*Prologue*
The Christmas 2024 Player's Room Opens up underwater with Halford and Aphrodite in SCUBA Gear searching for the Narrator's Disc for the Presentation.
Hello, I'm Halford Malen from the Mermaid Princess RP Guild and this is Aphrodite, from the same RP Guild. This is the first player's room segment that you see my beloved Aphrodite in SCUBA Wetsuit Gear since she's a mortal human.
The Narrator left a Disc around here somewhere that we need for the Christmas 2024 Player's Room Presentation. Let's hope we can find it because we'll need it and it does not become fish food. Do you know any animal friends of yours and Athena that can help us find it, angel? Halford said to his fiancee and viewers

Halford Malen
Classics Teacher (Aniduria's Father)



[Atlantic Ocean]
Does your Dolphin, Guppy and Turtle friends have names, angel? Halford said to his fiancee and viewers



Dolphin NPC: Lady Aphrodite of Athantica... Its been a while. How can we help? Nice suit and who's your sweetheart?

When the Narrator had a bad week earlier in October, a piece of circular plastic in the form of a Disc was dropped by the Narrator and was lost underwater as a result which was before his 2 Busy RL Appointments and AFTER his Fallout IRL. Have you seen something like that? We need it for the Christmas 2024 Player's Room Presentation. That Disc contains what we need for the Christmas 2024 Player's Room Special. Halford told Aphrodite's dolphin friend what happened.

Dolphin NPC: That sounds awful what happened to the Narrator. I'll help you look. Follow me. The Dolphin leads the way

OOC: I know. October is almost over. So in the Player's Room Christmas 2024, the disc in the player's room has what the narrator needs for the Player's Room 2024 that was dropped underwater.

Halford Malen
Classics Teacher (Aniduria's Father)



[Atlantic Ocean]
Angel, does your dolphin friend have a name? Halford said to his fiancee as he followed to a sunken ship deck where a chest opens showing the disc in question.


Dolphin NPC: Lady Aphrodite, here we are. So, Aphrodite, what's new with you and what's with the diving gear? Please tell me about your sweetheart.


I'm Halford Malen, Aphrodite's Fiancee, she and I love each other and she became a mortal human so we can be together. And look, so that's where the disc ended up. *takes the disc from the chest, then swims to Aphrodite as the chest closes* Got it. Sounds like another "Pearl of Wisdom" like its 2002. Humans use diving gear to breathe underwater, right Angel? When we get back to the submarine, we'll get cleaned up and return to the surface then bring the Disc to the Player's Room. Halford said to the Dolphin and to Aphrodite as he holds the disc

[Atlantic Ocean]
Angel, does your dolphin friend have a name? Halford said to his fiancee as he followed to a sunken ship deck where a chest opens showing the disc in question.


Bubbles: Lady Aphrodite, that's wonderful, what's it like for you to be a mortal human? Oh and I'm bubbles, a dolphin friend of Aphrodite.


Thank you, angel. Nice to meet you, Bubbles. Shall swim to the submarine and talk along the way? Halford said to the Bubbles and to Aphrodite


*Filler Recap 2024: June to August*
As you know, the Narrator had a tough year and explain why the sudden schedule changes... Its best to start what happened this Summer where the Narrator had a fight IRL being we was unable to understand what's real and fictional. The PSA Toll for that in combination with 2 Ivalice Says Back to Backs was 60 PSAs for 3-4 Hours as this made him impossible to sleep and eat as a result.

You would think he would cool down and things would settle down, right?
Spoiler, It didn't. The PSA Time continued in August leading him to do 182 More PSAs for more fights IRL... Halford said to his fiancee as he Swam with Aphrodite and Bubbles to the Submarine and explained how though the year has been for the Narrator.


*Filler Recap 2024: September Going Offline*
About a month later after Lidel opened and returning from the store, a massive network outage where all communications and Transmissions were shut down leaving the Narrator to breakdown out of boredom as a result of a 12 Hour fried ISP & Wi-Fi Connection being fried.


