It had been a long while since lunch, Stynth reflected, while nodding off in their office chair. Bustling sounds of typing ebbed and flowed through the door of the large room, where a sign on the door denoted the room as that of belonging to the “Project Marblearth Server Admin”.

Out of the Rolling – Event 12: The Impossible Distance
Words. So many words. Way too many words to get through, and Shock was tired and miserable and just wanted to finish reading before they went to sleep.
Out of the Rolling – Event 5: A Blossoming Smile
“I thought I’d find you here.” Fenrir looked up to see Sheep rolling cautiously into the room. They looked around at the beautiful foliage and colorful flowers that scattered across the grass. A bright blue sky soared up above them, and the walls were painted with a beautiful background of trees that stretched far beyondContinue reading “Out of the Rolling – Event 5: A Blossoming Smile”
Out of the Rolling – Event 4: Turbulence of Dreams
The silence was louder than any noise could possibly have been. In reflection, the crushing weight of competition only felt heavier now that it was over.

Out of the Rolling – Event 1: No Chance
Darkness crept over the sky, burrowing its way through small gaps between the distant lights of the nearby cities as Azure sat, unmoving, in a small glade that twinkled slightly underneath the lights of the first stars. It had been an hour or so, and Azure had only just begun to notice the chill settingContinue reading “Out of the Rolling – Event 1: No Chance”
Rolling On – A Different Story
A rush of wind strikes, as sudden as the echo of a twig snap that parodies the starting pistol. The sun has sunk to be barely visible, but it’s the sudden cold that jerks me from my dream-like state. I’ve never been one for creativity, really, but I don’t think that dreaming is necessarily aContinue reading “Rolling On – A Different Story”

Hello and welcome to another RetRollSpective, where we reflect on the history of marble sports teams that have competed in the tournaments of Jelle’s Marble Runs. This time, we’re going to uncover the history of the Strixes, a team that debuted in Marble ManiaX, but rotated their sights 270 degrees from being classical musicians!
