(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.

The transmission continues.
"I don't need to worry myself, given that I'm the one who sent this transmission."
"An evil plan, eh? I, am one who seeks to bring forth these...Dread Powers, fears manifest, down upon the world, make them merge with the minds below, and spread them all across the infinite amount of universes that have so far, missed out the opportunity on what it feels like to be overrun by Fear."
"You may wonder who, or what these Dread Powers are. I will give you further information. For now, to know, they are the fears of living creatures made manifest, and they seek to spread."
The transmission ends.
Webking House, Outside
Karl ends up near the Webking House, all zombified and wormed up.
"[panting] W-where is this..."
He feels...some sort of pull, from the worms inhabiting his body.
"Wh-...Who is it?"
"Who's Ollie?"
"...Libre's there!? Hope he hasn't lost all of his lives..."
The worms call him to get to the house.
"...Alright..." Karl follows through and walks towards the house.
"Who's that?" Rei asks, noticing Karl.
"Dunno..." Sig then notices the worms on Karl.
"...I think we gotta warn them.
"For what?"
"There's something in that guy's body and it's grossing me out."

Arma raised an eyebrow at Brooklyn immediately jumping towards the larger gargoyle. Firebrand also scratched his head at Brooklyn, surprised that he looked much more like him than Goliath.
"So you are Brooklyn. Nice to see you're safe and sound." Firebrand greeted him
"Hmph. So the other gargoyle must be from this "Manhattan clan" too."
"He told you about that? Yes, both come from the same realm. We originally wanted to save him but... Now you're here. And I admit I'm not sure how I should react." the Red Arremer said.
"If I wanted to cause trouble, I would have destroyed Brooklyn a while ago and already attacked you three." Arma pointed out.
Suddenly, much to Arma's surprise, the "pet" started to talk, having never seen an animal from human realms talking.
Before he could process more, the laser hit him right in the chest. But the demon barely flinched.
"Did your pet just tried to shoot me with his pitiful... eye-thing out of petty arrogance?" Arma asked, sounding more annoyed than angry. Firebrand sighed in relief.
"Okay, just to clarify, he is not my pet. He is his own guy, and his name is Eye-Sicle."
"This pest even has a name? I am surprised you and this other gargoyle manage to tolerate his presence in the first place. Speaking of which, he has yet to reveal his name to me." Arma sarcastically grunted.
"Goliath. The leader of the Manhattan clan. He's the reason why we are here. They're not exactly demons like you and I. They're more like pure gargoyles." Firebrand explained.
"I see... As for how I have been released from the Crest of Time..."
"I'm just as clueless as you, Arma. Though I think it's linked to how we've got here with Eye-Sicle's assistants' machine."
"Good. At least I am not forced to directly thank him for releasing me."
"So if you are not going to fight me or anyone here, what are you going to do now?" Firebrand carefully asked.
"Getting out of this place and returning to the Ghoul Realm would be a good start... And maybe reminding the white pest his place." Arma said, grinning.
"Eeeerm... We kinda need him alive to get out of this world. So you are not going to hurt him at all." Firebrand argued, shaking his head. But the red demon got an idea and grinned evilly.
"Keeheehee... Though I have to agree he can be annoying at times so maybe showing him what we can do might be entertaining. And I think Goliath here seems to have a low opinion on him too. We can't really afford to lay a claw on him, but perhaps you should... you know, give him a... "windy" ride, if you know what I mean." Firebrand cackled, looking at Arma's wings.
"I don't have time for such pleasantries. Brooklyn also warned me about "aliens" roaming around, we might not want to waste time." Arma sternly said, knowing Firebrand referred to his whirlwind move.
"Oh come on! We're both demons! The guy should have expected this! Little pleasures like this are fun! Maybe we could like, do it in front of his subordinates!" Firebrand cackled.
Arma sighed then looked at Goliath and Brooklyn, silently deciding to let them choose.
"You're married like me, you know monstrosity can take many forms."

