Roshan walks with the two Potts, gazing around at the fields and forests painted in warm colors by the setting sun. He remarks, "It is a lovely view from here."

Gazing outward, past the broken walls he had put up 20 years ago, Arthund nods and says, "Forgot. Forgot how... how pretty it all is."

I recently finished running an original oneshot for some friends, The Reaching Woods. It was a story about a little village surrounded by a big wall and the nearby forest's sudden overgrowth threatening to crush it all. It was also a story about blame and guilt.

Arthund Potts, when we met him, could barely speak at all. Too many years spent drinking and weeping. If he was even conscious he was all grunts and sloppy gestures. The scene above was at the end of the oneshot (okay, eighteenshot), once the party returned from the dark, evil woods.

Following the chilling conclusion of All That's Left's first season, Mac and Layla and their friends find themselves scattered across a divided Los Angeles a year after their successful return to town. Matrix Corp has taken control— "With humanity's best interest in mind"— but with our protagonists' knowledge of Opportunity's destruction and Houston's unexpected fall, they know better than to trust the corporation and its near military-sized security force. Closed district gates separate them from one another and a new threat lurks just outside the city's walls— but resistance is on the rise, and it is only a matter of time before truth comes out.

OKAY, WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THIS

Mentioned I was working on something, this isn't that. But here are some fun facts I found while digging through the WNBA website and doing far too much math!

Years of experience DO count years where a player played on hardship contracts, but NOT a year where a player played no minutes in the W.

The Wings have the most rookies of any current team with 5 (Jaelyn Brown, Lou Lopez Senechal, Jacy Sheldon, Stephanie Soares, and Sevgi Uzun)

To go along with that, the Wings have the least years of experience between all of their players---35 years between them. The Fever is second-last with 38.

The team with the MOST experience is the Sun with 71 years total (thanks to the vets that Alexis Morris wanted to 'hang it up')

The Sky have half of all 4th year players in the league currently

Alysha Clark is the only 12th year player, Courtney Vandersloot is the only 14th year player, DeWanna Bonner is the only 15th year player, and Diana Taurasi is of course the only 20th (!!) year player

Much more detailed info & stats (plus a couple of my observations) under the cut bc I don't need to be the WNBA color of the sky post

Most experienced player on each team:

Mercury: Diana Taurasi (19 years of experience)

Sun: DeWanna Bonner (14)

Liberty: Courtney Vandersloot (13)

Aces: Alysha Clark (11)

Lynx: Kayla McBride (10)

Sparks: Layshia Clarendon (10)

Mystics: Stefanie Dolson (10)

Wings: Natasha Howard (10)

Sky: Elizabeth Williams (9)

Fever: Damiras Dantas & Erica Wheeler (both 8)

Total Experience Years:

Storm: 56

Dream: 60

Sky : 46

Sun: 71

Fever: 38

Liberty: 52

Mystics: 48

Wings: 35

Aces: 65

Sparks: 46

Lynx: 45

Mercury: 65

Most of each experience group:

Most 8th Year Players: Dream, Sun, Liberty, Mystics (2)

3rd Year: 16

4th Year: 6

5th Year: 8

6th Year: 18

7th Year: 12

8th Year: 9

9th Year: 12

10th Year: 7

11th Year: 6

12th Year: 1 (Alysha Clark)

13th Year: 2 (Nneka Ogwumike, Tina Charles)

14th Year: 1 (Courtney Vandersloot)

15th Year: 1 (DeWanna Bonner)

20th Year: 1 (Diana Taurasi)

I'm hypothesizing the drop for 4th year and 5th year players is because of COVID. It's interesting that there's the same number of 4th year players and 11th year players.

The Lucky Covid 4th Year WNBA Survivors:

Chennedy Carter (Sky)

Dana Evans (Sky)

Michaela Onyenwere (Sky)

DiJonai Carrington (Sun)

Temi Fagbenle* (Fever)

Aari McDonald (Sparks)

*Temi wasn't drafted in 2020 or 2021, but she does have 3 years of experience so she's part of this category. She was drafted 35th overall in the 2016 draft.
