and Veran to negociate with the countess named Alcina Dimitrescu. We believe she and her three daughters will make good recruits."
"Dimitrescu... You mean that tall vampire lady Earth Prime's Internet is currently obsessed with?"
"The very same." Kreia confirmed.
"Pfff... One stupid vampire is already annoying enough... I know she isn't really one but still..." Chara huffed, crossing their arms.
"You wish for another one to join our league." Kreia deduced.
"Well... You're not wrong." Chara sighed, a little smile on their face. Kreia sighed then turned back.
"Lady Cetrion has fully healed Shriek, and I have felt through the Force that your brother's ring is in the possession of the Royal Scientist. I assume she will turn the prince back to normal this night at best, and tomorrow at worst." she informed. Chara smiled at the good news.
"Once it will be done, I shall bring Asriel to the designed meeting spot. I trust you will not forget to bring a SOUL with you." Darth Traya said as she exited the room. Chara sat down on their bed and their smile widened as they invocated a red heart in their hand.
"I won't..."

Shortly after the Building Fire
Bale's group was forced to leave the hunt for the thieves earlier than anyone as they had gotten reports of various attacks from various threats on their world thanks to Xochi. Unknown to everyone, they had been orchestrated by Zoffy who had ordered some of his minions to attack worlds under various guises to further test them. Bale went back to his base to fix a technical issue as well.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

Eye-Sicle's Lair
(As he gets ready to hit the hay, Eye-Sicle gets a notification from Scipion (via Onox) saying to be ready in case he loses his marbles again. Stanford gets it as well.)
What the...? (Eye-Sicle mumbles as he reads the very poorly spelled message several times before figuring out what it says.) Oh, I got it.
(I'll get Stokes on it.) (Eye-Sicle messages back.)
(He mashes his intercom.) Stokes! Did Scipion message ya? (He barks.)
I did, sir. (Stanford replies.) I can certainly understand his reasons for why. You should have seen what happened in New Durango.
Well, at some point you should make somethin' that'll hold that guy whenever we got to the Voidlands, alright? (Eye-Sicle says.)
Will do, sir. (Stanford says. He resumes work on a peculiar-looking device that looks like a new bowtie. It's a fire-y red.)
Dark Stanford's Lair
(The other Stanford hears the thieves' tale, his expression changing very little.)
You all have been through a lot, it seems. (He mutters.) [[evil: Blasted Blight Ganons, where's the fellow who is supposed to keep them in line? But perhaps a method of disguising yourselves might be a good idea so you don't have to have someone else do it for you like this Morpholomew fellow. I'll see if I can have a disguise program patched into all of your bracers. It may not fool the Blight Ganons should there come a point where they try to seek you out, but it will make it harder for anyone else to trace you or the others.
Sounds good to me. (Greta says.)
Now, I can't say I'm happy that you left without the knock-offs of these particular new worlds that you visited, including the one Knox has his very hands on. (The other Stanford says.) [[evil: Don't forget your REAL mission whenever you are travelling in these other worlds. You don't have time to rub shoulders with their residents. I need these knock-offs NOW. (He punctuates this last word by slamming his furry little fist on the table on front of him, making some of the others jump.)
Sure thing, pardner. (Knox says. The others seem bothered, however.)
Go rest for now. Your bracers will go off when they've updated. (The other Stanford says.) And next time you leave...come back with at least ONE of my knock-offs.
(The 'Brijes and Wednesday leave. Once they're out of earshot, Stanford slams his fists again.)
Blast! They were so close to the one completely identical to me! (He grumbles. He stews on his seat for a moment before hitting his intercom.) Eye-Sicle? What are you doing right now?
Whaddya think? Workin' on the same crap you've had me workin' on for ages and hatin' every second of it. Whaddya want?! (The other Eye-Sicle asks.)
I need you on an app that will allow anyone who wears these bracers to instantly look like someone else! Sooner rather than later!
Okay, whatever... (The other Eye-Sicle groans.)
(The other Stanford turns off the intercom and looks out the window at the warped landscape beyond.)

