Neutralised (1994) [3/?]: My Version of The Shared Universe
For those of you unfamiliar with 'Chicago Hope', it was actually set in a shared universe. Also, 'Suspiciously Similar' characters will be involved (Due to actors playing multiple roles). This is my take on that:

Original meme belongs to Hiram-Flavorsham
The movie 9, along with other toy-centric pieces of media, once inspired me to write a book called Dolly Dolly (title inspired by an online horror story) The plot was similar to 9 with a group of dolls (all female) traveling a mysterious dreamworld searching for their creator. This recast is as close as I’ll ever get to publishing that particular idea.
The cast is this…
Jessie (Toy Story) in the role of 9. Action Figure, the maker’s ultimate creation. Her design looks simple on the outside, but inside is a bunch of gears and hardware.
Maria (The Book of Life) in the role of 7. Puppet, perpetual bride. She hides tools and weapons in her wedding dress. Yes, she and Jessie are a couple.
Tinsel (The Steadfast Tin Soldier) in the role of 1. Porcelain Ballerina. Bossy big sister. Scared of her fragile body being broken and projects that fear onto the others.
Trudy (The Nutcracker Prince) in the role of 2. Ventriloquist Dummy, intellectual. Gives advice to all the others.
Mandy (Ugly Dolls) in the role of 5. Dress-up Doll. She’s unsure of her place in the group and looks to Trudy and Jessie for guidance.
Souseiseki and Suiseiseki (Rozen Maiden; another show that inspired me) in the roles of 3 and 4. Wind-up dolls. There was original supposed to be one, but they had so many spare parts that the maker made two of them. They gather information and tend to the dream gardens.
Raggedy Ann (The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy) in the role of 6. Rag Doll. Rush job. To make up for her crude design, the maker gave Ann a pure soul gifted with clairvoyance. The things she says don’t make sense right away. But when the time is right, you get what she’s trying to tell you.
Piper (Robots) in the role of 8. Robot. Built to be the brains of the group but identifies as the brawn. She’s a bit angry that she isn’t as human-looking as the others, but she’ll still defend them with her life.
Nora Wakeman (My Life as a Teenage Robot) in the role of the Scientist. She’s the creator, the doll-maker. She created the nine as prototypes, and came to love them as her children. She sacrificed herself in giving Jessie her soul.
The Machines: Nora’s colleges in the military created them with intellect. But they have no souls. And believe me they want them. After killing their creators, they theorize that by killing the Wakeman Collection, they can download their souls.
Auto (WALL-E) as the Fabrication Machine
Hilda Berg (Cuphead) as the flyer
The Other Mother (Coraline) as the seamstress

Personal thoughts on Bachelorette Party, Ch. 4
Note: As the title says, these are just personal opinions on Choices books and chapters. Of course, you may agree or disagree with them, I only use this platform to express my thoughts on what I read every week and what I’d like to see in the next chapters, because none of my friends play Choices so I have no one to comment the books with.
I’ve said it before, and I’m saying something quite similar now: PB didn’t create this book to be only a “bachelorette party”. I’m more and more convinced that the bachelorette party is just an excuse to get into some deeper stuff. And we could see a glimpse of it in this chapter… but I don’t know how I feel about it.
I mean… there’s no doubt that our MC doesn’t want Diana to get married (and I think we all agree with her). Also, it’s pretty obvious that she would like to see Courtney having a more “real” relationship (maybe Mario Bautista is “the one” for her? At least he said he wanted to see her again). And of course, she’d prefer to see that Aisha has some “safer” life instead of living under constant risk. AND IT’S FINE, she worries about her friends. But at the same time I feel conflicted because it seems we haven’t seen our friends in a long time (years maybe?), that we haven’t been in touch for a while and that we haven’t been as close as we used to be in college (even though the friendship seems to be intact). So I don’t really know if it’s my MC’s mission to make her friends figure out if they feel they’re doing the right thing with their lives yet… I mean, I wouldn’t mind having a little more of background on their stories over the years (especially for Courtney and Diana) before giving them some advice!
On the other hand… can we just talk about how sweet the male LIs are? I can’t help it… it’s like the sweetest thing I’ve seen so far. I love how Ash and Reed are worried about how our MC feels, how they both ask her about it and how they both listen to her. I don’t want to think that they just ask her because they want to romance her, it would seriously break my heart to realize that’s the only reason why they ask. I want to think that they do it because they care. And it’s cute, it’s a nice detail, especially because they do it so respectfully that it just feels right to give them a sincere answer. And that’s a point where our girls haven’t fulfilled my expectations yet. I love them, but the fact that they were happy about our MC breaking up with her ex and didn’t say a word about how much they hated him/her during the relationship (this is a very girly thing, tbh!) makes me feel like they won’t ask our MC how she’s feeling any time soon.
What can we expect to happen in future chapters? Honestly, the last two chapters have felt like fillers to me. Nice chapters, well written, fun to read… but fillers. Nothing special has happened, we haven’t seen the kind of stuff that makes a great impact on the plot yet. So I’m pretty sure that we’ll start facing some real drama in future chapters. We already know that Diana’s fiancé will be travelling to Vegas after a video of the girls chasing Frank went viral (there’s no way that this relationship will end up in a marriage, but I don’t think they’ll break up yet)… and I’m soooo ready to defend my girl! She’ll leave Vegas over my dead body! Also, we know that Ash has some lead on the case, so they’ll probably develop that plot, too… and I feel things will go shady… or at least shadier than they’ve been so far.
However, I’m still curious about some stuff. Aisha lost the case… Courtney, Diana and the MC are Aisha’s friends… Frank is the guy who stole the case… Ash is helping us to find the case. As we may notice, every important character we’ve seen in this book seems to be connected to the case, except two of them: Skip and Reed. As I said some chapters ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if Skip is related to the case in a shady way (let’s remember he’s a politician… maybe he’s receiving some illegal funding for his campaign?). But have you noticed how, after four chapters, Reed seems to be the only one that doesn’t have any type of connection with the rest of the characters in this story? It’s like he has his own plot that consists on taking our MC on dates or meeting her at the bar… that’s beyond weird! Actually, depending on your choices, he may or may not know about the existence of the case. Maybe he’s not a doctor as he claims to be? Maybe I’m just being paranoid and he’ll end up helping us in future chapters? I want to think he’s kind of a piece that’s missing in this puzzle and that he’ll end up being involved on this as well, but I have no idea how he’ll be a part of it.
