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”
The Final Gamble
Green Ducks & Kobalts Las Veglass was known to all as the city that never sleeps.

ML2023 Memo #9: Tri, Tri Again
“…so, as I was saying, we have this giant festival that takes place at one of our lakes, and if you go there you’ll see motorbikes for miles, everyone lined up in the mud and strolling between the rows talking. It’s awesome.” “Damn. You’re speaking my language.” “And if you buy the weekend ticket, youContinue reading “ML2023 Memo #9: Tri, Tri Again”

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”
