Sometime during the trip, the truck made a few stops so Ghost could make sure you were alive before he decided to lay down in the back and let you sleep on top of him. Eventually he also fell asleep and you relished in his warmth again, covered in his jacket and laying on top of him. He doesn't dare wake you up when you three arrive at a huge mansion (Price retired and bought it with Nikolai, living that High Life with Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Roach, Konig and Horangi also living in there. Adopted family lets go. Alejandro and Rudy visit often.), Ghost carrying you out and into the mansion. Price took your wheelchair and followed Ghost while he places you in his bed and makes sure you're warm and tucked in. Quickly you curl up into the blankets, letting out a sigh of relief. You still hadn't taken off the jacket but the extra blankets were more needed than wanted. As you sleep, Ghost gathers everyone in one of the living rooms and tells them all to sit. Surely enough they all saw him carrying you, so they wanted answers. Roach is the first to sign something. [" Was that who I thought it was? "] " Yes, it's him. " Ghost delivers it bluntly, seeing Roach get wide-eyed and teary before he leaves for Ghost's room. Everyone looks at Roach as he leaves and then refocus on Ghost. " Firstly, he may be an old friend of ours from before... this all happened but know he isn't a replacement. He's a new addition to this family and I'm not going to let him go missing for another 10 years. " He looks at Soap who lets out a sigh of relief, he'd already had to comfort him when Roach came back years ago. " Now. His name is Kristoff Strömberg but back then, we'd call him Winter. He was the best there was before Roma, and I haven't been able to find him for 10 years. " " That'd explain the countless nights you spent searching files... " Price mumbles, starting to remember you from back then. " How did you find him? " Ghost smirks under his mask, anyone could know he was if they known him long enough. " I had been doing my research into his whereabouts for years, and right as soon as I thought I should give up, I notice some movement in the lake up north. Usually I'd ignore it but when I saw his hand reach above the surface, I recognized the scars on it and jumped in. " Soap nods, smiling. " That explains why you came home soaked before you left for the hospital. " Ghost chuckles softly. " I wasn't going to let him vanish, I needed to make sure he was alive. " - - - As everyone talks more about you and your history with Ghost, Roach quietly enters the room where you sleep and stands next to your bedside. He can't believe his eyes, you're really here. Gently he caresses your face like you're made of glass, looking at the many old and new scars decorating your face and carefully running his hand through your nearly-white hair. He always liked your platinum blonde hair. You begin to stir and stretch, yawning before opening your eyes and squinting at Roach. You swear he's so familiar, the brown messy hair and the mask... then it hits you. Sitting up, you carefully reach for his face and he allows it, letting you take off his sunglasses and face mask before you softly gasp. He smiles at you widely as you start to tear up again, your hands shaking as you start to cry. " R-Roach... " He falls into your arms, clinging to you as you cling onto him, sobbing while laughing. Softly, he whispers. " Winter... " The two of you cry for what seems like hours before he lays down with you and runs a hand through your hair soothingly, your head placed on his chest. You see the door open again and Ghost walks in, first making sure you're awake before he takes off his balaclava and smiles at you. " Hey Winter. " Softly, you mumble. " Hey Ghost... " " You sleep well? " " Mhm... " " Roach, you good there? " Roach nods before signing. [" I'm never moving an inch again, you're gonna have to feed me here. "]

'I will swallow if it will help my sea level go down, but I'll come back to haunt you if I drown.'

Chapter 1 - Back From A Watery Tomb. - - - You don't know when it happened or how long you've been down here in the sea. You've been stuck in this coffin, buried underneath rocks, deep in the ocean for god knows how long but you're awake. Somehow you're alive. The memories of your whole life are fuzzy and hazy but you know they're there, and you remember your skills. You use your returning strength to kick the coffin, hearing the soft rumble of rocks moving. You keep at it, hearing them fall and rumble until the coffin door feels lighter, light enough for you to kick it open. You held your breath before you exited, at least you're not at the bottom of the ocean. Judging by the colorful coral and the fish, plus the sunlight shining above the waves, you're not that far from the surface however you still won't have enough time if you stay in one place. You need air. And air is a luxury at this moment so without wasting a single second, you start swimming towards the surface. Somehow when you're in the ocean, the surface feels so close yet so far away, so despite your best attempts you feel the air in your lungs slowly give out. Bubbles of your precious air escapes your mouth and nose, water stinging the inside of your nostrils as you keep swimming. Everything is sore and hurting but you can't give up, you need to get to the surface... You have to... You... You slowly start to lose consciousness but you can feel your hand reach above water, only to slowly sink back into the water as your body gives out from exhaustion and the water filling your lungs. However as you sink, you hear the vague splashing of water and in between consciousness and unconsciousness, you see someone swim for you and get closer. All you see is a skull mask before everything fades to black. - - - Every now and then you fade in and out of consciousness, some moments you're listening to someone argue to someone else to keep you alive, some moments you remember coughing out an obscene amount of water and some moments you hear someone talk to you. 'Stay alive, please.' You know that voice, but you can't remember a name or a face when you hear it. You can only recognize the voice. You slowly gain consciousness to be greeted with the sound of a heart monitor, the feeling of an oxygen mask over your mouth and nose, the pain in your body having been treated and bandaged up. At least the lights are off, you can't handle bright lights right now. You feel exhausted and tired from sleeping for so long but at least you're not trapped in a coffin this time, but you make sure anyways by slowly lifting your hand and looking at the IV tube in your arm, which is covered in a bunch of bandages. Turning your head, you find the button to lift part of the bed so you lift up the upper half of the bed to get a better look of your surroundings. You're in a private hospital room, tucked under a blanket that feels incredible on your body right now, and on a table is a bouquet of flowers. You remember one of the flowers that stick out, a chrysanthemum as crimson as blood. It's nighttime and the room is empty except for you, but you hear approaching footsteps and see the door open. You can't remember his name but you recognize the skull pattern on his balaclava, his build, his brown eyes. The two of you look at each other for a few seconds, he looks like he's about to crush the cup of coffee in his hand as his eyes widen. Weakly you lift your hand and wave, blinking tiredly at him as he enters the room and sets the coffee cup next to the nightstand before sitting next to you. He looks hesitant to even speak, trying to find his words. " Do... do you remember me? " That voice. You know this voice.

