"Woah! You really kicked butt out there Ji-Young!"
"Thank you, Ma-Ri, but it was really close." She could feel her cheeks flush at the praise.
"Of course it was, everybody probably sent their hard hitters." Cecil finally glanced away from the recording of the match he had been reviewing. "You won, its perfectly fine to celebrate. Go on, boast and little, have a drink."
"Yeah, you should be proud."
got bored and decided to do some vent art.
Have a grumpy Night possibly after a bad hecaball game
Cherry Hills Knights Vs Apricus University Argonauts.
“It’s a sold out arena yet again, but are you really surprised? IT’S HECABALL TIME! The Cherry Hills Knights are ready to go! Some people say their cheerleaders are the best, and most energetic in the league! They’ve certainly got the crowd hyped up!”
“The Argonauts have a few new players this season, and you’ve got to believe they are looking to better themselves after last season’s second place finish! Both teams are lined up and we’re ready to go!”
“HERE WE GO! Argonauts gain control of the ball, Number 95, M. Night charging forward, passes to number 41 L. Onyx, Onyx with some fancy footwork trying to throw the Knights defense off their game. Onyx loses control of the ball though and the Knights try to advance, Knights take a shot but the Argonauts goalie was ready for it. Tosses it back out.”
“Argonauts making a quick substitution, as do the Knights. Seems like both teams have done their research. Argonauts bouncing the ball back and forth, nice teamwork, Night with a bounce off a teammate’s shield and over the heads of a few Knights players. Takes a shot but it’s caught by the knights goalie!”
“Knights with control now, despite the large amount of students cheering on the Argonauts it does seem like the Knights have more than a few supporters rocking the arena! Knights pass the ball between the legs of an Argonauts player, Knights take a shot..NO it’s a fake, passes to a teammates, shoots and scores! Knights are on the board! it’s 1-0.”
“Argonauts have control of the ball, pulling the goalie and deciding to switch to an offensive formation. Argonauts trying to overwhelm the Knights but Knights defense is holding tough! OH NO! Argonauts lost control! Knights have a free shot with no Argonauts goalie! Shoots and score! Knights up 2-0! And we’re at the half!”
“Please give a welcome to “Dollhouse” here to perform their hit single “Shattered Porcelain.”
“Great halftime show wasn’t it folks? Now we’re back to the action! Argonauts have made another substitution, number 13 W. Constantine! This marks the professional debut for Miss Constantine, let’s see what she’s got! Argonauts rushing forward, M. Night with a huge block! Passes to Constantine, Constantine cutting through the Knights defense..and she scores! 2-1!”
“Knights now going on offense, trying the same strategy from earlier and pulling their goalie! Knights with a nasty hit on Onyx, knocking her into the wall...surprised that one didn’t get a penalty but she’s ok..in fact she repays the favor, knocking into a Knights player’s shield and making them lose control of the ball!”
“Constantine gets it and heads toward the goal, shoots and scores! We’re tied at 2-2.”
“Much like Monday’s game..we’re getting a bench clearer..looks like practically everyone is out there now. Both teams throwing everything into the game! Knights sneak by, shoots but it’s caught by Night, Night passes to Onyx, Onyx charging forward, some nice trickery by Onyx, Onyx fakes a kick and passes back to Night, Night shoots and scores! Argonauts up 3-2!”
“Knights don’t seem too happy about that and have turned up the aggression a bit! Better be careful or this thing is gonna turn into a brawl! Knights overwhelming the Argonauts defense though..shoots, NO deflected, Argonauts goalie passes but the Knights intercept! Knights shoot and score! We’re tied again at 3-3!”
“It’s coming down to the wire as the two teams fight for control of the ball! Argonauts lose control, Knights trying for that last shot but Constantine uses her shield to bounce off of her teammate’s..and KICKS THE BALL IN MIDAIR! Knights goalie catches and throws it back out but it’s knocked into the air by Night, Onyx bounces a Knights player out of the way as Constantine gets the shot..SCORES! 4-3! AND THAT’S THE GAME!”
