CSOW - DAY 1: INTRODUCTION - BLANK

In the perspective of Carmen Sandiego, Blank is a young operative in Vile Academy. Having been able to join at the age of 13 as a well known thief in another criminal organization.

Blank before being an Operative was a quiet kid but was approachable. He only seems to talk whenever talked to.

Carmen's view on Blank's character completely changed upon meeting him as an operative for the first time, now being completely against her since she first fled from Vile.

CSOW : AMARYLLIS : DAY 2 : MISSION

LEFT TO RIGHT

SHOEBLADES - His kicks hurt EXTRA because his sharp, metal-tipped shoes can slice, stab, and gash.

POISON CLAWS - Strong opponent or not, if he scratches you more than a few times, you start to become disoriented with every move.

VIALS - He keeps SO MUCH of these in his very tight pockets, and he knows every single one of them. Keep your eye on what he’s throwing!

JAMMERS - Amaryllis on camera? Nice try. His jammers will glitch out any camera or device directed at him, no matter what. He wont be seen.

GAS - What’s that smell?…why do you feel dizzy? Of course, Amaryllis’ poison gasses! He has a range of non-lethal to very lethal, and keeps whatever he needs to use at each caper. Better bring a gas mask!

COMBAT

Amaryllis majorly fights with a brutal combination of agility, strength, and force, and he’s even more lethal with these tools.

His senses are very heightened, though he’s half blind, he can sense your presence anywhere you go.

He’s also very quick and precise, it’s very difficult to get him off his feet.

Thinking of using his weapons against him? Bad idea. He’s immune to poisons and gasses. Unless you can find his acids, which are securely hidden in plain sight, and difficult to get.

THIEVING

Depending on his mood and the risks, he can choose to be stealthy, or to give himself a chase just for fun.

’Bait and Switch’ is his favorite move.

CCTVs may not be watching him…but he’s watching you.

If he does choose to give himself a chase, he’ll hide his face.

He likes to trick any opponent a lot.

On their competitive field trip to VILE Academy, Rae- later known as Deathbeat, met Blacksheep. She was the first person Rae had met there. During the trip before the competition started, Blacksheep took Rae on a tour of the academy. They got to know each other well and became friends. Eventually after the field trip, Rae ended up transferring to VILE from ACE- We all know what happens next.. these two start getting feelings 😉

Carmen Sandiego OC WEEK DAY 1 : Introduction June 7th

Introducing : Emira

‘A little project or a good asset’ is what they like to call her, but really just because they can transform her into whatever they want. Professor Mealstrom and Docter Bellum really like to stretch her into ‘her best self’ only to go from an energetic happy teenage girl- to a sleep-deprived, all nighter, overworking intern.

She isn’t stupid though, she likes no she loves science, physics, art and philosophy. Besides her talent can be a very good use to the Faculty,….right ?

But she’s still not happy with her life, she feels like the shadow of Docter Bellum, so for her nickname Sombra (shadow in Spanish)

But what choice does she have, leave the only life you’ve ever know ? or go to the outside world with no one behind your back ?

CSOW [Day / Entry I - Introduction]

Hey there! Do pardon the fact that this post is a bit delayed, I'm about to play one hell of a catch up game.

May I introduce.. Flame!

Flame, upon being stolen from one of VILE's criminal underworld rivals back when he was a cub, would be raised and trained alongside eleven other mutant animals of different species. Together, they formed a class of super thieves that'd been kept under wraps by VILE's higher-ups, only being rediscovered by sleuths following the criminal league's collapse.

There's more lore but that's all you're getting for now >:)