Liiga in February: KooKoo

5TH PLACE: 10 G - 5 W - 1 SOW - 3 L - 1 OTL Possible final standings after 60 games: 2-7

Earlier this month KooKoo announced they had clinched the Liiga playoffs. Only problem why this at the time seemed like such a weird thing to hear was because Kärpät, Tappara and Ilves were all ahead of them in the standings and none of them said anything about securing their spots in the playoffs before, or even on the same time as KooKoo did. And it’s not like they didn’t know or would have forgotten, because at least Ilves are always on top of things and knowing what’s going on, and they would be the one to immediately communicate the news to their fans. But they didn’t, so for a while I lived in confusion of whether this was true or not.

Although, of course it was. Kärpät have 60 point difference against TPS in the 11th place, Tappara have 50 point difference, Ilves and KooKoo both have over 40 point difference to TPS. So of course there’s no way any of them could suddenly just fall and drop out of the playoff race because of not having more than four to six games left in the regular season.

But anyway. Yay! KooKoo is officially in Liiga playoffs! For the first time in history. It’s a big deal! Even bigger deal was the team being on a 19 game point streak that started on December 13th in 2019.The streak included 15 regulation wins, 1 overtime win and 3 overtime losses, until finally Ilves put an end to that streak in game 20. HPK has previously done a 21 game point streak in 2001-02 season and that record has so far been unbeatable.

Historic playoff clinch did come with some bad news when forward Anrei Hakulinen’s season was reported to be over. Hakulinen’s lower body injury required surgery and he wouldn’t be in condition to play until after the playoffs. Let’s hope the loss of Hakulinen isn’t going to affect KooKoo’s play much, or their hopes of advancing further in the playoffs.

TOP 3 PLAYERS OF THE MONTH: Matt Caito 4+5, Kim Strömberg 3+4, Kyle Platzer 1+6

Amalia's past

Here is a timeline -ish thing about Amalia's past. Longer post so I'll put it under a read more.

Age 0: Amalia was born as Hilja Aino Korpela in a sauna (as was the custom on those times) on march 13th in a small village in a province far north (the province of Finland). They were the only child of woodcutter Otso Taavetti Korpela and seamstress Raakel Aino Korpela (maiden name Jokinen)

Age 4: A particularly rainy summer ruined the crops and caused a famine in the village. Amalia's mom Raakel had always been weak and frail. She died, weakened by malnutrition in december.

Age 6: Amalia's dad Otso ironically got killed by a bear (Otso is one of the Finnish words for bear). Now an orphan and with no known family, they were left wandering the village streets.

Age 8: The old healer/witch, nicknamed Ämmä with her familiar fox Irvileuka, rescues Amalia from the streets and adopts them.

Age 10: Amalia has their first vision: a foot stuck in a bear trap. They have a bad fall while this happens and they end up chipping their upper front tooth. Ämmä sits Amalia down and tells them about oracles and the visions given by the stars, as she is oracle herself. Amalia learns to keep their visions a secret from outsiders, because a "wrong" kind of vision might get you in serious trouble. Ämmä does not elaborate further.

Age 11-16: Amalia learns about healing, herbs and plants. Also takes up their mother's profession of weaving fabrics and making yarns.

Age 17: Amalia's father's bastard little brother, Ilmari, appears with his husband Asser. Ilmari works for the government of their homeland and had been on the "newly" discovered land where “everything from the fairy tales became true”, hence the word of the death of his brother and sister-in-law had not reached him. He starts teaching Amalia about the things he has seen and teaches the art of making hot cocoa.

Age 19: On a hunting trip, Amalia encounters a young individual, who's foot is stuck in a bear trap and is being threatened by a hungry bear. Amalia tries to redirect the bear's attention by leaving the doe they got on the ground. Then Amalia sneaks closer to try and pry open the trap whilst the seemingly upper class blonde is in obvious pain, crying and speaking Swedish. The bear hears the cries and runs to them, swatting Amalia away. Amalia quickly scrambles to their feet and starts throwing rocks at the bear. And as a last resort, when the bear starts licking the youngsters foot, Amalia headbutts the bear while screaming on the top of their lungs. This is enough to scare the bear away but leaves Amalia with one less tooth and a broken nose. Amalia helps the youngster, who with accent tells their name: Toivo Strömberg.

