“Heroes come in many forms. Some have vision, some have grace, and some have strength. But only a
few
shall become legends.”
Days turned to weeks, turned to months, turned to years. So much so, that Papi had lost track of the
passing of time. He could no longer remember exactly how he got here anymore. Papi's mind wandered
to
the first time he explored Runeterra. From the gleaming city of Demacia to the gaping maw of the
Void,
he faced trial and error. The harder he fought just made it seem more like an endless battle.
Climbing
that ladder through divisions unknown to him, slowly but surely, he was awarded a set of armor to
protect him from this dangerous land.
He remembered how frail the bronze armor was, but he wore it with pride. It was his achievement,
after
all. In time he would rise in the mornings after staggering victories to see his armor had upgraded.
Silver? The shine was empowering and made the previous bronze seem dull. This had to be it. This was
the
way out, wasn't it?
'The only way out,' Papi thought to himself, 'is up.'
He had no guidance. It was his duty, like many other summoners trapped in the Rift, to find his
own way out. Everyone was carving their own path to victory. Their own path upward. With each
victory
and each defeat; With each passing day things seemed… different. His nose had always been this
long…
right?
He can remember the first time he admired his whiskers in a puddle of muck in the city
underbelly
like it was yesterday. The shinier his armor got, the more menacing he became. Gold, platinum,
diamond…
When would he reach the top? Was there a top? Was there actually a way to get home when he got
there?
Papi didn't know. He just knew he had to go forward.
Each new division brought new challenges to Papi. He was forced to learn new roles and new tactics
for
survival. Some came easier than others but with time and effort, 'climbing is always possible' his
inner
voice reminded him- His reminiscing was interrupted and his thought cut short as a now drunk Miss
Fortune he had never met before stumbled into his side. Papi blinked a couple of times trying to
root
his mind back in reality. He had zoned out, and now the menace rat found himself trying to recover.
The
daydream faded away and he realized he was sitting at the bar in the Elo Hell Tavern on the docks of
Bilgewater. His nose crinkled as Miss Fortune spilled mead on his freshly laundered suit. At first,
he
wanted to be angry. But at a second glance, Papi's eyes would soften. He recognized the look on her
face. She was on the verge of tears before she began blubbering at him. "I'm… I'm going to be stuck
here
forever, aren't I? I'm never going to see my friends or… family again. I don't even know how I got
here."
His heart went out to her. He remembered what that was like. With a sigh, he offered her a rat-like
hand
holding a business card. At first, she looked skeptical as if he were trying to trick her but Papi
was
all too familiar with that reaction. "If you seek knowledge and aid, I can provide you with my
services." He cracked a toothy smile which actually seemed to make it worse. But at least she took
the
card.
"Services…? What are you talking about?" Miss Fortune spoke as she turned the card over to read the
text. Papi silently smiled as she would come to answer her own question. "Elo Boosting and Coaching.
Join the movement." she said, before meeting his eyes once more. "What's the movement?" Again, he
smiled
a toothy grin before he spoke. "If you follow me, I can show you. It's hard to explain otherwise."
Miss Fortune was skeptical to say the least. It was blatantly obvious she didn't know if she could
trust
him, but they weren't in lane. How much harm could he possibly mean? After thinking it over for a
moment, she nodded.
It wasn't long until the two of them set off to what Papi would refer to as The Undercity. Miss
Fortune,
now sobering up, would follow quietly. Once he approached what looked to be a large steel door
heading
down into the sewers a loud clanking could be heard. He stopped briefly until the door opened,
nodding
to MF as he waited. The corridor beyond was dark and dingy, but Papi wasn't afraid. Quite the
opposite,
actually and she would soon see why. Once inside the entryway a Nunu riding a rather festive looking
Willump stepped out of the shadows. He was obviously the something that opened the door.
"Heya bossman!" Nunu extended his child-like arm into the air, receiving a high five from Papi
before
Willump did an excited little jig. They looked genuinely happy to see him and that would put her at
ease.
Shortly after making their way down a few flights of stairs and empty corridors, the dingy
atmosphere
would brighten as would the room before them. Lights had been strung up all through the ceiling
rafters
haphazardly. What had once seemed to be dungeon-like stone walls were cleaned and decorated nicely.
The
hall was filled with a roaring fireplace, comfortable furniture, and a table full of food. The
amount of
people gathered here was impressive. Casual conversations mingled with the sound of practice dummies
down the hall. Miss Fortune found herself admiring a rather lovely painting of the ocean before Papi
chuckled. "If you like the decor, you should tell Moxie. It would make her day. She is the community
advisor and unofficial decorator, over there. She can also answer any questions you may have and
point
you in the right direction."
She nodded at Papi, following the direction of his pointing to a bouncy KDA Ahri who was currently
fawning over a Lulu's Star Guardian outfit. It wouldn't take but a second for Moxie to jog over.
"Papi!
You're just in time. Cherry won't get out of the bushes out back. He keeps whispering that he needs
to
focus on hunting, all because Nerristo brought out a laser pointer and wouldn't-" Moxie cut herself
off
once she noticed Miss Fortune standing bashful behind Papi. Moxie peeked behind Papi and waved
excitedly
at her possibly new friend. “Oh, you shouldn’t have, Papi. Just what I always wanted. How did you
know?”