“Argonauts take their first win of the season over a very game Knights team. Both teams played incredibly well and I think they are both going to have a hell of a season this year! Thanks for tuning in folks! Next Monday we’ll see the final game of the first round as the debuting Solis Scarabs take on The North Apricus Sharks! Goodnight everyone!”
“Join the Apricus University Argonauts and proudly wear your green and white!”

So @apricuscity is a world created by two extremely talented writers and they established a game called “Hecaball.” My character Night (who can be found here) happens to play for the Apricus University team, and I just felt inspired to see the sport come to life! I’m extremely proud of this piece. <3

Cheshire Hounds Vs Apricus City Freelancers!
“Good afternoon Apricus! Augustine Cornelius Eckerman here. Are you ready for an exciting afternoon of Hecaball?! We’re here live from Solis Heights as the Cheshire Hounds take on the Freelancers! Despite it being one of those rare “early” games we’ve got a packed arena and the crowd is just as lively as ever!”
“As many of you know, back when I played I was with the Hounds. My jersey was actually retired and currently resides right here is this very arena alongside those of other notable Hounds players! Enough about me though, the teams are taking the field! Hounds have the homefield advantage so you know Jaime Baskerville is soaking all of this in..”
“And here we go! Hounds will start with the ball. As you know, both the Hounds and the Freelancers have been trying to recruit some new players and I’ve heard a few signings have happened but not in time for this game. Hounds making some progress up centerfield but the Freelancers defense is preventing any advance toward the goal. Wukong showing some agility with a steal and a pass to Blackfoot.”
“Blackfoot passes back to Wukong who slams into an unsuspecting Hounds player. If I didn’t know any better I’d think these two are just trying to antagonize their opponents. They need to focus on trying to score...and just like that Ayana steals and passes to Baskerville. Baskerville a bit cocky as he shows off some fancy footwork. Baskerville hops to a platform but Blackfoot kicks it, spinning it around..Baskerville looking like he’s about to lose his lunch..ball is loose!”
“Wukong recovers it, tosses it into the air and propels off of Blackfoot’s shield..wonderful overhead kick! Hounds goalkeeper has no trouble deflecting the shot though and passes back to Ayana. Ayana jukes past Wukong and bashes another member of the Freelancers aside as he heads up the left side!”
“Ayana looking for a chance to score but the Freelancers defense is holding strong. Ayana with no choice but to get rid of the ball rather than risk getting tackled by at least three of the Freelancers! Wukong with an arguably late hit on Ayana..and the ref is calling that one. Wukong has to spend some time in the penalty box.”
“Freelancers have the ball, Blackfoot kicks it off a platform right to a fellow Freelancer, they manage to intimidate Baskerville and kick it back over to Blackfoot. Blackfoot with a headbutt into the goal! Freelancers up 1-0!”
“We’re at the half now. Please welcome your halftime entertainment, pop sensation Kay.Dee!”
“Gotta tell ya folks, still a bit strange watching a concert performs by virtual singers. Hologram technology has come a long way! Anyway, let’s get right back to the action!”
“Both teams have already decided to empty the benches so this is gonna be a chaotic second half! Wukong doesn’t look too happy about being sent to the penalty box earlier and might be looking to take it out on some unlucky opponent!”
“Hounds making their way down the field but we’ve got bodies flying everywhere! Wukong spins between two Hounds players and causes them to crash into each other, steals the ball and goes to pass to Blackfoot. Intercepted by Ayana who slams into a Freelancer before jumping up to a platform. Wukong goes to knock Ayana off but Ayana sees it coming and springs off of Wukong’s shoulders through the air!”
“Ayana fakes a kick but passes, teammate tries to score but it bounces off the goalpost! Ayana with the recovery and instantly takes another shot! It’s good! Hounds are on the board at 1-1!”
