Basic synopsis: Alpha Kids are famous people. Fun, action, romance, and hilarious antics ensue. Also, will include humanstuck trolls later >w>
TVSTUCK
You are JANE CROCKER, host of the famous cooking show CROCKER IN THE KITCHEN. Speaking of which, you just finished a taping for CROCKER IN THE KITCHEN and are ready to run some errands. Your annoying roommate GAMZEE MAKARA always eats everything you buy in literally a few hours after purchase. You really would love to kick him out of your APARTMENT, but he's a friend of the family. It would be very rude to kick him out, and you would definitely get an earful from your DAD. He probably doesn't know about Gamzee's DRUG PROBLEM, which you've been trying to help him with FOREVER. He never listens to what you say.
Anyway, you are in dire need of FOOD. But not at the moment. You are not hungry after eating the quick, easy, and healthy meals you just finished creating during your show, with your TRUSTY SPOON and sponsoring from the CROCKER CORP. Thank goodness for them or you probably wouldn't have a job right now. You were never as lucky as your COLLEGE FRIENDS who have also successfully worked their way into the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. Speaking of which, one seems to be texting you right now.
Tell me what you guys think!! I have so many ideas for this... I can probably go many pages with it :3 I'll try to work in fan's ideas in as best as I can :3
This sounds a little silly, but you're in a SILLY MOOD. How do robots text anyway? Like one of your friends' auto-responding CELL PHONE? Usually you can find no difference between the AUTO-RESPONDER and your FRIEND, so you guess that robots sound a lot like humans. You give up on the idea of texting like a robot because of this similarity and decide to finally respond to your friend.

JC: But it's 12:30 in the afternoon!
RL: sssoooo
JC: So, you've obviously been drinking. It's way too early to go drinking, let alone partying.
RL: ura fun killerrf
JC: Ugh, I hate being the person to say this.
RL: wjhatt
JC: You have a problem, Roxy.
RL: lmao duzntj everyuojne
JC: No, I mean you have a drinking problem.
JC: My roommate has a problem like that, as well. Maybe you guys can go to rehab together or something.
RL: YOIU R A FUYN KILLWER MISS JANME
RL: sorury i bothrered u
RL: maaybe il; just go skleep weith jakerssss juist to getr bacjk aatt u
JC: What?! No!
JC: Roxy, calm down. I'm on my way over right now.
You're worried about ROXY, but you should get some food before going across town. What will you do now?
I'm digging that name: Crocker in the Kitchen. Simple, yet so effective.
Jane's rival in cooking crime should be Karkat, who has his own cooking show. He doesn't seem to enjoy it - in fact he always seems really angry about it. Later it's revealed that he was not even doing the show of his own free will, and there's a manipulator behind the man.
(I don't really know what that has to do with the story anymore, though. I just thought it would be funny if a majority of the characters had their own cooking shows even though Jane is the ONLY one associated with cooking (plus only the Alpha Kids are the famous ones)).
> Go to the local drug store to get a quick cheap victual. You may be a cooking show host, but you're no snob.
ADVENTURE UPDATE PROGRESS 5/18:
Equiquest: Very short update today.
Magnum Head: probablynextweek
I like this idea! I already have ideas for which occupations the Alpha kids have and a couple of the trolls, but I'll probably use this KK idea later on in the story :3
you forgot gamzee
I would never forget Gamzee! He will come up later, but if you want him to come up sooner, you can always suggest Jane to check on Gamzee or somethin. :3
> Go to the local drug store to get some quick, cheap victuals. You may be a cooking show host, but you're no snob.
Yes, of course! Cooking show hosts don't cook every meal they eat! We're on-the-go people, too! Anyway, you heard from some coworkers at the studio that the local drug store sells some tasty packed sandwiches, so you might as well pop by.
On your way to the drug store, a movie poster with a handsome stud catches your eye. Oh, it's one of your college friends. His new movie premiers in a few weeks. You and your friends have high hopes for its success, and you definitely will be one of the first people in line to see it. Action movies aren't really your cup of tea, but it's worth it to see your friend on the big screen. You wonder what he's doing at the moment. You haven't seen him in a few weeks except for on daytime talk shows to promote the movie. You picture him on set, all hot and sweaty in the sun with his shirt off.
Ugh! This is stupid! Stop thinking these silly thoughts of him! You know that even if you ever had the nerve to ask him out, it would never work out between you two. And how could you ever compete with the beautiful women of the film world? SIGH.
You need something to take your mind off of all this...
Sorry Lt Fish... when u posted a reply, i was already in the middle of making this post x3 Will try to get urs in next post :3
also, thanks for the replies everyone!!
> Turn on the Panasonic TC-P55VT50 and watch your own show.
