New RP series! Based on Emilia’s escape from hydra and all that good stuff
On October 12 11:24pm, the team raided one of the last remaining official hydra bases. The mission was mostly successful. No casualties or major injuries were reported from the team. But the same can't be said for who they found. A teenage girl. Half dead. Found in a lab. Reports and theories and tools scattered all over the floor, as if they'd given up on keeping the experiments tidy. She was barely even a soldier anymore. Just a lab rat.
The lab was likely abandoned when the team breached and the building was told to evacuate, leaving the girl strapped to the chair. She was practically dead anyway, there was no point bringing her with them. The notes on the desk next to the chair reads
"name: Emilia Kane.
age: 16
alias: subject 87 (former), little bird (current)"
As soon as she hears the doors open and people walk in she immediately assumes they're back for more tests. She's too weak to scurry away but she tries, more just squirming in the lab chair. "No... please...no more I can't do anymore...leave me alone please" she mumbles weakly, her eyes barely open.
How open are you to the possibility of time travel?
A phm time travel blurb that I may or may not continue. Thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted to see :3
"Dimitri?"
Dimitri stepped fully into the room. In front of him were half a dozen whiteboards with sprawling calculations in Dr. Grace's neat handwriting. He recognized some of them in relation to time dilation, but focused instead on the man at the center of the chaos.
Dr. Grace looked weary; all of his usual jitters were still there, but he appeared just that much more exhausted. The marker in his hand kept writing. He was balancing an equation, one that stretched half the board.
"Grace," Dimitri offered him a smile, "are you feeling well?"
From what Dimitri knew of Dr. Grace, he was perpetually awkward while nervous and confident in turns. He's heard the man laugh before, Dimitri has made the man laugh before. This laugh was different. It sounded as tired as he looked, with a hint of mania and fear that scared Dimitri more than he was willing to admit.
"I've certianly been better."
Something happened. Dr. Grace is running calculations and stressed out of his mind.
"Is is something with the Astrophage?"
"Oh I wish this was Astrophage, Dimitri," he caped his marker and stepped back, taking in the boards as a whole. "At least then I'd have some idea of what the heck happened."
He hesitated. This is something Stratt should be made aware of. Even if there was nothing actually wrong with Project Hail Mary, Dr. Grace was too integral to the team to be suffering a psychotic break right now. But why go to Stratt with partial information and no solution?
Dimitri knew enough about the math on the boards to begin checking his colleague's work, but there was obviously something missing. "Walk me though it."
Dr. Grace looked at him for a long moment, deciding something. With a glance back to the boards, he asked, "How open are you to the possibility of time travel?"
Now Serving:
semi-possessed and transmogrified human Oliver is about to
warp reality The Strings of Fate have taken a backseat entirely for OOC yapping about Mermay </3 We'll be right back!
- This is a Prototype RP blog, mostly set in the timeline of the game although I'm open to earlier interactions set before/shortly after the Hour of Joy. I may sometimes roleplay as other characters sneaking onto The Prototype's blog.
- Art and fanfiction might also show up sometimes! As well as my maaaany ramblings about our favourite jester's lore.
- My version of The Prototype is late twenties; from his behaviour in Chapter 5 I interpret that Ollie continued to mature (plus it's a more fun psyche for me to unpick this way - and in all honesty I just love the idea of him being giant evil parent for the toys). However, please don't be blatantly NSFW about him. Flirty asks are okay for Prototype only - not for any other characters that might pop up, please. Mun is 20+.
- I use text formatting to represent The Prototype's shifting voice! Imagine this as you want to for most of them - the only ones that have meanings are that red or bold & italics signifies the angry/demonic voice and orange is his Ollie voice.
- I treat all interactions as if they're in their own separate pocket universes: for example if my Oliver already has an established dynamic with a particular Catnap blog, that doesn't mean that yours can't interact with him. Nothing is exclusive. This also applies to the running bit a few of the Prototype blogs have going on that they all exist in the same factory, this isn't meant to close any doors off to anyone - I like to keep that non-canon for more serious interactions 🩶 The Protoverse is always open to expansion! Currently this version of the Prototype sometimes goes by Two/Lucifer (Luci to a very select few) when interacting with the others, for differentiation purposes.
