Well, he liked learning how you say gimme five to a rug. He tried it himself with the rug in the dining room.  The cat just gave him a weird look. |

Because Carpet likes to hang out with his buddy, the genie, of course!  |

My brother asked why the hell did Carpet go with them, if all they ever do is just get on his back. I just said maybe cause he was lonely in the cave. He was saying, 'but still...'. All going on how they abuse him and everything.  Well, maybe they do... |

Yeah I think I know what you mean.
I've pretty much given up on roleplaying for a number of reasons, including the do's and don't's of character control. RPGs are for some people, but not for everyone. Same with anything else.

Maybe the moderator was having the same problem I was having, so put Carpet and Aladdin with Abu. That poses a problem, though, if Jasmine or any other characters want to use Carpet.

When I ran a RPG, I had the characters listed separate, but don't remember if I got any takers. I think for the most part, nobody ever played them.

Somehow, I just don't feel much brainpower coming off of Abu, so I don't really consider him as much of a POV option.
He's good for filching keys and stuff, but... well, his lack of brainpower and thought processes make him uninteresting for me. |

I know what you mean. I love Abu, but sometimes forget to mention him in my fanfics just because I don't always know what to do. I need to have him save the day sometime, or something.

Like doing it with the point of view of a dog. I mean that in a good way. |

| Underappreciated and definitely underpaid. Carpet can do with his front edge what most people need a spinal column to accomplish. And, like you said, without him Aladdin wouldn't be alive today. Somebody owes that carpet a lot. |