“Time is starting to tick down and it’s getting more chaotic out there! Freelancers are playing a little dirty but sometimes that’s the nature of the game! Freelancers with the ball, Blackfoot spinning around the Hounds defense and taking a bit of a long shot. Hounds goalkeeper deflects it and kicks it back out, Wukong through the air with the steal and tries to shoot..NO Ayana there with the save!”
“Ayana in trouble again, looking to pass..OH gets slammed into by both Wukong and Blackfoot, we’ve got a loose ball! Hounds manage to recover for a moment before the Freelancers launch one of their own through the air to steal!”
“Freelancers trying again but the Hounds defense is holding! Hounds have the ball. Ayana using a sizeable frame to knock some Freelancers aside! Ayana with the ball now, passing to Baskerville who actually makes some progress! Baskerville ducking under Wukong and passing!”
“Blackfoot looks to steal but Hounds pass back to Ayana! Ayana baits Wukong into charging and moves, sending Wukong right into a platform! Blackfoot going at Ayana who’s looking for options!”
“Ayana with no choice, passes to an unsuspecting Baskerville! Baskerville with a..somewhat unintentional headbutt but it sends it right into the goal! Hounds are up 2-1 and that’s time!”
“Hounds take this one with a score of 2-1! Someone needs to tell Baskerville he scored a winning goal, after he comes to that is. Thank you all for joining me this afternoon! Next Monday we have The Solis Scarabs Vs The Bureau Behemoths closing out round two!”
“Have a great day everyone!”
Revolution Day Hecaball Exhibition!
Greetings Apricus! Augustine Cornelius Eckerman here, and for the first time I have a co-commentator. Say hello to Mayor Lowell!”
“Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be here. I hope you’ve been enjoying Revolution Week thus far. Tonight we’ve got a special treat for all you Hecaball fans! It’s a special exhibition match involving one player from each team in the league!”
“Please give a warm welcome to Van Marigold, M. Night, BonBon “Bonnie” Bluebell, Talutah "Tally" Silverman, and Jamie Baskerville! Team Cerberus!”
“Now please welcome Lapis Hamelin, Jae Aryl, Auburn, Safyra Draco, and Sunny "Ling-Ling Bang" Wukong! Team Minotaur!”
“Now, this is not a full length game. We’ll only be playing for half the time. If overtime is required it will be played under the one on one rules. That being said, let’s kick this thing off shall we!”
“Cerberus will start with the ball..AND WE’RE OFF! Some nice footwork from Marigold. Bonnie making her way to the outside and she’s pursued by Wukong. Marigold with a pass to Silverman who OH runs straight into Auburn. Auburn with the ball, making her way back to the Cerberus goal. Auburn takes a shot but Night is there to block. Night passes to Baskerville who head up the left side, leaping to one of the platforms.”
“Baskerville is met by Draco and..suddenly passes the ball back to Night before jumping out of the way leaving Draco slightly confused. Night not expecting the pass is caught off guard, Aryl with the steal, shoots and scores! Minotaur up by one!”
“I know I’m new to this but it doesn’t seem like Night’s head is in the game. Marigold admonishing him, trying to get him to snap out of it. Auburn has control of the ball, bouncing off one of the platforms but she’s intercepted in mid-air by Bonnie! Bonnie kicks the ball through the legs of Wukong, passing it to Marigold. Marigold at the Minotaur goal and takes a shot but it’s easily deflected by Hamelin. Hamelin with a pass back to Draco, Draco head up to a platform but it’s spun around by Night! Draco loses control of the ball and Baskerville is there to take advantage.”
“Baskerville making his way down the middle, a nice dodge as he avoid Auburn..though it looked more like a leap made out of fright..Baskerville passes to Silverman who takes a shot, only for it to be kicked away in mid-air by Aryl!”
