Backpatch (specifically the B.D./human IRM) is mentioned in a new IRM proposal for Gloria Bugsnax as someone that Gloria is very close with:

"This role led to xem being the first to befriend B.D. Rolsenthal when vi joined the team. Bugsnax and Rolsenthal’s relationship has been subject to no small amount of media speculation, ranging from a secret marriage to queerplatonic partners to a normal pair of roommates; both of them refuse to comment."

If this is approved for Gloria's page, I'll add a similar paragraph to the relevant IRM here.

In re: my previous post here proposing an IRM, this page needs an IRM template. I believe that the best format here would be a filebox. Happy to either defer to Flowers wiki liaisons or do it myself!

I think you can go for it! (Once the required waiting time is up)

Waveridden (talkcontribs)

Thanks! Do you/the Flowers in general have any preference about if it’s a full-page IRM or if it’s added at the bottom of what’s already here?

Kieren (talkcontribs)

Personally I dont really care that much but I prefer full page IRMs (and I think thats what flowers did in the past too) if anyone has any other takes tho they are free to share them here :D

I have an IRM proposal based on a fic I wrote once. TLDR: Backpatch Darnell "B.D." Rolsenthal is a computer programmer from Rhode Island who went on a vacation to Boston and accidentally joined the Flowers. Vi currently works part-time as a computer programmer and as a general assistant to the team. You can read the whole page here.

This page also mentions Gloria Bugsnax, Cory Twelve, and Margarito Nava. I'll be crossposting posthaste!

First Lore Write-up

Rolsenthal is a large humanoid mecha, with roses growing all over it. They use any pronouns. They were discovered broken down and hibernating in a distant corner of the Garden by Jaylen Hotdogfingers and Dunn Keyes, who used their knowledge of robotics to repair her. Soon after ey came back online, it witnessed Brock Forbes’ incineration, and volunteered to join the team in his place. When they were on the team, they became friends with Jaylen and Dunn, bonding over robotics. They also helped Rolsenthal find hir place on the team.

A cat named Cog lives in Rolsenthal’s cockpit, and is often assumed to be the pilot of the mecha by other players. Cog likes to sit on the controls, which throws off Rolsenthal's pitching aim considerably. Boston’s dimensional rifts cause Cog’s appearance to change frequently, with some observers reporting a fluffy grey cat, and others a ginger cat.

Rolsenthal does not know where it came from or how she ended up in the depths of The Garden, powered off for who knows how long. He does know, however, that Cog is xir best friend, and always has been.

When in the Shadows’ Greenhouse, Rolsenthal spends her time chatting to Dunn, if she is there, or attempting to repair their mechanics (which Cog promptly breaks).
