Marlins Will Soar -- Scott Stapp [Creed]

truly incredible [awful] stuff here. at several points he just lists baseball things. did the marlins want this? was it commissioned or done on spec or just for the love of the game?

[sleepyfins]

🐟🌊🐟 / 🌊🐟🌊 / 🐟🌊🐟

Flying fish are an awesome kind of fish that can soar and skip above the water! They fly to escape from predators like tuna, swordfish and marlin, as their "wings" let them glide.

It is really cool that their fins let them do this, but it makes them an easy target for sea birds, like Frigate Birds. They can't escape bullying either way. Rude.

I've seen one in person too!!

[gruesome-beauty]

Their secret talents. Part Two

GUSTAFA - MIMICRY

It was the beginning of a new season, which meant you were busy planting seeds. Gustafa had been at the field’s edge keeping you company, but he drifted away as you became absorbed in work. You splashed water over the last of the planted seeds. You heard both sheep bleating as you wiped the sweat from your brow. The duet gave you pause. You only owned one sheep, and the new one won’t arrive until tomorrow. Confused, you spun around to observe your livestock. 

“That’s you?” you asked Gustafa as he perfectly replicated your sheep’s baa back to him. 

“Yeah, pretty groovy, isn’t it?” the musician smiled. 

“What else can you do?” 

You spent the rest of your day following Gustafa in awe. He could mimic your cow, horse, and dog on your farm. Gustafa replicated the chirps of songbirds, the hoot of an owl, and the angry cries of seagulls. When you asked if it was only animals, Gustafa demonstrated his repertoire of phone notifications. 

“Can you sound like me?” 

“Ah, no. I can’t do people’s voices,” Gustafa watched as your excitement slipped. He smiled gently and offered you another nugget, “I can copy accents pretty well, though.”

LUMINA - SLEIGHT OF HAND

“Your hands are so attractive,” you observed as you sat beside Lumina on the piano bench. “They’re just so nimble and graceful over the keys.” 

The young woman giggled before asking, “Would you like to see something different?” 

When you nodded, the elegant Lumina led you from the piano and upstairs to her bedroom. Your eyebrow raised in curiosity as Lumina locked the door behind the two of you. She guided you to a seat before crawling beneath her bed and pulling out an old case. Her brown eyes fixed on yours as Lumina tossed her long hair back over her shoulder. 

“You can’t tell Aunt Romana,” she swore you to secrecy before instructing you to close your eyes. “Okay, you can open them.” 

As you blinked your eyes open, you could see that Lumina now wore a black cape around her shoulders. She hesitated only a moment before leaning toward you to pull a coin from your ear. At your applause, the young woman’s confidence soared. She next pulled a stream of colorful squares from her empty hands. You sat enthralled as Lumina showed multiple card tricks. She gave an awkward half-bow as she finished, and you applauded.

“That was astounding! Why can’t Romana know?” 

“She didn’t like it when I was younger. Magic and sleight of hand was a hobby of my dad’s, and I think it made her sad to think of my parents,” Lumina explained. 

You intently listened as she recounted sneaking around with Rock to purchase the materials from Van. Lumina was excited to tell you about holding Rock’s parents and Sebastian captive to show the tricks as she learned them. Her eyes widened in shock when you encased her in a hug as Lumina gushed about having something to connect her with both her parents.

MARLIN/MATTHEW - WHITTLING

“What’s that?” you asked, peering over Matthew’s shoulder. 

Matthew jumped at your words, thankfully avoiding knicking himself with the blade he held. The wooden figure in his hand almost looked like an apple. Unlike the apples on your farm, his had tiny little nubs for hands and feet. 

“It’s a Pomme Pomme,” the man mumbled. 

“I’m not familiar with that. What is it?” you asked. 

When you lingered, smiling, Matthew sighed and explained more. He and his friends used to play a fantasy tabletop role-playing game in the city called Rune Factory. Matthew made the monsters for their boards before he moved. The group was starting a new campaign and reached out to him for some of the lower-level monsters. Pomme Pomme was such a monster that looked like an abnormally large apple. 

“You carve all of them? Where did you learn that?” you gently pressed. 

“I learned from our grandpa. He used to make all sorts of animals,” Matthew explained. “It keeps my hands busy, so I like it.” 

You couldn’t stop the smile that spread across your face as Matthew reminisced stories of his youth. It was always pleasant to get Matthew talking about himself and his interests. When he finished telling you about the last campaign he played with his friends, the man shifted to lecturing you about how late it had gotten. 