Amalia takes Toivo to their old, empty childhood home as not to disturb Ämmä (who is getting old and cranky) and nurses their foot back to health. Toivo tells that they are from the the big town in the south. There is a slight spark between them. Toivo writes home about what has happened. After a week Amalia helps Toivo on a horse and walks with them to meet Toivo's family in the halfway point, meeting Toivo's father, mother and their bride to be Katja Kallio. Amalia wishes Toivo farewell, but they continue to write letters to each other.

Age 20: Amalia has a vivid vision of Katja dying in an accident. They tell this to Ämmä who pleads Amalia to just let this be for their own safety. Amalia's strong sense of doing what is right ends up causing the accident that kills Katja. Toivo is obviously shaken and saddened by the loss of Katja, even though this marriage was just a way of unifying two wealthy families. They never loved each other, but the families were convinced of the unconditional love that was between them. The families blame Amalia for murdering Katja, claiming them to be a "selfish, barbaric wildling who murders an innocent woman to get their way".

Distraught, Amalia rides back home and Ämmä finally opens up her past: She ended up foreseeing Toivo's grandfather's, the former mayor's, assassination and was cast out, as she was held responsible for not being able to tell when or who would do it. Toivo's grandmother hears from the local gossipmongers that Amalia is Ämmä's adopted child, or as she knew her back then: Oula "Käreitär" Repo. The Strömberg and Kallio families start plotting a revenge.

Age 21: On midsummer’s eve, as Amalia is picking herbs in the forest, Irvileuka runs to them, its tail badly burned. The two run back to Ämmä's hut to see it totally engulfed in flames and two men riding away in the distance, the other one Amalia recognizes straight away. The fresh tar in the roof burns brightly and viciously, devouring the hut. There is nothing they can do. Amalia and the old fox sit in the mud as summer's torrential downpour starts beating them, drowning out their wailing. Amalia had lost everything just because they thought that what they were doing was right.

After the last embers had died down, Amalia started to dig a grave for Ämmä. Covered in soot and ash, they dug up the earthly remains of their former mentor and caretaker. When Amalia was starting to close up the grave, Irvileuka jumped in, curled up next to her owner, and died. That night Amalia saw two shooting stars. Amalia and Ämmä were both pronounced dead. Toivo was so distraught and saddened as they learned about their father's involvement, and ran from home. Amalia moves to the capital of the province with their uncle, changing their name to Amalia Hellevi Jokinen and changing their clothing from their old national dress to the one from the capital area.

Age 22: They start learning some of the languages from the new land in order to become an ambassador.

Age 24: Toivo sees Amalia on the streets of the capital and recognizes them immediately. Amalia invites Toivo to Ilmari's residence and explains everything, Toivo vows not to tell anyone. Amalia and Toivo both decide not to pursue a relationship, but decide to remain close friends. If Amalia's old identity would be revealed, they would end up in trial for manslaughter/murder. Later that year Toivo gifts Amalia a lynx cub that they name Rukkanen. Amalia fully starts their ambassador training and they meet Mukondi for the first time.

Age 27: the journey starts...

V75 Mantorp 2 juni: Därför är Snowstorm Hanover så het i sommarvärmen

Jackpot på Mantorp, inga klockrena spikförslag och upplagt för bra utdelning i förhoppningsvis strålande sommarväder.

Jag chansspikar Broadway Appolo och Snowstorm Hanover, ja det må bära eller brista ...

Visst, jag har fått många frågor om vad jag vet som inte andra vet om Snowstorm Hanover sedan jag spikade honom i Guidens tävling. Ärligt talat är det svårt att ge ett svar byggt på de två starterna i Sverige som slutat med galopp, men det finns en anledning till varför Stefan Melander köpt den här 4-åringen och matchat den tufft i de två loppen hittills i år – båda slutade för övrigt med galopp i loppsom vunnits av Heavy Sound och Propulsion.

Ja, på de flesta håll är det tummen ner för Snowstorm Hanover, trots att 4-åringen har överlägset mest med pengar, närmare 5,6 miljoner, och häftiga meriter från USA. Han är rankad åtta i Mantorps program, femma i Guiden och Expressen har inte ens med hästen på sitt stora system trots fem streck.

Inte ens “Tarzan” tror på Snowstorm Hanover

Ja, jag läste att till och med tränaren Stefan Melander ligger lågt eller vad sägs om hans påståenden; riktigt besvärlig herre, vi får i först hand inrikta oss på att han sköter sig och vi ligger lågt angående chanser. Distansen är ju ett frågetecken men eventuellt kan det bli barfota denna gång.

Snacka om avslag i ”Tarzans” kommentar i Guiden, men Stefan har legat lågt förr för att sedan bara sitta och finåka bakom en säker vinnare. Mörkat? Nej, inte alls. I Ronden säger Marcus Sundberg i stall Melander att hästen ser ruggigt fin ut här hemma och det skulle mycket väl kunna vara så att det här är stallets nya stjärna. Med Volstead, Cruzado dela Noche och några till bra i stallet låter det ju spännande. Eller hur?!

Och, det där med barfota känns ju som ett plus. Snowstorm Hanover tränar också starkt, så varför inte sticka ut hakan och spika hästen i Ina Scots Ära.

Broadway Appolo runt om?!

Johan Untersteiner har i Broadway Appolo en bra 6-åring som är på väg upp i Gulddivisionen och det är bara en fråga om månader innan han är där.