"Come on, Dark Ichi also got out after Timewrecker's fall! But since he'd rather retreat after his stint in the Arena, what does he do all day? Cuddle what's basically Amisia in pony form?"
Dark 6k1's Lab
"So you seek to spread these manifestations of people's worst fears across the Multiverse? Reminds me of when Valecor gave almost everyone nightmares for Villain Month. That's quite ambitious... but that's way beyond the scope of my plans.
"I'm after only one person for now, my Light counterpart, and I plan to sabotage her Voidlands trip when the time comes. I haven't thought of the details yet, but if you're in on this, perhaps you could send me some supplies that could be useful for my plans. Thank you for your time."
Dark 6k1 ends the transmission and sighs. While every other villain was out giving all the heroes misery during that month, she wisely stayed behind and observed how Light 6k1 survived her ordeal.
That Timewrecker... she thinks, He broke her alright, but he's such a fool for thinking he could succeed with all his Crazy Preparedness... I'll take my time in planning and make sure I don't make the same mistakes as him!
Asgore's Home
Once the season ends, 6k1 asks Asgore permission to nominate two of his royal guards from the Snowdin Canine Unit.
"I hereby give you my approval," he says. "I will let Undyne know right away."
He messages her just that, and she also gives her approval.
"And they will not be data cloned," he adds.
"Alright," says 6k1.
He then tells her about the arrangement with Billy. 6k1 calls Alphys, first asking her permission to nominate her old friends again.
"Oh! Uh... hang on a moment..."
6k1 waits a while, then Alphys says, "They just forwarded this to you..."
We totally did nothing wrong back there, so you should, like, data clone us instead!
Yeah, how likely will a cute boy save us from a super duper creepy skeleton guy again?
Hey! Sans and Papyrus aren't creepy, Bratty!
I was talking about Ainz, Catty!
Oh right... And besides, we still have a LOTTA junk to sell, so we'll have our data clones, like, expand our business in the Arena!
Good idea, Catty! Anyway, whatever you decide, Sixty, wish us the bestest of luck!
See ya!
"Alright," 6k1 says to Alphys, "tell the Science Center to clone them as requested. Now, about that SOUL..."
She tells her about Billy's offer.
"I'm sorry, but I think I have to decline that. Even with all his advanced tech, it'll take his corporation some time to make it, and of course there's still the risk of Asriel's body rejecting it. It's best that he gets one from natural sources."
"As in we still have to get one from a dead person?"
"I'm afraid so, 6k1..."
She sighs. "Alright... Looks like we have to... find a body since the other SOULs were already released... But don't worry, Asriel's still okay and we're all having fun!"
"That's good! Anyway, don't tell the others, but I'm almost done with my gift for him! I'll send it to Asgore via the Dimensional Box system when it's finished!"
"Alright! Hope it's good! See ya!"
She ends the call and tells Asgore about Alphys's thoughts on the offer, and he messages Billy about it. He then checks the time on his phone.
"Wanna go watch the sunset at the Surface?" he asks his family.
"That would be lovely!" says Toriel.
"I wanna go out too!" says Mimi, hopping around 6k1.
"I haven't seen the sun here since I... carried their body to the village..." says Asriel.
"I know you're nervous," says 6k1, "but it's a great way to cap off this reunion!" she adds while Frisk nods in approval. "Thanks for treating us, Dad!"
"It is no problem, 6k1, I will just clean the table for you while you get ready!"

The 'Brijes would see that the sun is also setting where they are and will transform when it's almost dark.

Somewhere in the Voidlands
Deep in the twisted, strange landscape of the Voidlands, some strange, purple bushes rustle. Later, from within the bushes, a few small, mysterious figures, no larger than a housecat, crawl out of some bushes. They reveal themselves to be the Voidlands Bugs
◊, a harmless and benign insect species residing in the Voidlands. The insects then crawl out to eat several dead leaves scattered on the ground.
Above the insects' heads, giant, purple, flower-like plants tower on them. A large, winged insect, almost the size of an eagle, flies by. It is a Voidlands Butterfly
◊. It lands in one of the towering flowers and drinks its nectar, before flying away.
Star Angel Palace
Mr. Star has just finished watching the previous season. He was somewhat shocked at the amount of tributes last season, though group tributes like that has happened multiple times.

