Boring Paradise 2-2 Chromatika
Chromatika: Victoriane '27, Gail '84
Starting Lineup: Justus; Morningstar - Stef - Damjana; Kelly (C) - Hellion - Mora - Dragana; Victoriane - Mehdizade - Xe. Subs: Sybill -> Mora '51, Gail -> Mehdizade '68, Ellen -> Damjana '81
Summary: After the devastating news of Mia Ria's injury, the Chromatik team understandably looked shaken in the first thirty minutes, as the usually reliable defense looked full of dead weight in allowing two goals early. Justus, making his first international start, did settle down, and Chromatika settled down to the same possession-based style it used in the game against Buyan. Kaytlyn Victoriane showed her class in the Chromatik goal of the half, hitting a shot from thirty yards on a wicked angle to beat the keeper. Then, Parker did what he often does, using substitutes to dictate the match, and this time, he wasn't messing around. He brought in Sandra Sybill, Miranda Gail, and Zlastica Ellen as subs, and the Chromatik pace picked up to where Gail was able to literally run by two defenders for the tying goal. A last chance effort by Xi Xe was taken by the Boring Paradise keeper as time expired, and Chromatika escaped one of the hardest games it has ever played from an emotional standpoint with a point.
The players all wore tributes to Mia Ria, a "#12" patch sewed over the left chest of their shirts. There has been no other developments on Ria's condition - she has been in a coma for the last three days.
Matchday 3: Chromatika vs. Bostopia @ The Capitalizt Dome
Projected Starting Lineup: Joy; McBee - Will - Ilya; Etienne - Mora - Kuzami - Han; Drea - Vidal - Chesser (C).
Is it really smart to put the entire deep reserves in to the Starting XI? Parker seems to think so, as he fields a lineup that is comprised of over a third of its players making their international debut. Sherlyn Joy's turn to be the netminder will be covered by the untested trio of Zheide, Kattie, and Valence; Etienne brings a bit of stability, and the other trio of Mora, Kuzami, and Han have had limited experience, while Willard Drea and Olimpia Vidal make their debuts, all Captained by Alexandria Chesser. Bostopia isn't a side to take lightly, and they'll be looking to use the emotionally tense atmosphere to force an upset. Hopefully, Chromatika's class has led to their bench being of good caliber, and the team will be able to grab their second win.
Prediction: Chromatika plays with a vengeance, and even if the starters can't do the job, Parker's willingness to not spare anyone off the bench should do the work. Chromatika 3-0 Bostopia.
"Before it's all said and done, K, things are going to get hella weird. I feel it in my bones. This Revolution - what we've done? Just the tip of the iceberg. The real work is yet to come, and I for one want to know how the Party took over Chromatika and got everyone to follow that damned system. There has to be a source, a time before the Chromatik Party. What was the land like then? Why did it fall to where it is now? Until we know those answers and know to prevent it from ever happening again, I won't feel like it's ended."
Those were the words of my fiancee, Luuk Aart, the night when the Party had been overthrown and the Revolution had succeeded. I still remember them to this day, and they were the first thing I thought of when I awoke after that initial day in Eyrods. Yep, everything you've read to this point is correct. The mysterious column of air? True. Turning into a whirlwind? True. Taking us to this room where we should've died while falling, but didn't, and then ended up not being able to hear anything except whenever the floor opened to bring forth food, water, bedding, and bathrooms? True. And most of all, that voice that echoed in everyone's minds, welcoming us, bidding us to rest, and somehow behind all this? Yes, even that is true.
You see, I'm a journalist. I work with Jordan. He handles the sports, I handle real world events. All this was making my head hurt. These things shouldn't be possible, but they were. We couldn't be where we were, but we were. And damn it all, the mysterious being behind all this had taken all our belongings, and I couldn't write this down on paper. My memory hasn't been great, but I know how to shorthand very well! That was pissing me off.
As I awoke, I saw the fourteen others around me had also risen, and it looked like we had all waken up at the exact same time. Crazy, I know. There was... Sunlight streaming into the room, except that wasn't possible, was it? Well, now that I thought of it, I hadn't seen a ceiling to the room the night before, and we had fallen a long ways. It had just been so dark...
