Characters Watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

To Steal of Not to Steal

In a flash of light Sera appears in front of the screen.

"I just wanted to give a quick explanation of this, it came out as an interactive special. Basically the viewer could make choices, you'll see in it Carmen gives the options. The viewer would pick one and progress the story. Some choices would lead to bad things happening, some choices didn't even matter because it either didn't come into play later or because you were forced into a certain situation anyways. To save time and probably fighting you guys will not be making the choices. You will view this the way I did in my first viewing of it. Enjoy." Without taking any questions Sera vanishes.

(A/N This is legit how my first run through of the episode went.)

With that everyone settles in to watch what happens.

Player: The Shanghai skyline sports several of the worlds tallest skyscrapers, including one of VILE's most notorious strongholds. Security Camera's disabled, and... good to go Red. The top floor is where you'll find the vault.

"So we're in China." Carmen says.

Carmen: And whatever fresh VILE loot happens to be in that vault. Zack, Ivy you in position?

Ivy: We got the perimeter covered Carm.

Zack: Just uh, be careful up there.

Carmen: Always, why would tonight be any different?

Zack: We're in Shanghai, wouldn't want you getting shanghaied in Shanghai right?

Ivy: Or anywhere.

Carmen laughs.

"I love you guys to."

Carmen: I love you to ground crew. Just keep the engine running and ready to punch it. The building is sure to be buzzing with security, what's the cleanest route to the vault?

Player: You can infiltrate from the top floor or from the ground floor.

Carmen: Entering from the top floor is sure to require some high wire stunts, but sneaking up from the ground floor risks facing opposition.

"Looks like this is the first choice viewers have to make." Gray says.

"I say top floor, you have done far more dangerous stunts and are less likely to be viewed from that high up." Jules says.

*Carmen infiltrates the building from the top floor.

"Looks like Sera shares your opinion." Player says.

Carmen: I'll just zip on over. The janitor closet.

Player: You asked for the cleanest route.

"Too many puns." Chase groans.

Carmen: Just point the way to VILE's vault so I can mop up. Vault located. Too easy.

"My turn to say it, this can't be good." Zack says.

Maelstrom: Welcome Carmen Sandiego. Please do come in.

Carmen: Well, well, all my former instructors from crime school.

"Minus one crazy samurai." Ivy says not bothering to lower her voice. In an effort to do as Carmen asked Shadowsan does not set her on fire with just the power of his glare.

Maelstrom: You are no doubt the finest thief to have ever walked the halls of VILE academy.

Cleo: Yet we never reaped the benefits of having taught you every thieving skill that you know.