(The sun drops low enough in the sky that the 'Brijes change forms.)
Yoikes! What just happened? (Jabberjaw yelps.)
Oh, yeah, we messed with a cursed treasure and now this happens every night. (Joaquin explains.) Not as bad as you might think it is, though.
Ja. Comes with some pretty nice perks. (Greta says.) Hey, Joaquin, punch me as hard as you can real quick.
Oh, uh, sure. (Joaquin punches Greta in the stomach. Greta barely even flinches.)
Pardon me, but that looked like it should have hurt. (Darnell says.)
Oh, in this form I'm so strong I'm practically made of steel. (Greta says, pounding on her chest with one hoof.) Not that I'm planning to do that, but I could level this whole building single-handedly if I wanted to.
(Kenny gives Greta a suspicious look.) I said I wasn't going to, Kenny.
What's the Cacturne-lookin' guy's thing? (June asks.)
Sticky can fire much bigger spines and manipulate which direction they go. (Veena says. Sticky demonstrates by firing a fairly large spine and sending it zipping around their head.)
As for me...my rattlesnake venom has different effects depending on what color it is when I use it. (Veena says.) If it's blue, you feel really cold for a few minutes, if it's yellow, you get paralyzed for a few minutes, and if it's purple, you get hiccups for about ten minutes. There are other colors that do different things, but that's just a few of them.
Remind me to not get bit by you. I hate hiccups. (Wanda says. She looks at Joaquin.) Do you have any sort of superpower to go with your form? You've never said.
You know, it's kinda funny, I still haven't figured out what it is yet. (Joaquin says, shrugging.) It's been years since we ended up this way and I still don't know.
You know, since we're on much better terms right now, maybe now might be a good time for us to help you figure that out. (Greta suggests.)
Well, thanks guys! (Joaquin says.)
(Knox may be in alebrije form now, but he's so winded from going all over the immediate area looking for where Stanford might be that he flies up into a tall tree and just sits there watching the sun go the rest of the way down.)
Earth-ME3
Look, don't you guys wanna be back outta here already? We found the guy, let's get back outta here before one of those alien things finds us. (Eye-Sicle has no desire to get tossed around or anything else by Firebrand.)
(Goliath's view of Eye-Sicle has indeed not improved much since this started, but he feels that messing with him for cheap laughs is unnecessary, plus, the threat of being found by the Reapers is there.) We should return to the bear's castle.

"Seems to me that Dark 6k1 wants nothing to do with him anyway, assuming that the real one, wherever she is, would do the same as her AU clone last season. But speaking of her, I hope Light 6k1 is prepared for when she attacks!"
Dark 6k1's Lab
What kind of Dark Nominator is he if he's not doing any villainy outside the Arena? Dark 6k1 thinks while waiting for her minion to return. There's always a risk to carrying out your evil plans, but you can succeed if you play your cards right! Oh well... as long as Dark Pow-Pow's keeping him busy, I'm happy for them, but it's still his loss for skipping out on this plan!

"The gargoyle is right. We have wasted enough time here. The white pest is beneath our concern. And you own me a long explanation." Arma said to Firebrand.
"Urf, that's too bad... And trust me, you really have a lot to catch on, Arma." Firebrand sighed since Arma knew nothing about the HGS.
"I suppose his castle is not in our own respective realms." Arma said to Brooklyn and Goliath.
"No. But we can get there from his land, don't worry about that." Firebrand reassured before both demons turned towards Eye-Sicle.
"So... How exactly do we leave?"
Surface
Already anticipating the Dreemur's next move, Kreia was already there, hidden outside somewhere near the Surface entrance, gazing at the sunset. And she already chose where to take Asriel for the beginning of the Dark Sisterhood's plans regarding him and his complete restoration.
"At last..." she muttered.

