  1. (idk what else to title this) Disclaimer: This story takes place after Loona was drafted but before the season starts "Another shot of tequila, señora?" The bartender asks as he prepares to pour Millie another shot "or so you think you have had enough?" "Ugh I think I am good" Millie said as she got up from the barstool. To celebrate her friend Loona being drafted to the Mexico City Kings, her and her husband Moxxie along with Loona decided to visit a local bar in Mexico City to enjoy some food and drinks. "Y'all certainly make some good tequila" "Thanks señora" the bartender smiles before Moxxie drags Millie away from the bar back to their table, where Loona is texting on her phone "Man these next few days are just going to be full of interviews" Loona sighs as she takes a bite out of her quesadilla "that one guy who interviewed me on that radio station talked so fast I could barely keep up with him" "Well good thing you could or that would have been difficult" Moxxie says as he sits Millie down "anyways you said that the arena was pretty nice right?" "Yeah the arena is pretty big for a VHLM team, but it is the only team they have" Loona smiles "The GM and coach both spoke perfect English, and they gave me a personal tour along with showing me the team wing of honor." "Have you heard from Blitzo lately?" Millie asks as she eats some tortilla chips. "Yeah, he did mention that he will try to visit me soon" Loona then noticed the dance floor beginning to fill up, and started to get up to join them "don't worry I'll be back" she says as she goes to dance. "So do you ever worry about her?" Millie asks Moxxie "I mean yeah I do sometimes but not anymore then I would think is normal" Moxxie shurgs "why do you ask honey?" "Well I know I might have had one too many, but she has visited so many different countries and sometimes I worry that she might be doing too much" "Well she is just doing what every player from this league has to do" Moxxie shurgs "so honestly I don't see what there is to really worry about." "I just worry that one day she might not need us anymore..." "Oh don't worry about that honey I think we'll always have a place with her" Moxxie smiles "and if nothing else, Blitzo will always have stuff for us to do" Loona then returned to the table after dancing with a few churros for them. "Hey you two, I brought dessert" Loona smiles as she takes a bite out of hers "what were you both talking about?" "Ehh it's nothing that important" Moxxie says as he grabs his churro "just talking about the future" "Yeah the future can be scary" Loona shrugs "but hopefully we'll still have each other I guess" "Yeah I sure hope so" Moxxie mumbles "Anyways I got challenged to a game of dice and cards apparently called Medic Stud or something like that, and I'm wondering if any of you want to play" "I'll just watch, I'm starting to feel like I'll black out" Millie says tiredly "Well I guess it's just you and me Moxxie" Loona says as they walks towards the card table.
  2. I completely agree, trying to hard to be a big earner kept burning me out, so now I'm earning on my own pace
  3. "And with the 19th pick in the VHLM draft" the VHLM commissioner begins to announce "the Mexico City Kings select Loona Buckzo from the United Kingdom" Loona's eyebrows rasie a bit as the drafts pick is announced, and soon sighs and grabs $20 to give to her friend Moxxie. "Yeah I know, here you go" Loona says as she hands the money to him "can't believe I lost that bet" "Honestly I didn't really know if you were gonna be drafted to a team outside the US, I just guessed" Moxxie says as he puts the money in his pocket. The two of them had made a bet on whether or not Loona would be drafted to the US, and Moxxie took the win. "Anyways, The Kings seem like a good team, so this should be fun" "There is just one problem though" Loona says a bit nervously "I speak absolutely zero Spanish" "Hmm I think I might know someone who could act as our translator" her other friend and Moxxie's wife Millie says after taking a bite of pizza "if nothing else, think about all the tequila we can drink there!" "I don't drink much, but I hope you have fun with it" Loona smiles a bit "still if you can get a translator that would be helpful, otherwise this might be tricky for us"
