Prompter: Anonymous

Prompt: Sun Zheping acts as a mentor and offers advice to the rest of Team Heavenly Sword.

“Don’t let up,” Sun Zheping urges, leaning over to better see the screen of Heavenly Sword’s captain. The berserker isn’t being aggressive enough; if he fails to inflict enough damage, this won’t be a trade but a one-sided beating. By this point, Lou Guanning has long gotten over his pride--he knows Sun Zheping’s judgement far exceeds his own--and so he pushes past his limits to reach for the next level that Sun Zheping assures is waiting.

Prompt: Wu Chen as captain of Everlasting

Silent tears dripped down Wu Chen’s face as he stared at the familiar characters on screen, their name tags now decked out in Guild Happy’s cheerful red. With love and laughter laced through their voices, Wu Chen's former teammates scolded his disbelief.

“Team Everlasting is more than just an Esports team, Captain.”

 


 

Prompter: Fayah

Prompt: Thunderclap eating at mcdonalds post-match 

No one could remember who first suggested stopping at McDonald’s for a post-match snack, but now it was a time-honored tradition for team Thunderclap to crowd into a booth and share an inordinate amount of fries and ice cream while chatting about the match.

“Hey, did we leave Captain Liu Hao at the venue?” asked Zhang Qi, their newest rookie.

“We forgot him on purpose,” said Dai Yanqi, and then as if to scold him for asking such a stupid question, she reached over with her spoon and stole a bite of his McFlurry.

Prompter: TheDefenestrator

Prompt: “Screaming at you and also the void”

They called it something cute that disguised its insidious nature. Li Xuan’s “office hours” let their team cohere in a way that other teams didn’t: anything that they confessed to Li Xuan--frustration, resentment, insecurity, anger--once out of their mouth would disappear into the void. 

But what happens when one day the void you’ve been yelling into suddenly yells back?

 


 

Prompter: gilrin

Prompt: Tang Hao gets Enlightenment and Liu Hao gets Kicked Out.

“I’ve found God and God told me you suck,” Tang Hao said to Liu Hao.

“Wh-” Liu Hao couldn’t even get a word in before he was unceremoniously booted from the building.




 

Prompter: Syncogon

Prompt: We know of Chu Yunxiu's feelings toward Misty Rain’s roster problem, but what do the other players think? Especially Li Hua and the Shu twins.

“Was this the best decision?” asked Shu Keyi.

“Did we make a mistake?” asked Shu Kexin.

The two of them, who were so sure before, didn’t know anymore. They joined this team to make waves, but their waves had dissipated the mist, leaving only the rocky seas below.

 


 

Prompter: Fayah

Prompt: Catboys

Wu Yuce handed Li Xuan a printout from a popular fanfiction website where a fan with some kind of Harry Potter name had typed out a single word prompt.

“This is it,” Wu Yuce spat, his fluffy cat ears flattening with agitation. “This is the source of the catboy curse.”

“Is this catboy curse really that bad?” asked Ge Caijie. He was eyeing Wu Yuce’s ears like he really wanted to pet them.

“Yes, it’s that bad,” Wu Yuce hissed. “Think of the fanartists!”

Everyone gulped.

“Looks like it's championship or catboys," Li Xuan addressed the team with unprecedented seriousness. "For the sake of our dignity, let’s work hard.”

“Y-yeah!”
