Containment What If?

What do you mean what if? The way Barb's been fighting with the insurance company coupled with the way the Chandlers handle funds means that homelessness is a very real possibility for Charb.

What if Chris gets kicked out of the rental house? Like, what if he and Blarb were out on the street with no where to live? They wouldn't be able to go back to 14BC, that shit is getting condemned for sure. I don't know of any immediate relatives that would be able or even want to take them in.

Here's what I predict if this happens:

Chris and Barb are given an ultimatum by the insurance people: they have to start paying their own rent in whatever location they're living in because the house is too far gone and is condemned. Thinking that this is bullshit, Charb refuses to pay and expects the insurance people to keep paying the rent until the house is fixed because they believe it can be saved and the insurance people aren't trying hard enough. Chris tries to milk Keurig for money by threatening a lawsuit again. They finally get kicked out of the rental house for non-payment and they try getting a place elsewhere. They might be successful in getting a trailer somewhere or moving in with someone they find on Craigslist, but ultimately they'll probably end up staying one of those "pay by the week" roach motels that dot the landscape throughout the United States. There's an equal chance that they'll try to sneak back into 14BC, but I think that'll be a relatively last resort because it presumably has no utilities on except for the water, which will be the most important thing because they'll need it to flush the toilets. Power might be turned on, but that will depend on what type of work the insurance cleaners/repairmen are doing. If all utilities are on, it's more likely that Charb will try to return home.

However I don't think it'd be long before Charb's return home is discovered, as the neighbors will likely see the activity and report them. There is the possibility of weens trying to report them, but that'd require someone coming on here to tell everyone that Charb went back to 14BC- and that's something I don't see us getting told until far, far later in time or unless a non-local or non-inner circle person discovers it and leaks it on here. Living in a condemned house is bad for Charb (especially if it has no power or water), but being homeless-homeless is even worse.

What if Chris owned a hot dog shack?


the hot dogs would taste like shit.

Sanic and Pokeymans has really influenced his life. Without them, there wouldn't be the recolor, the medallion of said recolor, nor the Watch And Win Sweepstakes, etc. How do you think he would be if Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima had never created that hedgehog, and Satoshi Tajiri didn't bother creating the other franchise?

I've often wondered that myself, though there's no need to go even that far. What if Chris just hadn't found Sonic at all, either because he was born a decade or so too early (or too late), or because his parents never let him play video games, or because he got a Nintendo or Playstation or Turbografx-16 instead of a Sega. There are hundreds of variables that could have resulted in lil' Chrissun never learning about the existence of Sonic.

Granted, Sonic is a pretty big part of his life (and what "inspired" his creativity; IIRC Bionic was his first "original" creation) but I agree with you he would have simply found something else to latch onto. In fact, he kind of did already. He has varying degrees of fixation on several things... The American Rabbit, Pokemon, Family Guy, Legos, Ghost Busters, Excel Saga, Samurai Pizza Cats, Goosebumps, MLP, etc. He's just not especially consistent with them, and none of them seem to approach the importance of Sonic in his life, let alone his identity (though early Chris did make handmade, TRUE and HONEST MLP, Yuh-Gi-Oh and Pokemon iterations of himself and several people in his life, so who knows...).

Two thoughts do occur to me though:

First, would it have changed how he'd turned out? I mean, Chris is lazy, but would an obsession with say Harry Potter have made him read more? Or at least attempt to? Would it have gotten him interested in "magick" and Wicca and new age type stuff? Or how about if Chris latched onto Star Trek? Would he have interacted more with the Trekkie community? Gone to sci-fi conventions? Would he have written bad fan fiction (as if there's any other kind)? Or would he just get all competitive and claim that Star Wars or the Matrix or some other franchise was stealing Star Trek's glory? It's interesting to speculate...

The other thought is that Chris has an odd tendency to either pick up on things that aren't particularly popular or well known (Excel Saga, Samurai Pizza Cats, The American Rabbit, his Ghost Busters cartoon). Admittedly, that probably comes from Barb shopping at Good Will and bargain bins but still, what would have happened if Chris sperged out over something so obscure that nobody else would know what he was talking about? It wouldn't be any more original than his recoloured Sonic, but there's a good chance it wouldn't have garnered as much attention either. People might even mistake it for original, unless they took the time to Google it...
 
Oh I got a really good one. What if Hanna had answered Chris's prank question with "What? No! Why would I prank such a sweet guy?" or something along those lines. Then Chris would go along with it. How would the prank have ended?

The same, just later that afternoon.

Pretty much. I imagine that one of the gal-pals would have confronted Hanna in front of Chris and/or tried to find out what the prank was and keep it from happening. Well, assuming that it wouldn't have been that much work for them. I figure that the prank would have been something relatively harmless, like she gets him to buy new clothes and wait somewhere for her, only for her not to come or for her to walk by with another guy and kiss him. In the end Chris would have been hurt and we might have heard him bitch a little more, but the end result would have been the same.

It'd get closed down for health reasons. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. His best bet would be if he were to have a food truck, as that help him evade detection longer. If he'd had it during his earlier years, I can see him using it as a way to further the Love Quest and getting kicked out of PVCC anyway because he didn't ask for permission to sell his wieners on campus.

Plus he might have freaked out the first time a gay guy came up and made a joke about loving to put wieners in his mouth.
 
What if the apocalypse happened and Chris's stuff was buried and forgotten until 50-100 later when someone digging through the ruins found the Sonichu comics and the Relics of Fail? And what if the guy who found them started a cult dedicated to worshipping Chris and Sonichu?
"Father's holy texts are here to guide us to the heavenly city of CWCville! Sonichu zap to the extreme and deliver us from the PVCC and the homos and the trolls, praise be upon Father! Zap to the extreme!"
