SAY HELLO TO YOUR CHILDHOOD

[doitrockapella]

...Or at least to mine. c:

Hey, everybody, Alex here (the person behind Yagyuu | usedlaserbeam), currently fulfilling one of her RP dreams by bringing you the one and only Carmen Sandiego. For those who weren't intimately acquainted with her incredibly 90's TV show and assorted other forms of media, Carmen is a damn good thief with a penchant for history and geography...which means she won't just steal your shit; she'll make you learn something trying to get it back.

As a note on fourth-walling for a minute — I know Carmen is a fairly iconic character and I don't mind fourth-walling in the form of "Oh, man, that's Carmen Sandiego", because she's famous in her own world and quite frankly gets that a lot from perfect strangers, anyway. I'd prefer if people didn't fourth-wall her on the intimate details of her personal life, but just recognizing her as Carmen Sandiego and knowing her penchant for thievery is A-OK. (Just don't be surprised if she leads you on a grand chase immediately afterwards!) And please ask if you have any concerns or questions! I don't bite.

I'll hopefully be introing her a little later today, but in the meantime there's one more thing you have to do, you know what it is...

(DO IT, ROCKAPELLA!)

My childhood too! I don't even need to click that link to get the song in my head... :D

[doitrockapella]

I have literally had that song in my head for the past week and a half, ever since this whole ridiculous endeavor started. It is the greatest/worst earworm ever.

[last_to_kneel]

Holy cow!!

[doitrockapella]

Oh, no, she's not after any golden calves today, player. Just an excursion into the wonderful world of Pokemon.

[last_to_kneel]

LOL, I heard that in her voice too. It's so good to see her out too! Thanks for bringing her in!

[doitrockapella]

I'm glad to hear I've got her down! I'm so excited about this, you have no idea.

[last_to_kneel]

You're definitely doing it right. I think it's awesome! I can feel the excitement building. He now has two eevee, one he's watching, the other is his.

[darkenedgales]

IS THIS REAL LIFE

all of my kindergarten memories

RIGHT HERE

*A*

[doitrockapella]

HINT: IT'S NOT JUST FANTASY

THIS IS LIKE THE ULTIMATE COLLISION OF THE 90'S

CARMEN SANDIEGO AND POKEMON, RIGHT HERE, OH SNAP

[nasa_dreams]

Damn it. Now I'm so tempted to app Waldo so they can OTP like crazy.

[doitrockapella]

NO ONE WILL EVER FIND THEM

It would be the most beautiful.

[nasa_dreams]

I HAVE AN ICON OF THEM AT A FANCY RESTAURANT AND WALDO IS WOOING HER.

[doitrockapella]

I HAVE A COMIC OF THEIR FUTURE.

[nasa_dreams]

You win.

[kougameleon]

Wow! Never thought I'd see Carmen.

[doitrockapella]

I am really excited to give her a shot! I think it'll be a lot of fun.

[the_whitequeen]

Kyahhh~~~ my first girl-crush~!

I am so happy to see her here! You have no idea.

[doitrockapella]

Oh my god rewatching all the episodes these past two weeks reignited my girlcrush something fierce. I AM SO WITH YOU ON THAT.

I'm really looking forward to playing her!

[the_whitequeen]

I feel so old now. But I used to never miss an episode of her show. I watched gargoyles around that time too ...

I love Ivy and Zack too. Now I wish someone will app them here ... it would be fun to see them chase each other all over the place again.

[doitrockapella]

I keep vowing to find out if any characters in Route are voiced by Scott Menville or Jennifer Hale, and then having Carmen be SO CONFUSED if she hears them on the network because dammit, she knows that voice, it's Zack! And Ivy! ...Except not.

(And also because, y'know, Scott Menville and Jennifer Hale are in basically everything ever, so.)

Not gonna lie, I'd love to see them around, even if the chances of it happening are slim to basically none.

[the_whitequeen]

Hahaha~ That would be funny.

I wish I could offer to play Zack, but not in my schedule and my brain capacity.

[doitrockapella]

ZAAAAAAAAAAAACK

He'd be so lost without Ivy, though. :(

Who would catch him all those times he falls off all those buildings? It's not like Carmen's gonna do it, jeez. Yes she would, she just won't admit it. And then he'd be afraid of all of the reptiles and Carmen would hassle him mercilessly and...yeah, it'd be beautiful.

[the_whitequeen]

That is true. Darn. I'll enable one when I can.

And being evil, I would probably get him the reptile Pokemon. I really miss this show! ;A;

[doitrockapella]

Well, Carmen plans to name a couple of her Pokemon after them, so they'll be here in spirit! And I'm sure she'll reminisce about them sooner or later. Oh, her detectives. ♥

[ex_aeroga402]

This is the first time I've seen somebody play Carmen Sandiego, and like others I remember her from my childhood. Totally looking forward to seeing her in action ♥

[doitrockapella]

Welp, no pressure at all, then, right?

No, I'm just kidding, I'm really looking forward to giving her a shot. I think she'll be a load of fun and I can't wait to bounce her off everybody here! o/

[comeatmibro]

don't mind me, I'll just be over here looping this Youtube video like I did yesterday.

[doitrockapella]

And then she gets five badges and that music starts playing every time she battles.

And she's just like .......what.

Why is there a--what.

[comeatmibro]

that makes me want to get Sherlock five badges, just so this can be his battle theme. /chinhands.

[doitrockapella]

She could always dare him into beating the gyms.

Or, you know, some other humiliating way of getting him to do it, if he otherwise wouldn't.

[comeatmibro]

I'm sure something can be arranged. /steeples fingers.

[doitrockapella]

I have an icon for that, too.

(She will step on his sheet and refuse to get off it until he beats Faulkner, clearly)

[comeatmibro]

(it's super effective!)

[foolishwren]

I HOPE YOU KNOW PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY WAS COMPLETELY STARRY-EYED OVER YOUR APP

INCLUDING ME

I JUST

I CANNOT EVEN--

CARMEN SANDIEGO

[doitrockapella]

I AM REALLY REALLY GLAD IT WENT OVER SO WELL

PLAYING HER HAS BEEN ONE OF MY LIFE DREAMS OKAY

AND THE PROSPECT OF THROWING HER INTO POKEMON WORLD WAS JUST TOO MUCH 90'S TO REFUSE

/welcomes TWO DAYS LATER

[licentious]

THESE TWO NEED CR.

I WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

oh my god please tell me she can steal an entire region in this game. That'd be such a fun event.

[doitrockapella]

LUCKILY I WANT ALL OF THE CR EVER SO

I AM HAPPY TO OBLIGE

weeeeeell an entire region may be a bit out of her league... but I may or may not be eyeing that background music a little. >>

[weaponry]

STEAL IT. BECOME A LEGEND.

oh god oh god this is perfect. (yay)

[doitrockapella]

I would be OOC if I didn't, really.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS I AM EXCITED COME AT ME

[weaponry]

YEEEEEEEEES. ladies in red kicking ass and robbing (yea)
