《Depth》23

A couple days ago was our last NWSL game before we were released for the World Cup and we beat Houston 3-1 with Christine, Hayley, and Tobin getting the goals. Today is our first day of the World Cup camp and it's an easy day. We have a bunch of press to do and other non training related things. At the moment we are doing a photoshoot in our kits and I'm the fourth person to go.
"Why do you girls wear makeup?" I ask to nobody in particular as someone puts some type of makeup on my face.
"Well some of us need it to look good unlike you." Someone says.
"Oh please. None of you need it."
"Lindsey I'm stealing your girlfriend." Kelley says.
"Excuse me." Lindsey says.
"Sorry Kels, but I'm perfectly happy with Lindsey."
"Alright you ready?" The photographer asks.
"I think so. How do I look?"
"Wait." Lindsey says and walks over to me then does something with my hair. "Okay you look perfect now."
"Not as perfect as you." I say and Lindsey blushes then pecks my lips and walks away.
"Cairo are you always this flirty?" Abby asks.
"It's not flirty if it's the truth." I say and the team aww and I can see Lindsey blushing again. "But yes with Lindsey I do flirt a lot just so I can see her blush because I find it cute."
"But what about when you flirt with the team?" Mal asks.
"What do you mean?"
"Like when you said none of us need makeup. That was flirting."
"Not really. It's the truth. Nobody here needs it." I look back at the photographer. "I'm sorry ma'am I didn't mean to stop the shoot. I'm ready whenever you are."

"It's okay...For the first shot I need you to have no smile. Have your game face on." I do what the photographer says and stand and look at the camera.
"So her natural face." Kling says from behind the camera causing me to glare straight at her.
"If looks could kill you'd be dead Kling." Pinoe says.
"Alright for the next one I need you to smile." I do as told and smile.
"Cairo actually smile." Kelley says.
"I am."
"Cairo think of your favorite memory of Lindsey." Alex says and my smile instantly gets bigger and the photographer snaps some pictures. "Knew that would work."
"Okay for the last one I need you to do your goal celebration."
"Um I need someone else then."
"That's fine" The photographer says
"Who wants to do it?" I ask.
"I'll do it." Ash says.
"So what is your celebration?"
"I run and jump on someone." I say and the photographer sets us up how she wants us. Ash is in the middle of the back drop and I'm off to the side.
"Alright on 3 do your thing. 1...2...3..." I run and jump into Ash's arms and wrap my legs around her and both of us smile like idiots.
"Great...we are done with what I need. Do you have any other poses you want to do?" The photographer asks.
"I'm good if you are." The photographer nods so I walk out from in front of the camera and wait around until I am told to go change into something more comfortable then come back down. I go up to Lindsey and I's room and change then come back down and wait for everyone to finish their shoot then change out of their kit.

"Alright now we are gonna do a video of other people on the team and coaching staff asking each of you 10-15 questions." The team press officer says. The camera people then begin setting up the two cameras. One pointing toward the person answering the questions and one pointing toward the rest of the team. "Ready whenever you guys are."
I'm up first.
"If you weren't a soccer player and didn't have your business what you be doing?" Lindsey asks first.
"Probably something to do with kids like a pediatric nurse or working with an orphanage or teaching."
"Messi or Ronaldo?" Tobin asks.
"Sorry Lindsey...Ronaldo."
"Would you let one of us give you a tattoo?" Mal asks.
"As long as I get to tattoo you back I would."
"Where did you grow up?" Ali asks.
"California"
"Outside of sports where do you want to be in five years?" Alex asks.
"Married with kids." I say and I see Lindsey smile.
"What team that you haven't played yet would you want to play?" Jill asks.
"Iceland."
"When you were growing up what athlete or athletes did you most look up to?" Rose asks.
"Abby Wambach, Paul Scholes, and Cristiano Ronaldo."
"If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive who would they be?" Christen asks.
"Nelson Mandela, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Charlie Chaplin."
"Who is your favorite rapper right now?" Abby asks.
"J. Cole"
"What is something nobody knows about you?" Kelley asks.
"I was eligible to play for 4 national teams."
"Which ones?" Jill asks.
"Iceland, Italy, Spain, and obviously the US."
"Why are you eligible for those 4?"
"Well I was born and lived in the US for 15 years. My mom was Spanish and my dad was Italian and I lived in Iceland for three years."
"Why'd you choose to represent America?" Tobin asks.
"I lived here for 15 years. And Jill was the only coach to call." I say and Jill looks happy about that.
"Besides Lindsey who is your celebrity crush?" Kling asks.
"Demi Lovato."
"After all the current captains retire who do you think should be the next captain?" Carli asks.
"Morgan Brian or Julie Ertz"
"Where do you want to go on your next vacation?" Sam asks.
"Switzerland." I say.
After that question I'm done so I go sit with the team and we ask the other people questions and by the time we are done it's dinner time so we eat then go to sleep early since training starts tomorrow.

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)

Children of the Halo
A thousand years have passed since the signing of the Pact: an historic agreement between the nations of the Pactlands to work for the betterment of the whole. But in recent years, the Empire of Vector has been growing more bold, submitting a claim for the long-contested Disputed Lands. When a young and inexperienced noblewoman ventures into the anarchic territories the residents call the Free Lands in an effort to discover what Vector is plotting, the last thing she expected to find was a City of Wonders. On a fateful summer morning, the Vancouver Island town of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada finds itself and its very residents thrust sideways from the world they know to the medieval Pactlands: a world ruled by a shadowy council of mages and governed by the laws of steel and influence. Cut off from their own world, the residents of this small cottage town are thrust knee-deep into the political, humanitarian and martial turmoil suffered by the residents of the Free Lands. Staring down the threat of the Vectoran claimant force, the hidden machinations of the High Magus Council, and desperately seeking the allies and resources they need to maintain their way of life, the residents of Ladysmith must use everything they have at their disposal to survive and claim their own place in a world they were not born to. Magic, intrigue and eight thousand Canadians. What could go wrong? Updates every Tuesday and Thursday.
