The Narrow Road To Rosaka
Ringo’s diagnostics—via Berry—were clear; a four out of five—or eight out of ten, Diego reasoned—chance to win, and a one-in-fifty-five-thousand chance to lose their grip on the podium completely. They were under strict instructions to not even consider that as an option, though Diego’s mind drifted naturally to it anyway; what else in their life had such low odds, yet still happened?
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.

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.
ML2024 Memo #3: The Guarding of The Change
As the sun began its setting, three picnic-bound hikers began a slow-paced ascent up the side of the imposing Mt. Bonsel. To the right of their trail was its steep upwards slope; in the far distance, across swathes of rainforest valley, were its sibling mountains. The worst of the summer heat had passed with the early evening, but even now the three hikers kept to the shade…
ML2024 Memo #2: War and Ice
Under fluorescent lights, Snowdrift and Snowblast wandered the labyrinthine corridors of the Moraine Domain full of bubbling, mutual excitement, silver medals glinting in unison. “You know, I feel bad it wasn’t Snowfall with me, but maybe it’s a good thing we get to be apart.
