[Dixie is a girl with notable red fox features (ears, tail, tapetum lucidum), who tends towards pretty, casual, feminine outfits. It is not possible to tell a Family affiliation from her wardrobe aesthetic. Her age is eerily indeterminate, though she does vibe as being on the older side.

She can often be found sitting on the edge of the stage smoking her pipe between (or sometimes during?) ongoing performances.

Alternatively, if she’s given you the map to one of her hangout spots, you can easily find her there if you follow it.

Hit her up for whatever!]

Nope! C’mon, come backstage for a second. Is Mr. Sam still having a case of the wobbles?

[beckons him]

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[sure, he'll follow her]

Nah, he was back on his feet last I saw him.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

[it seems like a fairly ordinary backstage area, deserted at the moment, but just offstage there’s a little table set up with a chair and a bowl of what looks like unusually spice-seasoned popcorn. she snaps her fingers, and a second chair appears for him]

Good, good. I can give you more snacks for Cirrus when you head back, that should maybe mollify his feelings a little.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[setting down the cups and cracking open the bottle of soju]

Well, he's definitely not gonna say no to more.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

It’s no skin off my nose, I like cooking.

[she’ll let him pour, delicately breathing in the smell of the booze before she drinks it]

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[he is pouring a moderate amount. a "let's sit around and chill" sort of amount.]

Homemade snacks? Maybe I should eat unlabeled drugs more often if this is what Sam's getting out of it.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

[she is sipping leisurely, yeah! happy to sit and shoot the shit]

Oh, they’re not just for him. Y’all made a good impression on little old me, of course I wouldn’t leave any of Cirrus out ☆

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[taking a seat with his own cup]

Oh, good. I'd hate to think we left a bad one.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

[laughs]

Were you worried about it? I’m not like the Dame, you know.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

No offense, but we don't really know what any of you are like.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

Well, you know we’re all the type to choose to run performances. It takes a certain kind of personality.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

That, or some very specific motivation. What do you fuckers get out of running performances, anyway? Aside from watching us all lose our shit.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

The losing your shit part doesn’t really matter to all of us. I think enough of us have taken a turn you can see we all get a kick outta something different about our performances.

[she’s quiet for a little bit, looking down into her drink; her ears have slanted back into her hair]

There’s some things Producers can’t talk about direct, dearest bird. But I’ll say it as close as I can.

If you felt backed into a real shithole, where all you could do was either keep sinking deeper in the pit or grab a rope made out of barbed wire, what would you pick?

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Well, when you put it like that... Grab the rope.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

That’s what I did.

[tips her cup up and drains it to the dregs]

And some Producers did it because they like the blood when the metal digs into someone’s hands, and some did it just to be out of there, and some did it out of some misguided attempt at grabbing someone else’s hand next time, and some did it for no reason I can figure out at all, because they’re weird.

We can do a little more for it now, sure. Don’t ever start thinking we’re that much different from you, though.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[reaching over to refill her cup]

Gotta say, it sure doesn't look that way from the stage.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

That’s stage magic, love! In more ways than one. Thanks.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You're welcome.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

[inclines her head a little]

Question: if you could get anything out of this mess and noise, what would you want?

This isn’t a trick.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I'd settle for getting back to Port Manteau in one piece and still having a fucking job when I do.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

[considers this one]

And if you couldn’t have that?

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Well, where does not having either of those things leave me? Trapped on this fucking hell boat forever?

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

…

It probably won’t come to that.

Re: Day 219

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Which means it's still on the table.

Re: Day 219

[tricksyvixie]

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t before. So it shouldn’t be this time either.
