Adding NaN to the Baltimore Crabs' list of rivals

NautALoid (talkcontribs)

Hello! As the title of this topic would suggest, this is a crossposted talk page for adding NaN to the Crabs' list of rivals (in the Community Reports: Rivals section of the Baltimore Crabs wiki page). This rivalry has existed since Season 15.

hey i feel like writing some NaN and jaxon stuff so here i go! i think it could be fun!


edit: forgot that i'm supposed to put a summary that the start so uh: NaN goes bigfoot hunting with jaxon, no bigfoots are found, jaxon gives a lot of humorously unhelpful advice to nan


After joining the Philly Pies' shadows, NaN was soon asked by Jaxon Buckley if they'd like to join them on a Bigfoot Hunting trip. NaN, being new to the team and generally gullible, quickly accepted (much to the relief of the pies other new transfers, as Jaxon's horse was only a two-seater, and their sidecar was in for repairs), and the pair soon set off, with Jaxon expressing excitement to have met a "real life digital data child ghost", and clarifying "don't worry, there'll be no bigfoot weed, because I think you're like a kid or something, and also I've never found any, heh".

While on their trek, Jaxon regaled NaN with tales of "the bigfoots" and other skunkapes; NaN in particular wanted to know if bigfoots echoed into Static if they ever met each other, which Jaxon reassured them "probably wasn't a huge issue for them, wood-ape microphones aren't even electric". The pair also discovered that Jaxon's bass-boosted 5.1 surround sound spirit box acted strange near the once-wyatt, leading Jaxon to reassure them that it was simply good practice for if Jaxon got haunted again, and that they always packed their backup dowsing rods just in case (even if they, unfortunately, had historically only dowsed out a Loch Ness and a family of beavers).

Though the pair never found a bigfoot (much to NaN's disappointment), they both had a good time, with NaN learning several animal tracking and cryptid research skills (which Jaxon confusingly told them would "definitely help you get your revenge on the microphone, pal"), while Jaxon left feeling they'd provided sound guidance to a troubled youth.


Let me know what you think! thoughts for revisions, etc, welcome! i'm not really familiar with NaN so let me know if I got anything off-base (lol)


BonBlackberry (talkcontribs)

hi im a wyattbrainer (i made an account specifically for this).

I actually really love this, but I would cut the wording about NaN being generally gullible (with all the weird things in blaseball that are real, why not bigfoot, right?) and also that bit about NaN fearing the bigfeet would static bc given that they were a reciever and have stayed around this long, they'd know that wasn't a worry. Maybe replace it with Jaxon reassuring NaN about some other worry?

That said, this is broadly really cute and I enjoy it.

Link (talkcontribs)

This is an amusing entry. I like it. It's pretty humorous stuff.

That being said, there may be a policy against writing lore for a player that's in your shadows but that has not seen active play on your team. Unless that particular rule has since changed with all the wild happenings of the league. The San Francisco Lovers encountered the issue with Kurt Crueller, that despite them being a formerly active player, and even emerging from Secret Base to score us a run after a season in our shadows while still not on our active roster, we were unable to write any lore for them until they joined the active roster.

Snerkus (talkcontribs)

huh I really thought that was only for players who'd never played before, oh well

Link (talkcontribs)

FWIW, I might be incorrect and it applies differently to Roamers. Kurt was a redacted player that then joined our shadows. Just wanted to give you a heads up JiC. Wiki rules always be changing since Blaseball goes Brr.

Link with Fitzgerald Wanderlust

Crab (talkcontribs)

NaN is mentioned on Wanderlust's proposed page update (found here: Topic:Wclabnjil5m7th9g) as an enjoyer of his alchemically spicy salsa recipe.

The relevant section is:

After Season 17, Wanderlust retired to the shadows for the following Siesta and the first half of Season 18. Terrell Bradley sought her out immediately — first to welcome her to the Seattle Shadows Co-op, and second to request a special batch of the dimension-destabilizing spicy salsa that Wanderlust first developed in Los Angeli. The salsa has since become a smash hit at the Hot Sauce Bar and Grill; as the three are largely unaffected by its destabilizing qualities, Wyatt Mason X often brings Wyatt Mason IV and NaN to Seattle to try it. “It’s — mmm — sorta tingly,” reported NaN during one such visit.