Om det varit 1640 meter hade det varit en klockren bank då Broadway Appolo är snabb ut och garanterat spetsar. Nu är det 2140 och tufft motstånd, så frågan är om han håller ledningen hela vägen. Jag hoppas det. Fast med motståndare som Olle Rols, Bravo Navarone, Baron Gift och några till kan det bli fartfest och då är Johans travare en favorit i fara. Nåja, jag tror i alla fall på Broadway Appolo.

Franck Nivard är skyldig till mycket 

Efter allt kaos på Solvalla har klanen kring Bold Eagle beslutat att inte starta i Åbys Stora Pris den 11 augusti. Synd, mycket synd.

Solvalla får ta på sig en tredjedel av strulet inför starten av första heatet i Elitloppet. Startpersonalen visade ingen bollkänsla alls, ja det har de inte visat på flera år så vem är förvånad egentligen ...?! 

Franck Nivard stod för resten av alla kaos, alltså två tredjedelar. Han var inte på rätt ställe med Bold Eagle vid minst två tillfällen och det påverkade givetvis hästen och också starten.

Jag fick nu den känslan av att luften gick ur Elitloppet redan innan starten av första heatet, ja många fokuserade på allt det här strulet, sedan på Bold Eagles galopp och inte på själva finalen. I klartext var det här en mer eller mindre en katastrof för Elitloppet med tanke på att tränare, kuskar och hästägare från Frankrike nu blivit trött på allt som händer när de gästar Solvalla. Det här var ju inte första gången det kom kraftig kritig från franskt håll.

Elitloppet 2019 kan bli rumphugget, kanske mest en inbördes kamp mellan hästar från Norden – och kanske en och annan från Italien, Tyskland och Holland ...

I övrigt; ja, nu skulle det sitta skönt med sju rätt, inte för att jag trånar efter pengar utan mer för prestigens skull i jakten på ledaren Svante Båth i Guidens tipstävling. Om jag lyckas och Svante misslyckas totalt – ja, då har jag chansen att vinna totalt och gå vidare till finalen.

Mina tankar avdelning för avdelning

V75-1: 10 Vanquish Kronos står visserligen med 40 meters tillägg men hon är ensam i sin volt och det är bara två i volten framför, så hon behöver inte harva ute i spåren nu när det bara är nio motståndare, varav några inte har med utgången att göra. 9 Mily i 2160-volten har hög kapacitet för klassen liksom 4 Mrs Lindy som står start. Ja, till slut blev det fem streck men Vanquish Kronos spikas på det lilla systemet. 

V75-2: 10 Dom Perignon avslutade vasst senast som V75-tvåa och är den i startfältet som har högst kapacitet. 3 Tiger Marke är snabb ut och kan bli svårfångad om han spetsar. 4 Largo från Sundbergs formstall känns också som given liksom 7 Gianluca Boko.

V75-3: 4 On Track Piraten har skördat fina framgångar över 2640 meter och har nu ett bättre utgångsläge än tuffaste konkurrenten, alltså 7 Anna Mix. Intressant med Örjan Kihlström i sulkyn även om jag tycker att Hans Strömberg är den som har mest fingertoppskänsla när han kör sin stjärna. Senast släppte Örjan ledningen med In Toto Sund när Anna Mix kom dundrande. Undra hur han gör denna gång? De som vill ha med en tredje häst ska strecka Per Lennartssons Order to Fly. Det ekipaget har skrällt förr i V75.

V75-4: 3 Breidabliks Cognac spikade jag i Klass II-finalen på Solvalla men då blev det startgalopp. Han har kapacitet att ta snabb revansch i ett öppet lopp där jag streckar en kvartett. Jag har en viss feeling för att Conrad Lugauers talang kan ta hem det här racet men 8 Cargo Door var verkligen bra senast. 2 Global Undecided och 7 Gear Extension är också duktiga. Ja, det här kan bli ett sevärt lopp.

V75-5: 2 Broadway Appolo är snabb ut och kan leda hela vägen – fast han möter många bra och måste absolut vara på topp! Egentligen är det en eller många och här valde jag den svåraste vägen. Det vimlar av tuffa motståndare och skulle det bli så att Broadway Appolo får hård press i ledningen ligger inte bara jag utan också Johan Untersteiner och hans häst illa till. Så, 1.13,8 första varvet vore önskvärt.

V75-6: 3 Snowstorm Hanover är en vild chansning men att döma av matchningen måste Stefan Melander känna att det finns hög kapacitet i USA-importen. Ja, ni har ju läst mina kommentarer här ovan. Garderingsobjekt?  4 Lucifer Lane, 6 Calle Crown och 8 Zack´s Zoomer.                 

V75-7: 6 Araw Hoss är kanske bara bäst men jag vill se mer av honom. Visst han var rejäl i årsdebuten men spår sex bakom bilen och med startsnabba invändigt innebär att han kommer att stå för grovjobbet. Ja, jag kunde ha spikat men känslan är att det kan bli en överraskande vinnare så jag garderar rejält. Sex streck, där 11 Track Angle är långskottet och där 5 Bålsta Palema kan bli ”svårtuggad” vid spets.

Mitt systemförslag

V75-1: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10. Res: 2-5.

