Transfer to the Spies

We'd like to add a "Transfer to the Spies" section, which will encompass the current last paragraph of Wilson's page and add a paragraph about how they're fitting in with the new team, referring back to skills that would be helpful as a spy (acting, cloning, magic.)

Transfer to the Spies

After talking with the Pies, these are our proposed changes to Morrow's page.

Transfer to the Spies

At the beginning of Season 4, the Houston Spies began an operation to free Wilson from My Roomie Ruslan at the behest of Agent Marco Escobar. Escobar emphasized Wilson's magical powers in order to get the Spies’ Upper Management to free Wilson from the TV show, but subsequently declassified documents reveal Escobar was more interested in freeing Wilson from their show than utilizing their powers for spying purposes. The difficulty in freeing Wilson lay in the show’s anomalous effect, which meant that anyone who entered the show followed TV sitcom rules, failing in comedic ways. As a co-star of the show, this kept Wilson trapped, unable to leave. Thus, the Spies mounted a [REDACTED]-scale operation to extract Wilson from the show. The plan resulted in several award-winning episodes as multiple Spies, including Agents Reese Clark, Fitzgerald Blackburn, and Theodore Holloway tried and failed to carry out this mission. Each were comedically foiled by anomalous effect. Agent Holloway, for example, attempted to lie in wait in their teddy bear form in the messy apartment, only to be foiled by forgetting differences in time zones, thus reverting them to their human form. Upon seeing a strange person in his apartment, Greatness, wearing a nightgown and a tiny nightcap, chased Agent Holloway off with a rolling pin.

Eventually these shenanigans led to the show’s Season 9 finale, “Scooting Away With Scott.” In the episode Denzel Scott overcame the anomalous effect due to their average nature and resistance to strange phenomena. The episode shows Scott simply walking onto the set in the midst of filming, saying “I don’t know what all these cameras are for, but would you like to leave, Morrow?” The camera view switches to Wilson, who is seen nodding. When the camera switches back to Scott they have disappeared. In their place is a car in the middle of the set. Morrow enters the car, which then drives away. The episode lasts a total of 2 minutes and 37 seconds.

During a Feedback event on Day 37 of Season 4, the Spies organized the official swap of Morrow to the Spies. Then Houston Spies player Yeong-Ho Benitez ripped the “S” from the word “Spies” on their uniform and placed it in front of the “Pies” on Morrow’s, signifying the official swap of the two players. Fans have speculated Morrow went along with this swap either because they were a Spies agent returning to HQ or because My Roomie Ruslan’s latest season had come to an end. When asked about how they were finding living alone after so much time with a roommate, Wilson said “It’s been quiet, really. It’s...almost too quiet.”

This implies that Wilson left the show before his feedback swap, while The My roomie Rulsan Lore references several events that take place long after, such as Mickey Wood's incineration in season 6 and Summers pony playing for the pies in season 8. Would it be possible to make it so the spies couldn't liberate wilson from the show for several seasons after the swap so that those episodes and the movie can stay in place?

I think you can tweak it a bit so that the plan started with Morrow's feedback but wasn't successful until now.

So, we did a little back-of-the-discord-envelope math and comparing details, and here's what we've got:

MRR starts in Blaseball S3. It films Season 1 of the show then, then 2 and 3 during the Siesta following Season 3. After that, the seasons of both blaseball and MRR line up.

Morrow is swapped in S4, but is contractually trapped to keep living with Ruslan during this time (as I think has been noted elsewhere). The Spies have efforts underway to free him, as above.

Following the My Roomie Ruslan: the Movie (filmed after Season 8), the Spies plans bear fruit in Season 9, culminating in the above Season 9 finale and the extraction of Morrow from the show (and the apartment).

Ruslan, being not actually on the lease, goes over to teammate Lang Richardson's apartment. The camera crew, not realizing the show should be over, follow him, and the new era of MRR begins with S10.

Morrow Wilson is finally free.

I think that lines up with what you've got up there, just with the specific clarity that Morrow's been trapped on the show despite being on the Spies, until after S9. That work for folks? SlamdanceCosmopolis (talk) 18:09, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

We have a revised version that lines up with that timeline and the ideas of option 2 above. Once we get a little more internal feedback I will post that here. TyGuy8 (talk) 18:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Alright, here is our revision of Morrow's transfer to the Spies. Let us know what you think!

Transfer to the Spies

At the beginning of Season 4, the Houston Spies began an operation to free Wilson from My Roomie Ruslan at the behest of Agent Marco Escobar. Escobar emphasized Wilson's magical powers in order to get the Spies’ Upper Management to free Wilson from the TV show, but subsequently declassified documents reveal Escobar was more interested in freeing Wilson from their show than utilizing their powers for spying purposes.

Fans have speculated Morrow went along with this swap either because they were a Spies agent returning to HQ or because they were looking for a way to leave My Roomie Ruslan. Unfortunately for Wilson, the anomalous effect of the show meant that anyone who entered the show followed TV sitcom rules, which led to great difficulty in freeing Wilson.

As a co-star of the show Wilson was trapped, unable to leave, bound by the anomalous effect and their contract. Thus, the Spies mounted a [REDACTED]-scale operation to extract Wilson from the show. The plan resulted in several award-winning episodes as multiple Spies, including Agents Reese Clark, Fitzgerald Blackburn, and Theodore Holloway tried and failed to carry out this mission. Each were comedically foiled.

Upon seeing a strange person in his apartment, Greatness, wearing a nightgown and a tiny nightcap, chased Agent Holloway off with a rolling pin.

Eventually these shenanigans led to Wilson’s last episode on the show, the Season 9 finale, “Scooting Away With Scott.” In the episode Denzel Scott overcame the anomalous effect due to their average nature and resistance to strange phenomena. The episode shows Scott simply walking onto the set in the midst of filming, saying “I don’t know what all these cameras are for, but would you like to leave, Morrow?” The camera view switches to Wilson, who is seen nodding. When the camera switches back to Scott they have disappeared. In their place is a car in the middle of the set. Morrow enters the car, which then drives away.

It’s...almost too quiet.”

I think this is fine from our end! Nice! SlamdanceCosmopolis (talk) 22:58, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Awesome!

Also, oops! Just realized I left off a section initially. This mostly pertains to Morrow after the swap to the Spies, moving a paragraph that was in the "Transfer to the Spies" section to a new section we can expand later on.

Time with the Spies

Wilson's acting, cloning, and magical abilities have made them a welcome addition to the Spies' roster. In true Spies tradition, Wilson refuses to comment on how their skills are being put to use. Wilson is particularly reticent when it comes to questions of their involvement with the alleged cloning of Evelton McBlase—when asked, they simply acted as if they hadn't heard and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Declassified documents reveal that most instances of Morrow using their magic are for very minor things, such as passing the remote, or chopping vegetables with Malik Romayne, and preventing Marco from floating up into ceiling fans when they become possessed.

Question about Morrow to the Pies

I was wondering if the Pies had a sexuality in mind when they made Morrow? I'm writing some stuff about them (not necessarily for the wiki) wouldn't wanna overstep if there was something already in mind. Qrthe (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

We didn't really get into it. The Pies rarely get specific about the sexuality of their players, per the No Horny rule. I don't think you're going to ruffle any feathers if you have something you want to do there. SlamdanceCosmopolis (talk) 19:01, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