Friendship with Wyatt Mason X (MaX)

Mathonwys (talkcontribs)

howdy! a while ago the Garages discussed the idea of Wyatt Mason X (MaX) looking up to NaN and them being friends, so i wrote a bit about that to add to xer page. the full update proposal is here, and MaX's talk page is here!

NaNventure update -s19

1
Uwunium (talkcontribs)

(Here's the draft update for the NaNventure as of now, made possible by all the awesome people from the teams they've been on. Y'all rock!)

FOURTH STOP: Hawai’i Fridays

After Jaylen feedbacked away from the Lovers, NaN was worried about losing their mentor. However, Jaylen told them that her training with them had reached completion, and that they needed to find a new mentor: a champion batter. Thus, now armed with the Excalibat, they went to Hawai’i in hopes of meeting Nagomi McDaniel. NaN arrived right after the departure of Fridays captain Fletcher Yamamoto. It is said that when Fletcher and NaN swapped in the feedback, Fletcher’s hat passed through NaN and became multiple, tiny hats, which were passed on to the next captains. Despite this, the sudden loss of the team’s long-time captain made NaN feel like they had a large role to fill. Instead, however, the Fridays offered them a chance to relax. They taught NaN that they don’t need to try and be the hero every day- that sometimes it’s more healthy to take a break and simply vibe. After NaN realized this, they took some time to meet the members of the team and enjoy living on island time. Nagomi McDaniel was very glad to see NaN, as NaN was around the same age as her son, York Silk, had been upon his departure from the Fridays. Nagomi, missing her son, took care of NaN in the same way that she took care of York, even to a fault. NaN could see that she had been through many difficult times- The fallout of the PODS had an incredible negative impact on her- so they used this opportunity to help Nagomi with some tips that they learned from the Lovers: “If you love someone, let them go.” NaN found themself getting along well with the other team members, and enjoyed being back by the ocean. They took time to hike with the team, find secret beaches, and even try to learn to surf. They also made sure to visit the snack bar for Fletcher and enjoyed some spam musubi. However, the feedback called, and NaN soon realized that their journey must continue. Thus, when the opportunity arose, NaN continued their world tour by visiting New York. They left Hawai’i with a brand new floral print button-up and a cool pair of sunglasses, reminding them to go with the flow and always keep the vibes afloat.



FIFTH STOP: New York Millennials

After leaving Hawai’i, NaN arrived in New York City ready to play for the New York Millennials. The team quickly took a liking to NaN, even offering them Bates’ room in the apartment. When asked about Bates, the team said they were “happy that a Mill finally gets a vacation.” NaN enjoyed meeting everyone on the team, and the team was happy to see that NaN’s glitchiness broke the landlord’s computing system, allowing them a break from rent. Fynn Doyle and NaN talked about ████████, and Andrew Solis asked NaN how the Spies were doing (to which NaN couldn’t give a definite answer, both because of their short time in Houston and because of the Spies’ secretive nature.) NaN also learned new skills on this leg of their journey, including magic lessons from Nandy Fantastic and a rock skipping tutorial from Ren. NaN enjoyed playing with Millie and was impressed by Patty and Sandie’s blagonballs. Alejandro Leaf and NaN reunited and made Vlines together, and NaN showed Schneider Bendie Undlertale. However, NaN was most excited to meet Thomas Dracaena, both for his fame in the league and his reputation as a number-crime aficionado. Dracaena was just as happy to meet NaN, and he even scored a home run in their first game together. Dracaena took NaN on a tour of New York on his Actual Airplane, which they then decorated with various stickers from their journey. Outside of blaseball, NaN got to experience all New York had to offer. For example, they got to go to many restaurants and cafes with the team, and were even able to sign the wall at Flive Points. They even picked up a side hustle while in New York: A Capella EDM kickball. Needless to say, NaN wasn’t fond of the idea of leaving, especially after what happened when they tried to swap with Hotbox Sato and became suddenly tangled in reality’s flickering as a result. However, when day 14 arrived, NaN knew that they had to move on once again. For this last game, the team decided to really make it count, getting as many runs as possible for NaN; this gesture resonated enough with NaN that they decided to stay in New York for another season. As the day of NaN’s departure approached, Bendie saw NaN beneath a banner reading “Youth Will Save Us” and realized that it was a prophecy--the Coin had always been about maximizing numbers, but NaN is not a number. Both Theodore Cervantes and Thomas Dracaena agreed with this, hoping that NaN could be the one to take down the Coin. Cervantes, in particular, gave an ominous warning:

“SOMETHING IS COMING. I CANNOT TELL WHAT, AND NEITHER CAN ANYONE ELSE. JUST REMEMBER, YOUNG ONE, WE ALL HAVE A TERMINAL VELOCITY. FIND YOURS, KNOW YOUR LIMITS, AND YOU WILL BREAK WHATEVER BARRIERS ARE IN YOUR WAY.”

Each of the team members gave them a parting lesson: Solis taught them about the material plane, Garbage taught them to always be ready to learn, Penelope Mathews told them to ‘stop and smell the roses’ sometimes, Nandy advised them to view the world as their stage, and Ren told them that wherever they end up is the right place. NaN boarded the subway to the Wild league with Alejandro Leaf, carrying with them many souvenirs; such as a treasure map from Charlatan Seabright, Patty Fox’s secret sauce recipe, temporary tattoos from Hatfield Suzuki, a case file about the Grand Unslam from Uncle Plasma, and the recipe for an LGMBLDM sandwich from Sandie Turner. As NaN boarded the subway to Chicago, one last Millennial greeted them, giving them a pocket knife with a leaf carved into it, before the figure lit a cigar and disappeared into the distance.

SIXTH STOP: Ohio Worms

NaN set off for Chicago after leaving the Millennials- however, they didn’t notice that their train ticket was actually for Ohio. Despite this change of plans, NaN adapted well and was able to play with the Worms. NaN was welcomed to Ohio with open arms. Ephraim Ladd and Scratch Deleuze made sure NaN was safe and ensured that they were taken care of, for example. Loubert Ji-Eun, Cantus Hojo, and a few others also worked together with NaN to create music, as NaN’s unique glitchiness was useful in gathering samples. With the help of Ji-Eun, NaN discovered that it is possible for them to receive and transmit normal radio signals. It was believed that if NaN received a message from the microphone this way, Ji-Eun could potentially use the signals for music. In addition to this, they were able to convert NaN’s glitches to act like an audio visualizer. NaN also got to experience secret parts of Ohio by going urban exploring with Kaz Fiasco. However, NaN was especially excited to reunite with Pitching Machine. While NaN had always considered Pitching Machine to be more than just a machine (even when it was just a machine,) Pitching Machine had now learned sign language and could communicate with NaN. However, as a result of becoming Uncertain, Pitching Machine began to question its own existence more. NaN was able to help Pitching Machine on this front, as they themselves had dealt with the question of existence since Season 3. After this, Pitching Machine took the time to teach NaN to pitch, as NaN’s only prior pitching experience was in watching Wyatt Dovenpart practice quantum curveballs. NaN also got to visit Augusta Chadwell’s Academy for Composting and the Advancement of Splorts, which really resonated with them - if anyone understood what it was like to be bad at blaseball, it was NaN. The team helped them in more ways than just this. For example, they taught NaN the “way of the dirt” with things like mud bath relaxations. As latesiesta approached, the feedback called to NaN once again, leading them to Chicago. Before they left, they were given a few souvenirs from the team - the highlights being a space suit helmet and a jetpack that shoots ones and zeroes.


SEVENTH STOP: Chicago Firefighters

NaN was called to leave Ohio as the worms continued to build their PsychoAcoustics system. They also heard the Call from Mx. Chicago, but they could not guarantee a life of protecting Chicago, as they would likely be moving more on their journey. However, the loss of Rivers Rosa to the Worms was an emotional blow to many members of the Firefighters, and thus NaN was not welcomed by everyone equally at first. Even still, they soon bonded with Gita Sparrow and Wanda Schenn, the two newest members of the Chicago Firefighters, as they did not know Rosa as well as the rest of the team and were not hit as hard by her departure. After a while, the rest of the team warmed up to them. Socks Maybe seemed to be rather confused by NaN’s appearance, but she too soon befriended NaN, liking to rest in their lap. Goobie Ballson and Kennedy Rodgers also got to befriend NaN. Goobie taught them a little bit about Ska music, and Rodgers taught them about mechanical engineering, even making them a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. (These headphones did not cancel feedback, but they were still a nice gift.) They also spent some time playing video games with Declan Suzanne, bonding over the shared experience of having terrible luck in peanut weather. NaN left Chicago with a Douglas bobblehead, a bottle of alcohol-free Royal Crown Malort, a firehat, and a lot of cat hair.