“Could you show me some of the others you have before you walk me home?” 

The brunette man grumbled about you neglecting your farm to hang around but showed you inside. His ears turned pink as you praised the carved and painted figures, asking for details about each monster.

NAMI - FORGERY

“What’s going on?” Nami asked. 

Her voice caused you to glance over from frowning at the ledger. You had finally saved enough to add new facilities. Then, while Takakura was sick, you had the brilliant idea to fix the roof yourself after a typhoon. Now, with your dominant hand cast and hanging from a sling, you couldn’t sign off on the new building. 

“I just can’t sign for anything like this,” you lamented, waving at your arm.  

“Oh, is that all?” 

The redhead walked over to flip through the ledger, viewing past orders and signatures. After looking the writing over, Nami borrowed a pen and some scrap paper to replicate your signature. Your jaw dropped in shock at the exact match. If you hadn’t watched Nami sign your name, you wouldn’t have believed it to be anything other than your own. 

“How did you do that?” 

“My dad worked a lot, and if I wanted to go on school trips, I needed to be able to sign the forms. So, I learned how to forge his signature, and then friends wanted me to copy theirs,” Nami shrugged. 

“That’s amazing,” you muttered. 

With this, you could easily get the facilities, and the farm could grow while you recovered. And yet, your conscience nagged at you. You sighed before telling Nami you appreciated it but couldn’t deceive Takakura in such a way. The young woman nodded in understanding before offering a solution. 

“Thank you again, Nami. You’re a lifesaver,” you gushed over the ledger. Takakura’s neat, tiny script confirmed the order of a new facility via verbal confirmation. Nami’s signature stood proudly next to his own, certifying that a third party had witnessed the process. 

“It’s not that big of a deal,” she flushed.

ROCK - LIMBO SKATING

“Ugh, I’m so bored!” Rock whined next to you. 

For once, you couldn’t disagree with the blonde. Your meager supply of board games and the television had kept you and the young man occupied yesterday. After playing and replaying the games and the shows circling on an endless repeat of classics you had both seen a hundred times, nothing held appeal. Thinking of this being your entire season made you shiver in fear.

“Let’s make a trip to the city! It’s still early that we could return before it’s too late.”  

The idea immediately perked up your companion. Rock excitedly talked about everything the city offered for entertainment as the two of you bundled up to head out. As you crossed the mountain, you had the perfect idea. You would take Rock to do one of your favorite things while you lived in the city. He didn’t like not being in on the surprise. After numerous attempts and pouting, Rock perked up some when you promised he could pick a place to eat. 

“Here we are!” you proudly stated outside the roller rink. 

“Awesome! I haven’t done this in forever! Try not to be too jealous when I skate circles around you,” he smirked. 

You had expected Rock to be bluffing about his talent. That assumption had never been more wrong. As Rock breezed past you again, you slowly glided along the polished wood panels. The blonde could effortlessly weave through the crowd while going backward. An announcement came over the speakers asking people to exit, and you grabbed at Rock’s arm as he passed you again.  

“What is it?” 

“They said to get out of the rink unless you’re participating in limbo.” 

“Oh, watch me win then,” Rock winked before rolling from your reach. You watched in awe as the bar dipped lower and lower to the ground. Eventually, Rock stood against one other competitor. The young man flashed you a brilliant smile before lowering himself into a split, his face mere inches from the floor as he rolled beneath the pole. 

“That was amazing!” 

“Hahaha, yeah! You should see the other ways I’m flexible.”

[thefourpoints]

Follow the compass East to find harmony.

Alongside the eastern coast, where the waves of the Whipping Sea beat roughly onto the rocky cliffs, lives a peaceful and fun-loving group of cats who never let anyone else shake their faith in each other and themselves.

Are you a lost wanderer, looking for somewhere to call home, but hope to find a place full of love and understanding? The Clowder beckons you East.

