Rigby and The Vault
Rigby had gotten onto the idolboard at the end of season 23 in recognition of his audacious basestealing. However as he had never been awarded ego+ in any seasons played he was not called up to the Rising Stars active roster instead he was called up to the remain in the shadows until getting sent back to Atlantis at the game’s cancellation.
Amidst the tumult of Season 24 Rigby is recalled to have cursed the Supernova along with every other player and person in Atlantis despite his usual preference for Solar Eclipses. People who had attention to pay him recalled “he was dismissive of it, it wasn’t ‘high’ enough” and “he hated how bright it was, called it an interrupter and distraction”. Rigby was foremost amongst those leading the Atlanteans away from it to the Vault. His determination throughout was a steady anchor even, or especially, when it drove him to repeatedly smash himself on the Vault doors.
After being taken into the Vault Rigby expressed an interest in finding the ILB Historical Preservation Site. His eventual discovery was marked by a cube shaped hole in the wall.
Although it is not unusual for Rigby to spend time away from his team usually his team has a good idea where he is. As time passed on in the Vault while Blaseball was Elsewhere he was nearly never anywhere to be found. What was behind these frequent disappearances turned out to be the ILB Historical Preservation Site where he would practice his pitching and batting, making sure to spend a long time waiting in the dugout between each. No other player or fan had been present with him in the stadium at these times. All Rigby had to say on the matter was that he’s “not some forgotten knock-off”.