EIGHTH STOP: Hades Tigers

After spending some time in Chicago, NaN decided they wanted to try and search for the static Wyatts Mason after the s14 Latesiesta and subsequent events. For this reason, they traveled to the underworld to begin their search. When the swap occurred, Dunlap Figueroa, set to join the Firefighters in place of NaN, notably pitched for both teams for the remainder of the game. NaN wanted to help and pitch for the Tigers, but Figueroa reassured NaN that they could handle this on their own. NaN was welcomed to Hades with open arms, despite their lackluster ability as a pitcher. The team also had one-word tips for NaN, different for each member. - Owens: “Improvise!” - Hiroto: “Strategise!” - Zion: “Mechanise!” - Aldon: “Diversify!” - Randy: “Do your best, kiddo.” - Usurper: “Antagonise!” - Mora: “...What, you expect me to meet some format and structure just to keep a joke running its course, like some kind of circus monke-“ - Matteo: “Maximise!”

After seeing the sudden disappearance of the Wyatts, NaN was, of course, hoping to find them. While Hades is not the Hall, their connection through the Ambush meant that it was possible to check- something Ren Morin promised to do for NaN. While in Hades, NaN got a reserved seat in the Sixth Circle Stadium. In addition to this, they happened to meet the actual Hades, who was very confused by the encounter, as it is impossible to apply rules and deals to someone like NaN. The Tigers sent them off with a few souvenirs. Firstly, they got a jacket with patches and the signatures of each member of the team, following their “once a stripe, always a stripe” philosophy. They also received a pouch of coins to give to the ferryman at the River Styx in case they ever wanted to return. Finally, the Tigers taught them how to materialize cat ears and a tail, which they can now do at will.


NINTH STOP: San Francisco Lovers

The stressful environment of blaseball had finally started to take a toll on NaN, and after spending 10+ years with the Lovers, they knew they had a home to go back to when it all became too much. On their journey, they had been swapped around a lot, and it appeared that the Fans didn’t want them- they weren’t valuable enough or a good enough player. This was hard on them. However, the Lovers never had those expectations for them, and they remembered that. The Lovers had given them a home- and so they returned. Because of their previous experiences, they were surprised to find that the Lovers actually wanted to keep them around. NaN came back expecting to see the team as they’d left it- however, Knight was now gone, and the team’s dynamic had shifted dramatically with the addition of several new members. Despite this, NaN once again warmed up to the team, because even if they weren’t all the same people they had known before, they were still the Lovers. Because of the recent occurrences of static, as well as their constant team-swapping, NaN decided to take a break in the Lovers’ shadows. During this time, their most important goal was simply to have fun- to enjoy being the kid they still were instead of trying to be a hero. They also took the time to train, learn more about their newfound ability to echo, and above all, learn more about themself and their identity. However, their time off was short lived, as they soon realized that, despite everything, they were still someone with a difference to make in the world. And so they left the shadows, excalibat in hand, ready to take on the world in the second leg of their world tour- however long or short a time that might last. The team was emotional seeing NaN go and gave them gifts before they departed. For example, Silvia Winner knitted them sweaters for Boston. Apparently, upon arrival, they were wearing all 15+ of the sweaters. The most important thing NaN learned from their second stint in San Francisco was that there were still people who cared about them- they were the Lovers’ Wyatt Mason.