- I'll link to a lore post when I have more headcanons for him, but! So far my main ones are that Ollie is genderqueer (he is unaware of terminology); Irish-American and fluent in Gaeilge; has two small ducklings named Freddie and Brian (after Queen) and is absolutely wracked with chronic pain. Do not threaten the ducks in any way, shape or form.
- We know The Prototype, he's a harsh, often sadistic character. However, he will respond more "kindly" (in the only way that he knows) towards orphan or toy characters. Catnap is the little brother he will never admit to loving. (I usually have him be just a little bit more receptive to affection from anons as I want people to enjoy this! Character blogs will have to work for it a smidge more but it's possible)
- This is a queer, POC & neurodivergent-friendly space (mun is all three). The Prototype may be a murderer but he will respect his victims' pronouns
- This is a sideblog, I unfortunately cannot like posts or follow anyone back from this blog :/
- I'm ehhh about interacting with self-insert OCs or yumeshippers - I'm not entirely opposed, but please talk to me about it first.
- I answer asks faster than threads! If we have a thread and it's been a while, feel free to ping me back in as I am very ADHD and it may have slipped my mind.
- On that note, tungle.hell has a tendency to eat asks & notifications - if you've sent an ask in and it hasn't been replied to in 3+ days without me noting I'll be absent on the blog, or you tagged me in a post I never responded to, please feel free to resend it or shoot me a dm! I don't bite, I promise!
- Have fun! Interacts are welcome! :)
Do's: ✅
Roleplay and asks (from both RP and non-RP blogs). Interactions from any OCs and canon characters are encouraged, from other fandoms/fandomless as well as PPT
Show me your OCs!
Fanart is absolutely welcome, I will cry
DMs for roleplay ideas (or just to yap about PPT characters. please. I am starved for people to infodump to about this game and absolutely love talking with anyone about it)
Tagging into interactions or AUs (please ask first)
Angst. Please.
Gentler interacts between Prototype & orphans/Catnap.
Reasonably flirty asks (only for The Prototype). These will be tagged as "flirtatious" if anyone wants to filter them out. I’m still adamant canonical Prototype is a kid, the blog AU is solely for my own amusement because bitchy older Oliver is fun to write, and I do noooot want to make people uncomfortable with this, so nothing too much. HOWEVER. You can absolutely
Shipping is a massive maybe - at the very least, only if we've talked about it thoroughly? If it does happen, I like to keep all romantic ships in their own separate universe from each other - see the point about not closing off doors to people.
Magic!Anons are allowed for an initial maximum of 20 posts (can be added onto/subtracted after that). I have gone crazy with human!Prototype magic anons in the past and will absolutely do so again.
Call him Oliver. He'll hate it.
Don'ts: ❌
Anything explicitly sexual - NSFW for the bit yes, anything more serious no. Please. Or I will throw things.
Please don't attack The Prototype's design on this blog, I know some people dislike it but I won't be responding to any design or character-bashing asks. That's my blorbo, be nice.
Harrassment of mun or character (goes without saying perhaps)
Anything gen AI. This is not a slop safe space.
Intense gore or violence
Adding on to this: absolutely no major character death in RP. You are allowed to injure Ollie but only after asking first, please
I’m tentative on topics such as SH, suicide, etc - please don’t bring them up randomly in reblog chains/asks. I’m somewhat okay with approaching them in RP but as long as I’ve been asked first and it’s brief/not just there for shock factor.
Abuse or bigotry of any kind: racism, homo/transphobia, ableism, misogyny, nazism, pedophilia etc will not be tolerated. MAGA/Reform supporters & TERFs DNI.
Ain't interacting with Harry Potter OCs, sorry, not sorry. We don't platform bigots here.

5 more hours at my desk, 5 more hours of staring at my several, MASSIVE, complexes of monitors will fix me. Absolutely. This will fix everything that is wrong with me.
Which is nothing, by the way. I'm practically a saint compared to over half of the residents in this belly of the beast we call an "thriving city".
