LMAO. Fantasy cast fulfilled!

I think there are many reasons that this section lost activity, and yes, a lot of it could be attributed to the users. But the site itself is just as much to blame. For what felt like months, it was just impossible to post here; any traction you had at the time was immediately halted, and the staff at the time was largely apathetic to it all.

I don't like it

@heh:

In preparation for next month's World Track Championship in Budapest, the Diamond Company hosted one of the last qualifying meets in the U.S.

One of the company's athletes qualified in San Antonio just weeks prior, which allowed the Diamond-Cut CEO to relax and enjoy the revenue streams from the event.

Following her appearance at the opening and the rendering of the national anthem, it was politics as usual; on the heels of a potential injunction by the Diamond Company board members, the company continued its push to unveil a heroes division with the statuesque CEO at its center.

"Ma'am, you're supposed to be at an interview in 2 minutes," Amale reminded, knowing full well Ziccarra intended to be late.

She never showed up on time, especially not for in-house meetings; being tardy enhanced the illusion that she was busy.

Normal hires were the responsibility of the specific appropriate branch manager, but this was for a coach, and all coach hires had to be funneled through Ziccarra. "What's this person's name."

"Wayne Heh, Not even kidding, that's his real name. He has solid credentials, gained much notoriety in Europe, and won a championship in Japan." Theo reported as he handed Z Wayne's resume.

"What am I going to do with a soccer coach? Our Soccer academy is only a summer thing. I think I'd be spending more money to bring him on than to hire him in the spring." At the moment, they'd secured several potential soccer athletes, but none of them had made it through the Boot Camp yet.

"There's an idea, or you could hire him and allow HIM to train his personnel specifically. If his training regimen is right, we can use Heh's European contacts to plug Diamond Company athletes. He's a coach; we could run our team if we wanted. Remember, we're talking soccer; take America out of the picture. Europe is where we need to be."

"Uh-oh, that man got a JOB," Ziccarra said, her head snapping back a bit, impressed by Theo's take. Taking the file, she power-walked into the conference room and was taken back. 'Whoa, what is this' She thought, eying up his entire aesthetic.

The Diamond Company didn't just dabble in sports; Ziccarra had her hand in a fashion and image consultant firm. As she eyed him, she figured hiring him meant sending him through the entire Diamond Company engine. Her facial expressions remained tame despite her thoughts, not to betray her in his presence.

"Mr. Heh, is it? I apologize for being late. Imma gets right into it. What do you think you offer the Diamond Company?"

I should do a whole Batman Begins, or The Batman-type vibe. Whereas Jasmine isn't super experienced from the jump.

@adela_roth: Whenever you're free, I want to write to you.

She was late, but that wasn't out of the usual. Ziccarra is known for arriving late to her meetings, especially meetings with the investors. As she entered the main floor of the company building, both Amale and Theo flanked her, her assistants giving her the rundown of the meeting thus far.

"It's not good that you're showing up an hour late, boss, but they're looking to file an injunction," Theo explained, which stopped Ziccarra mid-stride. "How are they going to file an injunction on me?" The two of them went quiet; she hastened to the meeting once she saw they didn't have the answers.

The moment she entered the conference room, the innocuous chatter ceased; all eyes shifted to Ziccarra, save for the chairmen; his eyes went to his watch.

"Finally, let's get this--" He started, but the agitated CEO cut him off. "Not you acting like you own this building; need I remind you that I don't NEED your money? I don't have to be in the United States; I can take my business anywhere. What's this all about?"

The only woman on the board spoke up to ease the tension.

"Well, we are moving to file an Injunction to stop the Diamond Company from going forward with the heroes division. We don't feel it's necessary and think it will cost money in the long term. Lastly, if you get injured, who's running the company."

Jasmine finally sat at the head of the table, thinking through the entire situation. She hadn't thought about who would take over if she was injured or killed--that much still needed to be thought through.

I will file a motion to dismiss your Injunction when it is. I'm going to buy up the rest of your shares. And kick you out of my company. I built this company in a college dorm and won't have my vision obscured by corporate drones.

Jasmine stood up to leave, the meeting wasn't over, but she didn't intend to listen to anything else. Instead, she directed Theo to get the rest of the minutes.

Amale ran out behind Ziccarra, trying to get her attention. "Ziccarra! Ma'am, fork it, Jazz!" The statuesque CEO turned a bit irritated. "You should consider what the board says about what happens if you're injured. Maybe, you should I dunno join a team? Get some reps under your belt?"

Jasmine and Amale had known each other for years; she could hear the fear in her friend's voice. "Fine, ready, my jet. I'm taking a trip to New York."

"Why New York?"

"Going to visit the Hellfire Academy"