TENTH STOP: Boston Flowers

After leaving the Lovers’ shadows, NaN was a bit lost on where to go next. They decided on the Flowers for a few reasons: firstly, Boston seemed to have strange alternate-universe interactions, and while it was different from Los Angeli, it was still familiar. Secondly, they wanted to see Jaylen again. Finally, after spending some time in the shadows watching streamers, they’d ended up becoming a big fan of Zesty Yaboi’s streams and thought it would be cool to spend time with her in person. They bonded well with the team. SCORES BASERUNNER was excited to be on a team with someone so famous, which flustered NaN, who was still unused to fame. The Flowers knew a little about them already thanks to Wyatt Mason VI, who still existed as static in the Garden’s PA system. They also got to play video games with SCORES, Zesty, and Salih. Finally, NaN and Businessman Ferret teamed up to sue the ILB for identity theft. The results of this case are unknown, but NaN talks proudly of it nevertheless. In Boston, the team took them to see the location of the Boston Tea Party. However, NaN mostly enjoyed spending some time in the Garden, befriending the sentient ecosystem after some hesitation. Some believe it was Caligula Lotus who encouraged The Garden to warm up to NaN. While in Boston, they learned what it means to grow as a person and grow in their identity. In addition to this, they learned quite a bit about gardening and seem to have acquired a strange aversion to mushrooms. When asked to explain this, they simply responded, “Do not mess with mushrooms. They were here before us and will not miss our absence.” They left Boston with a new notebook filled with gardening tips, a succulent to take care of wherever they go, and a specially crafted flower crown made from butterfly weed, chamomile flowers, and blue salvia. Finally, they got to keep a bird, as said bird flew into them and ended up building a nest. The bird occasionally emerges to steal fries and other snacks.

I'd like to add some chants in NaN's trivia section. The Tigers came up with a few fun ones while he was pitching for us and I think it would be neat and reflective of the NaNventure to include those on the page.

Yeah, it'd be pretty cool to see.

NaN's Departure from The Lovers

1
Summary by Link

No commentary, so I assume it's safe to post.

Link (talkcontribs)

Addendum to the big Lovers section Uwunium did.

When NaN wasn’t training they could be found playing games and genuinely having a lovely time doing what they loved with people who loved and cared for them. They spent many pleasant days with The Lovers, thinking of them all as close family and friends over time.

Feedback

On Season 12, Day 31, Knight Triumphant, having partied a little too hard the previous night, had lost their favored blaseball bat. Triumphant, busy devising strategy for the day’s blaseball game against the Hawai’i Fridays, asked NaN to find it for them. After having explored what felt like the entirety of The PolyHedron they arrived in the PolyArmory. Sticking out from a stone was a fancy looking swordbat which NaN unsheathed from the stone with ease. Triumphant, wondering what had taken their protégé so long, stood in shock and awe as NaN proudly declared, “Sorry I took so long Ser Knight! I found this really rad looking swordbat for you to use!” Triumphant remained silent for a moment, still in shock, before they uttered, “That’s not my bat, young squire.” NaN’s look could only be described as “defeated” as they stared at the ground apologizing profusely to their mentor as they explained that they tried their best and looked everywhere for Triumphant’s bat. Triumphant cut them off mid-apology to clarify, "No, you misunderstand me, this is YOUR bat NaN. It has chosen YOU."

Triumphant then shared the prophecy of Excalibat, that pulling it from the stone would be a sign of great darkness on the horizon but also that the wielder, the “Chosen One”, would become a beacon of love and hope for others in the coming darkness.

Later that day, during their regularly scheduled Blaseball game, an unexpected Feedback weather occurred between NaN and Fletcher Yamamoto. When asked how they felt about losing their squire, Triumphant only had this to say “Their quest is complete, they are a squire no more, today they begin their adventure as a hero whether they know it or not.”

Hello Fridays! Let's talk NaN!

Uwunium (talkcontribs)

Hello Fridays, I am the NaN commissioner. (this is a joke i am not the commissioner)

I see that you all are trying to write your lore mostly through talk pages, which is very cool!! Shoot the ideas here and I can work with yall to come up with a summary to put on their page.


Firstly, I'm gonna start by consolidating some things that were said on the discord. - NaN came to Hawai'i, and the Fridays are hoping this gives them a chance to relax. - They get a cool pair of shades and also perhaps a pirate costume!!! Very cool stuff - There were mentions about NaN meeting Monty and recognizing them. - One concept on the feedback swap was NaN hearing the voice of Wyatt telling them to move to the Fridays. I think this is very interesting and can be woven in.

Secondly, here are some ideas myself and others have floated around- I want to hear yall's opinions on them! You aren't required to implement any of these, but they're good to be aware of.

- Fancy wrote this one: After Jaylen feedbacked from the Lovers, NaN was worried about losing their mentor. However, Jaylen told them that their journey should continue by them finding a mentor in one of the best hitters in the game- Nagomi McDaniels. Thus, NaN travelled to Hawai'i to continue their journey.

