Background

Emblem Warhorse describes many things: a bar, a band, a Blaseball player, but most importantly, a community. The Emblem Warhorse is a dive bar in Seattle, and Emblem Warhorse is a collective of people who have at some point in their life found refuge within its walls, becoming Patrons of The Emblem Warhorse. Patrons can be found doing a variety of activities, including (but certainly not limited to) celebrating after a minor league blaseball game, chatting with fellow motorcycle gang members, performing in the group's band (titled Emblem Warhorse), performing at the bar's drag shows under the moniker Emblem Warhorse, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the bar. A watchful reader may have noticed that some of these activities involve being named Emblem Warhorse; this stems from the bar’s motto: “If you’re here, you’re Emblem Warhorse.” Upon entering the bar, one's name becomes Emblem Warhorse for the duration of one's stay. All are Emblem Warhorse. All is Emblem Warhorse.

Warhorses who frequent the bar often note having never seen the bar before finding it, despite it being located across the street from the Queen Anne Dicks Drive In. Some speculate the bar is only visible when one is truly prepared to find it. The exception to this rule is when the bar hosts events, though visitors who are not meant to become a Patron often find themselves shooed out the door by The Emblem Warhorse itself. Visitors have reported experiencing this phenomenon differently, some finding chairs feeling more uncomfortable, others noticing the water tasting off or the music being just a little too loud. Some have taken to challenging The Emblem Warhorse, ready to prove themselves worthy candidates of the Emblem Warhorse name. It is unclear at this point if any such challenges have been successful.

After the name Emblem Warhorse appeared on the Seattle Garages active roster, at least one Warhorse has been chosen to play in each Garages game. How a Warhorse is chosen for play on a given day is unclear, as Patrons have given conflicting reports. It is possible that there is no clear way of deciding play, or that it changes from day to day. Some cite a competitive game of dlarts, others claim they simply feel the compulsion to pick up the bat and head out the doors.

Qualifications of becoming an Emblem Warhorse

Of the players who take up the moniker Emblem Warhorse, only two things are consistent:

• They have at one point in time been considered a regular at The Emblem Warhorse, and have been deemed worthy.

• They are required to wear the Emblem, a design featuring an upside-down chess knight, somewhere on their person.

The bar has a strict no quadruped policy, though there have been known instances of quadruped Emblem Warhorses managing to get around this rule.

Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse

Many people and beings have come to take up the moniker of Emblem Warhorse throughout time, as deemed worthy by The Emblem Warhorse bar. Below is one such Warhorse.

This time, the Interdimensional Rumor Mill reveals a Patron Rumor from IF-41.121 out of its Patron Rumor Registry...

John

Emblem "John" Warhorse, or "John" is that person you swear you know. Sporting the emblem sewn up to a bunch of their ties, they are an office worker for a software tech company. They are a simple person in their 40's that likes simple things: a stroll around nature, comfortable weather and every now and then a drink in The Emblem Warhorse.

Even though it's been known that they were an usual customer before becoming a patron, they usually went unnoticed. Ordering simple drinks or food and always leaving when The Emblem Warhorse started to nudge them out. That is until one day every patron found themselves not feeling like it was anyone's turn to play, only to see John still sitting inside the establishment, drinking the water back from their beer 10 minutes before the time to leave for the match.

That day John decided it was worth it to try something new, and has said that they surprised themselves enjoying playing with the Seattle Garages. Since then they have become a patron of the establishment, and decided to take up more hobbies to see if that spark happened again. It is known that they keep participating in the drag shows running at The Emblem Warhorse, Theodore Duende's hiking team and the chess matches that are played at The Emblem Warhorse, enjoying specially the ones with Jon. They have tried to join The Emblem Warhorse band, but quitted after having problems "Comprehending anything that was not 120 beats per minute and 4/4 rhythms.".

While officially being a patron, they have taken a more passive role towards the establishment, still considering themselves just a client more. They have, however, been seen hanging out with both the patrons and the Garages, reportedly having grown close to Grampa Warhorse and Mori, and helping out where and who they can. Spending time with both has allowed them to start to discover themselves a bit more, having taken they/them pronouns recently.

When playing, they usually try to make their at bats as orderly as possible, aiming to get four balls in a row if possible or hitting singles to fill all the bases.

No one knows John’s real name and, contrary to how they usually act, it’s been reported that they find the mystery “Very entertaining.”. Other patrons report that John has decided to keep their name a secret from their group and the Seattle Garages.
