Box of Baldwin Breadwinner Files

Dust billows as the file box lands on the table. While many archives in the Interdimensional Rumor Mill are unified in some way, this... definitely isn’t one of them. The accompanying Rumor Registry explains all of the contents... wherever it is... but for now you grab the folder labelled IF-8.1747 and start reading...

Like Pumice, Like Sourdough

Baldwin Breadwinner has never once made a mistake. Or, perhaps, if she were to hypothetically make one, she could simply make a deal to erase it from the past. There was the big contract, of course; Baldwin Breadwinner doesn't exist prior to then, but she kept her diabolical companion on retainer ever since.

It's hard to learn from a mistake when she forgets she ever made it. And it's hard to learn that forgetting might be a mistake all on its own.

There are moments where Baldwin Breadwinner pictures the Baldwin Breadwinner that others say she must be like, and has trouble suspending her disbelief. The gaps where things once were could be overwhelming, if she could remember that there are gaps. To her teammates, she's supposedly a competent mom and a level-headed leaderly type. Who is she a mom to, some children somewhere, but are there actually any? Did she concoct some illusory magic to glamour away the pits in her personhood?

It doesn't bother her much, she may even feel a tinge of pride in it, to sell the fantasy. If she can hold it together in front of others and keep that normal, composed image, there's nothing to be concerned with.

When she looks into the mirror, someone else is often wearing her reflection. Consequence of networking with that particular crowd. It happens so often that she has stopped recognizing her face as her own anymore. Nothing around her feels hers anymore, she can't remember where her furniture was from, her walls are bare of posters or art, and photographs of her tend to bleach out at alarming rates. There's not much to account for, so holding it together should be easy. She just has to hold it together.

She forgot how much she leaned on them, the way they let her be, however that turned out. She was the only one who was holding any doubt. She stopped holding it together soon after the trade.

Trade to the Crabs

In the period between the Season 10 Election and the Ascension, Breadwinner's companion was nowhere to be found. It cannot be confirmed whether it is barred from going Up and sought new entertainment when it realized its time with Baldwin was ending, or perhaps it could reach her up there, and was off making preparations for far greater plans afoot. However, what is known, is that in that time, the illusions were beginning to come undone, just a little.

Baldwin certainly wasn't remembering things she lost, the deals they made were binding. It seemed however that her companion had been taking a far more active role in smoothing over the incongruencies that came with so many inconsequential deals, and distorting how bad things were getting for her. In this strange place, she found herself a stranger too, more than ever before.

When her companion returns, they are going to have a long conversation.

There was freedom in the unfamiliar company of the now three-time champions, though. It wasn't that she was averse to her two peers who traveled with her from the Fridays, but her teammates have for years formed preconceptions around who she was supposed to be. She took the opportunity to rediscover herself through the clear eyes of the Crabs, and found them to be a refreshing grounding element who were happy to bounce ideas with her. She learned that she really was a pretty level-headed leaderly type after all, and maybe a little bit of a mom. Her friends were never that far off, after all.

And she learned a lot from the Crabs, too. The team as a whole gave Baldwin an insight into perseverance through radical change in a way that she hadn't gotten to experience before. It wasn't that they were great role models all around; they painted for her a picture of both the most successful and toxic responses and coping mechanisms they held onto. But they faced the uncertain and the unstable with every shred of their will, and they did it the "regular" way. No contracts, looparounds, and but a dash of accelerated physiological adaptation.

Past comforts let Baldwin tend to herself like a hedge, pruning herself into shape at the pace of growing grass, and there is no doubt that she grew a beautiful person from there. But Baldwin knew only the shear, she erased erased erased everything she hated from herself all this time, but only at the Ascension had she found a place to learn how to build a Baldwin that she could love.