Miss Fortune could tell that Moxie was friendly and joking with a welcoming demeanor. Before he
could
respond, Moxie gave him a hug and pushed past him to greet the new visitor.
“Hi there! I’m Moxie! What’s your name?” Moxie spoke as she extended her hand to Miss Fortune for a
handshake. “Uh… BotMeepSquad, but you can call me Meeps.” Moxie giggled. “I love your name. I’m
kinda
jealous.” Moxie waved her hand to dismiss her own statement before continuing. “But never mind that.
How
have you been holding up out there? It’s pretty brutal. Most of us… I don't really remember our
lives.
Before the Rift, I mean…” For a moment, Moxie looked incredibly serious before glancing over at
Meeps,
waiting for a response.
“Yeah… I don’t remember much, either. It all blends together and the only thing that really stands
out
to me is trying to climb out of here. I’m struggling. I know I can do better but I get upset and
stressed out. How can I play a team game if I can’t depend on my team? How can I get better if-”
Moxie
began to speak again, cutting off Meeps. “-if there is no one to show you and no setting for you to
explore your mistakes and try new things comfortably. Yeah, I know.”
The two of them looked down at the ground simultaneously. It was evident they both felt the same way
about the situation. Frustration and possibly even a bit hopeless at their situations. Being trapped
in
more ways than one, was entirely uncomfortable. It removed what little enjoyment they could have in
the
game they loved.
It wasn’t long before Moxie spoke again. “That’s why I’m here, honestly. That’s why we’re all here.”
She
gestured to the grand hall full of various champions. “Not only do people need friends, but we need
help
sometimes. We’re hoping that once we climb…” Moxie cut herself off now. She seemed sad. Meeps would
finish her statement for her, just as Moxie had done earlier. “We can get out of here.” Moxie nodded
slowly. “I miss my cats… Zero and Frankie.”
After a long pause, Meeps felt comfortable enough to keep asking. He didn’t want to upset Moxie,
after
all. “Well, we don’t know how to get out but you’re getting closer! How has being here helped? Tell
me
about it. Then tell me about your cats! They sound awesome” Meeps smiled, happy when Moxie seemed to
perk back up. “Oh! I made lots of friends here. Cherry and Arcane and Papi and Nerristo… I’ve had
lots
of Coaching too. That’s part of what they do. Because of their Coaching I was able to get back into
platinum. I’m hoping to get through diamond, too. Aside from that, they offer Elo Boosting and
tournaments to test your skills in an environment free of toxicity. I like it here quite a bit.”
Meeps looked rather interested. “Elo Boosting? Coaching? Can you tell me a little more about them? I
don’t know what Elo Boosting is and I don’t know how Coaching would work in League.”
Moxie nodded excitedly. “Yeah, sure! Well first off, Elo Boosting is where you either play with
someone
or let someone use your account to move you up in the ranks. It puts you with teams of people that
have
higher Elo. Elo itself is where you are given a hidden score by Riot and it determines who you play
with. They can also get you out of losers que, since a few bad games or toxic trolls can leave you
struggling in solo que where you didn’t before. Coaching is what I get pretty routinely from
Cherry,”
Moxie continued. “Him and Arcane help me a lot in learning where to be, when to rotate to different
objectives, and when to roam. Sometimes when I use the wrong runes, they help me fix them and it
makes
me laugh. Sometimes they can’t believe I won anything playing like that and it makes me laugh. But
I’m
happy they’re really nice about it. There’s a lot more to this game than I originally thought."
Meeps nodded understandably. "Yeah, there really is. I'm just so… tired. Of this. All of this."
Meeps gestured all around the pair of them. "Hm… maybe I do need a break. Maybe Elo Boosting would
be right for me."
"Would you want to play with someone during your Elo Boosting order? Or did you want them to do it
for you?"
Moxie took her time to sit at a table, pulling over a plate with a piece of bread and cheese before
offering it to Meeps, waiting for them to answer.
"Hm… I'm not really sure. I feel like that would be viable for me but I also want to learn. Maybe I
could be coached and if I can't pull myself out of this rut without it, I'll have to focus on Elo
Boosting."
Moxie nodded. "Well, there are plenty of wanting and ready faces here to help. I remember when it
was
just Papi and a handful of other people trying to make their mark on the world. But all their hard
work
and dedication brought us here. The services he offers were built on his blood, sweat, and tears.
We're
like a family now, honestly. I don't think anything can tear that apart." Moxie smiled warmly at
Meeps.
"I don't know you too well yet but I'm a pretty good judge of character. There's a spot here for
you, if
you want."
Meeps returned Moxie's welcoming smile. "I'd be honored. You can help me set up for that Elo
Boosting
order and
introduce me to people. I can pick one out when I'm comfortable."
It was with this they would continue to move forward. Papi and the team started from nothing, just
as
Moxie told Meeps. It was a desolate and hopeless place. In building this community, he built trust