Gotcha guys covered. (Eye-Sicle says. He pulls out his communicator.) HEY! YOSHI! GET US OUTTA HERE!
Will do! (Tay replies.)
(A moment later, Eye-Sicle and the gargoyles are all back in the tribute summoning chamber in Eye-Sicle's Lair. Tay is still behind the controls, now joined by Huckleberry and Quick Draw.)
This thingamajigger IS fancy. (Quick Draw remarks to Tay after they're brought in.) You done caught yerself a buncha...uh...what the hey are those fellers?
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Eye-Sicle's lair
The group came back safe and sound. While Firebrand merely raised an eyebrow at Huckleberry and Quick Draw, Arma was more confused and outright outraged by the new trio's look.
"This is even more ridiculous. What kind of creatures are these even supposed to be? Even the bear seems more normal!" the demon exclaimed.
"Have you ever heard of Multiverses? It turns out that's basically a thing. So except all kinds of creatures to be around nowadays. Fortunately, the Ghoul Realm is somewhat less affected." Firebrand exclaimed.
"And what kind of castle is this? It does not even look like a proper fortress!" Arma spat again.
"It's more of a... futuristic base thing? If I were you, I wouldn't give too many thoughts."
Arma growled to himself and crossed his arms. Firebrand sighed and raised his shoulders.
"Sorry about that. The big guy isn't very familiar with other universes." he apologised
"Well... I'm a bit disappointed I did not have a good fight with those aliens. But I suppose my rival's reemergence makes up for it." the Red Arremer then said.

"Yeah, but what about me? I wouldn't wanna approach my Dark self if we ever meet! But I'll see what I can do if she ever attacks!"
The Surface
Frisk SAVEs at the final SAVE Point before following everyone to the exit, passing by the emergency portal Alphys made back when G-13 was on the loose. They all walk near the edge of the mountainside
◊, with 6k1 gently tugging Mimi's harness before she could fall off and Asgore and Toriel standing next to each other.
"Oh my..." says Toriel, "it's just like the sunrise when we first stepped out!"
"Isn't it beautiful, everyone?" asks Asgore.
"Of course, it is!" says 6k1, "I've always wanted to see the sun here, and I'm finally crossing that off my old travel itinerary!"
"You mean to say that you wanted to see the entire Underground for your vacation?" asks Asriel.
"Yep, but I had to cut that short due to... an emergency..."
"Aww..."
Asgore and Toriel sigh, remembering when Bill Cipher invaded the kingdom just to cruelly prank them and their subjects while 6k1 was visiting, but they don't let that ruin this moment.
"I could stand here and watch this for hours..." says Mimi.
"Yes, it is beautiful, is it not?" says 6k1.
Asgore and Toriel lightly chuckle at their reactions, then hold hands and look at Asriel, who's also admiring the view.
"Gorey..."
"What is it, Tori?"
"As much as we're all happy to be together again, we should really think about what comes next."
"Oh, right. But I think we need to talk about this somewhere else..."
Asriel, meanwhile, notices something familiar in the forest down the mountain and gulps.
"Mom? Dad?"
"What is it, son?" they ask.
"I can see Chara's village from here..."

Glad it worked out for ya. Now what are we doin'? (Eye-Sicle asks.)

