Prompt 2

That can't be right. Brows furrowed, Tiberius Kane's eyes show no trace of recognition of the words being spoken to him right now. He was deep in thought the moment he heard the culprit was the mascot. Normally a trivial matter, but this time is different. Tiberius Kane is, after all, the team's mascot. Nevermind the question of "why", because the fact is that he hadn't done it to himself. This thing goes all the way to the top, but Kane is himself "the top". Noticing his lack of attention, the equipment manager snaps a finger to jolt Kane awake.
"You listening?"

"No", Kane replied.

"Well, as I was saying..." and the words again fell mute before him. Kane's eyes drifted again, unfocused and seeking answers they would not find.

Before he knew it, the equipment manager was gone, apparently frustrated at Kane's lack of attention. That was okay, Kane had more important matters to attend to, like figuring out why he had duct taped his own equipment and did not remember it.

Unbeknownst to him, trio of players in the corner watched, giggling to themselves.