At a Glance

Deity: Prosperity/Tugging Current Element / Season: Water, Spring Main Teachings: Harmony and Wisdom Lifestyle: Relaxed and easy-going - the Clowder values peace and positivity Education: Trainees are trained at 8 moons old by the senior members Leadership: Non-traditional monarchy - the title of Watcher of the Rain is usually passed down through the bloodline, but the Clowder isn't strict about it and don't care much for blood "purity" Naming: Two-word system; often words relating to the sea or ocean life; ex: Soaring Auk, Thundering Wave

Territory

Region: The Whipping Sea Camp: Peace Cove Environment: Vast open ocean, beaches (mostly rocky, some sandy), soaring cliffs Flora: Very low vegetation - some shrubs further inland and within the Cove, seaweed, dune grass Fauna: Fish (drum, bass, tuna, perch), large marine animals (dolphins, sharks, barracuda, marlin), semi-aquatic animals and birds (sea snakes, gulls, terns, sandpipers)

The Clowder Throughout History

The Founders (Years 0-13)

Founded by a cat named Auk, who discovered Prosperity living alone by the sea and became their companion. Prosperity showed Auk the way of peace, love, and wisdom; teachings that he would then go on to demonstrate to other lone cats, showing them how to live off the coast and live a life full of harmony. Auk eventually became Soaring Auk and the leader of the newfound Clowder. Prosperity, feeling fond and like their work was completed, vanished into the ocean to leave their companion to his new life.

The Age of Sucession (Years 14-27)

Soaring Auk goes missing, and many Clowder cats assume his longing became too unbearable and he joined Prosperity in the sea. The Clowder wishes him well, and Soaring Auk's youngest child, Dolphin Cry, is looked at as the next Watcher of the Rain.

The First Compass War (Years 28-34)

The Clowder remains uninvolved for a large chunk of the War. Because they rarely venture inland, the War went over for almost two years before they even discovered it's happening, and even then it was from a passing remark by a loner about all the bloodshed further west.

When the Wings initially reached out to the Clowder, nearly four years into the war, Dolphin Cry refused to provide assistance. It wasn't the Clowder's fight. While some of the eastern cats disagreed, there wasn't any opinions strong enough in the Wings' favor to justify speaking out. However, when the younger sister of a deceased Feather came alone to plead their case again, this time striking fear in Dolphin Cry's heart by claiming that the Empire will push further east and kill them too, he agreed to help.

The Clowder heads west to help the Wings plan how to take down General Silkweaver. Dolphin Cry becomes even more sympathetic to their cause by seeing how the Empire's destruction has affected them. The Clowder joins to the Wings in the final showdown with the Empire, only to be shocked and horrified when Loyalty, the Empire's Divine, moves to strike down Silkweaver. The younger sister who had pled the WIngs' case to the Clowder, and subsequently vanished, emerges from the river to rip her apart instead. Upon vanishing again, after declaring that the War is over, the sister gains the moniker Estelar and becomes the first ruler of the Fury.

The War of Flames and Flood (Years 35-39)

Post-War, many Clowder cats stay behind the help the Wings rebuild, most notably Dolphin Cry's son, Thundering Wave.

Thundering Wave only intended to stay for a few moons, but ended up falling in love with a gentle tomcat of the Wings, and ending up staying closer to two whole years with the southerners to be with him and become his mate.

Throughout that time, Dolphin Cry's mental health began declining rapidly, and he begins to resent the Wings for stealing his son. Thundering Wave chooses to leave his mate and return home to try and soothe his father, but to no avail - Dolphin Cry merely turns his resentment towards his own son, instead.

After months of tension, Thudering Wave's mate heads east and try and check on him, only to be cornered by Dolphin Cry against the cliffs of Highstones. Thundering Wave manages to convince his father that there was no deeper threat from the Wings at all, that he just fell in love and that is why he stayed. Luckily, the two mates were able to soothe the tensions before bloodshed could occur, but the incident still gained a nasty moniker in history.

The Golden Age (Years 40-47)

Dolphin Cry has stepped down as Watcher, due to his realization of his actions and his failing mental state, and lets Thundering Wave take over, mate at his side. Due to this new leadership, the relationship with the Wings repairs itself rapidly.

Trade is established between the newly-four groups.

The Second Compass War (Years 48-52)

The Clowder knows nothing of Scorch's plans to frame them for the murder of the Fury's royal family, until Scorch's mother informs all of the leaders after his murder. Harsh Sand, the newly-titled Watcher, hesitantly agrees to head north to help clear up the confusion with the other leaders; however, they end up encountering a Fury on the way by the name of Wynather, alongside the Wing assassin's mangled body. Wynather waves off the other leaders, claiming that they knew the truth of the assassinations and no harm was done, and announced themself the new Monarch in the North.

