Friendship Letters

(https://youtu.be/1UMNoaefIp4?si=lfcqkJ_Gkgaf5sA_) Inside a dim, dry, dungeon, far below the quiet little town of Appleoosa, a man hangs against the back wall of a stone cell. There is little light to illuminate the cell. Only the residual light from an oil lamp affixed to the wall outside of the cell. A cloud of ancient dust permeates the air, and the man's lungs. Every breath he takes feels like he's sucking in dust directly off of an old piece of furniture. Worse still is the strain of bei...

'Ah, shit. How long was I out? My everything is KILLING me. I can only see red in my right eye. Places on my body feel warm, wet, and kinda sticky. Must have taken a bad tumble. Wait. Is that a car? Shit! The race!' Ever since Nar fell from the railing a few minutes ago, the race seems to have come to a halt. Save for Steeltrap that is. When he realized that Nar would not be coming out of the trees he fell into, something inside him snapped. He roared his rage into the trees for some time befor...

The ride down the track only took a few minutes, but to Asuka, it felt like hours. After Steeltrap broke his bindings, and started going crazy, Ruby hopped into the back of the EMS SUV, and insisted they get back down the track. At first, the driver was confused, but when he noticed what was going on through the live feed inside the SUV, they took off. The scene has been playing in Asuka's head, ever since it happened. Nar hops up onto a railing. Steeltrap sprays acid ahead. The railing snaps...

With each second of this race that's gone by, Nar has slowly become more, and more comfortable in his place at the front of the pack. Ever since Ruby and Sapphire had their crash earlier it's seemed like everyone else was keen on being far less reckless in their racing. At first, Nar was pacing himself, saving his energy until the last stretch, where he could pull ahead by a mile, and win the race. However, with his nerves calming, and excitement rising, the habits of his casual skates around th...

//Content Warning for foul language. (https://youtu.be/kXOqyImTTOo?si=i9KvzPQGqiEJ4c4U) With the blaring of a buzzer, six figures rocket out of the garage of the old Helfire Coal Plant. The moment they clear the door, two of the figures, a pegasus, and a blue dragon, unfurl their wings, and take to the skies. Below, a pack quickly forms between the remaining four. Ryuji is in front, with Nar not far behind. Juno follows fairly close behind, and Steeltrap brings up the rear a fair distance...

//Much like the first challenge in this Battle of the Bands, I'm going to be posting this one in parts throughout the day/multiple days. Mostly highlighting the more notable parts of the challenge.

Third quarter, second half, 0:30 left. The score is 5-5. (https://youtu.be/u3vAm7fN4AM?si=I-QyiZknJ6aD72LQ) It's been a hard fought battle, and with only 30 seconds left in the match, the score is tied. Both teams are digging deep to find reserves of energy, and keep playing hard until the very end. The roaring of the crowd has gotten so loud, and feverish that they can be heard for many blocks away from the arena. No one expected the first challenge in this historic battle of the bands to be ...

//Last post for the day. I'll post the final post some time tomorrow. Second quarter, first half, 2:05 left. The score is 2-4. Juno silently curses himself after a failed attempt to block a shot leads to Dragonautica gaining a 2 point lead. Playing two on three, with their center, and defender out has been tough on the two remaining members of Attack on Mango. Juno has tried his best to fill in for Nar, but Ruby hasn't practiced any defense. She's just getting battered all over the rink w...

2nd quarter, 1st half, 4:15 left. The score is 1-2. Attack on Mango is down by one point. It's been a very hard fought battle so far, but they're still less than halfway through the game. Both teams are staring to show some signs of tiring, but are still playing their hardest. After a blocked shot from Ruby, Noxian passes the puck forward to a waiting Sapphire, who is headed down the left side of the rink. Her attention appears to be solely focused on the goal. Asuka notices this, and qui...

//I'll be posting the first match in the battle of the bands over the course of the day tomorrow. Most posts shouldn't be posted as stories, and will likely just be wall posts. Posts will mainly highlight big plays, or important events in the match. 05/27/24, 7 PM, Timberwolf Arena, Vanhoover The four members of Attack on Mango stand inside a pristine locker room. Each sports gear for playing hockey, and stylized uniforms. The uniforms are black with purple trim, and feature the band's log...