I looked up, and saw the blue skies, small clouds, and the sun, shining down as if...
Where the hell were the walls?
No, we had definitely been in a circular room the night before! But now, there were none. Instead, there was grass where we had lain, as if it had always been there, and I recognized where we were. Exactly where we had been before the mysterious column of air, except nothing seemed like it had been disturbed.
A sound startled me - it was the wind blowing! The room had been soundproof, but where we were now sure wasn't! I opened my mouth, and said with some difficulty, "What the hell?"
Everyone else seemed to have caught on to what had transpired, and we all started chattering to ourselves, wondering what the hell had happened. Was it all a dream?
That conversation died quickly as we all heard a voice, physical this time, reverberate through the clearing:
"You are safe now. Go, explore, and find me. At sundown, my servants will pick you up again and gather you into the safe house, where you will be protected to rest until the morrow. Go, while there is still light."
"Who are you?" shouted Didi, "And what do you want with us?"
There was no response.
"All right," stated Lani, "What happened to us? Sergeant, do you know anything at all?"
We all turned around to look at the Staff Sergeant, the Medical Sergeant, and the Secret Agent.
"The only thing we know more than you," stated the Staff Sergeant, "Is that the Eyrodi Jungle is full of many wonders. One such was the Red Enclave. Have any of you heard of them?"
Professor Jill Lia answered, "Of course. A rebellion that had no chance against the Chromatik Party, but tried its best before it vanished about thirty or so years ago. Nobody has found where they went off to, nor found any of their members since. The Party almost killed every prisoner they had before they realized that the prisoners simply didn't know and stopped."
"We were told by the Colonel that there might be Red Enclave artifacts here. Nobody goes into the Eyrodi Jungle because it's dangerous, and because it's strange how a temperate jungle could exist in such a climate as Chromatika," said the Medical Sergeant.
"So, while we were seeing how people from different facets of the Color Code could fare together when put into survivalist situations, we were told to keep our eyes peeled. I promise you, though that this... Being? Power? What happened to us yesterday? All new. No briefings on that," finished the Secret Agent.
"Old Man's Shinbones!" screamed Clarissa, "It's dark magiks, it is! Me and you've all 'een cursed! Dis adventurr eez doomed!" The Bonesfolk had a feral look in her eyes.
"Calm down, Clarissa," said Tilda, trying to soften the mood, "The supernatural may be real after all. Not a surprise given the multiverse. The better question is, who is this being, and what does he have to do with your country?"
At the Cosumarite's question, it was Nick who answered. The lawyer's brows furrowed. "In the DTLF, it was always told that the Chromatik Party just happened due to the people rising. I never bought it, but the more I asked, the more I was told not to. It was like the Bronze, Silver, and Golds knew the truth, but nobody else did."
"Bronze, Silver, and Gold?" asked Grugel, "Money?"
Pierre laughed at that. "They were our government, you crazy Farf," he said, "The upper echelon of the upper echelon."
"Ah," remarked the Farf, "Fuck them, then. Your government sucked!"
"On that, we agree," said the Medical Sergeant, "And we not have an opportunity to explore this. It might be dangerous, but I think it's worth a shot. That being said, this is not what you signed up for when you took this Operation. If you want to stay here, you can."
"Are you kidding?" came the voice of Justin, "Miss out on this? No way!"
"We are with you," stated Kelly the high school student, "Let's get going before any more time goes by."
So we gathered our belongings and set off deeper into the forest. It started to get thicker and thicker and the going got rough but for some weird reason it was just enough to walk through.
"Halt!" shouted Clarissa, who was near the back, "Dis 'ere is a door!"
The Bonesfolk wildly pointed at a door that everyone had somehow missed. It was hidden in deep vines, and seemed to lead into a hole of some kind.
"Ladies first?" quipped Nick.
Clarissa grabbed hold of the door handle and pried it open with a loud creak. The sunlight hit it, and then innate light appeared from within.
"Something's written here!" shouted Nick, "Welcome to... Heaven?"
The Staff Sergeant went in first, and said, "It looks safe enough. Come on!"
With that, we all went in one by one and started exploring.
