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.

Flutters

Flutters (she/her) is satyr who is a Patron of the Emblem Warhorse. Rumored to be several thousand years old, she claims that the establishment revealed itself to her “sometime in the past few centuries or so.” She wears the Emblem as a necklace.

Notorious for her mischievous and childish nature, sometimes to an inappropriate extent, non-Patron visitors may find themselves falling victim to her (mostly) harmless pranks. Regulars, on the other hand, may be subject to the friendlier end of her shenanigans, as she has a penchant for roping others into her shenanigans.

When Flutters isn’t planning one of her devious schemes, she can be found performing sleight of hand magic at the bar. She also often tags along with Emerald to renaissance festivals, enjoying the change of scenery for her performances.

A former pickpocket, Flutters enjoys telling anyone who would listen about her time spent wreaking havoc upon ancient Greece. Those who know her well, however, understand that her career of thievery lasted only a few days, as she quit once she realized her skills were amateur at best.

On the field, Flutters’ mastery of sleight of hand and her attempts to recreate her grand tales show in her playstyle, as she often attempts to steal every base.

Besides her Grecian adventures, Flutters also enjoys all talk of gardening and plants. Throughout her life, she has made a significant effort collecting a diverse range of species from around the world. She spends much of her time away from the Warhorse tending to her plants of various rarities, some having been planted there centuries ago.

Flutters plays the pan flute, though she has recently taken an interest in the theremin and is attempting to learn to play it under the guidance of Durham Spaceman.

Despite having tried a myriad of drinks throughout her long life, Flutters’ drink of choice remains to be straight vodka.
