I think I'm eligible for this! +10, Agustin Martinez (RW)

Nope, you don't get to live down your SBA Career old man /j I think having some level of interactive things and storytelling helps a league out tremendously!

Hell yeah thank you!! : D

In any sim league!

1. All roles seem really important, but goalies and defensive players seem to be the most important! That's what stops goals 2. I didn't follow any of that! 3. I was looking forward to hanging out with my girlfriend, which we did! A3: 1. Favorite VHL accomplishment, and why? 2. What helps and hurts a user's involvement in sim leagues? 3. How hard is it to pick out gifts that you think or know your family will like?

12-22-S96 As the holiday season rolled around, and so did the New Year. I would be spending this one alone after getting used to all my friends and family being around to support me. That was a kind of depressing reality, wasn’t it? I sighed and grabbed a piece of paper. Flipping it over, and it was that one drawing from my friend. He wasn’t the best at traditional art, being more of a digital artist, but it was cute regardless. The last gift I’d gotten about a year ago. I was cold, the weather was already extremely cold, something I was barely used to. I didn’t have much to do nor say and I just wanted to get out of this fucking house. Suddenly, though, my phone started ringing, and a familiar voice appeared over the phone as I put it to my ear. “Hoy, anong meron? Parang ang gulo mo sa bawat interview mo. Hopefully school isn't too difficult [laughter]. Anyways, may bukas na ticket papuntang America so I think we can make it for New Years, but not Christmas. Paumanhin, ngunit pinakamahusay sa iyo. Also before we go, get your anger issues fixed man! It wasn’t fun having all our mirrors broken!" “Get over yourself damnit, it’s not anger issues. It’s just sensory overload stuff or something, whatever the doctor said.” I clapped back, a grin on my face. “Hey, wait, weren’t you the one who broke a wall because a girl rejected you?” “Girl? What girl? The only girl I’ve ever talked to is my mother!” Despite the obvious facts that I remembered from this guy, who’d been rejected by some foreign girl who just came to the country for a few days or something, he seemed to be adamantly denying it. Both of them were 14, one very much head over heels and the other barely understanding what he was saying. “Don’t you have hockey stuff to get back to anyways, A?” Ah yes, he kept up this tradition of calling everyone their first initial. Something about getting in trouble for harassing me because his parents still viewed me as someone like his sister, and two of his friends of his had the letter A to start their name, me and Alex. He was also technically a foreigner, but his parents moved here when he was 18 months old or something like that he told us. I grinned. “Don’t you have a little sister to catch up on?” The both of us laughed at our little inside jokes before we hung up, a satisfying end to the conversation or something like that. Oh, right. I did have hockey stuff to do. Not for the VHL, but someone in the agency asked for me to be in a hockey stadium by 9PM tonight. I wonder what that was about. I’d signed with them last week because I got scared of not having someone be my agent, but their pay barely helped since I was mostly getting CAD $75-80 for most of the commercial gigs I was a part of, but they did give me $100,000 to help me on my transition journey. Now if only that appointment could be scheduled… I made my way to the arena, heavy duty coat on and whatnot. I found the guy who was waiting for me. He was apparently a coach in a basketball league or something like that. “Hello Agustin. I’m Sam, the person who signed you over the phone. I already told you the contract details, but let’s recap: 10% of your salary belongs to us in exchange for us paying for a large portion of your medical bills, especially if you enter the United States, which I hear you might be going to soon.” Sam said with a smile. I nodded along, the contract stuff was boring. He already paid me, I checked my account that he helped me set up. “Now, though, since you actually showed up, why don’t we play in a 1v1? I heard you were amazing in the Philippines at field hockey and this is basically your first experience with ice hockey. Let’s get those skills back. I’ll let you choose what side you want to be on, and I’ll go to the other. And no, don’t worry, I made sure we had access. No one else, just you and me, and we have full access.

So Agustin is sitting at 136 TPE, which isn't that far from 150. It probably will take him until S98 but he'll be past 300 TPE in no time. It's kinda nice to see the guy I made being praised by some people since I saw that in some posts. People are talking about him being talented and whatnot and it's just kinda cool to see. Someone who you put effort into making great is, well, being looked at as most likely going to be great. Sure, I have competition with higher TPE users like CJ Daniels and whatnot, but at the same time, it's like I'm up there, if that makes sense!

Woo !!!

Waow !