*Filler Recap 2024: September Acid Reflex*
The Very same month where the insanity continues. Sometimes, when the Narrator burps in his sleep, it caused an inflammation at the early hours of the morning from 1 AM to 6 AM or in this case around 3AM in the morning that it happened, causing him to make a mad dash for water to extinguish the inflammation slightly.


*Filler Recap 2024: Wedding Blues*
Next was the news of his sister's wedding in Spring 2025 which added to the stress leading him to a balancing act of the Wedding Trip, the Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, Reception, Morning Gathering just to see the family member one last time & Return Trip as the Travel Cost felt like a luxury to him.


*Filler Recap 2024: October Fallout*
The worst doesn't even end there though. Because around earlier in Mid October, the Narrator was playing Genshin Impact and was recapping in Dragonspine Mountain and his concentration was lost, causing him to get mad for no reason which lead to a VERY BAD Week which was unacceptable IRL after yet another fight leading the breaking point with his parents.

Things got really bad in Genshin when over 1,500 People in Natlan died in the game during the Fire Crystal Arc Acts 4-5 and he was really angry over nothing and that's when he made things even worse causing an emergency appointment to be called with another appointment back to back. As a result, the Fallout went so bad that he has 2 Appointments a Month so to get IRL in order.

*Recap 2024: Overall*
So combine the interrupted item collection with the Mental Breakdown Fallouts, Travel Costs for the Wedding, Stomach Acid Burn in the Early Hours of the Morning, Network Transmission Outage, 182 PSAs for causing a RL Fight with Parents along with Less Eat & No Sleep. Along with AC Repairs leading to Hot Humid and Wet Conditions along with Sliverfish Roach sometimes appearing and flies flying in front of him, which lead to a series of Mental Burnouts, RL Parent Fights & Stress to make him nearly faint from mental exhaustion.

This is the main group of reasons why there was sudden changes in the Game Lab without consent as it was no longer possible to assume things. So as a result, for some Game Lab Games, it would still be planned unless something happens that makes it impossible to salvage where the Narrator doesn't delay it, but cancels a Game Lab Game so as to save some stress.

*Filler Recap 2024: Sever Shutdowns*
The tough breaks don't end there though. One day when the Narrator played the Simpsons Tapped Out, he got a story that he thought was a Simpsons joke but turned out realistic, EA & Disney made the decision to close down the Simpsons Tapped Out after 12 Years of Homer Simpsons Hijinks and Humor. The Simpsons Tapped Out is said to be Delisted by Halloween 2024 and shut down by 2025.

To add insult to injury, Caravan Stories for the PS4 is also said to shut down too by March 2025 after 8 years. One such reason being that the PlayStation 4 will soon stopped Production as its all about the PlayStation 5 nowadays.
Halford continued as they reached the submarine



Bubbles: Lady Aphrodite, are you and Halford heading back to the surface. I hope I was able to help you find what the Narrator lost earlier. Come to think of it. Pearls are found in oyster clams, not Circular Plastic Discs. What presentation is on that plastic disc that you were talking about? Bubbles said to Aphrodite.

*Winter 2002 Jampack Submarine, Airlock*

Halford enters the submarine's airlock with Aphrodite then drain the water in the airlock before entering the sub.
Halford hangs up the diving gear.
That was fun, angel. You can dry off the DVD Disc and put it in the jewel case. Then, we'll get cleaned up. I did pack some clothes with us. Halford said to Aphrodite.

*Winter 2002 Jampack Submarine, Bathrooms*

In the bathrooms
Can't reach the zipper from your wetsuit, angel? Halford said to Aphrodite blushing then unzippers her wetsuit to see Aphrodite standing naked before him, making his heart beat faster. Angel, your body is beautiful. Halford kisses Aphrodite as he uses the bath while she showers after he lets her unzipper his wetsuit revealing his nudity before he gets in the bath after hanging their wetsuits to dry.