  4. Loona inwardly sighs a bit as she heads to her old apartment in London England. She had been told by San Diego Marlins management that unfortunately they will not be able to house her in the apartment anymore due to some league rule preventing it during the last week before the draft, and she and her friends Moxxie and Millie had to head back to their old place in London. Still for her, it was much better than the alternative, and as she unlocked the door, she saw her adopted father in Blitzo waiting for her with some fish and chips. "Hey there Loonie!' he waves at her between bites of fish "this dish is actually pretty good, got it from a pub not too far from here" "Sounds good Blitzo, did you leave some for us?" Loona asks as she puts her luggage down on the couch. "Of course, yours is in the fridge" he says before they grab the food from the fridge and start to eat as they watch TV "so they had to kick you out of the apartment huh?" "It's not that big of a thing" Loona says after finishing off a piece of fish "they just said that they could not house me after releasing me from my waiver contract, and I didn't have enough cash to pay for the apartment rent" "Loona this is why I said to save as much as you could" Blitzo lectures her "just in case something like this happens" "Hey I did try to save, but you try saving money when so many shops are full of stuff to buy in San Diego it's hard to save as much as I can." Loona pouts a bit before sighing "besides, it's not like I'm broke. I still have some cash left over from the waiver contract, but an apartment in San Diego is not cheap and I did not want to break the bank for it" "I guess that is fair" Blitzo shrugs "anyways, what are your plans now that you are in London?" "Doing a lot of interviews and stuff like that. I know quite a few hockey magazines that would kill to do an interview with an up and coming star, so I am spoiled for choice" Loona grabs a can of Fanta Orange and took a drink of it before continuing "I think I already got a few set up for tomorrow, so that should be fun" "Loona don't overextend yourself" Moxxie warned "it is a very good way to burn yourself out" "I know don't worry, I'm only gonna do two or three interviews" Loona smiles a bit "I do appreciate you worrying about me though" "You're welcome" Moxxie said before yawning "jet lag is a pain..." "Yeah I am pretty tired as well" Loona yawns before getting up and heading to one of the bedrooms "looks like you kept the room clean for me Blitzo" "Of course Loonie!" Blitzo grins "I kind of had a feeling you would be visiting here at some point before the draft" "I see" Loona yawns again before going to shut her door "anyways, goodnight!" She says as she waves to them before going to take a nap.
  5. "Hey Loonie, how is it in San Diego?" Blitzo Buckzo asks his daughter Loona while they both talk on the phone. "It is actually pretty good Blitzo" Loona replaies It's gotten cold lately, but some lady knitted us sweaters and they are the warmest shirts we own" "Well if you need some warm clothes, I could always bring some over" "Well I don't know where I'll be drafted yet obviously, but yeah honestly that would be great after the draft. These sweaters are pretty nice though, like they feel like fleece" "And she just gave you those sweaters, no questions asked?" Blitzo said, not really believing his daughter "Oh yeah she just said it was because of Christmas. Honestly humans are too nice for thier own good" She send him a text with her wearing it. "I don't know how she found out the names of everyone in the building, but she must have her ways" "Huh I guess she does. I will believe you because I know you wouldn't spend money on sweaters like that. Anyways, I am glad you are all doing alright, and I hope that I will get to see you soon Loonie. I gotta take care of some business, so love you!" "I love you too Blitzo" Loona sigha a bit as she hangs up the phone, and hugs the warm sweater a bit to herself.
