Prompt 2
Oh, wow! Your day certainly seemed exciting! That's great! But...uhh...you seem to be forgetting something. I'm pretty sure this happened at some point in your day. How could you forget it? Remember, that Nutbar creature that just came up to you out of nowhere and demanded that you help it out? That stupid little creature who told you it didn't know where it needed to go, what it needed to get, but it sure as heck needed you to go there and get it for them? Remember, they opened that weird door out of thin air, pointed to a wild goose that appeared out of nowhere that ended up running through the door? The crazy Nutbar pushed you into the doorway too! The doorway closed once you were both on the other side! You came across a whole new strange world! How could you forget that?!

Oooh, I see, your memory of that incident is coming back! At what point in the day did it happen, again? When the nutbar opened that door to another world, what kind of world did the Nutbar make you run through, to chase after that wild goose? It's okay, memories are strange things. Just take it slow, and tell me when it happened, what you thought of it happening while it was happening, and what kind of world you ended up in. What it an alternate universe? Some crazy planet? Based on a video game (Pokemon? Persona 3 or 4? Dokapon Kingdom? .hack? World of Warcraft? Tetris?!)? Other Game (Candy Land, Clue, 13 Dead End Drive, Solitaire, Mahjong)? Book? What do you think of the world, and this crazy smoke creature that keeps licking it's own eyeball to try and think?

**Remember, this happens like the Blind Date RPs do - You're suddenly somewhere else, and time back home just stops. As for the world - the only limit is your imagination! It can be whatever you want it to be.

Prompt Response:
Carina bounced from foot to foot as she flailed her arms and sang her little heart out. The redhead was using the seclusion of the basement playroom to practice her routine for an upcoming local talent show. She was fairly sure that if she sang and danced and changed the designs on her body while doing it she could win or at least get a ribbon or something. It wasn’t easy though because she had to make up all the moves and stuff herself, the dance wasn’t allowed to be the same as the official one for the music you used. Plus the girl had to try and draw steady markings while moving and Carina had to sing so she matched the music and didn’t warble. There was also the matter of convincing her father to buy her a dance costume but that would come once she was good enough to show him she deserved it.

“ThenosyoneisgonenowIneedyourhelpokay?”

Carina didn’t know where Purple had come from but the sudden appearance of the nutbar, it’s single eye staring imploringly at her while the four fingered creature clutched it’s hypnosis disk was enough to startle the curio and make her stop dancing for the moment.

“What do you need help with? I won’t steal food for you and I don’t wanna have a bath together.” Purple was supposed to eat regular meals and there was to be no snacking from the kitchens in between. Carina also no longer felt entirely comfortable bathing with the Nutbar it was.. weird in some way she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

The nutbar shook it’s head, then whole body as it proceeded to do a barrel roll for no discernible reason.

”NonothungryrightnowIneedhelptogetthethingfromtheplace.”
Purple continued to barrel roll and bounced off the playroom wall, then resumed it’s previously upright and staring position .“Wecanhaveabathlateryoumightgetsmellyhelping.” He didn’t sound too sure though.

“What thing and what place?” Carina eyed her friend/pet/servant with uncertainty.


“ThethingintheplacethatIneedyoutohelpwith,” Purple replied unhelpfully. Then without another babbled stream of barely intelligible speak the nutbar waved it’s hands and a gleaming golden door with a silver handle appeared from nowhere. “Gottagointheveryshinydoortogettotheplace.” Purple now seemed entranced by the door even as it reached a two fingered hand forward to open it.

“I don’t want to go through a magic door.” Carina protested. Who knew was on the other side, Purple didn’t seem to even if he insisted she needed to go into it.

The next few seconds were a blur, there was loud distressed honking sound and something that looked like a goose came half running, half flying down the basement stairs then launched itself through the door into the abyss beyond. “Getitgetitgetit,” Purple shouted and with a surprising amount of strength for something so small the Nutbar yanked Carina and itself through the door which disappeared beyond them.

Everything was dark for a moment and when Carina opened her eyes..