-== Early Life ==
-Baldwin Breadwinner's life history is surprisingly shrouded in mystery. She has no known living or unliving relatives, and despite her having had a legal name change,<ref>This does not refer to [[The Wyatt Masoning]].</ref> all documents concerning her past had been mysteriously wisped into the air, floating along the harsh breeze until they met the document-destroying jaws of a nearby incinerator. When asked about this in various interviews, Breadwinner responded vaguely, saying that <blockquote>''"Yeah, I tried to make a pact with the Dark God Beelzeblase in order to give up half my life in order to completely erase my past, among other things. I'm not really sure if it went through, since the summoning was pretty sloppy, and I didn't see anything or anyone when I started dripping my blood in, but a day later, all of my 'The Game of Life' boards that were sitting in my closet had been cut in half. So, you know. Maybe that worked, but the Dark God probably misunderstood the deal."''</blockquote>
+On {{BetaSeason|8}}, Day 31, Breadwinner swallowed a [[Peanuts|peanut]] and had an [[Peanuts (weather)#Reactions|allergic]] reaction, resulting in a combined {{Star Change|9.2|4.9}} stat decrease.
+On {{BetaSeason|10}}, Day 66, Breadwinner's defensive ability was siphoned by [[Charleston Shoe Thieves]] hitter [[Richardson Games]] in a game with Blooddrain weather.
-When pressed on her name before her legal change, Breadwinner was recorded as speaking it, but the interviewing correspondent suddenly became deaf, her vision became completely red, and she vomited out an unknown, jet black substance that melted through the floor. The recording glitches around the moment she says her name. Breadwinner, soon after, responds with ''"Hey! Thanks for the assist, bro,"'' and the correspondent recovered from their demonic episode a few hours later.
+During the {{BetaSeason|10#Election Results|@ elections}}, Breadwinner was traded to the [[Baltimore Crabs]] for [[Sutton Dreamy]] via the {{BetaSeason|10#Blessings|'''People's Champion'''}} blessing.
-Other interviewers attempted to follow up on details concerning her deals with the Dark God Beelzeblase, but she wasn't really too sure what worked and what didn't herself. ''"I tried to make a deal with him to make me an ungodly powerful Blaseball player,"'' she states. She continues, saying ''"But he said '''<u>'man, no, that sounds boring as hell. why don't you just get good'</u>''', so I did that instead."'' Various other attempted deals with the devil were largely frivolous.
+During the {{BetaSeason|12#Election Results|@ elections}}, Breadwinner's defense was increased by {{Star Change|2.5|3.4}} as a result of the Crabs' {{BetaSeason|12#Blessings|'''The Rack'''}} blessing.
-== Bread Winning Controversy ==
+On {{BetaSeason|13}}, Day 23, Breadwinner swallowed a [[Peanuts|peanut]] and had an [[Peanuts (weather)#Reactions|allergic]] reaction, resulting in a combined {{Star Change|9.8|5.4}} stat decrease.
-Baldwin Breadwinner is known for only ever eating meals that include bread in them. Whether this means common foods such as toast and sandwiches, or less common bread-based meals such as breadcrumb-covered meatballs and bruschetta, she sticks to this diet very strictly. As a result of this, she's had to clash against her own former team management, as she would often be forced to hold, or even eat, a taco for promotional material. Eventually, she got her wish, and ever since, she had usually been seen in those promotional materials with a lone Subway sandwich as everyone else enjoys their taco.
+Breadwinner was traded to the [[Miami Dale]] in exchange for [[Logan Horseman]] during the {{BetaSeason|13#Election Results|@ elections}} via the Crabs' {{BetaSeason|13#Wills|'''Exchange'''}} will.
-Some members of the team have attempted to get her to try a taco by encasing the taco materials within bread, or sprinkling breadcrumbs on the taco. Breadwinner's statement on the subject is that doing so sort of defeats the point of a taco. People eventually decided to stop questioning this.
+Breadwinner was traded back to the [[Baltimore Crabs]] in exchange for [[Logan Horseman]] during the {{BetaSeason|14#Election Results|@ elections}} via the Dale's {{BetaSeason|14#Wills|'''Exchange'''}} will. Breadwinner was then traded to the [[Hawai'i Fridays]] in exchange for [[Alyssa Harrell]] via the Fridays' '''Exchange''' will.
-== More Bread ==
+During the {{BetaSeason|15#Election Results|@ elections}}, Breadwinner's stats were rerolled and they gained the {{ModLink|Alternate}} and {{ModLink|Parasite}} modifications as a result of the Fridays' {{BetaSeason|15#Wills|'''Alternate Trust'''}} will.
-Within the Unlimited Los Angeli, wherein time and space are suggestion, not law, Baldwin Breadwinner was surprised and excited to find that all of her bats had been replaced by stale baguettes.
-== Feedback to the Fridays ==
+During the {{BetaSeason|16#Election Results|@ elections}}, Breadwinner became a pitcher via the Fridays' {{BetaSeason|16#Wills|'''Move'''}} will.
-On Day 82 of season 4, Fletcher Yamamoto baked a particularly transcendent loaf of bread during his pre-game ritual and had it on display at the Friday's third base snack cart. Those by the cart report that they heard Breadwinner say between mouthfuls of bread, "I wish this loaf lasted forever." Our Lady of Perpetual Friday obliged.
-Since joining the Fridays, Breadwinner has reported that from now on she will only be wearing loafers during games.
+During the {{BetaSeason|17#Election Results|@ elections}}, Breadwinner was traded to the [[Dallas Steaks]] with no return via the {{BetaSeason|17#Blessings|'''Alternator'''}} blessing.
-There are unconfirmed rumors that [[Alyssa Harrell|Harrell]] and Breadwinner have been seen making bread together. Footage: [https://twitter.com/Thelonious_Junk/status/1307327244675813379 part1] [https://twitter.com/Thelonious_Junk/status/1310001495761453056 part2]
