Curly invited Pack to Green Bay for a taste of his city (both figurativly and literally) before their first season..and it turns out it hits Pack really close to his childhood and his old home.
It also a starting point to a lore for the team.
GO PACK GO!
March 19 1921; Green Bay...
Pack looked out the window of the bus being driven by Curly, who was smiling so much it looked like his face could break from smiling.
Curly Lambeau: Thank goodness for the clear weather! I couldn't wait till the spring, I just had to show you Green Bay! So, What do you think of our city?
Pack looked on in awe at the river they were driving by.
Pack: *awe* It's, Wow...so that's-Fox river?
Curly Lambeau: YEP! Take it you've been reading over the map?
Pack: *nods* Yeah, since the whole snow storm fiasco with Spot, Liberty agreed with Woodrow to have us memorize the maps. Especially those who have teams.
Curly Lambeau: Very good idea. Have not met you yet but hearing what happened to that lil spot, sent shivers up my spine. Let me tell you how relieved I was when I heard he was going to be okay.
Pack smiled as he looked out once again.
.
.
Curly parked the car as the two came out.
Curly Lambeau: Welcome to Hagemeister Park, our stadium!-For now.
Pack turned fast at that, confused.
Pack: For now?
Curly Lambeau: Yeah there are plans for there to be a school built on here. We are of course in full support for having more education for our kids here. Sure we will find another stomping grounds for the team before hand.
Pack nodded as the two looked around. It was a very lovely city, and he was loving the urban area. Taking a breath he took in the smell of the ending winter, greenery and-another odd one.
Pack: Hey Curly? What's that smell its-how do i describe it, good.
Curly Lambeau: *beaming* Ah! That's cheese! The staple of our state is our production of cheese.
Pack: A food industry state, very interesting. Beast has been telling us all about the foods on this planet with those cook books he got. What kind of cheese do you guys make?
Curly Lambeau: *beaming* Yes.
Pack starred...then he laughed nodding.
Pack: Okay so, you guys do them all. Good to know...So, mind if I sample one since I'm going to be working here. You must know alot of good places-
Curly, to Pack's surprise, picked him up and basically carried him to the closet food store running.
.
.
Pack: *shock;sitting* That man manage to carry me all the way here like he was running to the end zone. DANG WHAT FEROCITY.
Pack looked around the bakery, still in awe at what Curly did as the man was at the counter. He took a breath, taking in the smells of baked goods in the air.
Pack: Man, so good.
Curly Lambeau: *carrying two plates* Here we go!
Curly placed a plate with a triangle dessert on it in front of Pack. It was simple, a light yellow color with a white drizzle over it. The smell wafting from it was incredible.
Curly Lambeau: *sits down* They only had vanilla today, hope you like it.
Pack looked over at the dessert in curiosity.
Pack: Um, what dessert is this? Is it cheese based?
Curly smiled warmed, knowing Pack was trying to learn about their state and wanting try/know this.
Curly Lambeau: It is, in the name too. It's called cheesecake. It's a dessert made with soft fresh cheese, the crust and base comes in various forms from crushed cookies to sponge cake. It also can come in many differnt flavors and toppings.
Pack looked at the treat, before grabbing a fork and taking a bit out of it. Curly smiled as did Pack but-
Curly Lambeau: *concern* Pack, buddy you alright.
Pack looked up seeing Curly in concern, feeling something on his face. He touched his face, before taking his hand back seeing it reflect.
Curly Lambeau: *Concern* Pack, something wrong?
Pack: Yeah but-I don't know why I'm crying.
Curly took a moment..then he nodded with a small smile.
Curly Lambeau: Maybe you thought of something nostalgic eating that. Must be a very good one to make that reaction.
Pack nodded, closing his eyes.
Pack: Just-it's soft, the flavor is so smooth and gentle. That smell, you said that is vanilla? First time smelling it and it's-
The tears started to fall faster as formed a weak smile.
Pack: I don't know why but-that smell reminds me of my old home before...
He took a raspy sigh as he tried to wipe his eyes-when he opened them he saw a napkin in a hand. Seeing that it was not Curly, he turned to the side seeing a young man on the cusp of adulthood.
Man: You look like you need this. Sorry if it feels rough, closet thing I had.
Pack smile strengthen a bit as he took it, wiping his eyes free from tears at last.
Pack: Thanks I needed that.
Curly Lambeau: *to the man* Gotta say I'm happy to see you here Fee. I had no idea cheesecake could do that.
Pack blinked at the man, who smiled at him warmly.
Pack: *to the two* You two friends?
Fee Klaus: He's my technically also my boss and the Halfback of the team. *brings a chair over; sits* My name is Feryl Klaus, call me Fee for short. I play center for the team.
Pack: *Smile grows* Nice to meet you Fee, looking forward to seeing you in action when football season comes again.
Fee Klaus: And I'm looking forward to working with you Pack. Mind telling me what was wrong, you were crying.
Pack: Just-you guys food here made me fell nostalgic, made me think of home.
Curly Lambeau: *worried* Are you going to be okay? Sorry if I-
Pack: No no, you did nothing wrong. To be honest I-I feel at comfortable here. I really wanted to see the city I was going to be in during the season and-going to be honest I was worried about how it would all go.
Curly Lambeau: *small chuckle* Same on my end if I'm being honest.
Fee Klaus: *smirks* You worried about something, that's a rarity.
Curly Lambeau: Well I love this place, i want to make sure this city gets the attention it and the people living here deserves. I gotta make sure we get our place in this league now that we're in, I'll do anything to keep us and honor this team no matter how many times I might need to but heads with Joseph!
Fee Klaus: *shakes his head* Can we try not to butt heads with the now president of the league. Last thing I and the others want is being in hot water.
Pack:-*Smirks* Can't be hot of you got a walking freezer on you team.
Both turned fast seeing Pack smirk, and that smirk got them both laughing.
Curly Lambeau: *laughing* OKAY, gonna be honest that smirk is both hilarious and terrifying!
Fee Klaus: *laughing* I MEAN WOW! GO PACK GO!
Pack beamed at this while Curly pondered at what Fee said.
Curly Lambeau thoughts: Go Pack Go...nice ring there. Would like that to catch on here for the team.
.
.
From afar, a man overheard the conversation and mused.
Eric Karil: Go, Pack, go...hmmm. That's, a very good ring there.
Eric wrote it down on his napkin and decided to go back on this line on a later date, once the team was stable.
Keep Eric Karil in mind, that man's going to be the mind behind a certain fight song ;).
