(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.

As Galis returns to the base, a pack of wolf mutts spot her.
"I could mop the floor with them, but fuck it. Gotta run."
She then makes a run for it. She barely outruns the mutts

Psyche nods as she listens to how her fellow nominators typically go about with their tribute aftercare. She's particularly interested in Billy's power-suppressing mechanisms. "I should probably ask the potion-makers who work for my school to come up with a solution for removing or suppressing their powers," she says. She quickly pulls out her phone and texts Ms. May, asking her to relay her message to said potion-makers. Ms. May soon responds affirmatively.
When BTS return to the party, V catches sight of Yukari and instantly feels much more comfortable. He points her out to his bandmates, and they all give her smiles and waves. She'd helped them out so much that they'd do anything to assist her in kind; in fact, they've been thinking of dedicating a performance to her specifically.
With renewed confidence, they approach Psyche. For a moment, there's an uncomfortable silence. Psyche is ultimately the first one to speak, taking a deep breath to compose herself.
"I understand if you guys don't have it in your hearts to forgive me," she says. "But I want you all to know that I'm so, so sorry for the way I've treated you, as my tributes. For the longest time, I've avoided meddling with my tributes' memories, powers or injuries because I think it's more interesting if they're all carried on in future seasons and outside of the Arena, but... I never quite considered just how badly they might've affected them, especially those who've been through a lot.
"You've all been through so, so much, more than most of my other tributes, but I never once thought that any of you deserved it. I don't nominate you guys because I want to see you suffer, or anything like that. I do it because I'm an ARMY and I love to see how you perform in each season. I maintain my stance that I'm not responsible for any of the other tributes' actions in the arena. However, I am responsible for my own tributes' wellbeing. And that's a responsibility I've ignored for a very long time." She shudders, briefly remembering how she'd mismanaged Satoko and Gundham back in the Original Timeline.
"Starting today, I want to start taking on that responsibility. I must remove you guys' powers before the next season begins, because that's a rule us nominators have to follow."
Jimin scowls in disbelief.
"I don't know what, if anything, can be done about your immortality and inability to die, though, V, even though those were acquired during the season. We'll have to make some arrangements on what to do with you if your bandmates... well, die next season."
V shudders.
"But I think, most importantly of all, I need to erase you guys' memories. If I do that, you won't be haunted by the past anymore. You'll all feel much happier and be able to continue your work much more efficiently."
The boys exchange glances. There's silence for a moment or two, as though they're having a wordless conversation with each other.
Then RM meets Psyche's gaze. "Don't."
Psyche blinks. "Huh?"
"Don't erase our memories. We want to keep them."
Psyche gulps. "A-are you sure about that?"
"Yes." That was Jimin's quiet, hesitant voice. "What's done is done. We don't want to run away from our pasts or ignore them."
"I think we all came out a lot stronger in the end," J-Hope adds.
"B-but..." Psyche points at V. "You were the victim of the most horrifying, most dreaded fate known to Panem! You were trapped in an infinite death loop! You've experienced more death scenarios than any other tribute! And yet... you want to keep all that in your memories!?"
"Yes," V replies firmly. "It... it's still painful, I won't lie. It still hurts to think about. But... it's something that's happened to me. That's the truth. I can't hide from that."
Psyche takes a deep breath. She's... kind of amazed. "Wow. You guys... your strength... is incredible."
Jungkook grins. "We are bulletproof!"
"We are bulletproof!" the other boys echo.
Psyche can't help but smile. "So... you guys forgive me?"
RM nods. "As long as you don't nominate us or our friends or family too often from now on... we forgive you. Because our journey, dark and frightening as it was, has opened our eyes to so many things. And we think we can use our experiences to create even better music that will resonate with ARMY."
All of the boys nod in agreement. Even Jimin has a small smile on his face.
"I'll try not to nominate you guys too much from now on," Psyche promises. "I really hope that nothing too terrible happens to you next season."
"I don't think it will," says Suga. "We've got each other. We're in this season as one. We'll be fine."
Psyche tears up a little at that as she keeps smiling. "Yeah. You can do it. You are bulletproof."

