[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!]

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.

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

Yes.

[ resisting the urge to facepalm ]

Can't say I've tried.

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

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

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.”

...

[ 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?

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?

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

Little of column A, little of column B.

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.

What, like a rough draft?

[blinks]

No, like a life?

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

Eeeeeeeeehhhhhhh…

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

[ ugh ]

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

Does it actually counter either? Maybe your guy lived an extra wild life. I sure don’t know.

...This isn't the wildest thing I've heard of. It's weird for me, but some of my friends are getting straight up multiversal shenanigans. Isekai level stuff. Alternate performances, multiple alternate families, missing features, added features...

[fingerguns]

Variety is the spice of life!

Does anything, like, bother you.

Yes, and that’s why I am constantly intoxicated!

You know what. I respect it.

[laughs]

I’m just me. If you talk to other producers, you’ll get other opinions of varying levels of respectability, if that is what you are looking for.

Good luck with your basalt man puzzle.