“Aryl playing aggressor now, practically slamming into Bonnie as he dodges Silverman. Night springs off a platform to position himself in front of the goal. Aryl takes a shot but Marigold leaps out of nowhere to deflect it. Night and Marigold with am exchange of nasty looks there. Enough to cause a slight distraction as Auburn bounces off of Hamelin’s shield. Hamelin using his power to launch Auburn forward, she intercepts the ball and kicks it right into the Cerberus goal! Minotaur up 2-0!”
“Oh dear, it looks like Marigold and Night are in a shoving match now! It’s starting to breakdown as both blame the other for that goal! Bonnie trying to separate the two, pushing Marigold away.”
“Hamelin has control of the ball, Hamelin, Aryl, and Auburn making their way down the field passing back and forth. Aryl takes a shot but it’s deflected by Marigold. Marigold leaps over Auburn and passes to Baskerville. Baskerville has a chance to shoot but Draco is there to try and steal! Baskerville ducks and actually evades Draco as Draco trips up! Baskerville takes a shot and scores! Cerberus is on the board! 2-1! Baskerville looks like he just won the league cup..”
“Strange lad...anyway Cerberus with control as they head down the field, intercepted mid-field by Marigold and Bonnie. Marigold with the steal and the pass. Bonnie ducks Wukong and bounces off a platform, passing to Silverman! Silverman kicks the ball off a platform, bouncing it over to Night. Night shaking his head trying to clear the cobwebs out. Takes a shot but it misses the goal completely. Minotaur has control!”
“Aryl passes to Wukong but Marigold launches himself off Bonnie’s shield and gets the steal! Marigold tosses the ball up for Silverman to land a flipping kick! Silverman scores! We’re tied up at 2-2!”
“Time’s ticking down but it’s Minotaur’s ball! Hamelin has control and dodges past Bonnie, and Night. Hamelin passes to Draco, who kicks to Wukong, Marigold trying to trip her up but Wukong maintains control and kicks to Auburn. Auburn ignoring the obvious pass opportunity and opts to attempt to score! Auburn kicks but it’s blocked by Baskerville! Baskerville with a smug look on his face..until Auburn charges him and he throws his hands up, moving out of the way and passing to Night.”
“Night seems to be distracted by..something and doesn’t see the pass coming. The ball flies right by him and is intercepted by Aryl! Aryl charging forward and slamming into Marigold, the ball is loose! Bonnie goes for it but she gets a platform spun into her by Auburn for her trouble! Wukong bounces off of Hamelin’s shield and gets a kick! IT’S GOOD! TIME’S UP! That’s the game!”
“Team Minotaur wins 3-2!”
“That was one of the most..interesting games of Hecaball I’ve ever seen. Thank you for tuning in to this special exhibition match! We hope you enjoy the rest of Revolution Week! Have a good night folks!”

West Apricus Dwarves Vs Ciar Titans!
“Hello folks, Augustine Cornelius Eckerman here with another exciting Hecaball game! We know you’ve all seen the broadcasts lately but I’d like to assure you that we have top notch security here and your safety is our number one priority.”
“That being said, you may notice President Styles is understandably absent tonight. Along with several other starting players for the Dwarves. We understand President Styles and the Union are hard at work with their regular maintenance as well as Revolution Day preparation.”
“And we’re off! Titans have the ball, Edana charging down center field and doing her best to avoid a few tackle attempted by the Dwarves. Edana passes to Knight who attempts an early game score but it’s deflected by Hamelin. Dwarves have control of the ball now as Myte shows off that explosive style he’s known for. A nice juke as Myte avoids Draco and springboards off a platform, Myte with a mid-air shot but it’s knocked aside by M. Hibiki.”
“K. Hibiki with the ball now, uses Knight’s shield to launch through the air and lands on Edana’s shield for a second launch! Incredible teamwork by the Titans which frankly is not something we see a lot of! K. Hibiki attempts a kick but Hamelin again with the save!”