Agustin grabbed his wrist, staring at the floor, as he walked towards the airport once more counting the tiles from the crosswalk. It wasn’t that long since the last time he was here, and it wouldn’t be the last time he’d be at the airport, at least he was realistic with himself. He stared at the floor, the only words that spun around in his mind were depressing. He sighed, looking back up at the airport. Yay, he’d been drafted, What else was he supposed to say? There’s no excitement in a world that’s been heavily grayed. Minus the occasional colors here and there, there wasn’t much to be excited about. The last few weeks had been really rough on him, though doing very little reflection on why exactly he felt the need to hate everything. Well, he knew why; he wasn’t getting what he wanted. Not getting what he wanted made him sound more like a spoiled child rather than a person who could live on their own though. It was something that he didn’t want to think about or something along those lines. He knew exactly why he’d be feeling super unhappy with himself, yet he didn’t want to confront it. Something was telling him that it’s a multitude of reasons; being trans and not being seen as what he identified as by people around him was one thing, the fact that he didn’t have a very good upbringing, the fact that he was a teenager that thought he was right with every situation, and he wasn’t the best at controlling his emotions because he wasn’t in the best situation mentally when he came over to the Americas. America was very scary; not just the United States, but the entirety of America. It was larger than the Philippines and every person he met, it was like there was a wall between him and them that prevented him from talking to them. #-# The money Saskatoon had given me for that season should be able to keep me afloat for just long enough to make it in Mexico City. That was the way I was going to handle this. It might be enough to at least get me to live alone. I don’t know what the legal age of buying a home or renting one is, though. I never looked it up. With my own apartment, I’d have privacy instead of having to deal with someone screaming at me to stop breaking everything. They were never able to get it, so why do they have to ruin the things that I do? Whatever. The window seat was nice, watching the clouds pass by and sleeping on the plane was… peaceful enough for a single stop in the flight. It was about 12 hours total to get from Canada to Mexico. That’s all I could really say about my flight honestly, it wasn’t anything special. Not like it’d have to be something special anyways. Once the plane landed, I heard clapping from people in the other rows. What the hell. Why was everything so noisy all of a sudden, the plane just landed. It’s not like someone just said something inspirational. Screw this, I hate these people. It doesn’t matter who they are or who they think they are, even. I can’t believe them. It was way too cramped in here for people to start clapping, and with how loud the clapping was, I think I was more than right. At least I had headphones in, that dulled the noise down at least a little bit. I stared into the airplane screen as it faded to black. I wanted to hit it. Fuck this plane and fuck these people. The plane touched down and I immediately grabbed my shit. Well, more, it was passed to me and I just put it on my back again. I asked the person who’d been sitting next to me if they could get it; “Sure, here.” Something about the way people acted started pissing me off now. THey were so obnoxious and annoying. People began deboarding the plane, and most went to the baggage claim. I skipped that part, I didn’t have much to bring so I didn’t pack as much. Most of the stuff in here was tech stuff that he could use to contact family and people who he just needed to be in contact with.

Martinez Mentioned! Let's go!

ahoj

1. Honestly, being in this draft class was just really fun! I don't know half of the people who are in this class, but there's a lot of stuff to like about at least getting drafted! 2. Mexico City seems pretty cool irl, I'm sure it would be cool in a roleplay scenario or hell, as a team! 3. As I told everyone who asked: I just want to get drafted! Whether I get drafted top 10 or bottom of the class, it doesn't bother me! Hell, even if I do go undrafted, that's a good story to write about! 4. Get #1 and d raft me /j (I don't know how to answer this tbh!) 5. I think they're a fine first choice! Not the best or worst first! 6. No idea lol I'd just try to be a part of the crew I guess!

Day 4? More... more like.... like........ bandage!

1. Personally, January 31! No reason to keep it up for the next month but it's pretty sitting there! 2. None! As long as it's not nothing, why should there something that someone doesn't like? If you don't need it, you can always donate it to someone! I guess that'd be my way of thinking I guess? To be fair, I don't like super gendered stuff! That's probably a trans person specific thing but still! 3. I'm going to loosely base this question off of my potential builds that'll be my "floor" when Agustin enters into the VHL I think he scored more points than the last season! Questions: -------- 1. What's your favorite movie of all time? 2. What kind of gift (jewelry, a game, an entire PC, etc.) would you want to give to someone who's close to you, whether partner, family, or friend? 3. How has the month of December affected you so far, mentally, emotionally, or physically? You're allowed to vent out frustrations in a spoiler if you want!
