The Grizzlies look great! Diggins seems to be quite the character, and not submitting gold because he was distracted by TV feels like something so uniquely stupid that it wraps around to being believable.

     Good morning, I made some coffee if you want it. --- Well, that is incredibly rude. Why did you spit it out? – It tastes like heated up Coke? Great palette, Sherlock, that’s what coffee is here. – Let me get this straight. In your dimension you people put hot water through beans and drink it? Is bean soup your breakfast? – I threw up a little in my mouth from the thought of that. Let’s move on. Where were we? Ah yes, the most mysterious team in the league.
 
LAS VEGAS FLAMINGOS

     I wish I had a story about this team’s owner, but all anyone has ever heard is Zamboni calling him “Bug Seagull”, or something like that. A real stupid name if you ask me. There are speculations about the guy that fly around. My favored one is that he is too ugly to show his face. Whatever the story is, we might never know.
 

     The team has a mixed bag of reviews when it comes to identity. The fact that they have a mascot that shows no aggression sets some people off, but it’s the use of pink that pushes them over the edge. Fans of rival teams have been heard calling them “soft boys”, saying that “girly colors don’t belong in my sport”. Personally, I don’t think they are comfortable with their own masculinity. The Flamingos are named after the fabulous place that hosts their games, the Flamingo Hotel. Sure, the city is odd due to a smaller population, but they fit right in as a main attraction to aid the aspiring city’s tourist boom. The colors are inspired by a casino chip from the Flamingo, and the jerseys were constructed to balance this odd mix as much as possible.
 
     The Flamingos are led by 5’9” (or 6’1” if the count the hair), Anastasio Moran. The 25-year-old is another one of many New York natives bringing their talents to the WCEHL, looking for better opportunity as the NHL stalls in growth. Moran is extremely talented, but his attitude matches that of his club. He is loud, wise cracking and scrappy when his head gets hot, and that happens often. Anastasio is partnered with a cool-headed veteran named Barry Peterson. The 34-year-old Indiana product created the perfect balance for his better half, acting as a mentor to Moran.
 
     Yea, I know. I am just as confused about this team and it is my own universe. – It’s best not to think about it. Return to sipping on your hot bean juice, you freak.
 
 
Credits roll, but don’t leave yet.

(The scene shifts to an unfamiliar environment, or is it very familiar? We are in our own world (let’s call it “True Earth”). The room seen is one filled with too much Boston for the narrator’s taste, but to each their own. There is an individual at a desk banging their head against the keyboard. With every drop of the head the computer monitor can be seen. On the screen is, what looks like, a boardhost site with the user “Darknes” logged in.)
 
(The headbanging stops.)
     
 
     Darknes
“This isn’t even a mystery anymore. It is quite obviously Bugsy----”
 
(A flash occurs and everything turns to black. Darknes wakes up dazed in a dark room full of smoke. A shadow outlining a man walks up to them.)
 
     Darknes
“Are – are you Bugsy Siegel?”
 
     The Shadow
“Look at dat boys, we’s got a wise guy. Whossa eva name their child dat? No, I’m Bugles Seagull, the most feared Italian in ze town, badda-bing.”
 
(Darknes, knew what was in front of them had to be Bugsy Siegel, due to their extensive knowledge of history.)
 
     Darknes
“What year is it? Where am I”
 
     Bugles Seagull
“Lissen, one more crack out of yousse and I’ll has ya sleeping with da fishes, capisce? Nows I don’t know hows yousse got in my office, but that takes some guts, kid, and I admires that. I thinks you could fit in here at the Flamingo. Whats yousse think?”
 
(Bugels reaches out a hand, offering it to Darknes to help stand them up.)
 
(It is all coming together for Darknes, as their eyes dart around the room. The obvious Siegel calling himself Seagull, the overly exaggerated Italian accent, the Flamingo, oh no, the Flamingo. Darknes takes the hand of Bugles and as they are lifted they spot a peak through a window that gives a clear view to – an ice surface. It could not be, but it was. A banner is seen in the rafters that depicts a flamingo with text under it that reads “Las Vegas Flamingos, Est. 1953”.)
 
     The innocent exchange of one offering a hand to help another up. Common courtesy in most cases, but a different story this time. – The mysteries of the world reached out, offering a hand to an unsuspecting victim, pulling them into the unknown and creating more questions than answers. This was not our world, though. Darknes has taken the journey into the – Twilight Zone.
 
(Cue Stranger Things outro theme.)

His death was faked.

He didn't die. He was abducted by aliens

 
So that’s why they stormed Area 51...