"Well, I'll guess we four are going to our respective kingdom. I also have my own nominator to warn about Arma." Firebrand said.
"About that... I am not moving from here until you give me an explanation." Arma growled.
Firebrand sighed and explained what he knew about the Multiverse, the HGS the noms, and even his own runs. Arma let out a loud laugh when his rival mentioned his newfound passion.
"Ah! So the mighty Firebrand, the Red Blaze, legend amongst legend, one of the most powerful demon in the Ghoul Realm... turns out to enjoy playing with a paintbrush like a mere infant." he mocked.
"Excuse me, but you should have seen Blue Peal's face when I showed her my work! But since you're so obsessed about defeating me, how about you go to the arena and or go to Power Stroke's art school as well?" Firebrand said.
"Nonsense. If you think I am going to waste my time with such drivel, you are sorely mistaken Firebrand." Arma scoffed.
"Then I'll just beat you for the fourth time until you do what I want... Unless you decide to do so in our next season."
"Hmph. I admit this... simulator is an intriguing thing. I am not against proving my worth here. Still, I cannot understand why this competition to the death is so dependant on luck and randomness instead of pure skill."
"Trust me, I had the same reaction for my first time. But it's for fairness. Imagine if we are both against human teenagers who are not even armed. I'll explain more on our way home before I contact Scipion." Firebrand explained. Arma nodded more and less understanding.
"And before we go, if you want to cause trouble in our homeworld, or everywhere else, I'll keep watching you." Firebrand cackled.
"I expect no less from you... Until I finally claim victory, that is."
"Keehee... We'll be going now. And you two? Even though I don't really why get you and your clan are so submissive to humans... I think you're good gargoyles. Maybe I'll spar with you someday to see what kind of demon you would be." Firebrand said to Brooklyn and Goliath.
He got cut short when Arma fired a projectile at a nearby wall, creating a hole in it.
"For Lucifer's sake... Arma I already pierced a hole in their roof!" Firebrand complained, showing the hole in the roof.
"As if I care. And this place stinks. Some fresh air would be appreciated." Arma growled, spreading his wings. He only bothered to give a small nod at Goliath and Brooklyn before taking flight.
Firebrand grunted and grabbed the metal circle that was originally part of the wall with his feet and flew outside. There, he tried to "reattach" it before flying after Arma.
Obviously enough, it didn't take long for the circle to fall again, this time outside of the lair.
Surface
Prince... an old, stoical voice resonated inside Asriel's mind.
He would see the shape of an old cloaked woman only he could see and hear behind him, but she quickly disappeared before he could see her properly.
Young prince...
The woman teleported once more, this time next to the group.
You made it this far, but your journey is far from complete. Meet me where your sibling's village once stood. The key for your salvation awaits there.
Kreia calmly walked away towards the forest and disappeared from sight.

Uh, sure. (Brooklyn nods. He internally grimaces when Firebrand implies that he doesn't think much of humans, just like someone else he and Goliath are familiar with.)
(Goliath still isn't that keen about Firebrand's own opinions about humans either and would rather not be seen as a demon, but he nods at Firebrand and Arma nonetheless.) Until we meet again.
(Eye-Sicle groans when they once again make a huge mess as they leave.)
(After a moment of silence, Huckleberry Hound remarks:) You fellers sure must meet the most interestin' people out here.
You don't even know the half of it...uh...whoever you are. Let's just get everyone who's leavin' outta here and everyone who's stayin' ready for the next season already, alright? (Eye-Sicle says, rubbing his temples.)

"Yeah! But that makes me wonder... what does your Dark counterpart see in her if their relationship's just like ours?"
The Surface
Asriel hears the mysterious voice and asks who's there. He turns around and sees no one behind him, but the voice calls him again. Kreia then shows herself only to him and beckons him to follow her into the forest. Asriel turns to his family, who's still admiring the sunset, and starts going down, but 6k1 notices him and leaves Mimi with Frisk before following Asriel.
"Where are you going?" she asks him.
"Down to the village..." he says. "A hooded lady told me that I'm needed there..."
"What hooded lady?" she looks around. "We're the only ones here, Azzy."
"But I saw her teleport here before disappearing..."
6k1 pats his head a few times. "You must be seeing things, brother."
"But sis... I'm telling you the truth. It might sound crazy, but she said I'll be saved if I go to the village."
"Are you sure? This might be a trap..."
"But I dunno what might happen if I disobey her..."
6k1 sighs. "Fine, I'll accompany you there, but you must stay close to me, okay?"
"Okay..."
She takes his hand and calls Toriel that they're going down because "something came up". Toriel gets worried, but she trusts 6k1 that she'll watch over Asriel for her. Mimi, however, looks in their direction and gently tugs her harness...
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
"Dunno. Maybe he thinks she's Creepy Cute or somethin'?"
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Surface
Chara's village has been abandoned some time ago. The only things remaining would be several houses here and there and a fountain of golden flowers at the center.
A lone, cloaked woman was there, watching the entrance of the ruined village. She turned back and calmly watched Asriel and 6k1 approached. Only the bottom of her face could be seen. One could tell she was quite old.
"At last you have arrived... Is this place as you remember?" Kreia asked the goat. She was not at all surprised by 6k1's presence.
"It is indeed just as I thought. Despite not knowing me and the risks of this being a trap, you still came out of curiosity. And the Database Manager could not let you go either, I see. It would not surprise me as well if your Starble escapes their sight and joins you too." she said, having felt Mimi's intentions to follow her owner from afar.
"You're married like me, you know monstrosity can take many forms."

