Talk:Ziwa Mueller

Ziwa is mentioned in two updates to Seraph's IRMs.

Musician Seraph: "After spending several seasons resisting the siren call of other teams and new musical cultures to explore, Seraph got into a record nine-hour-long debate/conversation/argument/emotional catharsis with Ziwa Mueller about the history of punk music. [...] Seraph happily went about befriending the Canada Moist Talkers, in particular Mueller and fellow punk rocker Randy Dennis. The trio and various other Moist Talkers members have had a number of bands, most of which are now defunct. Even following its transition to the shadows and Mueller’s transfer to Yellowstone, Seraph joyfully continued making music in Canada."

Replica Seraph: "Now in the shadows, rep has decided to make the most of repli time and has vowed to have new experiences. Rep is often joined by Randy Dennis, Jenkins Good, and Ziwa Mueller on reps adventures, which have included skydiving, scuba diving, cave diving, racecar driving, and trying to find the perfect pet to adopt."

The below notes cover Ziwa's time in Yellowstone between the season 22 elections and their redaction in season 24.

Joining the Yellowstone Magic

Ziwa’s initial move to Yellowstone was a bit rocky. In their desire to help they ran into many “fish out of water” mishaps; misfiling Eizabeth Elliot’s research notes, volunteering a bit too often with the Park Services and leaving themself overextended, and rearranging Bevan Wise’s spell component storeroom. But the move was made easier by the presence of Jesús Koch, who roamed to the team two seasons prior to Ziwa’s arrival. Their roles on the team were now reversed—it was up to Jesús to help Ziwa settle into their new team, repayment for them helping Jesús when he joined the Moist Talkers.

During one of their many calls to the Moist Talkers, Eugenia Garbage reminded Ziwa that they were allowed to take time off and relax, and to ease into their new life in the Parkpark. Taking the suggestion to heart, Ziwa has been taking a step back from leadership roles. They have been enjoying hikes through the Parkpark and sharing campfire stories of their time in Sunken Halifax with their new team. While initially a bit hesitant to begin studying magic, they have begun to dabble in wayfinding. They also have a growing friendship with Washer Barajas, who introduced them to sulfur pool baths.

Mueller is seen by some of their teammates to be a leader if not an adopted parent. They are known to be forthright, opinionated and often willing to provide advice to those in need. This often causes them to run afoul of team troublemaker Greer Lott, leading to the two often butting heads. In an interview with the Halifax gazette, Lott claimed “Ziwa is really the glue of the Moist Talkers, sticky, unpleasant and always on my back”. Despite these claims there seems to be a begrudging unspoken respect between the two.

After the events of Ruby Tuesday Mueller began to take an even more active role on the team, apparently taking on the duties of the now incinerated members. This attitude continued for several seasons as Mueller further overextended themselves by taking a lead in the training, fitness regimes and cleanup of various sections of Gleek Arena. This pattern was only halted due to the intervention of teammate Eugenia Garbage who helped Mueller ease off from their duties and gain a more healthy relationship with Blaseball as a whole.
