[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!]

The last one didn't even feel like a person.

Don’t be speciesist.

[ has he managed to engage someone even more annoying than Aster ]

Okay. Okay, fine.

What would you call it.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

[has he?]

“I think they belong to you,” wasn’t that what you were told? So if you take that at face value then the statement is as it is: it belongs to you.

“The smallest rock upon the mountain can cultivate to a higher form or be corrupted to a lower, as can the beast on the prowl, as can man in all his folly”; why shouldn’t that be true?

Are you quoting the B*ble at me.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

Yuck, no.

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

Okay, good, 'cause you were gonna lose at least 10 admiration points if you were.

My guy isn't a rock or a beast or whatever. He's... a minor superhero, I guess. Baby Legend. Spends his life beating up giant robots with his friends. Has fun doing it.

But the last one? I didn't even get a real vision. It was just a whole load of nothing. No scene, no dialog. Just someone's absence of emotions, and the desire for everything to stay the same. It wasn't... new, to whoever it was. It wasn't just a status effect, like that whole thing with Daphne.

It doesn't make sense.

Sounds awfully like a rock to me, my man. Maybe he was trying out being a basalt for a while. You ever try to talk to one of those? Booooooring.

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

Like, boring because they don't respond, or because their personalities are boring?

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

Yes.

Re: day 236, evening

[ resisting the urge to facepalm ]

Can't say I've tried.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

You haven’t, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t. You see?

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

I see. It still doesn't make sense, but I think I get your point.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

Just think about all the fucked-up shit that happens in written legends, yes? Then apply that to your situation. Then do as you will with the information.

I’m a producer, not a Showmaster, and we are all different. I’m a creature of bargain and opinion and hunger. But my opinion is that you shouldn’t forget that this is theoretically a legend of “you.”

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

...

[ sighs, taking a seat ]

I've thought about turning my emotions off before. Briefly, before I knew it was possible. But nobody that cares about me wants that. I don't want that. Even if I'd found a way, I wouldn't have gone through with it.

He's the same. He has as much to lose as I do, maybe more... and he's not a coward like I am.

[ this is incorrect but how would he know from his current sample size ]

But let's say some fucked-up legend shit happens to him. He goes through with it, or has it done to him against his will. I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. If I'm supposed to think, "not having emotions sucks"... then, I mean, yeah. Duh. I knew that already.

[pulls her pipe out of where it was wedged in the seat beside her…it’s not lit but she taps the stem of it against her lips, humming]

Do you see your visions as a lesson for you to learn from?

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

I don't know.

[ frowns, considering for a moment ]

I've been lucky. None of mine have been traumatic, so... honestly? I've been using them as a way to decompress, especially after performances. Which sounds reckless, but I really did think my guy was just some sci-fi action hero that had his shit together. He does the whole life and death thing a lot. Better than I do.

So I guess... yeah, I've been trying to mimic his together-ness, but as a subconscious thing?

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

So do you actually want to learn something from this one, or are you just disappointed that it wasn’t sufficient entertainment and decompression?

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

Little of column A, little of column B.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

Ah. Well. Unfortunately when it is the story of a continuous point of view, and it does not care about appearing perfect to a future reader, you’re going to get imperfections no matter what.

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

What, like a rough draft?

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

[blinks]

No, like a life?

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

We're. Both talking about reincarnation, right. Legends of past lives and all that.

Re: day 236, evening

[tricksyvixie]

Eeeeeeeeehhhhhhh…

[waggles both hands and her pipe in the air uncertainly]

Re: day 236, evening

[bittytorrent]

[ ugh ]

You said continuous. So that counters the multiple alternate timelines theory, but not the multiple past lives theory.