After everyone recollects themselves, they go back to partying. The Ramons continue talking with Nemo, Twilight lets Gale join her conversation with Starlight and Starfall (while still wondering what's taking Power so long), Sans continues his pun-off with Cirno and Ika, while 6k1 takes another glance at the TV and giggles at Gotchu playing with Alexa.
Yukari then approaches Sans.
"'sup?"
Toriel also sees Asgore and approaches him.
"Greetings, Asgore."
The goat king turns around. "Tori?"
"Do not 'Tori' me, Dreemurr."
"Alright, alright. Old habits, huh?" He makes a nervous laughter.
"Anyway, it's been a long time since we last talked to each other like this. How's the regent doing?"
"They're ruling the kingdom just fine. Papyrus wanted to join the Guard so he could talk to them, but Undyne wouldn't let him."
Toriel chuckles. "Oh Papyrus... he never changes, huh?"
"Haha..."
Asgore then notices the bracelet and holds it in his hands.
"That's a lovely bracelet you have, Toriel. Where did you get it?"
"My daughter gave this to me after she visited me during her vacation."
"What a lovely thing for her to do, I have to admit. Where is she, by the way?"
"She's just over there at the buffet table."
"And Frisk?"
"They're on their way here with her other tributes, wanting to go on an adventure with them."
"I hope they're safe and having fun as well."
"Would you like to meet 6k1 first?"
"Sure thing."
"Alright, I'll be right back."
Toriel goes to the table and finds her.
"My child... there's someone I'd like you to meet."
The Lost Woods
Power lets the kids process all that she said before answering Ichi.
"Remember during the funeral, when she asked Simba if he remembered her? That's her way of making sure that he still remembers his nominator."
"He was 'stolen', too?" asks Ralsei.
"Yes, in the same season as you and Kris, when you were nominated as one tribute."
"Who nominated him?" asks Frisk.
"Again, no idea, but he and Nala were together again. Too bad Zira finished him off early..."
"Ow," both Carlos and D. A. say.
"I don't understand why she'd be that sensitive to tribute theft when she's still happy for my podium finishes."
"Yeah, she keeps talking about how Asriel used to be her tribute..."
"Maybe she just misses him as much as I do..."
"What about me?" asks Ralsei. "Will my previous nominator(s) be upset if I make the podium under her?"
"Well... I can't speak for them, but whenever 6k1... 'steals' tributes, she just hopes the other nominator(s) doesn't/don't mind."
"Why?" the kids all ask.
"Because she doesn't want them to think that she's betraying them."
"So let me get this straight," says Carlos. "She doesn't want others nominating her tributes, yet she's fine with nominating theirs? All because of this fear of betrayal?"
"If my calculations are correct, how badly she reacts to tribute theft depends on the tribute themselves."
"That's right, D. A.," says Power. "I remember when Twilight wasn't nominated by her in OT S203... and she won. To say that she didn't take it well would be an understatement."
"Did 6k1 even know the other nominator's reasons for sending Twilight there, and if they knew the latter was previously her tribute?" asks Ralsei.
"Well... it's best that you ask her yourself."
"But what about that time when that then-new nominator sent Mom there in Reboot S42?" asks Frisk.
"She wanted to give them a chance since Toriel was their very first tribute, so she took that in stride."
Frisk just nods while Power turns to Dave.
"What about you? How would you feel if someone else nominated Nemo?"
She also asks Ichi the same question regarding his tributes.

Kirby then goes off for some more meal. He sees some quesadillas and eats them. Meanwhile, Ribbon is trying to chat with Zanreo about what she knows about her and Kirby. Meanwhile, Ness and Paula try some chocolates. Mr. Star tells 6k1 "Man, you sure do like those stuff."
The Forest Clearing
As the sun sets, a being similar to Kirby, but blue and seemingly made of yarn, and a fairy-like being with rainbow hair and a clay-like appearance, arrive at the scene. They are Prince Fluff and Elline, old allies of Kirby, and they are going camping.
As they set down their tent, they make a campfire, where they prepared some marshmallows. It was then they see Ichigo and Dave's groups. They promptly approach them.
"Hello there! Are you going camping too?"