- someone in one of the servers I'm in said that, at first, NaN feels bad about the Fridays losing a captain and tries to help in some way to keep the team together- They feel as though they have to fill in. However, they learn that sometimes, it's best not to worry, as the Fridays are all about going with the flow and just vibing. They learn that when unexpected things happen, sometimes it's just best to ride the wave and vibe.

- uhhh........ I can't remember the various ideas that I came up with. They just kinda come and go it's the ADHD

And finally, here are some things we could start talking about! This list is by no means exhaustive, it's pretty much just throwing some ideas out there and getting things cooking. The best ideas come not from prompts, but from random thoughts in the middle of a conversation, so just THROW THINGS OUT THERE! Have fun with it! Nothing is off limits! :)

- On NaN's journey, they usually learn something/gain skills or knowledge/etc. Do the players help them on this quest? Do they give NaN a break from the quest? What does each player teach them/ who do they befriend?

- Hawai'i is a really cool place! What might NaN do there? What are some places/activities/etc. that the team would know about and might want to introduce a newbie to? Is there something NaN tries that they end up REALLY loving? Is there a cursed local delicacy that NaN ends up enjoying (or basically, is there a spicy milk?)

- NaN has a souvenir or two from every place they've visited- What should they bring home from Hawai'i? Who gives these things to them? What is the significance of these souvenirs? Are they souvenirs that would be helpful on their journey, like a spy's tool kit, or are they just keepsakes to remember the team by, something like the hot sauce recipe from the wings?

- Assuming you guys have NaN during certain big lore events, how do they respond to these? Is there angst? Who is there to comfort them? Alternatively, do they comfort anyone else? How did NaN respond to the team losing their captain?

- Literally any random headcanons! put em here!!! I wanna see em hand em over /lh!!!!! Has NaN secretly admired surfing this whole time? Maybe NaN has a special interest in volcanology? Or maybe even something as simple as "NaN is literally, physically, a Vibe." I love random hcs!!! theyre super fun!!


With this being said, NaN will probably leave the team at some point- this is important to understand. From what I've seen, you guys are super chill so I'm not worried about anything though. You guys have awesome vibes.

Okay that's all for my first post in here!!! :) I'm super excited to see what y'all come up with!

R4bbitdragon (talkcontribs)

The fridays don't have Cursed food, but our cookouts are great and the 3rd base snack cart always has spam musubi B)

I don't know how the timeskip effected NaN, but if they're still one of the younger players, maybe York Silk's mom would take a shine to them? (even though york is gone, his mom still attends the Fridays' games and brings snacks in her van, and is Nagomi's wife.)

Moom (talkcontribs)

I like the idea of NaN being sent to train with Nagomi who he expected to be an incredibly tough teacher but upon arriving there he learns that she too has had to relearn to relax & simply vibe. Him learning more from the rest of the team about being able to enjoy himself, not put so much pressure on being the hero he has to be & allowing himself to be the kid they are. That can also go into my headcannon that with the time skip York is almost the same age as his moms & that fact distresses them. Maybe Nagomi & the rest of the team unfairly use NaN as a replacement for York & have to learn something from him. What that may be I'm unsure. I like the idea of NaN teaching others & starting to actually put the things he's learned with other teams into practice.

CH00BEH (talkcontribs)

NaN 100% picks up surfing and/or hiking near volcanos to secret beaches. Souvenirs can include: surfboard, York's shirt, entirely too many leis, etc. Just no disturbing or taking any rocks/send/etc lest NaN invoke Pele's curse.

One thing I do want to be wary of is leaning into the "Hawai'i is a vacation place" trope—Hawai'i is a real place with people who live there, not just a tourist destination. The "island life" is embraced, though, so chill good vibes, taking a step back from the hustle and bustle, and just appreciating nature are things we can lean into.

One last thing from the discord which was very funny was that when swapping teams, Fletcher's captain hat passed through NaN and became several tiny hats.

Jenniferawrites (talkcontribs)

Also a note re: souvenirs, it is generally considered bad vibes to take natural things like sand, volcanic rocks, etc. away from the islands, so I think we should avoid that.

There are no older topics
