Hiya!
I absolutely love reading Long Fall, and this latest chapter with Cait’s PowerPoint [REDACTED] is so adorkable! Jayce’s emotional trauma with the hotdog bit becoming part of his reputation is fantastic, too.
I was wondering: does Sarah have her own bit(s) too? Or is it more of a Jayce/Cait/Cassandra (sibling-ish/family) thing?
Also, since Mel is from Noxus, does she have a favorite Jailbork flavor?
Hiya right back, anon!
I hope you don't mind that I redacted the spoiler in your ask for folks who haven't read the latest chapter yet.
I think the Sarah question is complex because it's tapping into a bigger semantic discussion of what constitutes a bit. I'd argue that a bit needs to be both ongoing and outside of the normal operating parameters of the jokester. So, Caitlyn enacting hotdog warfare counts as a bit because she's been doing it for ages and would have no desire to engage with hotdogs outside of tormenting Jayce. With Sarah, her normal operating parameters already stretch incredulity, so a lot of the more outrageous things she does (flirting constantly, poking the hornet's nest, meddling with everyone's love life, etc.) are just business as usual for her.
In that context, the only thing I'd really consider a Sarah bit is the lore I dropped in this most recent chapter (that I'd been trying to fit in for ages,) where every time Sarah has denied being in a relationship with Caitlyn over the years, she always puts a winky emoji at the end of it. So:
"Cait and I aren't dating 😉"
"I'm definitely not conducting an illicit affair with Caitlyn 😉"
"I would never renounce my wanton ways for the loving embrace of Caitlyn Kiramman 😉"
"I am not in a sexy throuple with Vi and Caitlyn 😉"
So, I guess you can frame this as Sarah doesn't do many bits because she's already like that.
Mel's agent told me to tell you this:
Mel Medarda is proud to represent Jailbreak Energy as a brand ambassador. She embodies the bold spirit necessary to break boundaries in today's world of sport climbing. She has no relationship to Jailbork N-ergy nor any other competing energy drinks. Any rumors to the contrary, especially that her favorite Jailbork flavor is Wolf Ichor, a cherry cola flavor, are a fabrication and to be disregarded.
Thank you so much for the ask, anon!