As Vulgrim continued to get frustrated at the lack of customers, he calms down a bit.
"I should be getting some soon. In the meantime..."
He leaves the shop in search of some souls that weren't taken. He manages to find a few, place them in his bag, and goes back to the shop.
"And that's less litter the Peacekeepers will deal with."
"At first, I was like "hmmm, yeah, buff choccy bunny." But bro: I don't think it's a joke anymore..."

"Well, I don't have a monopoly on my tributes, so I wouldn't get salty if someone else nominated, say, Harley or Kylo. Heck, if they managed to reach the podiums under another nominator, then good for them," he says. "For example, I've sent in Venom on more than a few occasions, but I didn't complain when Mett nominated him that one time. Long story short: it's neither 'tribute theft' nor 'betrayal' because we don't own them, and I honestly can't fathom why 6k1's so possessive of hers."
"Don't get me wrong, I like her as much as everyone else, but this attitude is... super unhealthy and completely unlike the 6k1 I know. Not to mention a tad hypocritical if she herself indulges in submitting tributes that other nominators have sent in."

6k1 stops chewing on her quesadillas and gulps down some water.
"What? I can't help it! I am Power's human counterpart, after all!"
She wipes her mouth with a table napkin and turns to Toriel.
"Sorry about that Mom, but... Asgore's here?!"
"Yes, my child. Let's have a nice talk with him, shall we?"
"Sure thing."
As they go to him, 6k1 looks back at the table. There's a chocolate fountain right in the middle.
"Mom, make sure he doesn't go near that..."
Toriel sighs. "Don't worry, I will."
The Lost Woods
"I know right, Ich? We need to have a talk with her."
"Oh, now I remember who nominated me and Kris in that one season!" cries out Ralsei. "I should ask Mett if he remembers me, too!"
Power then notices Prince Fluff and Elline arriving. They ask her if she's going camping.
"Oh yes, we are! We're just telling stories about each other! Wanna join us?"
"Yeah! And D. A. and I are ready to share ours!"
"We're gonna share with you one of our favorite field trips! It was so hard picking just one!"
"Also we were talking about our nominator, but... it's personal," says Frisk.

"Indeed, we do, Power. Maybe we should do so on the way back from the party, so as to not bring the festive mood down."
At the mention of a field trip, he chuckles as he recalls the time that Ms. Frizzle had somehow roped the likes of Varus, Malware, and even the God Emperor of Mankind himself into a reenactment of her log gremlins field trip, costumes and all.

"Sure, why not?" said Prince Fluff.
"Do you know this boy?" asked Elline as she shows them a picture of Kirby.
"A party, you say?"

After everything is said and done, Jin excuses himself and goes off to look for Sans. He is pleasantly surprised to find him with two blue-haired girls, both of whom appear to be cracking some quality puns.
"Ah, are these our new recruits?" he asks casually as he takes a seat at the buffet with them.
Meanwhile, Psyche and the other members have moved on to casual, light-hearted chatter about BTS' music. The other members are all taking quite some time to warm up to her, especially Jimin, but the tension isn't as bad as it was before. Psyche even expresses her excitement for Suga's new mixtape. Suga smiles upon hearing that he is Psyche's bias.
As these are happening, two new tributes burst into the base after passing the security measures. "Sorry we're late!" a female voice calls. "The Great Ninja Maki and her useless comedy-relief sidekick are finally here!"
"Do you have to be so loud!?" a male voice yells. "I wanted to sneak in!"
Psyche giggles. "My other tributes are here!" she tells the boys. "Maki and Kaito. They're very much unlike their canon selves, though."
Felix approaches the two newcomers and carefully examines their clothing. He nods at Kaito, but clicks his tongue at Maki. "Bare arms. Unacceptable. And of course you had to show some leg, too..." He tilts his head. "Aren't you supposed to be a ninja?"
"Correction: I am a ninja," says Maki.
"But ninjas are completely covered-up," says Felix. "In fact, they're the most beautiful people out there." He glares at Maki. "You're not a true ninja if you don't follow my dress code!"
Maki glares right back at him. "Do you wanna die?"
"Do you?" Felix takes out a long, sharp blade.
Maki laughs. "You have balls if you think you can defeat the Great Ninja Maki!" She takes out her own sword, and the two of them are duelling in no time. Kaito watches with interest as he snacks on a hefty bag of earwax-flavoured jellybeans.