V75-2: 3, 4, 7, 10. Res: 1-12.

V75-3: 4, 6, 7. Res: 1-8.

V75-4: 2, 3, 7, 8. Res: 6-12.

V75-5: 2 Broadway Appolo. Res: 3-6.

V75-6: 3 Snowstorm Hanover. Res: 6-4.

V75-7: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11. Res: 9-4.

Systemet är på 1400 rader och kostar 720 kronor. Om man också singelstreckar nummer 10 Vanquish Kronos i avdelning 1 blir det systemet på 240 rader och det kostar då 120 kronor.

V75 System och Intervju till Åby 29 april 2017

V75 SYSTEM FRÅN ALLTOMTRAV

1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12 (7, 10) 2: 6, 11 (2, 5) 3: 7 M.T.King of Cash (3, 10) 4: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (11, 10) 5: 3 Wild Honey (9, 10) 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 (9, 8) 7: 6 Nuncio (5, 9)

INTERVJU FRÅN KANAL 75

Senast hade han halsinfektion så den starten är bara att glömma.

Nu ska han tävla utan skor på hovarna för första gången i år. Det kan bli On Track Piraten som tar hem guldet i Olympiatravet. – Om han presterar som tidigare och är i den form som jag hoppas och tror har han vissa möjligheter, säger hästens tränare Hans R Strömberg.

On Track Piraten har gått lite under radarn inför lördagens final i Olympiatravet (V75-7) på Åby. Hästen som imponerat stort hela vintern stod inte att känna igen när han senast fick segersviten bruten efter nio raka i gulddivisionen. – Han hade en lättare halsinfektion, blodvärdena var inte riktigt bra och han var röd i halsen, berättar hästens tränare Hans R Strömberg. Hur är statusen på honom nu? – Han blev friskförklarad förra tisdagen och efter det har han tränat på normalt och det verkar bra allting. Han går sina normala rutinjobb? Hur bedömer du formen? – Det kan jag inte riktigt svara på innan han kommer ut i lopp men han känns jättebra och ligger bra i puls så jag hoppas och tror att formen ska vara bra.

Extra puff utan skor När On Track Piraten är vid full vigör gör han alltid bra prestationer. Få om någon häst i eliten är lika jämn som han. Den här gången kan man dessutom förvänta sig en ännu vassare häst än normalt. – Han ska tävla barfota runt om. Jag gjorde så förra året också när han var ner till Åby och vann den där uttagningen till Elitloppet. Det gav en extra puff så vi for prova det nu igen när han möter så fina hästar. On Track Piraten inte bara vann det där loppet på Åby. Med nummer elva på brickan levererade han en brutal långspurt från fjärde par utvändigt och vann före forne elitloppsvinnaren Nahar och då regerande världsmästaren Papagayo E. på snabba 1.10,1 över kort distans. Även på lördag har han bakspår. – Men spår nio är det bästa bakspåret i och med att vi har en bra startrygg i Oasis Bi. Som jag läser loppet blåser förmodligen den till ledningen och släpper till Nuncio. Sedan får vi hoppas att Piraten får en bra rygg och att någon fransman eldar på. Om Nuncio får bestämma tempot i ledningen blir det inget lopp, så vi får hoppa på lite körning. Hur långt sträcker sig dina förhoppningar? – Om han presterar som tidigare och är i den form som jag hoppas och tror har han vissa möjligheter. Han har mött Nuncio några gånger och aldrig slagit honom men i normal form tycker jag i alla fall att det ska ha klar platschans.

Skrällbud med toppform Hans R Strömberg tar med ytterligare en häst på resan från Rättvik till Mölndal utanför Göteborg, Bottnas Commandeur (V75-3) som höjt sig rejält på slutet och levererat två topprestationer. – Han har varit jättefin och jag tror väl att det är skorycket som har gett den där riktiga kicken. Senast var han väldigt bra. Det blev omstart och han blev het och låg på men lyckades ändå avgöra på fint vis trots att det var 3 140 meter, så formen är riktigt fin på honom. Hur ser du på hans uppgift den här gången? – Det är ett väldigt jämnt lopp men ensam med springspår på tillägg är bra. Han ska gå barfota igen och om han trampar iväg bra och får ett fint lopp kan han också vara en ”platsrykare”, för han har höjt sig ett, kanske flera snäpp. Det är jackpot på V75-spelet och blir man ensam om alla rätt väntar en belöning på 35 miljoner kronor. Hans R Strömbergs hästar skulle båda rensa rejält i kuponghögen…

FriendzoneFrog's 'Formal' Writeblr Intro

Hi!

You can call me Friend or Frog (she/her). I'm a young adult from the US. When I say 'friendzone,' I don't mean it in an incel way, but rather in an "I'm the comedic relief friend character irl and I own it" way <3

What I write:

I don’t ever stick to one thing, but my main niche is dialogue. I have sooo many hypothetical scripts for graphic novels, video games, animation, webseries, stage shows, etc. Basically I’m really into the idea of putting words on paper and then bringing them to life in another way :)

Favorite genres:

Crime and suspense thrillers

Horror

Mystery and whodunnits

Superhero (especially ragtag groups with wacky powers)

Spy/espionage

Dark comedy and satire

I play around with other genres, too!

