HRRGH I know this prompt is for Blonde, but only because there's soooo much Orange/White everywhar and I think his cool psycho shtick could be put to use in an AU like this but OMG FREDDY WOULD TOTALLY BE A FORGER AND LARRY WOULD BE AN EXTRACTOR and halp, my braaain.

Because I was leaning more toward an ERRBODY IS IN THE MIND-CRIME BIZ, like Holdaway is the chemist and and and Pink is an architect (FUKKEN PROFESSIONAL) and Blue and Joe are rival team builders/have been in the business since its inception (dohoho see what i did there) and.

I MEAN, NO, BUT

What if it was like Freddy still works for the cops (or, more realistically, was picked up by some government for field testing of this strange new technology as it rears its scary head more and more in higher-end theft cases) and either, I dunno, he's sent to infiltrate a job/team and it goes from there; OR he's specifically sent into the mind of a prisoner who had volunteered his knowledge of the field for a reduced prison sentence (and, as Larry tells Freddy in the Dreamscape, because three days under for four hours' actual rest was a nice vacation no matter which way you sliced it).

And I'm sorry for the run-on sentences and the spazzing. Ideas like to take me by the shirtfront and rattle me around until I've written them down.

Freddy's totem is his ring. Calling it.