"Y-You think? Then I guess he likes petting her as much as you like petting me..."
Power lowers her head as she says that, awaiting her usual headpats.
"Anyway, the next themed season is Purple Season, and I know who 6k1's gonna nominate for that!"
The Surface
6k1 and Asriel arrive at the village, and Kreia greets them at the entrance. Asriel looks at the fountain up ahead and winces as his memories here return.
"Th-That's where I— I mean, they laid their own body... and then the villagers attacked..."
"But how would visiting this place save him?" 6k1 asks Kreia. "And don't worry about my pet, I trained her not to run off to places where she shouldn't be."
Meanwhile, Frisk feels Mimi tugging on her harness and chases her down the mountain, but Asgore and Toriel catch them.
"Where are you going, my child?" Toriel asks Frisk.
"Mom and Azzy went down for something, Nana!" Mimi answers for them.
"Just let them be, they'll handle this on their own!"
"But I'm afraid something bad might happen to them..."
"Don't worry Mom, I'll watch over her," says Frisk.
"Alright, but please call me if there's any danger, my child."
"But Tori," says Asgore, "they traveled the entire Underground on their own to fight me. I am sure they will take care of themself."
"But this is the outside world, Frisk! Remember that not everyone up here would want to be friends with you!"
"I know, but he's right. I'm determined enough to keep safe, but I'll let you know if we're in danger."
"Alright then, just make sure Mimi doesn't run away from you, okay?"
"Okay, Mom."
Frisk hugs her before entering the forest with Mimi. They see the village up ahead, but they remain hidden behind the trees. Mimi takes a peek and tries listening in on the conversation.

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
"Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. She did seem a tad Harley Quinn-ish over him."
He provides said headpats.
"Dunno how that, of all themes, managed to win over Pirate Season and Ice Season."

Power's Home
"Well, color seasons are popular since they're easy to think of tributes for! But I'm sure those two will have their turn in the future!"
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
"True enough. Here's hopin' you're right, Pow-Pow."