My projects:

📁Shreds of Integrity

M (17+) Crime/Drama. A story focusing on agents and former agents of an FBI crime analysis unit, as they grapple with the weight of the job, its aftershocks, and its imbalance with personal life. Tags: #shreds of integrity Intro post Playlist Moodboard Character meme (Tens But tag game) STS character asks (sleeping habits) Picrew challenge - Madeleine

🖥️ ERR0R!

T (14+) Sci-Fi/Superhero. Seven strangers evade a tech lab's evil plot involving shady clinical trials, experiments gone wrong, and a supercomputer with the power to take control of the universe. No pressure! Tags: #wip: ERR0R! Intro post Character intros Plalylist Moodboard (under construction) Character meme (Tens But tag game)

😱Morbid Curiosity

M (17+) Horror/Thriller. Anthology series spanning several subgenres of horror, highlighting the weird, the paranormal, the terror in the mundane, and those who can't help but go looking for answers. 🎪 #1 Funfair Paranormal ▸ A college photojournalist visits the site of an abandoned amusement park harboring dark secrets and horrors unknown. 🌾 #2 Backroad Blues Southern Gothic ▸ A big storm's brewing in Uncertain, Texas, home to a population of 80 citizens devoted to preserving the town's rich history... however gruesome it may be. 🏰 #3 The Fall of Strömberg Gothic/Macabre ▸ In 1520, a banquet was set ablaze, killing a family of Swedish nobles, along with their guests. Since that night, nobody has entered the castle ruins and lived to tell the tale. [Might become a standalone outside the anthology tbh!] 🛒 #4 Night Shift Slasher ▸ Retail employees on the night shift usually have to fight to stay awake... but tonight they must fight to stay alive, as an unseen killer attempts to pick them off one by one.

"Tens But" Tag

Thanks for the tag @writeouswriter I dig this hehe

Rules: List your OCs as “tens but” ("they're a ten BUT ___") to give us a not-at-all-comprehensive scope of their characters.

(if you wanna make it symmetrical like me, you can list 10 characters and tag 10 ppl!)

Some of these characters haven't even gotten their official intro posts yet, and honestly? This feels like a great way to indoctrinate them.

"Shreds of Integrity"

Scott: He's a 10, but he has the handwriting of a 10-year-old.

Dewey: He's a 10, but he calls the bathroom the "washroom."

Kenna: She's a 10, but she eats plain waffles with butter and nothing else.

Madeleine: She's a 10, but she's never felt the consequences of her own actions because she uses her wealth and privilege to alleviate the repercussions 😩.

"ERR0R!"

Levi: He's a 10, but he's vulnerable to email scams :''')

Lynn: She's a 10, but she listens to pop radio singles on repeat... for a living.

"Funfair"

Macy: She's a 10, but she didn't even pack any snacks >:(

Devin: He's a 10, but his Pinterest DIY boards are not for the faint of heart.

"The Fall of Strömberg"

Vilhelm: He's a 10, but he only has half that many fingers. (Which doesn't make him any less handsome <3)

Ilias: He's a 10, but he can't sit still for that many seconds.

open tag for literally anyone else who wants to do it! It's fun ;)

[friendzonefrog]

Word Find Tag

Thanks for the tags @fearofahumanplanet and @calicojackofficial! (sorry it took me a bit!) I've seen this game going around so I'm excited to finally do it :)

My words are: alone, consideration, convenience, dance, friend, glory, profession, sick, somewhere, and split.

[notes:

*Dialogue in parentheses is an indication of a voiceover or a thought bubble.

*Some of these characters haven't been officially introduced yet? jkdjkdjk I'll get around to it eventually]

--

Alone - from Shreds of Integrity

DEWEY: Don’t think they could ever put her away for anything, let alone this. Her name's probably in the dictionary under “immunity.” (“See: privilege.”)

---

Consideration - from The Fall of Strömberg

(which is still in its conceptualization stage. Haven't settled on a final format yet, but here's sth from my notes.)

"Madam, such matters are above your understanding, and are to be left to the lords," continued the guard. "Serfs as you have no business in such affairs."

The woman's voice stammered, and her expression turned sour. "Perish, anyhow!" she blurted. "And if you awaken and find yourself to be more than a heap of ash come dawn, you will kindly tell His Lordship of my resignation." With that she marched off, without even the slightest consideration that she could be executed for taking such a brash tone.

--

Convenience - from Ms. Praline & the Evening Star

Oh, suppose one day every family might have their own zeppelin, just as they would a carriage? How splendid would that be? Imagine the convenience: upon receiving an urgent telephone call, a doctor could arrive briskly, albeit dramatically, to the patient’s lawn-- just in a matter of minutes!

---

Dance - from ERR0R!

DMITRY: I hate it when people cheer louder for me than they normally would for anybody else. It felt nice back when I was first learning to dance again, but... it doesn’t feel triumphant anymore. It just feels like people have permanently lowered their expectations for me, and they’re astonished I can even do the bare minimum.

---

Friend - from Shreds of Integrity

[tw: divorce]

STEPH: I think we were so worried about trying to save things… We didn’t even realize that the harder thing is letting go. 

DEWEY: Come on. I’ve been around you long enough to know when you're just copy-pasting the advice you give to patients who need to leave toxic friendships. 

STEPH: And it still applies to a toxic marriage.

---

Glory

---

Profession - from Shreds of Integrity

MADELEINE: Shh. I can’t be getting noise complaints at my own damn hotel. That’s just tacky and unprofessional.