The Arena
In the third night, Orin gets a thought about counting how many times Rasputin has died after hearing of his deeds. After few minutes, she comes up with the exact number. Then in the fourth day, Orin finds a disc called "Touhou: The Abridged Series" She then plays it somewhere, showing how the whole population of South America did it with a lot of humorous moments like the Jojo, Yugioh, or Dragon Ball Abridged.
Then in the fourth night, Orin encounters Ridley and tries to get him into sports somehow. But she fails and is forced to get away from him. Then in the fifth day, she finds a spellbook, with the source being said as The Wizarding World. She then reads the book and learns of the Unbreakable Vow, using it to have fun. She then sees Seo Taiji and Kitty Cat, and force them to stand and declare their vows as she casts the spell with a random wand she found.
The in the night, she gets into a dance off with the Squeeze Toy Alien, who managed to escape from her days earlier, and Spyro. The judges are Guy-Manuel, Angus, and Ridley. Despite of her being good at dancing, she still lost to the toy somehow. Then in the day, she encounters President Coin herself, still dumped in the Arena. President Coin immediately spends her time disparaging Orin, causing Peacekeepers to appear and take her away, before President Coin is returned as an avox.
Then, Orin suddenly gets a thought to kill again in the night. Remembering the trainings Sakuya gave her, Orin manages to find a device that slows down time and uses it, before performing a ritual to summon a massive demon that kills Siri, Spyro and Joe while Cyrbog Noodle has to watch the whole thing. After the deed, she then refuses to go to the Feast after seeing deaths from there. Once it's done, she gathers the souls of the dead in her wheelbarrow before resting. In the next day, she decides to summon a demon again for defense, only for a giant lemon to appear.
Meanwhile in the control room, Julius watched as President Snow got killed again after the gamemakers revived him quickly, as well as President Coin becoming an avox. Of course, she will be restored after the season officially ends.
Detective Gamechanger's Base
First, Satori, Koishi and Utsuho see Orin's continued shenanigans. They are surprised to see her losing to the toy, as well as how she somehow turned President Coin into an avox.
Billy then hears Psyche talking about her plans. He first says, "I can help you with the potion." Next he listens to her development as a nominator. He doesn't talk, but he does give her a smile as he has a proud look on his face, even if he doesn't agree with memory wiping like the other nominators.
Then Eirin approaches Psyche during her talk with the BTS members. She says, "According to my calculations after Elliot reveals the truth to us, it is possible to make it so the Hourai Elixir will not be truly eternal, but virtual. This means V can still live forever, but he can be killed."
Yukari soon notices Reimu and Marisa starting to be drunk and V seeing her, before she talks to Sans as Cirno continues making puns at him and Ika, saying "Hello there Sans. I'm surprised to meet you here. Anyway, I just want to say that I finally encounter you after I missed back in Season 61. By the way, I can feel a bit of similar power to me from you."
She and Cirno then sees Felix and Maki fighting near them. Immediately, Cirno says "Great ninja? Aight, I'll ice like you the glacier, because I'm the strongest fairy, even coolder than a ninja." Cirno then fires some cold danmaku at both Felix and Maki. Noticing the fight, Koishi then runs off from Satori and Utsuho in a carefree way, before firing her own danmaku too at both Felix and Maki while saying that she wants to join in the fun. Felix will be able to see that Koishi's maid custom consists of the usual short puffed and frilly sleeves, as well as knee length skirt and tights.
As the fight is happening, Yukari steps back from this and talks to Sans "looks like they are doing an incident here. Anyway, i tired and it's not my business, so going to sit back and relax." Yukari soon sits on a chair, with Ran and Chen following suit. Chen then runs around and takes a fish, before eating it.
Meanwhile, Billy's other tributes talk to themselves about the stuffs there or just random things, while other watch on. Then, Sandy decides to join too, declaring "alright ninja, fairy, maid, and singer. Can you handle my cowboy karate?" Sandy, who is wearing a sleeveless dress with long skirt then runs to them, before trying to karate chop Maki while holding her sword so she won't get slashed.
Then, the fight is interrupted when a man materializes as a ghost. He then says, "Hey, Billy May's here to give aid to the fighters. Are you tired of losing? Then worry not, because I have this Felix Felicis potion. This potion can grant you great luck for a duration so you will succeed in everything. Watch this." Billy Mays then uses his supernatural powers to hack the TV for a bit, showing clips of Harry Potter's stroke of luck under the potion. Once he's done, Billy Mays continues "However, I have heard of someone named Felix like this potion. Thus I will give him a discount." Billy Mays then turns to Felix to give him the potion while asking for some money with the range being affordable for Felix.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Sans was still busy cracking puns with the girls when Jin approaches him.
"yeah, that cirno girl's so cool, but ika-chan's sea puns are shrimply delicious! i just hope power and carlos are here before ya leave for the death battle."
