It's the 100th season of Spongebob Squarepants, and all your favorite characters have gathered at the Krusty Krab to celebrate - but Sandy's special firecrackers had an unexpected effect, and now everybody's been turned into perfectly identical anchovies, and some malicious individual is taking advantage of the situation, framing people for crimes and getting them arrested! How will the show continue, if the whole cast it locked up in jail? What nefarious purpose could drive someone to do something like this? Will the unique personalities of the Bikini Bottomites shine through, or will they fade into anonymity? Will whatever drek this season provides still outperform Camp Krusty? Tune in two weeks from now to find out!
This game will be formatted normally, with a 48-hour day/48-hour night cycle, which will be presented as "episode part 1" and "part 2" respectively. You vote during the day, you (usually) use powers during the night...you've all played these games well enough to know the drill, but if there's any fresh faces joining our Voice Actors this season, I'll be sure to go over the rules.
The weirdness, at least from the perspective of those of you experienced enough to realize it's weird, is that none of the roles have their powers or alignments declared here in the recruitment thread. Alignment and power(s) will be revealed when you are "arrested" (lynched/nightkilled), but who you're looking for will be unclear at first. A lot of the power roles in play are also rather...odd, and a lot of them are more designed in such a way that it will be interesting for me to watch them get played out.
Each role in the spoiler below has a short bit of fluff text that will gesture in the direction of their powers, but don't assume you have a full understanding of their capabilities from that fluff summary.
Spoiler: Roles
Show
Atomic Flounder
You just wanted to live a nice, quiet retirement, but noooooo you got dragged into this mess. Why I never... *scoffs*
Barnacle Boy
That's "Barnacle Man"! One half of the dynamic duo that once protected Bikini Bottom from a full rogue's gallery of dastardly supervillains!
Bubble Buddy
Few people truly understand the zen that Bubble Buddy lives by. Most people see him and assume he's just a bubble floating there, but the inner workings of his mind are dazzling to behold for those that peer deeper beneath his shiny surface.
Dirty Bubble
This one, on the other hand, is exactly what he appears to be: filthy criminal scum that delights in trashing everything he comes into contact with!
Flats The Flounder
Don't get on his bad side...or he'll kick your butt!
Flying Dutchman
You're owed a soul, and by Neptune's Beard you're gonna collect it!
Fred
My leg!
Gary the Snail
Hey, where's Gary? Wait, wrong show...and wrong network, for that matter. Anyway, Gary is Spongebob's beloved pet snail, and is quite clever despite that.
Karen Plankton
You'll support your husband even when he's doing something stupid, and you've got enough brains to know what's going on better than just about anybody else here.
Larry The Lobster
Your gains may have been undone temporarily, but the grind never stops!
Man Ray
Once, long ago, you were reformed through tickle torture. But since then you've reverted to villainy now and then. Which side will you be on this time?
Mermaid Man
One half of the dynamic duo that once protected Bikini Bottom from a full rogue's gallery of dastardly supervillains!
Mr. Krabs
Do you smell that? Because I smell that. That's the smell of opportunity.
Mrs. Puff
For the others, this might be a catastrophe, but for this veteran boating instructor, this anonymity combined with her expertise evading the cops should be plenty to keep her safe through the season.
Old Man Walker
Wait, how do you get in this list, this is for important characters! How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!
Patrick Star
At this point in the series, your particular brand of stupidity is...shall we say, easily recognizable.
Pearl Krabs
You may be a common anchovie, but that doesn't mean you won't find a way to stand out from the crowd (at least once you've gotten some better clothes, what even is this you're wearing now?!).
Princess Mindy
You're still not queen of the ocean, but you're possessed with an undeniable authority.
Sandy Cheeks
Okay yeah, transmogrifying fireworks underwater was probably a bad idea, but you can fix this! You just to recalibrate the whatchamajigger and you'll have this thing fixed in...one season, tops!
Scooter
Fish, anchovie...it's all whatever, brah. Just enjoy life, y'know?
Sheldon Plankton
It seems the tables have turned in your favor! Your biggest weakness has been fixed, and now your treachery is unbounded!
Spongebob Squarepants
The titular character, and by far the fan favorite. Nobody wants to see you fail, except maybe Squidward, so rest assured that everything will probably work out!
Squidward Tentacles
You're not as successful as Squilliam, but that's only because life has it out for you; you could be great if you tried. Everybody's an idiot except for you.
Squilliam Fancyson III
Ugh, how bothersome this whole process is! You're above all of this nonsense, and you know it! Not to worry, though: anchovie or no, the truly gifted always find a way to shine!
The One True Anchovie
Meep.
Arrr ya ready, kids?