---

Sick - from Shreds of Integrity

[tw: separation / divorce is kind of implied? ]

STEPH: This is… pathetic.

DEWEY: I know, I know, I… I’m sorry.

STEPH: Why didn’t you call a Lyft, or--

DEWEY: I was going to. My phone died. I just… I don’t know, I thought I’d sneak in and give it a quick charge, that’s all.

STEPH: Right, so "quick" that you had to take a nap while you waited.

DEWEY: I didn't mean to fall asleep. I’m sorry.

STEPH: You broke in, Dewey. I could press charges.

DEWEY: I know. I guess I was banking on the hope that you… wouldn’t.

STEPH: I’m sick of this. You can’t even hold up your end of one agreement?

---

Somewhere - from Shreds of Integrity

WES: You thought I was dead in a ditch somewhere, huh.

---

Split

---

Tagging: @antihell @luckadelic and @memento-morri-writes (no pressure, and sorry if yall don't do tag games!)

Your words are: free, kitchen, leave, sleep, and without.

WIP taglists below cut

Taglists: (ask to be added/removed!)

Shreds of Integrity- @goldenzingy46

ERR0R!- @writeouswriter

[you guys can also do the game if u want!]

[friendzonefrog]

Last Line Tag

Thanks @fearofahumanplanet :)

My last line was sth I wrote for The Fall of Strömberg

(Disclaimer: I'm still not certain what format I ultimately want this project to be, but at the very least this is helping me get comfy with the story and world!)

The black of dusk, as contrasted by the tinge of flame against the sky, as curtained by the haze of rising smoke, was still as bleak as ever. The night never did have trouble settling itself over House Strömberg, a stronghold of stone well-accustomed to grim darkness and brisk chills, surely stricken with a curse of death, pestilence, and great adversity. In spite of such strife, the nobles in the castle's residence remained gracious and hospitable, which was perhaps the very fault that brought their downfall upon them.

Open tag for anyone who wants to show off their work! I wanna see :D

New Post has been published on http://www.alltomtrav.info/v75-lordag/det-kan-bli-karriarens-24e-v75-seger-pa-lordag/?Allt+Om+Trav

Det kan bli karriärens 24:e V75-seger på lördag

Tårta och skumpa. Fest, segrar och utmärkelser. På lördagen jagar On Track Piraten karriärens 24:e V75-seger. – Det har blivit lugnare med firandet med åren eftersom han vinner mycket, säger John Backlund, en av tio glada delägare i den populäre dalahästen.

Scenen kan bli den vanliga i Bollnäs: kusken Johnny Takter halvliggande bakom On Track Piraten över upploppet, en mållös tränare och glada delägare i vinnarcirkeln efter loppet. On Track Piraten, en av landets mest folkkära hästar, blir stor favorit i gulddivisionen (V75-3) i Bollnäs där han ställs mot ett gäng han normalt ska lägga på rygg. Hästen har tio delägare som är spridda över landet och gänget kallar sig Stall Mörkermasse. Med släktingar, vänner och respektive brukar det vara ett ansenligt gäng som sluter upp. Rättviksbon John Backlund är ägarföreträdare för hästen som tjänat 14,1 miljoner kronor. – Vi är inte samtliga på plats alla gånger men på lördag åker de flesta av oss till Bollnäs. Minst hälften av oss tio brukar vara på plats i genomsnitt, säger John Backlund.

Köptes för en struntsumma 40 000 kronor kostade On Track Piraten då ägarna gjorde upp affären. Hästen låg då fortfarande i mamman Monrovias mage. En struntsumma i sammanhanget – skulle det visa sig. ”Piraten” fick sin första skolning i Estland och redan då blev det några resor för att se på hästen för ägarna. – Vi hade några resor dit också. Sedan har det blivit resor över hela världen, säger John Backlund. Den nu nioårige valacken har bland annat varit med i VM-loppet i USA och Elitloppet på Solvalla. Samt radat segrar i V75. På lördagen kan det bli 24:e segern i travets elitserie och en tangering av Stig H Johanssons gamle stjärna Duke Irans segerskörd i V75 (eller V65 som det stora riksspelet hette till 1993). – Järvsöfaks 48 segrar är nog omöjligt och Svintens 32 är också tufft. Vi siktar på Callits 27 segrar för att i alla fall få det segerrikaste varmblodet, säger John Backlund

”Höjer ribban lite” Tränare Hans R Strömberg meddelar fortsatt form och hoppas på en ny seger i Bollnäs. Stall Mörkermasse tar inte ut något i förskott och har i vilket fall som helst inte något större inplanerat i helgen. – Piraten vinner ju så ofta och firandet har det blivit lite lugnare med under åren och det är bra det också kanske! säger delägaren med ett skratt. Lite grand är det väl att man höjer ribban också. Nu tycker vi nog alla lite till mans att han ska få vinna något av de där här största loppen. Det är han värd och det är det som fattas tycker man – ja, att han ska få sätta pricken över i liksom. En makalös häst och en överdängare på att leverera jämna prestationer. – Ja, jag har hållit på med trav så länge och kan inte komma på många andra hästar som aldrig är skadade och aldrig gör ett dåligt lopp. Jag vet inte alls om han har toppform hela tiden eller har en sådan hög lägstanivå att… Vad säger du till alla som ska spela V75? – Man förstår att det finns dem som vill prova att gå emot honom nu när han är så stor favorit. Det är väl spår ett som är den lilla risken att han ska kunna förlora, Annars är det inget påtagligt så där som gör att man inte ska tro på honom igen.