He turns to Yukari and says, "really? care to show me your powers? not challengin' you to a fight since i don't wanna hurt anyone here."
Yukari then witnesses the fight and offers to sit back for now.
"alrighty."
Meanwhile, 6k1 catches up with the rest of the season during her and Toriel's reunion with Asgore.
"It's the Feast already and both my tributes there have died?!"
She looks at the entrance. "Oh no, Power and co. are really gonna be late..."
Asgore sees the chocolate fountain on the buffet table, but takes a glance at the TV, too. His face turns green as he puts his hands to his mouth.
"Asgore, are you alright?"
The Lost Woods
"Agreed."
Elline shows Power the Kirby pic.
"Oh yes, he's at the party right now, and of course, you're invited!"
She and the others then settle down for Carlos and D. A.'s story.
"So we were assembling a 3D globe, but D. A. kept insisting on following the instruction manual."
"Carlos, it was to make sure the pieces fit together the right way!"
He rolls his eyes.
"Heh, 6k1 is just like you when it comes to sticking to the rules, right?" Power teases D. A.
"Yep! She also likes science and reading books! What if she nominated me because of our similarities?"
"I mean, you are like Twilight when she was younger, so..."
"Anyway," says Carlos, "it ended up falling apart, and then Ms. Frizzle said that one of the pieces was missing!"
Ralsei gasps.
"She said that the missing piece was on an island that was yet to be discovered! And if we find it, we could give it a name!"
"And so we flew above the ocean searching for it, and I wanted to find it first!"
"No, I wanted to!"
The two of them bicker on how they would've named the island.
"I mean, D. A. just couldn't think of a name without getting her nose out of her books!"
D. A. sighs.
"If I discovered one, I'd name it Determination Island."
"I'd call mine the Island of Hopes and Dreams!"
"I'd say the Island of Friendship and Magic for mine, buuut Twilight would shoot that down."
More marshmallows are eaten before the students continue their story.
"But suddenly, the Bus plane nearly crashed into the middle of the ocean, but it turned into a boat in time!"
Ralsei gasps again.
"We were about to go on the raft, but this bookbag was washed away by the waves!"
D. A. holds it up for everyone to see. Ralsei gasps one more time.
"And you broke down crying like that Dubchich in OT S239, right?"
"No, but I was nothing without my books!"
Carlos and Frisk wince at the mention of the giant robot, which killed Mikey and Papyrus in the Bloodbath of that season.
"I desperately asked Ms. Frizzle to help look for it, and she said yes. She even brought the rest of the class to help!"
"While Arnold didn't wanna do it, as usual, so he joined me in my high seas adventure! Liz accompanied us for our safety."
"Couldn't you have just gone to a bookstore, D. A.?" asks Frisk.
"This bag meant everything to me!"
"Same with this scarf," says Ralsei while holding it up. "It's my only weapon, but I only KO my foes with it."
The students let the audience take that in before continuing.
"During the undersea search for my bag, we learned about how volcanoes are formed. We squeezed into a subduction zone and found ourselves inside the magma chamber!"
"Like Hotland?"
"Did you get burned up?"
"It was like Hotland, yeah, but don't worry Ralsei, the bus was heatproof and pressure-proof!"
Power and Ralsei both wonder how Frisk managed to traverse the volcanic Underground area without fainting from the heat.
"Meanwhile, Arn and I spent hours searching for the island... but we found nothing. Suddenly, the water started bubbling."
"Was the volcano erupting?" asks Ralsei.
"We didn't know that yet, but a bookbag rose to the surface."
"It was mine, wasn't it?"
"Yes, and I read it to help find the island! In fact, Arnold started seeing me as you!"
The others snicker at the mental image of Carlos having his classmate's blonde pigtails.
"So D. A.," asks Frisk, "how did you know you were in a volcano without reading your books?"
"By just observing my surroundings! Ms. Frizzle encouraged it!"
"I'm glad you found a way to do your research even if you lost them," says Ralsei.
"Then all of a sudden," both Carlos and D. A. say, "there was rumbling..."
"The magma was rising..."
"And smoke was blowing out of the water!"
"We had to go out of the Bus in magma suits to remove the boulder that was plugging it..."
"And Carlos Island was born!!!"
Ralsei's mouth hangs open. So does Frisk's, for once.
"Seriously, Carlos? It was Lizard Island!"
"Huh?" both Frisk and Ralsei ask.
"When the volcano launched me into Carlos's raft, I ended up launching Liz into the newly formed island. She planted a flag on it, making her the one who truly discovered it!"
"And so I returned your bookbag..."
"And we decided to write a book about our adventure: Discovering Lizard Island, by D. A. and Carlos."
"Carlos and D. A.!"
"D. A. and Carlos!"
The two of them bicker about the book title but Frisk tells them to stop.
"Fine... Anyway, I enjoyed reading D. A.'s research, for once."
"And I enjoyed doing field research for a change!"
"Sorry that I accidentally washed away your bookbag when I jumped into the raft, though."
"It's okay, it's waterproof, and so are the books inside."
They both hug, and the audience claps for their story.
Power looks at the sky again. It's getting naturally dark, and the stars are coming out.
"Oh no! We're late for the party, so we better get moving!"
Frisk nods and puts out the fire, making sure it's completely doused out, and SAVES one more time as the group packs up and heads to the base.