  6. Loona Buckzo yawns as she hears the doorbell ring early in the morning. She checks her phone to see that it was 7:30 AM, a couple of hours before she was supposed to wake up in her San Diego condo and do more scouting stuff. It was an unusually cold day for San Diego as well, so she was shivering a bit because she forgot to set the temperature. Groaning, she puts on a thick robe and heads to the door past her snoring roommates and opens the door to see a woman and her what Loona assumed to be her husband standing there outside her condo entrance. "Hello dear!" The woman starts to say as she digs into a red bag she had with her "I know that it is really early in the morning, my husband here forgot to get me up last night to do this as I'm an early bird, but I have brought the residents of this building some presents for the holidays!" She hands a box wrapped in holiday wrapping paper into Loona's arms. "Umm thanks?" Loona says, slightly uncertain "even knowing what I am, you still hand out presents to me?" "Well you and your friends, I have a couple more" She puts the other two presents on the chair outside of the condo "I just think that even demons like you three deserve a Merry Christmas. Anyways I have a couple more doors to go, so good luck in the upcoming draft and have a Merry Christmas!" "Umm thank you" Loona says as she brings the presents into the condo and, after making herself look less tired, shook Moxxie and Millie awake "What the hell Loona?" Moxxie yawned as he looked at the clock "we weren't supposed to get up for a couple of hours or so" "Well this lady just gave us these presents and I don't think I can go back to bed honestly" She hands them the presents and they open them to reveal that each of them is a custom made sweater with thier names on the front made out of very high quality threads. "Well ain't this cute" Millie smiled as she puts on the sweater "how do y'all suppose she knew our sizes?" "She probably just made a good guess" Moxxie as he puts on his. Loona puts hers on last, the warmth of them being even warmer than the robe. "I swear, mortals can be too nice for thier own good" Loona smiles wistfully as she goes to make coffee "should we try to get them something in return?" "Well we don't exactly know what they like, so maybe we could make some brownies or something" Moxxie suggested "Yeah that would probably be good, just hope there is no paparazzi or anything to see me baking brownies" Loona sighs "if Da- err, Blitzo saw me wearing a holiday sweater I'd never hear the end of it" "Well ether way let's just relax and enjoy how warm is is" Millie smiles as she gets close to Moxxie "Yeah that sounds good" Loona smiles as she gets on the couch. Between the warmth of the sweater and the cup of coffee, she certainly did not feel cold anymore as she turned on the TV "nothing on but Christmas stuff..."
  7. Loona breathes in and out as she jogs another lap around the beach. It was a beautiful day in San Diego, and Loona was taking advantage of it by keeping her body in shape for the ProAm tournament and the upcoming VHLM draft and season. "Ummm hey Loona!" Loona's ears perk up as she turns to see a girl and her family walking up to her. The girl nervously hands her a photo "umm I hope you do not mind, but we are from London on vacation and we got this photo of you playing in one of the last games of the season and well we were hoping you could sign it" "Well then this actually a first. But you do realize that I am not technically from the UK right?" Loona asks "Yes but you do have citizenship there and we think that you will do great things in the VHL regardless" the girl smiles "Well I guess you are right" Loona smiles as she signs the photo "congratulations you are the first person to ask me for an autograph. I better not see that photo on eBay for at least a few years" "Don't worry, we would not dream of that" the family said thier goodbyes as they walked away from Loona. "Heh, people actually happy to see me and signing autographs. I could get used to this" Loona smiles before going back to jogging.