The Council of the Four Points (Year 53)

The Empire's General, Iceheart, comes up with the idea to meet every moon to discuss grievances and any other updates between groups to avoid miscommunications. The other's agree - nowadays, the leaders often skip the meetings and entrust their Ambassadors with the honor.

The Wolf Queen (Years 54-Present)

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: The Lord Balfour Hotel by Suzanne Jones Weisberg

On SALE now: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/the-lord-balfour-hotel-by-suzanne-jones-weisberg/

Suzanne Jones Weisberg grew up on the southern tip of #Miami Beach, #Florida in the 1940’s and 50’s. Her family had business interests in the #Caribbean and as a child she spent time in Nassau, Jamaica, Haiti , Mexico, Panama, and Cuba. She has been variously, an attorney, a painter, and a poet. The Lord Balfour Hotel is her first collection of #poems. #chapbook

PRAISE FOR The Lord Balfour Hotel by NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: The Lord Balfour Hotel by Suzanne Jones Weisberg

Suzanne Jones Weisberg takes us on a grand journey of lost innocence and reclaimed glamour with The Lord Balfour Hotel. Cuban beauties, bullfighters, gamblers and gangsters, Latin music and sugar cane slices all dazzle in the balmy shtetl that was the Miami Beach of an earlier era. Along the way we learn how handsome men are like cakes and the shape of her chocolate truffle dreams. While bringing vivid life to every line, Weisberg captures the longing and wonder of her well-spent youth, with poems to be both celebrated and savored.

–Nancy Spiller, author of the novel Entertaining Disasters and memoir Compromise Cake: Lessons Learned from My Mother’s Recipe Box.

There’s more, much more, than mahjong tables and stuffed marlins and zoot suits in this nostalgic collection. Crime bosses and bullfighters and philosophers and neurotic relatives parade through these pages, and we end up on the shores of the Pacific enjoying the pleasures of ice cream and a modicum of contentment, but always hearing the powerful echoes of jazz and flamenco and artists’ young chatter in rooms that burned down long ago.

–Alex M. Frankel, author of So Many Mouths at the End of All Beauty.

There is something elegant and wise about a premier collection of poems composed late in life. In language well-seasoned, a reader finds a peppering of weariness, a salting of irony, some nuttiness and bitter humor, all ingredients in aging’s recipe. The narrator in Suzanne Jones Weisberg‘s debut chapbook, “The Lord Balfour Hotel,” is a kind of “wise guy” little girl who, like Eloise in The Plaza, grows up living in a hotel. Not just any hotel, but a “good fella” world in Miami Beach, where mobsters and Cuban dictators and their sultry mistresses check in and out. In Jones Weisberg’s capable hands, her poems soar in mystery, sorrow and loss that accompany long memory. The strange atonal cry of a pelican haunts her, leaving a sound in her mind like “a clanging of the suitcase room, where vipers go to expire.” Jones Weisberg’s language surprises. Her images are original and playful: “Cherries on top red as a diaper rash” … “the stuffed marlin pinned above the front desk smiles at me, as always.” Her writing is confident and taut. Her subjects range wide from the dark, possibly fatal allure of chocolate, to a dragon mother to lost love, bizarre hotel guests and the terror of a hurricane. In one poem she evokes Havana in the early 1950s — a lone cornet in the night, sugary humidity, other little girls peeking out of “sordid … curtains.” A love lyric resonates with the fact of death. “All we love means nothing without you laughing at the moon beside me,” she writes. She is so good at titles that the table of contents reads like a poem. The Lord Balfour Hotel is a wonderful debut, a truffle both sweet and dark, a bright moon over Miami.

–Georgia Jones-Davis, author of Blue Poodle and Night School.

The Little Story Number Two: The Best Potato Salad on L’anse Drigie

Marlin and Merlin lived together as two old bachelor men. They’d been together for years, fifty-nine to be exact. These two eccentric men met during High School in Geometry class; the teacher sat them next to each other so that Merlin could help Marlin, who struggled in Geometry. Merlin had a knack for Geometry, Marlin thought of geometry as nonsense; he couldn’t make sense of it! Proofs were overrated! Much more of a words man, Marlin was enamored with word play and making stories. Marlin was a born storyteller; he began to write his stories on paper - people began to request and even buy his stories. By way of default Marlin became an author; yet he preferred to be known as a storyteller; with style, flair and Diva-ish performances, more like one man play performances by Marlin. A talented tailor, Marlin created his own costumes, too.