Seeing all the commotion, Fira decides to say nothing to it. She also makes a mental note to ask 6k1 about the one known as Zorua later. She does, however, raise an eyebrow at Felix's comment that ninjas should always be covered up.
"All ninjas must wear full-covering clothes? That stereotype, really? Ugh."
Meanwhile, Nemo ponders about Mikey and Mr. Ramon's thoughts. He knows the two's memories of S52 had been erased due to the severe trauma they had to endure, although he has no idea in regards to Carlos. "So, I feel really uncomfortable asking this, but are you sure you're ready for the next season?"
The Lost Woods
"Well, I personally would be a little upset if someone else nominates Nemo, because I think of him like a little brother I could never have. Though other than that, I should be fine with it."
The group then listen on to the conversation, before then continuing towards GC's base.
"Hey, speaking of 6k1, didn't she nominate me back in the OT?" Navi inquires.
"I believe so, or was it? I mean.... the timelines of your universe are quite a mess, and not to mention alternate universes...."
"Ugh, don't remind me," Link says, clearly not amused.
"Sorry. Anyway, Navi, are you certain you can handle the next season? I mean.... there's Jimin with the rest of BTS, and he most likely wouldn't be happy to see you, considering the mission I gave you to check and perhaps put him down back then.... which you did with wonders, I'll admit."
"I'll do my best. I mean, I went through a lot worse with Link."
"I noticed. But yes. I'll put my faith in you, okay?" the Hero of Time in question replies.
"I know that you will. You've always been caring towards me, even though it's not in the way I was hoping for."
"That I am. I care because you're not just a companion, but a friend."
The fairy in question smiles. Tatl, meanwhile, says nothing. She knows that the two are very close, and she clearly recalls that Link was only there at the time Termina was in danger was because he was searching for Navi. She secretly feels bad about him in retrospect; he's just looking for a dear friend, only for fate to forcibly make him save another world. And so soon after he lost pretty much everything he holds dear.... Though at least he has his beloved friend back, and Tatl's happy for him to that.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
Lost Woods
"Holy crap, you're right, Pow-Pow. C'mon, Kabal, we're moving out!"
Ichigo gets up and makes his way towards GC's base along with the group, with Kabal not too far behind. He decides that it they were gonna be late, they might as well be fashionably late, and proceeds to play this song on his phone.