  8. "So how has the dual citizenship thing been going for you Loona?" Moxxie asks Loona Buckzo as they both eat some pizza in their small condo in San Diego. "Ehh it's a lot of paperwork, but I think I finally am done with it all" Loona smiles "thankfully the people at the Marlins are letting me live here until the upcoming draft is over at the very least." "Well do y'all have any ideas where you're gonna go?" Millie asks in her typical Southern accent. Moxxie and Millie usually sleep on the couch which doubles as a futon while Loona sleeps in the bedroom. All three of them have been enjoying the fun and sun of San Diego, even if they sometimes get strange looks from passerbys. "Not really" Loona shrugs "the scouting has not really started yet, though San Diego has said that they are going to try to draft me at least. From what I have heard from my teammates, the scouting period is going to be a whirlwind of traveling and meeting people. Hopefully everyone is nice enough, I'm going to be so tired by the end" "Well at least we can plan for it" Moxxie shrugs "by the way have you heard from Blitzo?" "Yeah he said he was gonna visit next week, but didn't give me much details. I heard he is pretty busy though" Loona got up to pour herself some more Pepsi "after we're done eating, I might just collapse into bed, all that jogging has made me so tired" "Yeah we'll probably go to bed soon as well" Moxxie smiles tiredly "so tomorrow we head to the beach?" "Yeah I'm trying to enjoy my time off before things really get crazy" Loona smiles before heading back to the couch "I think I did well enough for my first few games, but the whole experience was a learning process. Also I think I am going to be in that upcoming ProAm tournament. They asked me if I wanted to help manage a team in the tournament, but I told them that I am only interested in playing because I know managing will just stress me out." "Is the ProAm thing like a big official VHL thing or what?" Millie asks "I'm honestly not sure. I don't really think it is" Loona shurgs "but ether way, it seems pretty fun, and it will be some good offseason practice for me to keep my body in shape. I honestly worry that I eat too much sometimes.' "Loona I told you before, you are in good shape so I wouldn't worry about it" Moxxie yawns "anyways, we can put this pizza in the fridge because I need to hit the hay before I doze off' "Yeah same" Loona yawns and stretches before going to put the pizza away "tomorrow will be fun, but don't forget that I am also going to be trying to get some exercise in, alright?" "Yeah I'll try to keep up with you" Moxxie sighs, not exactly looking forward to more exercise "see you tomorrow?" "Yeah see ya" Loona said before going to her small bedroom to fall asleep for the night.
  9. "I don't understand why people waste souch money on expensive designer clothes" Loona says as she drives the car that the San Diego Marlins loaned her to the arena "I honestly would rather get a lot of my clothes tailored" "Wait Loona didn't you use to always wear those designer clothes?" Moxxie asks "Yeah, before I realized that trying to look rich wearing designer clothes makes me look more poor than anything else" Loona shurgs before she pulls into the arena for the first practice that she gets to be involved in. The practice wasn't exactly the most fun for her, as she quickly realized how big the competition shift is between some guys and gals passing the time in Hell and actual professional hockey players even at this level of VHL competition. "Hey don't be so down on yourself" the team coach said as he hands her some water "everyone starts out rough in the VHLM, it is just the nature of things. You'll improve, trust me" "Don't worry, I'm trying not to be a downer, it just hit me how much work I am going to have to do" Loona shrugs as she drinks the water and hands the bottle back to him "I just need more practice, and you'll see how good I can be." "That's exactly what I want to hear!" The coach smiles.
  10. "Kind of ironic that you chose a sport that involves ice" "it's the opportunity to hit people into the wall isn't it?" "How do you not melt the ice just by walking on it?" Those questions flow through Loona's head like locust as she is driven by the team assistant to her new small condo in San Diego. The city itself looks absolutely gorgeous, and she is very excited to hopefully have a day at the beach in her short time there. "So where are you from?" The team assistant cheerfully asked " I don't think I have met someone like you before" "Well the team page says that I am from the UK" Loona shrugs "but do you want the honest answer? I am from Hell" "Wait are you serious?" The assistant says, raising her eyebrows "I mean it is not really an issue of course, but I thought the GM was messing with me" "Nope. From the depths of Hell, Hades, the underworld, h-e-double hockey stick whatever you want to call it" Loona shurgs as she drinks from a Coke the assistant brought for her "I was surprised that the VHL even did the waiver program for players down there, but somehow they found a way" "I won't prod anymore into it if you don't want me to" the assistant smiles "anyways, I heard two people named Millie and Moxxie will be living with you?" "Yeah they are going to be my roommates because I need someone to make sure I don't get into trouble, according to dear old da- err Blitzo." Loona catches herself right before she could say "dad". Despite having a good relationship with her adopted father, she doesn't like to call him dad "but at the very least they will keep me company going forward, be kind of boring being alone in a new city" "Yeah that I understand" the assistant nods as they pull into a fancy building "anyways, your condo will be on the third floor, here are your keys, and it looks like your roommates already made it" She points out a parked red Toyota with a Hell license plate. "You'd think they would have made thier license plate not be that obvious" Loona sighs as she takes the keys and begins to walk up to the building, before turning around "so the car I owned in London is on its way, right?" "Yeah we got another plane transporting that, and we'll give you a call when it is available" the assistant says as she waves goodbye "good luck Loona Buckzo!" Loona waves goodbye at her, than takes a moment to breathe in the San Diego air. The air was much more fresh than she was used to in Hell, so she wanted to cherish it for a moment. Then she sighs and heads into the building, and when she got into the condo she found both Moxxie and Millie asleep on the couch from the long trip. She drinks the rest of her coke before grabbing the remote and flipping through channels. "Simcenter huh" she says as she watches them talk about some random college athlete who got a lot of NIL money before falling asleep on the chair herself.