Carina: I am a pretty new trainer?
Duskull: Theairistastyhere!
Carina: I want to go back …
Duskull: Iamcoolbutnotscary!
Carina: I am disappointed you won’t listen to me.
Psyduck: Psy?


The young curio had no idea what was going on anymore, Carina was scared, confused and a little bit excited all at the same time. Why had she transformed upon coming here and how long would she have to stay? If she caught a real pokemon and not just something transformed like herself and Purple, and possible the goose, could she take it home?

Prompt 4: the end
Status: done

Carina tucked the still warm pokeball into her bag and twirled the weird golden key she’d retrieved from the goose turned pokemon in her free hand. “This is your shiny, this will help us get home?” Or well at least she assumed Purple would be willing to take her home now that she had it. It seemed sort of stupid that Purple needed her help to get the thing when he was much faster than her even against a normal goose. Then again a lot of what her sort of pet did was stupid when he wasn't following orders.

The nutbar/duskull nodded “YesyesthekeyopenstheboxwiththethingIwant”

“What box and what thing?” Why was he being so mysterious about this? It made Carina a little uncomfortable, she didn’t like to think Purple was up to something. She barely thought him smart enough to plot anything at all and yet he was dragging her into trouble for something.. wasn't he? Surely there must be a real reason, a real thing he wanted.

The nutbar hummed to himself and resumed barrel rolling as well as switching it’s single red eye from eye hole to eye hole within the Duskull mask

“It’sathingIwantbecuaseIneeditIjustknowokay.” The creature waved it’s hand’s vaguely as if to dismiss Carina and seemed genuinely surprised when another door appeared out of nowhere. This one though was different than before, solid grey metal with a riveted frame and with a keyhole under the nob."Ohhwhat'sthis?"

Though she doubted it would be this easy Carina shoved the key in the hole, turned it and then tried to open the door hoping it would take her home. For reasons she didn’t understand the door swung inwards with a loud horror movie like creak. Beyond it lay what appeared to be a wall of iridescent bubbles.

Before Carina could even react Purple had righted himself and darted into the wall. “omgit’sthethingIwantedtheshiniesfrombathtimes” the nutbar, now lost within the bubble world squealed.

Carina frowned then jumped through the doorway. This didn’t seem like a very good idea but neither was losing Purple.
The young girl's feet almost felt like they’d touched something solid for a second and then she began to fall. Oddly enough the bubbles around her, while they felt cold, wet, and springy did not pop. Instead she seemed to squeeze around or slip through them. Even weirder was the tingly skinned, fresh feeling she got as it happened. After only a few seconds she noticed, when not panicking and flailing because she was falling, that her blue hair was turning it's normal red again and that her clothes too were losing their pokeworld colours and returning to how they had been at home. It seemed like the bubbles were scrubbing her clean and keeping the colours for themselves in the process.

“Purple I don’t get it” she shouted. He had wanted bubbles that fixed the mess he got her in in the first place? Bubbles that tasted really bad when accidentally licked, in fact Carina was positive she had actually tasted a colour in one. That didn't make any sense and neither did the idea that a door was a box. Was this going to take them somewhere else then, to the box world that had whatever the nutbar actually wanted?

“Ihadadreamthingwhenasleepwithbubblesonce,” the nutbar replied from somewhere unseen. “Wedon’tneedtowelstoday.”

Carina would have broken her no real violence rule and hit the crazy creature if she could have seen him. This couldn;t have been what he wanted from the start now he was just changing his mind. Fortunately for Purple it was only moments later that Carina found herself falling through normal air and then landing right back where she’d been when they’d left. She wasn’t wet or blue haired and she certainly didn’t have any pokeballs containing shiny Psyducks or geese on her. Everything was as it should be again.

Though Carina had returned Purple was nowhere to be seen and the curio child had no desire to hunt the Nutbar down for answers just yet. Instead she closed her eyes, reached up and twisted the nobs on her forehead to try and make a building headache go away. As she felt the pressure release and the soothing sensation of dark lines emerging on her gray skin the etch a sketch girl told herself to breath and that this was still better than the time Orion made her hunt for a rainbow snipe.
