Talk:Pudge Nakamoto

On day 12 of the 13th season of Blaseball, Pudge Nakamoto decided to roam. Before starting their journey, they had seen themself in a mirror for the first time. Their face shifted, unable to form as Pudge themself did not know what a friend was supposed to look like. They decided that they needed to find themself, and that they would do so on the back of a motorcycle.

Friendship and kindness remain important to Pudge, but they have learned that having healthy boundaries and advocating for themself does not make them any less kind or any less of a friend. They find strength in this kindness.

They experiment with shapes, looking however they please. Sometimes they enjoy looking like a person, or an animal, or even a motorcycle. Being a bike is a tiring but freeing way to exercise. They have a leather jacket, upon which they have buttons for the teams that they visit. In human form, they often like to have a pompadour or a high ponytail.

While on the road, Pudge saw a classified ad asking for a tutor for a player on the Charleston Shoe Thieves. Being one who not only plays Blaseball but has a pre-game ritual of reading theory, Pudge jumped at the opportunity. As it turns out, Esme Ramsey had posted the ad for a tutor for Velasquez “Twofer” Alstott (who is often a child, and very much in need of tutoring). This gave Pudge the opportunity to meet new people and continue to play Blaseball.

They have tried several different kinds of shoes that they stole with the help of the Shoe Thieves, their favorite being a blue and yellow pair of Doc Martains that they stole from Tillman Henderson. They don’t really enjoy stealing shoes, so they usually leave behind better shoes than the ones they take (with the exception of Tillman’s shoes, they have a friendly rivalry).

While on the Shoe Thieves, they formed a friendly biker gang with some of the team members called the “Wheels of Fortune.” Members of the biker gang are Pudge Nakamoto, Tillman Henderson, Velasquez “Twofer” Alstott and Gunther O’Brien. Twofer rides in the sidecar of Tillman’s motorcycle. Gunther’s mech transforms into a motorcycle.

Pudge loves having the team over for sleepovers. Most weekends, there is a party of rotating guests who join in. Sometimes, friends from Pudge’s past will visit.

Pudge has remained friends with Jessica Telephone. They met when Jessica Telephone crash landed on Pudge’s house (then located on fourth base) when Pudge played for the Mints. They remain good friends, and Pudge frequently sends Jessica postcards while on the road.

It goes like this:

• Nakamoto was incinerated. Velasquez Alstott got their jacket. (I give express permission for someone else to rewrite this section entirely if they want; I'm not terribly satisfied with the result and also am not a Shoe Thief.)
• The Spies in the Hall might have been the ones to point out that Roaming would be a great cover story for sneaking out with some coded messages.
• They performed perfectly respectably when playing for the Spies.
• Nakamoto did some pranks in malls with Bennett Bluesky (fellow former Shoe Thief) and Quack Enjoyable.

• Nakamoto bonded with Denzel Scott about also having to have a good long think about their identity after their Friend/Normal American guises (respectively) got shattered.
