Full Circle

On Season 2 day 74 Jessi Wise was incinerated and replaced by York Silk. As she watched him be dragged into the splort, she felt a certain amount of responsibility for him and everything he experienced in the game. She celebrated his record breaking number of home runs in season 4, she cursed the gods on his behalf when he was conscripted to the Shelled one's Pods and she cried with relief when he was able to land safely in Halifax- shaken but recovering.

And then on Season 14, Day 87, When York met the same end that Jessi once had all those years ago she decided this would not stand.

Jessi Wise had been dead a long time, and she had picked up a few tricks. While she never had any interest in returning to play herself, she had watched as Jaylen Hotdogfingers, Tillman Henderson, and Sutton Picklestein all returned from the dead, and were eventually returned to the Hall. She knew that whatever she could offer would be temporary, but she also knew that whatever she could offer him she owed him as her replacement.

In the season 14 election Jessi Wise took control of the narrative, and decided that she was not yet done protecting her charge.

Death means nothing to those who have known it long enough.

Back in the Spotlight

After his return from the grave York took up a position on the Baltimore Crabs and was immediately confronted with their rookie star pitcher Jacoby Podcast. Jacoby was fascinated by York and his history, and looking to get him on an episode. After the initial awkwardness of the exchange, the two of them got along remarkably well, with their shared enthusiasm for the splort and love of occasionally getting into trouble.

As the two most personable and media friendly Crabs, York and Jacoby were quickly deputized to be the Crabs who dealt with any postgame interviews, and all incoming press or questions related to the team. The press learned that despite the duo’s goofy exterior, they were just as fast to crack a joke as they were to cut down any insensitive questions from reporters regarding the Big Leagues, the current state of the players, or York’s own necromancy. In fact, after one such question York asked Nagomi to flip one such reporter’s vehicle upside down and leave it skewered on a lamppost in front of the stadium as a warning (a trick he learned from his mom). Nagomi was happy to assist.
