Tot Clark/IF-67.192
Tot Clark is an immortal who has been living for an unknown amount of time. When asked how long, ze simply said “a long time.” However, ze is most known for hir sculptures rather than hir lengthy history, as ze picked up the art around the start of the 1900s and has since been seen in smaller art circles across the world.
Ze is never seen in public without bandages on, ranging from just around hir arms to covering hir entire body, including hir lower face. Ze is married to Luis Acevedo of the Baltimore Crabs, and is rumoured to have something to do with their resurrection in the late 1990s. Nothing on the subject has been confirmed by either of them.
History in Sculpture
According to an interview with Clark, ze picked up sculpture in 1898, after an incident involving Thomas Dracaena and Luis Acevedo that none of the three have gone into detail about. Most of hir older pieces are either lost to time or kept in hir home; when asked if ze had any plans to show them publicly, ze simply stated “no, thanks.”
Some of hir most recent pieces are kept in local Seattle museums, including a painted sculpture of an extinct flower that ze cited as a collaboration with hir husband. Due to complications involving hir sculptures of animals, people, or anything that could be construed as possibly “sentient,” the only pieces on public display are those of plants or inanimate, ordinary objects.
These previously mentioned complications are the tendency for Clark’s sculptures of those subjects to “come alive” once they are finished. Pieces that do this are now roaming free, housed in the Big Garage, or, in the case of a collection of around ten two-inch tall kitten statues, found in Clark’s pockets and in hir hair. Reported living statues that have been seen wild in Seattle and Baltimore include (but are not limited to):
- Several crabs, of varying colors and species
- A slightly larger than average wolf with flowers carved into its fur
- Three birds, living together on the roof of the Big Garage, or seen on Betsy Trombone’s shoulder
Clark has been known to trade carefully made doll furniture with Montgomery Bullock in exchange for crochet dolls of hir teammates. A recorded statement from Jaylen Hotdogfingers states that she’s “pretty sure ze does it to [mess] with [them]” and that “it’s one of the most things ze’s done of all time, for sure.”
When asked if ze still had time to do sculpture while playing Blaseball, ze held up hands with traces of dry clay on them, and also said that “the Garages rotation is long enough to have enough time to do whatever [ze] wants.”Tot Clark/IF-74.602
Tot Clark has been seen several times throughout the past thousands of years; people matching hir description have been noted in interviews or identified, after the invention of them, in photographs stretching the course of decades. Throughout this time, hir appearance has not changed much besides the style of clothing shifting to match the time. The origin of hir immortality is unknown, supposedly even to hir.
One mostly-constant is Clark’s wearing of bandages, which has been explained by them as a “comfort” and “because of sensory issues” to hir teammates. Ze cited former teammate and long-time partner Luis Acevedo with helping hir put them on, and when asked who did it while the Baltimore Crabs ascended, ze struggled to answer before simply shrugging.
Another constant in history regarding Clark is hir formerly mentioned partner, Luis Acevedo. Most photographs documented include both of them, and Clark’s stories regarding hir past often involve Acevedo as well. Since Acevedo’s trade to the Baltimore Crabs, ze’s been seen often in Baltimore, using the long Garages pitching rotation schedule to hir full advantage. Records show that when Acevedo was traded to the Worms for a season, Clark co-signed for ownership of a house in Ohio. These records have since mysteriously gone missing.
Coffee Cup and Siesta
Clark was a lineup player for the FWXBC during the Coffee Cup, and cited hir ability to bat to practice with Malik Destiny and Acevedo during the occasional Garages practice. When Clark hit a single or walked to first, some Crabs fans in the stands yelled “eye of light, future sight,” Acevedo’s chant, in memory of them. When asked about this, ze said that ze “[appreciated] it, although it [was] a little too loud.”
It is rumoured that before every game against the Pandemonium Artists, Clark got into fights with Pandemonium player Haunt Wednesday, fulfilling hir pregame ritual and confirming the theory that ghosts do, in fact, have bones.
After the Coffee Cup, Clark’s appearances in public lowered to a near-never frequency. However, most of hir teammates say that they saw hir at some point or another; one former Garage claimed that “it isn’t hir fault you’re all incompetent, ze’s not exactly subtle.” The validity of this statement has yet to be confirmed.
Most of Clark’s documented appearances were at the telescope to Up, accompanying fellow teammate Oliver Notarobot. It is speculated that the two had gotten closer in the loss of their loved one(s) to Ascension, although neither of them have made a statement on it.
Post Season 12
After the Crabs came down from Ascension in Season 12, Tot Clark was once again seen making full use of the almost entire week ze got between pitching games to spend time with hir partner in Baltimore. This time spent in the city of Carcinization led to hir gaining an interest in the transformation, eventually growing partial chitin armor, centralized around hir forearms and shoulders. It does not appear to interfere with the bandages, and when asked if this bothered hir in any way, ze said that it “helped a lot, actually. It’s nice. The Big Garage kind of looks at me weird now. Do I smell like Crab?”
Acevedo has expressed both amusement and happiness at the concept that their husband now matches them.
When the Grind Rail was installed in various stadiums, Clark expressed disappointment at not being able to skate on it. Eventually, Oliver Mueller was seen taking hir to the Big Garage after dark, and teaching hir how to skateboard on the rail despite there being no practical use for it.