CSOC WEEK: DAY 2

Prompt: Mission

The Condottiero Armour Caper

By bigMilk_13

Only posted on Tumblr

~~~

VENICE, ITALY- 3:00am

Location: V.I.L.E Jet

Honestly, things could not be getting any worse.

Firstly, she was paired with Tigress of all people and Coach Brunt knows both of them hate eachother! But does that stop her? Nope!

And secondly, this is a solo mission. She could've easily done this. A quick in and out for fucks sake but again no because Coach Brunt made Tigress her teammate so this will probably take 10 minutes or even more if they encounter fucking Carmen Sandiego.

Basilisk couldn't decide what was worse: her teammate or the lady in red. Honestly, she hated both of them with a burning passion so to her- they're on an equal level.

While she was quietly listening to music on an MP3 in V.I.L.E's jet, she could see Tigress pacing back and forth, presumably mulling over the plan.

It was pretty simple. Get into the Doge Museum in Venice, steal a suit of armour and get out. Not that big of a deal, well to her at least- she's studied the picture of the armour for a second and she's remembered how it looks like so she doesn't get mixed up.

One of The Cleaners turned around and looked at her. Feeling his cold stare, she looked up, caught his eye and nodded, face expressionless and indifferent. She hid her earphones and MP3 in one of her snake suit's many pockets. There were over 40 hidden- some bigger, some smaller. All closed with a magnetic zip only she could unlock.

The snake suit was called that, mainly because it was built to be like snake scales, slippery and easy to move in and of course- escape.

She had her dart gun in her holster, armed with darts filled with a deadly poison, lipophilic alkaloid batrachotoxin- incredibly rare since it came from an endagered species: the golden poison dart frog. How Dr Bellum acquired it, Basilisk has no clue since the frog's natural habitat is rainforests- and in the ones surrounding the academy, there are definitely no known poisonous creatures.

The serpent retracted her fangs and talons just as soon as she left the helicopter, feeling venom fill her veins. It wasn't lethal, but it was certainly harmful- and Tigress may be dangerous with only her talons, but Basilisk was equipped and told to kill all her life. See how the Red Thief handles that.

She smirked to herself and quickly parkoured across buildings in the dark of the night to the roof of the museum, making sure to tell Tigress to take care of cameras by going to the security room, of which she wasn't happy about.

"Why do I have to do the boring work while you sneak in and do the fun stuff?" She grumbled angrily towards Basilisk through their com-links. The serpent slid down onto windowsill, picked at the lock and rolled her eyes.

"Because you sneaking in would cause too much alarm if anyone sees you. I'm the shadow of the academy, no one knows me by face- or by mask, really." She pointed out. The tech-mask she had worked both as a pair of glasses and night vision goggles, but also had a built-in fan and scanner, seeing to distinguish a fake from the real thing.

She could hear Tigress huff and go back to sneaking into the camera room, which she did surprisingly quickly and also managed to knock the security men out cold.

After getting the confirmation from Tigress that all cameras were down, Basilisk had around 10 minutes to complete her task, which was too much in her opinion but no matter. The more time, the better, she thought.

She dropped down from the window, landing in a low position in the middle of the Armoury. It was completely empty and dark, the shadows playing tricks on her mind. But in the middle stood a stand, encased in glass, obviously the star of the show. Now, thanks to the light from the moon coming in through the windows, brightening the walls of the hall, she could see posters and long banners, presenting the armour for what it is. A small gasp came from her mouth when she finally read the name.

"Brunt wants us to steal this? The armour that belonged to il Gattamelata?"

"Um... who the fuck is that?" Came over from the coms. Basilisk rolled her eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Erasmo Stefano da Narni. A famous italian mercenary from the 15th century. "

The line went quiet as Basilisk admired the suit of armour... but something was off. She could feel it.

"Wait, what's a mercenary?" a confused voice came over the coms and the Serpent mentally facepalmed. She quietly explained, while picking at the locks on the glass, opening it and stuffing the armour away into her bag.

"Mercenaries were basically soldiers working for foreign countries. Say, a Spaniard working in the British Army... or An Italian working for the Germans."

Basilisk closed the glass case and locked it. Luckily she had gloves on so no finger prints would be left at the scene. She quickly hopped out of the window she came in from and ran across the rooftops, stopping when she could see the sea- then contacted Tigress.

"I have the stuff, meet me at the end of the rooftops."

There was no answer and Basilisk raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Okay that was weird.

A grunt was heard over coms and she instantly knew that Carmen Sandiego had caught up to them and thought Tigress was doing a solo mission, like always.

Well, this time she was wrong.

"Kinda busy now, but if you could get your ass over here it would be appreciated." An out of breath Tigress shouted through to Basilisk.

"Where am I gonna put the armour then? I can't fucking take it." Basilisk was not going to let Tigress ruin the mission with her inability to not be a reprehensible shit goblin.

"Leave it then." She hissed

Basilisk groaned and took out her dart gun, running towards the Palace museum and finding the location of the security room. Then she stopped abruptly when she was just outside.

As much as she despised Carmen, she was the only worthy opponent they had. Killing her would make stealing... less fun and risky.

Basilisk rolled her eyes and holstered the dart gun. She retracted her talons and turned her tech-mask on.