Dark Libre's Lair
Dark 6k1's transmission ends.
"...Fine by me. Not like I need help anyway." Dark Libre chuckles shortly afterward.
He activates an Improbability Drive near him, causing the landscape to shift, form buildings, and people to manifest, turning a transformed piece of barren land into a proper facility.
Base RW
"Hey Robotnik! There's a message sent to us!" Coconuts tells Dr. Robotnik.
"Hmm..." Dr. Robotnik decides to open the message.
Welcome. I am the dark counterpart of Nominator Libre. I seek to spread the Dread Powers, fears of living things across the infinite amount of universes that- Robotnik discards the message.
"...huh? What're you discarding that message for?" Coconuts asks.
"Too ambitious of a plan there, involving the multiverse. I seek to take over all of Panem first!"
"With Dr. Wily?"
"...with him, of course." Dr. Robotnik says disgruntlingly.
SWORM.fla
Libre wakes up. He notices the worms leaving his body. "...yeah, get off of me." He takes notice of his surroundings. It's hellish, chaotic, ever-shifting, ever so strange. He notices a Voidlands Bug. "I...why is that insect so big, and why do I feel unsettled by its face?" He starts trudging through the land, noticing the gigantic flower-like plants, looking up, and noticing the massive Voidlands Butterfly. "GAH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT MASSIVE BUTTERFLY!?" He quickly runs and hides in a big rock.
"Dear god, what is this place..." Suddenly, a chain bursts out of another rock, embedding itself into Libre's chest. "...YAAAA-" He quickly gets dragged into the rock just as he starts screaming.
DANGER.fla
He bursts out of a rock with a severe physical headache, and notices the sky of the chaotic landscape gaining what appears to be a...red tint, all over. "AAAAAAAAAGH...Fucking chains, they hurt..." He notices a tape cassette, but just after he picks it up from curiosity and...familiarity, he quickly gets tugged in the back from another chain, dragging him into the wall as he yelps in pain again.
He ends up in the Arena, seemingly in Season 166 all over again, except...the sky's a sickening shade of red and black, and Karl seems to be riddled with worms, his face...the lower jaw being missing. Karl seems to stare at him...in a bad manner, one way or another.
He tries to escape the Cornucopia, but suddenly the podium forcefield zaps him, and chains impale him from above and below, dragging him into a garden.
INABILITY.fla
He bursts out of a heap of trash, and notices the Webking Hou-
".....you. You brought me here..." Oh no. It's Red.
"shit shit SHIT-" Libre quickly flees into the Webking House. All the way, he's aware that the sky's in a sickening, almost eye-straining shade of red and teal. Inside, a mess of tapes can be found, and-
...what the...It's...Jace. But...he looks pretty abominable.
"...Libre."
"Jace, I uh...what the hell's happening here and to me!?" Libre asks frantically.
"You fucked up."
"F-Fucked up in wha-" Jace inhumanly screeches at him, impaling him and cutting him into pieces with his legs and mandibles.
Eye-Sicle's Lair
Well, that sure was a roller coaster of a season. (Wanda remarks after the season ends.)
I do hope those other versions of ourselves...or whatever they are, recover well. (Cleo says.)
(Just then, the intercom goes off.) Come in, guys! Come in! (Tay calls.)
What's up, babe? (Kay asks.)
Good news! The tribute chamber is fully functional again! At least for the time being. (Tay says.) I'm sure Eye-Sicle will be pleased.
Who do ya have up there? (Kenny asks.)
(Two other voices cut in. Both have Southern-sounding accents, but the second voice's accent is waaaaay thicker.)
Hey, that there fella sounded like he comes from 'round my neck of the woods!
Howdy down there! Yall can hear me, right? Yall've got some pretty darn fancy stuff in this here place.
Hey, I know those guys! (Jabberjaw says.) Heya, Huck! Quick Draw! I'm here, too!
Huh, ain't that a coinkydink. How ya doin', Jabberjaw? (Huckleberry asks through the intercom.)
Pretty great! I got second place in these crazy Games when I went through 'em! Ain't that great? (The shark replies.)
Hey, good luck to you guys. (Kay says.)
Thanks! With my Kabonger at my side, gettin' through these games should be a piece a' pie! (Quick Draw replies.)
...Erm, pardon me for asking, but what exactly IS a "kabonger"? (Cleo asks.)
It's Quick Draw's guitar, ma'am. (Huck says.)
Oh, I see. (Cleo says.) So odd...
Earth-ME3
Goliath! Am I just stoked to see you! (Brooklyn says upon seeing Goliath.)
We mean to bring you back to New York, yes. (Goliath says.)
(Unfortunately, any semblance of this meet-up going peacefully goes out the window when Arma asks if Eye-Sicle is Firebrand's pet.)
PET?!! (Eye-Sicle shouts, indignant.) WHY YOU-!
(He immediately fires a laser from his eye at the other demon.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