Bale got notice from his base that Joe and Rasputin perished while he was away.
Bale: What? Seriously?! Oh for fuck's sake... Pardon my language. I don't feel like reviving either, so leave them at that.
Mr. Godzilla: Got it.
MD: Yep. Hey Charlie, there's two and more souls going to Hell today, see if you can try to redeem them.
Charlie: I'll try my best.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

"I... I need to go to the bathroom..."
Asgore then takes his leave.
"Oh dear, must've been something that he saw in the Games..." says 6k1.
"I know what happened..." says Toriel. "I'll just go check on him."
She likewise takes her leave and waits outside the restrooms.
Meanwhile, Mikey ponders on what Nemo just said. He claps his hands to try summoning something, but nothing happens.
"Well... I'm sure 6k1's confident in me. I'm a little nervous since she had to remove whatever powers I had in my last, but I think I'm ready."
"If that's the case, then good luck, son." Mr. Ramon gives him one last hug.
Suddenly, the security systems confirm another group of guests and let them in. Power and the remaining tributes of 6k1 rush in.
"We're finally heeere!!! Sorry we were all late!"

Gale saw Power and waved his hoof at her.
Gale: Hello Power, nice to see ya drop by.

Eredars then greets Power and co.
"Glad you could make it. Make yourself at home for now."

Ruler of Everything
The Party
Tabby listens the others converse about problems in the games. She speaks up about the matter.
"You know, Zorua may not be the one behind these group tributes, maybe its another force of evil or something. And to Psyche, if you don't have memory wiping tech for your tributes, maybe put them in rehab or something? You have seen what terrible actions BTS did a while back."
She then focuses her attention to Billy.
"If another huge universal threat like Timewrecker emerges, I can lend you some tech from my base or even some DNA Samples."
"When Mr. Star finally arrives, I'll give them a portion of my Sphere Doomer DNA."
She then hears Power and her group arrives and goes to greet them.
"Great,you're here. Well, make yourselves comfortable. Sorry that both of your tributes are dead,I felt that."
She then goes to pick up her drink since all of that talking has made her thirsty.
"What the hell, who touched my drink? It tastes terrible."
She collapses on the floor.
"Tabby!"

"Nah, we're good."
As the others leave, Prince Fluff and Elline bids them goodbye.
"Good luck! Now you still have the graham crackers and chocolate, do you? You know the drill."