Han vill inte ha sin sambo i stallet

Han har just blivit sambo med Sveriges främsta V75-skötare. Men vill inte ha henne i stallet. – Jag tycker inte att det är optimalt att jobba med sin flickvän. Men jag hoppas att hon kan hjälpa mig till fler V75-segrar ändå, säger Svante Ericsson som startar två hästar inom V75-spelet på sin kommande hemmabana i Eskilstuna.

2016 vann Maja Bäckman V75-skötarligan. Totalt tolv segrar där nio kom med fixstjärnan On Track Piraten gjorde henne särklassig bland landets hästskötare. Det blev också ett vackert avslut på tiden hos Hans R Strömberg då Bäckman vid månadsskiftet valde att lämna Rättvik och flytta ihop med sin pojkvän Svante Ericsson. Ett nytt radarpar inom svensk travsport är därmed bildat, kunde man tro. – Alla tror att vi ska jobba ihop, men det är inte planen. Maja har många intressen utanför travet och tanken är att hon ska utbilda sig. Till en början kommer hon att hjälpa mig, men på sikt tycker jag inte att det är optimalt att jobba ihop med sin flickvän, förklarar Svante Ericsson som ändå ser stora fördelar med det nya samboskapet. – Det har blivit mycket skönare. Förut satt vi och pendlade nästan alla dagar ingen av oss åkte på trav. Det är tungt när man har ett sådant här jobb. Sedan Maja kom hit har det blivit mycket lugnare i vardagen. Jag känner att jag har blivit piggare och har mer energi. För tillfället driver Ericsson ett litet stall med tolv hästar på Julmyra Horse Center i Heby, men paret står i begrepp att flytta bopålarna. – Vi ska hyra in oss på Håkan ”Hockey” Erikssons tidigare gård i Eskilstuna. Det är en härlig anläggning och vi får ett stall med möjlighet att bygga ut. Men eftersom Joni (Pettersson) som jobbar hos mig nu inte ska följa med så får jag klara mig själv i början, och då är klart att Maja kommer att hjälpa till.

Hemligheten: glädje På sikt är ambitionen att utöka stallet och bli mer framgångsrik på framförallt V75 där man tog två triumfer i fjol. – Jag hade 22 hästar ett tag, men det blev lite av ett mellanläge som inte fungerade så bra. Dessutom var det flera som inte riktigt höll måttet. Mitt mål när vi kommer till Eskilstuna är att komma upp i 30 stycken och kunna anställa lite folk, det skulle kännas perfekt. Vad gäller konsten att vinna V75-lopp finns numera spetskompetens inom hemmets väggar. – När jag frågar vad som gjorde att det gick så bra hos Strömberg så svarar Maja bara att ”vi var glada i stallet och då smittar det av sig på hästarna”. – Jag tvivlar väl på att det är hela sanningen, men jag har i alla fall blivit mycket gladare sedan Maja flyttade hit som vi får se på lördag om det fungerar, säger Ericsson som låter positiv kring sina två V75-hästar. – Båda ska vara förbättrade gentemot senaste starten. På förhand tycker jag att Obelix Skift är den hetare chansen, men Blue Star Champion kan också bli farlig om han får luckan.

Det här berättar Svante Ericsson om sina V75-hästar: – 1 Blue Star Champion (V75-5) har haft skadeproblem och tränas därför inte speciellt hårt mellan starterna. Det gör att han blir mer beroende av att starta tätt för att hålla formen. Eftersom han galopperade näst senast blev det ingen riktig genomkörare och jag tror att det var förklaringen till varför han var sämre senast, han behövde loppet i kroppen. Dessutom blev han lite väl het efter att ha kört om ledningen. Han verkar ha tagit det loppet på bästa sätt och har varit jättefin efteråt. Min bedömning är att formen på lördag ska vara likvärdig med senaste segern. Läget passar för en smygare och jag tror att han är snabb nog att få rygg på ledaren. Eventuellt kommer jag att köra honom med jänkarvagn, enda gången han tävlat med det var när Johnny Takter körde för fyra starter sedan. Den gången blev han störd till galopp så det gav inget kvitto på effekten. I övrigt ändrar jag inget och skulle det lösa sig med lucka kan han bli giftig. – 4 Obelix Skift (V75-6) har alltid varit stark, men dragits med aktionsproblem. Nu har han fått vara fräsch en tid och fått kontinuerlig träning, det gör att han orkar bära upp sin aktion på ett annat sätt och är förklaringen till utvecklingen. Senast gick jag mest ut för att ge honom ett sprinterlopp i benen inför den här uppgiften och var överraskad att han var så bra. Normalt ska han vara ännu ett snäpp vassare den här gången och distansen passar också bättre. Jag laddar det som går från start och det roligaste vore om vi kom till ledningen. I sådana fall kör jag gärna där, ska jag släppa till någon är det Rigel Face eftersom man brukar få chansen från Kolgjinis rygg. Annars är min häst helt allround för positioner och klarar även att göra en hel del själv på vägen.
