After the Great Fire Catastrophe, life did what it does best— dragged us into the treacherous, responsibility-riddled waters of adulthood.
Louie, once the proud guardian of holographic superheroes, traded his binders for dispatch boards and delivery routes. Landlubbers call it being a Professional Transportation Dispatcher — we call him the Master of Freight and Flow. He coordinated fleets, optimized cargo, and occasionally stared into the distance, daydreaming about Rogue’s power stats and spreadsheeting between the "transportation log".
Alex, meanwhile, swapped his duel disk for dress shoes (yes, real ones — not Vans) and joined the high-flying world of travel as a Customer Safety & Transportation Specialist. He rerouted frustrated passengers, upheld airline safety protocols, and maintained a cool head — all while suppressing the urge to sleeve something.
But after hours? He dove headfirst into spreadsheets, stock charts, and late-night finance podcasts, becoming a part-time venture capitalist and full-time binder gremlin. From Wall Street trends to sketchy start-ups with names like ZapCoin, he chased opportunity like it was a misprinted Charizard.
We tried to blend in — truly. We paid bills. Bought ergonomic chairs. Pretended Excel was just as fun as a sideboard strategy. But deep down, we knew:
We weren’t built for cubicles. Or cargo logs. We were made for cardboard. For chaos. For the thrill of a freshly ripped pack. And it wasn’t long before fate stepped in — Or more accurately, a fateful pint at an Irish pub — to remind us who we truly were:
Collectors. Brothers. Pirates of the Trading Card Game seas.
