Danny adjusted the fake moustache for the fifth time since the PR rep had stuck it to his upper lip in the makeup trailer. He vaguely registers how his scalp itches under the wig that doesn't quite fit on his head. With one more adjustment to his tie and ill-fitting suit jacket (seriously, where did they buy this thing?!), he stepped into the press room and took a seat near the back of the room. No one paid him much mind, but the reporter from the Toronto Sun made eye contact and giggled.

After but a few moments, they ushered out Ryosuke Sato for the Captain's press conference. Toronto's been on a relative hot streak and it's garnering quite a bit of attention. Most of the press questions are typical and serious; "How has the culture shifted?" "Will there be changes moving forward?" "Speculation on --- rumors about ---?" Sato's press training has him giving the normal, tasteful answers.

"We'll take one more," the rep says all too quickly. It's Danny's time to shine.

"Mr. Sato, what are your thoughts on the emote and meme game in the Toronto Group Chat?"

"What," he grunts, caught off guard.

"Who has the best emotes and memes in the North Stars locker room chat?"

At this point, Ryosuke is straining to see the back of the room. When he spots Danny, he breaks into a grin.

"Better question is, who hooked you up with that get-up, Dan?" he counters good-naturedly. Danny is all too quick at that point to take the wig off as the gathered press turns with their cameras and recorders. There are a few scattered chuckles.

"To answer the question, it's Carpy."

"It's always Carpy," Danny agreed. There's going to be a picture of Danny with a fake black mustache, baggy and wrinkled puce sport jacket, and a matching tie over his North Stars workout gear floating around the Internet for the rest of time.
