Diane slipped the dress back onto its hanger before putting it in her closet and pulling on a pair of shorts and a nightshirt. It had been an amazing evening on every level, but she was also glad to finally be home. She ducked into her office, noticing the CAT5 cable hanging across the top of the door again. She’d at least got it off the floor, but the hooks she used to wire it across the wall to the router weren’t working. She hooked it up again, then flopped in her office chair and booted up her gaming system. As the electronics whirred and beeped, Diane reflected on singing on the stage. She’d been shaking so hard she thought she was going to drop the mic or fall off the stage, but it’d all come together in the end and the look on Connor’s face had been worth every shaky moment. Though she still wasn’t in a rush to do it again. She liked being the power behind the prose.

She glanced at the clock in the corner of the computer screen. It was late, but not too late to log in and check her stats. She’d crashed the tournament requirements this morning, driving her team numbers as high as she could without having the full team in place. She hadn’t been lying when she told Connor that she was busy with the tournament, but she’d run the math and if the team played decently without her tonight after she bolstered the numbers during the day, they could still reach the cut off levels.

The moment she logged on her chat screen filled with chatter.

-Have you seen the ranks? We’re in!-

-Hey, D! We’re in the top five.-

-Ranks! We’re in the invitation level!-

Diane laughed as they went on and brought up the tournament screen. As promised, there they were, sitting in fourth place. Anything above fifth meant they qualified for the tournament outright and didn’t have to play through the elimination rounds for the other five spots in the top ten.

-I see us. Really well done, everyone.-

-Yeah, well, that early head start didn’t hurt. But look, I’ve heard this tourney is different. It’s going to be a feeder to an even bigger project. We HAVE to win.-

Diane considered the message, opening another window and starting to look up the information even as the chat kept coming.

-I’m thinking we need a little more structure to our practice, ya know. And D, yer gonna hate it, but we need you to go voice. It’s just not effective to have to type during a battle. We’ve managed and stuff, but if we’re serious about keeping on with this…Well…I just want to take it seriously, and that means practice and hearing each other.-

Diane didn’t answer immediately, reading the details of the secondary project. The top teams would go head to head against a hand-selected Forged in Fire team on a livestream that would be on television as well as online outlets. There weren’t details about the compensation yet, but rumors abounded from cash prizes to marketing opportunities.