  11. Tbh I chose her home country on a whim.
  12. "Of all sports, why ice hockey?" Was a question that Loona Buckzo gets a lot, her being a hellhound usually has people associate her with fire. Her honest answer has always been: "Hell if I know. It's fun, so that's why I do it." This was the stuff on Loona's mind as she land in San Diego where she ended up after going through the VHL waiver program. She was at the very least excited to be in a place with a very nice beach and lots of sun, and it made her wonder how the ice didn't melt under the heat. She was sweating a bit when she got out of transit, being transported from the UK to San Diego California definitely had a weather shift she had to get used to. "Hey Loona glad you made it to San Diego!" The GM says as she talks to him on the phone. "A team assistant will pick you up and you'll be driven around the city before you head to the arena to sign a contract. We have set up a nice condo for you to stay in, just don't get a big head as you'll be starting at the same level that everyone else does" Loona chuckled at the Big Head. Don't get a big head, that's the same thing her dad- err Blitzo said when she was getting some attention. There is a lot more to her story, but it is a story for another time.

  14. "Hey honey, welcome home!" Izumi smiles as she hugs her husband Logan Foley as he finally came home from the latest Seattle Bears home game "now please tell me you got the ice cream" "I sure did Izumi" Logan says as he shows Izumi the ice cream as she gasps in happiness "I also met a couple of our neighbors at the store" "Wow really?" Izumi asks as she opens the ice cream "which ones were they?" "It was a woman named Abigail and her son Benny. I actually signed Benny's hat and it seemed to make him pretty happy" "Oh I know Abigail, I met her during the potluck." Izumi smiles "she is a lot nicer then Rachel, who I swear loves to snoop and spread rumors on everyone she can. I mean hell, she told me a bunch of stuff about every neighbor she could once we were alone and the minute someone else came into the room she stopped. I really do not like talking to her" "Yeah she seems like she is someone to avoid" Logan tries to get some ice cream as he says this, but she pulls it away "honey you are not eating that whole ice cream bucket" "I wasn't gonna eat it all!" She pouts "I was just not done getting my bowl yet" "Well still you better leave me some, I bought it. After some of those hits I took on the ice, I could use some"
  15. 44. I just think that our scoring hasn't been up to standards. 46. I would help us increase our scoring so we don't get shutout twice in a row again. 47. It would be some Bears Vodka, and it would be pretty sweet and tangy (I'm not an alcohol expert). 48. A team in Belgium would be pretty cool. 49. Probably teams in the most populated areas, like the New York Americans and Toronto Legion and LA Stars. 50. Maybe Malmo, since they have to share the area with a VHLE team in the Stockholm Vikings
  16. "Yeah I'll be home from the game in about an hour or so" Logan Foley tells his wife Izumi after a home Seattle Bears game "yeah that was a very nice goal from me wasn't it? I hope dad was watching that, he taught me that technique" "Yeah very nice goal" Izumi says as she eats her dinner of a baked potato and pulled pork "also our neighbors made this really nice pork for the neighborhood potluck, and I brought some home with me" "Aww that was today? I completely forgot all about that. Sorry honey" Logan admits shamefully "Don't worry about it, we all turned on the game at Sara's house" Sara is one of their new neighbors in Seattle that have been the most welcoming to them both "I'm pretty sure that they understood why you couldn't come this time" "Oh well that's good" Logan smiles "anyways I gotta get on the way to getting home, do you want me to get you something on the way?" "Yeah please get me some mint chocolate chip ice cream, I've been