Psyche's Fanfic School
Psyche, BTS and Stray Kids watch through the season with interest. Both of their runs ended up pretty interesting, though Psyche can't help but notice Stray Kids glancing nervously at each other as their data clones kill more and more people…
When the final results come in, Psyche's about ready to flip a table.
"Goddammit! This is the second time recently that I just barely missed out on getting a mass-murderer!"
"Sorry…" I.N says in a small voice.
"Oh, it's not your fault. This is just how luck works, really. Anyway, d'you guys wanna discuss among yourselves whether or not you want your data clones' memories transferred?"
The two Kpop groups do so. After a few minutes, each group reaches a consensus.
"We're fine with having our clones' memories transferred," says RM.
"And we don't want to receive any of our clones' memories," says Chan.
Psyche nods. "Alright, that's fine."
She gets the memory transfer organised for BTS, then sends everyone home, bidding them farewell and congratulating BTS on their newest single, Butter. She then summons Nearly-Headless Nick and Carrie, sends them both to the Arena, and sits down with her phone for some downtime.
She receives 6k1's text, and decides to respond to that first:
Hey, I'm glad to hear! Thanks for letting me know! How was the rest of the party? Did I miss anything cool?
Then she sends a text to Ichi:
Hey, big bro! Sorry Sub-Zero placed fourth last season… but hey, at least Jabberjaw fixed up your Strategy School real good!

"I see... Hopefully I'll get that SOUL by tomorrow so I can feel Mom's love again..."
And as if on cue, Toriel arrives and asks Flowey and Giegue how they're doing.
"Nothing much, we were just talking about our families and collecting a human SOUL!"
Toriel cups her mouth. "A human SOUL?! A-Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, I know this is what drove you and Dad apart, but this is the only way I can permanently turn back into my real self!"
"But the ring..."
"It's only but a cursed artifact that grants me my god powers. And even if Alphys successfully purifies it, I need that SOUL to make sure I stay as Asriel!"
Toriel still isn't sure about this, but puts her trust in Flowey.
"I'll accompany you to Alphys's lab tomorrow if she allows it. Is that okay?"
Flowey shudders as memories of Alphys experimenting on him in the True Lab flash in his mind.
"N-No! I think it would be better if she placed the ring on me right here!"
"But the lab has emergency measures in case the experiment goes wrong!"
"But I don't wanna go back there! That's where she created me by accident!"
"But it'll be the same place where she'll reverse that! Best to save you in the place where it all began, right?"
"I-I'm not sure of this... Giegue, what do you think?"
Meanwhile, 6k1 replies to Psyche: The party was great... until Flowey crashed it. Long story short, it was an uphill battle, but Alphys got the ring and will purify it of its curse by tomorrow!

Without warning, someone popped up right at the other side of the window where Dark Stanford was looking at the landscape. He looked like a sort of mummified fox.

"Th-Th-The Library?" asks Alphys.
"6k1 said that it has been repaired," Toriel says on the phone, "but she's staying with us tonight because Ally's not there to guard her and Mimi."
"Alright. Meet me at the back door so I can tell 6k1 that I'll try to remove the ring's curse in the lab tonight. Won't take long."
"Okay, see you there."
Alphys then turns to the thieves and says, "but you still gotta pay the DM for the damages!"
Bonnie and Clyde search their pockets but shrug.
"Drat, we spent all our moolah on Morph's chicken legs!"

Dupe climbs down from Big Mac and taps them, mewing.
"Oh? We can return to our hideout for now?"
"And just say sorry to Lilo tomorrow?"
Dupe nods.
"And we'll accept whatever punishment she gives us, alright?"
He nods again.
"But what about you?" asks Clyde.

"Ya wanna stay with us tonight?"

"You're free to share our crib!" says Bonnie, "or if ya feel better mergin' with your original for a while and stayin' with Slushy, den fine by us, too!"
Dupe gives them a hug to say thanks.
'"And Jumba will let ya know if anythin' Blight-related happens to us!"
He nods one last time.
"Alright," says Alphys, "if there aren't any more questions, then I guess we'll call it a night! June, the ring please? And Glimmer, 6k1's bag?"
She gives it to her and yawns.
"Yep, it's high time that Bow and I return to Etheria!"

"Eh, I guess you're right... but as I said before, getting it back is only a temporary solution to this, that's why I need a human SOUL. I don't need seven because the ring already grants me my god powers, while six will just corrupt me again, so just one will do."
Meanwhile, 6k1 returns to ask Frisk if the season has ended.
"Yes, it's now Ghost Season. Are you gonna nominate Napstablook for it?"
"Nope, 'cause I've a better idea for that..."
But 6k1 realizes that her phone's still with Alphys. She was about to ask Frisk if she can use their phone to call the Science Center when Toriel goes up and tells her about Alphys.
"Alright, follow me you two."