As 6k1's other tributes arrive, Kirby, Magolor, and Susie approach them. Kirby hugs Power heartily. Magolor then introduces himself and Kirby to Power and the others. Susie, on the other hand, has this to say to Power and Ralsei.
"Good evening, friends! My name is Susie, and i'm the representative of a company. What's your name?"
Meanwhile, Mr. Star overheard Tabb's words and goes up to her.
"You know i'm here, right?"

"Well, Jimin over there tried attacking Psyche for nominating him and the rest of his band, so we had to leave in case it got worse."
"Yeah... I hope he's okay now..."
"I know, right?" says Twilight. "I just hope it doesn't happen again..."
"oh yeah? don't be so sternum, you can rib me all ya want! but your puns are only gonna tickle my funny bone!"
"Actually, they're a they," says 6k1 to Mr. Star. "And long story short, they're gonna pull a Timewrecker with their tributes in the future. I don't know when they'll strike, but definitely not next season."
She realizes that the other nominators, even Fira, are concerned about this as well, so she announces to everyone, even her tributes via her earpiece: "In case anyone has heard about Zorua, we shouldn't be worrying about them right now. Let's just enjoy the party, shall we?"
"Yeah!" her tributes say through theirs.
"Anyway, I'm starting to get hungry. I'll just be at the buffet table."
She goes there and looks for something good to eat. She spots a plate of quesadillas out in the open, and just like a certain adorable, nerdy little pony, she gorges on them like in the pony's first pre-party meeting.
6k1 looks back at the TV and sees several tributes casually pulling out swords from their abdomens and fighting back.
Heh, they must have the guts to do that...
Suddenly, more of Billy's tributes barge into the base. 6k1 and her tributes look at them like startled cattle.
"Just how big is this venue?!"

"According to my research, Ichi... one of their ingredients is gelatin, which is made up of collagen, a structural protein derived from animal skin, connective tissue, and bones."
Ralsei stops chewing his mallows for a moment before realizing what Power just said about them. He then sees Dave's group catching up with them.
"Sure, you can join us for story time!" says Power. "You just missed Frisk's, though."
"Yeah... had me wondering if I'm connected to their or my universe's Asriel in some way..."
"And if any of you have your own stories after Carlos and D. A.'s, best that you tell them while we're moving."
She points to the sky, which now has a natural sunset color.
"6k1 and the parents might be worried about us already..."
Frisk hands out more marshmallows to Dave's group while they all settle down for Ralsei's story. More applause once he's done.
"Well... my story isn't really done yet... I mean, I still haven't heard from Kris since our last outing in the Arena... Same with Susie, but in Season 29... before 6k1 nominated me."
"You had other nominators?" asks Frisk.
"It's... hard to explain since Kris and I were nominated as one tribute while Susie and Noelle were another. Felt weird for us Delta Warriors to not be fighting together as one..."
"Don't worry, you're not alone in being nominated by someone other than 6k1, assuming that you did have one (or more) before she chose you."
"In what way?" both Carlos and D. A. ask.
Frisk then tells them about the seasons they were in after OT S81.
"Don't mean to brag about my consecutive podium finishes in OT S107, 112, and 197, but Big Sis was proud of me even if I wasn't her tribute back then."
"Well... who nominated you in those seasons?"
"It's... personal, because you see... 6k1's a bit... too attached to some of her tributes."
Power sighs. "I know she loves your mom so much she keeps nominating her again and again in hopes that she makes the podium, and that she'll retire her once she's made it... But there was a time in the OT when Toriel wasn't nominated by her: S157."
"She, Asgore, and Asriel were all together as one, right?"
"Yes, 6k1 wouldn't have taken it well if they made the podium while under someone else, assuming that they did nominate them."
"Really?" the Walker Elementary students ask.
"Yes... She was hoping that they'd Do Well, But Not Perfect in that season, because the three of them making the podium together would mean that Toriel would do so under someone else!"
"So what if she does?" asks Ralsei. "It's a podium finish either way!"
"And she does nominate tributes even if she knows they were nominated before by others, right?"
"Okay kids, get me this... As hypocritical as this might sound... she's afraid of tribute theft."
