Naturally, in their shared interested to become the greatest hockey player possible, the Czech government and the alternate universe Czech government have delved into the realm of dark magic, no doubt in a very Indiana Jones-esque plotline I may need to write about. There are no differences between the two Petrs, except maybe that the one that came through the portal is dressed in all black, but that feels negligible. Both still lack gold, both are still experiments in super human technology conducted by the Czech government. I guess it'd make sense for them to be so identical if their reasons for creation are the same. That's a bit boring. Speaking of more boring, both Petrs recognize a solemn duty to their nation, so after sharing intel on their respective universes including what has worked and what hasn't (including plots and ploys of course, they both have the relevant security clearance afterall), they both part for they know their purpose still grows nearer to completion.

Prompt 2: My first time through the SHL draft I was a quiet and relatively unknown first gen that slipped in to the second round. My interest and contribution in the league grew over the course of my first player and I even spent a significant amount of time as GM. Going in to the SHL draft as a recreate I was much more well known and even managed to go second overall in the SMJHL draft, but since I was a GM I went 112th overall in the SHL draft as an auto-pick. I have no regrets doing so as it was the right time for me to recreate, but I'm curious where I would've gone in the talent laden S46 draft. Given my track record I think I'd be a safe bet for top 10, but given the number of amazing first gens like Luffy, Seger and Slothface as well as the big name recreates like Evans, O'Koivu, Cloutier and Cannellini I'd be curious to see where a guy like myself would land. I guess we'll never know.
PROMPT 1: Well, uh, first of all, Lias is probably more likely to try to summon himself a hot goth boyfriend than girlfriend if we're being honest (although he never rules anything or anyone out completely). But anyway, that's also probably where it went wrong, because Lias thinks a lot of himself, and while trying to envision the perfect person, he was probably thinking about himself a lot more than he should have been anyway. Awkward. The not-Lias is actually pretty great. He's humble enough to not butt heads with the real Lias, he's about nine inches taller, so when he crushes people it's a lot more devastating. He knows how to cook, and he is very strong and kind, has amazing hair, he's great with kids and animals, he totally has a US driver's license so he doesn't have to get rides from all of his friends when he wants to go places, and oh no Lias is dating himself now isn't he that's what just happened.
I anxiously await my new soulmate as the portal opens, only to quickly be met with disappointment as a hulking Swede in hockey pads steps through. He asks me right away who the best Sven is here, and what does he do? I don't really know how to answer, I'm not really an expert on Svens...anywhere, really. I let him use my computer to do a few quick google searches, where he finds out that he looks REMARKABLY similar to Erik Karlsson. I'm still recovering from the disappointment, so I kind of just point him in the direction of the NHL. He finds a stat sheet for Sven Bartschi and decides that he's found a new arch rival. He thanks me for the help and I watch him leave. I assume he's trying to find Sven Bartschi? I don't really care though, I've gotta try this portal again. These goth girlfriends aren't gonna summon themselves.
My player steps through the portal from the other universe, but looks almost entirely like a different person and has a different name. She calls herself Zoe Watts, and says she's a running back for the Austin Copperheads in the International Simulation Football League. She has no idea how to skate or how to properly use a hockey stick, but does at least share Sarah Burke's love of teal. Were it not for the fact they wear similar team colours and share a similar demeanor, no one would ever know they were essentially the same person from two different dimensions. Neither is particularly better than the other, just different.. almost like fraternal twins. Recognizing their different skill sets, Burke doesn't try to convince Watts to step into her SHL dimension permanently, but does invite her in for a visit. The pair of them have a cup of coffee, share and laugh about the different experiences they've had and what they might do differently were they in the other's shoes, and then Watts goes back home to her home dimension to play out the rest of her football career.
Prompt 1:
Seeing the alternative me, I would 100% beg the alternate me to take me with them. A fresh start would do Senji some good. Being a goalie in this league really takes it toll on you and maybe the alternate other people are pretty decent too. It would do me some good to be able to reestablish myself in the league as a back breaking goal tender that teams will learn to fear. As of right now, I am pretty average. I don't hurt my team but I also do not carry my team. In this alternate universe, my self and alternate me would be able to be our own coaches and get better by just practicing together. The new teams would hopefully have better names and maybe there would be a team in my American city home, Columbus Ohio. We can only hope that the alternate reality fixes these travesties of the current universe.