“Hamelin leaves the goal and heads down the left side, knocks Edana out of the way with a tough looking check, passes to Myte as Myte leaps over M. Hibiki! Myte with that signature style, there’s that tongue out pose the fans love to see! Myte lands and uses some great footwork to get by Knight! Myte makes a kick but it’s deflected by Draco! Hamelin is there to catch the rebound and takes ANOTHER shot but Draco again with the diving block!”
“Draco kicks the ball and ricochets it off a spinning platform all the way to mid-field where it’s caught by Edana! Edana takes a shot but the Dwarves goalkeeper kicks it away!”
“Dwarves are handling themselves fairly well for using what seems to be mostly a second string team! Myte gets control again, slides through the legs of M. Hibiki and jumps over K. Hibiki! Myte with a fantastic summersault pass to Hamelin, Hamelin goes to kick but Edana slams into him at full momentum knocking the ball away! That’s the half!”
“We’re halfway through and the score remains 0-0. Both teams playing exceptionally well tonight. Now, for tonight’s halftime show I’ve got a special treat for you! As a preview of her upcoming performances, being accompanied by the Evergreen Orchestra, please welcome Lye Marigold!”
“Fantastic performance wasn’t it folks! I’ve been told it’s a preview for their upcoming musical "Love in the time of Revolution”. You can purchase tickets at the Evergreen Theater, located in Evergreen Basin! Now back to the game!”
“Dwarves start with the ball, We’ve dropped to three on three at the agreement of both teams. Hamelin has the ball, making his way across the field, stopped by Edana but maintains control of the ball. Great pass between the legs of Edana over to Myte, Myte taking a look around as Knight closes in on him. Myte throwing himself forward and purposely getting Knight to hold up his shield. Myte propels himself off Knight’s shield to land on a platform!”
“Hamelin goes to spin the platform at Myte’s instruction but is knocked out of the way by Draco! Myte attempting to improvise and leaps off the platform, spinning through the air and attempting a shot. Too far away though and it’s easily intercepted by Edana.”
“Team numbers seem to have shifted again as more players from both teams enter the fray. It’s a bit chaotic now as the field fills up. Perhaps that’s what the titans want as they seem a bit more in tune with each other than the second string Dwarves players.”
“Edana dodging a tackle from Myte as she head down the field, passing to M. Hibiki who jukes an attempted steal and passes to K. Hibiki. K. Hibiki takes a shot but Hamelin again showing incredible defense and filed awareness!”
“Hamelin goes to pass but it’s intercepted in mid-air by Draco! Draco takes a shot but Hamelin JUST BARELY makes the dive and knocks it away! Ball is loose! Myte manages to gain control but he’s surrounded by Edana, Knight, and K. Hibiki!”
“Myte though kicks the ball into the air and uses his shield as he jumps and purposely smacks the ball away from the three Titans players!”
“Time starting to tick down as the ball is loose and it’s an all out scramble!” Bodies are flying everywhere, I’m shocked we’re not seeing some penalties for some of these body hits!”
“Looks like Draco has wrestled control of the ball away and wants to make a last minute charge to the goal! She manages to slip by Myte but the Dwarves defensive line is there to meet her! Draco passes with no other choice and it’s Knight who’s there to receive! Knight looking for an opportunity but Myte springs forward with a last ditch effort to tackle! Knight manages to pass right before getting slammed into. M. Hibiki with the ball but Hamelin is there! EDANA OUT OF NOWHERE! Edana just slammed full force into Hamelin, that was an ugly hit! Hamelin crashed and burned against the goalpost.”
“M. Hibiki with a shot! It’s good! AND TIME!”
“Titans win 1-0! Medical staff seem to be attending to Hamelin as Myte and Edana look like they are going to come to blows! Officials are separating the teams and ushering everyone off the field.”
“Well folks not every game is going to be played clean but at the end of the day the Titans take the win 1-0. We’ll update you on the status of Hamelin when we learn more but he seems to be alright.”
“Thanks for joining us everyone! Have a great Revolution Day, and we’ll see you again on Monday for The Cherry Hills Knights Vs The North Apricus Sharks”