She entered the museum through a corridor window and heard fighting coming from one of the exhibition halls. She ran towards the sound, stopping and taking in what was going on.

Sandiego was injured, quite severely. Blood seeped through her suit and her whole face was bruised. It looked like she had long scratch marks on her back.

Basilisk saw that, even though The Red Thief was battered badly, Tigress was even worse. She was lying on the ground, struggling to get up- probably because she had a broken ankle.

The serpent entered silently through the shadows, unnoticed by the two women in front of her. The venom pulsed in her veins but she decided that it's no use attacking and taking her opponent to V.I.L.E-

Who would cause an imminent threat to them anyways? Plus, she'd much rather be challenged and take victory fairly, then outmatch all her enemies. That was boring.

She walked in, moonlight seeping through the windows since it was definitely past midnight now. The reflections created a spotlight onto her. Underneath the tech-mask, Basilisk smirked as both women noticed her.

"Oooo, what a pleasure to meet the elusive Carmen Sandiego. Allow me to introduce myself..." She bowed mockingly, never taking her eyes of La Femme Rouge. "The name's Basilisk." She stood upright and she could see that Carmen was indeed unimpressed, and raised an eyebrow at her antics.

The serpent chuckled darkly.

"My apologies. That was weird, wasn't it?"

Her façade fell and she cracked her knuckles.

"Leave Tigress alone, and i'll give you the armour..." She held up the bag, "...or suffer the consequences of my venom."

Carmen tensed at the mention of some kind of venom. Who did this person think she was? But she accepted the offer with a nod.

Basilisk smirked and went to pick up Tigress by the arm roughly, to show that she was pretty pissed. In a split second, she saw Carmen try make a move and punch her in the face. She saw it coming but she let Carmen do so, and nearly break her knuckles on her rock hard mask.

Carmen withdrew her arm and cradled it with a pained expression. Basilisk turned to her.

"Well, that was unfortunate, wasn't it? As if it'll give you the armour now that you tried to attack me."

Carmen grimaced and shrugged.

"Worth a shot, though."

They laughed and put Tigress' arm around their shoulders, carrying her away but not without saying a final word to Carmen.

"Arrivederci, Miss Sandiego. Til we meet again, right?"

CARMEN SANDIEGO OC WEEK DAY 2: MISSION June 8th

"You or them, Ms. Sandiego. Your choice."

For today's prompt, Mission, I decided to showcase Python's intelligence on emotional manipulation. With a psychology degree under her belt, she is well-acquainted with how fear controls people. Tasked with capturing Carmen, she turns to the people Carmen is closest to first, roughs them up, and uses them as leverage.

This is actually part one of three of a mini-series showing how Python works! Today, Carmen is captured to prevent Julia and Ivy's captivity and torture. On day 6 and 7 you'll see the result of that happening!

CSOW DAY 2: MISSION

Uh oh! Looks like Deathbeat is a bit too angrily energized.

As seen in the last post, I mentioned that Deathbeat’s eyes and veins could glow if they are energized enough because of Bellum’s experiments. In this post, you all finally get to see it. Here they are, on their way to rip another ACME agent to shreds :D

CSOW day 7, La Femme Rouge

Ignore how late this is

-

Chipper glared up at Carmen as she blocked another one of their attacks.

When was Vile coming in with backup?! They said they were coming soon, but that didn't seem to be the case.

They threw their chisel, narrowly missing Carmen's cheek. She had dodged their attack again. Carmen could see the frustration boiling behind Chipper's mask as the chisel flew back into their grip.

Just then, Chipper felt their ear piece buzz to life, they recognized the familiar voice of one of The Cleaners.

"There has been some.. complications. You are on your own."

Chipper lost their focus, giving Carmen an opening to disarm them. They were thrown against the wall, arms pinned.

Their thoughts and emotions swirled, it felt like a rollercoaster. But one thing was constant.

Why?

Why now? What happened? Why would they leave him alone to fend for himself now? What kind of "complication" forced them to not help now?

They kicked at Carmen's stomach, escaping from her grip. They ripped their mask off, feeling suffocated.

"Stupid Vile.. Stupid.." Chipper muttered, gripping the now torn straps of their mask.

"If Vile is so stupid, why'd you join in the first place?" Carmen narrowed her eyes at Chipper from across the room.

"WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?" They instinctively reached into one of their pockets to throw something else at Carmen, but found their pockets empty.

They growled, chucking their mask at Carmen, it hit the wall behind her and fell to the floor, the intricate craft now cracked.

"Bills were piling up.. pickpocketing wasn't enough.. I did what I had to." They muttered. But even with the rage and frustration in their eyes, there was clearly a hint of doubt in them.

As they were about to lunge at Carmen again, their eyes fell to the cracked mask. They panted, eyes trained on it.

The change was almost instant, the rage in their eyes replaced with something akin to sadness, but not quite.

Carmen stared, anticipating their next move.

After a few tense moments of silence, they reached into one of their pockets and threw the artifact they had stolen towards Carmen, thankfully, she caught it right before it hit the ground.

Chipper stood there, just staring at the mask.

"I don't know of any other plans Vile has. But I heard some chatter about something in Venice." They said, voice flat.

-

WOAHHBHHHHH NO WAYYYYYY THEY BETRAYED VILE?!?!?!???

But yeah, this is an idea/concept ive got for how Chipper would leave vile! another major choice they make.

But is it really worth it? was it the right choice? Find out next time on-
