Carmen Sandiego Carmen - Tumblr Posts
Carmen, casually throwing her arm around Player's shoulder: Hey, how'd you like to be adopted?
Prime!Carmen, slamming her hands on the table: DONT YOU DARE DISRESPECT ME, LITTLE MAN!
Player, who is, in fact, a lil man: *nervous sweating*
Carmen: I wasn't that drunk!
Ivy: You tried to use a highlighter on Player's face
Player: You said it was 'because I'm important'
Carmen: BUT YOU ARE!
Carmen, arriving at McDonalds: alright! What do you want, Player?
Player: ah... it's okay, I didnt bring any money-
Carmen: did I ask you if you brought money?
Player: n-no?
Carmen: Exactly. Now, what do you want?
Player, in tears (/pos): chimken nuggets...
Villain!Player: huh... I didnt realize that's all it'd take for you to help me. I kind of feel bad about Plan B now
Carmen: wh-whats plan b?
Player, sheepishly: I may have kidnapped the siblings-
Carmen: PLAYER!
Player: BUT THEYRE ALL SAFE AND HAPPY AND FINE!
Ivy: so, apparently Player's computer password isn't "AHHHHH"
Carmen: why did you think it was...?
Player: SHE ASKED IT WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH MY FUCKING WINDOW
Player, @ Carmen after Ivy and Zack join the team: you need to slowly introduce me to them or I'll get scared and start biting like a raccoon.
Carmen, after not hearing from Player for a few days: Heya! It's nice to know you aren't dead in an alleyway!
Player, who just woke up to her calling: Same to you???
EY YO, DARK!PLAYER ENJOYERS! GET YA’LLS JUICE!
Summary:
It's been months since Player first disappeared, months where Carmen and the rest of her team were left waiting for some kind of sign, anything that would lead them to Player.
She gets it on top of a Ferris wheel.

Or, alternatively: The Ferris wheel scene but with Dark!Player instead of Carmen.
WAKE UP DARK!PLAYER ENJOYERS! I AM ONCE AGAIN BACK WITH MORE!!

Summary:
"If you leave for-" He pauses, Carmen can hear the young hacker suck in a breath as he readjusts himself. His voice comes out strained,” Let's say five- no, ten minutes? I'll be gone, all of your things will be fine. I won’t touch any of your data, you have my word.”
“And I’m supposed to trust the word of a trained…” hacker,” Thief?”
There’s a beat, Carmen wonders how quickly she can pick the doorknob's lock but finding a pin in time would be more difficult… “I keep my word,” Player snaps, but truthfully, Carmen can read Player like a book, can hear just how much his voice really trembles,” Unlike you, traitor.”

Or, alternatively;
A small, injured VILE operative turns up in Team Red's headquarters; their own best friend, Player.
And they have to find a way to bring him home, permanently.

Day 7 of Player Week, at last!

Summary for the fic:
"“Z-Zack?” Ivy asked. She took a few steps forward, her eyes bright and terrified. Player snarled. "
Or, alternatively; After being kidnapped, Team Red stumbles upon a very hungry, very vicious vampire... their own teammate.

Player: I just chugged a bottle of NyQuil thinking it was DayQuil so to fix it, I also drank an entire monster.
Carmen: ... is your heart okay?
Carmen: Player, what's this bag of white powder I found in your room?
Player: Oh, that? It's crushed eggshells, for my plants
Carmen: THANK GOD I thought you were doing drugs!
*takes a nap*
Summary:
After attempting escape with Carmen, Player is dragged back and kept in the dark from their punishment.
At least, until Brunt grabs the whip.
(Made for Whumptober Day 10, Poor Unforunate Souls and the prompt Whipping, as well as Day 17, Stress Positions)
Player, nervous and jittery: Hey, umm... Red? I have a confession, I'm... trans. Carmen, incredibly well-being but with the ignorance of someone who grew up secluded on an island: ... like transformer? Player: Carmen: Are... are you a robot? Player, trying very hard not to laugh:
*kindly offers you yet another Carmen Sandiego fic to help advertise Player Week (please go check it out I included a link in the fic)* Summary:
“Just five seconds,” Player pleaded, sounding almost as frustrated and hurt as Carmen felt,” Please. I know you can fight it just long enough to-”
“Don’t.” Carmen warned, again, as the music finally began to lower to a finish. She tried to ignore the subsequent sting in her chest when Player’s expression fell. “Not here."

Or, alternatively; In the wake of their capture by VILE, Team Red attends a gala for VILE and their investors, their wrists fitted with the same mind-control technology they've thwarted countless times before. Only this time, Carmen finds herself unable to fight against the orders she's given, no matter what they are... or which member of her team they happen to hurt.