Magnus wiped his eyes and stared blearily at the blazing orange and blue portal that appeared in front of him. It was shimmering with an unearthly light... and then he saw a hockey stick poke out, followed by a player. The portal faded and without the overpowering light, he could clearly see that the player was... himself! He stood up and examined the other Magnus Liljestrom - clearly, this version of Magnus had come prepared as he wasn't dressed in home clothes, but in his hockey training gear.
As he gazed up at him however, a clear detail emerged. This Magnus had dead eyes... eyes that looked like they had seen far too much, and no longer had a spark in them. With that cold stare, the new Magnus started stepping closer and then used the hockey stick he held to savagely force Magnus to his knees, and then his back. As he raised his stick - and the here-Magnus noticed the sharp blade on the tip - and how it looked more like a scythe - new-Magnus spoke:
"It's nothing personal, I just need your powers to become the best defenceman in the S53 class."
As Melvin peers at not Melvin one of the biggest differences he notices, is well, a little... well not a little difference, but a little something else, if you catch my drift. As recent images have hinted at, Melvin Majestik-Moose has not been shortchanged down south, and has more majesty than just in his name. You could say that Melvin Majestik-Moose's performance when it matters leaves nothing to be desired. Quite indeed, some would argue that his affiliation in the Chinese zodiac is towards the sign of the bull. When other teammates were inquired about it, Anton Harrier, who's more experienced to his presence, simply noted that the first thing that comes to his mind when asked about Melvin would be a Steelix.
However, as Melvin took a peek and the Murder-Moose he found his antlers, both up north and down sound, lacking. It seemed wildly unreal that the Murder-Moose would be the one who isn't quite as well endowed, but between his tiny antlers, and something else, it would make sense that this other Melvin had resorted to murder on so many occasions. The additional differences could be seen in their personalities. Original Melvin appeared as though he gave off 'Every woman wants me, and what I've got' vibes, without him even trying, while the traitor Melvin seemed sad, lonely, and like he spent one too many nights looking at internet ads and buying various devices to assist him. This may have helped him on the field, but it didn't seem as though it actually made him happier. Looking at the pathetic moose that sat before him, Melvin just turned away and left him there, completely out of sorts with fake Melvin's tiny self.
Demon hunter Anton Harrier sits in the middle of the locker room, fiddling with a controller strapped to his arm. Melvin Majestik-Moose enters.
Moose: Oi, Hunter. Hunter: Ah, hey. You remembered to wear pants this time, eh. Moose: THAT WAS JUST ONE TIME! Hunter: Next time you whip that out, I swear I'm gonna assume it's a Mara looking to be expunged from this dimension. Moose: ...What? Hunter: Nevermind. Shouldn't have told you that. Moose: Well, what are you up to? Playing a game on your wrist? Hunter: Oh, uh, no, that's not that. You see...
He smiled a toothy grin.
Hunter: I got this from Alternate Dimension me. Moose: ...What? Hunter: Well, uh, you see - the place I'm living at has some mystical properties that link it to the inter-dimensional Nexus and yadda yadda yadda, I got this thing. Moose: ...Y'know, I think you hit your head on the wall again. Hunter: Look, it's serious stuff. The guy told me it was important. Moose: Well, so how is this alternate you? Hunter: Eh, looks younger but doesn't play hockey for a living. He's like a tech wiz that lives strapped to a wheelchair. Moose: Well, that's just tragic. Hunter: Oh, he said he likes it. Granted, he'd love to have his legs working again, he says he was able to save his dimension with work that he wouldn't have gotten done if it wasn't for the wheelchair. So he gave me this expensive knick-knack that can apparently be used to control demons and have them fight for you. Moose: ...Woah, Woah, hold on. You're not gonna just turn that on right now, are you? Inside team property? Hunter: Hm? Why not? We'd want everyone in the Manhattan organization to be safe, wouldn't we? Moose: Assuming it works, can you imagine what sort of draconian horror you'll spawn in this dimension, Harrier? Hunter: Psh, that's nonsense. I'll have you know that I'm a very careful demon hunter. Besides, are you afraid that we'll have another monster just hanging around here? Moose: ...Oh, you prick. Hunter: That's what she said.

I think one thing that I would change one thing one my player. I think that I would have done more of an even build because right now my defense as a defenseman is kinda poor. I think I would change to more even throughout I think that this player could do more on the defensive side of the puck cuz lately numbers have gone down for me. I hope that this will change in the future as I turn into the best complete player I can be. I think that I can do much better than I have been doing as of late I think that unfortunately it's taking a turn this great year I was having but hopefully it'll turn around last minute.im thinking that this update will help me either one way or the other but I want to get better as a all around defenseman.
