Been a while! Things are fairly lowkey right now, but I'm planning to keep this blog updated a bit more actively in the near future.

My favorite athletes <3

Wait, is the sun up?! A thought turned to panic. I need to be at the Survival Stadium by dawn! I’m late! There was no time to check a clock or a phone. Sea jumped off the bed, slapped on their uniform and sprinted out of their Kinikolu suite. An elevator was on the same floor, as if it was waiting. Going down the elevator Sea could still imagine stopping on some other floor, dreading how another athlete stumbling in would waste precious moments Sea needed. To the Oceanic’s surprise, the elevator shot straight down to the lobby. Then, outside the elevator door, a barrage of camera flashes nearly blinded Sea. It was hard to make out what every marble said, but most were yelling “journalist” of some sort. Questions were shouted forward, nonstop, intended for “… the latest marble sports champion.”

“The Marbula One roster,” I realized. “I lost sleep trying to figure out why we didn’t at least run Clutter in that.” “I didn’t want to ease into it,” they continued. “That would open the door to walking it back after a discouraging start, and to keep trodding the same worn-down path. I threw Anarchy and Disarray right into the fire.” “And they got torched!” I retorted.

Project Marblearth's first article of the year is out!

Do you ever wonder what happens to coaches after they get fired? Eccentric, citizen journalist and BOC fan, does. That's why they've tracked down ex-BOC coach Harmony to interrogate them on the story behind their departure from the team. And as it turns out, things aren't always as they seem...

Big news- we're getting very close to 300 works on the tag!

All four Green Ducks filtered tentatively out from the backstage and onto the pitch, drowned out by the flinging of insults and unnoticed by either party. As they snuck past, they were able to draw surprisingly close, becoming party to the heated disagreement.  “It doesn’t even matter what you say, because when Quickly gets ahold of you, Velocity, you’re probably getting booted out anyway,” laughed Yellow Eye, a meaner, crooked version of the crowd-pleasing giggle they trotted out during interviews.  “You don’t know anything. Me and coach are cool, yeah? Anyway, I bet it’s your fault somehow, ‘cause I was cracked during training,” retorted Velocity, apparently at ease with the misfire that had stunned their fan crowd into silence.  “We’re allergic to the fur you get everywhere,” Swifty added.

Project Marblearth's second ML Memo for ML24 has been released!