Marlin and Merlin were usually referred to as M and M, by families and friends. They were so loved by everyone on L’anse Drigie (dree - guy, meaning Rascal) a perfect adjective for these two; they were rascals. Laughing and playing jokes all the time, M and M were delightful to be around!

They lived on a quarter of an acre piece of land with sweet magnolia bushes marking the perimeter of their house; the fruit of the bushes were flower petals in the shape of tiny bananas. Living in an old barn converted into a lean-to house the guys had renovated it into an architectural wonder. Using mostly old woods, tin and stone, the place shone with wonder. Onto the lean-to roof the guys had painted a ginormous rainbow 🌈.

Marlin and Merlin made a living doing odd jobs; they never turned down any requests, and mostly charged for parts or materials, no labor charges. It was their delight to help their friends and even strangers. They were paid in money, food, livestock; however each person was able to compensate them for their skills.

The boys were professionals, providing impeccable work. At night, Marlin wrote his stories. On Saturday nights, he and Merlin opened their home for a story time where Marlin read old favorites and also shared new shorts. Merlin on the other hand was a top notch cook; mostly known for his local Cajun cuisine, utilizing smoked meats like sausage and tasso, in his cooking. Marlin entertained and Merlin fed at these Saturday night gatherings that drew crowds from far and wide - gatherings grew from twenty-five to one hundred twenty-five!

They boys were becoming notable stars! Marlin was often asked for his autograph and had decided to publish some of his shorts into an anthology. Of course M and M had their heads screwed on sanely. None of this regional fame gave them big heads. They just loved people and intergenerational gatherings where folk laughed and spirits soared with positivity and healthy minds. That’s how it was in those days, people actually spoke without the use of technology. Party phone lines (8 people shared 1 phone line) were available for emergency, not for idle chitchat. One had to be careful what one said, since you could pick up the phone at any given time of the day or night and listen in on private conversations; however everyone knew that phone conversations on party lines were not private.

An example of party line tracas (troubles):

Ms. Terrebonne still wasn’t speaking to Ms. Quinilty since she, Ms. Terrebonne, had overheard a private conversation between Ms. Quinilty and a friend.

Here’s the story:

There was a big Mardi Gras party planning meeting, and before the meeting Ms. Terrebone overheard heard Ms. Quinilty tell a friend of hers on the phone that she hoped that Ms. Terrebonne wouldn’t be bringing her potato salad that always had egg shells in it. Ms. Quinilty told her friend that Ms. Terrebonne should be more careful when peeling her boiled eggs.

“Who wants to hear the crackling of egg shells between their teeth when biting on a fork full of potato salad?” And Ms. Quinilty didn’t stop at that, “Her potato salad needs more mayonnaise and she doesn’t put enough salt!”, Ms. Quinilty commented to her friend on the party line.

Now, Ms. Quinilty knew something was wrong when she heard the receiver of someone overhearing their conversation about the eggs shells and lack of salt in the potato salad when she heard the receiver bang onto the phone base during her conversation with her friend. And in church that next Sunday morning Ms. Terrebonne sat on the other side of the room during their women’s Sunday school class; an unusual occurrence since Ms. Terrebonne and Ms. Quinilty usually sat side by side. Ms. Quinilty knew she had made a mistake in making comments about a woman’s potato salad on a party line. It’s the South; no one should ever have the gall to trash someone else’s potato salad - a crowning dish in the South!

Marlin and Merlin shared a knack as mediators; another feather to add to their caps in that community of L’anse Drigie. They were determined to get Ms. Terrebonne and Ms. Quinilty speaking again before the Mardi Gras gumbo. The boys knew this wouldn’t be an easy task, but they were up to the challenge! Two women not speaking broke the chi energy on the Cajun Prairie!

Marlin and Merlin put a plan into action; they decided to bring the two ladies, Ms. Terrebonne and Ms. Quinilty over to their house for a gay sweet in the pot coffee and beignets with lots of powdered sugar. Who could resist such a sweet treat? The guys knew that powdered sugar was a miracle worker in the realm of psychology. The women would be crying, hugging and forgiving each other in no time. And that’s exactly what happened! With powdered sugar mustaches, Ms. Terrebonne and Ms. Quinilty were crying and hugging like nothing had ever come between the two of them.

Soon after that, Ms. Quinilty overheard Ms. Terrebonne tell that same friend that Ms. Terrebonne had the BEST crowning dish of potato salad, perfectly salted and without bits of egg shell, on L’anse Drigie!
