Partial Bloom

Rosaka was a city with a lot to offer, and it had the habit of splitting the Racers apart. Razzy, Rizzy, and Ruzzy had won the Stone Toss together—truly together, with an under-anticipated system of utilising turn order to bait any given opponent into a fatal mistake. Now, even in the same building, they’d splitContinue reading “Partial Bloom”

ML2024 Memo #5: Beyond The Horizon

Glidavik’s limited daylight had run out by the time all the decorations were put up, but it was just as well. As Bumble rounded the corner, Foggy connected the plugs, causing all the lights to turn on at once and a gasp of delight from the captain.

“Thank you so much for your help,” smiled Bumble as Foggy descended.

M1S5 Memo #5: Like Clockwork

“Maybe put a message out in the group chat,” Slimelime proposed. “But not the Razzies.” 

“Still locked. I heard Blizzard had to drag Snowy away from Red Eye last night…” 

Lemonlime gestured for the attendant at the dock, a young and disinterested marble unimpressed by the presence of the Limers duo. “Our other riders canceled. Can we still get on?”

ML2023 Memo #15: Penultimatum

At the bottom of the sand slope, still covered with a thin film of sand, Pinky Toe was greeted enthusiastically by the rest of their team. A mood soured by anxiety after their first-race wipeout only made their victorious comeback sweeter, and the Rosakan team was by far the loudest amongst those greeting their racersContinue reading “ML2023 Memo #15: Penultimatum”

One Second To Midnight

M1S5 Memo #4: Diving Deep, Digging Deeper

As the season draws to its close and pressure mounts for the athletes, tensions rise between teammates and rivals alike in Project Marblearth’s M1S5 Memo #4.

Back on Track

The Raspberry Racers had dealt with hardships before, but not quite like the recent Marbula One season. Despite Rubow’s hype upon their return from a one year hiatus, their home performance only amassed a single point, with the rest of the season following a similar trend, ultimately ending with 5 scoreless races. This was the team’s first dead last performance.

Roll to Survive: The Racers of Marbula 1 Season 5

What unites all these 40 racers is a passion that has not faded. They take on the track for a chance to win – to record their name in history. Project Marblearth looks back at where they come from, along with their hopes going forward.

Hearts Aflutter and Minds Abuzz

Fragmented rose-pink clouds decorated the orange-yellow sky. A thin morning haze hung over the city streets down below. The moon had disappeared beneath the horizon and the sun, burning the wispy edges of the clouds with its light, had emerged in its place.

The cycle of the heavens was beginning anew, and a new day was breaking over Buzznya.

ML2023 Memo #5: Running Fast, Running Past

On Snowy’s bedroom wall hung two individual golds.  The first they’d earned during S1’s Short Circuit GP. There they’d learned that to stand alone on the top step of the podium was an incomparable experience.  The second was from the 2022 Showdown’s Sand Rally, the final event, before which the Snowballs had been sixteenth andContinue reading “ML2023 Memo #5: Running Fast, Running Past”