This would get your mind off of the HANDSOME STUD, but you aren't near the studio anymore to watch the taping. And you don't even know if the studio has a Panasonic TC-P55VT50. You have never referred to televisions by names. If you had to, it might be a little hard to remember all the certain numbers and letters assigned to each particular model.
Wait. Why are you getting so into this? You have so much to do. Just go to the drug store already.
> Jake: Turn out to be madly in love with Jane.
You are now JAKE ENGLISH, handsome stud and star of the upcoming action movie BREAKTHROUGH. Something leads you to think of one of your COLLEGE FRIENDS, Jane Crocker.
What? Are those flushed feelings?
N-nonsense.
Quick! Think of something else!
What splendid background we have here! Might as well admire it while we have the chance.
> Admire it later... also you could of been allot smoother with the denial. Also get Roxy off of the floor, she might get a freaking cold like this. Oh and Jake... why are you holding you hands like that, can't you just let them stay calmly to your side?
> Admire the background later, and get Roxy off of the floor.
Aww but Roxy does such nice decorating. Oh well, might as well move her. When you arrived at her apartment after receiving her text, you found her asleep on the floor. You assume she was just tired and fell asleep while cuddling up next to her flask. People do get tired in the middle of the day. It's the perfect time to nap and recharge your energy for the rest of the day.
> Jake: Let hands stay calmly at your side.
I-I can't. They just float there. I don't know what would happen if they were to fly freely...
> UU: Turn out to be in the comic and have the ability to transport Jake to where Jane is so they can have a conversation about feelings.
UU? You can't be UU because you don't know who or what UU is. You can only hope it's not a dangerous alien set on your destruction, but rather a beautiful cerulean alien woman in need of guidance, from a handsome stud no less, around this big planet. Maybe this alien woman would like to try some delicious human food. This would be a perfect time for the alien to have transporting abilities so they can reach Jane and have her make some delicious baked goods.
Sigh. Why are there no beauties like that on Earth?
> Jake: Use the Harry Potter poster as a blanket for Roxy.
You assume that might not be the best idea, seeing as how posters are not the most plush items one can cuddle up with. And there's always a risk for multiple paper-cuts on each change of position. You don't see anything around that can be used as a blanket, so you throw the poster down gently on Roxy. Wow! Now she must be really comfy, especially while being in the arms of multiple good looking wizards and wizardesses. Good work, self.
> What's that on the wall where the poster used be?
You didn't notice it before, but there is something there.
It's a really small picture of a cat in a tuxedo. You always knew Roxy had a love of cat verging on crazy-cat-lady love, and you don't really know why she had this hidden here. You assume she had a good reason and leave it at that.
> Read the book on the floor.
Oh yes, you remember Roxy telling you about this. It's Roxy's cousin's first novel, COMPLACENCY OF THE LEARNED. It only came out late last year but it is already of high acclaim in the literary world. You flip through the pages in admiration and realized why you never came to reading it. The novel must be at least 2000 pages filled with vocabulary probably only reserved for... really, really smart people. Anyway, you can never find the time to read a good book and instead spend what little free time you have watching movies. Your love for movies is really what drove you to become an actor. And you're glad you get to share the fame with all of your costars and friends.
Speaking of friends, one is texting you right now.

JC: Hey, Jake.
JE: Hello jane! Nice to hear from you.
JC: Oh, well I remembered that you should be in the city by now, and I had a favor to ask you.
JE: Yes?
JC: I was wondering if you could stop by Roxy's place and check up on her.
JC: I'm a little worried.
JE: No need to fret. It's all taken care of.
JC: What do you mean?
JE: I'm already at roxy's place and i've made sure she's comfortable.
JC: You don't mean that in a weird way, do you?
JE: What?! Oh no! *blushes and loosens collar a bit*
JE: I really should have seen that sooner...
JE: Well i'm sorry this is so awkward now.
JC: No, no! It's fine!
JE: I mean that she texted me to come over so i did.
JE: And here i am!
JC: Yeah, I can tell.
JE: And the text wasn't anything weird.
JE: Just her saying there was a party going on.
JE: You know, the usual.
JC: She texted me the same thing.
JC: That's what I'm worried about!
JE: What? Mass texts about parties?
JC: No. The fact that she's drinking, and it's not even 1pm yet!
JE: Well, it's happy hour somewhere!
JE: *nervous laughter*
JE: All joking aside, I do understand your concern.
JE: We can express our ideas to her, but ultimately she is her own lifeguide.
JC: Yeah, I know. I just can't help worrying.
JC: I mean, I kind of feel like it's my fault that I can't help them.
JC: I see my roommate everyday with drugs, and even then I'm useless.
JE: You're not useless jane.
You really should have seen this coming.
Sorry for all the seriousness with the alcoholism... i'll try to make it go away from that but it keeps coming up!! Damn jane for being so caring x3
