Talk:Jaylen Hotdogfingers/Archive

We now know at least part of what happens when a formerly incinerated player is brought back: Jaylen Hotdogfingers has indeed rejoined the Seattle Garages, at the expense of Mike Townsend. All upside, if you ask me. Still unsure of the long-term effects however... Emilysylveon (talk) 19:37, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Jaylen Lore additions: Ruby Tuesday and beyond

Those of us in the Garages discord would like to make an addition to Jaylen's lore. A summary of what we want to add is:

For Season 7, she had no control over her hit by pitcher, aka "bean" balls, and after seeing the causes of her actions on Ruby Tuesday, this wrecked her emotionally. Her arm was possessed whenever it happened, working at the whims of the gods. She approached the microphone after season 7 asking for a deal, a way out of directly causing death. The microphone agreed, giving her agency over her beaning and changed her powers from instability to flickering. So, for season 8, the mic simply took to asking her that a number of beans happen per game, and left her to it.

This gives Jaylen a good mix of emotions and narrative beats that feel in line with her character. We are also currently drafting ideas about her motivations for leaving the team, should that happen with her Flickering status. Thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