craving something with mint" "I'll be sure to honey. See you soon!" Logan gets in his SUV as he says that, having kept the same SUV for years because he felt no need to put money into a completely new one when his old one has worked so well for him. He soon drove up to a local grocery store to pick up the mint ice cream Izumi wanted so much, and tried his best to blend into the crowd so that not too many people bothered him on his way. Unfortunately for him, his big brown beard gave him away as he was approached by an excitable kid. "Oh my gosh you are Logan Foley!" The kid says as he smiles at Logan. Logan inwardly sighs as he puts on the best friendly smile he can based on how tired he was "can you sign my hat? Please?" "Hey Benny, don't just go up to him like that!" What looks like Benny's mom comes up to them both and talks to Logan "I'm sorry, I know that you must have just come from a game because you look quite tired. I was watching it with the rest of the potluck before we headed to the store." "Oh you were in a potluck?" Logan smiles "was it the one my wife was in? The neighborhood was Potters Street" "Oh yeah it was!" The woman says "right Izumi was there. She was super nice, but I do think she hasn't fully adjusted to life in America as of yet." "It has not been too long since we had to move" Logan shrugs "the move was kind of unexpected because the trade came out of nowhere. Luckily the Bears organization was very helpful with the move and everything seems to be working out far" "That is nice to hear. My name is Abigail by the way, and like I said this is my son Benny" "Well you already know my name is Logan Foley." Logan says as he signs Benny's hat "Benny next time don't just ask for an autograph out of nowhere when you meet a celebrity unless they are doing an autograph signing" "I understand Logan" Benny says as he holds that hat close "Be sure that you do" Logan says as he starts to go to pay for his ice cream "anyways I'll talk to you later ok?" "That sounds good, see you Logan!" Abigail says as they wave him goodbye.
  17. 35. I'm late on this, so Yaroslav Bogaty already scored it I believe. 36. I think we have the players to win it all. Could also be Malmo. 40. I think Logan Foley will have at least 50 points in the end 41. I think we will at least make a good playoff run. 42. Not exactly sure. I think we can but I don't know if it would be a big surprise. 43. Just relax with his pregnant wife.
  18. "I will say, the coffee here is absolutely delicious!" Logan Foley's wife Izumi says as she drinks up some coffee while talking to her mother Sakura on the phone "Well I would hope it is, that is where Starbucks has its headquarters" Sakura replies "by the way, how is Logan? How is he handling the big move?" "He seem to be taking it well" Izumi says as she puts the coffee down "admittedly spending a couple of years in Sweden has left him feeling a lot of culture shock despite him being born in America. He did discuss potentially going hiking in the mountains, but with my pregnancy there is absolutely no way right now" "Yeah that is understandable. I actually watched his first games with the Bears, it is odd to see him in a different uniform." "You're telling me! I actually had to look for him when the game was happening, and I would have gone to the game but I just wanted to lay down. By the way, the ultrasound is scheduled for next Tuesday and then we will hopefully know the gender of our new baby!" "Oh dear I can't wait to see the new little one soon! Sakura says smiling "anyways your father is calling for me so I will go now. Love you Izumi" "Love you too mother"
  19. 29. I think they will be a great addition to an already great roster 30. I think we have a lot of potential to be amazing. 31. 10/10, I think all the moves were great for the roster and the team overall. 32. I think Vancouver and the Titans did honestly. 33. I just wish I got a ROTY nom 34. Team USA, because it was the team I was on.
