At Latesiesta of Season 14, the Breath Mints finished installing their newly-"acquired" PsychoAcoustics system in the Meadow. Shortly thereafter, a loud whine pierced the sky, followed by a crash, a thud, and the clattering of empty Five Loko cans. As the team investigated, they found XIII lying on the floor of Pudge's house on fifth base, beneath a gaping hole (next to the existing, larger hole) in the roof.

XIII spent their first few days dazed and scattered, often seemingly distracted from conversation, and complaining about a severe headache. On Day 77, the headache lessened ever so slightly.

They tried their hand at cooking. It went well. Zavala almost taught them eyeliner. Leach Ingram induced them into the Smokehouse Gang, having ignored the memo that the Gang had already disbanded.

On Day 84, XIII was due to pitch against the Shoe Thieves. Instead, they-
